Speaker 1: Lo Pod, Go Lo Pod. What a day to be

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: recording the Golf podcast. We have Phil, we got DJ,

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: we gotta Live. We got team names, which I actually

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: think are kind of funny. Uh, you know it's crazy

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: the Live is dominated today. Well, let's let's call a

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: spade a spade. They they won simple fact that like

18
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: this kind of worked in the sense of they got

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: to own the week going up against the RBC, and

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: we're obviously gonna dive all into that. I'm wearing my

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods hat and solidarity with my man Eldrick Tiger Woods,

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: who is not playing in the US Open. And it

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: doesn't it feels like it's an afterthought now. In fairness,

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: I think after the way the the PGA Championship, he

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: was really struggling a Withdrew. I think we all assumed

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that he was not gonna play at the country club

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: here in a week and would just try to make

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: it to the Open Championship at St. Andrew's, which he

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: said before is his favorite course in the world. So

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, while it's news because he tweeted

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: it out, I think we all assumed in the Gulf world,

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: those of us, that all of the sport, the Tiger

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: was probably not going to play in the US Open.

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Now our boy Phil, uh, I don't think I expected

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: him one. He didn't join Live last week. We'll dive

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: into Phil, We'll dive into DJ, will dive into Live.

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll have a lot of thoughts there. We'll talk to

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Sobel about his reaction. He's talked to a lot of

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: people in professional golf, the PGA Tour or they rattled

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: just the whole thing. And then of course at go

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: Lo Pod at gol Pod is my Instagram. If you

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: want to get your question answered here on the show,

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: you gotta go to at go Low pod. We got

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: a several new d M s I'm gonna read today

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: after we talked to Sobel so at go lo pod.

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the pod. If you like golf, you play

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: golf with your friends, tell him about the podcast. I

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: love talking golf and uh I hope you guys enjoy it.

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Let's start overall listen. I think initially Live was hoping

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: to land a bunch of guys in the top fifty.

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: They basically landed Gooch, Sergio and dj I. They were

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: hoping for some Bryson's maybe land like a JT. Rory type,

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: and they didn't. Though I think it's inevitable that Bryson

54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: and even Ricky Fowler, while no longer being a top

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: fifty player, is easily one of the most famous golfers.

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: So Live the PGA Tours unique because my buddy Jeff Schwartz,

57
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: who played in the NFL for a long time, really

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: struggle to understand. He texts me the other day, like,

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: how can the PGA Tour allow these guys to do this? Baseball, football, basketball,

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: would never allow this. I said, well, they are not

61
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: under contract with these individuals in the sense of you're

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: not a W two employee, you're a ten ninety nine guy.

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: You have to pay. Like if I'm on the Golden

64
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: State Warriors when I flew back to Boston to play

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals, I don't pay for anything. Joe

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Laco plays for the flight. I get per diem for

67
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: my food, they feed me, they put me up in

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: a hotel, they cover all the expenses. That's not how

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: golf works. When Dustin Johnson went to the DJ Championship,

70
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: went went to Augusta, went to Riviera, he compensates his flight.

71
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's very unique that way. They are independent contractor.

72
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: His wife said over and over the PGA tour is

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: going to regardless whether you stand on the side of

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: an organization or whether you stand on the side of

75
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: the employee. It's pretty clear they're gonna lose this fight.

76
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: You cannot tell someone where they can and cannot work

77
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: in this situation when they're atend ninety nine employee. It's

78
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: why an Uber driver is also allowed to drive for

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: lift and also deliver for door Dash. The PG eight

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Tour is essentially saying that if they were Uber, you're

81
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: not allowed to drive for lift and you're not allowed

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to drive for door Dash, and these players are like,

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: screw you. Now. A lot of players, especially the rich ones,

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: have taken hardline stances. Well JT. Jordan's, those guys have

85
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: a ton of money, so it's easy for them to

86
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: do that. Taylor Gooch took the stance of like, I

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: don't even aspire to do that. Maybe I do, but

88
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go take the money. I because money talks

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: and ship walks. If Jordan's Beat and Rory and some

90
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: of these guys didn't have the astronomical amount of wealth

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: they had, they easily could have been wooed by this thing.

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: But you can't convince me that the PGA Tour is

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: not really really rattled because whatever happens this weekend, I

94
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: don't know how much I'm gonna watch, Probably not much.

95
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: I'll consume a little bit on my computer or phone,

96
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: see some stuff on Twitter. But here's what's gonna happen.

97
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: At the end of the weekend. Payouts are gonna happen.

98
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Someone is gonna win four million dollars, another guy is

99
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna win three million dollars. Another guy is gonna win

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: two million dollars. If you win two million dollars. I

101
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: haven't looked at the purse for the rbc UH Canadian

102
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Open this weekend. There's a chance that the winner there

103
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: gets like one point eight. There's a chance that third

104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: or fourth place at this event makes more money than

105
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: the winner on the PGA Tour. And here's the other thing,

106
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: there is no cuts. I am not pro Saudi Arabia.

107
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I do not like pretend to be pro Greg Norman,

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: but I do understand they got something going for them.

109
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: The reason all these other leagues historically have always failed,

110
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: whether it's the USFL, I guess in my lifetime, there's

111
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: never been a like competition in basketball. They never have

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: enough money. They run out of the funds. Remember when

113
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: COVID hit and the a F canceled, it ended immediately

114
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: went bankrupt. They don't have the money. Vince McMahon's like,

115
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fund this. You know what. The Saudis

116
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: have unlimited amount of cash. I mean, there are rumors

117
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: out that there's two hundred million dollars waiting for Bryson D. Shambo.

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: If Bryson D Shambo lives up to the hype and

119
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: lives up to his potential. He will never in a

120
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: million years earned two hundred million dollars on the golf course.

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: It will not happen. Tiger Woods, who won all the majors,

122
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: all the tournaments, has a career earnings of like a

123
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: d twenty million dollars. Now, obviously it's a golfer. You

124
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: make a lot off the course. But when they're paying

125
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: these guys, like ultimately last year or last week when

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: DJ went as time went on, they gave him a

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: hundred potentially a hundred and fifty million dollars. And I

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: see so many of the media elites and listen, I'm

129
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 1: a fan of Brandon Shamblely. I love the Golf Channel,

130
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: it's my favorite channel on television. But I think him

131
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: and some of the other big Jay's they get so

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: morally superior. It's like, hey, guys, no one's offering you

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: that much money. Now you can argue. I respect Jordan's

134
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: because ultimately Jordan and Rory think about this, to meet

135
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: the two biggest properties non Tiger, and it's clear that

136
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Tiger turned down close to a billion dollars. Well, Tiger

137
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: was bought by corporations. Tiger is worth a billion dollars

138
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: potentially right now. Tiger has and listen, I say it

139
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: all the time. The most powerful thing you can ever

140
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: say in business, and you could argue life, but definitely

141
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: in business is no, it increases your value. What did

142
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: DJ say originally no when they offered him sixty million dollars,

143
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: Well he ended up quadrupling that, maybe not that, but

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: three exing that to exing that. He got more. When

145
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: you make someone chase you in business, you get more cash.

