But 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: I'll spare the listeners. You know we won't do bull 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 2: smen it here.

But be completely honest, 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: I don't really have a home right now, so that's fair. 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: Fair you are knowing that you are, and then. 35 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: My temporary terporary abode. 36 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: But you're sort of a wander right now. So I'm 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: home first time in eight days after an extended extended 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: week plus on Long Island, home of the worst golf 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: fans in the sport, which we'll have PG come on 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 3: into fund maybe a little later. But first Tuesday brought 41 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: a cavil of avalanche of news on the PGA tour front. 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: We've written about this on the website the Frida egg 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: dot com. It's been discussed this will be sort of 44 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: a after the initial wave follow up with our with 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: our own analysis. I would say I would say many 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: things and subjects we've been talking about in this podcast 47 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: for five six, seven, eight years, been told for been 48 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 3: told from straight from the source, cannot do match play, 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: Tour Championship, absolute non starter, not even on the table, 50 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 3: not up for consideration, cannot do that. Was told that 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: multiple times over the last five six years straight from 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 3: people involved with that event. Seems like that's going to happen. 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: So a lot of different exciting ideas being bandied about. 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: It's more for all the haters and losers of our 55 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: structure talk for for roughly seven years here, that's become 56 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: you know, I would say a lot of it has 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: become the gospel of of what what everybody said wanted 58 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: and wanted done. 59 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: You know. 60 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: The match play is the chef's kiss of how many 61 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: times we've been told that's ridiculous, that can't. 62 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: Happen, like non start, absolutely don't even don't even not 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: even up for discussions, cannot happen, Hospitality suites cannot cannot 64 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: accommodate it, all that stuff. So that's well. 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: The thing the thing about it is that the fans 66 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: said they wanted it. 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: So fan forward era, they got in the room, they 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: started spitballing with their fan forward data. The research, market 69 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: research and now we have a maybe some match play 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: in the Tour Championship. 71 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: This is the. 72 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: It's more than half baked. I would say it's all 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: almost fully baked with details TVD. The output of the 74 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: Future Competitions Committee was revealed on Tuesday at the Travelers Championship, 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: and it was just a receiving line of voices. I mean, 76 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: roll App was the main show, but we had we 77 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: had Tiger Woods with Brian Rollap, We had Joe Gorder 78 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: the board chairman. We had Jay Monahan doing a farewell 79 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: given his wave from the podium. It was just everybody. 80 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: It was quite the performance that you know, USGA is 81 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: kind of dealing in the after globe their national championship, 82 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: and it was like boom, we're moving on to big news. 83 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: One voice we didn't hear from. Who's that very important 84 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: voice or he believes his voice is very important? Patrick 85 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: Canlly abstained, so we didn't get to hear from him. 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: He was the loan of stating vote, the loan the 87 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: loan non yes vote because he abstained. 88 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 3: Really so he didn't vote no. He voted like the 89 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: congressman who don't want to be on the record in 90 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: case like this bill ends up being you know, world changing, 91 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: and all the voters are one hundred percent behind his constituents. 92 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: He just said abstain, which is kind of a no 93 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: if you're asking me well, being honest. 94 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: It's basically someone who doesn't want to say he voted no, 95 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: but it's saying he voted no. But then if this 96 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: goes swimmingly, and this is the greatest format change the 97 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: Tours ever made in ten years, he could say I 98 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: didn't vote no. 99 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Like I didn't. I didn't vote against 100 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: the bill that has now made my entire district rich. 101 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: I just voted present or not like so he doesn't 102 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: have to ride for it either way. I just while 103 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: we're on this subject, the nine member committee, six player 104 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: reps were can't they who you're saying, is the only 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: person who voted not yes? Maverick McNeilly, Keith Mitchell, Adam Scott, Camillo, 106 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: VI Jagas and Tiger Woods, and then the three Strategic 107 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: Business Advisors and Joe Gordon, John Henry and theo Epstein. 108 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: Those are the nine member committee of the FCC. There 109 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: are a bunch of other voices involved in that FCC, 110 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 3: but those I believe are the voting. 111 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Members to think PC with his deep understanding of debt 112 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: and you know, just private equity deals galore. He just 113 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: wasn't impressed with the information that he had needed more. 114 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: Or maybe he's just an absolute killed joy turned on 115 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: the punch bowl, wants to always be Look, I think 116 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 3: he's probably thoughtful about a lot of issues, but also 117 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: likes to be a pain in the ass. Anyways, he's 118 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 3: I tell you what he's he's sliding further and further 119 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: toward irrelevance. Quite frankly, it's just interesting with a team 120 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: of that in September that you know, he's been such 121 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: a factor on but we don't need to get into 122 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: the Canta minute, but he has become totally almost irrelevant. 123 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: Honestly, I was thinking about it yesterday when I when 124 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: I saw the Sean Zach report that he abstained. Yeah, 125 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: it was like, is he abstaining because he knows he's 126 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: on a on the expressway to track too? He's a challenger, 127 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: not a champion. What would you prefer to be a 128 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: challenger or a champion? 129 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: I mean, probably a champion seems like it's more lucrative 130 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: in this instance. But are you saying just generally in life, 131 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: the challenger or a champion. 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I already see the 133 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: PGA Tour commercial. Are you a. 134 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 3: Challenger or a champion? How long do you think those last? 135 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: We're getting into the I'll get into the loose, loose 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: nuts and bolts here. How long do you think the 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: Monikers Championship Series and Challenge Championship is track one? Challenger 138 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: Series is tracked two until that's what they were called 139 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: until yesterday with the news. 140 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: I think it depends the ball is really in Charles 141 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: Schwab scorn. 142 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: Why you think it's in frings. 143 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: I'm a Charles Schwab Challenger, and I don't you know, 144 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm I'm offended that I that that place is being 145 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 2: track two. So challenge, can the Charles Schwab Challenge actually 146 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: exists in the Championship series? 147 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 3: Doesn't win it's a challenge. It seems impossible, doesn't seem 148 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: like it seems like a Challenger event. I mean, there's 149 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 3: a whole host of questions like is the Canadian Open 150 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: and open if it goes into the Championship Series? No, no, 151 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: is it? You know if it's in the Challengers Series? 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 3: And Corey Connor's Canadian is a Championship Series player? Can 153 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: he not play his National Open? Doesn't seem like it? 154 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: A lot of questions we'll get to here. 155 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: There's a lot of like little like they're saying, this 156 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: is nothing, these small little I'm struggling for the eligibility things. Yeah, 157 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: but I would say with anything like this, the devil 158 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: is in the details, and I think there are a 159 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 2: lot of tricky details to navigate. But we should get 160 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: into the nuts and bolts. 161 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 3: Nuts in bolts, all right. So as we've talked two tracks. 162 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: Track one is the Championship Series, which I just keep 163 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: calling the Champions Tour. I just keep calling it that 164 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: Championship Series. I mean, I'm sorry, it just is what 165 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: it is, the champions to a series. 166 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: I was doing the write up that we were we 167 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: did right after the news broke, Yeah, I was. I 168 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: kept typing Champions Tour and I kept having to check. 169 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, oh, this is the Championships Series.

