You can't have too much Beef, right? Well, doctors might argue otherwise, but in golf, the breakout star of 2016 is everywhere these days and people are eating him up.

Andrew Johnston is on the cover of the October issue of Golf Digest, he's in some hilarious new commercials for Arby's, and American fans will see even more of him now that he's earned his PGA Tour card for next season. And now, at the risk of Beef overload, the popular Brit is this week's guest on the Golf Digest Podcast.

Beef joined us from the Web.com Tour Finals to talk about all those things and more, including his favorite Will Ferrell movies, how he chooses his American sports teams, and his prospects of being invited on #SB2K17 now that he's a PGA Tour member. In addition, we can confidently say this is the first interview during Beef's whirlwind season that he was NOT asked about how he got his fun nickname. C'mon, now. If you're reading this, you already know that.
