Appreciate everyone listening, 22 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: and let's talk some PGA Tour. I remember, I don't know, 23 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: several years ago Hunter Mayhon, former PGA Tour winner, former 24 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Ryder Cupper, is a big football guy, and we become 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: buddies over the years, and I remember him telling me, 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was on a podcast I 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: had him on or just when we were bsing on text, 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: that players don't like this course and that Tiger didn't 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: like this course, but he played out of reverence for 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: a legend, Arnold Palmer. But I play at TPC. So 31 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: Tony Finow and I think his oldest son actice there 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: a lot. They go to the back of the range, 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: no one bothers him. And I remember one year, this 34 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: would have been maybe two or three years ago. This 35 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure was an elevated event and Tony didn't 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: go and I ran into him right at like kind 37 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: of the cart barn where you get your balls and 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: for the tour players, he goes up and if he 39 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: plays pro V's or he plays whatever his ball is, 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, would imagine the title this guy. They have 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: a special bag for all the tour players, you know, 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: Nick Taylor, Maxhoma, Joel Damon, whoever wants to practice there, 43 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: wynham Clark if he wants to come, Jake Knapp right, 44 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: that they get their own balls because unlike US casuals, 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: you don't practice with balls that you're not gonna hit 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: in the round, so you can feel the distances and 47 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: watch how the ball moves. Novel concept, but hey, that's 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: being a pro. Remember asking like why aren't you There's 49 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: like I don't like this quse I hate that course, 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: and because of the points that year or whatever, he 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: didn't need to go, but he wasn't a big fan, 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: just like I think most guys. And one thing Hunter 53 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: told me, if you go back to the Byron Nelson 54 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: when he was alive, players felt obligated to go, right, 55 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: So Jack's tournament, Arnold's tournament, and Byron Nelson's tournament when 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: they're all alive, there's like an obligation to attend. It 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: almost be like if there was a basketball tournament. Magic 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: Johnson hosted one, Michael Jordan hosted one, and Larry Bird 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: hosted one. And throughout the year the NBA Cup was 60 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: three different NBA Cups, and instead of guys sitting out, 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: they would always play in that. Well, if one day 62 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: one of those guys died, you wouldn't feel as obligated. 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: Right when he's sitting in the front row and greeting 64 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: you after the game like Jack does, like Arnold did, 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: and Byron Nelson did. There's a human element to this, 66 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: and I just wonder. Brian Rolapp is not a golf guy. 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: He's even said one of his great advantages is I'm 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: not a country club guy. I don't look at through 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the lens of This is how it's always been. This 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: is what we do. I come from the NFL. We 71 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: will pivot and do whatever it takes. Now this is 72 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: a historic venue because it's Arnold. Well he's gone. Now 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: we have new leadership with no ties to this. The 74 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: players have never had more juice. I do wonder if 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: over the next several years, this tournament kind of gets 76 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: thrown to the wayside. I don't think they would ever 77 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: not play at Bayhill, but it would not shock me 78 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: if they truly go to the tier system where you 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: have the top guys, the top seventy guys playing in 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: their own tournaments, and then the bottom guys trying to 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: qualify to make those tournaments. This becomes a second tier 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: event that would never have happened if Arnold Palmer was alive, 83 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: but he's not. Memorial. Probably the course is a lot 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: nicer that whether Jack was around or not. I think 85 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: that's you know, feels like a riv It feels like, 86 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, a pebble beach. It feels like a main 87 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: the players. That's kind of unique because it's the PGA Tour, 88 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, like a mainstay on 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. I do wonder if this thing's gonna 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: have to fight for life and fight for serious life. 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: That would be my one takeaway because when Hunter said 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: that Tiger wanted all the time and stand that place 93 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: and you watch, it doesn't look like a fun course 94 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: to play. I mean, for me, the most memorable moment 95 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: besides some of Tiger's putts on eighteen are when Bryson 96 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: just juiced up like he was Patrick Willis or you know, 97 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, and he flew the ball over the water 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: on whole six. It felt like it flew seven hundred 99 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: yards and he still made park because it actually was 100 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: a bad angle to try to get up and down. 