8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: fun to combine multiple bets from the same game parlay.

00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: No big deal NBA Steph Curry, Clay Thompson. That would

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,760

00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: I feel hungover. What a week for the p G

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: A Tour. I just looked it up on Sunday. The

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: waste management got three point five million people to watch.

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Uh And to put that into context, obviously football and

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: college football are in its own stratosphere. I'd argue the

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: two biggest brands in the NBA, which I think most

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: people widely consider the second biggest team sport uh, and

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: biggest sport got three point six million people Lakers Warriors

23
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: Saturday Night. I know Mark Cuban loves to argue, He's like,

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: we're on cable now, this one was on ABC, SO

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: CBS Day Sunday, Verse Night Saturday, basically the same number.

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Golf is a coming, my people. Golf is a coming.

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts on the waste management, have some

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on the no laying up guys say that Bryson D.

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Shambo has told people he will never play on the

30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: PGA Tour again. He's going Sadi and then Riff. Uh

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: this weekend, very very excited. I've never played the course. Obviously,

32
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: it's one of the bigger tournaments of the year this year.

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, ten for ten, the top ten in the

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: world all there. The field is absolutely stacked. Uh, even

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: town of the former winners, guys like Adam Scott, Maxhoma

36
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: uh bubba. I mean, it's it's a really really good field,

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Sam Burns. Last year almost one. I had Tony Fen

38
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: now actually, who's just absolutely in shambles. Who just used

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: to have to get Tony fen now like to one

40
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Now he costs fifty to one as to gamble on.

41
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Kind of crazy and I do. I wouldn't bet on

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: him right now, he's he's not playing very well. And

43
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: then of course Jason Sobel of the Action Network played

68
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: big we can get it. Now the football is over.

69
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to start with the waste management and talking

70
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: about those ratings. I truly believe and I followed ratings

71
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: very very closely since working in radio. It's different what

72
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I knew do now. I mean, we value on how

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: many people listen. You know, whether fifty people listen, a

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people listen TV. They don't actually know how

75
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: many people are watching. They do this Nielsen. It's based

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: on how many meters. I mean, it's a it's an

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: educated guess. For the business I work in, we know

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: exactly how many people listen. You know, we do business

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: on YouTube. We know exactly how long you watch. For

80
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: the metrics in the in the internet world is very

81
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: very high level. But the television metrics, whether you believe

82
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: them or not, that does value your product, and football

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: has separated from the pack. The NFL has always been huge,

84
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: but right now it's in a completely different stratosphere than

85
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: every other property in American television. It ain't even close.

86
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: But I think in college football, actually, while it's behind,

87
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFL is way past basketball, Baseball, who's currently on strike, golf,

88
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: all these other sports. It's there's there's a wide gap,

89
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: but I think the competition for number two is wide

90
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: freaking open. And what I witnessed at the Waste Management

91
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: and we've been witnessing it now for years, it's like

92
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: an SEC football game. That reminded me. That scene of

93
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Harry Higgs and Joel Damon taking off their shirts and

94
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the beers flying, or when Sam Rider hit the hole

95
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: on one reminded me of when I was at cal

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Poly on a day party on Friday or Saturday, just

97
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: getting absolutely shiphoused. And that looks fun. Now I don't necessarily,

98
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be in the stands,

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: but it's fun to watch. It was something that was

100
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: kind of universally. Would any person would gravitate towards watching

101
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: that whether you like golf or whether you don't like golf.

102
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: So if golf can find a way to continue to

103
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: have a couple events, and I asked Sobel about this

104
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: a little bit later like that. Now, obviously the waste

105
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: management is, you know, some parties are just better than

106
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: other parties. So I'm not expecting other golf tournaments to

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: equal that. But if they can find their niche on

108
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: a hole, on a stretch of holes, on a party section,

109
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: it would go a long way to continue to quote

110
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: unquote grow the game of golf and make it cool. Now,

111
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: part of what makes the waste management fun is great

112
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: players play in the tournament, and great players consistently. I

113
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: mean the leaderboard, Zander Kepta Hedeki can't lay j T.

114
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Even Scottie Scheffler is a Ryder Cup guy who won

115
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: the tournament. So the top guys are gonna go there.

116
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: It's fun, It's it's just it's where you want to be.