Is the 198 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: challenger player allowed to come up? Is the question I 199 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: have for the President's Cup? 200 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: But like, are you getting points or to be relegated 201 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: retained the promotion? 202 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: Like? 203 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: How is that? 204 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: Oh? 205 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: I went to one and one at the Peak Cup? 206 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: Am I now getting Championship series? What is this? Why 207 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 3: are we just throwing that in the Championship Series? I 208 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: don't understand that. So those it's a lot of events. 209 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: It's a lot of events. We're talking playoffs and maybe 210 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 3: what like fifteen to sixteen quote unquote regular tour events. 211 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: They will have one hundred twenty players in the field. 212 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty players are eligible or exempt. I 213 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 3: should say, uh, who and who makes up that one 214 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty is? Uh? Will become a great source 215 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: of debate and devil in the details as you as 216 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: you noted early on, it is going to be I 217 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: assume the top it's going to be the top ninety 218 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: of the preceding year in this championship series. However, that's 219 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: calculated FACX Cup points. It seems like will be a 220 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: possible metric then you're gonna get twenty promoted up from 221 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: the Challenger Series, which is tracked two. So that gets 222 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: us to one ten ninety. Stay twenty promoted, then you're 223 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: you're at one ten, you get you have twenty more 224 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: spots for eligibility or fully exempt status. You're gonna get 225 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 3: some DP World Tour graduates has to. 226 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: Be five, maybe maybe you do. Maybe that expands to 227 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: you know, fifteen and five go to the the champions 228 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: Championship Circuit, God Champions Tour, maybe. 229 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,599 Speaker 3: A medical or two carve out if you're at the 230 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: very top of your game, right or you're at the 231 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: top of the tour and you get hurt. Prop there's 232 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 3: this last chance or last chance you is I'm gonna 233 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: call it a series of fall events, maybe international events 234 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: where you can play your way into the championship. 235 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: Can I raise my hand here? 236 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 237 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: Doesn't this diminish the whole relegation thing, Like we're gonna 238 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: have this moment on their their point is like the 239 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: last event of the year. It's gonna be hey, who 240 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: gets to go to the playoffs, which I've heard floated 241 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: as thirty two players get to go to the playoffs. 242 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 2: Who gets relegated people are gonna lose their cards. We're 243 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: gonna have these moments where Todd gets rolled out and 244 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: you know he's gonna be rolled out to talk to 245 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: somebody in tears about losing their card, and then it's 246 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: gonna be like two months later, well, last Chance, Last 247 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 2: Chance you got this guy back, and it's gonna be 248 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: like that moment actually didn't happen. 249 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I get your point. I get it. Like it's 250 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: it's you're kind of you're relegated to Last Chance You 251 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: essentially is what you're You're not relegated to a season 252 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 3: of immediately a season in the Challenger Series. So we're 253 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: talking twenty there's twenty spots that are some sort of 254 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: stew that they're gonna come to Medical euro PGA Tour 255 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 3: you Last Chance You like a combination. So that'll get 256 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: us one hundred and thirty for Championship Series. 257 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: Can I ask another question? Yeah, what do you what 258 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: do you think they should do with PGA to or you? 259 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: I think I think they should fast track at least 260 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: the top guy, maybe two or three. And we're talking 261 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: about guys that will frequently maybe come in in whenever May. 262 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: Is that fair to say yeah, and give them that 263 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: summer and figure out some sort of metric. What do 264 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: you think they should I mean, now you're gonna get 265 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: agents and mules just lose their shit down in the 266 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: Challenger series. 267 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: I think this is tricky. In the case of a 268 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: Jackson Coven, I think this is a slam dunk where 269 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: you have to get them up as quickly as possible. 270 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: And this is the problem is that I think it 271 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: should be completely subjective, but it can't be completely subjective. 272 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: It's the issue. 273 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: So like at Jackson Coven where he's done everything, you know, 274 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: Preston Stout where he's done all this stuff. You know 275 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: Jackson Covid in particular, where he's finished top five and 276 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: you know he finished top ten and three three straight 277 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: events on the PJ Tour last fall. No brainer putting 278 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: them up right away. But then you have like, you know, hey, 279 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: like Michael Thorbiornsen would have been a pg tour, you guy. 280 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: David Ford would have been a PGA tour, you guy. 281 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: And I have a hard time saying, hey, you know, 282 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: this person gets to go up, but let's look at 283 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: like the standings right now. But you know, Max Grazerman, 284 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: I will just go to ninety one or ninety four. 285 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: Taylor Pendrith is ninety four right now? Does Pendy not 286 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: get to go? And somebody that hasn't you know, has 287 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: it cracked an egg on the PGA Tour yet gets 288 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: to go. It's tricky, it's hard. This is what I'm 289 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: talking about, with the technicalities, the little details. 290 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been thinking about this, honestly. I had whatever 291 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 3: five hour drive home from Long Island yesterday and it 292 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: is it is super fascinating, I think for us to discuss, consider, 293 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 3: think about and not to come across as a nihilist, 294 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 3: but it kind of it's very peripheral to the actual 295 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: Does the PGA Tour Live, Die, succeed fail? Is this successful? 296 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: I think it's important if you're a stakeholder, if you're 297 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 3: a player, if you're an agent, if you're whoever us 298 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 3: we think it's this is very interesting and critical, but 299 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: it's also like it is not critical to the PGA 300 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: Tour success. Arguing about the last twenty guys and how 301 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: they cook it up that's true? Is that harsh? Maybe 302 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: it's actually a great point and nobody's ever gonna be happy. 303 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 3: Not everybody's gonna be happy. We've we've we've learned that 304 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 3: that's just how this how the cookie crumbles often when 305 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: you're when you're sorting PGA to our eligibility doesn't matter 306 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: how you do it. Okay, So that's the championship. So 307 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: seventy to two old stroke play with cut to top 308 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: sixty five and ties, So one hundred and twenty players. 309 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 3: With all the people that were saying that no cut events, 310 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: cuts don't matter, we're back here. 311 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: Cuts every event. Persons are twenty million. Cuts really don't matter. 312 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: You know, you got to have those guys around on 313 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: the weekend. 314 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: I think that's sort of also avoiding the sort of 315 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: the WGC stink, the WGC malaise. I think we saw 316 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: that a little bit at a few of these no 317 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: cut whatever they're called designated elevated signature. So that just 318 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 3: to clear something up Championships and Challenger I have no idea. 319 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 3: We've we've we've renamed elevated events three times in like 320 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: four year, so who knows what these will be called. Yeah, 321 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 3: cuts seventy two, all stroke play, top six sixty five, 322 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 3: get through the weekend. Purses are twenty million at least, 323 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: so I think prior reporting from maybe Josh Carpenter and 324 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: others said, you know, they're looking for thirty million title sponsor. 325 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: Of course that thirty million doesn't all go into the purse, 326 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: but purses are at least twenty million. Is that the 327 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 3: false economy? Rory speaks of maybe, I don't know. We'll 328 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: see where we go. But Brian Rolapp and his press 329 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 3: conference was like, look, we wouldn't be setting these money 330 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: parameters if we didn't think we were comfortable, if we 331 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: didn't feel comfortable about getting it out there in the marketplace, 332 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 3: either from title sponsors or just operating with those kind 333 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 3: of purses. Ten to fifteen are done for twenty twenty eight. 334 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 3: We'll learn the full schedule. It sounds like in call 335 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: it February March of next year, will learn going before 336 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: the players will learn the whole deal. Ten to fifteen 337 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: are already in twenty eight. There will be five more 338 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 3: from quote unquote big markets. I'll call them New York, Denver, Boston, Philly, 339 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 3: San Francisco, Seattle and DC. You had a nice little 340 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: article on the website last night about potential venues. I'll 341 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 3: use the word potential. We have a lot of insane 342 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: suggestions floating around out there of Pine Valley, Cypress Point 343 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: where we're gonna have the Tour Championship. I tweeted, we 344 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: just should have it augusta national, whereas a lot of 345 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 3: people seriously tweeted back, I think it's closed in August. 346 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 3: It's like, okay, well maybe they'll open it up for 347 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: the Tour champ I heard sand Hills, I just like 348 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 3: a lot of them say that's a separate Tour Championship discussion. 349 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: This is the mark talk about the existence. They want 350 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 2: to have the best players at the best courses in 351 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: the world, is like their general belief and and what 352 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: constitutes the best course for a regular event. The piece 353 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: I wrote was for regular and and for the sake 354 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: of ease, we're just calling it the Champions Tour now, 355 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: so everybody on this podcast, the top tier is the 356 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: champions Tour because it's easier to say than Championship Series. 357 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: Steven Alker, look how you killed my beautiful boy. 358 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: The Champions Tour is just going back to the senior circuit. 359 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 4: Can that? Can that be? 360 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 5: One of the twenty fluid spots is that that the 361 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 5: Number one Chomp Cup winner gets gets promoted to the 362 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 5: Champions Tour. 363 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: Imagine ninety two or ninety one of the lists. 364 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 4: God, can that be one of the twenty? 365 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 5: I mean, I think has earned his right if you're 366 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 5: going to co op the name. 367 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: I think that the beauty of that is Blockie could 368 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 2: work his way out of the PGA Tour finals. 369 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 4: He could, Yes, he could. 370 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: All right, So you just did five regular season events 371 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 3: that these New York boss did Denver. 372 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: So I just I think there's like a lot of 373 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: confusion about about this point they still are going to 374 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 2: put on fifteen what you would see at a big 375 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: time PGA Tour event, huge grand stands, big crowds, you know, 376 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 2: needs for big infrastructure golf. Okay, what they're talking about 377 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: where the Pine Valley Cypress thing comes in is they're 378 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: talking about a tiny playoffs. So the playoffs would go 379 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 2: to thirty two guys. Roughly, there'd be a matchplay portion 380 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 2: which would be like a World Cup type thing, so pools. Potentially, 381 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: this is all potentially the way they've thought about it, 382 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 2: I believe. So you'd have groups of four, two players 383 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: from each group come out to a round of sixteen. 