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: It was funny, but that was an all time when 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: he put his arms up. That to me will be 103 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: the post Arnold most important moment. But when you look 104 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: at the you know, the the vibe for this course, 105 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: I think it's diminished greatly. So as an early betting 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: take would be, I would bet on this course kind 107 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: of to get thrown to the way, thrown to the 108 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: wolves a little bit and potentially become as time goes on, 109 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: if they go tier systems, a second tier event. Now 110 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: the top guys are playing this week, and Scotty got 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: one of his first wins on the PGA Tour here. 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: I think he had won at Waste Management in twenty 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: twenty two, and either a week or two later he 114 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: won here, so it might be a second career win. 115 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four he won. In twenty twenty three, 116 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: he finished T four. Last year he probably played like 117 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: crap shot eleventh. Remember he was coming back from the 118 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: Ravioli incident. You know, at plus three twenty five, Scottie 119 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: Scheffler is like an even par round on a Thursday 120 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: from already having like five wins. So to me, I 121 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: don't see how you do not bet on Scottie Scheffler 122 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: this week, he's had success. He clearly knows going in, 123 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: I just have to keep the train on the tracks 124 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: on Thursday, I don't need to shoot five under. Can 125 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: I just shoot even park? Can I shoot one under? 126 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: Can I just be in twentieth place? I mean consistently 127 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: over the last several weeks. You gotta scroll way down 128 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: the leader board on you know, the PGA website or 129 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: ESPN dot com to find where Scotty Scheffler is. He 130 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: did not play last week. Obviously the cognizant I would 131 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: imagine a refreshed guy ready to roll, and to me, 132 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hammer him a plus three twenty five. Another 133 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: guy who easily could have won last year was calling Morekawa, 134 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: and you know, he showed serious signs of life at 135 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Pebble obviously one. But to me, it wasn't just winning 136 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: because he was kind of hit or miss on Sunday. 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: It was like, okay, he still got it when he 138 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: shot ten under on Saturday. I do wonder if kind 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: of telling everybody after he wins, you can see the 140 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: almost like the weight. You know, let's face it, Morikawa 141 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: is supposed to be one of our horses right now, 142 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: there's you know, when you separate the I look at 143 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: it through the lens of the Ryder Cup and we 144 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: could even throw like a Hoodci on the Ryder Cup crew. 145 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: We have the elite international guys. When it comes to us, 146 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: we have our Tom Brady, our Patrick Mahomes, our Lebron James, 147 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: and that's Scottie Scheffler, and then we need three or 148 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: four guys to immediately draft off him. You could argue 149 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: it's Bryson too a little bit, but you know, on 150 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: live it's harder to keep up with. I think then, 151 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, Colin in theory should be in the in 152 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the crew of right there with Xander as being one 153 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: of our best players. He's not as long as some 154 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: of these guys, but he's more than long enough, and 155 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: he should be an elite iron player, and his talent 156 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: is immense. Like I think, if he can just not 157 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: get injured, like he's probably a twenty time PGA Tour winner. 158 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: He already has two majors. A little weird, I mean, 159 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: one of them had no fans, But like I think 160 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: you would bet on Colin Morikawa over the next ten 161 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: years winning another major. Right, I definitely think it's possible 162 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: for him to win at Augusta. He was right in 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: the mix a couple of years ago, and I think 164 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: when you are you could argue it was the first 165 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: time he truly kind of you know, I know he 166 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: struggled with putting, but like, is this got a good 167 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: player that There was a lot of talk last year 168 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: of like Kegan, why are you putt him on the 169 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup. I was one of those guys I would 170 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: not take Colin Morikawa on the Ryder Cup. It wasn't 171 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: because of Colin Moricowa's resume. His resume is a lock 172 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: Rder Cup guy every two years, but the way he 173 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: was playing and trending is like this does not look good, 174 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: especially going up against They were on fire, right from 175 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: Rory who had an incredible year, to Fleetwood who had 176 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: just won the Tour Championship, to Rosie who had been 177 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: in the mix at the Masters, who almost, I mean 178 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: fuck could have won the Masters. Shane Lowry to. I mean, 179 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: their team was stacked and that's why they kicked our ass. 180 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: But they should not kick our ass if guys like 181 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: him and Xander are playing at a high level, because no, 182 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: they're never going to be Tiger or phil or Scottie Scheffler. 