1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? The long awaited

2
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: return of the Go Low podcast. It's hard to mix

3
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: in golf talk when football is going on. I know

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: where my bread is buttered and where the most people listen.

5
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: But I love the PGA Tour. I love golf in general,

6
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: whether it's playing it, gambling on it, talking about it.

7
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: And I haven't touched the club in like two months.

8
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: I think I might go hit balls either today or tomorrow.

9
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Playing this Friday. So where I live it's starting to

10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: get sunny again and golf season is in full swing.

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of golf so far this early

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: on in the season, so I am excited to talk

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: about it. Here's the drill will be once a week

14
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: obviously this one. I just have some big picture thoughts

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: on the state of the game, what happened last week

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: and uh with Ledwig winning, as well as just a

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: couple other little tidbits here and there.

18
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: But overall, my hope is from a podcast standpoint to

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: this year, get some guys on the podcast, whether it

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: be people in the business.

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Uh, I know some people that work with apparel industries

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: that represent golf. Uh, you know people on the PGA

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: tour players potentially caddies. I saw Brandal Shamblee today at

24
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: the gym, seeing him a bunch, and I talked to him.

25
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of you know, from Bones, Phil's

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: old caddy caddy for J T. Jeff Ogilvie. I see

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: these guys. It's gotta gotta be a salesman when we're

28
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, mid sweat, and UH find a way to

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: pitch them to come on the show. Which you know,

30
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Branda was really really cool. Uh. We talked to Little Ludwig.

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, our hope is to expand this operation as

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: well as shoot a bunch of golf videos this this year.

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: And I already got Dontrell Willis, the lefty from the

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Florida Marlins, who actually lives right down the street from me.

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: We uh, hopefully you're gonna do that sometime soon. I

36
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: got to hit him up. I know he's been traveling,

37
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: but to just play with some people, maybe play with

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: some pros, play with some athletes, play with just I've

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: done it with myself for the YouTube channel. So that

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of the game plan. Very fluid. I mean,

41
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: we can, we can pivot at any moment. But I

42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: love golf. I say it all the time. I like golf.

43
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: My relationship with golf is so much different than football

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: because I don't tackle anybody right. I'm not, you know,

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: kicking out the defensive end where I used to play

46
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: right guard in the wing t offense for the Davis

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Hye Blue Devils. But I play golf and it's the

48
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: one sport which I think which is awesome to see

49
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: its explosion and its interest. I guess we could just

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: start there. I think I feel a lot like when

51
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: I hear people that cover the NBA that discuss their sport,

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: whose ratings are plummeting over the course of the last

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: i don't know, six seven years and are not doing

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: very well right now, yet all these people still watch

55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: it and love it. Like you don't hear Brian Windhorst

56
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: or Bill Simmons go just because other people are watching,

57
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch. And I feel that way about golf,

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: like I love watching PGA golf. I love watching pros

59
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: play at Torrey Pines at riv the players coming up

60
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: obviously the majors, but I will watch the Mexico Open.

61
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: I also like to gamble on it. But like I'm

62
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: in the business of talking about things that are popular,

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: talking about things that are entertaining to the masses, and

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm not an idiot. Like, overall, the sport from the

65
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: professional level is in a really, really bad spot and

66
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: it sucks right Yet the game itself, more people in

67
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five are playing golf than have ever played

68
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: the sport, and it's not even close. The popularity of

69
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: YouTube golf is just growing exponentially by the month. I

70
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: am a consumer of that. It's why I wanted to

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: get into the business of doing it myself. I love

72
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Bob does sports. They can't produce a video and I

73
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: can't watch it fast enough. I mean, I consume all

74
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: their shit. I watch Grant play all these guys Grant

75
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of admiration for the business

76
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: that these guys have built. I don't really watch that

77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: much good good stuff, but I have nothing but respect

78
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: for everything that they have done. I've watched a lot

79
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: of the Brian Bros. Like, what Bryson has done is incredible.

80
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: It is awesome to watch his I've watched him play

81
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: with Tony Roma, I've watched him play with Tom Brady.

82
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: He's just I've watched him try to break, you know,

83
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: the course record at random Muni's around Texas or in Florida.

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: He's just really good. He's just very, very entertaining. In

85
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: the state of golf on the Internet from that standpoint

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: of quote unquote YouTube golf and these creators is its

87
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: own little world. And these guys, obviously Bryson, but you

88
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: remove him, these people, you know, starting with I mean,

89
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: we have salespeople at the volume that used to work

90
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: at Barstool, Like the deal and the money that they

91
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: make Taylor Made is pretty crazy. A couple of years ago,

92
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: when I was playing at mesa country club with some

93
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: people in the golfing business, one of them works for

94
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Made, and he was saying the amount of money

95
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and product that they push is stupid.

96
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: And you have.

97
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: Seen these companies get in bed with Barstool Sports, with

98
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Grant Horvat, with with Bob Does Sports, and it has

99
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: been a lucrative proposition for them, you know, in terms

100
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: of are they better off going with them or like

101
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick? And I'm pro Dan Patrick, but I know

102
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: who I'd want to be in business with. So the

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: popularity of the sport at the casual recreational level is

104
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: absolutely booming. I mean I live probably ten less than

105
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: ten minutes away from TPC Scottsdale where they just hosted

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the waste management I'm probably a five minute walk of

107
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: two minute drive to Greyhawk and probably fifteen to twenty

108
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: minutes away from True North, which I would consider those

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: three the three most popular and definitely probably the most famous.

110
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue Quintero or Weikapa. I mean

111
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: there are a couple other ones public courses in Arizona

112
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: which I would consider a hub, and honestly, in terms

113
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: of the West Coast, I'd say this in Florida are

114
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: the most popular golf destinations. And these places are charging

115
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: over five hundred dollars during the winter months when our

116
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: weather is seventy five degrees to play golf. And when

117
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: I first moved here, I complained about it all the time.

118
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, that is fucking insane.