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: It's a bright lights tournament. A lot of people are watching,

118
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: three point five million people on Sunday. So I I

119
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: do think golf and this is why I have she

120
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: love the sport. I think I told I was I

121
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: was kind of drunk, but I told Kevin Clark this

122
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: when we were at UH at Cowards Volume Party. I'm like,

123
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: I kind of like golf more than football. Now. Part

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: of it is, you know, I make more money talking

125
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: about football, but I I haven't played football since high school.

126
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: I played golf like a week ago. I think about

127
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: my golf swing. I get to play the sport. When

128
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I watched them play the waste management at TPC, I

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: played that course last year during the World Day. I

130
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: was at drinks with a buddy on Saturday. I'm like,

131
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: the who I played the course with him? Like you

132
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: see the lines. These guys are taken and there we

133
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: didn't even play the tips. And that's the unique part

134
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: about this sport. So the more people that can dip

135
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: their foot in playing the sport, which is clearly grown

136
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, the easier it is to

137
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: watch these courses. And they play a lot of courses

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: like Riviera. Most people will never step up foot on Riviera.

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: But if you go to Scottsdale over the summer, you

140
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: can play two un bocks and play TV see. You

141
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: come to the Bay Area, you can play Harding Park.

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: You go to these places in these different states. You

143
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: can play some of these courses that they play. It's

144
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: it's like, why I can't go to Lambeau and play

145
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: a flag football game. It's never gonna happen, you know.

146
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: But I can play. I can And if even if

147
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: I did, where am I gonna find twenty two people

148
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: to play? But I can easily take a buddy take hell.

149
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I can go by myself. I did it last year

150
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: when I was real estate hunting in Scottsdale. I played

151
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: a single. I played gray Hawk. Why did I play

152
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: gray Hawk? Because I was watching it on TV the

153
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: College Championships. I'm like, that course looks sweet, that course

154
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: looks fun. So I played it, and it's it's it's

155
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the unique part about this game is that you get

156
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: to play it until really you can't walk anymore. I mean,

157
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: how many people you know at the club that you

158
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: play at, or you know a public course you go to,

159
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: their sixty eight year old guys out there hacking away,

160
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: having fun, getting outside, getting some vitamin D. So if

161
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: the waste management, if other if other turn mints can

162
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: steal a little bit of that, because I think what

163
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: makes the Ryder Cups so special is it as vibes

164
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: of that and when you get that vibe, like one

165
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: thing we learned over the COVID shut down with no fans,

166
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: no fans and sports sucks. The bubble sucked, two thou twenty,

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: NFL sucked. Do you know what was sweet? Bama l

168
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: s U with a packed house, forty Niners, Lambeau eighty

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: thou people, so Fi stadium, Niners ramps, the waste management.

170
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: Fans make sports and they literally pay for everything. Right

171
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: without them watching and consuming, there is no They are

172
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: the business of everything. But that vibe is what truly

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: makes it special. So what's so cool about the Masters?

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Even though everyone is on their best behavior, it's just

175
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: packed lined up on both sides of the fairway and

176
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: these enormous galleries, those views I'll never forget on whole twelve.

177
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: You know when Tiger when those guys hit in the

178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: water and Tiger and everyone behind him like that is

179
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: the visual you remember? Or Tiger and Charlie after he

180
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: wins at nineteen walking down that stretch to the clubhouse,

181
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: holding each other's hands, fist bumping down, just thousands of

182
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: people lined up outside the ropes. So I this week

183
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: is a lot different than that, even though it's still

184
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: pretty cool that visual coming up eighteen at Rivieria where

185
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: everyone's on the hill. Uh, even hole one where you

186
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: hit down the hill. It's it's got some sweet visuals.

187
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: Look more of an old school course, more of course

188
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: that I I feel like I grew up playing like

189
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: the Sacramentary area with trees. Not like that nice, but

190
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I just mean like that style. Um So I'm looking

191
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: forward to I'm definitely looking forward to this week and

192
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: I'll talk about I guess we can just talk about

193
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: that right now. Um. I love Taylor Goots this week

194
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: the top ten. The crazy part about this golf tournament

195
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: is it was last year did a couple of days

196
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: after is Tiger Woods got in that car accident, you know,

197
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: and in Maxima an l a guy that you know,

198
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: cried winning one that almost blew the tournament. Last year

199
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: on whole eight team missed you know, like a three

200
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: or four foot putt to win it in regulation, but

201
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: then ended up kind of pulling it out of his

202
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: ass against Tony because he was behind a tree on

203
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: the first hole, that short little part four hole ten. Uh.