183 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: But they can be in that next year and make 184 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars and be one of our 185 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: top players. So to me, you can get Morikawa to 186 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: finish top ten here at two to one. This is 187 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: all on hard rock bet. In my last a little 188 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: bit of a sleeper is Southern guy Keith Mitchell, Kashmir Keith. 189 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: You can get him minus one oh five to top thirty. 190 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: And I think this course it's not the most fun watch. 191 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the rough is always brutal. You gotta hit 192 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: the fairway. Well, what do more cow and Keith Mitchell 193 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: do a lot pretty accurate off the tee. So now 194 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: does Keith Mitchell have like win potential? Probably not? Right? 195 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: Do What do I think Keith Mitchell's gonna win this week? 196 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: I do not. Do I think that he could top twenty? 197 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: I do so to me, Keith Mitchell is a guy 198 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: that I like a lot. So I think Scotty is 199 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: the only the guy of the favorites that I would 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: feel comfortable on, which is crazy because he's plus three 201 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: twenty five. And the one thing you know when you 202 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: bet Scotty is even if it gets off to a 203 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: bumpy start. Fucking guy's gonna be there when the dust settles, 204 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: which is really all you can ask for from a 205 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: golf gambling standpoint.

I think one thing that 235 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: makes golf or historically has a lot different than other 236 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: sports is like when you lose twenty eight to three 237 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: right in the Super Bowl, as the Falcons did, It's 238 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: not one guy's fault. Everyone starts imploding right, Everyone gets tight, 239 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: the coaches, the players stopped making plays. They're disastrous plays. 240 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Guys slip right. If you're the Yankees and you're up 241 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: three nothing against the red sox. It takes a team 242 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: effort for you to blow that. So like you lose 243 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: as a group, you know in tennis, but specifically golf, 244 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: because I would say more people casually probably have probably 245 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: swung a golf club than swung a tennis racket. You're 246 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: kind of just out there by yourself and we all know. 247 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care what your handicap is, whether 248 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: you're a twenty or whether you're the fakes three in 249 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: the history of golf, like me, because when you have 250 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: a child. I played a couple weeks ago for the 251 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: first time. I was playing some of the best golf 252 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: of my life, right before Jack was born. I plan 253 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: out of TPC a couple weeks before the tournament a 254 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: couple easy seventy five seventy sixes. And this is like 255 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the not quite the tips I typically play, where the 256 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: guys play, but right around the tournament they kind of 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: x that out. It's a little up, it's not quite 258 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: as hard, but still you shoot seventy five seventy six 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: out there from their version of the blacks before the tournament. 260 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: Like that's I was playing good golf, and I played 261 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: the other day and I shot eighty nine, so it 262 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: can leave you fast. But I think we all can 263 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: relate to whether you're shooting eighty nine ninety one hundred 264 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: or whether you're shooting seventy is we've all been out 265 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: there cruising along, maybe get off to a hot start 266 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: like par or par or par birdie, Bogie par birdie. 267 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I'm one under after nine, like 268 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: could this be? Could this be the round of my life? 269 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: Or just around where you're like, you know, if you're 270 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: shooting ninety normally, you're like, I'm on whole eleven and 271 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: if I just kind of keep this going, I'm gonna 272 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: shoot like eighty one. And then all of a sudden 273 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: you make a bad swing and that ball goes left 274 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: or right, and you immediately forget everything you've done, all 275 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: those swings, all those good holes, all that money you're 276 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: taking off your buddies disappears like that. Your confidence is gone. 277 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: And to me it used to happen. I started playing 278 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: golf in the nineties. Golf was hard. You know why, 279 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: the equipment sucked? Hitting the fairway, hitting