146
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: And Tiger just does need the money he has stupid amount. Well,

147
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Jordan and Rory are also two guys worth hundreds of

148
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, and there was a report last week

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: that they turned down astronomical offers because if DJ, who

150
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: I respect DJs won twenty four times on Toris, won

151
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: multiple majors. He's easily one of the best players of

152
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of decades not named Tiger Phil and

153
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: you could argue he's every bit the equal of Rory

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: or Jordan. I know those guys have a couple more majors,

155
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: but when DJ was on, he could easily beat those guys.

156
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: We all acknowledge that, but he's not the personality or

157
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the draw that those guys would be. So if DJ

158
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: is worth a hundred and fifty, what are Rory and

159
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Jordan worth four hundred? Because to me, Bryson, when I

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: see that he's potentially worth two hundred, he's a needle mover.

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: And if Bryson d Shambo commits to live, whether it's

162
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: this year or next year, that is a fucking body

163
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: blow to the PGA Tour because they only have so

164
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: many needle movers and Bryson is easily one of them. Now,

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: they're lucky that Rory and Jordan's are very loyal to

166
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: them and don't want to leave. But eventually, here's what

167
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: I would under if I'm the PGA Tour. They have

168
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: more money than us, and usually when someone has more

169
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,359
Speaker 1: money than you, they can beat you in a competition

170
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to business because they can pay more

171
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: for your employees, they can pay more for stuff. Here's

172
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: the other thing that live brings to the table. They

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: don't work as much. They play three day tournaments. They

174
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: aren't gonna have as many tournaments of the PGA Tour. Listen,

175
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm a golf fanatic. I love watching Riviera. I love

176
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: watching the Arnold Palmer, I love watching a lot bay Hill.

177
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Here's the reality most people don't. The majority of human

178
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: beings watch maybe the players and the majors, and here's

179
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: the reality of live. These guys more than likely are

180
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: going to be able to continue to play in the majors.

181
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: So if you can make fifty a D two hundred

182
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: million dollars. I also read today on social media that

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: the caddies who pays for the caddies when they travel

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: around either themselves or they have an arrangement with the player,

185
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: they have to compensate it on their own or the

186
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: player has to take care of them. On the pag

187
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: a tour, you pays for the caddies expenses, pays for

188
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: their food, pays for their lodging, plays for their travel,

189
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: and live live. The caddies don't pay anything, and they're

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: getting more money. When I see the guy left Golf Channel,

191
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: someone leaves this, of course they do. They're offering triple

192
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: the amount of money every decision we make in life.

193
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: And I've said forever you should never make a decision

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: strictly based on money when it's not that big of

195
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: a difference. If you make a hundred fifty grand and

196
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: another company offers you a hundred and eighty grand, Well,

197
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: if you love the company you work for, you like

198
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: the people you work for, you like your responsibilities, and

199
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: you have to move, it doesn't pencil. But if you

200
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: make a hundred fifty grand and you love the place

201
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: you work, and someone comes in with an offer of

202
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars, you would be doing your family

203
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: a disservice to not only seriously consider it more likely

204
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: to take the job. There is a reason in football

205
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: most coaches leave being a coordinator in great spots, whether

206
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: it's at Alabama, whether it's for Belichick, whether or two ever,

207
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: to become a head coach, because as a coordinator, you

208
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: make two million dollars. The moment you become a head

209
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: coach usually makes six or seven. You can't pass up

210
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: that type money. Now, I have no problem with anyone

211
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: taking the money, and I have no problem with anyone

212
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: taking turning it down. But here's the simple reality. As

213
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: this cash flows, and it is flowing, and unlike a

214
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: lot of businesses that get funded by venture capitalists or

215
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: get funded by one rich guy, eventually the faucet gets

216
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: turned off. Because they go, we are not getting the

217
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: r o I on our investment. You know who doesn't

218
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: give one ship right now about the r o I.

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: And I hear a lot of like the people saying,

220
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: well eventually they will Well maybe eventually they won't care

221
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: because they have an endless supply of cash. So for

222
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future, let's just say the next five years,

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: they won't think for one second how many people watch

224
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel, how many people care about this event?

225
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: As long as it's working, as long as they are

226
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: moving the needle, and as long as they are getting players,

227
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: and as these payments are being paid out. Let alone

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: the lump sums. But the tournaments when a random guy

229
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: wins two million dollars and I'm a great player and

230
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: I get thirty and someone and the PGA Tour pays

231
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: me seventy five people are going to continue to leave.

232
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: And if Bryson leaves, the PGA Tour will be rattled

233
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: because they need that guy. And I'm telling you, I

234
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: think he's gonna leave, and so do most people. And

235
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: when we look at Phil Mickelson, he's fifty one years old.

236
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: He clearly I give him some credit on he did

237
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: an interview with s I, and he talked openly about gambling. Now,

238
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: obviously we're sponsored by gambling. Here on the volume I've

239
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: been gambling, he had a quote in there that I

240
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: thought was very relatable to myself. I've been gambling as

241
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: long as I can remember. I relate to that. I

242
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: have been gambling as long as I can remember. I

243
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: don't remember when I was twelve years old. I started

244
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: gambling when I was fifteen or sixteen. We used to

245
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: sneak into a casino. I was a golfer, used to

246
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: gamble in the golf course. I'm thirty seven years old.

247
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I've been gambling over half my life, and I've been

248
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: in positions where I've gambled too much and I've lost money.

249
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: I've also made in positions where I won some money.

250
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: I love the gamble, so do Phil, so do most

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: people I associate with. I think there's a chance, now

252
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I would always stop myself because I didn't

253
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: have an unlimited ount of money. So if I lost

254
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: ten grand I couldn't. I'd be in some trouble. I

255
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: might not be able to pay a mortgage, I might

256
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: not be able to pay some bills. Phil could lose

257
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: millions upon millions of dollars, and it was reported that

258
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson lost forty million dollars. Well, once I read

259
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: some of his quotes in the SI article, I think

260
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: he's lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Now. Luckily, Phil

261
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Mickelson is worth seven eight hundred million dollars and losing

262
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars, like he said, is reckless and embarrassing.

263
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: It didn't ruin his life, and didn't ruin his family's life,

264
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: and didn't ruin uh, it didn't bankrupt him. He was lucky,

265
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: but he had a problem. Listen, I think it's easy

266
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: to kind of get on the line because Alpha's aggressive

267
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: people like I'm not trying to compare myself to Phil Mickelson,

268
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: but I love the juice of gambling. I don't even

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: love the juice like, I don't gamble to make money.

270
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I work to make money. I gamble for entertainment. I

271
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: gamble for fun. It gets me going, just like a

272
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of people that I know in my life. Most

273
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: people I know are big gamblers. Why Because it's the juice,

274
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: it's the fun of it all. And I've never lost

275
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: amount of money that crippled me. Clearly, Phil, I don't

276
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: care if you're worth five hundred million dollars, you lose

277
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. And again I'm just guessing this,

278
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: but the way he's talking forty million dollars when you're

279
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: worth eight hundred whatever, that's is that reckless? Yeah, it's

280
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. Money is all relative, Like

281
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: I think he needs this money. So when you see

282
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: they're paying him two hundred million dollars first and foremost

283
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: at fifty one years old, how could Phil Mickelson, even

284
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: if he had never blown any money, turned down two

285
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Now you can say for his reputation

286
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: with who? The internet like? Who? On? My question is this?

