Is Dan Rapaport still with Barstool? Does Dan Rapaport work for Barstool or Fore Play?

No, Dan Rapaport has not worked for Barstool Sports since September 2024, and as of November 2026 he works for Skratch. He announced his exit on Fore Play’s September 5, 2024 episode, titled “Goodbye Dan Rapaport” in the show’s feed, and on September 26, 2024 the remaining hosts reacted on air to “his new career move.” We found no Fore Play episode since then with him as a host or guest. The confusion has a likely source: the show’s Apple Podcasts page still listed him among its hosts in November 2026. His own show, Dan on Golf, posted new videos as recently as November 11, 2026, including Was Bryson DeChambeau To LIV Golf A Good Move for His Career?

Why did Dan Rapaport leave Barstool? What happened to Dan Rapaport?

Dan Rapaport left Barstool Sports in September 2024 because his contract ran out with the end of the PGA Tour season and he chose not to re-sign, per Awful Announcing (September 6, 2024). On his last episode he said he had “zero negative emotions toward Fore Play or Barstool,” but also that the company was “a little bit different than when I joined,” adding that when he joined, “we were gonna compete with ESPN.” He joined in 2022, when Penn Entertainment owned Barstool; Dave Portnoy bought it back in 2023. On X he wrote that he was “beyond grateful for these last 2 years.” On September 23, 2024, Pro Shop, the golf media company co-founded by Full Swing producer Chad Mumm and Joe Purzycki, named him editor-at-large of Skratch, per Awful Announcing and Barrett Media. He said the move felt like “going back to my journalism roots a bit.”

What did Dave Portnoy say about Dan Rapaport? Is there a Dan Rapaport controversy?

Dave Portnoy called Dan Rapaport “boring” on September 5, 2024, the day Rapaport announced he was leaving, which is the only public dispute around him that we could source. Speaking on The Unnamed Show with Kirk Minihane and Ryan Whitney, Portnoy called him “an unusual fit for us in the sense he’s boring” and said he had “apathy” toward him, per Awful Announcing. Portnoy also said Rapaport’s agents had reached out about a new contract, that he could have chased the renewal harder, that he would have re-signed him, that leaving was “his choice,” and that he wished him well. Minihane said Rapaport had implied Portnoy does not care about growing the company; Portnoy said he is “not obsessed with growing the company.” We found no printed reply from Rapaport to the “boring” remark.

How did Dan Rapaport join Fore Play, and what happened with Lurch?

Dan Rapaport joined Fore Play full time from Golf Digest on August 29, 2022, and his hiring came with the end of Lurch’s paid role on the show. Barrett Media reported that he would be “a full-time member of the Fore Play brand,” across podcasts, videos, merchandise and events, while still covering tournaments, breaking news and developing sources. Fore Play’s August 30, 2022 episode, “The Announcement: Dan Rapaport Joins Barstool Sports,” discussed his move and Lurch’s role going forward, per the show’s feed. The two later captained opposite sides in Fore Play Golf’s Team Dan Vs Team Lurch at Ozarks National. Lurch’s side of the change is in his entry.

Is Dan Rapaport related to Ian Rapoport or Michael Rapaport? Who is Dan Rapaport’s dad?

This entry is about Dan Rapaport the golf reporter. Ian Rapoport, whose surname is spelled with an “o,” is an NFL insider and a golfer himself, per a GOLF.com profile from September 2022. If an accepted outlet reports a family link, this entry will add it.

Is Dan Rapaport a scratch golfer? Is Dan Rapaport good at golf?

Dan Rapaport has not published a handicap index in anything we could source, so we cannot confirm that he is a scratch golfer. Golf Monthly wrote in February 2023, “We believe he has a handicap of around scratch,” which is its own estimate, not a posted index. What is public is that he plays on camera: he captained a side in Fore Play Golf’s Team Dan Vs Team Lurch, and Dan on Golf posts clips of him playing, such as a Cradle Knockout challenge at Pinehurst in November 2026.

Who represents Dan Rapaport?

Dan Rapaport has agents, but no agency is named publicly that we could find: Dave Portnoy said in September 2024 that “his agents” had reached out about renewing his Barstool contract, per Awful Announcing. His employer as of November 2026 is Skratch, owned by Pro Shop. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he is still with Barstool and why he left, and the answer is on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