the ball far, 280 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: hitting the ball straight was extremely difficult. In nineteen ninety five, 281 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: Do you know what is not difficult. Someone like me 282 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: so that I practiced a lot could get down to 283 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: a two or three without practicing that much because I 284 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: got modern technology in clubs and golf balls doesn't spin 285 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: as much. Even I play a cut, it doesn't unless 286 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: I hit make an awful swing. I should just play 287 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: a baby cut. Well, when I was playing, by the 288 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: time I got to high school in like two o three, 289 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: the technology it started to improve, but definitely when I 290 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: was in junior high I couldn't break ninety to save 291 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: my life. It was really really difficult. So when you 292 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: throw back to I would imagine people that watch golf 293 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: in the seventies, the eighties, the nineties. This goes to 294 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Greg Norman at the Masters in nine ninety six. You 295 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: could truly have implosions because the ball went all over 296 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the place. And now when you lose your confidence, most 297 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: of these guys it's like, hey, I just got to 298 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: get a bogie here, a bogie in the next three 299 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: holes to win the tournament. Even if those guys had 300 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: lost their swing, with the modern technology, to me, they 301 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: could choke down that they could play a fairway finer. 302 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: They could figure it out. Back then you were fucked 303 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: and to me, for the first time in a long time, 304 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: you watched a high end player. I'm this guy that's 305 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: won a major. This is one of a very important 306 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: player in the Ryder Cup. He even mentioned this in 307 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: his post round comments after losing the tournament that like, 308 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: I looked at my caddy and I said, how could 309 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: I have done so well in Long Island at the 310 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup with all the chaos going around, basically being 311 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: Rory's bodyguard and birdying holes and then implode when I 312 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: had a three or four shot lead with four or 313 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: five holes to go. I think I think it was 314 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: four holes to go, might have been three actually sixteen 315 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: seventeen pumps in the water twice, and I thought it 316 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: was really humanizing and to me, the one thing we've 317 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: lost with the influx of just how good technology is 318 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: and how good these balls are, which benefit us casual guys, 319 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: Like if you're a fifteen and you have old clubs, 320 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: like you could probably get down to a single digit 321 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: if you just upgrade your clubs and play a better 322 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: golf ball. Anyone knows if you're like a five or six, 323 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: and you're not that far away from being a one 324 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: or two, you know, a couple lessons, little practice, and 325 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: that that was not the case thirty years ago. It 326 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: just wasn't and that's why we just don't get these 327 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: moments anymore. Of Shane Lowry pumping balls into the water 328 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: like not even close, never had a chance. It wasn't like, God, 329 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: that was a shitty bounce off of rock. It was 330 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: literally right at the water both times. Couldn't have been 331 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: a worse swing, and I thought it was like the 332 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: most relatable I wanted Shane lower I was rooting for 333 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: the guy to win, but it just felt like golf 334 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: needs more of these moments. And one thing more, Cowell 335 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: got crushed last year when he started avoiding the press. 336 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: I think it was after Bayhill when he blew it 337 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: and he pushed back. It might have been another term 338 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: I don't even remember. He pushed back multiple times like 339 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't owe you anything, and it's like that part 340 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: of this business is entertainment, and part of entertaining when 341 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: you're in sports, are humanizing yourself to the consumer. And 342 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: Shane Lowry, because I thought the moment he imploded, he 343 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: didn't just lose the tournament. He lost by multiple shots 344 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: at one point in time, with like four holes left. 345 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: He was nineteen hunder and the guy behind him was 346 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: fifteen hunderd. I saw the percentages win percentage ninety five percent. 347 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: I would say a player of his caliber at a 348 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: place in which he's excelled, felt like a ninety nine 349 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: point nine percent. There's obviously human error, it's golf, and 350 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: that's what happened. But I think he wins that tournament, 351 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: especially the way he was playing. He was dominating on Sunday, 352 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: just like a lot of US casuals have had great 353 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: runs and then it's over like that and you can't 354 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: get it back. And I just thought it was riveting television. 