384 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: The sixteen player matches would be a like Friday Saturday 385 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: Sunday tournament, no grand stands, limited fans, which we anybody 386 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: that's listened to this podcast knows that's the best way 387 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: to produce golf, no fan type. And I feel I 388 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: feel emboldened about my take about no fans here because 389 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: they're saying but so you're talking like the big asks. 390 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: The big issues to hosting at great golf courses are 391 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: course disruption, which is which starts months in advance when 392 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: they start putting up these grand stands in space. 393 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: And in a lot of places that don't have a 394 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: long season. If you're talking Boston, I mean, all right, 395 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 3: we're wiping out forty fifty of their golf season to 396 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: set up. 397 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: So when you go to this this stop, potentially this 398 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: type of final event or second to last event, it 399 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 2: opens up a whole new world of golf courses because 400 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: you could go to them and say, listen, we're only 401 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: bringing sixteen guys. That's four tea times. They're gonna play 402 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: a couple of practice rounds. Your members can play. There's 403 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 2: no grand stands. You know, we have to put up 404 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 2: TV towers, but your members can play on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, 405 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: Friday up until they go off. If you want to 406 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: set it up a certain way. I bet you could 407 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: have members play while the tournament's going on and you 408 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: don't have the disruption, and that might be a little ridiculous. 409 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: I would guess they'd ask for the three days. But 410 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: these members then also get, hey, you get to come 411 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: to this super small, intimate event, and and they this is, 412 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, not a huge ask. Do I 413 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: think Cyprus Point and Pine Valley are gonna do it? 414 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: Maybe not, But do I think you have like a 415 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: great chance of getting a slew of other fantastic golf 416 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: courses to do it. The other one other big thing 417 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: with this final event that everybody's fixinated on and saying 418 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: like all these places could host it is that the 419 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: matchplay portion is big, because all of a sudden, it's 420 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: not gonna be like the story isn't gonna be a 421 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: myriad of sixty two's. You know, Hey, we hosted at 422 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: let's just insert a course. We'll just use quaker Ridge, 423 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: which doesn't ever range so it probably won't host. But 424 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: we hosted at quaker Ridge, and everybody shot sixty one. 425 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: That isn't TPC. Craig Rant's story doesn't go there because 426 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 2: it's gonna be like did you see that amazing match 427 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: between Scotty and sam Burns. The Sheriff and the sergeant 428 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 2: square off and sam Burns makes ten birdies but Scotty 429 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: clips them with an eagle on the last. Like the 430 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 2: story because it's match play, isn't about the sixty two 431 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: and one they shot and how much of a pushover 432 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: the course. It's going to be about the exciting match. 433 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 3: Though there is still a potential. I'm not saying they'll 434 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: post a score for stroke metal match play. 435 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 436 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 3: Do you know why? Why? Yeah? 437 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: So is potentially have to be metal match play. 438 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: Because they need to fulfill their obligation of two and 439 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: a half hours on network or four hours on network TV, 440 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 3: and if you close them out on thirteen or whatever, that's. 441 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 2: Where it has to get. And this is what I've 442 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: been banging the drum for forever. The way you solve 443 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: the TV conundrum is you play off all sixteen spots. 444 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 2: You get to the last sixteen, we go one through 445 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: sixteen and you get bonused out and the fifteen sixteen 446 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: matches for one hundred grand or. 447 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 3: Some just have you have matches all over the place. 448 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that way like the TV's way more 449 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: riveting and you're going to hit the end of the 450 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 2: window because you have all these matches. 451 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: To be clear, what we're hearing about, this playoffs is 452 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 3: just a singular event, a thirty two not it's just playoffs. 453 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 3: Is the Tour Championship or whatever name we're gonna call it, 454 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 3: It's not this like week one, week two, week three 455 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 3: playoff FedEx Cup Playoffs format that we're talking about. Right, 456 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: It's some Now, this is a lot of potential. There's 457 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 3: a lot of like TBD, but it's one kind of 458 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: it's one sort of mostly match play World Cup style 459 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 3: event over maybe two weeks. 460 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 2: Exactly, it's two weeks. It's one event that gets it 461 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: down to sixteen or whatever that number ends up being, 462 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: and then it's this really small sixteen person event. The 463 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 2: other piece of this is like the last event of 464 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: the year that determines, say, the thirty two people that 465 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: go to the playoffs is also the relegation event. It's 466 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 2: also yeah, so it becomes this big event, and what 467 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 2: I've heard is like that will be a big time 468 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: market event, like a Chicago, New York type event where 469 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 2: that's the season ender. Unfortunately that you know, this event 470 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: can't be an Open, so it couldn't be the Western Open. 471 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 3: Sadly Western Open doesn't exist anymore. 472 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 2: I think the tour actually has now officially stabbed any 473 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: belief that the Western Open could come back in the heart. 474 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 3: We're so presumably this would be early mid August that 475 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: all this is going on, this grand relegation Day, final Day, 476 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: then the two weeks of playoffs at presumably some very 477 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 3: very nice clubs that would have not previously been had 478 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: the zero interest in having a PGA Tour event. You 479 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: know what I can assure you, Yeah, these these events, 480 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: the playoff events in August will not be happening in Memphis, 481 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: in Atlanta. I mean, like we'll do more subjective takeaways 482 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: from this. There may be a lot of misguided points. 483 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: You may to quibble with a lot of it. It 484 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: does feel like the right motivations are animating this, Yes, 485 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: this effort, and that is interest meritocracy. They've gotten rid 486 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: of sponsors exemptions. That's good one Tony Fina doing one 487 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 3: last once on this week of Travelers. After Tony, your boy, 488 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: Ben James, Keith Mitchell, your four sponsors exemptions the travelers, 489 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: though there'll be another season of those I think next year. 490 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 3: So it's being animated by the right motivations. It's not 491 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 3: FedEx is in Memphis. We're going to have an event 492 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 3: in Memphis. That's why we have to have it there. 493 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 3: It's what could be cool, What could be a cool 494 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 3: competition format, what could be a cool golf course, what 495 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: could be a what feels like a real meritocracy? What 496 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: could provide clarity simplicity? Do these are the things animating 497 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 3: it not? You know, Coca Cola is in Atlanta, so 498 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 3: we're having our big season ending event there and that's 499 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: because they sponsor it. No sponsors exceptions. I think we've 500 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: hit most of the Championship champions Tour Tenants, Challenger Series 501 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 3: is tracked two primary pathway twenty guys go up. Fields 502 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 3: are one hundred and forty four players. Purses are at 503 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: least at least four million seventy two old stroke play 504 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 3: events one hundred and forty four players, maybe one hundred 505 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: and thirty two when it's limited daylight early in the year. 506 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 3: This is the glorified KFT Tour. There's messaging that it 507 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 3: is not. The word glorified is doing the work there. 508 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 3: We're not calling it the KFT Tour, it's calling it 509 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: the glorified KFT Tour. You if you win twice, it's 510 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 3: the quote unquote battlefield promotion. If you win a major championship, 511 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 3: So say you're I don't know somebody that's in the 512 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 3: that's in outside the top ninety that won the US 513 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: Opened last week, you'd immediately be able to play call 514 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: Travelers a Champions Tour event, you'd be able to go up. 515 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 3: So you get a battlefield promotion, and you get a 516 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 3: if you win a major, you're in the field going 517 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 3: forward for track one, it's there are thirteen of these 518 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: twenty These are twenty events. Thirteen of them are going 519 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 3: to run concurrent to Champions Tour event. So you're talking 520 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 3: to this field. Yes, Puerto Rico Open, Barbersol Classic, Reno, 521 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: Tahoe Open, whatever, Barracuda whatever, these did that kind of feel. 522 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 3: So it's somewhere in the middle of KFT and the 523 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 3: PGA Tour, which I think calling it glorified KFT is 524 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: maybe an appropriate moniker there was, So there's going to 525 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 3: be a cast system within all these events. Within the 526 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 3: guard there are firmer, very firm guardrails, like you're not 527 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: moving up really at all, except for those couple of 528 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: carve outs. We just talked about the dut battlefield and 529 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 3: you can't play down. But within those events, like, there's 530 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: gonna be some shittier Chi Championship Series events like where 531 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: Chip like Rory and Scottie or whoever like that, they're 532 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 3: gonna pay their way in and be like, yeah, I'm 533 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: still not going to Memphis. I'm still not going to 534 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 3: Craig Ranch that they may be champions now and then 535 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 3: within the Challenger Series absolutely gonna be some haves and 536 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: have not events. Still, you know there's gonna be a 537 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: the Seven that have their own quote network window where 538 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: you don't they don't have to worry about playing opposite 539 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 3: where all the stars are. You're essentially a sun Belt 540 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 3: game trying to go opposite Alabama LSU, And there's gonna 541 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: be an Occasion seven where you get, like Wednesday Night, 542 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 3: you're the main show the sun Belt game. So there's 543 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 3: gonna be games within the game, within the two tracks, 544 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: for sure, haves and have nots. Still, what do you 545 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: make of the Challenger Series quibbles? 