I'm really bad. My 51 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: always advice is one, take a lesson. Just go to 52 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: your local public course, take a fifty dollar lesson and 53 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: he can at least get you pointed in the right direction. 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: And if you're a little uneasy about doing that, like 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm not spending a lesson, go to YouTube. And like 56 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: any time I have a question on anything in life, 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: like my dryer breaks, Uh, some happens in my furnace, 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: I need a new I need to put the desk together, 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: I get a new television.

Phil Mickelson 63 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: and Rory McIlroy giving you teaching points on YouTube, So 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: that would be my recommendation for a lot of you 65 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: guys send me those like I'm new into golf, what 66 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: do I do? How do I get started? And I'm 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: not handkney, I'm not butch arming. I'm just I'm actually 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: like a three point nine handicap right now, playing like 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: an eight. But you don't have a little game when 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: it's rolling. But I to recommend YouTube or go to 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: your local course. But let's start with the news of 72 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: the day. And as of recording this right now, we 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: don't have an official announcement, but I think it's fair 74 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: to say Jason Silbel, who you're here later, thinks he's playing. 75 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: I saw Colton Nost, former PGA Tour player, US Amateur champion, 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: works for Serious and CBS now says he thinks he's 77 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: planned that did. Joe Lacava, his caddy fellow bald brother 78 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: would not have flown to Florida to walk around with 79 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: Tiger for ships and giggles. Tiger is locked and loaded, 80 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: and it's pretty crazy. There aren't many guys that it 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: can have like seven comebacks in a career, but he's 82 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: had a lot of them, and several of them have 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: been self inflicted. We can debate whether this one self 84 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: inflicted obviously was just him driving a car. He's lucky 85 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to be alive. I was told second hand by people, 86 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: someone in Los Angeles that knew a guy on the 87 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: fire a crew or was in the I think it 88 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: was the fire. You know, the fire truck was the 89 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: first to arrive before the ambulance or one of the 90 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: first responders to the accident. When they got their bones 91 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: were everywhere. And remember when that day happened. I think 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: we were all happy. The guy was alive, but too 93 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: never thought one he would ever walk the same, he 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: would ever be the same. But when you did, if 95 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: you did, and I did watch The Father Son with Charlie. 96 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: Granted he's taken a cart and it's, you know, a 97 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: resort style. Of course, Tiger I wouldn't say had his 98 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: swag back, but was hitting buttercut drives, hitting beautiful iron play. 99 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Looked like pretty happy guy. And then you saw him 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: that Rivieria with Jim Nance were two years ago. He 101 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: had like the puffy face. He didn't look good. His 102 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: back was in shambles. He wasn't in a good place. 103 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Remember he didn't play last year, you know, two years ago, 104 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: the couple of days before his accident, because his back 105 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: was flaring up. He was in bad shape, and you 106 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: see it on his face. Tiger wears like his status 107 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: very very much on his face. Well then he saw 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: him this year with Jim Nancy. He looks fantastic at 109 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame induction when Salmon introduced him, he 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: looked great, and there was a visual that went viral. 111 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: I've never played RIVERA would love to about these stairs 112 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: that go up Olympic clubs A little bit like this too. 113 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: The eighteenth green is you play the eighteenth Green and 114 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: then you got a long hike to the clubhouse and 115 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Tiger the steps at Riviera, I don't know's I supposedly 116 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: it's really high. And the video went viral and this 117 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: guy basically tweeted, I've walked these steps and if you 118 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: have a bad leg, it's not possible to walk him 119 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: and he didn't. No problem was high five and people 120 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: waving to people, so we all had a glimmer of hope. 121 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: But I'll be completely honest, I didn't expect any golf 122 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: from Tiger Woods this year, especially not the Masters. But 123 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: if he plays, you know, I think it'll be pretty 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: freaking cool. My expectations I won't really have any. I 125 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: will just be glad to watch him play at Augusta now. 126 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: As Jason Sobel will mention later, he's never in the 127 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: history of playing this tournament not finished within the top forty. 128 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: So when he plays the Masters, he makes the cut. 129 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: And let's face it, he's played this tournament not always 130 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: playing his best. It's like he wins this tournament every 131 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: time he plays it. Nobody knows Augusta better than Eldrick 132 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and listen, I I talked about this a lot. 133 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I just have such admiration, you know. I think Tiger 134 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady have some parallels. Tom Brady did not 135 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: come back for the fame, the fortune, more money, to 136 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: see himself on TV. He came back for the juice 137 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: of winning, for the juice of preparing for football games, 138 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: for the juice of playing on Sundays. He loves it, 139 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: he needs it, It's all he knows. These guys are addicts. 