204
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: But you know, really everything that the clouded the whole

205
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: week was Tiger A couple of weeks later. I mean,

206
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: at one point in time that morning, we thought Tiger

207
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: Woods might be dead, and then the information came out

208
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: that it could he ever walk again. We've come a

209
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: long way. He was able obviously to play with Charlie

210
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: and that, you know, and the father son thing. But

211
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: all indications is I mean, this is Tiger's tournament. He's

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there present the trophy. So that's cool. I

213
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: mean this this, this is just a star studdard event. Now.

214
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I talked about this last week and I believe it's

215
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: still I can't bet on non Tiger Woods like John

216
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Ram and Patrick can't lay to me or to the

217
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: two of the best. I mean they are to me.

218
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean I just I would want those guys have

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: money on him. But at nine to one and twelve

220
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: to one, I just don't love him. Justin Thomas, depending

221
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: on where you're looking, fourteen to one, DJ just hard

222
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: to tell how much he cares. But he's one here

223
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: before uh More cowan Or it feels like I haven't

224
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: seen them in a while. Xander was just playing pretty

225
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: well at the Waste Management. He just couldn't make a

226
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: putt a deck he's been playing well. I don't think

227
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: you could ever go wrong right now. Betting on a

228
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: DECKI a decade is just on a heater, an absolute

229
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: heater actually kind of like a deckie. If you can

230
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: find him twenty five to one this week, Kepka to me,

231
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: I just do not understand it. He's clearly healthy. He

232
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: actually didn't play that well Sunday uh at waste management.

233
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: But how many guys on the PGA tour would you

234
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: want money on? Would you want to be betting on

235
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch of a big tournament? You talk about

236
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: a bright light sky. I talked about this on you know,

237
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: on the football podcast after um this, you know, during

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl halftime, like Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg

239
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: have been so famous for almost thirty I mean Dr

240
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Dre's thirty five years n w A. Snoop came on

241
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: the scene. Like those guys are bright light guys. They

242
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: felt like NFL players when they were holding that. I

243
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: could just use them the entire halftime, just those two.

244
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: And I feel the same way about Keepka. Major's any

245
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: big tournament if he's coming in in good form, which

246
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: I think he is, right now, I I just I

247
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: just believe in Keepka. I think his personality is perfect

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: in terms of he doesn't get too high, he doesn't

249
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: get too down. His just his talent is so elite. Uh,

250
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: he's as deep as anyone not named Bryson. His iron

251
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: game is as good as anybody. And there's a short

252
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: list of players that I feel as confident that's gonna

253
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: make a big put as Brooke Brooks Keepka. So I

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: think I just talk to myself in I like j

255
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: T and I like Keepka as as the favorites this week.

256
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: The other story is the no laying up guys. Um

257
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: who you know? I don't If you don't know, they've

258
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: had a big podcast. You know, they kind of were

259
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: the first golf podcast I've ever listened to, uh and

260
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: still really the only golf podcast that I listened to today.

261
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: And uh, they do a great job. They have interviews.

262
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they've just they've been trailblazers in the space.

263
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: And I know Tron a little bit just through Twitter

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: DM back and forth with them. I'm I'm big fans.

265
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: They said something that really caught my attention. Now we've

266
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: been talking now for weeks about this Saudi League. It's coming.

267
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: The Saudis have an unlimited amount of money, and Phil

268
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: and Bryson and the DJs, like these guys, you know,

269
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: might get bought for a hundred and fifty million dollars,

270
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, So it's easy. I said it last week.

271
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: It's easy for everyone to get in. The Moral high

272
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Horse is another thing. Now, Phil, I thought he's made

273
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: like seven eight hundred million dollars. You know, even DJs

274
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: made a couple hundred million. Bryson has made a lot.

275
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: But someone puts a hundred fifty million, million, two hundred million.

276
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: The numbers are all over the place. Who knows what's

277
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: real and what's not. I saw Morikawa say today in

278
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: his press conference, like I don't even know what to believe.