119
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm not paying, after taxes, five hundred and seventy five

120
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: dollars to play Greyhawk. And then you would look at

121
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the t sheet and it would be packed. Same thing

122
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: for Truon and obviously same thing for TPC. So it's

123
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: like I could complain about it, but that is not

124
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: only the going rate. People are paying constantly. It's why

125
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: it would force me to join TPC. And honestly, I've

126
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: looked into like private clubs around here. They are it's

127
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: insane how expensive it is. I mean the sweet country

128
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: clubs are well over five hundred grand. I would call

129
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: an average club around here is one hundred and fifty

130
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I mean where

131
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I come from. When I joined a place in the

132
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Bay Area which was pretty nice, Castlewood, my buy in

133
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: as a junior member was fifteen hundred dollars. The club

134
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: my brother's at in Davis, California, which is a nice

135
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: country club. I think the bidens like ten k. So

136
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: it is extremely expensive and people are paying. But you

137
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: couldn't charge these rates if people aren't willing to pay

138
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: to play golf or join your club. So the popularity

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: is insane. Yet the ratings when you watch pro golf

140
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: is not good, and it clearly leads leads back to

141
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: the live situation and then stealing the players paying for

142
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: the players to join their league. And I never blamed

143
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: any of them because anyone putting one hundred thousand dollars

144
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty or one hundred million dollars, one

145
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars, two hundred million dollars in

146
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: front of your face. It's easy for everyone on the

147
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: outside to judge these individuals. I mean, if no one

148
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: cares anymore. But at the time, I probably would have

149
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: taken the money too, you know. Now it's been very

150
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: lucrative for the guys that stayed as well, especially the

151
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: top guys, because guys like Scotti and Ory have been

152
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: winning and finishing high the most, meaning they've made more

153
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: money over a tour that is losing.

154
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't.

155
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't pencil what they are paying these players, but

156
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: they had to up their purses to keep these guys

157
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: from leaving. So it's just completely all out of whack.

158
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: But the business model was always kind of fucked up. Right,

159
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: when I turn on the Bill's chiefs, I never have

160
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: to worry about Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes being like,

161
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: you know what, Mahomes just took this week off. He

162
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: just he just flew back to Dallas and he's just

163
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: are and are He's just hanging out with the fam.

164
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: He's just kicking it right, that happens all the time

165
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: in golf, and before Live it happened honestly, way too much.

166
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: You would turn on it's like, oh yeah, Tiger's taking

167
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: the next two weeks off. Oh yeah, DJ and Koepka

168
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: are playing this week. You're like, what, That's not how

169
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: any of these other sports operate. Now In the NBA,

170
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: guys just don't play, but they're supposed to. They just

171
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, choose rest. I'm over And it's been a

172
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: huge problem for the NBA. Honestly, it's been a disaster

173
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: for their business model. Not necessarily they've actually made more

174
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: with TV rights, but the TV companies their revenue in

175
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: terms of what they can sell advertising because they're way

176
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: less people watching. It's a problem and I don't necessarily

177
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: know how golf fixes that because uh, it's just never

178
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: going to be a situation where I can't imagine when

179
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: this reunification happens. And listen Tiger Woods, whose mother just passed,

180
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: which it's kind of when you have someone as famous

181
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: as Tiger Woods, it feels like you know him way

182
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: better than you actually know him. But like part of

183
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: Tiger to at least me who grew up on him,

184
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: and I would say him and Michael Jordan are easily

185
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: my two favorite athletes of all time. I don't even

186
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: think there's a close third, and I think both of

187
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: them are going to go down as I would argue

188
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: probably two of the most famous, the two most famous

189
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: athletes of my life. I mean they were famous pre Internet.

190
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: When they're famous, like if you're are you Michael Jackson famous?

191
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: Are you like eighties Mike Tyson famous, be like to

192
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Houston famous, or are you like Internet famous, Which doesn't

193
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: mean you can't profit and become a megastar, but it

194
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: was different, like the fame of Michael Jordan in the

195
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: nineties or Tiger Woods in the late nineties early two

196
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: thousands does feel a little bit different. And when you

197
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: talked about Tiger Woods, you always talked about his father, Earl,

198
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: who was just always around. But like if you follow

199
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: Tiger really closely and as he got older, listened to

200
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: him talk like his mother played a massive role in

201
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: his life. And honestly, you know Earl, you know Tiger

202
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: got somethings running around from pops, like his mom was

203
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: extremely serious. And Tiger mentioned this when he was sitting

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: with Jim Nantz, like she was on my ass about

205
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: academics and getting good grades. And honestly, as Tiger became

206
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: a star started making a lot of money, a huge

207
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: part of his foundation is giving back to education to

208
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: young people. It's huge interwoven into his life. And when

209
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: you think about Tiger Woods, to me, the number one

210
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: thing you think about that defines like the Tiger Woods experience,

211
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: like the talent that it's like the insane discipline and

212
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: all these players over the years about how he's in

213
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: the gym earlier than them. Uh, just he's just a

214
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: workout fiend. He's a practice fiend. I mean, he's just maniacal.

215
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: And unlike Michael who listen, I can relate to more,

216
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, drinker, smoker, gambler. Not saying Tiger doesn't participate

217
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: in those, but you know, you watch Michael as he's

218
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: gotten older, like kind of got big. You know, you

219
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: watch Tiger, it looks like he's still in the gym

220
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: multiple hours a day. And Michael, if he had been

221
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: injured like Tiger, I mean, he'd probably be fearm pounds.

222
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: You know.