546 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: I don't have a ton of quibbles. I think this 547 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: is really great in terms of golf for professional golfers, 548 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: in the sense of this is the you know, this 549 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 2: is the feeder tour to the Big Tour. Right, There's 550 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: gonna be some spots for DP World Tour into the 551 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: Big Tour, I think, but for the most part this, 552 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: this Challenger Tour will be which is also very close 553 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: to the Challenge Tour, which already exists on the europe Yes, 554 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: the Challenger Tour will What I like about this is 555 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: I've always thought the you know, the idea of like 556 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 2: being a Korn Fairy Tour player and being like player 557 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: thirty on the korn Fairy Tour list, you're not really 558 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 2: making a living per se this tour. You can be 559 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 2: the two hundredth best player in the world and be 560 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: with the with the purse sizes, you can make a living, 561 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: which I think is a good thing. It's one of 562 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 2: the issues with like right now with the world of 563 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 2: tennis is like, if you're the eightieth best tennis player 564 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: in the world, you're kind. 565 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 3: Of looking at what you're making and you're like, uh, 566 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 3: high school or something exactly. 567 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 2: So with this, I think one of the things that's 568 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: great about it is it ensures if I'm on the 569 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 2: doorstep to the champions Tour, not not the senior circuit, 570 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 2: the now big Tour. 571 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 3: We I gotta start calling it the Championship Tour. 572 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 2: So if if I'm on the doorstep of the Championship Tour, 573 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 2: then I have a legit, Like I'm making a living. 574 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: I can afford to invest in coaching. I can afford 575 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: to have a house. I could afford if I don't 576 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 2: live in Jacksonville. I can afford a club to practice at. 577 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 2: And I think this is a really good thing for golf. Now, 578 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: if I was going to quibble with this, I think 579 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 2: a huge miss is not having a system where if 580 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 2: I get really hot and they will say, oh, if 581 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: you win twice, you're up. But I would contend that 582 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 2: more impressive than winning twice, because winning twice can be 583 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 2: kind of fluky, and the golf courses aren't going to 584 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 2: be as good. More impressive than winning twice would be 585 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: someone that goes like and wins once and through ten 586 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 2: events hasn't finished outside the top eight, and that player 587 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: is just going to be stuck there, yep. And you 588 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 2: don't know when you're gonna play, Like we've gone through this, 589 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: you don't know when you're going to play the best 590 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: golf of your career, and what you want to do 591 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: is you want to give somebody the opportunity when they're 592 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: playing their best golf in their career, to progress quick. 593 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 2: This is the way it works in every other sport, 594 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 2: where if you start playing exceptionally, you move up quickly 595 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 2: through the game. If you're a hitter in single A 596 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 2: and you're hitting four hundred, and they're going to move 597 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: you up to double R eight or triple A, and 598 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 2: if you do the same thing there, they're going to 599 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: move you up to the major leagues. 600 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: I think it's a hard it's a hard nut to crack. 601 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 3: I think like your season is your season, and you 602 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: can move up. I don't I agree with you. I'm 603 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 3: trying to play Devil's advocate here. You do a midpoint 604 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 3: check in a midpoint relegation promotion zone where five you're 605 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 3: you're essentially asking for kind of like an a on 606 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,479 Speaker 3: swing five some sort of rubric. Well maybe not every week, 607 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 3: but somewhere that's exactly. 608 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 2: I think like that. Honestly, like we've talked about this, 609 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 2: I think that a on swing five has worked wonderfully 610 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 2: and you've gotten some really great stories. 611 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 3: Find Gerard, Ryan Gerard, Eric Cole, people like that. 612 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, where like Eric Cole has played his way this 613 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 2: year into like he should be in every signature event 614 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 2: the way he's playing Ryan Gerard similarly. So, so I 615 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 2: do think that there is an element of that that 616 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 2: I would like to see. And you know, from from that, 617 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 2: maybe maybe there's like a slot that once you've earned 618 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: the amount of points that you know that you're going 619 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 2: to be in the twenty, there is like the top 620 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 2: five of that points list get a play up or 621 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 2: something like that. 622 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 3: You already know you're going there next year, you get 623 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 3: a September call up essentially in baseball kind of thing, 624 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 3: you get your last that's fair. I think it's a 625 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 3: it's a point we've already we've we've kind of hammered 626 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 3: here over the years. Like I'm just trying to play 627 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: devils out of it. Like either you're in you're a 628 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 3: senior in college, you got to play out your college 629 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 3: year and you get draft. When you get drafted, maybe 630 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 3: had you were pottered as a whatever quarterback and your 631 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 3: senior year at college and you will ever be it's 632 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 3: just that's what your season is for that season and 633 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 3: you will reap the rewards the subsequent season, you just 634 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 3: might not be as good. I agree, it's a tough 635 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 3: not to correct. Probably a midpoint check in would be good. 636 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 3: Are right at the very minimum, it could provide some 637 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 3: interest you have like a relic to multiple relegation points. 638 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 2: I you know, I think it's hard, and I think 639 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 2: that the Devil's advocate of like two relegations would be 640 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 2: like a year is like really fluky because you know 641 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna play on the West Coast at the beginning 642 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 2: of the year and if you're if you grew up 643 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: in the north, you go west coast to Bermuda. Those 644 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 2: aren't your grasses. Like maybe I play best when I'm 645 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: when we get to Bent, you know, and somebody else 646 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 2: plays really great, puts really well on POA and they 647 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: they you know. So I think, like just generally, I 648 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 2: love the idea of like you can't play down you're here. 649 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 2: You do like that there's no qualifying there's no but 650 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 2: I do think there needs. My big quibble would be 651 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: that if we see, you know, like the perfect example 652 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 2: of this and this is just would be Jordan Speith 653 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: when he came out and he wins Deer, And let's 654 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 2: just say that Deer was at the beginning of the year, 655 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 2: and you have this generationally great young star capable of 656 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 2: winning majors at age twenty one, but he's stuck in 657 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 2: this you know, on this other tour. 658 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I uh, it's a tough not to crack one. 659 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 3: One other thing, I would add, and the tour, someone 660 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 3: from the tour made this point to us, and I 661 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 3: think I'm buying it. We have our guard up. We 662 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 3: approached thing skeptically here that this will provide a clarity 663 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 3: of what you're playing for in the Challenger series. Know 664 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 3: exactly what you're getting if you are in the top twenty, 665 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 3: whereas in prior years or much all the prior systems. 666 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 3: You know, it was that one year where I think, 667 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 3: like zero KFT graduates or rookies got to start at 668 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 3: Sony Open, right, and like, ah, I might be in Sony. 669 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 3: I might then be off for four weeks because there's 670 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 3: these you know, past champions exemptions and major medicals and 671 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 3: sponsors and all these statuses ahead of me that like, 672 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 3: I don't know, am I getting I graduated up? But 673 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 3: I might get twelve starts, I might get twenty. I 674 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 3: don't know when and where I'm going to get my starts. 675 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 3: And if you graduate, there is a clarity of purpose 676 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 3: of what you're playing for to graduate from challenger to champion. 677 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 3: Like you get top twenty, you're good. You're in all 678 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 3: those events. Not the Ryder Cup. I guess we're counting that, 679 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 3: but you know you are in the PGA Tour events. 680 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 3: So I think I buy that. I think I buy 681 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 3: the clarity of playing for something that's that is that 682 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 3: makes it not not like absolute one to one KFT style. 683 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 3: But you know, should there be more fluidity or more 684 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 3: osmosis between the two is will be something they take up. 685 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 2: I would I think the the last thing I'll say, 686 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 2: you know about about this and and just like this 687 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 2: is very much a positive statement here the they I 688 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 2: think they've set up a really good framework, like okay, 689 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: this is where we're starting from, and the premise of 690 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: it is really good in the sense of no sponsored exemptions. 691 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: You know, these are the the two tracks, and like there, 692 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 2: this is the way it works, like this is the 693 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 2: way up. This is when you're here, you're here and 694 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 2: you have to play really well because these are great 695 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: players to stay here. I think the nice thing is 696 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 2: that if they have this really strong fundamental base, which 697 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 2: the history of the tour has kind of been like, hey, 698 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 2: this is the way it works. Oh, sponsor wants to 699 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 2: do this, Like okay, we'll do that, and what ended 700 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: up happening was like the original concept of the tour 701 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 2: kind of became a Frankenstein. If you have this really 702 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 2: strong fundamental base, the nice thing is they can make 703 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 2: small tweaks. If they watch it for two years and 704 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, you know what we need to do this, 705 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: it will be very easy for them to make small 706 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 2: tweaks that leads to the tour continually getting better. That's 707 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 2: what I really like about what they have set up 708 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 2: is that we're going to actually operate from a really 709 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 2: strong concept and you can build a really good product 710 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: in the sense of like we are we're here, this 711 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 2: is what we're saying to fans is the way this works, 712 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,479 Speaker 2: and after two years of watching how how it really 713 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 2: plays out, we can actually make little tweaks that improve 714 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 2: the product, as opposed to when you have Frankensteinu's like, 715 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 2: well we can amputate. 716 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 3: The leg bolt on an ear here because Coca Cola 717 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 3: wants it, or this player. You know these are an exemption. 718 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 3: I mean, what you're speaking to is sort of a 719 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 3: from the ten thousand foot view of My point is 720 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 3: like what has been the structural unique uniqueness of professional 721 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 3: golf is no centralized authority, no centralized power. There's no 722 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,479 Speaker 3: strong central power, and that's what made it susceptible to live, 723 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 3: susceptible to poachers. And what you're talking about, what we're 724 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 3: talking about here is like, this is our structure. This 725 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 3: is the way it goes. These are the plans. Either 726 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 3: get on there, we can tweak it, get on board, 727 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 3: or don't. But this is how we're operating right now. 728 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 3: And you know there will be voices and stakeholders that 729 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 3: come in with a little bit of lobbying power, but 730 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 3: it does seem to be taking sort of a strong 731 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 3: central power and creating something out from that. And that's 732 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 3: that's something golf really hasn't had. If you're looking for 733 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 3: a strong central power at the belt line, the waistline, 734 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 3: you go to mobjeck dot com.