355 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: And I thought him after going on camera and doing 356 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: an interview, which a lot of guys skip lately, you know, 357 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: Rory did this, started it with Bryce in a couple 358 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: of years ago at the US Open. Mari Cowam made 359 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: a big deal with this, and I remember some of 360 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: the older guys rock O Media were, you know, Padrick Harrington, 361 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: We're kind of pound on the table like this is 362 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: you can't do this. We're in the business here like that. 363 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: That private jet you fly in, that mansion you live 364 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: in is because of the consumer. You think it's because 365 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: of the golf. There are a lot of great golfers 366 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: all over you know, the world. No one pays to 367 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: watch them play golf on TV. Now you could argue 368 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: you're better than them, but this money comes from the 369 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: sponsors because we watch right Where do you think, where 370 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: does Steph Curry and Lebron's money come from the television contracts? 371 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: Where do all the NFL money come the television contracts? 372 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: So to be a great reality television show like you 373 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: saying and getting on camera to go like, I don't 374 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: know what happened. I've never lost it like that and 375 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: what hurts me the most. And I think this resonated 376 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: with a lot of people, whether you have a kid 377 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: or not. I thought, for the first time, my four 378 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: year old daughter was going to see me win and 379 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: run out on the green, and how could he not 380 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: think that? What a cool moment that is when any 381 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: guy wins on the PGA Tour and their young kid 382 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: with their wife, you know, or or parents running behind them. 383 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: You know, get that, hug. It's one of the more 384 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: genuine moments in sports. And I commend Shane Lowry for 385 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: doing that because you know, I mean, let's face it, 386 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: his best friend who's been great to the media, and 387 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: Brandle defended him last year when he was kind of 388 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: getting crushed. It's like, yeah, he made a mistake at 389 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: the US Open, But it's like I've said this forever 390 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: and roll app coming from the NFL, I would mandate 391 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: if you are in the top ten, you know, whether 392 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: you win or whether you're seven, If the media wants 393 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: to talk to you, you should talk. Because that's how the 394 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: NFL works. Quarterback talks after every game, coach talks after 395 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: every game. Mandated players talk after every game and are 396 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: mandated once throughout the week. Like that's the business we're in. 397 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: I was thinking this at the Combine, like part of 398 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: the reason the NFL is so big, it's the NFL Combine, 399 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: and there is just digital show after digital show after 400 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: digital show. I mean radios fuck now, but these digital 401 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: shows and all these it's like the team website pumping 402 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: out the contents. The consumer wants to see that. And 403 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: I think Shane deserves a lot of credit because it 404 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: would have been an easy one. I actually think some 405 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: people might have defended him. It's like or defended him 406 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: right that, Yeah, I get it. I might not have 407 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: talked either, So props to him, and props to just 408 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: an all time implosion. I mean, I listen, I don't 409 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: want to see guys suffer. But you could argue the 410 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: most entertaining thing in all of golf beside like great golf, 411 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: right Scotti Scheffler just kicking someone's eat as Rory McElroy 412 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: winning the Masters, or Bryce and d Chambeau, beside like 413 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: the great players winning big tournaments. On just random tournaments 414 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: like this, are guys imploding like you just it's riveting. 415 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: You are glued to your couch watching this guy hit 416 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: balls into the water that you go, I think I 417 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: might have been able to hit the green there. Or 418 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: it's like Shane, why don't you aim way left? And 419 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: it's golf man. Okay, last but not least. Riviera a 420 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, we haven't talked about. I don't even care. 421 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: It rained. The tournament wasn't as good. It's been well 422 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: documented in golf circles. It sucks. And Tiger that talked 423 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: that week had had discussed that, like, yeah, we're gonna 424 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: think long and hard because clearly they're gonna cut tournaments, 425 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna make elevated events at these big venues, and 426 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: like they had a rainstorm last or a couple of 427 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: weeks ago in Los Angeles, right when I was flying 428 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: back from Coward, it started to pour and Tiger said 429 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: it pretty well, there are certain months of the year 430 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: you almost one hundred percent. No, this isn't even an option. 