140 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: They have more money, their families are fine, they have 141 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: young chill, they can do whatever they want. It's like 142 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said, uh, you know, one of the original 143 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: hard knocks, Jerry Jones walks into the team meeting and 144 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a big eagle thing to say, 145 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: but it's it's so true. And he says, basically, guys, 146 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: I could be anywhere in the world, but I'm here 147 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: with you now. It's I'm not comparing Jerry Jones a 148 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: Tiger and Tom. But my point is that Tom Brady 149 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: coming out of retirement and Tiger Woods coming back from 150 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: like his seventh major injury went his leg was shattered, 151 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: to just compete in the Masters again and not be 152 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: like some carnival show, not just be like some you know, spectator, 153 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: just show up for people to see you like, he's 154 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: coming to compete. Now ultimately, deep down, as you know, 155 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: I probably can't win this one maybe, but I think 156 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: he's coming thinking like, I can be in the mix. 157 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: I can compete in this course as well as anybody 158 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: I know everywhere to go around this course. And as 159 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: Colin Moore cow I saw say probably within the last month, 160 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: they go, you're the best iron player on tour, and 161 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: he goes, no, I'm not. Tiger Woods is still the 162 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: best iron player. Now. Part of that is the reverence 163 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: he has for Tiger Woods. But I also think when 164 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: Tiger is healthy, he's not just the greatest iron player. 165 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: He's the greatest iron player ever. There is no close second. 166 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: It's Tiger on a pedestal by himself. But the determination 167 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: by this human being to never tap out is to 168 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: me of all his championship pedigree, of his ability to 169 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: intimidate people on Sundays, his ability to make these clutch putts, 170 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: his ability to never quit, to never say I retire, 171 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: to ever say I don't need to do this anymore. 172 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: I often think about myself if I had I mean, 173 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: he's got hundreds of million dollars in the bank. If 174 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: I just had seventy five million dollars in the bank 175 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: and everything in my life was paid off and I 176 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: was just money, I never had to think about it again. 177 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Would I still work is hard? Would I still watch 178 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: all these games to give you guys takes? Would I 179 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: still be invested in everything I do? And I say 180 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: I love what I do. I'm I don't have much 181 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: balance in my life. I'm an all in guy, but 182 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: I question that sometimes. And yet I see Tom and 183 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: I see Tiger. They refuse to go off into the 184 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: sunset because they are addicted to their craft. They are 185 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: addicted to the juice of competing. And I don't think 186 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, really like it's it's pretty simple why 187 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: they're that great now. Obviously they have the talent, but 188 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: their work ethic and love, And I say it's all 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the time. When you love what you do, whether that 190 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: is you know, running uh whatever, a company, selling printers 191 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: or playing quarterback, it's so much easier to work because 192 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: you don't ever feel like you're working that hard because 193 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: you love what you're working on. Right, Like Elon Musk 194 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: loves running companies, Gary v likes doing all this entrepreneurial 195 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: yet Tim Cook clearly likes Apple. Right, when you're all 196 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: in and you're addicted to your job, whatever that may be, 197 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: whether that's playing golf or whether that's you know, running 198 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: the seven chick fil as you own, it's so much 199 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: easier to spend extra time. And the only way to 200 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: be the best in your field is to spend an 201 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: inordinate amount of time. There's no circumventing that, even in 202 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty two. Like, obviously, work ethic, like 203 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: you gotta work smart, not you know, you gotta work 204 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: smart and hard, and I think Tigers will to just 205 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: play golf is his defining characteristic of all his attributes 206 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: that made him one of the greatest champions sport has 207 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: ever seen. And if he comes back, I I think 208 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: it'll be one of the cooler and bigger stories. I mean, 209 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: the irony of him coming back Duke North Carolina is 210 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, on paper, Coach K's last you know, 211 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: they've never played in the tournament before. It's what if 212 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: whenever he loses or you know, if he wins the 213 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: champion this is it is going to be one of 214 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: the biggest n C double A tournament games ever. Now, 215 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: is Tiger Woods returning to the Masters where he played 216 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago a bigger story than that? 217 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's gonna be on the short 218 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: list of sports stories in two thousand and twenty two. 219 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: It'll be hard to be topped because the other thing, 220 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: if he plays in this, why wouldn't he play in 221 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: the U S Open, Why wouldn't he play in the 222 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: PGA Championship. Why wouldn't he play in the Open Championship. 223 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it minimum he just played the other four majors. 224 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: If you give me Tiger in four majors, what a 225 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: golf season, and we already know how fun it is. 226 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: Like Scottie Scheffler just became number one in the world 227 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: and he feels a little bit like an afterthought. Isn't 228 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: that kind of crazy? Now, if you're listening to this 229 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: and you're more of a casual golf fan, Scotty Scheffler 230 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: probably doesn't resonate that much with you. He might soon 231 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: because he just went on a forty five days stretch 232 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: which was Tiger like. Like, guys have great seasons now 233 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: and win once in a season like John rom I'm 234 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: pretty sure won one time in two thousand twenty one. Now, 235 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: granted he failed a COVID test and got booted off 236 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: the Memorial, he would have won that tournament as well 237 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: as the US Open. But you can be compete to 238 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: be the player of the year and win like a major, 239 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: or like Justin Thomas last year. Win the players win 240 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: three tournaments in forty five days, and they're not random 241 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: tournaments in the middle of nowhere. They're not like it's 242 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: just the North Dakota Open and uh, the New Jersey, Uh, 243 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: the New Jersey Invitational. No, he won Waste Management, loaded field, 244 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: beat Can't Lady. In a playoff, he won the Arnold 245 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: Freaking Palmer who Tiger has won it seven times, and 246 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: then he won the match play which was a loaded field. 