1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody?

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: John meddlecop go Low a podcast, but a day to

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: be alive. Woke up through the breaking news, which we

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: will dive into off the top. I talked to Sobol

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: earlier this morning, a couple hours after the news is broke.

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: We will go into that as well. What a day,

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean a probably one of the more shocking, eye opening, monumental,

8
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: crazier days in the history of the professional game of golf.

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I think I've been texting with people from the NFL

10
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: to my family friends. This is just a story that

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: broke on CNBC. You know, this did not break on ESPN,

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: This did not break on the Golf Channel. This broke

13
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: on CNBC with the head of the piff Ya sir.

14
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Don't want to screw up his name, especially you never

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: know if I end up at one of his events,

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, don't want to piss him off. And Jay Monahan,

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: the CEO of the future Golf LLC, who knows what's

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: going to be called. We will, We will dive into

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: it all. Jason Soble get some of your mail bag

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: questions at Golo Pod, at Golo Pods the Instagram. So

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: some lib questions that came throughout the day, but yeah,

23
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean just I don't know if anything else matters not.

24
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Last week at the Memorial feels irrelevant. Props to Victor

25
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Hoblin incredible win. The Canadian Open definitely feels irrelevant. We

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: got the US Open in a week. Buckle up that

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: it is easily to me the most anticipated major ever.

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not even counting the golf tournament Thay through Sunday.

29
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: What does Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on the grounds the

00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: four events throughout the year and the NFL, to me

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,680

36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I can't be any more excited for Monday through Wednesday

Speaker 1: next week as well. I have a bet on Max Homa.

39
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll double back down on Koepka. Just lives on fire,

40
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: even though I don't think live is going to exist,

41
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960

00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. So I can just go off at

00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: four o'clock in the afternoon Pacific Standard time the information

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: that I have, So if I say things that are

59
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: either outdated by the time you hear this, or you know,

60
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe aren't as important. There's nothing I can do. You know,

61
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: this is a this is just it is what it is.

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give my thoughts. I've kind of broken

63
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: it down on the major elements of this story. I

64
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: want to start with Jay Monahan because when it comes

65
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: to the show's succession, I enjoy the show, but I

66
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: don't have the same love for the show that a

67
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: lot of people like in the media. Do that feel

68
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: like it's the greatest thing since Slice Spread Again? Entertains me.

69
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: Loved the business element, love the characters, but for me,

70
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: it's not a top five show of all time. Really

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: liked it, watched all the episodes, but I think it's

72
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: a little overhyped. But do enjoy several elements of that

73
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: of the show. I think that Jay Monahan had a

74
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: little Logan Roy moment, and what I mean by that

75
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: is he essentially just made himself a made man. The

76
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: players meeting that just ended, I think in Canada from

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: all reports, was very hostile and people were calling for

78
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: the guy's resignation. Well, jay Monahan essentially just made a

79
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: deal with the piff Saudi Arabia. Some in the media

80
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: would call them the devil and essentially like the mob

81
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano, my favorite show is a made man. Now

82
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: you can say, well, what if the top players turn

83
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: on him? Where do they have to go? Sadi now

84
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: essentially owns professional golf because anytime, and I talk about

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: this with Sobul, you are the number one funder in

86
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a merger, in a partnership in advertising, you yield a

87
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: lot of control. Why they need your money. And the

88
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia government in this investment firm that they have

89
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount of cash. It never ends. They

90
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: can buy whatever they want, whenever they want. And j Monahan,

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: I don't know what spurred this. He I think he

92
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: was quoted of saying this was a seven week process.

93
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: But here's what he did. He insulated himself because now

94
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: the Saudi era in government and PIFF and Yosser and

95
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: SBF I always get him screwed up. It's not SBF

96
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: that is the crypto guy, but that's Sam Bateman. Freed

97
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: have this piece of the professional game because of Jay Monahan.

98
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Without him doing this behind the scenes, this would not

99
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: have happened. Clearly, if you pulled the players from Spieth

100
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: to Rory to rom to Tiger, they would not have

101
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: done this deal, or they were by no means willing

102
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: or inclined to do a deal with the Sadis and

103
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: merge when I say live, but really just merge with them.

104
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Live is going to die because now it's an under

105
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: one umbrella. There is no point to have lived. After

106
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, it's gonna be over and they're all

107
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna play with each other, which we will get to

108
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But Jay Monahan is the guy

109
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: that did that deal, and anytime you are the guy

110
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: that does the deal with the person that had no

111
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: entrance in to the business right beside creating their own league,

112
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: which was entertaining from a social media standpoint, but no

113
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: one was watching. They couldn't get on television, they had

114
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: no access to courses. He's your guy, and you can

115
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: tweet out, or players can say we want them to resign.

116
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Where are you gonna go? There's no other league now,

117
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: there is no place for you to go. There is

118
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: one professional golf umbrella and the Sadi's and Jay control it.

119
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: So what j Monahan essentially did is go logan roy,

120
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: go cutthroat businessman behind the scenes, a little like also

121
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Tom in succession, and just worry about himself first and foremost,

122
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and he's taken care of Now. Eventually, if he's forced

123
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: out the Golden parachute, he's taken care of. He was

124
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: selfish in this situation. Now, is it gonna benefit golf

125
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: big picture? We can dive into that here in a

126
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But when it comes to j Monahan, that

127
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: is one of the most cutthroat dudes you will ever see.