287
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: The Saudis do shady ship, as do a lot of countries. Right,

288
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: we're balls deep in China. They do horrendous ship. We're

289
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: in business with them all. So the Saudis are offering

290
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: a ton of money, and if he turns it down,

291
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: he gets an applause from who Twitter? The media? He

292
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: takes it? Who really is that mad at him? Like,

293
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: if he needs the money, he takes the money. That's

294
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: the reason we all eventually do things for money. That's

295
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: the way the world works, that's the way America works. Capitalism.

296
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Now you can say, is it the right move legacy

297
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: his reputation. Yeah, that's all fair. But I think, and

298
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I've been saying over and over and over again, if

299
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: you want to justify your move instead of bullshitting all

300
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: these comments that Phil kind of put in a statement

301
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: or the DJ talked about, just tweet the number. If

302
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: I was Dustin Johnson, I'd say, listen, resigning from the tour,

303
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: all the other fluff I'm talking about. Guys, they gave

304
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: me a hundred and fifty million dollars. If you were

305
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: sitting in my shoes, you would have taken it too.

306
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: And if we all didn't pretend to be something we're not,

307
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: would agree with him. Phil Mickelson. They gave me two

308
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. I don't have quite the money Tiger does.

309
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I didn't have, whether it's the security whatever, to turn

310
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: down eight hundred million dollars like Tiger Woods, I didn't.

311
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: I can respect Jordan and Rory for turned it down,

312
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: but I I didn't. I couldn't. If I'm Taylor Gooch.

313
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: They gave me forty million dollars Kevin Nod they gave

314
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: me thirty five million dollars. That is relatable, not because

315
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: we have that much money or ever will have that

316
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: much money, because if we were in their shoes, we

317
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: would do the same thing. And the p g A

318
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: Tour does will never ever have the ability to give

319
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: them that money the way they're set up as a

320
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: charity five oh one seed, that's never gonna happen. I

321
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: think sometimes the problem with golf as someone who's just

322
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm all in on football and golf. In football, we open,

323
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: we talk about money, we celebrate big contracts, we argue

324
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: big contracts, we talk about the cash, how much coaches

325
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: are making, how much the start quarterbacks are making. It's

326
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: all about the money. In golf, we love to be like,

327
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: well they're playing for the Wanna maker. Well they're playing

328
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: for the lakes. No, they're literally playing for fucking cold

329
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: hard cash for money, and until you make enough, you're

330
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: never secure because on the PGA Tour you can lose

331
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: your card, you can lose your status, and the PGA

332
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: Tour golf is always what's weird is golf to the

333
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: number one gambling sport. Anyone that plays golf, you're always

334
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 1: gambling the buddy, whether it's a dollar where there's five

335
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: dollars with five dollars, whether it's for dinner, get they

336
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: never we never feel comfortable talking about it. It's a

337
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: lot like college football, where's like, hey, guys, you're paying

338
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: the players. You've been playing the players for fifty years.

339
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: No one gives a ship. We just want to watch

340
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: college football, college basketball. We don't care. But they're always

341
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of beat around the bush. No different with golf.

342
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: Jim Nance never wants to talk about the money on

343
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: the CBS, like this put is for eight hundred grant.

344
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: That is interesting, and I'll give if Live embraces that

345
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: the money that is fascinating. The media will call them scumbags,

346
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: they'll resent it. They resent business. Most humans were fascinated

347
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: by it, were drawn do it. And the PGA Tours

348
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: in this tough spot where they can't pay people to

349
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: show up. That's against the rules of their business model.

350
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Now they can do this fake p I P. They

351
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: gave out forty million dollars. There's a chance that Sergio

352
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: Garcia was literally just paid forty million dollars to go

353
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: to Live. How is the PGA Tour big picture gonna

354
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: compete if Live doesn't go away, because if they don't

355
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: go away, the PGA tours in major trouble. I'll promise you.

356
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: Just because it's natural, people are gonna gravitate. Ultimately, DJ

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: is a great example. He couldn't turn down the money,

358
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: and he originally said the most powerful thing you can say, No,

359
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm good, guys, I'm gonna stay with the PGA tour.

360
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm good. And then they said, what's your number? Bro?

361
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: And then he threw something out. Let's just say it

362
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: happened that way, and he threw out a number like

363
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: any of us would. What would you want if you

364
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: could get it? And you throw out a number, you

365
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: write it on a piece of paper, you hand it

366
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: to the shark, and then he says, no problem, in

367
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: done deal. A lot of people are okay, well I'm

368
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: in then, right. Who would not take more money to

369
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: work less, spend more time with your family? Now, I'm

370
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: a PGA tour aficionado. I love the PGA Tour, but

371
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: most people don't. It's not like the majors are huge

372
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: and tigers big. But there's a reason golf, like ultimately,

373
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: the Byron Nelson or bay Hill just isn't that interesting

374
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: to a large percentage of people. They'll get one point

375
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: five or two million people to watch, But for the

376
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: most part the fields are very hit or miss. My

377
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: favorite tournament of the year is Pebble Beach, but now

378
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: because the sadis pay people to go, the Pebble Beach

379
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: field is terrible. The only big name there is really

380
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Jordan's because he's an a T and T guy. If

381
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Jordan was sponsored by Nike or Aquafina, he would probably

382
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: be in Saddi even if he wasn't joining the live

383
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: they would pay him so much money to go to

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: that tournament. Instead, he's at a T and T Pebble Beach.

385
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, look who compete competitive of

386
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: Pebble Beach. It's like Tom Hogan Verse Burger vers Jordan's speech.

387
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: The top guys aren't walking through that door anymore. Riv

388
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: is somewhat unique, but this Tiger's tournament. But I still

389
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I I'm telling you, beside the majors and the players,

390
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's not as big, I think as some

391
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: of the true die hard die hearts. And to be

392
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: a huge business in to print cash, you need to

393
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: get more casual fans, and it's gonna be hard as

394
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: it's splinters. And I think, say what you want about

395
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: Greg Norman eaglemaniac. If you saw the picture Big penis Uh,

396
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: he's he's onto something and the only reason he has

397
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a chance is because he's funded shady people with unlimited

398
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: amount of money and they're just not gonna go away

399
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: like Taylor, which is not gonna be the first. Like

400
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: if you told me there are some other big names

401
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: between twenty five and their early thirties and the next

402
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: twelve months that become I would bet ten thousand dollars

403
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: right now beside Bryson Ricky they get another Holy sh it,

404
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: this guy is leaving the PGA Tour in the next year.

405
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: I bet I wouldn't even hesitate putting ten thousand dollars

406
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: on the table, and you could argue I'd feel pretty

407
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: good about multiple names. Now this might I'm not saying

408
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: it's rom or Jordan, but if you tell me Joaukee, Neman,

409
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Victor Hovlin, I'm just throwing out some random names, like

410
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna get top twenty five players because that's what

411
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: the pg tour. You have to earn all your money

412
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: as a player. Why wouldn't you go to a tour

413
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: where you just get it handed to you. It's just

414
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: it's basic human nature. Even if you are These guys

415
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: are all high achieving, high workers. It's just basic math.