247 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: So I Scottie Scheffler to me, there are some parallels 248 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: with Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas, and speak when he's 249 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: rolling fits into this category too. They're just, you know, 250 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: so many guys now just hit a three forty yards 251 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: and have nine iron wedge in their hand. The golf, 252 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: the game's kind of boring. This guy hits it pretty far, 253 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: but he's an artist. I saw him hit a low, 254 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: stinging cut drive. He can hit high towering draws. His 255 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: feet are going every which way. He kind of looks gangly. 256 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: He's just the dudes just can play, you know. Sometimes 257 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: in football, you know, I remember going to the combine 258 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: a lot and seeing a guy like loved him in college, 259 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: and he'd be like, oh, he's not big enough. His 260 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: body is kind of weird. Suthing's off with this guy 261 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: and then he kind of get off the scent. I 262 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: remember when I was with the Eagles, we brought in 263 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner who was coming out of Utah State as 264 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: he wore a Ninja turtle backpack, and we're just like, 265 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, this guy is kind of weird. A decade later, 266 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: the guy's going to the Hall of Fame. Like some 267 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: guys just got it. It doesn't matter what they look like, 268 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what clothes they wear, it doesn't matter 269 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: how quirky they are. The game starts whatever they play, 270 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: whether it's golf like Scottie Scheffler like, whether it's football 271 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: like some guys, or basketball. Those motherfucker's can play. And 272 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: to me, Scottie Scheffler, this dude is gonna be a 273 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: force on the PGA Tour for a long time. Talk 274 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: about blue Chippers. One thing that's cool right now about 275 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: the PGA tour. You know, when I was young, like 276 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: Tiger and Phil, there there were occasional guys like that, 277 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: but for the most part it would be like a 278 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: slow bleed for some guys. And a lot of international 279 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: guys were playing in Tiger and Phil's heyday, right Ernie Els, Ratief, Goosen, VJ. Sing. 280 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't just all American guys. A lot of the 281 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: American guys now are blue Chip guys basically from like 282 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: Texas in the SEC Justin Thomas, Alabama, Jordan's Speak, University 283 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: of Texas, Colin Morikawa, cal Victor Hofl in Oklahoma State 284 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Wolf look like one. He's kind of falling off the map, 285 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Davis Riley, who just was Alabama. You know 286 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: these guys were just coming from these premium pro Graham's 287 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: hitting the ground running, ready to kick ass and take names. 288 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: It's fun to watch John rom He's a Euro but 289 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: Arizona State Phil Mickolson. I remember bet someone a million 290 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: dollars he'll win a major. Boom one a Major or 291 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: maybe the bet was a major in five years and 292 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler to me, if he was an NFL player, 293 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: he would have been like Jamaar Chase or something. He 294 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: would have been a Texas Elite player. He would have 295 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: been a top ten pick. And he's come into the 296 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: pros and kicked ass and taking names because last year's 297 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: like could he win? Can he not? But he gets 298 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: the Rider Cup and he's clearly one of the best 299 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: players this year. Three tournaments and forty five days, he 300 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: went from being like fifty to one to win the 301 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Masters right now, he's like sixteen seventeen to one that 302 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: I love watching. I say it all the time. I 303 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: watched Pro sports for the best. I watched baseball growing 304 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: up for King Griffey Jr. Barry Bonds and Greg Maddox 305 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: and Patro Martinez and Randy Johnson. I didn't watch for 306 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: the random utility infielder. I wanted to watch guys hit 307 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: five foot home runs. I watched the NBA for Steph Curry, 308 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neil, Allen Iverson. I watched golfer Tiger Woods, 309 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: Roy McElroy, Jordan's speak, John Romp, Dustin Johnson. I appreciate 310 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: these other guys stories. I like when I have money 311 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: on a guy, But ultimately, if you give me the choice, 312 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: I want to see the best players on the weekend. 313 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: I want to see the best players compete to win 314 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: the Masters, the US Open.