223
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: Tiger's will to just grind, and I do think he

224
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: gets that from his mother, and you know when she

225
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: passed away was now two weeks ago. I think it

226
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: was pretty jolting because or jarring because just a couple

227
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of weeks ago at the TGL, the thing that they

228
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: him and Rory created for ESPN, she was just there like, look,

229
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, my mom's in her mid seventies, just looked

230
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: like a normal older lady, sitting with Charlie and kind

231
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: of the Woods crew, and then all of a sudden,

232
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: she's dead. So when Tiger had to pull out of

233
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: his own tournament last week, just like it's too soon, listen,

234
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: we don't know, and Tiger can be very secretive about stuff,

235
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: and I don't blame him in terms of this situation,

236
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: but I do think it's fair to assume, like, was

237
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: it a little out of the blue because no one

238
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: had that vibe when she was there, kind of like

239
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: making fun of him when Tiger was sucking it up

240
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: on TGL. But you know, speaking to Tiger, I think

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: one of the issues I have with the big picture

242
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: of the sport and this quote unquote bringing everyone back together,

243
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: which feels inevitable. I mean, obviously live they had a

244
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: television product that had twelve thousand people watching. Now it

245
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: was tape delayed, and they finally did a deal with Fox,

246
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: but still they had an event where twelve thousand people watched.

247
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: It is not going that well, not in the not

248
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: from the player standpoint. They are making historic amount of money,

249
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: not just with signing bonuses. But Joaquin Neeman, who went

250
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: over there a couple of years ago, has already made

251
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars on Live. I mean, Taylor Gooch

252
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: I think is well over forty the money. I mean,

253
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: it changed people's lives, you know, Paparez made. Paparez made

254
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: more money in three years playing on Live than he

255
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: ever did in the PGA Tour for twenty plus years.

256
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: So we speak of Dustin Johnson and Phil and Bryson

257
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: and Keepka and these guys that got you know, NBA,

258
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: NFL level contracts. But some of these guys that just

259
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: got five or ten million to go and then had

260
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: some success and won some tournaments and just finished some

261
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: top tens. They printed cash there. But the only reason

262
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: he disrupted this is because he wanted a part of

263
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour and the PJ Tour wouldn't listen to him.

264
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: And now once they were forced to, they kind of

265
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: created this role for Tiger who, let's face it feels

266
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: he's acting like I don't know, I don't know if

267
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: he's quite the CEO, but he's like a board member

268
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: and someone that has a lot of pull in this situation.

269
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: And I've been saying this all season long about Tom Brady.

270
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I respect the shit out of Tom Brady. I admire

271
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: everything he stands for in terms of how much he

272
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: how driven he was, how much effort he put in.

273
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Obviously from a competitive standpoint, clearly how great he was

274
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: on the field, but all the intangible stuff made him

275
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: the greatest player of all time and one of the

276
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: most famous athletes in the history of American sports. But

277
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: then you put him on television. I was not shocked.

278
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: He wasn't good. Like, how would Tom Brady know what

279
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: good television is?

280
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Like?

281
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: How could he compete against me and you to like

282
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: entertain us. I've been consuming for thirty five plus years.

283
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm a consumer. Tom's a player, and for twenty five

284
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: plus years college and pro, he played on Saturdays and Sundays.

285
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he didn't watch football and off days

286
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, but he didn't look at it from our perspective.

287
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what's entertaining. And I think about that

288
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: from the Tiger Woods perspective. Tiger Woods knows if his

289
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: body's healthy, how to dominate and how to practice, how

290
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: to prepare for a tournament, how to compete in that tournament,

291
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: how if he has a chance to win, how to

292
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: close out that tournament. You could argue there's no one

293
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: that's ever been better. Only Jack could even have a

294
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: conversation about a guy that can, you know, won as

295
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: many majors. But just in terms of pure dominance, it's incredible.

296
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: But Tiger Woods is kind of like Michael Jordan. They're

297
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: so famous, they're so big, they kind of live in

298
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: a different world than all of us. And the product

299
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: just isn't that great on television. And I understand NBC,

300
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of shit. They don't take it

301
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: as seriously. Let's say, is Sunday Night Football, Well, of

302
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: course they don't. The NFL makes them a lot more

303
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: money and more people watch, so you take things more seriously,

304
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: especially in business that I view more revenue. Very understandable,

305
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: but like, how does Tiger Woods know what is a

306
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: good golf tournament? And not in terms of an entertainment standpoint?

307
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: He knows a good course setup, what a good field

308
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: will look like. Yeah, I mean I could tell you

309
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: what a good field will look like, but just in

310
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: terms of the entertainment standpoint, so you could bring all

311
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: these guys back together. Is it going to change anything?

312
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: Now?

313
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: I've always defended golf coverage, which takes a lot of

314
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: shit in the golf ecosystem of people that talk about

315
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: the sport. It is not like football, right where when

316
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: someone's playing, you watch, and when there's a break, a timeout,

317
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: change a quarter, you just go to commercial golf. I

318
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: mean a tournament even Saturday and Sunday after a cut,

319
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: you have people all over the course. You have people

320
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: hitting shots consistently at the same time, guys that are leading,

321
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: guys that are behind, guys that are chasing. Like it

322
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: is impossible to show everything. It literally is. And when

323
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: you pay more money than something is worth, the only

324
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: way to make that even close to pencil is to

325
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: force an ads. And when you watch golf tournaments, there

326
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: are just more ads than any other sporting event you

327
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: will ever watch. There's not like that in basketball. It's

328
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: not like that in baseball. It's not like that in football.

329
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: But there are specific ins and outs of the action,

330
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: and that's just not true in golf. So I do

331
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: think it's you're never gonna get a perfect situation of like, oh,

332
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you just satiated all of our appetites. You showed every

333
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: shot I wanted to see. I saw a couple guys

334
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: on the cut line Friday, I saw everyone in the

335
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: mix because a lot of times you'll be like, wait,

336
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: that guy just finished third. I watched the entire round Sunday,

337
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: and I didn't see him hit a shot happens all

338
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: the time, you would never go you know what, Ceedee

339
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Lamb had seven catches. I only saw two of them, right,

340
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: That just would not happen. And I think you have

341
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: all these guys that play the sport for a living,

342
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: and who are I mean Tiger's It's like he can't

343
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: even relate to the good golfers on the PGA too,

344
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: even the guys that are involved in it. How do

345
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: they have any comprehension of what entertains us? Besides just

346
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: they're playing like Tiger playing entertains me, but just in

347
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: terms of what a good broadcast, how getting the business

348
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: back together? How like what happens with cuts? No cuts?