These days. The soccer boys have 797 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 3: me fired up. I was thinking about it today. The 798 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 3: soccer seems to really be bringing people together, like fired 799 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 3: up about it. You know, who knows they may flame 800 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 3: out with me and poorly, but you've got people saying, oh, 801 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 3: this could really happen, they could go far. The opportunity 802 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 3: for the Ryder Cup team to win away next year 803 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 3: in Ireland is massive, I think, you know, we say 804 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 3: this every every four years, but just having watched the 805 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 3: hockey at the Olympics, seeing what's happening with the American 806 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 3: soccer team right now, sort of when you're that underdog 807 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 3: status or it's been a long time in the hockey 808 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 3: case has been miracle and ice. In soccer, you know, 809 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 3: we're just not a great soccer country thus far. So 810 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 3: I've win a Ryder Cup for the first time and 811 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: whatever it will be at that point thirty some years, 812 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 3: I think it's pretty massive. I know that's not the 813 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,320 Speaker 3: World Cup, it's not, you know, as big as the Olympics, 814 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 3: but it's a significant opportunity and they should be dialed 815 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 3: in on it from right now all the way through 816 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 3: to next September. And so just I don't know, something 817 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,919 Speaker 3: I've been seeing with the soccer team this the last 818 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 3: couple of weeks, just thinking about what what what opportunity 819 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 3: is out there for the Ryder Cup to really become legends, 820 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 3: so they might get whax. I'm sure they will anyways, 821 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 3: feeling patriotic. What's that champions? Champions? They're going as challenger, 822 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 3: but they can emerge champions, So go to the pro 823 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 3: shop check out the fourth of July stuff? All right? 824 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 3: Any other clean up on the new PGA Tour that 825 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 3: you want to generally positive review. It feels like. 826 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 2: I just wanted to run through what I What I 827 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 2: would suggest is is the ten events that are locked in. 828 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 2: If I had to educated guests, please all right? Uh, 829 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 2: Farmers which is Tory Pines, which is now the. 830 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:38,359 Speaker 3: Century speaking of names and brands are fleeting, Okay. 831 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 2: It's definitely not an open, the Phoenix Open, which will 832 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 2: be a closed tournament, not an open. 833 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 3: The w M Classic, Phoenix Classic or whatever I want 834 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 3: to call it. 835 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 2: I hope they change. They have to change all the 836 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 2: opens because none of these are open. Yes, at and 837 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 2: t Pebble Beach. So that gets us to three. Genesis 838 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 2: at Riviera gets us four. 839 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:11,240 Speaker 3: Unsubstantiated rumor very unsubstantiated heard at Shinnecock that maybe Riviera 840 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 3: is not super interested in hosting a PGA Tour event 841 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 3: every year anymore, which would be interesting, very unsubstantiated, just 842 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 3: just whispers, you know, like do we want to do 843 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 3: this every February or whatever? That would be interesting. That 844 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 3: would be a loss for the tour for. 845 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 2: A club that actively doesn't like to have people at 846 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 2: the club, that would be that would make sense. 847 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 3: And it's of course privately owned, and you know, it 848 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 3: can be kind of when powers it can be just 849 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 3: decided on a whim there. 850 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 2: They dissuade usage from their own members. So I don't know. 851 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,319 Speaker 3: It could be a long way off, but there were 852 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 3: rumblings and murmurs about it anyways. Okay, so but that 853 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 3: would for sure be a track one. So we got 854 00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 3: four api Arnold Palmer five. I would say that the 855 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 3: RBC Heritage is in six from what I've heard, potentially 856 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 3: to RBC events two events. 857 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:14,800 Speaker 2: What I'm hearing. 858 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 3: I heard Canada was in. I also heard Canada might 859 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 3: be going to the Fall yesterday, which would be of 860 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,839 Speaker 3: great emotion of the Open. Okay, the Cadillac Championship is 861 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 3: in therell so that gets us to what is that six? 862 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:35,760 Speaker 3: Seven to Florida. 863 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 2: There'll be three Florida events, right, Cadillac, Bayhill and Players, 864 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 2: So that gets us a seven events are recounting the 865 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 2: players no, we're seven, okay without the players because we 866 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 2: got to get to the the ten of fifteen, the 867 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,360 Speaker 2: truest would be in. 868 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 3: That's eight. 869 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 2: Then this is my kind of favorite one that I've 870 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 2: heard so far. TPC Craig Ranchero in in. I mean, 871 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 2: we're gonna see the best players of the world duke 872 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 2: it out at one of the All's iconic designs. 873 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 4: So bad. 874 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 3: It's good that they got their way into the Championship Series. 875 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 3: And like, theoretically it makes sense for Dallas to be 876 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 3: an elevated significant market event. Uh, the details there don't 877 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 3: make it one at all, but it seems like the 878 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,439 Speaker 3: CJ Cup Iron Nelson will be there. 879 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 2: Okay, what I'm interested about here is that we've just 880 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 2: gotten to nine Memorial June yet, right, Yeah, Memorial is ten, 881 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 2: Travelers is in. That's eleven. They will they're in the 882 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 2: BMW is theoretically. I have heard that a Chicago event 883 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 2: is locked in, because everybody's been like, where's Chicago on 884 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,439 Speaker 2: this list? I heard I've heard that there will be 885 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 2: a full time Chicago event. So that's twelve. 886 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, now I think. 887 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 2: Those are those are what I would say locks for 888 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 2: this new champions Tour, the new new look Champions Tour. 889 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 3: It's not too dissimilar from what we have now in 890 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 3: terms of the events being the haves and those that 891 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 3: are the have nots, except maybe a CJ Cup. Can 892 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 3: I ask you a question, do you think like what 893 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 3: they announced is is major major change and major rebranding. 894 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 3: I heard a lot of people, a few people, I 895 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 3: should say, say this is just codifying what already exists 896 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 3: in terms of sort of we kind of informally know 897 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 3: what events are higher or what events are more more 898 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,319 Speaker 3: significant than others. 899 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's just making it really formalized. 900 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 3: What about you, I think it's pretty major. I think 901 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 3: when you're putting up guardrails and say you cannot play, 902 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 3: you cannot play Up, you cannot play Scotti, Scheffler, you 903 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,759 Speaker 3: cannot go play Colonial, or you cannot go down, I 904 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 3: think that's a pretty major change. And I think creating 905 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,839 Speaker 3: new official brands in the series, whatever their names end 906 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 3: up being, is a pretty massive change. See change in 907 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 3: the tour. I get that it's codifying a lot of 908 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 3: things that are sort of informally exist right now. But 909 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 3: for me and the previous point I made about like 910 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 3: creating a strong central authority or government or league office. 911 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 3: I think it's a real massive change in the way 912 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 3: the PGA Tour operates. The very firm guardrails of you 913 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 3: are in this category, you are this class of series. 914 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 3: He's a player or not as I think a significant 915 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 3: change because you can't go physically, you are unable to 916 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,800 Speaker 3: go and play down. I think that's a major change. 917 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 3: In addition to the two official brandings of one series. 918 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 3: In another track, so anything else on this PGA Tour 919 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 3: commissioners now Brian roll up. We were told to plot 920 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,280 Speaker 3: Joe Gordassus to stand up and clap for the CEO 921 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 3: also becoming the commissioner, which is amusing. It's fine, I like. 922 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,800 Speaker 2: I think they cut right after that, uh to to 923 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 2: on Golf Channel to Gary Williams and Rich and Rich's 924 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 2: first question to Gary was like, how would you describe 925 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,720 Speaker 2: jabon Hand's tenure as commissioner? And I think the word 926 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 2: that Gary used, which I thought was was really good. 927 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 2: I would have struggled on the spot with this was unfulfilled. 928 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 3: Oh hey, he lasted longer. He gave us speech Chester. 929 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,879 Speaker 3: They lasted longer than Yasir Yaser got out before he did, 930 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 3: which was not what odds would have been against that, 931 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 3: and you know, prior summers to this one he did 932 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 3: give a farewell and Gordon was emphatic the transition has 933 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,879 Speaker 3: been as good as it possibly could, which, to be fair, 934 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 3: I've heard from several counts that it's been an amazing 935 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 3: like partnership. Hand and hand has been awesome being whatever, 936 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 3: helping roll Up understand the ins and outs. So yeah, 937 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 3: it was a full, full laundry list of speeches yesterday. 938 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 3: I don't know what it means that roll Up's also 939 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 3: the commissioner. Now he's got the for profit and then 940 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,799 Speaker 3: also the the league as well. He's in charge of both. 941 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 3: It kind of makes sense anyways, it. 942 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 2: Wouldn't make and if there was somebody else and then 943 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,399 Speaker 2: they get into a little tiff and it's like, how 944 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 2: do you have power? 945 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? I do? You know, you're just the title you know? 946 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 3: All right? I think that does it for the big 947 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,439 Speaker 3: PGA Tour news. Should we get into you have any 948 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 3: other straight thoughts? I guess you know what everybody's doing. 949 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 2: If you were going to uh for the kind of 950 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 2: the match. 951 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 3: Play, the tour championship event whatever, Yeah, what. 952 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 2: You know with with the idea of like it can 953 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 2: be kind of anywhere because of the light nature of it. 954 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 2: What what would be at the top, you know, top 955 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 2: couple of your of your list of places to go. 956 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 3: Like for real or for like I love Gary Williams. 957 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 3: He suggested we're going to Mullen or he would love 958 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 3: to go to Mullin Nebraska. 