Uh. 330 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: I just think he's been close of He's a tough 331 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: golf course player and uh he finished t six here 332 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: last year at the Valerio Texas. So I'm gonna go 333 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: Gary as my pretty big bet. And then I just 334 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: dabbled on some different guys like Davis Riley, who played 335 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: well a couple of weeks ago in Tampa. Fagala, who 336 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: is just again another blue chip guy from Pepperdine. I 337 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: think when Covid hit right, the golf season canceled, and 338 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: he's like, fucking I'll just go pro and we see 339 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: him a couple of he's big. Uh, he's just he's 340 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: got game, and I got him eighty to one. I 341 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: think Nie Smith I threw these are just like twenty 342 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: dollar bets at eighty to one hundred to one. Uh, 343 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: just just to keep me interested this week because I'm 344 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: not I'll be honest that into the Valeria Texas Open, 345 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: but mainly because the Masters is right around the corner, 346 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: and when you have to me a major or the players, 347 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: it's just that tournament sucks the life out of the 348 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: tournament before and definitely sucks the life out of the 349 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: tournament after so that the Masters can't get here fast enough. 350 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I already have a wager on Victor Hoveland. I'm tempted. 351 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put anything on Tiger, maybe like a 352 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: top twenty on Tiger, but definitely I'm thinking about Keepka. 353 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Justin Thomas. Dustin Johnson showed some signs 354 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: of life. I enjoy match play. I thought that tournament 355 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: was was fun to watch. It's fun to watch other 356 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: guys be in the mix. You know, a banswer Kevin 357 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: Kissner can go toe to toe with Scottie Scheffer or 358 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, you know whoever, Justin Thomas, and that doesn't 359 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: always happen at normal golf courses. That course looks a 360 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: little weird. Uh, it would be very hard for most 361 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: of us mortals.

Well, really it's the it's the lead 396 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: up to the big week of Augusta. But we'll start 397 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: with the Valerio Texas Open. But before we dive into 398 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: the Valero Texts Open, I have to get Mr Golf 399 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: Jason Sobel every week Monday through Wednesday, Serious XM two 400 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: to four Eastern Links and Locks podcast Action Network. You 401 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: can find his previews on Twitter. Uh, get on it 402 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: because his previews for every week and coming up in 403 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: a big week is gonna be massive. But we have 404 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: to start with the young man who once played at 405 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: Stanford University who's went on to win a lot of tournaments, 406 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: the Cat Eldrick Tiger Woods. As of recording this, his 407 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: planes already touched down to Hell. He might even be 408 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: on property. Uh, we'll start. Do you expect him to 409 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: play at Augusta next week? Jason? Hello John? Why don't 410 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: we get right into it? I will say I tweeted 411 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: out the fact that it speaks volumes that Scottie Scheffler 412 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: one the other day became number one in the world 413 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: for the first time. He didn't trend on Twitter. Tiger 414 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Woods essentially took a plane ride he didn't speak, he 415 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: didn't commit to the Masters field. He took a play 416 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: and ride, and he is trending all over the place today, 417 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: and for good reason. We all understand why. And yes, 418 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: if you're gonna give me even money right now, I 419 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: will absolutely bet that Tiger Woods is going to play 420 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: next week. He's not taking a plane ride to Augusta 421 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: simply because he wants a sweet tea in a pimento 422 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: cheese sandwich in the Augusta National Clubhouse. That's not how 423 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: this works. He's going up there to to see if 424 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: he can walk this golf course, to see if he 425 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: can play this golf course, to ensure that he's not 426 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: gonna embarrass himself when he plays in the Masters next week. 427 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: But yeah, I have every reason to believe that he 428 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: is going up there with every thought of I'm gonna 429 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: give it a go for the first time in seventeen months. 430 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play an individual competitive event, and John, I 431 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: think he's gonna play pretty well. If he does too, okay, well, 432 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna be very popular to gamble on. 433 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: You know. Betting him to win out right feels a 434 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: little extreme, but as we've learned before, you can never 435 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: discount him. What do you think is a is a 436 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: credible bet, whether it's a tie up ten, top twenty, 437 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: top five, whatever, that you would feel pretty good about 438 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: going in when he teas it off on Thursday. I'm 439 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: actually writing up my preview content already and I have 440 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: him down and granted, its contingent on him playing, but 441 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: I have him down for a top forty right now, 442 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: and that's a very conservative play. I get that. In 443 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: the history of golf prognostication writing, there's never been anyone 444 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: in my industry who said, yeah, I like Tiger for 445 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: a top forty. I mean, back in the day, it 446 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: would have been minus ten thousand for Tiger Woods to 447 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: finish in the top forty would have been a ridiculous bet. 448 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: And yet now you look at you say, okay, well 449 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: that's fair. And the reason I say top forty is 450 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: because in twenty one career professional starts at Augusta National, 451 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: Tigers never finished outside the top forty. So that's at 452 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: least where I'm starting things. If indeed he does play, 453 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: he looks pretty good. I'm I'm gonna have him in 454 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: my final Master's ranking, which I'll have at the Action 455 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: Network early next week of the nineties something player field, 456 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: he'll probably be somewhere twenty to twenty five of my ranking, 457 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: which is, hey, look, that's amazing for a guy who 458 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: nearly died in a car accident just over a year ago. 459 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: Still pales a little bit and embarrass into where we've 460 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: seen Tiger in the past at the Masters. But I 461 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: don't think anyone would be disappointed from something inside the 462 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: top twenty five from Tiger next week. Well, I think 463 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: it's fair to say that of all the people listening 464 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: to this right now, including myself, there might not be 465 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: one person who has ever stepped side inside the gates 466 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: at Augusta. You've been there, why you know? Because I'm 467 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: clearly television doesn't do it justice. How hilly is it? 468 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: I mean we hear a lot about it, But when 469 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: you're out there, is it? You know you've been to 470 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: all these courses, all these major courses. I mean, is 471 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: it right up there with any in terms of the 472 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: undulation of the actual course. Yeah, it's up there with 473 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: just about all of them, very undulated elevated golf course. 