128
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: And say this about Jay, and listen, I've been critical

129
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: of him over the years. It feels like he is

130
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: much more reactive than proactive. But you go back to

131
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty when the media wanted every sport to shut

132
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: down forever. He and Dana White were the first two

133
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: guys to keep it rocking and rolling. The SEC followed suit,

134
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: everyone followed, but PGA Tour and UFC said we're playing,

135
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: and it was it was frowned upon, you know, by

136
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the media and a lot of

137
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: people in society, and from that moment up until this moment,

138
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: say one thing for j The dude has some stones

139
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: and just took care of himself. Now, when it comes

140
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: to the sadis, I think this is a good life

141
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: lesson one of my favorite shows. I like Billions more

142
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: than I ever did Succession is in that show there

143
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: was a great, great line that I will remember till

144
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the day I die. What is the point of having

145
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: fuck you money if you never say fuck you? And

146
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the sadis now, whether it's F one, whether it's European

147
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: soccer to golf are just slowly, and some might say

148
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: not slowly taking over everything. One thought I've had today

149
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: is when do they get involved in the National Football League?

150
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,239
Speaker 1: When do they get involved in the National Basketball Association

151
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: because that kind of feels inevitable because they can write

152
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: checks that no one else can write. They are also

153
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: willing to write checks that no one else is willing

154
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: to write, even if they could sniff those level of funds.

155
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: And they know what they're doing clearly because they started

156
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: to live golf, not because they thought it was some

157
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: genius idea. Honestly, they stole a lot of the ideas

158
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: from other people over the years, and they funded and

159
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: they bought some of the top players with It's a

160
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: pretty clear the idea and the view of getting involved

161
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: with the PGA Tour because without getting involved with the

162
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: PGA Tour, they have no access to network television to

163
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the top golf courses. Unlike football, and unlike soccer, and

164
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: unlike basketball, you can build a stadium wherever. You can

165
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: build a basketball arena wherever you want. In golf, there

166
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: are so many. There are only so many elite golf courses.

167
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: There are not ten pebble beaches. There are not ten

168
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: TPC Zagrasses or Oakmont or Wingfoot or LACC. There is

169
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: a small number of elite country clubs and public golf

170
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: courses that high end professional golfers play at and that

171
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: works on television. And they had access to none of it.

172
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: None of the top country clubs in America. Next week

173
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: you'll see LACC. It's easily the coolest course I've ever played.

174
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: They would never have been able to get involved with

175
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: that course, just like they couldn't with Beach, just like

176
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: they couldn't with TPC Scottsdale, just like they couldn't with

177
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Oakmont or Wingfoot or oak or Southern Hills or you

178
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: name it, all the top courses throughout America. They had

179
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: no ability to ever play events on. So I don't

180
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: care how much money you have. If you can't get

181
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: on the good golf courses, what's the point of having

182
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: this high end golf league, so they were always going

183
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: to be limited. I always thought like going on the CW,

184
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it to stay on YouTube. Ultimately, do

185
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: you know what's clear? They didn't give a shit about

186
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,359
Speaker 1: any of that. The four aces that the team events CW,

187
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: it was about doing everything humanly possible to take over golf.

188
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: And they found their mark and it turned out to

189
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: be Jay Monahan and he was willing to play ball.

190
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: And we'll see what happens to Greg Norman. Yoster said

191
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: this morning on the CNBC Interview when he was sitting

192
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: there shoulder and his shoulder with Jay Monahan, that Greg

193
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: Norman found out when he called him this morning. A

194
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: lot of reports have Rory Tiger, all these guys had

195
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: no clue. Let's face it, the big winner today and

196
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit what the media says. They're

197
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: being disingenuous if they say this. Phil Mickelson looks like

198
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: a genius. He was one of the lead voices he

199
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: has created. Here's the thing with the sadis involved because

200
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: his pushback was always where is the money? I want

201
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: to create more money. We're generating more money. This doesn't

202
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: add up. I'll never forget. A tour player told me

203
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: a long time ago that Phil was furious when Fox

204
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: bought the US Open and they were putting like ninety

205
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: to one hundred million dollars into the tournament and the

206
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: purse went from like ten million to like eleven to five.

207
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: He's like, where's the revenue? None of it ever added up. Now,

208
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: there were complications because it was, you know, a five

209
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: OHO one C, which is a nonprofit. Now they're going

210
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: to turn into an LLC that they are clearly going

211
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: to put these guys on salary. We'll get into that

212
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: and here in a second. But Phil Mickelson was leading

213
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: the charge for this. Now, whether he went about it

214
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: the right way, whether he pissed some people off, regardless

215
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: what you think about him, I've always enjoyed Phil if

216
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm very entertaining. I also thought it was kind of

217
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: sad the last couple of years when he wasn't going

218
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: to the majors. He didn't say a peep in the

219
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: Masters Champions Dinner. I like the version where everyone plays

220
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: together and we got some villains, we got some stars,

221
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: we got some good guys, we got some bad guys.

222
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: This is a TV product. I want to be entertained.

223
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: And I'm glad Phil led us to where we're headed,

224
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: because one thing is where we're headed. These persons, these

225
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: players are gonna play when they all play together, because

226
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: that is what is going to happen in twenty twenty four.

227
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: Sadi is not investing billions of dollars to have cam

228
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Smith and Kevin Naw playing Chase kep go over here

229
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: on a course no one cares about, and Speeth and

230
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: Rory and rom playing over here with Phil, and it

231
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense you would all play together, well,

232
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily Chase Keoepka, but his brother Brooks. They're all

233
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna play together for tons of cash, and I'm excited

234
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: for that. Now. How we got there? Is it right

235
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: or wrong? I listen to Coward go on a rant

236
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: about Live. I'm with them. I never try to be

237
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: disingenuous about being on a moral high horse, because I

238
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: don't have a moral high horse. Now. I have morals

239
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: and values and things I believe in. But I'm a

240
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: businessman and I've said over and over if the Sadis

241
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: would have came to me, who knows what I would

242
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: have said, would I have just gone to them for

243
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: like a million dollars. Probably not, but if they would

244
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: have said, hey, you want to go for ten million

245
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: dollars a year to podcast about live golf, I probably

246
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: would have been podcasting about live golf for the last

247
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. And the media love stop the what

248
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: about ism? Well, the what about ism when it comes

249
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: to this and everyone is in bed with these guys,

250
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: from our government to all these leagues feels a little

251
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: disingenuous picking on like they had anything to do with

252
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: any of the stuff you're talking about. And I'm just

253
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: glad though the conversation is not over, because there are

254
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna be some media people that beat this to a drum.