959 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 2: For you could go there, though, if you can, I don't. 960 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 3: Think we're going to though, do you? I think you can? 961 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 3: I don't think it's could you to be clear here, 962 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 3: is there any any chance this goes international? Only in anyway? 963 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 3: Probably though okay, there's a chance like it would be amazing. 964 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 3: But we're talking in the August time frame, so you 965 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 3: know you're in winter in Australia. 966 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 2: I mean the thing is with TV and why Mullen 967 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 2: isn't isn't a real option? Is like you're you're still 968 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 2: going to need a thousand people on site with lodging 969 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 2: and you know, food capabilities. 970 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 3: And at the bare minimum, and the pampered f's need 971 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 3: to be pampered, which they can maybe go to one 972 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 3: of the ranches. Okay, do you think Shinnakock could have it? 973 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 3: I don't think they will they could they have. 974 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 2: I think you look at these USGA that died in 975 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 2: the wool USGA clubs, which I would say are Shinnacock, 976 00:58:54,360 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 2: the Country Club, Oakmon, Marion, lacc Piners number two just 977 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 2: crossed all these off because you know, when when the 978 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 2: tour was talking about moving Pebble to the summer, the 979 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 2: Pebble wasn't super thrilled about it because of many reasons. 980 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 2: But the USCA put their thumb on the scale and said, well, 981 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 2: that's when we host the US Open there, and we 982 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 2: don't want a PGA Tour event feeling like a US Open. 983 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 3: There was there was this notion that Pebble plays better 984 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 3: and let's move it to August as a playoffs event 985 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 3: that was bandied about in the last whatever in twelve months. 986 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 2: Okay, so I would take like those out. But I 987 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 2: think there are like there's so many great venues that 988 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 2: are on the table now because of the match play. 989 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 3: You know, no infrastructure thing. Are you looking at like 990 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 3: top one hundred courses in America rankings you know, which 991 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 3: equival with the rank kings all you want, they're not 992 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 3: really rankings, but and looking at that kind of venue 993 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 3: are I think. 994 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 2: Like The one that I've seen put on there that 995 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 2: I think is totally in the mix is Banded Dunes. 996 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 2: One that I would throw in there that's new, but 997 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 2: it won't be so new by twenty twenty nine, twenty 998 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 2: thirty in the same vein as Rodeo Dunes, which, like 999 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 2: Unverish would be really cool if people could stay in 1000 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 2: Denver and go to that and all of a sudden 1001 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 2: when part doesn't matter, it makes way better if they 1002 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 2: go to Abandon. I would just urge them to play 1003 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 2: Pacific Dudes, the best golf course on the on the 1004 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,840 Speaker 2: propertyh you know, I would urge that. But then you 1005 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 2: go down more is like, what about Prairie Dunes? 1006 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 3: What can we I mean, look this ESPN, I don't 1007 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 3: know if it's a report. Got Cyprus and Pine Valley 1008 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 3: were thrown in there to put those in the same bucket, 1009 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 3: Like are we going to Chicago Golf Club? Are we 1010 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 3: going to National Golf Links of America? Are we like 1011 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 3: we're telling Walker Cup style event? 1012 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 2: I think it. I think it's possible, now, you know, 1013 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 2: I do if it if you go to a club 1014 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 2: and say there, we're bringing the sixteen best golfers on 1015 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 2: the planet your members all get to come. There's not 1016 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 2: going to be a huge grandstands, there's gonna be no ropes, 1017 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 2: and it's just gonna be televised. Event I think it 1018 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 2: opens up like a lot more places. I think, like 1019 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 2: in August is that I don't think you want to 1020 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,240 Speaker 2: do that, but Friar's head, I think that would all 1021 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 2: of a sudden be on the table. 1022 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 3: Uh Are you worried at all about like the way 1023 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 3: that how far these guys hit it right now? But 1024 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 3: it goes into effect. 1025 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 2: You know we're gonna be playing at playing at mL 1026 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 2: R according to the you know the USGA. 1027 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 3: Is wing Foot that is a USGA club. Probably not, 1028 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 3: but you're talking New York area called. 1029 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 2: Up. I think you go down the down the list 1030 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,280 Speaker 2: of like anywhere that's not you know U s g 1031 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: A like regular rotation is in the mix. 1032 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 3: What about PGA courses like Olympic and Congressional branded that 1033 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 3: they don't really have PGA courses. Think the p g 1034 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 3: A has the juice like the us Yah No, no, 1035 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 3: I think just just checking just I mean, I think 1036 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 3: there are a lot of really neat, neat potential venues 1037 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 3: that they could go, you know, sleepy Hollow, which hosted 1038 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 3: a mid am you know. 1039 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 2: More Comberset Hills Like these are places people don't know 1040 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 2: a ton about but would be super fascinating to watch. 1041 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 3: Uh, realistic, realistic outcome is what we get? Like outcome 1042 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 3: Whistley Straits type places? Is that? 1043 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I have, I'm still talking about an organization 1044 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 2: with questionable taste. You know these are This is the 1045 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 2: same organization I had fun with the write up where 1046 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 2: Kevin asked me to write up this thing about potential, 1047 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 2: Like you know, where we'll end up in and with Washington, 1048 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 2: DC is like they should ask they should really push 1049 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 2: to get congressional, but they probably won't, so we'll end 1050 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 2: up at TPC potomach or they'll just go to Caves 1051 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 2: Valley and say we've satisfied the DC market with Caves Valley. 1052 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 3: I think, I don't know, I don't want to speak. 1053 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 3: I think wouldn't Congression be open to that? I think 1054 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 3: that maybe I don't know. 1055 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 2: Every few years every year big not that, oh not no, 1056 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 2: not that. 1057 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, absolutely not that. I'm sorry. I 1058 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 3: met more of like maybe a match play, maybe the 1059 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 3: match play of that. You know a lot of places 1060 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 3: are open to that. Interesting. To be clear, these I 1061 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 3: think it's a positive development that these are quote unquote 1062 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 3: wish list. It may be superhigh in the sky, but 1063 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 3: it feels like roll App and his deputies are at 1064 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 3: least thinking the right way, or thinking aspirationally, or at 1065 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 3: least like not you know, they're starting from the right 1066 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 3: place as opposed to let's go here because FedEx lives 1067 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 3: here or because we could maybe make more money. So 1068 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 3: interesting times, exciting, exciting times to have a thrace a 1069 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 3: week podcast and then you know, focus on professional golf. 1070 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 3: So uh, could be good. Could be a good future 1071 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 3: for the PGA Tour as for the present. As for 1072 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 3: the present, let's get to our schedule for the week. 1073 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 3: This week we have the Travelers Championship AAD t PC 1074 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,720 Speaker 3: Cromwell in Hartford or Cromwell Connecticut, I guess outside of 1075 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 3: Hartford TPC River Highlands. I didn't even say it right, 1076 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 3: just notables, just like the courses we were just talking 1077 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,760 Speaker 3: about TPC. I mean, this is the only event in 1078 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 3: New England. And think about how many courses there are 1079 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 3: in New England, Like Great Court in New England you 1080 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 3: go to in late June, and we're going to TPC 1081 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 3: River Highlands. You know they could rotate, They could rotate 1082 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 3: from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut. It could bounce her out, 1083 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 3: but we do TPC River Highlands. It's a successful PGA 1084 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 3: Tour event. I just want to be clear, like the 1085 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 3: fans show up for this. It's rowdy, it's in. You know, 1086 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 3: the title sponsors spends through the nose on this, but 1087 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 3: it's not the best venue at all. Defending champ is 1088 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 3: Keegan Bradley. Notables are Ludwig PC, Patrick Cantlet, the abstainer, 1089 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 3: Tommy Fleetwood, Padeki Batsiama, Colin Morikawa, Xander Scottie, Jordan Speeth 1090 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 3: on the sponsors exemption makes notables Justin Thomas, uh this, 1091 01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 3: you know, I got a quibble. I loved I love 1092 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 3: kvv's right up today where he did, like cleaned out 1093 01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 3: the notebook from the US Open, like birdies and bogies, 1094 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 3: pars birdies and bogies, I think is how he sorted it, 1095 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 3: and he gave Justin Thomas a birdie because he finished 1096 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 3: top twenty in a major consecutively for the first time 1097 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 3: since twenty twenty two. Is this is this the framework 1098 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 3: in which we're discussing Justin Thomas. Now consecutive top twenties 1099 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 3: makes him in the birdie category. 1100 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,600 Speaker 2: Well, and he hasn't done it. 1101 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty two. Anyways, he's a notable for River Highlands. 1102 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 2: It's been a Bundy road. 1103 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,480 Speaker 3: You know that's the cutoff. Yeah, that's the cutoff we're 1104 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 3: going with. 1105 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 2: It's like, honestly, it is like a step in the 1106 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 2: right direction for where he spent. 1107 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 3: This is on golf chain. Yeah, that's why he made birdies. 1108 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 3: That's why he made birdies. I don't know. It just 1109 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 3: seems like we said held him to a higher standard. 1110 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 3: That's just a good write up by KAVV. It wasn't 1111 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 3: necessarily wrong. I just it's interesting seeing him. 1112 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 2: Sorry, you're fiv. Somebody's busting into the paint. 1113 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 3: We're back home. We're back home. Uh. I was thrown 1114 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 3: to the wolves this morning, but I can't say anything. 1115 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 3: Multiple camp drop offs, lunch, two lunches, snacks, let me 1116 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,439 Speaker 3: run around Golf Channel. This is a split between Golf 1117 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 3: Channel and NBC. Note well not on CBS. NBC gets 1118 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 3: a signature event. You know, they signed that right steal 1119 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 3: and then ended up with fewer signature events than I 1120 01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 3: think CBS has the playoffs this year, so we will 1121 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 3: not get Nance and Immelman at Cromwell. This is going 1122 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 3: to be an NBC finish. We get more Kisner facts, 1123 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 3: Dan Hicks.