279
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: He gotta ship on it. Like we just keep hearing things,

280
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: yet I have never seen one name. Well, we kind

281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: of have seen some names. It starts with Phil Nicholson,

282
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: who I think we all believe is just gonna play

283
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: in the Saudi League. He's kind of done with the

284
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: PGA tour. He's piste off about the media rights. He's

285
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: got all these crazy theories about how he's getting screwed

286
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit that he is because Thagala.

287
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: What we just witnessed a waste management. If the Saudi's

288
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: dream could be to buy all the top players, Thagala

289
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: would not exist. That would not be possible. So part

290
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: of I'm watching the waste management and seeing this guy

291
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: who a couple of years ago was at Pepperdine basically

292
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: quit college because of COVID and just went pro, And

293
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: you're going, this wouldn't even what's one thing that's cool

294
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: about a golf tournament. He's going toe to toe with Brooks,

295
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: with Zander, with can't Ley, with Scheffler. Like that guy

296
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: would not even be an option in the Saudi League

297
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: because they would only have the top guys, the top

298
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: young guys in all the sweet old guys. A guy

299
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: like Thagala would never be in their league unless you know,

300
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: over time he worked his way up and someone got

301
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: relegated and he took their spot, but it would take

302
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: him years. The only reason he was in the waste

303
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: management because he got some sponsors exemption. There there'd be

304
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: no Saudi sponsor exemption. So one thing these guys said

305
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: on their Sunday podcast is that Rison told people at

306
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: the Saudi event two weeks ago that he's never coming

307
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: back to the PGA Tour, and I was like, damn,

308
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I was listening to that thing and like, holy shit,

309
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big thing to say. And Bryson has

310
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: come out adamantly denied it. His agent has come out

311
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: adamantly denied it. Say he has legitimately hurt, he's his

312
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: wrist is messed up, and they claim like the robber

313
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: is gonna meet the road here he was supposed to

314
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: play this week, claims he's injured, He's not in this week.

315
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: He's the defending champ in a couple of weeks at

316
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer's tournament. Is he gonna show up? The players

317
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: isn't that far away? And if you remember last year,

318
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: he was leading the players until he like Duff that

319
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: shot and then hit it into the water. So I mean,

320
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big money making time again, last I checked,

321
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: the players is one of the biggest purses of the year.

322
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: And even if the Saudi League is happening, it's not

323
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: happening before the players. So it's gonna be hard for

324
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Bryson to prove that his risk is legitimately hurt. But

325
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I think we can all acknowledge there's enough smoke here

326
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: that there's some fire going on that I don't know

327
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: what to believe. I don't know what's gonna happen, but

328
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: I do think that Phil Mickelson is done. If the

329
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Saudi League happens, he will go. They also mentioned that

330
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: DJ was another guy that's gonna go. Now. It does

331
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: feel in a weird way like Phil and Brason, or

332
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: tied at the hip like Fils beliefs on the money,

333
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: which I somewhat understand. They're splitting money with guys like

334
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Thagala who earns it. And that's the best part about

335
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: golf because in the waste management, he's having this great year,

336
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: but they have to split the earnings. When you're really

337
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: watching for kept the Zanders, the Fills, the j t S,

338
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: the Brisons like they generate all the TV revenue, which

339
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: equals all the purse money, but they have to split

340
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: it with these randoms. She saw Charlie Hoffman, if you

341
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: follow this stuff on Instagram, was piste off about this ruling,

342
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: which he's right on, and then created this whole controversy.

343
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: My only issue with Charlie Hoffman is, Charlie, you are

344
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the waste management representative. They're your big sponsor. This is

345
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: their fucking tournament. You have. I hate it when athletes

346
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: don't realize where their bread is buttered. And that that

347
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: was a pretty clueless thing to do at his own

348
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: sponsors tournament. If he did in another tournament, whatever, but

349
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: at the waste management It's why he came out strong

350
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: the next day in a in a garbage truck, you know,

351
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: trying to pooh pooh it. It's like, hey, he realized

352
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: what he was doing. Uh, but I don't know. I

353
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: do believe though, if Bryson, if it does come out

354
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: in a month, in two months, we just don't see

355
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: him again. Now they're gonna be majors before this sidey

356
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: league would start. That'd be one of the craziest things

357
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: in the history of golf. Did this guy in quote

358
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: unquote the peak of his powers, who has kind of

359
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: transcended his sport because of the long drives and now

360
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Biggie goot he became just kind of a sports figure

361
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: through the Internet and through his just kind of persona.