416
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 1: It really is. Now how good the products gonna be?

417
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what the incentive for DJ to stay good.

418
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you obviously want to stay good

419
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: because you still want to win the majors. But things change,

420
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying the PGA tour is completely screwed

421
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: and gonna go away, but if you told me we

422
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: look back in five ten years and it splintered it

423
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: and it was never the same, like I could I

424
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: could see that happening if the Sadi's never tap out,

425
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: and I don't see any desire for them to tap

426
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: out given the money. So this is Tiger left today

427
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: and told said he wasn't gonna play in the U

428
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: s Open, and it felt like an afterthought. It really did.

429
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: And I can't wait, I repeat, can't wait to see

430
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Phil at the US Open. I mean that you talk

431
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: about a press conference, it's going to be an absolute circus.

432
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, sign me up for that. Phil has got

433
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: the beard. Phil has got a little midlife crisis. He

434
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: looks like he's got He's got the leather jacket going.

435
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's go through some of the names. DJ's team name

436
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: is four Aces. Don't hate it, uh, Kevin Nah's name

437
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: is iron Heads. That's terrible. Louise Stinger not bad, Martin

438
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Khimer cliques, no clue what that means. Peter you line?

439
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: How is he a captain the Crushers fills the high Flyers.

440
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I think my favorite, though, because it feels like a

441
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: movie name is Sergio's team is called the Fireballs. I

442
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: think a lot of people have been making fun of

443
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: the Fireballs. I'm not gonna lie, don't totally hate it.

444
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: I hope eventually we can institute some people wearing the

445
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: clothing with this, you know, plastered all over them, which

446
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: I think is inevitable. But I'm telling you as someone

447
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: who questioned this, I wouldn't say I danced on the grave,

448
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: but I thought it was over. I've completely changed my tune.

449
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: I think this is going to uh have major, major

450
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: ramifications for years to come. If the Sadis don't back out,

451
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: and I listen, why would they? I mean, what if

452
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: it works? The PGA tour is in full swing and

453

Speaker 1: podcast links and locks Action Network. Sobel Uh, you're a

492
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: busy man. What's up, bro, John? I walked away from

493
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: my phone for four minutes earlier today and I missed

494
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: an entire news cycle. I mean serious. It's like golf.

495
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: People think golf is a slow moving sport just followed

496
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: on social media on Monday or Tuesday. The thing moves

497
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: faster than anything. Right now, Well, before we dive into leave,

498
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: let's let's start with a couple of headliners. We now

499
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: know that Phil Mickelson will play in the US Open,

500
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: and you know, the guy that always got the best

501
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: of them, Eldrick Tiger Woods is now out of the

502
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: U s Open. Your thoughts, Yeah, so we're saying a

503
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: month ago the PJ Championship, Man, a year ago, you

504
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: never would have thought that Phil would be out in

505
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: Tiger would be And then a month ago you never

506
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: thought Tiger would be out for the US Open and

507
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: Phil would be in. Like I said, things are changing

508
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: very very quickly in the world of golf. Look, I

509
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: hope Tiger Um gets healthy and I hope he can

510
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: go play the Open Championship because, as I've been saying

511
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: for a few months. I've always believe that that's the

512
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: one he's got, uh circle on his calendar that he

513
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: thinks he can go to St. Andrews and compete, maybe

514
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: even contend for that event. So hopefully he gets healthy.

515
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: Not a huge surprise that Tiger's not playing at Brookline,

516
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: the fact that Phil is coming back, I mean, it's

517
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: it's very interesting to me. Skip the Masters, skip the

518
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: PGA Championship where he had a chance to tell everybody

519
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: all about his win from last year, but he will

520
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: go play the US Open XT I mean left, it's hypothetical.

521
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: He's fifty one years old, he hasn't played competitive golf

522
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: down in four or five months. Can you imagine Phil

523
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: Mickelson going to Brookline next next week and winning the

524
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: US Open, the one that's always eluded him, and then

525
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: going back to live golf, go and play play plays

526
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: an event in Portland two weeks playing its celebrates US

527
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Open victory and the career Grand Slam. The world is

528
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: weird right now, man, I mean, is it safe to say.

529
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't think Tiger is that much of a shock

530
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: how much physically he was struggling. Uh So that's not

531
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: that crazy. But Phil who I don't know if you

532
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: saw he did an interview with like s I and

533
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: he talked about how he needed time away, but he

534
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: is not unlike we'll dive into DJ and McDowell and

535
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: I and uh, I guess McDowell didn't, but no, did

536
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: resign from the PGA tour, And you can help us

537
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: better understand that philis claim. I'm not resigning from the

538
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. Obviously his lifetime status which is what like

539
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: fifteen years and twenty plus wins on tour, so he

540
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: he has exempt whenever he wants to play. Uh, I

541
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: guess just your thoughts on Phil and some of his

542
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: quotes and now coming back, I mean, are you surprised? Uh?

543
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: What's your take on Phil Mickelson as of the information

544
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: we have today. Yeah, none of it should be a surprise. Look,

545
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: we've known for months that this was going to happen

546
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: at some point. Maybe it's a little bit of a

547
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: surprise that the list for Live Golf's first event came

548
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: out last week and Phil's name wasn't on it, and

549
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: we thought, oh, maybe he's not a change of heart.

550
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it didn't work out. My guess is after DJ

551
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: signed for reported hundred and fifty million film might have

552
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: made fifty million dollars more himself just by waiting, by

553
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: sitting on his hands and saying, I don't know, I'll

554
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: think about it. We'll see what's gonna happen. I'm guessing

555
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: the folks that run live Golf at some point got

556
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: a little warriors that fine, you know what, We'll give

557
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: you whatever you want, come on over to London. We

558
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: need you to play in this thing. This was always

559
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: the plan, and so I'm guessing that Phil did pretty

560
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: well for himself just sort of waiting and waiting and waiting.

561
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: That said, the fact that some of these guys are

562
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: resigning from the PGA Tour, from what I understand, what

563
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: does that mean? What does that mean? So? Jamnahan, the

564
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: commissioner from the PGA Tour, has been saying from say,

565
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: if you go play live golf, we are going to

566
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: take disciplinary act against you. Now, what is that disciplinary action?

567
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: We have no idea because I don't think the tour

568
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: has any idea because the lawyers are going through everything

569
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what disciplinary action you can

570
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: take against the player who decided to go play another tour.

571
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what it can be. It can be

572
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: a suspension, it can be a fine, it can be

573
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: a banishment. I have no idea what it can be,

574
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: but they haven't announced that. The speculation though, is that

575
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: if the PGA Tour suspended a player who is still

576
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: a member of that tour, that player, if qualified Dustin

577
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: Johnson is a great example for the major championships, then

578
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: couldn't go play the majors because they uphold those suspensions

579
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: from the PGA Tour. But if you resigned from the

580
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: PGA Tour, well they can't enforced disciplinary action against you.

