The latest episode of H&H: The Henry and Hicks Show brings a loaded lineup of storylines, bold takes, and a little bit of “I told you so.” Tiger Woods is back in the headlines, and Ahmad Hicks and Henry Lake dive into the latest scandal surrounding the golf legend—while asking the bigger question: will we ever see Woods win another Masters again? Switching gears to hoops, the Minnesota Lynx are on the clock. With the WNBA announcing key upcoming dates, the guys break down draft strategy and debate who could be the right fit to help elevate the franchise moving forward. On the baseball front, the Minnesota Twins sit at .500—maybe surprising to some—but the real eye-opener has been Taj Bradley.