362
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: If he just disappears and go to the side league

363
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: like that there, listen, that would be a major loss

364
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: for the PGA. Tour. If Bryson d Chambo just stops

365
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: playing in their events, like it's lost this week, it

366
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: would be a huge loss at bay Hill, it would

367
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: be a loss at the Players, it would be a

368
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: loss in these majors. Like it's a big deal when

369
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: Bryson is on television. Remember a couple of years ago

370
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: when he gained all the the Artage, It's like, what's

371
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: he gonna do with Augusta. I'd argue he was the

372
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: biggest story that first year when he had gained all

373
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: the yard it's going into Augusta and then he was terrible.

374
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: But every single year if he's hitting it really far,

375
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: like he's a massive story going. He won the US

376
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Open two years ago. So it's just something to keep

377
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: an eye on. I'm fascinated by it. I I definitely

378
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: do not think it's not plausible. I do wonder if

379
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: there are people in Bryson's camp that are trying to

380
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: talk him out of this, Like I would imagine on

381
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: and off the course, Bryson's making thirty forty million dollars

382
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: a year. Now, there's a big difference between a hundred

383
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: and fifty a year and forty million dollars a year.

384
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: But there's also a level of you know what you're getting.

385
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to deal with some foreign government that

386
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: fucking could kill you. Uh, you don't have to travel

387
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: the world really if you don't want to. I do

388
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty big risk for a guy like

389
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: that who is in his money making prime. I mean

390
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: ten years ago, Phil, remember when Tiger was in his

391
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: peak making seventy million dollars a year and the number

392
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: two three athlete always was like an NBA player, and

393
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson making forty five That was a decade ago. Now,

394
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: factor inflation, money is even less valuable, so they're paying

395
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: you more. I mean, I think Bryson could wrap up

396
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: some serious cash. It's a pretty risky move. But if

397
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: he has it in his mind that, you know, I

398
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: can't monetize YouTube because the tour won't let me take

399
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: a camera around Like that's just that to me feels

400
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: a little shortsighted. Uh, it really does. Now, I'm I'm

401
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: also biased. I don't want to lose Bryson. I enjoy

402
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Bryson d Shambo on the PGA tour, and definitely I

403
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: think the PGA Tour enjoys him too, So maybe this

404
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: is all huge leverage play, but there are certain rules

405
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: with the way the tour is set up, you know

406
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: through you know it's called like a five O one,

407
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: seven C or I think I've probably screwed up those numbers.

408
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: But in terms of their charitable donations and their tax

409
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: breaks that I don't think they can dramatically change and

410
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: start paying players like ultimately, a guy like Bryson wants

411
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: to get So it's it's gonna be a fascinating staring contest.

412
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: And I do think Jamnahan and the people that run

413
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: the tour are just their hands are kind of tied here.

414
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: So I think Bryson right now, moving forward until he

415
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: comes back or if he does come back, has got

416
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest stories in golf. Okay,

417
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: the PG eight Tour is back in full swing and

418
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,240

419
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to dive back in this week

452
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: weekend started. I left on Saturday morning from Scottsdale, so

453
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: I was able to, uh, I avoid or you know,

454
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: tragically miss all the festivities that went on over the weekend.

455
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: But it was definitely fun to watch. I heard Colt

456
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: and Sleeve say that there is uh, you know, they

457
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: the attendants obviously they they're not like put it in

458
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: stone with the number is. But everyone's pretty confident in

459
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: the shattered records that this weekend is that as a

460
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: fair to say, it sure seemed like it. Uh. The

461
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: attendance numbers are not exactly uh Let's put it this way.

462
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: They're not exactly scanning tickets when you go through and

463
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: doing the attendance that way. They used to count cars

464
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: and say that there's an average of x amount per car,

465
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: so like two point four people per car and figure

466
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: it out that way. I think they've gotten more advanced

467
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: with that. I didn't see the final attendance numbers. I

468
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: can tell you this, John, though, if if they did

469
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: set an attendance mark this year, next year with the

470
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in town, they're just gonna bash it. They're

471
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: just gonna double it. I mean, it's gonna be ridiculous

472
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: Before we get into this week, you know, it's it's hard.

473
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm probably more of a prisoner of the moment this

474
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: this tournament feels. I mean, there's nothing quite like it.