474 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: It's hilly, and it's less about walking up and down 475 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: those hills, and it's more about trying to hit off 476 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: a little downhill while a little uphill lile, a little 477 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: side hill lie. And for Tiger, I'm guessing that when 478 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: he gets to Augusta, Nashville might be happening as you 479 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: and I are speaking right now. Him out on the 480 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: golf course, it's not just well, I'm gonna walk down 481 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: the fairways and I'm gonna hit some shots. I'm gonna 482 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: see how I feel. It's. Hey, I'm gonna take a 483 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: ball and I'm gonna put it with you know, a 484 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: lie that's four inches below my feet, and see how 485 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: it feels when I try to hit that shot. I'm 486 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: gonna put it, uh, you know, four inches above my feet. 487 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a sidle. He's going to try to 488 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: figure out how he can hit the ball with each 489 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: of these lies. What feels okay to him, what doesn't. 490 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: The one thing we do know about Tiger, John is 491 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: that I don't think pain is going to be a factor. 492 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: I think Tiger does a pretty good job of just 493 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: blocking out that pain, of compartmentalizing and keeping that in 494 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: the back of his mind and not even worrying about 495 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: this guy won the two thousand eight US Open remember 496 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: on essentially one leg, you know, a torn a c L. 497 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: He had multiple leg fractures. If he can do that, 498 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: he can play with this. So I think it's more 499 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: about can I physically go walk the golf course and 500 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: technically can my swing hold up under these high pressure 501 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: situations more so than just it might hurt and I 502 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: don't want to go out there if it's gonna hurt. 503 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: I don't think he's worried about that. Okay, it's it's 504 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: a tough transition. But there is a golf tournament this week, 505 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: the Valero Texas Open. Uh did Jordan's speed is? He's 506 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: a defending champion correct of this of this tournament? So? 507 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: And then he rolled right into Augusta and played well. 508 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: So this helped him gain a lot of momentum last year. 509 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like he's playing quite the same. But the 510 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: guy that you picked to win this tournament, and I 511 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: think he's kind of a favorite just for a lot 512 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: of the golf gambling community. Chris Kirk forty one, as 513 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: we're talking right now, sell me on him. Yeah, this 514 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: happens way too often, John. So I sit around on 515 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon watching the final round of the previous 516 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: week and writing about the next week. And so I 517 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: was sitting there doing my research. I found Chris Kirk 518 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: top fifteen finishes and three of his last four starts 519 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: top fifteen at the Valero Texas Open, and four of 520 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: his last six. They're a nice little convergence of form 521 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: and course history. As it all right, I got it, 522 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: a little diamond in the rough. I found a guy 523 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden wake up Monday morning. His odds 524 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: are way too short, and you mentioned forty one. I've 525 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: seen him as low as twenty five to one in 526 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: some places. The guy hasn't one in six, seven, eight years. 527 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: Give me a little bit of a break, give me 528 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: some longer odds, please. But yes, I do still like 529 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: Chris Kirk. He is gaining strokes in every major category 530 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour this season. That leads to fifteenth 531 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: and strokes game total, And quite frankly, I know people 532 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: like to look at They look to look at wins, 533 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: they look to look at money earned, FedEx cup points, 534 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Strokes game total essentially shows 535 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: you who is playing the best golf. For Chris Kirk 536 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: to be fifteenth on that list so far, this season 537 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: better than a lot of other big name players. That 538 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: speaks volumes about where he is with his game. One 539 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: guy is coming off a really good week last week 540 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: at the match play and it's a unique event. Granted, 541 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: is Corey Connors now his odds reflect that this week? 542 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean he's he's being treated like a JT. You know, 543 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: like a Dustin Johnson at fourteen sixteen to one. Uh, 544 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: is that just way too high for a guy that 545 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, you would say you wouldn't be shocked at 546 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: off He's in the mix come Sunday, right. One of 547 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: the best stories to come out of golf in the 548 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: last handful of years was when Corey Connors was not 549 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: even in the field on Monday, made it through a 550 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: Monday qualifier, got into the field, won the golf tournament 551 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: that week, and on Sunday night was on a plane 552 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: flying to Augusta, Georgia as the last man with that 553 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: golden ticket to the chocolate factory, so to speak, getting 554 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: into the master's field. This time around, he's already in 555 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: the master's field. He's gotta be using this as a 556 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 1: little prep work, a little uh, you know, kind of 557 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: get right week. But fresh off of seven matches in 558 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: five days. Dude, I was just tired watching all that golf. 559 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: He's got to be exhausted after that, so I don't 560 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: expect a whole lot from Corey Connors. He's a fade 561 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: for me this week. Okay, A name for you, younger player, 562 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: who was this in the mix a couple of weeks ago. 563 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Who's one here before, so he has some course history 564 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: now granted on the corn Ferry Davis Riley, I think 565 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: you would like these numbers, probably one, but he's fifty 566 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: fifty two one range uh win equity? Would you would 567 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: you feel more comfortable doing a top five, a top 568 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: ten with a guy like Davis Riley? You know, I 569 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: almost think if I'm going Davis Riley, might as well 570 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: go big and take him to win it that number. 