255
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: But like it shows you that money talks and shit walks.

256
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I always say this about every element of society. Everything

257
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: is such fluff beside the money. The money in every

258
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: walk of life dictates it all, all of it. It's

259
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: not even arguable now should it be that way? Is

260
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: it the best thing? That it is that way? Obviously

261
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: there are things that you would like to not revolve

262
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: around money, but they simply do. They always have and

263
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they probably always will now when it comes

264
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: to the PGA Tour players. One thing I've seen is

265
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of guys should be pissed off that were

266
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: offered a lot of money that turned it down. Now,

267
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I think when you talk about the super high right,

268
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: Tiger was offered hundreds of millions of dollars. Same with Rory,

269
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: same with rom, same with Adcci. These guys were already

270
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: stupid rich. And when you have a lot of money,

271
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: turning down a lot of money if it's not something

272
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: you want to do, isn't that crazy? Now? Looking back,

273
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: if Dustin Johnson and Brooks Kepkin they're all just together

274
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: next year at the same tournament, should you have just

275
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: taken the money and all ended up in the same

276
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: destination anyway, Yeah, you couldn't make that argument. But maybe

277
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: John Rohm would say, I didn't want to play those

278
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: stupid ass tournaments. I'm already worth a shitload. I'm making

279
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: a ton over here, or Scotti, Scheffer or whoever. Now,

280
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: if you made the argument that some of the mid

281
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: tier guys Sam Burns, a Xander Shoffley, a guy like

282
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: that turning down that level wealth, I get them being mad.

283
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: But to me, I would imagine Rory or John Rahm

284
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: or even Hadeki or Tiger don't like are glad they

285
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: just stook it out right, And here's the other thing

286
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: they are going to create, and they set it today

287
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: on the CNBC interview. It's gonna be very fascinating what

288
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: this core is called. Maybe they just call it PGA

289
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: Tour LLC. These guys are gonna be put on salary.

290
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: So the high end guys on the tour, Rory John Rahm,

291
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, they're gonna be paid like they're Patrick Mahomes

292
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: or Steph Curry. They're gonna make I would guess thirty

293
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: to forty five million. They're just on salary with the

294
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: PIFFS money. And then depending on who you are, maybe

295
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: you're a five million dollar a year player. If you're

296
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Victor Hovlin kind of an up and coming young guy,

297
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe you're a twenty million dollar player. Right. I don't

298
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: really know how you compensate Tiger, but keepka cam Smith.

299
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: These guys are very very valuable, right, very very valuable.

300
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: You could argue DJ at this point in time, what's

301
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: he worth? Well, you know, if it was football, people

302
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: would still pay him, or basketball or baseball. They're gonna

303
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: all be on salary and the amount of money that's

304
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna flow golf through the pith. I saw him say today,

305
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: like are you prepared to invest billions of dollars? And yes,

306
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: are responded, Yes, the commitment is never ending. Now, sports washing,

307
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I hear that term a lot. We know what it is.

308
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: Like all you have to do is google what China

309
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: is doing, what Saudi Arabia is doing, Like you could

310
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: figure out that information. This is not nineteen sixty. All

311
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the information on these places are readily available. We have

312
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: this thing called the fucking Internet. So when I hear

313
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: the term sports washing, that to me defines like we

314
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. Every human with a working

315
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: brain and a laptop has a decent idea what the

316
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: hell is going on. You have a Twitter account, if

317
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: you have ever typed in any of this stuff, if

318
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: you if you subscribe to a newspaper, read the Wall

319
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: Street Journal. We got an idea that shady shit goes

320
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: on in some of these places. It doesn't stop anyone

321
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: in any of these major corporations from dealing with any

322
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: of them because back to what I said, money talk,

323
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: shit walks, and now all these players, while mad, are

324
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: all going to directly benefit. They're already super rich, especially

325
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: the top end guys non lived, they are going to

326
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: become dramatically richer. That's just the fact. So the players

327
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: can be bad at Jay all they want. I don't

328
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: think there's anything they can do. It's like they're gonna

329
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: force them to resign how by not playing and doing

330
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: what and boycotting to play? Where where are they gonna go?

331
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, I think Brandal Chamblee is

332
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business in terms of

333
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: all of sports. As an analyst of the game of golf.

334
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: He is as good as anyone that analyzes basketball, or

335
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: football or baseball. I think he's elite at his job.

336
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't read Am and Lynch, but I think both

337
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: those guys are good examples of just going NonStop. Their

338
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: position has not changed in fairness a lot of people.

339
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Jay Monahan's position was theirs. These are bad people. They're murderers, dictators.

340
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: You working for them, You're a scumbag loser, right, And

341
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: they even kept doubling down to day. I think when

342
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: you talk to the average golf fan, they don't really

343
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: care about that. They really don't do, you know what

344
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: They want to see, like, Can I see brooks Kepka

345
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: play Rory in other tournaments just beside the four Majors?

346
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Can I see Cam Smith show up at the Players

347
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Championship and defend his title? Can I see bryceon d

348
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: Chambeau go to the Arnold Palmer. I kind of miss

349
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: those guys because a good sports league. And this is

350
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: one thing basketball is really lacked. When I was a kid,

351
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: teams hated each other, players hated other players. Now everyone's

352
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: best friends. Everyone's super rich and they're best friends. And

353
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: once all the live guys, which had some interesting characters,

354
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: a lot of quote unquote villains leave, Everyone was kind

355
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: of friends on the PGA tour, a bunch of good guys.

356
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Everyone got along. You need people to like, and you

357
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: need people to hate. A lot of people like Middlekoff.