349
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: They got no clue. I mean, they really don't. And

350
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate all these guys that have written letters, justin

351
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: Thomas Max Homa has been really aggressive trying to, you know,

352
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: just help out the broadcast partners. But I just think

353
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of trial and error going on. At

354
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day. The most important thing in

355
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: a sport that is niche that this is not. It's

356
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: never gonna be a top two or three sport in America,

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: even though more people, especially if they continue to play,

358
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: will actually the sport then watch the sport. And though

359
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: in theory, like in basketball, baseball, and football, why they

360
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: have been big my whole life is because most young

361
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: boys at one point in time probably play little league,

362
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: probably play on a basketball team. Even a large percentage

363
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: of people just play high school football. Even if you

364
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: don't actually play, you're just on the team. So if

365
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: that continues to grow, having your product be good is

366
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: really important because these people will watch. And I just

367
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: think that there's also a big part of this story.

368
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: And I saw Adam Scott had a comment of like,

369
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: there will be bitterness when these guys return, and it's

370
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: why Rory McElroy is taking a lot of shit because

371
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: he's basically changed his tune saying, listen, it happened, it's over.

372
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: We got to welcome these guys back, and people like

373
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: Adam Scott and I'm just gonna I'm not saying all

374
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: these individuals fall into this category. Jordan Speek, Justin Thomas

375
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: just named famous guys. Tony Fenow could have made fifty

376
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: one hundred hundred and fifty million dollars if they would

377
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: have left three or four years ago, but they chose

378
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: not to. Like, I'm sorry, that was your choice. You

379
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: made a decision to stay. So you're being bitter that

380
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: whoever went and got one hundred million dollars got one

381
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. They took the risk. That's

382
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: kind of what business is all about. I mean, a

383
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: huge reason a large percentage of rich people that did

384
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: not inherit their money are rich is because they took

385
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: massive risks at one point in time in their life.

386
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: And while it worked out, there has been a large

387
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: percentage of people did not get to that point because

388
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: their risk failed. And luckily for these guys like they

389
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: still ended up making a lot of money. So I

390
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: don't want to hear like, yeah, we're bitter, we're pissed off.

391
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: No one gives a fuck, No one cares at this

392
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: point in time. You decided to stay, and I commend

393
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: you for that. That was your decision. You stood on

394
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: whatever more stance you had, whatever belief you had in

395
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: the tour, and I got no problem with that. But

396
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: I never had a problem with the guy leaving. And

397
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: if you want your business to continue, which is the

398
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: only thing that should matter, you just gotta let these

399
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: guys back like you're not finding them, you're not making

400
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: them work their way back. I'm sorry. They played their hand.

401
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: You played your hand and we got a result. And

402
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: now if these guys are gonna come back together, like

403
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: the bitterness and listen, I don't blame anyone for quote

404
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: unquote being bitter or mad, but to think that they

405
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: should be fined or like if Bryson D. Chambeau wants

406
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: to just come back and play fifteen events, I'm sorry

407
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: he's playing fifteen events. If Brooks Keepka goes, hey, I'm

408
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: not gonna play fifteen events, but I'll play seven Brooks.

409
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Come on in, buddy, John Rahm, what do you want

410
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: to play? You pick your schedule. Welcome to play wherever

411
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: you want. You need those guys, and that's where we're

412
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: at because you know, tennis, forever, I would say, has

413
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: had less guys at the top than golf. It's had

414
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: usually two or three, and for the most part, you

415
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: get very lucky. There's so much better than everyone else.

416
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: It felt like ninety percent of the tournaments with Federer,

417
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: with Djokovic, with Nadal, it happened with Agasy and Sampris forever,

418
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: that they're just gonna be in at minimum the final

419
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: four of every Grand Slam, in every major tournament. Golf's

420
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: a little more random, like you can just have a

421
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: shitty Thursday and I'll not make the cut. But you

422
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: are very, very dependent, like Tiger's done now, like he's

423
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: never coming back and playing like that. Those days are over.

424
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: He might play a tournament here, tournament there, but his

425
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: impact as a player is over.

426
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: Like it's done.

427
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: So you need and the tour has been lucky. Scottis

428
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: Scheffler's gone on like a two year historic run. Rory

429
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: McElroy has played some of the best golf of his

430
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: career over the last couple of years. Ludvig has thrown

431
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: his hat in the ring of like, yeah, I'm pretty sweet.

432
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: So you've had one of the most famous great players

433
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: of all time in Rory the Shooting Star had a

434
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: season that paralleled like Tiger Woods, and this young guy

435
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: who looks like a model who just plays like perfect

436
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: golf just kind of hit the scene because if you

437
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: just would have had some randomness like Jordan Speace's risk

438
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Justin Thomas wasn't very good last year. Max

439
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: Homa fell off a cliff. So it's like, you got

440
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys like I love Adeki, but I

441
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: don't know if Adeci can just carry your sport. So

442
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: you need you got two or three guys who are

443
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: just rockstar, superstar Hall of famers who are playing elite golf.

444
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: You need to bring Bryson Brooks and John ronback and

445
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: then like unlike some of these other individual sports, you

446
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: can have random players win golf tournaments like that can

447
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: be really exciting. It's like John Middlecoff just took down

448
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy. That happened forever, like guys beating Tiger and

449
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Phil or Jack and Arnie or Nick Faldo or Greg Norman.