581
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: And so if Dustin Johnson or other players resigned from

582
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, well there's no suspension. They can then

583
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: go play the major championships. It's all a big catch

584
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: twenty two. But but I do understand kind of where

585
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: they're going with it right now. So when when Kevin

586
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: non DJ say they resigned, it's safe to say they

587
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: plan on playing the four majors moving forward, right I

588
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: would think so, And I would think the four Majors

589
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: are planning on having them. I have seen some thought

590
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: as to, you know, hey, they should you know, the

591
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: U S g A and the RNA. They should ban

592
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: these guys and not let them play the majors. I

593
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: don't see why they would necessarily have a dog in

594
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: the hunt. They're not related to the PJ Tour. Sure

595
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: there's a partnership there, and sure there's you know, things

596
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: they work on together. It's a sanction to bed. But

597
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't see why the U s G would necessarily

598
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: care if a player who's twenty three in the world

599
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: is playing the PGA Tour or Live Golf, they say, well,

600
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: you're qualified for our event, you're allowed to come in.

601
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, it would be a really bad look

602
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: for either of those opens to say to a player

603
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: you went to live golf, you can't play. That's what

604
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: it's all about. I mean, Roy mclboy said, it's the

605
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: most democratic golf tournament in the world. If you're good enough,

606
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: you qualify, you get in. For them to say, oh,

607
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: you can't do it, it essentially makes it the US

608
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Open closed instead of the US Open. Well, we talked

609
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: last week on Tuesday morning and then Tuesday afternoon. You know,

610
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Phil is a big story because of his name, but

611
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: we all knew he was inevitably going here. DJ said

612
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm out. And then on Tuesday afternoon a week ago,

613
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: DJ said I'm in. And you've now had a week

614
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: covering this talking to people about it. Obviously, the money

615
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: is kind of out there million he talked this morning.

616
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Just tell me your reaction to DJ announcing he's in,

617
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: and just over the week, what you've learned about the

618
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: situation with him Specifically, the sense that I've gotten is

619
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: that three days before the announcement was made last week,

620
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson was not part of this, that he had

621
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: said three months earlier, Hey it's not for me. I'm

622
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: as stick with p GA tur And then they just

623
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: kept throwing money at him, and he kept getting a

624
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: little bit more interested, and he kept thinking about, Hey,

625
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: I've got a young family at home, and I don't

626
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: necessarily need to go play every single week on PG

627
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: eight tour. Look, these guys are gonna play eight events,

628
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: their three round events. It's twenty four days out of

629
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: the year. They're gonna have three hundred and forty days

630
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: off and get paid maybe ten times fifteen times more

631
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: than they were making already. It's other that if you

632
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: can get over the ethical and moral decisions of it,

633
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: which granted that's a major part of it, and there

634
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: is sports watching going on. I I just wrote another

635
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: story about it, sort of explaining kind of what this

636
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: all means and what these players are doing. They're essentially

637
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: complicit in trying to change the messaging from the Saudi

638
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Arabian government from hey, it's a murderous regime that has

639
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: a nefarious human rights record too. Oh, they give opportunities

640
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: to some of the world's best golfers and let me

641
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: go play golf over there. It's it's a changing world,

642
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: and they're they're complicit in, you know, letting Saudi Arabia

643
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: change that opinion of what they are. But look, everybody's

644
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: gotta and I get it. I mean, if someone comes

645
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: to you and they say, hey, we want you to

646
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: work for some really bad people, but you're gonna work

647
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: three times less, you get paid three times more, you say,

648
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: all right, well I can I can sort of make

649
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: do with that. You know, maybe it's hey, I won't

650
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: do it for three times more. How about ten times more? Uh,

651
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: there's still they're bad people. I don't know if I

652
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: want to do it. How about twenty times more? You

653
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: know what, They're not that bad. I can get along

654
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: with this. At some point, everybody's got a price, does DJ.

655
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: Obviously he has twenty plus wins, and you know, you

656
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: could probably I don't know exactly, as he's been on

657
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: the tour for fifteen years. He exclaimed the day he

658
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: was Does he fall under that Phil category lifetime exemption

659
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: as a PGA Tour member, Yeah, exactly, And you're right.

660
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: I think he may have another year or two to

661
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: claim that lifetime exemption, but essentially he has, he has

662
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: the win number. Yes, it's it's It's very interesting the

663
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: fact that Phil says, no, I'm a lifetime member of

664
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. I don't want to give that up.

665
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: And Phil thinks he can fight it and win, and

666
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that he's wrong about that. I think

667
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: that Phil's probably got a good sense of what he's

668
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna do. He's got a good team of lawyers that

669
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: he's worked with for a long time, and a lot

670
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: of things. Dustin Johnson says, Hey, I'm just gonna resign

671
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: from the PGA Tour instead of trying to fight it

672
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: and use that lifetime membership. I guess DJ just doesn't care.

673
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: He just like, what do you want me to do?

674
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Go play in Greensboro later this year where there's no

675
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: event on the Lift Golf Tour, and trying to fight

676
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: it because I don't want to fight it because it

677
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't DJ know some of If if Phil fights

678
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: it and wins, then he can just piggyback off ad.

679
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: Maybe now it might be a little bit different now

680
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: that he's resigned, as opposed to staying as a member

681
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: and not resigning. I don't know where the language would

682
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: cut that off. So again, there's so much I feel bad, John.

683
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: I've been doing interviews, I've been posting shows for the

684
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: last week, let alone, you know, the last three months,

685
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: and everyone's asking these questions. I'm like, uh, maybe maybe not.

686
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: There's so much unknown here. Well as obviously the Masters,

687
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: if you win it, you get a lifetime exemption. Uh.

688
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: The the the Open, the British Open as I call it,

689
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: you get a lifetime exemption as well. You get to

690
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: play in sixty years old years old. Yeah. The US

691
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Open is not now, right, it's ten years and years

692
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: after you win. Got you? So DJ is exempt like

693
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: Phil Masters forever. Uh. The US Open, he has another

694
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: whatever five six years and he hasn't one the other two.

695
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: So Phil can play the Open until he's sixty, right,

696
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: And here's a big part of it, and it factors

697
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: in less for a DJ and a Phil, and more

698
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: for maybe a guy like Lee Westwood or Sergio Garcia.

699
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: But what happens here is that right now there are

700
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: no official World Golf Ranking points for the live golf events.

701
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: The way you get into the major championships other than

702
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: winning a PGA Tour event, other than winning a major

703
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: championship and having that exemption is being in the top

704
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: fifty of the world ranking. That's one of the easiest

705
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: ways for these elite level players to get in by

706
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: playing in the lived golf events. These guys are not

707
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: getting any World rank king points and so there's no

708
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: way to keep moving up in that ranking and staying there.

709
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: So a guy like Lee Westwood, I don't know what

710
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: Lee's rank is right now, it's probably somewhere around fifty.

711
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna start losing points. He's never won a major championship,

712
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: so he's not qualified for them already, so he's essentially

713
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: giving up on hey, I can go in a major

714
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: championship someday and saying I'm just gonna go play live

715
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: golf as opposed to a Phil or a DJ who

716
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: they should be qualified for a while. I mean, I

717
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: don't think uh DJ is gonna fall out of the

718
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: top fifty for a while. Phil's got the exemption from

719
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: winning the PGA last year for at least five years

720
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: and everything, so they're not too worried about it. You know,

721
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: obviously guys don't play in every event, but for all

722
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the big events, non majors, for the most part, you know,

723
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: of the guys that matter, do I mean, DJ naw Louis, Phil,

724
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: Sergio Gooch. I mean, these are now spots on the

725
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: PGA Tour for guys right to take advantage. I mean,

726
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: those guys are not gonna be in just the Byron

727
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: Nelson or riv and we assume, right, so aren't Aren't

728
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: There just gonna be more opportunities for younger players or

729
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: guys on the fringe to take advantage of those. Nobody

730
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: from the PGA Tour is ever going to admit this.