358
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: You're a Laker hater. Fuck yeah, I am. And that's

359
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: what makes sports go around. If you meet a Cowboy fan,

360
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: you know who they hate, the giants in the Eagles.

361
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: If you meet a forty nine er fan, you know

362
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: who they don't like, Sean McVay and the Rams, who

363
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: do the Bears fans not like Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Right.

364
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: That's how sports are built, heroes and villains, your team

365
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: against the teams you don't like, and golf immediately lacked

366
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: that and you could feel it non majors in the

367
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: events I watched. I've watched and gambled on most of

368
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour events this season. I've lost a lot

369
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: of money, but it was lacking. It just was the

370
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: players didn't quite feel right. Even last week at the

371
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Memorial lacked a little juice. And I think bringing everyone

372
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: back together is great. And do you know who matters

373
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: the most in these businesses, especially the sports business is

374
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: the fan is the consumer. They literally pay for everything.

375
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: Not now because the PITH is help fun in that,

376
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: but before television ratings, without us watching it, it doesn't exist.

377
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes the media gets this false sense

378
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: because media members hang out with other media members and

379
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: they can kind of live in a bubble. When media

380
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: members go to events, they don't pay like you do.

381
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: Like I do. Now, I haven't paid to go or

382
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: I haven't gone as a media member to a game

383
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: in years, But when I did, you know, looking back,

384
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: I kind of fell out of touch with the fan.

385
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: And the fan in my business literally provides everything, and

386
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: without them there is none of this. It doesn't exist.

387
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: If people were not willing to attend basketball games and

388
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: watch basketball games, do you know what the NBA would

389
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: be just a bunch of guys that are really good

390
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: at basketball playing for nothing because there would be no money.

391
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: And I think the media has missed the mark on

392
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: this lately, is like, this is not about murderous dictators.

393
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: It's ultimately about getting everyone to play together. And you

394
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: can say, oh, it's sportswa washing, Yeah, we know what

395
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: they do. We have the information. This is about the

396
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: healthiest thing for the game and that is regardless of

397
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: how you get there. Everyone playing against everybody. The official

398
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: Golf World rankings don't mean a fucking thing, not when Brooks,

399
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: Koepka and Cam Smith are not around. Hell, even guys

400
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: like Taylor Gooch Danny McCarthy who almost won the Memorial

401
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: couldn't hold Taylor Gooch's jock or a sandwich probably be

402
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: more apropos for golf. So I think a lot of

403
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: people with the media, they're very predictable and we know

404
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: their takes are going to be on this, and hope

405
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: once Sadi makes this investment, like they're gonna own the

406
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Golf Channel. Maybe not directly on a piece of paper,

407
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: but they're gonna influence everything. And I think Brandal Shambilee,

408
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: who again would it would make me mad if I

409
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: turn on the Golf Channel on major championships, on big

410
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: events and he's not around, and he's not gonna pivot. Now.

411
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: He did not pivot today, but I would say his

412
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: job's in major, major jeopardy because they're gonna come for

413
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: and I don't mean like actually what they do in

414
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, because you're not allowed to do that in America.

415
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Only politicians can kill people and get away with it

416
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: in America. But the Saudis will fire him and Aim

417
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: and Lynch and those guys. They will no longer be

418
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: allowed on the Golf Channel. They control it. And when

419
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: the dust settles, you know it's gonna suck for me.

420
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm a junkie, but most fans won't care. What they

421
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: really will want is like, can cam Smith and Brooks

422
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: Koepka be playing and DJ against Rory and Ram and

423
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler at the Ways management that so when we're

424
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: cheering on Whole sixteen, drinking a bunch of Tito's and

425
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: sodas and getting smashed. Can like Brooks roll through with

426
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: Bryson and Rory. Miss those guys. I missed them at

427
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: the tournament, and I think, listen, it's been weird. It's

428
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: crazy how we got here, but we're here now. In

429
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, I predict liv's not going to exist.

430
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: It's all going to be one sport together, those guys

431
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: playing the PGA, guys under one umbrella live here with

432
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: my main man, Jason Sobral. Okay, Sober, I was fully

433
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: prepared before. I guess you're on the East coast, so

434
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: most of us woke up to this news to give

435
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: you your flowers. And this be a celebration of a

436
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: victor hovelin hater turned into a victor hovelin better and

437
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: hit on just an awesome I mean, the biggest win

438
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: of the guy's career. Just an awesome moment. And now

439
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: that's just completely irrelevant. I'm not gonna lie.

440
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: The only guy trying to take a victory lap today

441
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: is jay Mon Ahead, and I'm not even sure that's

442
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 3: gonna work for him, So no victory laps for me.

443
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: We got work to do.

444
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure you've been on the phone you've been texting,

445
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: like most of us, just the news. Your initial reaction.

446
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: My initial reaction was when this news came out is

447
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: in April. First because I did not think that was real. Secondly,

448
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: it's like we're all living in a simulation. This is

449
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: season five of succession. Essentially never saw any of this coming,

450
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: especially not today. But at least we have company in

451
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: this because none of the parties involved, essentially the players

452
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: had any idea either. I immediately texted two players that

453
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: I know fairly well, one on LIV one on the

454
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 3: PGA too Ur, and I sent them this news and

455
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: I said, what do you think you know about this?

456
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: And both of them go, no, this is the first

457
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: I've heard about it. In the hour and a half

458
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: or whatever two hours since, I've seen social media posts

459
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: from dozens of players who are like, wait, what's going on?

460
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: How did this happen?