450
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: But you need those guys there as well, And that's

451
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: part of the problem. Sometimes you turn on these tournaments

452
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not count this week, but the fields are

453
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: shitting now. And Rory and Scottie have really taken advantage

454
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: of the last couple of years. I mean, Scotti Scheffler

455
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: made on the course over sixty million dollars last year,

456
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Xander Schoffley won multiple majors, almost made thirty million dollars

457
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: on the course. I mean, these guys are getting paid

458
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: like Ceedee lamb Right or T J. Watt, Scotti, Scheffer's

459
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: getting paid like he's Lebron James Luka Dancic, like it's

460
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: this is so it's like, yeah, you turn down some

461
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: money staying, but you've profited the top guys Xander, Rory

462
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: and Scotty they have printed money. But I just I'm

463
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: nervous about whatever this thing's gonna look like, how this

464
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: is gonna go. I think anytime you have these big egos,

465
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: super rich guys, you know, in an individual sport unlike football,

466
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: like football guys are I told Colin this a couple

467
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Football players are used to getting yelled at,

468
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: You're used to being humbled. You're just this isn't like

469
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: everyone's kissing your ass twenty four to seven. If you're

470
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: a good player, you are you are pushed or I

471
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: would say criticized, might be strong, but held accountable on

472
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: a weekly basis when you walk into the building by

473
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: a position coach, by a coordinator, by the head coach,

474
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: then of course by the media, by your teammates. Like

475
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: it's just an intense environment. Sometimes it's a golfer. It's like,

476
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: no one's telling me shit. I mean, what was the

477
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: last time someone you know really said something to Tiger.

478
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: That made him uncomfortable?

479
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen a lot. It hasn't happened a lot. It

480
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: hasn't happened for twenty five years. Where you know Mahomes

481
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: and he's probably already given him ten pointers after the

482
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: Super Bowl of things that we could have done better.

483
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: And I just it's gonna be interesting how this all

484
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: shakes out.

485
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,160

513
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: Now on the bright side, I mentioned this earlier, but

514
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: I see this. I've seen him at the gym probably

515
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: like six or seven times. I am a huge Brandal

516
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Chambly fan, and I think what I love about an

517
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: analyst is you can be twofold. You can be the

518
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: John Madden John Gruden, you could be kind of like

519
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: an uplifting entertainer. Now, if you watch John Madden and

520
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: John Gruden, they weren't shitting on that many guys. They

521
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: were more just entertainers. And then you get like Troy Aikman,

522
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: who you watch Troy post like the Romo entrance into

523
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: that world. Troy's stepped up his game and I would

524
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: say he, by four of all the top cats, is

525
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: the most critical and he will just blast coordinators, coaches, players.

526
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: He will just let which which is my style. I like,

527
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm a John Madden Gruden guy. Those guys entertain me.

528
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: But I do like when you see something obviousespecially when

529
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm gambling on it, for you just to let it rip.

530
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: And I think Brandle's great at that. He just he

531
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: will be very critical, where I think a lot of

532
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: people in this business are just scared to be and

533
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't apologize for it, and I don't agree

534
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: with everything he says, but he is I think he's

535
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: elite at his job, elite. And I've seen him at

536
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: the gym sometimes, like I gotta say something to him,

537
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: and I'm just soaked in sweat on the StairMaster, trying

538
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: to be less fat, and he walks by a couple times,

539
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: and eventually I just kind of say something about Ludwig's

540
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: swing and he stops and we talk for a minute,

541
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: and he was just like, because I essentially said, I'm

542
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna go to the driving range the next couple days

543
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: and try to emulate whatever that guy's doing, He's like,

544
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: good luck. He's like, if you figure it out, hit

545
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: me up. And I think sometimes when you see a

546
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: young player, you just know it right away.

547
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: You're like, I.

548
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that.

549
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: I remember in his first year watching Shoho Tane hit

550
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: a double, and I remember when he turned first and

551
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: started going to second, and I was like, this guy's

552
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: running faster than every player in the big leagues. I

553
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was six or five and could run

554
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: like a deer, and he hits bombs and he pitches.

555
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Remember the first year once they traded Alex Smith and

556
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes started. I think his first game of his career

557
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: was against the San Diego Chargers at the time, and

558
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: it was like, holy shit, is this Brett Favre reincarnated?

559
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: And you just know it right away. I think Ludvig

560
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: kind of falls under that category, and I think sometimes

561
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: you got to be careful in golf. It's such a

562
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: challenging game. You go through so many ebbs and flows.

563
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Your swing can change as you get older, so it's

564
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: hard to make like definitive statements about guy's career. But

565
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: when you see a guy six three sixty four whose

566
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: swing looks exactly the same every time he takes it

567
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: back and pulls the trigger, who plays gets over a

568
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: shot and pulls the trigger within the blink of an

569
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: eye and hits the ball like Bryce and d Chambeau level,

570
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: deep and straight as an arrow, It's like, I just

571
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: don't see this guy failing. And I got a good

572
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: buddy that works at Adida's Golf who's a big part

573
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: of kind of their operation and was telling me about

574
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: this guy three years ago, and he's like, he's just

575
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: he's what you consider like an all time blue chipper.

576
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: And sometimes you see that in sports, like when a

577
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck comes out looks like Cooper Flag. I don't

578
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: know if even he falls under that category, but just

579
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: like this is just a can't miss And I hate

580
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: that term in the NFL draft because there's no such thing.

581
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: But every once in a while, there are certain type

582
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: players that like, yeah, if he doesn't get injured, like

583
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, if he doesn't get injured, like he's a

584
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: camp miss player. Miles Garrett coming out can't miss player,

585
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: it's rare in golf, But like that is Ledvig. He's

586
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: just a can't miss player. And he's been on the

587
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: tour for like less than two years. He came on

588
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty three, so his first

589
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: season on the PGA Tour was in twenty twenty four. Now,

590
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: like I just said, because of live, these fields aren't

591
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: as deep, right, even random guys like Carlos Ortiz or

592
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, Jaukee Neeman's really really good and when they reunify,

593
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: he'll be one of the better young players on the

594
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. But DJ's kind of mailed it in. But

595
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Brooks, the ROMs, you just go through

596
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: all these guys that would just add to a field,

597
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: make it harder to to not just win top tens,

598
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: top twenties, make cuts. In his first first full season

599
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, he played twenty events, he made

600
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: eighteen cuts, and of those eighteen cuts, eight of them

601
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: he finished in the top ten, and eight of those

602
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: top tens, five of those were in the top five.