731
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: Nobody from Live Golf is ever going to admit this.

732
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: I think that at some point, John, this could wind

733
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: up being mutually beneficial for everybody involved. You get, essentially

734
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour gets rid of a lot of players,

735
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: not that they want to get rid of them, necessarily

736
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: gets rid of guys on the back lind of their

737
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: careers who are in their forties, who aren't necessarily major

738
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: drawing cards anymore. The players themselves, they get paid and

739
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: they get to play less golf, which is something they

740
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: all want at this stage and their careers. Louis eustas

741
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: And said today that he's always thought about retiring at

742
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: the age of forty. This gives him a chance that

743
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: essentially being semi retired and being able to go work

744
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: on his farm, which he's always wanted to do, and

745
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: then lift golf gets to showcase guys with some big

746
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: names that that's kind of what they want to do

747
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: as well. Just have some big names playing golf and

748
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: uh and and and again, altering the messaging that they're

749
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: trying to do. It could work out for everybody. The

750
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: PGA Tour gets to replace these guys, not necessarily one

751
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: for one deal, but essentially gets to replace a Mooie

752
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: use days a surgeon of Arcia Lee Westwood with the

753
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: twenty two year old stud coming out of Oklahoma stake

754
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: the Gala Davis Riley. The next group of those type guys. Obviously,

755
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people around the governing body

756
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: of the PGA Tour. Is it safe to say that

757
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: they're rattled, nervous right now, Rattled, nervous, worried, angry. Yeah,

758
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: I think you run the Gabbett of emotions, and yes,

759
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: I would say all of those things. I don't know,

760
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: just to look at that from the outside, I don't

761
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: know that the PGA Tour was fully prepared for what's

762
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: happened exactly. I think they always kind of do, Okay,

763
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: this is coming, it's on the horizon, we'll deal with it.

764
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: We'll tell players, hey, we're gonna we're gonna take disciplinary

765
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: action against you if you do this, and that should

766
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: be enough. That would be enough to keep the players

767
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: not really gonna have a mass exodus and all go

768
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: over and play this live golf thing. I think it's

769
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: hit him pretty hard. I think the last week and

770
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: a half two weeks has hit the p G A

771
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: Tour harder than they ever thought it would. I think

772
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: they that is that because of Dustin Dustin Johnson and

773
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch, those two names specifically probably had to be

774
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: the front liners. Yes, I would think maybe even less DJ.

775
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean just because DJ is again he's towards the

776
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: end of his career. We never thought DJ was gonna

777
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: be playing PGA Tour champions when he's sixty two years old.

778
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a lot of money, he's got

779
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: other interests. He's he's not gonna be playing that much.

780
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: And DJ aren't the same. Yeah, not exactly. He's not

781
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: gonna be the next hell Orman. Um. I will say

782
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: the two names that I think really scared the p

783
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: G A Tour, and again it's just from an outsiders perspective,

784
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch and Hudson Swofford. These are guys who aren't

785
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: that old, who are sort of in the primes of

786
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: their PGA Tour careers, guys who have each one already

787
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: this season, who have exemptions. They're not worried about I

788
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: might lose my card, so let me jump ship before

789
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: I lose it. These guys are good for the next

790
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: few years if they want to be. These are the

791
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: guys that I don't think they ever consider losing. They

792
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: never thought that a Taylor Gucha Hudson Swofford was gonna

793
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: go anywhere, so I think they're scared about that. They're

794
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: scared about the president now of Okay, we can lose

795
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: the guys who are forty seven years old, we can

796
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: lose the guys who don't have a card. We can't

797
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: lose the guys who are the nuts and bolts of

798
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: the PGA. Two are the guys who play weeks a year.

799
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: That's really gonna hurt them. I think if it continues

800
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: to happen, the two names, at least from my perspective,

801
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, social media and just reading everything you guys

802
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: have been writing and talking about Bryson and Ricky. Uh

803
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on those two guys. Is it inevitable that they

804
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: end up involved in this one day? Look, I'm not

805
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: saying anything is inevitable right now. The way the news

806
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: cycle is. I mean, things change in a hurry right now,

807
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: as I was saying earlier. But I would say, where

808
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: there's smoke, there's fire. And if you've heard the names,

809
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: there's probably reason that you've heard the names. Each of

810
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: those players has been at least open to the idea

811
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: of listening to live golf and hearing them out and

812
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: not automatically shutting them down and saying I will never

813
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: do that, And so I think it would be very

814
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: surprising to see saying a Rory McIlroy, who has been

815
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: adamantly against it the entire time. A Justin Thomas who

816
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: has spoken out and said NA not interested not doing that.

817
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: For Ricky Fowler, for Bryson d Shambo. Each of them

818
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: said it's an interesting opportunity. I'm going to weigh my options.

819
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: I'll see what's out there. It's not a yes, but

820
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: it's certainly not enough. Listen, we can say what we

821
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: want about Bryson. Obviously, Ricky had a good run, and

822
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: you could argue maybe it's over. And I know Bryson's

823
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, been banged up and played like ship at

824
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: the memorial. That would be a devastating loss for the

825
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: PGA tour. I mean he he's a needle mover for them.

826
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's that'd be a big deal if he

827
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: If he did a quote unquote, I resigned and I'm out,

828
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Both of those are are are

829
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: big deals. I see them as I don't know how

830
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: to rate them necessarily, but I think each of them

831
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: might be maybe even a bigger deal than Dustin Johnson.

832
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson might be a better player right now than

833
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: either of them. But you're talking about drawing cards, you're

834
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: talking about eyeballs. I mean, I've watched that countless times

835
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: over the last dozen years where Ricky Fowler walks off

836
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: the golf course, have to shoot the seventy four and

837
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: signs autographs for an hour and a half and has

838
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: kids and Puma hats and Puma shirts throwing sharpie's at

839
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: him because they love him so much. To lose a

840
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: guy like that, yeah, that's gonna hurt the brand name

841
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: and marketability of the PGA Tour. It shows you this

842
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a win for live. Because

843
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: we're fifteen twenty minutes in, we haven't even mentioned the

844
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: PGA Tournament this week, and I mean that's that shows you, man.

845
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean, and like you wrote that, there aren't nobody's

846
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: playing in this thing. It's pretty top heavy that there

847
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: are some big names. We haven't even mentioned it, but

848
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: let's mention it now. Who do you like? Yeah, very

849
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: top of the field. And so I wonder here's a

850
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: little conspiracy for you. I wonder if the PGA Tour

851
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: went to the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin

852
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: Thomas uh, Sam burns Uh went to these guys Cameron

853
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Smith and said, hey, there's another event going on this week.