461
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: Why did this happen? I think the players, especially the

462
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: DJA tour players, who were told for the past year

463
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: and a half be loyal to stick with the tour

464
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: to you know, hey, things are gonna work out for

465
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: you in the long run, are now going to be

466
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: incensed that they were like, wait, I could have left

467
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: made ten twenty thirty million dollars on Live and then

468
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: with no penalty, you just merged with Live and then

469
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: come back to them. I think they are going to

470
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: have more questions than answers, and so there's I mean,

471
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 3: I hate to say it right now, there's You're gonna

472
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: ask me questions over the next little bit, John, and

473
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: most of my answers are gonna be I have no

474
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: freaking clue. I was on a text chain with my

475
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: boss as I was writing a story for Action, and

476
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 3: the first thing that my boss pult was what the

477
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: fuck I said, Actually I might use that. That's gonna

478
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 3: be a lead for my story today, that that might

479
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: actually be how I start things out.

480
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's so many angles we can take.

481
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: I think on the most basic is I think a

482
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: lot of people on this merger now Listen, anytime you're

483
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: in business with someone and they have all the money,

484
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: it does feel like the sadis now run professional golf.

485
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: I know they're partners and they're merged, but they are

486
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: funding you right so, and their money is unlimited. This

487
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: is you know, I'm not trying to get political here,

488
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: but when people rip on CBS or ABC or NBC

489
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: News run by big Pharma. Well, yeah, they're their bigger

490
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: at biggest advertiser, so wherever the money comes from, they

491
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of control. And now PIFF, who you know,

492
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: is the Saudi Investment Fund that Jay A lot of

493
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: stuff's going viral of his talk a year ago with

494
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Jim Nantz. Obviously a lot of players have been very outspoken,

495
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: from Rory to Rom to Tiger to JT. And now

496
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: it feels like the reason they did this is because potentially,

497
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of unknown would they have lost

498
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: in core litigation wise and they had no choice or

499
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: in your Again, we're only a couple hours from the

500
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: from the news. There's just so much money that was

501
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: offered by PIFF. He couldn't turn it down.

502
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: There there's so many questions here. Again, I wish I

503
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: had some answers.

504
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: I think that doesn't he have to ask the players

505
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: to make a move like this isn't a player's run

506
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: policy board?

507
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, the players really don't have a saying that they

508
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: elect people to the policy board, and policy board makes it.

509
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 3: I mean, it's succession. You watch succession, it's you know, hey,

510
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: we got to go to the board there's not the

511
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: guy who's like the VP for uh wattar Roiko, who

512
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: was like, man, how come you ask me, I've been

513
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: with the company for twenty Well, you're not on the board.

514
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: You don't get to make these decisions. Very very similar

515
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: to that. There's a few things here.

516
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

517
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: First of all, depending litigation I think had a lot

518
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: to do with this, because they're gonna be findings on

519
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: both sides that they didn't want necessarily uncovered and made public.

520
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: And I think that at some point the two I

521
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: probably looked at each other and go, hey, look, you

522
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 3: don't want this out there. We don't want that out there.

523
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: How are we gonna figure this out? Well, let's just

524
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: get together and have a merger. I think jayme Onahan

525
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: and I've said this to you in the past. I've

526
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: said this everywhere that ja.

527
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: CEO so CEO of Professional Golf.

528
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: Screwed up at the beginning. He was arrogant right from

529
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: the start. He and everybody else aligned with the PGA

530
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: Tour was arrogant in thinking this is not a threat

531
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: to us. You know. Oh, we've had other leagues say hey,

532
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna start a golf lead. Yeah, that's no big deal.

533
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: Our players aren't gonna leave. And instead of trying to

534
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 3: do this right off the bat, they just kind of

535
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: tried to show him away that's not a big deal.

536
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: I think he was arrogant over the past year instead

537
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: of saying, well, look Live is now a viable a

538
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: viable product, and we have to look at what they're

539
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: doing and maybe someday we'll come to an agreement. No,

540
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: Jay was all in on. They're bad people. It's a

541
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: badly they're doing bad things. Are's better. Here's whey iurns

542
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: it's so much better than what they're doing. And there

543
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: there was no there was no concession towards Hey, you

544
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: know what, I think it's pretty interesting team concept. Yeah,

545
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of cool. It was. It was we're great,

546
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: they're not. Here's why you should consume our product, here's

547
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: why you shouldn't consume theirs. And so again, I think

548
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: that arrogance is gonna hurt him in the long run

549
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: now that hey, we're on the same team, we're partners.

550
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: It's just it is a weird, weird day in the

551
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: world of golf. I think a lot of players, a

552
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 3: lot of people in the game are gonna be I

553
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 3: think jaymon Han's probably gonna get get the brunt of this.

554
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: But like I said, there's a policy board. Jay is

555
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: only one more small part of it. He is. He's

556
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: the commissioner, he's the head, he is the face of

557
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: everything going on right now. But yeah, there's other powers

558
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 3: that be involved in this, that are helping him make

559
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: these decisions.

560
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: Well, again, there's gonna be a lot over the next

561
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, really the next two weeks because the US

562
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: opens right around the corner. Talk about this, and it's

563
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: little players versus players, right, like Kep Go versus Rory

564
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: rom Versushill, you know, but it's kind of it's been

565
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: Jay versus Greg Norman speaking of another lightning rod. By

566
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: the time people were listening to this, maybe news that

567
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: he's officially out. He wasn't named to anything officially, you know,

568
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: it does this feel like it spells the end for Greg?

569
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 1: And in fairness to him, he kind of did what

570
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: he was paid to do, create some waves and kind

571
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: of get this ball rolling with the live tour, right.

572
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: So I got the sense from Greg over the past

573
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: year that this was all about disruption. You know, Gregan

574
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: wanted to do the world Golf Championships before the World

575
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: Golf Championships existed. PG Tour said no thanks, and then

576
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: the PJ Tour essentially stole his plan and implemented it.

577
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: And so this was his way of getting back of

578
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: the revenge tour. You know, this is the Greg Norman's

579
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift revenge tour of getting back at the PGA

580
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: PGA circuit and trying to beat them at their own

581
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: game and disrupt the world of professional golf. And once

582
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: he did that, yeah, okay, you know Greg would tweet,

583
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: you know, a great job by the Fleaks this week.