475
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: And I know there's been a lot of talk, is

476
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: how can you make you can do this every week

477
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: but just have several of these a year? Is it impossible?

478
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you have You've been around this game for

479
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: so long and all these different tournaments all over the country.

480
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Is it truly just a one off kind of like

481
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup, where you can't you know, manipulate that

482
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: environment anywhere else. Is it just part of the deal

483
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: that Scottsdale brings the table that other places just won't,

484
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: or could the tour do a better job of having

485
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: a rowdy atmosphere some other tournaments. I'm surprised other tournaments

486
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: haven't tried to copycat what they do in Phoenix, at

487
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: least on one hole, at least have one party hole. Uh.

488
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: The Nelson has done it a little bit in the past.

489
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: Hartford's kind of tried it a little bit. Doesn't quite

490
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: translate to those places, but that's probably okay. I think

491
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: the players by and large are okay with it one whole,

492
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: one week out of the year. If you try to say, hey,

493
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: let's do this twenty times a year, I think it's

494
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a really bad look for everybody. And it's

495
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: just it's going to get a little bit out of hand.

496
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: But they know what to expect when they get the

497
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: TV's scotts Dale. They understand it. It's a party. We

498
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 1: saw beers being thrown from the stands. We saw uh

499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: players taking their shirts off. I mean, it has to

500
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: be in the right frame of what you're trying to do.

501
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: You take your shirts off on the third fairway at Colonial,

502
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't really make sense for a player you start

503
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: throwing beers onto the fourteenth green at Quail Hollow, It's like,

504
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: that's not really the way we do this. But for

505
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: that one week a year in Phoenix, yeah, it works

506
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: and it's fun and it's cool. And the one biggest

507
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: difference I think John in the what fifteen years and

508
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: I've been covering that event and I've probably been there

509
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: ten twelve times over that span, is that the PGA

510
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: Tour has embraced it more than in the past. I

511
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: think ten years ago, twelve years ago, fifteen years ago. Okay,

512
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: it was still a party back then, but it was

513
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour didn't want to glorify it. They didn't

514
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: want to show it off. They didn't want to get

515
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: everybody excited about just the party. It was more still

516
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: about the golf to them. If watched last uh, this

517
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: past weekend PGA Twour not only on TV but with

518
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: the right soldiers, but all over social media, they are

519
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: promoting the fact that this is indeed the biggest party

520
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: in golf in I know for a fact that there

521
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: are folks in ponto Vedra Beach offices on Monday morning, Uh,

522
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: smiling about all the social media impressions that they got

523
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: this past weekend with everything. So it's definitely changed in

524
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: that respect. Phil Phil would tell you in the Saudi League,

525
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: Joel Damon might be able to n f t that

526
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: that visual of him, you know, wrath in the college. Sure,

527
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: but let's let's stick to golf, and this is clearly

528
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: a little more of a throwback PGA golf tournament. You know,

529
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. The story of this tournament last year,

530
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: despite Maxima having incredible win, was really the Tiger incident

531
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: a couple of days later, right, I mean, that's the

532
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: kind of the memorable moment. I saw a headline to

533
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: day that Tiger is gonna be there, So that's pretty cool. Uh.

534
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: You know, let's just start with some guys that that

535
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: you like, that you're excited about, and then I'll get

536
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: in because last year I had a Tony Fenel take

537
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: it and it was pretty devastating, you know, an extras one.

538
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: Max was behind the tree, but I was kind of

539
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: lucky to be there. Max missed that you know what

540
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: two three ft on on eighteen, so uh, but you

541
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: just started sniffing the money and then uh he made

542
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: that incredible pitch shot and the rest is history. Who

543
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: do you like coming in this weekend? At RIV So

544
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: it's more about who I don't like, and it's almost nobody.

545
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: I do a preview every week for the Action Network

546
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: where I have different categories my favorite, outright favorite, top five,

547
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: top ten, favorite dfs, play all these different categories. At

548
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: the end, I give my big fade. It's the one

549
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: guy with a short number who I don't like that week.

550
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to win. I don't think

551
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: he can win. And this week I really struggled with it.