431 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: And one thing that has floated out there, I saw 432 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: Taylor Zarzer, who for those of you guys that watch 433 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: the Golf Channel, he's on the Golf Channel. He's the 434 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Titans play by play guy. I was just, you know, 435 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: between introducing myself to coaches and gms, I'm like, I 436 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: want to talk to Taylor Zarser. So I went up 437 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: and introduced myself. We started talking golf because I saw 438 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: this cliff of him talking that he remembered the last 439 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: time Anthony Kim won on the PGA Tour. He was 440 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: interviewing him. So he loves golf. I do too, So 441 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: we got along immediately. And one thing Taylor said was, 442 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: and these rumors have been out there, they're trying to 443 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 1: figure out, like is the waste management which is going 444 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: to be the opening for the PGA Tour that is 445 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: the week they are going to open, and the Thunderbirds, 446 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: which are the big, you know, kind of charity group 447 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: that run the tournament are kind of adamant that they 448 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: want to keep it super Bowl week, and I would 449 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: push back against that. I would make it the week 450 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: after Super Bowl. The one thing golf has going for 451 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: it is beside football, everything is open. Baseball, basketball, nothing 452 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: and I mean nothing has the market corner. That's one 453 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: thing Roger realized years back that I am so much 454 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: bigger than all these motherfuckers. I don't give a shit. Christmas, 455 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: I want it, Black Friday, I want it. Then they 456 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: play games on Martin Luther King Day, which notorious. They 457 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: didn't give it. They don't care at all. They go, 458 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: We're way bigger, big bang takes a little bank sit 459 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: on the sideline, and to me, golf and obviously it's 460 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm not comparing it to basketball or baseball as a sport. 461 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Those sports are bigger in terms of the amount of 462 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: people that play. And historically, if you put on a 463 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: big basketball game or a big baseball game, more people 464 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: are gonna watch unless you have a tiger like figure. Right. 465 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: But I think in this day and age, with everything 466 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: so splintered, that basically right after the Super Bowl till 467 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: training camp starts is complete, open real estate. Everything is 468 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: for the taking, and you can get primetime events. Riv 469 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: Pebble Beach Tory. I got no problems. You can't do 470 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: the waste management in July or August. Here it's one 471 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen degrees. It would be miserable. You can 472 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: catch your boy out there swinging it around, but you 473 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: could not have a PGA event. So I'm all for starting. 474 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: I would mandate if I'm rollapp like, we're starting this 475 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: the week after super Bowl because this notion like there's 476 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: a comdown or whatever. What do you watch after super Bowl? 477 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously what, I've watched a couple of these 478 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: primetime NBA games over the last couple of weeks. I 479 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: tried to watch unless sometimes guys are hurt. They're a 480 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: fucking horrendous product. I watched the Steph Curry list Warriors 481 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: against the Lakers the other night. I lasted five minutes. 482 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not giving my time to this. And 483 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: one thing that we've seen in the NBA is a 484 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: lot of stars don't play. So when you get these 485 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: games on the weekend, as we move forward, like you 486 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: can go total toe with them and baseball inventory is 487 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of a unique sport, right because people don't really 488 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: consume the regular season that much. So I think if 489 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: your roll app and with Tiger, you move the West 490 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: Coast swing to the middle of the summer because you 491 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: know the weather's good, especially at Tory and Pebble Beach 492 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: even Riff, Like, you're not talking one hundred degrees in 493 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: any of these places. And then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 494 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: you get primetime viewing on the East Coast. To me, 495 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. But the number one thing I 496 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: would do is I would make waste management the week 497 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: after Super Bowl. I would not go head to head 498 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: with Super Bowl because I just think you get lost 499 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: in the shuffle. I really do. And it's kind of 500 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: tough because next year the Super bowls I think Valentine's 501 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: Day the fourteenth, go the next week, why not? Like what? 502 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: So basically they get off, you know, November to the 503 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: middle of February, and then golf comes back and you 504 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: feel it. What does football have going for it? We 505 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: don't get to watch a game till after the Super Bowl. 506 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even count the preseason anymore till 507 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: like the beginning of September, and it builds up an appetite, 508 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: it builds up the demand. So to me after the 509 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl on waste management and move the West Coast 510 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: venues and one thing that will be interesting. Golf's different 511 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: than football, but in role apps former role doing Thursday 512 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: Night football, which he was a big part of, No 513 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: one cares in the NFL. If you played New York 514 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: on a Sunday, maybe your next Thursday Night game is 515 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: in Dallas and you're the forty nine ers, so you're 516 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: just traveling. You know, in golf, they've always done the 517 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: swings right, the West Coast Swing, the Florida Swing, the 518 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: kind of the Texas area. They try to keep you 519 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: in the They play Harbor Town right after Augusta. They 520 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: try to keep you in the general area. I wonder 521 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: if he goes, hey, we're paying so much money and 522 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this tiered system. I don't give a 523 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: shit about regions, because he's already said we're gonna go 524 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: to bigger markets. So maybe one week we're at Torrey Pines, 525 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: the next week we're at Chicago. The next week we're 526 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: in New York City. The following week we're in Dallas, 527 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: then we're back at you know RIV. I would not 528 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: put that past him at all. He's like, all you 529 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: guys are flying private jets anyway, I see in your 530 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: towels net jets, Like none of you guys are seeing 531 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: Middlecoff in the back of the bird on his way 532 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: back from Indianapolis on three hours sleep, sitting next to 533 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: a guy that tried to fight the guy before him, 534 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: and stop for a split second, can I jump out 535 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: of this plane. That's not how you guys are living. 536 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: You guys are living like freaking royalty, like kings. So yeah, 537 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: if you've got to hop on the PJ and go 538 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: from you know, San Francisco, you play Olympic Club one week. 539 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: Next week we're in Chicago, buckle up because this is 540 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: where the money's gonna come from. So I would expect 541 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: role app to mix things up dramatically, and I would 542 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: recommend that because these guys have no margin to complain anymore. Now, 543 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: part of the difference is is when the team travels 544 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: in pro sports basketball, football, team pays for it. Obviously 545 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: it's a golfer. These guys flying pres it, they're technically 546 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: paying for it. Kind of, I mean, some of them 547 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: have deals, but still, I mean I the number one 548 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: thing I would do is I would rip up the 549 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: calendar and I would not be beholden too arias like 550 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: just because we're in California, we got to stay here 551 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: for three weeks. You can leave at the moment's notice. 552 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: And obviously California definitely move later. You know, there have 553 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: been talks about making Pebble a playoff event, maybe even 554 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: the final event. I think, make Pebble and riv and 555 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Tory when you can go prime time, make them events 556 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: where like, I wouldn't want it to be the final event. 557 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to only watch thirty people on the 558 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Tour Championship. I would rather watch even if it's this 559 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: new age cut down field. I'd rather watch a full field, 560 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: even if there is no cut so to me part 561 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: of the West Coast, you know, kind of what they 562 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: bring to the table, Tory and Pebble are the are 563 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: the ocean views and someone that spent a couple of 564 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: years in Philadelphia that puts smiles on people's faces, whether 565 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: it's the summer or the winter. When you just turn 566 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: on the TV at night in it's dark outside and 567 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: you see the ocean, the Pacific Ocean, even though it's sneaky, 568 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: freezing cold and they're great white sharks in there. It 569 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: does look cool on television and it never gets old. 570 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: It never gets old, So I'm excited to watch. I 571 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a huge rollout next week at 572 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: the tour with roll app saying some of this stuff 573 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: and the tier thing. I heard someone the guys that 574 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: know laying up said this. They're going to roll this out. 575 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna be how many people are at the Players 576 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty like some of those guys, and 577 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Amon Lynch wrote a piece