603
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: So his first full season on tour, especially the first

604
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: half of the year, never having played some of these courses,

605
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: it's like, holy shit. And you watch him early on

606
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: in this season, you know, he's four for four. Now,

607
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: granted the century he didn't have a cut and a

608
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: smaller field, but he finished fifth. But you watch him

609
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: the other day. Honestly, a couple weeks ago when they

610
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: were at the when it was just the Regula Tory

611
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Pines tournament, he was winning and then he got Listen,

612
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: I've been sick twice in the last three months. He

613
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: just got like he started puking on the course. You

614
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: can't convince me if he just had been healthy. I

615
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: don't know if he wins, but he's a lock two

616
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 1: or three. And that's the thing with him. It's like,

617
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, hoblind came on the scene. It was like

618
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: this guy is going to dominate, and it turns out

619
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: like he just tinkers. I do that a lot, Like

620
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: I've changed my grip, I changed my swing path. I'm

621
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: just constantly thinking of like different arm angles. Sometimes I

622
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: play well, sometimes I don't, but I can never stop

623
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: really tinkering. What's his name? Hank Haney wrote about it

624
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: in his book about Tiger. Tiger was a sneaky, big

625
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: tinker and sometimes you had to get him back on path. Ludvig,

626
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing even a tinker with. His swing's just pretty

627
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: like a to B two C and it's just straight

628
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: and long. His putting is not I wouldn't call him

629
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: Steve Stricker, but holy shit, when you hit that close

630
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: all the time, you're not gonna miss. So I'm just

631
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: watching the guy I go. I had. I took a

632
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I had one thousand dollars in my account.

633
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: I just spread it around on Tory Pines and I

634
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: hit one of like five bets. So I placed like

635
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: four or two hundred fift dollars bets, and I put

636
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars on Tony feen Out to finish in

637
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: the top five, and I got kind of lucky. He

638
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: birdied seventeen. Then he birdied eighteen to finish tied for fifth.

639
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: So I turned one thousand dollars into fifteen hundred, so

640
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I made five hundred bucks. And I immediately put one

641
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on Ludwig two win the Players. Last year

642
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: was the first time he'd ever been in the Players.

643
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: He finished eighth, which the Players also because of live

644
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: is not as good of a field. And I also

645
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: put five hundred dollars on him to win the Masters,

646
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: where last year he finished second in the first he's

647
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: played in four majors. Because last year was the first

648
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: year he's ever played majors. He finished second at Augusta.

649
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: He missed a couple of cuts, and he also finished

650
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: t twelve at the Open. Like I think he's a

651
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: lock this year to finish at minimum. I would say

652
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: top five in one of the majors. I'd be shocked.

653
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: If he doesn't have multiple top tens. Can he win it?

654
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to win majors, but he feels like a lock,

655
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't think he's done winning this year, and

656
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: last year he had a knee injury. This year he's

657
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: been sick. If he's healthy, which right now he clearly is.

658
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: Like who's better than him? Scotti Schafflin, Okay, who's on

659
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: one of the great runs of all time? Roy McElroy,

660
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: who has found like the second iteration of his prime

661
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Xander who has like a rib injury. Okay, I'll give

662
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: you that. You know, Bryce in his world rankings a

663
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: little off because he plays on LIV but obviously one

664
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: of the best players and one of the most unique

665
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: talents we've ever seen. Okay, I would say John Robb

666
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: but ever since he went to Livy finally fell off

667
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: a cliff. But when Rom's right, like that's the crew

668
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: he's with, Like that's his crew, that's who he's rolling with.

669
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: Like j T can't hold this guy's jock. Jordan Speith

670
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: would die to be this good. Even good American players

671
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: like Tony Feenow and Wyndham Clark, none of them are

672
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: this good. So I think I say it all the time,

673
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: like I watch sports for the best players and the

674
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: two sports which obviously I watched the most.

675
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 3: Are football in golf.

676
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: I love golf, and I fell in love in golf

677
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: not just because I played it, because watching Tiger Woods play.

678
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I fell in love with football, like growing up watching

679
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: Steve Young, watching Troy Aikman, watching Barry Sanders, you know,

680
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: Brett Fahr to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. And that's

681
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: like what I love about Levick. That's why I love

682
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: about the NFL drafts, Like Abdul Carter, it feels like,

683
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, he's going to be an elite

684
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: NFL player. Like that, what he does translates, and that's

685
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: what I feel about Ludvig. And we're already seeing it

686
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: happen last but not least before we get into Uh,

687
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it at golo Pod, at Golopod Mailbag.

688
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it every week, So fire into those

689
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: dms to get your questions answered here on the show.

690
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: I did want to hit my Mexico Open, which I've

691
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: hit a decent amount of just outrights over my couple

692
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: of year PJ Tour gambling career. One of them was

693
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: last year Jake Napp I think he was like thirty

694
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: to one. Maybe I bet fifty bucks. I think got

695
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: won fifteen hundred. Maybe I won two thousand, and I'd

696
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: have to go back and look. But I hit him

697
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: and he's been playing really well. So this is one

698
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: of those tournaments that listen, nobody's playing in the betting

699
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: favorite is ax Sha Batilla. Uh so, who's good player.

700
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: But you know we have former winners like Tony Fenaw

701
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: and John Rahm.

702
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: Obviously neither is.

703
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: In this field, but a part then I'm gonna do

704
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: a top twenty parlay will be Jake Knapp, who's defending

705
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: champion and playing well. He just top twenty did at

706
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: I think he finished well at the Waste Management too,

707
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: but he just played well at Tory, which.

708
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: His hometown of San Diego.

709
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: Kid Bo Hostler, who always plays well early in the season,

710
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: and Mike thor Bornson who just goes as Thor. He

711
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the Ludwig of last year. He

712
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: was like the number one guy coming out of college.

713
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 3: And now they have this thing.