What Wyndow Clark has yet to w D 1201 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,440 Speaker 2: from the post, the post. 1202 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 3: That he was doing the rounds, he's doing all the 1203 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 3: New York morning shows and the whole deal Greape Flow 1204 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 3: and no doubt the last few nights.

We knew that last week. 1207 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 5: I believe if he does w D, I think Sedarsian 1208 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 5: is the first ault. So for the sake of everybody, 1209 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 5: I think against the Darsian to bat it around TVC 1210 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 5: River Highlands could be a good time. 1211 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 3: That'd be great. Get him out. 1212 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 2: Uh, I saw, I saw just a clip he was. 1213 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 2: Wyndham went on, uh, pardon my take, and I saw 1214 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,960 Speaker 2: p f t uh suggested that he should go by 1215 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 2: by his middle name Robert and more people would like him. 1216 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,640 Speaker 3: It's a decent that's a decent suggestion. I like that. 1217 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 2: Bobby Clark. 1218 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:40,760 Speaker 4: Bobby Clark. 1219 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,040 Speaker 3: Like the hockey player. Right. 1220 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 5: He also he also revealed that at one point Baker Mayfield, 1221 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 5: his ex girlfriend, cheated on him with Baker Mayfield was 1222 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 5: also a big reveal that has gone viral was more 1223 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,320 Speaker 5: Windy Wendy Well. 1224 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: He had a tweet that said, I hate Baker Mayfield, 1225 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 2: and they asked, why. 1226 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,679 Speaker 3: Do you know what? Probably not a story I'd tell 1227 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,320 Speaker 3: on the most popular sports cast in the world. But 1228 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 3: to your point on some like interest, this is great 1229 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 3: fact to jew on. This is real stuff as opposed 1230 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 3: to just chewing on your wallet with half these guys 1231 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 3: when they talk. That's great, good story, all right, I 1232 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,360 Speaker 3: don't know what's great? Yeah, yeah, them or Baker or 1233 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 3: anybody else involved. But do you think the peach this 1234 01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 3: as an expert here? 1235 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 2: Okay, boy, I have someone who's a resident of the 1236 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 2: area of the country that golf media is attempting to 1237 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 2: cancel all future tournaments to very cool. Do you think 1238 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 2: that the Long Islanders would have felt differently towards a 1239 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 2: Bobby Clark. I feel like they would have been like, oh, 1240 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 2: it's Bobby from the Bronx. 1241 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're going to go right into Bobby 1242 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 5: box a lot there. Yeah. 1243 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 4: I think I think we could. We could, We could 1244 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 4: have done a little more than with that. 1245 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 5: Probably could have gotten a definitely some home crown advantage there. 1246 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 3: Just do it now before we get to the women's 1247 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 3: PGA and everything else. Has Long Island lost the right 1248 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 3: to have a professional golf event, a men's professional golf event, 1249 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 3: be it a Major, a Ryder Cup, or a PGA tour. 1250 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 3: Maybe one of these New York events goes to Beth 1251 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 3: Page seems likely. I'm more partially Long Island people. I 1252 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 3: came home with sixty rolls from one of Long Island's 1253 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 3: best bakers that showed up at our event, just overflowing 1254 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 3: with rolls. Right now, have they lost the right to 1255 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 3: have an event? Aiman said, these people, or you people, 1256 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,800 Speaker 3: don't deserve it. They've shown themselves out. I saw a 1257 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:53,280 Speaker 3: sky Sports Jimmie Weirers. That is poisonous PG. I'll let 1258 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 3: you go first defend out. 1259 01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 5: I'm just you know, Aimin at least was on property 1260 01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,439 Speaker 5: and was there. He didn't stay for Sunday, but at 1261 01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 5: least he was around. My problem was with the people 1262 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 5: who are just tweeting things, who were not even at 1263 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 5: the US Open, who just decide to spin these narratives 1264 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 5: however they want. 1265 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 4: No. 1266 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 5: I don't think that Long Island has lost the right 1267 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 5: to have golf events. And I think anybody comparing the 1268 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,920 Speaker 5: Ryder Cup crowd to the crowd on Sunday Hinnacock is 1269 01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 5: out of their minds. 1270 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 4: Those are not even in the same ballpark. 1271 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:32,800 Speaker 3: I think there's a unique circumstances on Sunday and that 1272 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 3: might have occurred somewhere other than Long Island. We would 1273 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 3: have had that similar behavior. I think Long Island definitely 1274 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 3: it's more acute and more intense crowds. I quite frankly 1275 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 3: saw this happening at like twenty sixteen, and we'll go 1276 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,760 Speaker 3: to Women's PGA here in a minute. We saw this 1277 01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 3: having a Hazel team Ryder Cup. Like I as far 1278 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 3: as I note back that like I've seen crowds kind 1279 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 3: of be degrade. 1280 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say this would never happen in 1281 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 2: the Midwest, an area of the country this devoid or 1282 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,640 Speaker 2: completely completely void of major championships. 1283 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 3: I mean it would though it would happen in Detroit, it. 1284 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 2: Wouldn't happen in a great city like Chicago or Cleveland. 1285 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,320 Speaker 5: You're making a lot of declarative statements right now ahead 1286 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:18,920 Speaker 5: of the Pea Cup. 1287 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 4: You don't know what the Peacup crowd has all. 1288 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,960 Speaker 2: I think I've been talking to the international side about 1289 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,879 Speaker 2: strategies for charm offensive. 1290 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,639 Speaker 5: I know, I know you have, But is that going 1291 01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 5: to work when when the chips are down maybe on 1292 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 5: Saturday afternoon, I don't know. 1293 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 2: I think Goes Chicagoans are are ready to hop on 1294 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 2: the international team permanently. 1295 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, you know the haughty Europeans 1296 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,479 Speaker 3: over there, it happens over there too. Just what about 1297 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 3: Brian Harmon. Brian Harmon Scotty said he was getting it 1298 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 3: at Port Rush. I remember when they yelled in Tiger's 1299 01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:02,519 Speaker 3: backswing at Carnoustie in eighteen. Yeah, they're not as vile 1300 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 3: maybe as the Long Islanders. I just I think I'm 1301 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 3: speaking from the American side. I've seen it been happening. 1302 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 3: I've seen it happening in several different locations outside Long Island. 1303 01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 3: I think One Island takes it to a particularly intense 1304 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:22,360 Speaker 3: level and acute level. And Sunday was an odd cocktail 1305 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 3: of circumstances that made made you want to root for intrigue, 1306 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 3: made you want to root against window. So anyways, but 1307 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,839 Speaker 3: good for the take business, good for the take industry, 1308 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:35,680 Speaker 3: the great great take industry. 1309 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 5: You know, you don't we said all week, you know, 1310 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,719 Speaker 5: with the course set up stuff, a lot of takes 1311 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,400 Speaker 5: from people who weren't at the course seeing it in person. 1312 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 5: More takes from people not at the course here at 1313 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 5: in person. Yeah, thanks everybody, Way to go. 1314 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 2: I think there's a case that we should host every 1315 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 2: tournament on Long Island. I agree, and thus we get 1316 01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 2: to talk about how awful Long Island is every week. 1317 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 3: Continue with our schedule for the week, we have the 1318 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 3: Women's PGA Championship at Hazel Team National Golf Club, WHIPTI 1319 01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 3: do twenty twenty five champions Minji Lee. Notables are Nelly 1320 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 3: Corda not going for the Super Slam, She's already won 1321 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,200 Speaker 3: a women's PGA. The Super Slam options are at the 1322 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:25,679 Speaker 3: Women's Open and the Avon which is naive spelled backwards. 1323 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 3: We have the Taku, Charlie Hall, Ronnie Yun, Lottie Woad, 1324 01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 3: Hannah Green, Minji obviously defending say On Kim, so all 1325 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 3: everyone's showing up. This is, you know, women's major champion 1326 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,759 Speaker 3: one B two behind the women's US US Women's Open. 1327 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 3: This is Golf Channel eleven to three on Thursday and Friday, 1328 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 3: three to five on NBC Saturday, and then at one 1329 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,839 Speaker 3: o'clock finish on NBC on Sunday. 1330 01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 2: So this is the event of the week. I think, 1331 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:06,840 Speaker 2: you know, we're we're looking at can Neliicorda go three 1332 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 2: for three on the year. This should be a huge 1333 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 2: story and in all of sports. 