571 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: But I don't love it, and you know, it's just 572 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: a shame because again it's just a matter of the 573 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: number being too short. Again, if you you mentioned it, 574 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: if he was eighty or ninety two one this week, Yeah, 575 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: coming off a playoff loss in his last start at 576 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: a place where he's won in the past on the 577 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: corn Ferry Tour two years ago. Sure, I love Davis 578 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Riley has got a great swing. This guy is going 579 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: to be a stud very much the same thing that 580 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: we've seen Scottie Scheffler now number one in the world, 581 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: and Will's Alatorus and Sam Burns. There is no secret 582 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: formula to figuring this stuff out. These guys are all 583 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: excellent junior players, excellent collegiate players, excellent corn ferry players. 584 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: They get to the PGA Tour and maybe it doesn't 585 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: happen right away like a Jordan's Speed or Colin Morrikawa, 586 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: but at some point there will be excellent PGA Tour players. 587 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: All of that said, I will take another guy sort 588 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: of on the same trajectory this week, with a bigger 589 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: number next to his name and maybe a little bit 590 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: more ready to win, or at least on the same 591 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: level as Davis Riley. That's sa Figala, who is seventy 592 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: five to one this week. I like that number, uh 593 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: twenty five points higher than Davis Riley. And as we've 594 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: seen from Thigala, this guy I think has some win equity. 595 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: At some point he's just gonna go out and blitz 596 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: the field. We're not gonna find him at seventy five 597 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: to one in this type of field much longer, so 598 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: you might as well jump on it while you can. 599 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: You think there's something to be said about you know, 600 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 1: I know j T and Rory are a little shorter, 601 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: but Scotty's tall, figalas tall. Obviously, you know DJ has 602 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: been dominating for a long time. Some of these bigger athletes, 603 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: you know coming on the tour. Is that a trend? 604 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're at some of these tournaments, see 605 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: the younger players, the guys, the corn fairy guys to 606 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: get a shot or is that just is that random? 607 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's always you know, Ernie was big, Falta 608 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: was big. There's just always an element of that. Or 609 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: does it feel like we're trending getting guys that feel 610 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more like true pro athletes on the tour? 611 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: All right, there's a couple of parts to this. I 612 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: remember speaking with Gary Woodland. We will sit down a 613 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: few years ago and Gary said, look, I got grain 614 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: advice when I was a kid. Basically used to go 615 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: out there with my buddies and we're told ghost swing 616 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: as hard as you possibly can, and then we'll work 617 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: backwards from there. And so he's like, I I learned 618 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: to hit it far before I learned how to hit 619 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: it well, and before I learned how to be accurate. 620 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: And so he said, I I know that sounds crazy 621 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 1: to all these old school types who think, no, it's 622 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: all about ball striking. You've got to be precise. It's 623 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: not learn how to hit it far. If you can't 624 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: hit it far, you're not going to succeed on the 625 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: game's highest level. And so I think there's something to that, 626 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: and I think kids are starting to understand that. Second 627 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 1: part of it is they start working with trainers. They 628 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: start understanding how to keep their bodies in shape at 629 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: a young age. So even if it's not a kid 630 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: who's six three, even if it's someone who's five ft nine, 631 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna be in good shape. They're not gonna be 632 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: a kid who's five nine out of shape. They're gonna 633 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: understand and how to treat their bodies at a younger age. None, 634 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: I'll throw in the fact that, look, I don't know 635 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: that Sahi Gala was gonna be an outside linebacker in 636 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: high school if you didn't play golf. But at some 637 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: point we've talked so much about concussions and c t 638 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: A and other issues in other sports in contact sports 639 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: where at some point parents are gonna say to a 640 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: kid who's who's a big kid, who's athletic, who understands 641 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: how to play different sports. Hey, you're six four, two 642 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: thirty five, would you like to go get your head 643 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: bashed in playing football for four years in college and 644 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: maybe sign a contract in the NFL someday and then 645 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: go try to find a job by the time you're 646 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old if that all works out perfectly. 