854
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: We need to deflect some of the attention away from

855
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: Live Golf. The best way for us to deflect that

856
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: attention is having some big names playing our event. We

857
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: need you. I wonder if they told them that you

858
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: have to come play because look, we're gonna get crushed

859
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: if we have a worse field then Live Golf during

860
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: their first event. And so you look at and say, okay,

861
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: those five of the top ten players are playing this week. Hey,

862
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: it's a great field. It's nine of the top and

863
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: then it's only twelve of the top fifty. I mean,

864
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: the drop off is dramatic, and so this is not

865
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: a deep field whatsoever. If you're looking at the top

866
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: of the board and you're trying to pick a guy,

867
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: Rory probably needs the win more so than anybody else

868
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: in the top ten. The other guys have all one

869
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: and they've won pretty recently. Rory won this event three

870
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: years ago. Granted a completely different golf course, but you

871
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: talk about trying to gain some momentum going into a

872
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: major championship. Also, maybe a little karma player for Rory's

873
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: been so outspoken against live golf that maybe he wants

874
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: to sort of show show off a little bit and say, hey,

875
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: let me take the spotlight away from that another event

876
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: that's going on. So if I've got to pick one

877
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: of these guys, it's rory. But based on the prices

878
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: they're so short, he feels it's not deep. I'm not

879
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: chasing anybody in the marketplace. Well, I know that you

880
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: picked Rose another name and fan Delise fifty two one

881
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: and Tagala, who played pretty well last week. I mean,

882
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: the guy's got game, and even you wrote and it's

883
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it, like, I think him and

884
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: Davis Riley are similar. They're gonna win at a price point.

885
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: It's like, damn, you could have got this guy at

886
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: fifty to one. You could have got this guy at

887
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: forty to one. It feels inevitable for both guys, right, Yeah,

888
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: I think so. I like those guys essentially this strategy

889
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: this week. And you're write, my favorite out right was

890
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: Justin Rose. It's not me saying I love Justin Rose.

891
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: I think he's the best player. He's gonna win this week. Now,

892
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: it's more I don't necessarily like playing anybody at seven

893
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: to one, eight to one, These guys who are super Simmie, Yeah,

894
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: they're looking ahead to a major championship next week. Who

895
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: knows how motivated there they are. And so I just

896
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: want to take a shot at some guys who are

897
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: in that fifty to one to seventy to one range.

898
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: Take take two, three, four or five guys and at

899
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: least have a chance of Hey, I can win with

900
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: a bigger price of bigger number as opposed to you know,

901
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: such a small payout on a guy who's eight to

902
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: one instead. I know, I like it really quick, before

903
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: I get you, before I get you out of here.

904
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: Do you think, what what's your expectation this weekend from

905
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: the live stuff? Like obviously it's gonna be on YouTube,

906
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna be some moments that probably go viral or whatever.

907
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, do you think they probably put some social

908
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: media influencers on the payroll? I mean, what, what what's

909
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: your expectation for the next come Sunday? Like what happened

910
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: over a couple of days. So far, the pr for

911
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: this thing, the social media presence for this thing has

912
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: been almost non existent. And so what it tells me

913
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: is that this ain't about us. It's just not. This

914
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: is not about hey, let's have a fun entertainment vehicle

915
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: that provides an alternative for the fans. This is not

916
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: about the fans. Now. If you want to put on

917
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: YouTube TV on Thursday morning and watch the live event Friday,

918
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: Thursday through Saturday, I believe, Oh it's Thursday through Saturdays,

919
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: so they're not even going Sunday. Yeah, so you want

920
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: to put on the live golf of band, it's gonna

921
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: be a shotgun. You want to watch it? I canna

922
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: say no, They'll let you do it. But quite frankly,

923
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't get a sense that they care necessarily if

924
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: they have a million views or a hundred views. It

925
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't matter to them. This is about causing a disruption.

926
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: This is about changing the messaging for their government. It's

927
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: not about hey, let's create something for the fans out there.

928
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: Let's o the game. That's that's the last thing on

929
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: their priority list right now. I saw that they pulled

930
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: people and came up with people like the consumer wants

931
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,959
Speaker 1: a shotgun start. What's what's your take on the shotgun? Okay,

932
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: we sitting here and talk about betting every single week

933
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: here on the pod John. A shotgun start might be

934
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: the worst idea for betting. Where where all sports going

935
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 1: right now? What's the biggest thing going on in all sports?

936
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: Odds betting odds, we can put some money on this stuff.

937
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: We can have a personal investment while we watch. Okay,

938
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: what does the liv Golf Tour do? Let's have a

939
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: shotgun start where it's terrible for Ben, you can't watch

940
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: everything going on at the same time. Things are gonna

941
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: flip too quickly. It's completely anti gambling. Which again, if

942
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: you're trying to draw the fans, you're trying to get eyeballs,

943
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to get people to watch, that's the last

944
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: thing you want to do. So again, it just tells

945
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: me they don't care. That they just don't care. What

946
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: isn't the drama of winning a golf tournament that last day,

947
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: the setup of where they're staggered on the holes, like

948
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: this guy can this guy's leading, but he's on whole fifteen.

949
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: The leaders only on whole nine. He's still like as

950
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: part of the drama of a Sunday of golf and

951
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: to win, of course, I mean, maybe it'll be fun

952
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, bouncing around two different holes. Hey,

953
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: they all have two holes left, and he's on thirteen

954
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: and he's on seven, and they each are tied to

955
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: the lead. I don't know, maybe that will be fun.

956
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't mind a shotguns start to the first round.

957
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, let's get them all out there, get

958
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: him playing quick. That's cool. But then repair and and

959
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: having a regular event afterwards. I mean, look, they're trying stuff.

960
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: It's fine, but again, it just doesn't seem like it

961
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: would fit the needs of the consumer right now. And uh,

962
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: which just tells me consumers, it's about them, it's not

963
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: about us. Well, so I know where we can find

964
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: your Thursday through Saturday in front of your computer watching

965
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: live golf on YouTube, and uh uh, enjoy the weekend,

966
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,880

00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: you'll you film it us in press conference. Can't wait

968
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: next week. I mean, I I firmly believe that everything

969
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: in golf will have changed by the time we talked

970
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: next week. We just talked for what minutes? And I

971
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: can't wait to go on Twitter and see, like, you know,

972
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: who's defected and what leagues are popping up. Now, we'll

973
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: take it easy, man, have a good week. And and

974
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: enjoy the lift. Thanks see you. Okay, let's go go

975
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: low mail bag at go low pod is the Instagram.

976
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put up some some consistent content up

977
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: there of me bullshitting about golf and some other posts.

978
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: So go follow that on Instagram at go low pod.

979
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: Question for the pod. My name is Vincent out of

980
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: San Diego, Love San Diego. I'm a new golf better

Speaker 1: and have made some cash following your recent picks. Thanks

982
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: for that. You're welcome, buddy. Just wondering what you're right

983
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: who you're writing for this weekend's RBC Canadian Open. Are

984
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: you gonna focus on the top pack or try to

985
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: find some towards the middle and say Tony Finale or

986
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: someone like that. Two guys I really like this week.

987
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bet any of the I'm not betting

988
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: Cam Smith, Scheffler, Rory, any of the guys that are

989
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: like seven to one, eight to one, eleven to one.

