On The Travel Channel program Brandon Lang Bets the World, Lang journeys to remote destinations with $10,000, where he finds unusual competitions to which he applies his considerable expertise. Some events handicapped by Lang on the show include a haggis-eating contest, a fruit-basket race, and a caber-toss event.

A native of Midland, Michigan, Lang always made sports his top priority.