647 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: Or would you like to go play golf and potentially 648 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: have a career for the next thirty years and be 649 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: able to do this for the rest of your life. 650 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: And so I think there's something to having these bigger 651 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: kids gravitate towards the game of golf. And yes, we 652 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: should probably thank Tiger Woods, who nearly twenty five years 653 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: ago to this week won the Masters at the age 654 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: of one and made golf cool for a lot of 655 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: these kids moving forward. And there was a point, you know, 656 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: probably mid two thousand's one, Tiger looked like you could 657 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: play a little outside linebacker. You know, he's he got 658 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: up there, safety, strong, safety in the box. Safety These guys, 659 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, He's got the metal capacity to handle it. 660 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: You're right the size, you know, he said, I don't 661 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: know if he's quite big enough, but I appreciate it. 662 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: Sobol and talk to you soon. Thanks. Okay, let's go 663 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: to the mail bag. Go low pod at go low 664 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: Pod is the Instagram and all you have to do 665 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: is just slide into those direct messages. They're wide open. 666 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: You slide in and you get your question answer here 667 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: on the show. I heard you talking about the Formula 668 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: one Drive to Survive many times, so I started and 669 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: have been watching it for a couple of weeks. It's 670 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: way badass. I love shipped talking from the drivers and 671 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: the teams honestly shows you how cutthroat Formula one is. 672 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: Golf is very cutthroat sport. They really need to emphasize 673 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: that in the PGA dociseries. But I think they will 674 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: really capture the audience by showing the guys who are 675 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: battling every week to keep their court, to keep their card, 676 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: showing the no name guys who need the money to 677 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: finish in the top five in the ten. I'm very 678 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: interested to see what they put together for it. Also 679 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: talking about crazy California prices, how about the price of 680 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: golf now? Ever since the pandemic. My local course is 681 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: called charging more Around the days of showing up and 682 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: having the course to yourself are bye bye. It's bitter sweet. 683 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Happy to see a lot of these courses survived when 684 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: there's when they were on the verge of closing. Golf 685 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: is booming. I agree. There's some nice public courses by me, 686 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: uh in some vineyards. This course called wenty that used 687 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: to be I could play. I mean it's an upper 688 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: end public course. You know, pre COVID it was probably 689 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: know weekday would be ninety, weekend would be one ten. 690 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: Now it's like one seventy five. And I'm with you 691 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: every just random public course that was you know, thirty 692 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: is now sixty seventy. And then if you have that 693 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: eight price point, it's now one. And it just it 694 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: makes you think, right like you're you could argue, if 695 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: you can find the right club to join, you're better 696 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: off joining a club than you are playing these public courses, 697 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: because like he just mentioned, the amount of people at 698 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: these public courses is outrageous right now, I mean absolutely outrageous. 699 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: This public course by my house called Boundary Oaks. I 700 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: used to go there because as a podcaster you know 701 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: sometimes like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you know, probably past like 702 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: three or four, you know, especially in the summer, to 703 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: light out till eight. I go play by myself. I 704 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: can play eighteen holes in two hours. I used to 705 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: be able to do that, no problem. The problem is 706 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: now you go to these courses. It's just jammed. And 707 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: I hate that. I played Ustin Johnson on the weekdays. 708 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: I like moving fast, and unlike him, I don't go 709 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: slow on the putts. Have been following since the Herd 710 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: first introduced us to you, and have turned on many 711 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: friends to your work. Congrats, appreciate it. I think the 712 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: Golf Pod we need to know, John Middlecoff, what's in 713 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: the bag? Well, I have Taylor made seven ninety irons, 714 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: because like three or four years ago, I was d 715 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: M and Taylor made I d M. Everyone trying to 716 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: do a little trade. I'll give you some guy some 717 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 1: pub on social media for some clubs. Taylor Bates said, well, 718 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: how about this. We'll send you a bunch of golf 719 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: balls and we'll give you fifty off on club order. 720 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: So I orders said that Irons. I got Callaway Woods. 721 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: You know, it's probably like two or three years old. 722 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: I probably need upgrade my irons. You know, I enjoy them, 723 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: but now you know, if you're listening from Callaway, I'm 724 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: open to it. If you're listening from title list, I'm 725 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: open to it. And I think I just have title 726 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: lists wedges, But I'm not a huge like once I 727 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: find some clubs that I like, I'm not p x G. 728 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: I've always kind of been fascinated by. I've never played him, 729 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't heartbeat. You should definitely do episodes doing 730 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: whole by whole whole reviews of well known courses you 731 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: get to play. I definitely tune in for episodes on 732 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: courses I've had the chance to play. I think it 733 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: would be great content to talk honestly about courses and 734 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: how the experience is decent to the average golfer. You know. 735 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: That's I think that would probably be a better YouTube 736 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: than it would be a podcast, but I could be wrong. 