584
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: Big Way wasn't as into it as I think, you know,

585
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: on a daily basis. There was not this sense from

586
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: Live that like, hey, we're gonna go out and beat them.

587
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 3: I didn't think that they weren't necessarily a threat to

588
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: go get more superstar players anytime soon. It felt like

589
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: whether the money had dried up a little bit, whether

590
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: the interest level from PGA tours at drive, or maybe

591
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 3: you know, the players looked at it and said, Okay, now

592
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: we're making a lot more money on the PGA Tour.

593
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: Granted we can thank LIV for that, but I don't

594
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: have to jump ship because you know, the PGA tour

595
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: is giving me more money. Now, I will say it

596
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: was very, very interesting. Yasir Al Ramyan, who's the governor

597
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: of the Public Investment Fund, which of course owns and

598
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: operates Live golf, was shoulder to shoulder on CNBC in

599
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: the studio with Jay Monahan this morning and he was asked,

600
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: did Greg Norman know about this? He said, oh, yeah, sure,

601
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: I just called him a few minutes ago. I don't

602
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: think Greg is necessarily I mean inner circle. I mean, uh,

603
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: compared to Consent to Succession. Again, there was a Greg

604
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: in that show wasn't necessarily on the inside circle of

605
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: everything that was going on. Greg Norman might have been

606
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: very much in the same realm.

607
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, definitely on social media

608
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: right now, are taking a victory lap for all the

609
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: high end guys that didn't go. You know, Rom turned

610
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: down hundreds of millions Hideki. Clearly the JT's of the

611
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: world could speak, could you know, Rory? But those guys

612
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: are so rich, you know what did an impact that

613
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: They're like, they're gonna end up making so much money

614
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: In the big picture, I do think the big so

615
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they are huge losers like that group,

616
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: and I think they didn't want to do I do

617
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: think the big winner though, is Phil Mickelson. And he's

618
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: already chirping a little bit as we're recording this. He's

619
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: got to be feeling pretty good. He's got to be

620
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. He's been turning down podiums at these

621
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: since he came, I think late last year and then

622
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: obviously this year. I would expect him next week in

623
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: LA to fucking strut right up to that podium, baby.

624
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's probably gonna talk about all you know, Hey,

625
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 3: this was the plan all along. I love the PGA Tour.

626
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: I wanted to work with them. This was my idea

627
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: to get Live to you know, sort of lad a

628
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: fire under the PGA Tour and get them played. Look

629
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: look at what all the players have to do. They

630
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 3: have to thank me for going to Live, bringing players

631
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: to Live, getting more exposure over there, and they brought

632
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: more money to all them and got more money in

633
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 3: their pockets. It was a weird way of doing everything. Look,

634
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: if you're one who wants to give Phil full credit

635
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: for everything he did here, that's fine. I'm okay with it.

636
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: I still think he could have gone about it, probably

637
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: a classier way than he did over the past year.

638
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 3: But it's fine.

639
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

640
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 3: I mean I have not had any idea what's going

641
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: on with Phil for a while now. You can obviously

642
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 3: still play some good golf. We saw it in augustin National.

643
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: Besides that, look, all I can tell you is that

644
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: I've known Phil Micholson for a long time. Phil always

645
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: has an agenda. Whatever Phil says, whatever Phil tweets, there's

646
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: a reason for it. There's a reason why he's doing

647
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: that he thinks. And you know, this comes to part

648
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: of the whole. I think I'm the smartest man in

649
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: the room type of thing, which sometimes he is and

650
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: sometimes he's not. But Phil constantly thinks he's playing chess

651
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 3: and everyone else is playing checkers. Yeah again, whether that's

652
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: true or not, but Phil is trying to think three

653
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: steps ahead. And so I think that if we go

654
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 3: back and look at his timeline of tweets and things

655
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: that he's said, he's gonna be able to pull out

656
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: a few things here and there and say, look, see

657
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: see what I did see right there, and he'll take

658
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: that victory lap.

659
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: I think if you ran into someone today at the

660
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: golf course, on the street at work start talking about

661
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: this subject, most casual people will act like they're gonna

662
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: start playing together.

663
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 3: Right.

664
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: That's I think what the headline feels like. When you

665
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: read the details of the press release, it doesn't necessarily

666
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 1: reflect that. Again, a lot of moving parts, a lot

667
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: of unknown from your understanding, are we gonna see like

668
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: the like Cam Smith keepka here at like you know,

669
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: the Travelers in a couple of weeks, because it doesn't

670
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: quite feel like that yet. But I also don't expect

671
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: like speak JT to create some team you know, it's

672
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: we're kind of in a weird spot because I think

673
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of unknown on how this is going

674
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: to play out on the course, right, because that's ultimately

675
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: what this affects, right.

676
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: So I think it remains the same throughout the end

677
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty three season, and if you look

678
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: at the PGA Tour concludes its season August twenty seventh,

679
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: Live concludes there as November fifth, and the DP World

680
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: Tour on November nineteenth, I think everything remains as is

681
00:37:55,120 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: for the time being. I think moving forward that all change,

682
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: And yes, I do think.

683
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: That if why would why would Live still host to

684
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: day champion?