1334 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 3: It isn't. Right now. 1335 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:20,639 Speaker 2: I would also point out what we talked about ahead 1336 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:24,080 Speaker 2: of the of the US Women's Open, how the schedule 1337 01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 2: really worked, where you had the memorial playing early, the 1338 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 2: women playing later. This is an example of where collaboration 1339 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 2: has to happen. The tour announces this huge news like 1340 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,080 Speaker 2: if you if you live in a world where you 1341 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,920 Speaker 2: think like all aspects of the game can grow together, right, 1342 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 2: the tour announces it's huge news. It has a signature, 1343 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 2: one of their signature events playing in the exact same 1344 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 2: time slot as a women's major. And that, just like frankly, 1345 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,680 Speaker 2: is going to divide audiences. And you know, I'm not 1346 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 2: saying which audience, which event you should choose or what. 1347 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 2: You know, how you spend your weekend watching golf should 1348 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 2: be one way or the other. But naturally the golf 1349 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 2: fans in the world have to choose, and they're going 1350 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 2: to pick one or the other. And you know it's 1351 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 2: going to suppress both rings, both ratings and audiences. 1352 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,719 Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of hazeltine over the last fifteen 1353 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 3: to twenty years. But we're back Women's PGA Championship. We'll 1354 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,520 Speaker 3: have Megan matthew On probably discuss the final, how that proceeds. 1355 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,720 Speaker 3: Over the next week. Elsewhere, we have a Good Good 1356 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 3: Golf Tour at the West Point Golf Club. Why is 1357 01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 3: this so on schedule for the week. It's a new 1358 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,120 Speaker 3: event on Golf Channel Wednesday night. I don't know the 1359 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:47,480 Speaker 3: Good Good Golf Tour, but the Champions Golf Tour, the influencer, 1360 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess it's on Golf. 1361 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 2: N in our schedule of the week. 1362 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:56,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and just reading it off like Anchorman, PGA Tour Champions, 1363 01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 3: Dick's Open and got listed York. I can't go to 1364 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,080 Speaker 3: either the twenty twenty five champion with Steve Allen. Couldn't 1365 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 3: pick him out of a lineup, but I know he 1366 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 3: won it on Hell Cabrera, kJ Choy, Padrick Harrington from 1367 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 3: Shinnacock up to Endicott, Bernhard, Rory Sabatini. So at least 1368 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 3: one Rory's playing this week. Steve Stricker and David Toms. 1369 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 3: This is on tape to Lay nine to eleven PM 1370 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 3: on Friday. 1371 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,720 Speaker 2: I remember last year watching this late night. The broadcast 1372 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 2: is like it feels like you're watching like a nineteen 1373 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 2: ninety five golf broadcast. 1374 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 3: If you if you're into that kind of thing. Saturday, 1375 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 3: the Saturday TV window is one hour. I would say, 1376 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,640 Speaker 3: like why even do it five to six pm? Like 1377 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 3: watch two and a half holes, three holes? 1378 01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 2: Know what this is? 1379 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:47,880 Speaker 3: What is that? 1380 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 2: This is another example of Blockie disrespect. 1381 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:53,639 Speaker 3: Sunday four to six. 1382 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 4: What if he wins? 1383 01:21:56,240 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 3: This is not a non zero chance he's been Yeah, 1384 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 3: it's certainly possible. He's fifty hits it far hits it 1385 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 3: decently far for some of these guys. 1386 01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 2: Shouldn't he be playing the good Good tour? 1387 01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 3: Yeah it's good.

We'll see where they fit into the 1407 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 3: whole puzzle of professional golf. We have the Italian Open, 1408 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 3: a great National Open at golf to Reno Golf Club 1409 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,920 Speaker 3: and to Reno, the defending champ is Adrian Sattier. By 1410 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,839 Speaker 3: A Staire is playing coming over from Live, Brandon Grace 1411 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 3: is a notable, the Southern Guardsman, the Molinari's Joaquin Neeman 1412 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 3: fresh from Shinniakock.

That's your Italian Open, that's coffee golf, 1419 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,960 Speaker 3: someven to ten am with a eleven am finish on 1420 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 3: Sunday at National Open. What you make of Rory having 1421 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,080 Speaker 3: an issue like a singular or not having to issuing 1422 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,759 Speaker 3: a statement yesterday, I thought that was interesting. We had 1423 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 3: he was the only player that came out. Tiger, of course, 1424 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:18,599 Speaker 3: gave his interview or his intro. Rory came out and said, 1425 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,760 Speaker 3: you know, this is great for the fans, and the 1426 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 3: tour released it, and Rory, I think the tour released 1427 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:23,880 Speaker 3: on behalf of Rory. 1428 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he was such a central figure 1429 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,360 Speaker 2: of this whole setup and where it got to that 1430 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:36,839 Speaker 2: it was it was, it was good. How about Tiger 1431 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 2: just you know, just getting rolled out there for the 1432 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 2: for the intro. 1433 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:42,639 Speaker 3: I mean I did. I was asked to a little 1434 01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,719 Speaker 3: social videos like how often is Tiger's first appearance since rehab? 1435 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 3: Like the fifteenth story. He just kind of came, was 1436 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,240 Speaker 3: not going to take questions, knew that wasn't happening, and said, hello, 1437 01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 3: I think it was important probably for the tour to 1438 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,519 Speaker 3: have him there, hopefully important for him. Hopefully he feels 1439 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 3: some clarity and purpose, and that was part of it. 1440 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,559 Speaker 3: I thought the royal statement might have been a little 1441 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 3: have something to do with this comments from last week 1442 01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 3: and and sort of you know, trying to put his 1443 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,040 Speaker 3: flag in the ground of this is how I really feel. 1444 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 3: This is great and I mean. 1445 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,600 Speaker 2: That's the uh. I mean what he said is so 1446 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 2: true though last week about it being glorified corn fairy. 1447 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 2: It is it's a better version of the corn Fairy, 1448 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 2: is what it is. Yeah, in a more select PGA tour. 1449 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,800 Speaker 3: I agree. He also said maybe the old way was fine. 1450 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,720 Speaker 3: I think that was part. Maybe they were like, I 1451 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:48,519 Speaker 3: don't know, I think he's probably happy with the new 1452 01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see. It was he's reaching like Arnold 1453 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,160 Speaker 3: Palmer levels. If you're you have the tours releasing a 1454 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 3: statement from singular voices, right, you know they're not doing 1455 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,479 Speaker 3: that for too many people. I thought it was interesting 1456 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,280 Speaker 3: that he got his own statement of support, and Tiger 1457 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 3: you know, obviously did the intro, So all right, that 1458 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 3: does it big? One question? 1459 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,640 Speaker 2: I got a question, Peach, how does it feel that 1460 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,760 Speaker 2: PCA roll into your town and just keep keep the 1461 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:16,479 Speaker 2: train rolling. 1462 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:18,760 Speaker 5: How does it feel to be the first guy ever 1463 01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 5: thrown out taking second base on a walk? I mean, 1464 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 5: that's it's kind of incredible. 1465 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 3: What happened to. 1466 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:29,160 Speaker 2: Uh? 1467 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 5: He was stealing second on a three to two on 1468 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 5: a three to two pitch, so he slid through the 1469 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,479 Speaker 5: base and they said he because he touched the base 1470 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 5: and then he came off the base. 1471 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:43,920 Speaker 4: He was then out. 1472 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 3: Sounds like my son's you know team. 1473 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 5: Because even though he was given the base, he ran 1474 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 5: through the base and then he was out. 1475 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,920 Speaker 3: So it's a new play, new new Yeah. 1476 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 5: I'd never seen it before, but there you go, PC 1477 01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:58,599 Speaker 5: and making history. 1478 01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 3: Interesting. I thought he like got walked and rounded first 1479 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:06,200 Speaker 3: and started running for second or something. Okay, that's interesting. 1480 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 3: I love that. But he's he's hitting Homer's that's the 1481 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:10,559 Speaker 3: point I think. 1482 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he. 1483 01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 5: Hit off a Code Senga like everybody. Everybody can do that. 1484 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,479 Speaker 5: Go go, give, give, give every player in the league 1485 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 5: a chance. 1486 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,320 Speaker 2: Seems like he's just moving up the ranks of the 1487 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 2: best baseball players. 1488 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 3: I don't think no podcasts, including Cubs Baseball or any 1489 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,600 Speaker 3: other genre, talks about PCA more than this golf podcast. 1490 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 2: I don't think just a lightning rod. Justin's just been 1491 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:47,639 Speaker 2: amazed by PCA. He's not real pacese basically every day 1492 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 2: is Homer. 1493 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 3: All right?