552
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I got down to about forty to one before I

553
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: found someone that said, okay, I really you know, I'll

554
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: fade him. I don't really like him because of the

555
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: top ten in the world, who were all there? Of

556
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: the guys just below the top ten, the Brooks kept

557
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: because in the Jordan's Speeds, I look at every single

558
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: one of them and yeah, okay, there might be some

559
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: cons there, but there are a whole lot of pros

560
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: as well, And I think you can look at those

561
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: players and say, yeah, there's a lot of reason for

562
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: me to like them this week. And so you look

563
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: at the top of the list and you try to

564
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: separate them. Patrick Cantley is the guy at the top

565
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: that I like the best. If you want to sit

566
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: here and tell me, I like John Rom, I like

567
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas, I like Colin Morrikaw, I like Rory McElroy,

568
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson. All of those are really good choices. They're

569
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: really good players. They have short odds for a reason.

570
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley, to me, has been playing some of the

571
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: best golf of his life, and I still think he

572
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: hasn't quite played his best. I don't think he's reached

573
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: that peak. I feel like over the last few weeks.

574
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: UM last week is a great example where uh, the

575
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: putter was red hot for three days, the ball striking

576
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: wasn't quite there, and then the ball striking caught up

577
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday in the final round, and the putter got

578
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: a little bit cold. When everything is fire on all cylinders,

579
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley is going to win one of these. This

580
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: one makes the most sense in his hometown of Los

581
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Angeles on a ball strikers golf course. He does everything well.

582
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Should be rewarded this week. But again, there aren't a

583
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: whole lot of guys at the top of that list

584
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: where I look at. Really, there's almost nobody at the

585
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: top of the list of where I look at and

586
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: say no, absolutely not, don't take him. Yeah, I know

587
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: you like j T last week and you know, I

588
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: think it was a Friday, had a weird day, but

589
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: then over the weekend he was pretty dialed, and you know,

590
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: if he just had started a little faster, he might

591
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: have won the tournament. I kind of like him this

592
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: week fourteen to one, he finished second. Just looking back

593
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: at some of his previous history here in two thousand nineteen.

594
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Uh so, I mean he's played well at this golf

595
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: course before, and you know, Candily right, he's played Now

596
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a stard week in a row. J

597
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: T took that week off hanging out with his fiance

598
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: up and down the coast to California. So I don't

599
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: know how much you factor that in the rest. But

600
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: what about Brooks, I mean, he's coming off a pretty

601
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: good week his odds to me for a guy that

602
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: has accomplished like all these guys in the in the

603
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen to one, he's accomplished everything they have,

604
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: definitely in terms of majors, if not more than some

605
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: of these guys, yet he's almost double their hots the

606
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Yeah, let me start with JT

607
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: because I want to uh, I want to make a

608
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: point on j T, which is yeah, I was on

609
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: him last week. The putting has not been great. If

610
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: he can figure out the putter, he can start winning tournaments.

611
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that riv is the place to

612
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: figure out a putter putting on those poland of greens,

613
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: but honestly, it neutralizes everybody. The good putters are gonna

614
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: miss potts, the bad putters are gonna miss putts. So

615
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe this is a good week for JT to turn

616
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: it all around. I do think that at some point

617
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: he's just gonna go out and obliterated field. I mean,

618
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he wins by one. When he wins.

619
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: I think he wins by eight. The next time he

620
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: just figures it all out and play as well. So

621
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: it could certainly happen this week again. I mean, I'm

622
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: repeating myself here, but I like JT. Like all the

623
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: guys at the top, he's certainly capable of beating this field.

624
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: I believe it was three years ago, like you mentioned,

625
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: he finished runner up, but he lost a five shot

626
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: fifty four whole lead to JB. Homes shot in that

627
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: final round, and so um, maybe a little a few

628
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: demons still gnawing at him a little bit. Also lost

629
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: back in the two thousand eleven n ci A Team

630
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: Championship to a guy named Jordan's Speed who tends to

631
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: remind him of it every single time they get to

632
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: rivieris so vibe that's eating at him just a little

633
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: bit there as well as far as Kepta, Yeah, you're right,

634
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: it's a big number on Kepta this week. He's obviously

635
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: starting to play better golf. Going into last week, I

636
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: didn't like him just for the fact that it had

637
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: been months, I mean like a long time, dating back

638
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: to before uh last season had ended. The last time

639
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: we'd seen Brooks Kepta playing some solid golf. He had

640
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: missed a few cuts. He'd finished UH below the midway

641
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: point in a few shorter fields where everyone had made

642
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: the cut. So you look at kept going and saying, okay,

643
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: well he played well this past week. Now, I know

644
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: there's the narrative of if it's not a major championship,

645
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: Brooks doesn't show up. Brooks doesn't care that much. Speaking

646
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: with Brooks, a little bit last week in a press conference,

647
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: it seems like he's pretty dialed in. He was asked

648
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: about do you think do you think they're in nineteen

649
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: your rank in the world. Do you think they're nineteen

650
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: players in the world right now? We're better than you?