685
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: I know I s plenty of this. I look, you're

686
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: asking questions and I don't have answers to And quite frankly,

687
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: I could be a top ten player in the world

688
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 3: who's playing the PGA Tour or playing live and be

689
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 3: sitting here with you right now and say I have

690
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 3: no idea, I'm gonna read to you. This is a

691
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: third paragraph of the press release. Notably, today's announcement will

692
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: be followed by a mutually agreed end to all pending

693
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 3: litigation between the participating parties. Further, the three organizations will

694
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: work cooperatively and in good faith to establish a fair

695
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: and objective process for any players who desire to reapply

696
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: for membership with the PGA Tour or the DP World

697
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: Tour following the completion of the twenty twenty three season,

698
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: and for determining fair criteria in terms of readmission consistent

699
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: with each tour's policies. To me, that tells us they

700
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: don't really have an idea yet that like, yeah, if

701
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: you play live, you can now play the PGA Tour

702
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: the DP World Tour next year. If you want, We're

703
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: gonna let you back in maybe we'll give you some

704
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: sort of penalty. Probably not, since it's a merger, and

705
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: why would we penalize guys now work for us. So

706
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: I don't I can't see that happening, but it it

707
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: smells to me John that if Brooks Kept Goa or

708
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 3: Cam Smith or something like that wants to go play

709
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: these Century Tournament of Champions the first week of January

710
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, they'll say, sure, come on, we're all

711
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: partners here, you can come play.

712
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Kepka wants in on TPC Scottsdale or those

713
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: guys want to play RIV, that feels like where it

714
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: opens up is these big events, the Memorial. These guys

715
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: want back in, they're gonna get in. And you know,

716
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: it's kept Goals likely to be as involved in some

717
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: of the team events. That's when I'd have circled that.

718
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: I can see Brooks playing some less live events. I

719
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: do think it's fair to assume the Saudi's and you've

720
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: seen them do this in soccer and obviously, and I'm

721
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: not a big f one guy, but they got their

722
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: hands involved in the is. They wanted it on golf,

723
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: and so live was a way in. And now that

724
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: they have this merger. You know, I think it's fair

725
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: to assume that the importance of quote unquote live golf

726
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: is less important as long as they're into the overall

727
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: umbrella of the sport. And now they're meat hooks because

728
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: of their cash flow, which is literally unlimited. I just

729
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: feel my overall reaction is it feels like the Sadi's

730
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: and the Pith and Yasser and what's his name, SBF

731
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: or that's the crypto guy, but you know who I

732
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: mean that runs golf like they're in charge now because

733
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: they they're essentially going to sign the check. So well,

734
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: these persons now twenty million dollars these elevated events, Well,

735
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: now the Saudi money is involved. I mean, are we

736
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: going to see like a fifty million dollar event because

737
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: that feels like it's on the table.

738
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Probably it's more money for everybody. I mean, I

739
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: guess if you're a player and you're mad right now,

740
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna be placated very veryvery quickly when

741
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 3: they start talking about how much money is now going

742
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: to be involved in these events that you know, I

743
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 3: go have one good week next year and I'm gonna

744
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 3: make more money than I had in the previous five years,

745
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: so you know, that's certainly possible. I don't know. I

746
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 3: mean we talked about who runs golf. Nobody really runs

747
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: golf right now anyway. So look, I think that probably

748
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 3: the people making these decisions are the people that are

749
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 3: not front facing as you think. And again, Jay mo

750
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: Onahan is going to get some of the credit and

751
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: all of the blame, and you know he is going

752
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 3: to be the name that's front and center, is the

753
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: face of everything. But this, this goes way beyond. It

754
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: transcends just Monhan. There's some big names on that policy

755
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 3: board with the PGA tour who I've heard have had

756
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: conversations with live in recent weeks, and they had a

757
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 3: big part in making this happen. Again, I said it earlier,

758
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: this pending litigation and the fine were gonna be made public.

759
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 3: Don't undervalue the impact of not wanting things made public

760
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: and how that fueled their decision making, because I mean,

761
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 3: this has gone from zero to sixty very very quickly.

762
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 3: This has gone from we hate them, our product is better.

763
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 3: You know, there is never gonna be any talks between us,

764
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: any kind of merger anything like that, to by the way,

765
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: it's two Today morning, We've got a merger. Let's break

766
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: the news on CNBC. I mean, this has gotten very

767
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 3: very quickly. There are very few things that can make

768
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: it go that quickly. But I think the ability to

769
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: keep secrets secret that that'll fuel a whole lot of

770
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 3: things moving forward.

771
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: Unless you got something else, I'm gonna end. I think

772
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: the big winner here is just golf, because one thing

773
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: we saw with Kopka winning is the separation of just

774
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: some of the top guys, Camp Smith, Brooks, even Bryson

775
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: when he's good not being around the villains. Those guys

776
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: back interacted. I like watching the DP World Tour on

777
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday morning if I get up really early

778
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: and having a cup of coffee. Obviously they were directly impacted,

779
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: losing some of their big names that occasionally play over there.

780
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: If now we get the combination of all these guys

781
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: playing together again, there's animosity, there's added storylines. I do

782
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: think it's good for the entertainment standpoint, and that's what

783
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: I care about the most, and I think what most

784
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: fans care about the most, because most fans aren't profiting

785
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: from this. Besides, if you bet on Victor Howlin last

786
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: week to win the Memorial. I do think this element

787
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: of getting everyone back together, beside just the four majors

788
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: a year, if that's eight or nine times now, benefits

789
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: us all from an entertainment standpoint.

790
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: I think you're not wrong about that. By the way,

791
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 3: wasn't that a shooter McGavin line. I think the big

792
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 3: winner today is the game of golf. Shoot her out

793
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 3: and let him analyze this whole thing. Look, I've said

794
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 3: it for the past year that, like, you know, I've

795
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: said it in jest at joking rep but hey, you

796
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 3: know what would be really cool if we took like

797
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: all the good players from Live and then all the

798
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 3: good players from the DP World Tour and front from

799
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 3: the PGA Tour, and we put them all together and

800
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 3: they like played against each other like all the time.

801
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be awesome? Well? Guess what, that's what we're

802
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: gonna have. It also looks very similar to what the

803
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 3: PGA Tour was three twenty twenty two, So I mean,

804
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: it's not like anything nothing we've ever seen before. You know,

805
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: it's not like, Wow, for the first time ever, Rooks

806
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 3: Kopka and Cameron Smith are gonna play in PGA Tour events.