990
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: Tony Finell is the last guy that I would I

991
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: would take and or I mean, the the highest odds

992
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: fan duel has them twenty five to one. Don't hate that.

993
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: The other guy, I think he's forty eight to one

994
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: is uh sehith Tha Gala, And I just think this guy,

995
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: him and Davis Riley to me are gonna win, and

996
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: when they win, you'll have got them at one fifty

997
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: two one. So I've benna put maybe fifty bucks on

998
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: each one of those guys. Tony Finell Fagala would be

999
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:45,479
Speaker 1: my two picks. John Nice spot Why all the fuss

1000
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: about the golfers gonna live when most casual golf fans

1001
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: don't care about non majors. Correct me if I'm wrong, Phil,

1002
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: Louis d J and others are still gonna be teeing

1003
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: it up at the major's regardless of the penalties the

1004
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: tour and poses. Correct. All these guys, Sergio Non, Uh,

1005
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: Phil DJ, uh, Louis Westwood are They're gonna be at

1006
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: the US Open. They will be. All of them are

1007
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna be at the US Open, every single one of

1008
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: the big names. Maybe I'm pretty sure Lee Westwood's in,

1009
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: but definitely Na, Louis DJ for sure, Phil for sure.

1010
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: They're going to the US Open, Gooch US Open. The

1011
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: one thing bigger than the tour, much bigger as far

1012
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, is the majors. Tiger doesn't give a

1013
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: shit about seventy plus non major wins. I think he

1014
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: threw out those trophies or lost them in a divorce settlement,

1015
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: and casual golf fans don't care about them either. It's

1016
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: the majors and as long as the live golfers can

1017
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: still tee it up at those tournaments which to find legacies.

1018
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they give two ships about the tour.

1019
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: Casual golf fan, but really enjoy your golf pad. I agree,

1020
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, the more money these guys make

1021
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: on live, why do they care about the Byron Nelson

1022
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: or even the Memorial or you know, the Arnold Palmer

1023
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: or the Century or the Barracuda or the Safe Way Open.

1024
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: They do not, So I'm with you if they're able

1025
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: to play in the majors, and they're going to be now.

1026
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: There is an element of official World Golf rankings. The

1027
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: live is not officially World Golf ranking, so guys like

1028
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Na, for example, will lose points as he plays,

1029
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: even though he technically resigned. Like Phil Mickelson, Is has

1030
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: a lifetime exemption. He has twenty plus wins and he's

1031
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: been on the tour fifteen years. So does DJ Technically

1032
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: I was talking about Sobril is he true fifteen years?

1033
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: But he has twenty four wins and DJs won the

1034
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: US Open and that is a ten year exemplion. But

1035
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: he's a Master's champion, so he can play the Masters

1036
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: until he dies. The question is simple, is Tiger worth

1037
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: one billy for your golf league? I can make an

1038
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: easy case for yes, if he only plays three or

1039
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: four tournaments. Full disclosure, I have done no research what

1040
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: they're buying for one billion. My jaw dropped when I

1041
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: saw it, and it shouldn't have. Uh. Yes, he would

1042
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: be worth if he took a cart and played live,

1043
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: he would be worth a billion dollars to them without.

1044
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: If Bryson d Jambo is worth two d Fiel's worth

1045
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: two hundred, feels probably worth a little more. I'd say

1046
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: both those guys are probably worth a little more Tiger's worth.

1047
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: There is no amount of money if Tiger is playing

1048
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: you can pay him and not feel good about your investment.

1049
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, Tiger is worth an astronomical amount of money

1050
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Tony Fene Alexander are the two most

1051
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: overrated players on tour. To settle a bet between friends,

1052
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: who do you think is the most long term upside

1053
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: better career. Would love to hear your take on the podcast.

1054
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: I would say that Xander is a better player than

1055
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: Tony Finale. If I was gonna bet on one the

1056
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: next ten years, and I don't think Tony's going away,

1057
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: I would bet on Zander over Tony Finale. Now, I'm

1058
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: with you. I think both have a hype train that's

1059
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: greater than there. There some but I mean pretty sure

1060
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: Xander won the Tour Championship Xander. Xander is a better

1061
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: player in Tony Final. Now we're talking about the best

1062
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: of the best, so it's not like that wide of

1063
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: a gap. But I think it's fair to say that

1064
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,959
Speaker 1: Zander this might be I wouldn't say controversial. I would

1065
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: bet on Zander to win a major or two. Tony

1066
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't win very often. Not that Xander wins a lot,

1067
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: but Xander's gonna win a major. I put I'd put

1068
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: ten grand on that right now, and honestly, Tony easily could.

1069
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: But I would bet on Zander to win a major.

1070
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: It said that Lived Golf offered Tiger one billion dollars

1071
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: nowhere compared to his awe career earnings as a golfer,

1072
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: not counting sponsorships. If he was, the move will be

1073
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: considered treason after he all he has given golf. Well, Tiger,

1074
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: if Tiger would would have gone to live the PGA Tour,

1075
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: I would say it would be really fucked because if

1076
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: Tiger went, a lot of people would follow, period point blank.

1077
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if they can barely walk, and he's old.

1078
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: If Tiger went, guys would follow, and it would make

1079
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: it easier because Tiger would take all the heat, right,

1080
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Tiger is the most famous guy in the

1081
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: history of golf by a mile. So like the reason

1082
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: Phil took all this heat is he was the most

1083
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: famous Guy's the reason he takes a lot more heat

1084
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 1: than DJ. He's just way more accomplished, way more famous,

1085
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: way more money, way more He's been famous for way longer,

1086
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: and Tiger is fifty x Phil, hundred x Phil. But

1087
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: Tiger is not gonna go. I'll give Tiger credit, like

1088
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: he he turned out a billion. Now it's easier turned

1089
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: down a billion when you probably already got a billion.

1090
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: But he's been pretty adamant, Like the PGA Tour meant

1091
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: a lot to him. Now he made the PGA tour

1092
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: and its members a lot of cash. But he also

1093
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: like they helped him out, like it was a mutual,

1094
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: beneficial deal. They became cash cows together, and I think

1095
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: sometimes we lose sight of that, like you can make

1096
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: money with other people and then kind of resent him

1097
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: at the end when it was it was a partnership,

1098
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: and I would say the partnership between the two treated

1099
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: each other very very well. Uh at low pod fire

1100
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: in those d M s and um and yeah, I mean,

1101
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: what what a week? I guess. I don't know how

1102
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 1: much of the lift I'm gonna watch, but I'm gonna

1103
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: be paying attention. I've bet many of you will too,

1104
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: not like watch many holes, but we'll know what's going on,

1105
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Uh Again, I like to heat the

1106
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: Gala and Tony Finel will probably be my two bets

1107
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: this week. I'm not gonna bet much. I've lost, you know,

1108
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: I do not, Phil, but you know, probably a grand

1109
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: the last month betting on golf because I've just I

1110
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't hit anything. I guess the one thing

1111
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: I hit was JT. But I lost all this other money.

1112
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: So it ull bounced each other out and I have

1113
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: not come close the last couple of weeks, even though

1114
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: Davis Riley has been in the mix. But when you

1115
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: pick him to win, he doesn't come through. Just come on, Davis,

1116
00:57:44,200 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: UH talk soon. Peace the volume