that this new change is 578 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: gonna be great for the good players. If you're Colin Morrikowell, 579 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: if you're Scottie Scheffler, if you're Shane Lowry, if you're 580 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: Rory McElroy, if you're Jordan Spieth, you're on scholarship. If 581 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: you're those you know, the Joel Damon types, you're gonna 582 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: be on a second tier. So to me, what I 583 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: envision is the PGA Tour like the Champions League essentially, 584 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: then the the minor leagues of that group, and then 585 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: essentially the corn Ferry Tour. So basically you're getting relegated 586 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: to the second tour, trying to make your way to 587 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: the top, which is kind of how soccer works, right, 588 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, the forty nine ers own leads. They've gone 589 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: back and forth between the Champions League. You shouldn't just 590 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: be on scholarship on the PGA Tour because you know, 591 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: got a tour card for a couple of years, and 592 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: now these guys can finagle it so easily. I mean, 593 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: I have a buddy text me random events, good events 594 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: of like, who are some of these guys and they 595 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: get bitter, But the reality is they simply do not 596 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: matter to the money. I mean, let's be real, there's 597 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: a short list of guys that matter to the money generation. 598 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: None of these guys. I mean the amount of guys 599 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: that got pretty rich into the two thousands beside Tiger, 600 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: how many guys truly mattered phil Ernie VJ. I mean, 601 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't that long of a list. It wasn't that 602 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: long of a list. So that's where I think the 603 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: health of role app coming into this of not giving 604 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: many you know whats, and it can kind of come 605 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: in like, yea, I'm gonna piss some people off. Guess 606 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: who pissed a lot of people off constantly. Roger Goodell, 607 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: the league office, it's kind of used to it. It's 608 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: kind of the environment he's been int you know. Jay 609 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: Monahan tried to make everyone friends and part of it. 610 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: He just tried to keep the cash cow moving in 611 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: the same direction because everyone was getting rich. He was 612 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: flying on pj's. A CFO that Roll Aft just forced 613 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: to retire at fifty four, was flying on pj's. They 614 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: were all living like Kinks members in all these courses. 615 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: That is not how Goodell thought he was getting rich. 616 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: But how will we get richer? How do we do more? 617 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: How do we grow? That's not really what the PJ 618 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: tourner J Monahan thought. It was like, how do we 619 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: just maintain the sponsors, keep the money coming in? And 620 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: when you get someone from the NFL, and I've been 621 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: saying this for a while, it's just doggy dog cutthroat 622 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: from the league office to the coaches to the gms, 623 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: it's fucking crazy and golf doesn't really have a lot 624 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: of that. You know, who would have thrived in the 625 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: NFL Tiger Woods, I mean he would have thrived in 626 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: that environment, Phil would have thrived. Speef Scottie, a lot 627 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: of the mid tier guys like I'm in. I'm good. 628 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: No you're not. Because in the NFL as a player, 629 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: as a coach, like one year could be great, next 630 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: year you get fired. Sean Payton fired like four guys. 631 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: They were broken ankle away from being in the super Bowl. 632 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: It's like they hosted the AFC Championship game. He fired 633 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: countless guys in his offensive staff. It's not even that 634 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: abnormal people like ah, Sean Payton, be and John Payton. 635 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: That's not very normal in the PGA tour, you know, 636 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: I mean most people up until this new age of players, 637 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: Like most guys had the same caddy for a long time. 638 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: How long did Tiger f Stevie Williams or Phil have bones? 639 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: Felt like twenty plus years. If it wouldn't have been 640 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: for Tiger getting caught with his phone with Elin, you know, 641 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: Stevie probably would have been his caddy for the foreseeable future. 642 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: So I'm excited next week to kind of find out 643 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: as stuff leaks, like what are we talking about now? 644 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: Because I think part of now with roll apps, like 645 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: put your stamp on this motherfucker. Let's let's let's let's 646 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: take a fucking swing because basketball and baseball. This ain't 647 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan and Barry Bonds. It is wide open for 648 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: the taking, and you could argue everything beside football falls 649 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: under the category of like modern day niche. You know, 650 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: football is the one thing that breaks, you know, breaks through. 651 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: Not sure what else does. The volume