807
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 3: We're gonna see what that's like now. It's it wasn't

808
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 3: that long ago they were playing in PGA Tour events.

809
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: So we're basically just you know, hitting the reset button

810
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: on this whole thing. And you know, it just goes

811
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: back to me calling it a simulation, and like, you know,

812
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 3: we all just got job for the last year and

813
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 3: a half, yelling at each other on social media for

814
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: a long time, then going oh, all right, yeah, I

815
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: guess we're just going back to everyone just go play

816
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: golf now for more money. Yeah.

817
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: Camps myth the players champ last year, uh you know,

818
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: was his parking spot was removed. So I wonder if

819
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: he gets his parking spot back at at TBC saw Agress.

820
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, you know, that's just water under the

821
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 3: bridge now, you know, no big deal. We're all friends.

822
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: Come on, it was just part of the process.

823
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: Any Michael Block takes for the Canadian Open this week,

824
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: he played good. You see, he beat Ludwig. He almost

825
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: qualified for the US Open. He had a good he

826
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: had a good uh good thirty six holes yesterday.

827
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 3: This is who I really feel for because Michael Block

828
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 3: could have, uh you know, if he had an agent.

829
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: You could have called had his agent called Live a

830
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago after the PJ and say, hey, look,

831
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 3: he's got a chance to play in the Charles Schwab

832
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 3: Challenge and the RBC Canadian Open, but for for the

833
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: very small nominal signing bonus of ten million dollars, Michael

834
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: would love to come play Live golf instead. That's that's

835
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 3: how I would have approached this if I were him,

836
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: going from club pro to making some serious cheese over

837
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: on U Live Golf. Well apparently that won't be necessary anymore.

838
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 3: So you know, Michael's gonna have to go hoofit in

839
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 3: Canada this week without a US Open berth in next

840
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 3: week's field.

841
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: So poor Michael, I'll get you out of here on this.

842
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: I know you like Terrell Hatten this week. Have you

843
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: do you already have your pick for the for LACC Yeah, I.

844
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 3: Was gonna spend the next couple of days doing it.

845
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: I think we're starting to see a little separation because

846
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: for the first few months of this year it's like, Man,

847
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 3: I look at the top twenty in the world, like

848
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: all those guys are really really good and I can't

849
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 3: really separate. And now we're starting to see, like Scotti

850
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 3: Scheffler is really really good, he's playing really really well.

851
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 3: Brooks Koepka goes to Majors, plays really well. Those guys

852
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: are gonna be up there. Who else? Cameron Smith might

853
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: be on top of my list. He's gonna go to

854
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: the Majors, He's going to rolland putts, he's gonna play well.

855
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 3: Victor Hovlin, of course, but just one the other day,

856
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: Victor is he's taken into a different gear. I mean

857
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: that was a different Victor Hovelin that I watched on

858
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: the back nine on Sunday, a guy that like was

859
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: just smiling and laughing off a bad chip. I mean,

860
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 3: this was a guy that had full game face going.

861
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I've seen that from Victor before. I

862
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: think something's changed in him. But you start looking at

863
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 3: guys like that and you're like, they're just they're playing better.

864
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean Xander Softly can't win, doesn't mean Justin Thomas

865
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 3: can't win. These guys are just playing better on a

866
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 3: regular basis than those players.

867
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: And even Rory, who you know the eye test, it

868
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: feels like he's playing shitty, even though he top tens

869
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: and basically every events he's playing in right now is

870
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: on a completely different level than guys I always bet

871
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: on the Zanders, the Fenales, Like if you're gonna even

872
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: if you're down on Rory, you're better off betting him

873
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: than some of those random guys because they haven't even

874
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: been I'm so tired of betting on that crew of

875
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 1: like the second tier guys that get, you know, pretty

876
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: good odds and then you just look up there like

877
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: struggling to make the cut.

878
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 3: I ain't see that was learned how to win. The

879
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 3: odds are pretty good. Yeah, it's yeah, Max Holba's got

880
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 3: a it's not now Rory. There's a non zero chance

881
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 3: that Rory wins by seventeen shots this week, Like hey, like,

882
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: lift all the weight from what you've had on you

883
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: for the last year and a half to like, hey, bro,

884
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 3: it's cool, don't worry about it anymore. Just go play golf,

885
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 3: like may Barty every single hole in Canada this week.

886
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 3: I have no idea or it could be weighing on

887
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 3: him even more that like he's gotten so many questions

888
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: about he's got to deal with this, deal with that

889
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 3: he's on phone calls that he misses the cut. I

890
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 3: have absolutely no idea. But if anything, I think, at

891
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: least at least in the long term, if not the

892
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: short term, I think this frees up Rory to play

893
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 3: better golf.

894
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, if his number gets to like thirteen, fourteen to

895
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: one for the US Open, I could be intrigued. Could

896
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: I could be Yeah, my stupid, but I could be Okay,

897
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: so well.

898
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: I have a feeling plays well inferior field. This week

899
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 3: is two time defending champ, granted in two different decades

900
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 3: on two different golf courses, but he is the defending

901
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: champion here and I think he'll play well and I

902
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 3: think he'll keep that number from getting too long.

903
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Next week I think is probably ten to twelve. That

904
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Canadian Open last year was a big moment him JT

905
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 1: few kind of you kind of vibeing on the course

906
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: when the lift stuff was hot and heavy. Now it's

907
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: they're all runds again.

908
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 3: I'll think we're getting that this year.

909
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Okay, so we'll enjoy enjoy

910
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: the phones today.

911
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 3: Thanks buddy, See if we have some news for US

912
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 3: next week.

913
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Okay. I had a little change of plans because this

914
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be a huge story. The rest of

915
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: the week, I think I will do the at go

916
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: Low pod. At Go Lo pod is the Instagram I saw.

917
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of mail bag questions just because

918
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: I went for like twenty five minutes, soba, I don't