737 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: The other thing is like, let's just pick a couple 738 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: of nicest courses. I've ever played Olympic Club in l 739 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: a country club. Well, I would imagine a large percentage 740 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: of my audience has never played Olympic Club. Right, Let's 741 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: just hypothetically, I said, I played like pine Hurst. How 742 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: many people have really played pine Hurst? Now, to me, 743 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: if I played a course there was on TV that 744 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: given week and then did it, maybe there would be 745 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: something there. But let's and I'm an idea guy, so 746 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: keep bringing those ideas. You might be onto something. We 747 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: might just need to uh hone that in. I've recently 748 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: started playing daily fantasy for the PGA Tour on DraftKings. 749 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: We're Fandel, but you know, Fandel does do where I 750 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: can pick a line up with six golfers, and I'm 751 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: looking for better ways to pick players. When you make 752 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: your picks, how much weight do you put into course history, 753 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: recent results, statistics or do you just kind of go 754 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: with your gut. After watching Kissner dominate this weekend, it 755 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: makes me feel like I need to put more emphasis 756 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: on course history. I think course history is huge. I 757 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: put more emphasis on course history than I do on 758 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: form with good players. Now, if you get good players 759 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: with good course history, they're playing well. It's a no brainer. 760 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: But it's hard when a guy does not have course history, 761 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: like Bryson D. Shambo, you can't touch him at the Masters. 762 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: But like the Masters, you will be able to get 763 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: guys who have played well. They're like I think Brian 764 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: Harman's played well there, Charlie Hoffman. Look up guys over 765 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: the last decade that have had success. If you can 766 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: get Adam Scott right, you know, at you're gonna need 767 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 1: some of those guys he's won it before, or Bubba 768 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: who's not playing that great but he's comfortable there. Sergio. 769 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: So course, history to me is very very important. Waste 770 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: management at out the Florida Swing, at Pebble Beach, at 771 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: Rivieria at you know, obviously Augusta St. Andrews will be 772 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: one coming up later this summer. I don't even know 773 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: where the US Open is actually, I don't even know 774 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: whether the PJA Championship. I haven't even looked. I was 775 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: pulling for Scotty all weekend. Watching him go from about 776 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: to blow it to pulling it out, playing off to 777 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: winning and ranked number one in the world after the 778 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: last year was really great story to watch. Worth the 779 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: top ten five bet at Augusta. Also check out Severance 780 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: on Apple TV. You will love it or hate it. 781 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: So many questions could be taken uh years to play out. Yeah, 782 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's gonna be a sexy pick 783 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: to win it, but it's basically impossible if your name 784 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: is not Woods to win three times in forty days 785 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: and then when the master's for your fourth win. So 786 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 1: I would say the likelihood of winning it would probably 787 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: the odds are just against you in any golf tournament, 788 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: but I would feel very good about putting a top 789 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: ten bet on him. The problem is his odds have 790 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: gone up so dramatically that you don't even get him 791 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: very cheap. That'd be That'd be my issue. You just 792 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, I bet top ten for Scottie Scheffler when 793 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: the books put it all up next week two to 794 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: one maybe maybe might be like one and a half. 795 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm a Texas and lump and became a huge Scottie 796 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: Scheffler fan. Obviously, speech got all the hype coming out 797 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: of ut and his first few years on tour justifiably. 798 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: So I know speed this close to a career Grand Slam, 799 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: but I think we can both agree he may never 800 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: be the same. If you had to bet who is 801 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: the better all time player? Are you taking Scottie or 802 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: Jordan's Speed? Well, to put it into perspective, because I 803 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: think we do this a lot in golf, right after 804 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: a guy has a couple of wins, we go, Scottie 805 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: Scheffler is going to have a better career than Jordan's speed. 806 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: And you just gotta rattle off some of Jordan's accomplishments 807 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: because they're pretty remarkable. And I think we talked about 808 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: Jordan's speak like he's my age. He's twenty eight years old. 809 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: Now he's won the Masters, he's won the US Open, 810 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 1: and he's won the Open Championship, and he's also finished 811 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 1: runner up in the PGA Championship. So he's been the 812 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, he's been the PJA 813 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 1: Player of the Year, he's letting money list, he's won 814 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: the FedEx Championship. He's obviously you know he could win. 815 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: He's I would say he probably wins another Master's uh is. 816 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever won the Players, but he 817 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: finished like and for example, last year he finished second 818 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: across the pond at the Open. He finished third at 819 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: the Masters. That was just last year. So I wouldn't 820 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, you're just on the Ryder Cup. I wouldn't 821 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: count Jordan out yet, Scottie Scheffler. And here's the other 822 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 1: thing about Jordan's. Jordan has twelve career PGA Tour wins, twelve. 823 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: Now Scott's twenty four years old, but he's got three. 824 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: He has to four x his win total to get 825 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: to Jordan's. If Jordan's career ended tomorrow, if he just 826 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: went off in the sunset with his wife, his family 827 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: has had some more babies, He's had a Hall of 828 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: Fame career, three major championships. I mean, he's Jordan's speeds 829 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: a fucking legend, But I would say moving forward. If 830 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: I had a bet on a horse, I take Scottie. 831 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening.