714
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: Called PGA Tour you that if you're like essentially the

715
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: number one guy when your college season ends in like

716
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: the late springtime, you get a free membership to the

717
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. That's what happened to Ludvig, and that's what

718
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: happened to Thor. Now he is not playing well, but

719
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: this is a resort course, like this would be a

720
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: fun course for me and you to play. This guy

721
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: is really, really long. I think I watched him play

722
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with with Horvat on YouTube.

723
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: He's just, he's just, He's got a lot of talent.

724
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: So I'm throwing him in there. I think it's almost,

725
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred bucks, Thatt, You're like nineteen hundred dollars,

726
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: so that I'm gonna play this nap Hostler and Thor

727
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: Burns and so might be saying his name right, but

728
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: big fan of the guy.

729
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 3: He's a beast.

730
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: At Golo Pod. At Golo Pod, I'm gonna start using

731
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: that Instagram more. Definitely use it every week for the podcast.

732
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: Question for the pod, but probably more go low related.

733
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: How can a company like NBC not provide shot tracking

734
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: on every shot? Watching the Genesis now and female gets

735
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: a shot track, but Ludwig, who likely is about to win,

736
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: doesn't get one. I don't get it. When I went

737
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: to I went to waste management on Friday and walked

738
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: around to like three or four holes and behind every

739
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: hole on the tea box was the track man. And

740
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: that week, you know, CBS had the waste management, though

741
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: the Golf Channel usually, I would say every tournament beside

742
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: Majors gets a big part of Thursday and Friday coverage

743
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: and on the Golf channel. You know, golf channels owned

744
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: by NBC. And one thing with NBC, with the changing

745
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: landscape of television, they have cut a lot of costs

746
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: and clearly the the shot tracers and everything involved when

747
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: that create, you know, is expensive. I think it has

748
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: to do with just cutting cutting, and as someone who's

749
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: shot a golf video last couple of last year and

750
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 1: had a guy edit it, it is difficult to add

751
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: those So there are gonna be times when you just

752
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: miss it. But there are also times when you're watching

753
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't even think they have the option here,

754
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: How's that possible? So I think it's just they're cheap,

755
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: they're cutting costs, but it is difficult to watch pros

756
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 1: play without the shot tracer. Uh, same thing. This weekend's

757
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 1: Golf telecast was much improved with swing metrics and shot

758
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: tracing graphics golf porn for US golf nerds. The lack

759
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: of consistent swing metrics graphics in weekly telecasts annoys me.

760
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: They are capturing a lot of the swing data via

761
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: the track Man launch monitors. Include more of this in

762
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: the podcast.

763
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: I Hear You Man, I hear you see if I

764
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 3: can find.

765
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Okay love the two pods. Also side note, I just

766
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: got married this past August. Congratulations This from Tyler. With

767
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: this year being a Ryder Cup year, I'm curious to

768
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: know who you would pick for top twelve Ryder Cup

769
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: starters this weekend. Obviously a lot will change, and you

770
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: don't know who the automatic qualifiers will be at this point,

771
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: but you would love to hear your team. Well, the

772
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: European team looks pretty good.

773
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 3: You know.

774
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: If Rom finds form and Hoveland finds form, the top

775
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: of their team is stacked. You got Rory, you got Rom,

776
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: you got Ludwig, you got Hoveland, and you got Hatton

777
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: and you got Fleetwood and Shane Lowry. So I mean,

778
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, the bottom of their team can be a

779
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: little hit or miss, but the top of their team

780
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: is every bit as good as ours.

781
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: So it is.

782
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: It's clearly very difficult to win on foreign soil, so

783
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: at it being it played in New York with Kegan Bradley,

784
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: plays is gonna be nuts, but their team is gonna

785
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: be really, really good. And although obviously you know Bethpage

786
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: is a long golf course, Rory long skin tour, rom

787
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: super deep, Ludwig, I mean right behind Rory, I mean

788
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: their top players, hovelind Win, He's right bombs it. I

789
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 1: think it's really easy to pick our top six right now.

790
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: It's scottis Scheffler, It's Xander Schaffle, it is Colin Morikawa,

791
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, well off to see with Patrick can't lay,

792
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I would say Justin Thomas is definitely

793
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: rounding in the form, so I got no issue with him.

794
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm probably I'm trying to do this off the top

795
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: of my head, so if I'm missing someone that is

796
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: is a lock, Scotty, Xander Morikawa, Bryson. I think Bryson

797
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: is a lock Kepka depending on form, but I have

798
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: no problem having Kepka like basically a lock. Then I

799
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: think there are just a lot of questions with the

800
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: you know what speace risk situation.

801
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 3: You know, can't lay, like I said, is probably on

802
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: the team.

803
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas is definitely on the team, and then there's

804
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: just kind of that next group of guys. You know,

805
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Homa is in the wilderness right now. You know, Wyndam

806
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: Clark is actually showing some signs of life.

807
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: You know, Kegan.

808
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: Bradley is actually played pretty well.

809
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 3: Now.

810
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: He's the captain and he said he'll only pick himself

811
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have to pick himself. He's automatic qualifier.

812
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know, we just got to see how

813
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: this year goes. But some of these guys winning these

814
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: tournaments like D three as a euro A decies not

815
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: even available, you know, Rory European. I'm interested to hear

816
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the TGL. Obviously, Tiger did not provide

817
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: the jews everyone is looking for, but I think it

818
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: generally has a place. I play simulator golf here in Baltimore.

819
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: The leagues are full and highly competitive, so this isn't

820
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: a crazy new thing, which is how the golf purists

821
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: are talking about it. With a couple simple tweaks, I

822
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 1: think it could be legit. Here are my ideas. Get

823
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: a real golf booth, the idea that players themselves can

824
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: be the color commentators is ridiculous and obviously doesn't work.

825
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: You can catch them on hot mics like other sports,

826
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: and huddles on sidelines, but have someone sitting there discussing

827
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: the strategy. Phil would be perfect, but that's a pipe.

828
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 1: The hammer switches every three holes. Even if it isn't used.

829
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: This would help a team crawl back, keeps a team

830
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: with a lead from just running out the clock no timeouts.

831
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: Icing just doesn't work.

832
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: The point I haven't.

833
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: Really watched that much the last After the first couple

834
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: of matches, I think you're taking it a little too seriously,

835
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's less about

836
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: who's winning and losing, you know who's Obviously there have

837
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: been some cool moments, but I don't think it's about

838
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: like who won this year's TGL, Who who was able to,

839
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, win playoff games in the TGL. I think

840
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: it's more about is it really entertaining? The best part

841
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: about the TGL, and I honestly don't even think is

842
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: that close is the technology? So watching guys hit shots

843
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: into this enormous screen like it's cool. I think it's

844
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: just an entertainment product. It should just be an easy watch.

845
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: And maybe I'm wrong. That's my opinion.

846
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: It's less about the competitiveness, though some fun competitive moments

847
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: are cool. I saw was it Fleetwood? I think they

848
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: had like four of them on Monday on President's Day.

849
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: Fleetwood hit this crazy putt to win a hole and

850
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: they went nuts.

851
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 3: It was cool. Matt Ryan was there with Arthur Blank.

852
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: We've seen Kisner skull, a sand shot that hit the

853
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: pin that Tiger started like peeing his pants laughing. I

854
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: think you need a mix of both. But I think

855
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: competitiveness like it's Sunday at a PJ golf tournament, I

856
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: don't think that's the answer. I don't know how you

857
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: balance the entertainment standpoint of the players talking and the broadcast.

858
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, listen, before Phil went to Live, it felt

859
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: like he was in line to be I don't know,

860
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: the next Johnny Miller, the next just all time great broadcaster,

861
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: and he chose that life and he didn't want it.

862
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 3: So I think that.

863
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of sad that he disappeared from our life

864
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: from as golf lovers, because he could have played a huge,

865
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: huge role doing that. Got to hear your take on

866
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: the Bryson D. Chambeau Donald Trump video most watched YouTube video.

867
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't even think I watched it. I saw clips online.

868
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm not like a loyal Bryson watcher, like I don't

869
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: miss like Bob does sports post something, I'm gonna watch it.

870
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: I would say the Brian Bros. Depending on where they're playing.

871
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of those. The Bryson. I think

872
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: he's really entertaining. But I've watched him with Romo, I've

873
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: watched him with Brady. I like Trump's, you know, kind

874
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: of in to over the top, kind of like push

875
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: cut thing he's got going on. People say I kind

876
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: of putt like him, kind of stabby, but listen Bryson.

877
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: Bryson's a rocket ship and what he's done and utilize

878
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: this modern technology. Obviously he's boys with Donald and it

879
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: was perfectly timed right before the election. But like he

880
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: puts stuff up, they go. He does big, big numbers

881
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: for a reason. Like he's he's fun to watch, and

882
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: I think he's he's I think he's like the modern

883
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: day Phil. What Phil kind of was three social media

884
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: and everything just from an entertainment standpoint, that's kind of

885
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: what Bryson has turned into, which is good for the sport.

886
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: You know, historically, basketball, baseball, football, they have been full

887
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: of these guys. You know, one thing I saw someone

888
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: on social media say that one big issue right now

889
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: that basketball is having is their players. You know, the

890
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: younger players like no personalities. It's kind of a personality

891
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: less sport. And I think golf sometimes can become that,

892
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: and it's really really important that you have big personalities

893
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: and from an individual standpoint, you need the individuals to

894
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of separate themselves. And Bryson has done that and

895
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: through YouTube. Obviously he's a great player, and he won

896
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: the US Open in pretty historic fashion with that bunker

897
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: shot at Pinehurst. But I think YouTube no one has

898
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: utilized it more as a professional. You know, when you

899
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: think about some of these guys like Draymond had a

900
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: podcast kind of you know, it was huge. See some

901
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: of these other guys start podcasts. You know, Bryson did

902
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: his version of that on just playing golf. He's like

903
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: playing some random course in Texas. He goes to, like

904
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: the guy, what's the course record? The guy will be

905
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: like sixty three, and Bryson will try to break it.

906
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: Fucking genius.

907
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is.

908
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: Anyone could do it. Anyone could do it. And look

909
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: at the two guys like now or Bad as partners

910
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: with Phil. Phil's don't dummy like Phil sees it. And

911
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: Phil's got a big personality like he's Taylor made for

912
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: part of you know, to hold a YouTube video and

913
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: to be successful, like you're gonna have to have a

914
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: big personality to do it. So Big Brison fan, If

915
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: Full Swing in Netflix offered you a role to narrate

916
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: the show, would you accept? The journalists that narrated season

917
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: one and two are good.

918
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: But I think you'd do great.

919
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, of course I follow the guy

920
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: forget his name, the producer. The thing the Netflix show

921
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really do it for me. I've I've probably watched

922
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: the first two season a total of if they're eight

923
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: so sixteen, probably five or six total. Kind of bores

924
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: me a little bit, which I appreciate. Like them, it's

925
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: hard to do. Gosh's just not that interesting, you know,

926
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: It's just it's really some of these guys just.

927
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 3: Aren't that interesting.

928
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 1: But I would do it in a heartbeat, for sure. I'm glad.

929
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: The one thing that's cool about Netflix, it's kind of

930
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: like YouTube with golf. It's really been good for some

931
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: sports that you know, like the NFL doesn't need it,

932
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: but golf f one for us in America. It's a

933
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: great way to have casual people that like competition and

934
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: like stars and like you know, good drama and stories.

935
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: It's a great way to get in front of their eyes.

936
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: And the Netflix thing to me has been by far

937
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: just a net positive. Okay, that is a go low

938
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: episode one twenty five in the books, and we'll keep

939
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: them coming. So I will talk to everyone soon on

945
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: to pick a winner just in these fields are so

946
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: random in the resort course, don't feel comfortable. Even top