651
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: Of course not. That's embarrassing. So I can't believe, you know,

652
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: granted it's injuries and other things, but I can't believe

653
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm twentieth in the world. That needs to change soon.

654
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: And so he does seem motivated inspired right now to

655
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: go out and play some good golf. And in a

656
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: field where he's got those ten guys, the top ten

657
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: in the world all in front of him, who are

658
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: playing this week. I think it would be a good

659
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: place to look at Brooks trying to be a little

660
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: giant killer this week. I'd also say win or lose,

661
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: he keeps playing good golf, wouldn't you say? The players

662
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: and the masters, He's a guy to keep an eye

663
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: on if his odds remain and definitely in to one

664
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: and above, there's no doubt. I mean love him for

665
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: the big events moving forward. The only little issue with

666
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Brooks is that he tends to talk you into wanting

667
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: to play him like I said, you know he was

668
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, I said, he's embarrassed about being twenties in

669
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: the world and has to change. I'm gonna play good guy.

670
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: You'r you haven't seen the best of Brooks yet. You

671
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna turn it on. He says everything right,

672
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: So it's a better You have to look at it

673
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: and say, all right, does he really mean it? Is

674
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: he really about to turn things on? Does he just

675
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna turn it on and think he's gonna

676
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: play good golf? Or is it all just a little

677
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: bluster and bravado. So I think we have to sort

678
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: of separate that and interpret that. But I do think

679
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: it's going to be a good year for Brooks. Okay,

680
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: let's talk about long shots. You brought up a name

681
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: before we hopped on here in Francisco, Molinari, who was

682
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: a member there. I wrote down a couple in Alex Norn,

683
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: who was in the mix last week and who's played

684
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: good golf. I've been on him several times over the

685
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I like him a lot. And

686
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: Leashman is a name that I've kind of seen out there. Uh,

687
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: start with Molinari and then tell me with your thoughts

688
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: on Norn and Leashman. Yes, Mollinari is probably the biggest

689
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: public play this week. Everyone's gonna be on him, and

690
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: everyone loves the narrative of Hey, he's playing his own

691
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: course where he moved out to l A a a couple

692
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: of years ago and joined Rivieria, and so it's perfect

693
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: for him. That that doesn't always work that well. Uh.

694
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, I've spoken over the years to so many

695
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: players about playing your hometown event, playing in your backyard,

696
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: sleeping in your own bed. It sounds great until you're

697
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: going to leave the house in the morning and the

698
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: wife said, well, can you drop off the kids at school?

699
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: And no, by the way, take out the trash and

700
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: if you get empty the dishwasher and oh, here comes

701
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: the neighbors. They you know, you've never met him before.

702
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: They live across the street and down three houses, but

703
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: you know they're really big fans and they'd love to

704
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: have some tickets this week. And all of a sudden,

705
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: you're dealing with all these outside entities that you necessarily

706
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: don't deal with on the road. That said my podcast

707
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: partner at The Action Network, Ben Everel, who works for

708
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Told me he was out at rid

709
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks ago, and one of the

710
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: caddies said, I would put my mortgage on Francesco Mallin

711
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: already had finish in the top ten this coming week,

712
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: and he has ten to one for eight top ten finish,

713
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: so I I really like that he was eighth at

714
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: this event last year, has more experience on the course

715
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: than he did at that point, also playing some good

716
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: golf as far as the other guys, Nor and I

717
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: really like, Yeah, coming off a good week, it's it's

718
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: almost like I just don't want to catch him on

719
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: that kind of downslide a little bit. You're you're hoping

720
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: that it's a little two week peek for Alex Norman.

721
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to im I know, I get it, I

722
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: get it, and I try that all the time. You're

723
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: hoping he's still kind of trending upwards. But really good

724
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: ball striker who putted really well last week. So that's

725
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: a really good sign for Norn and Leishman is a

726
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: guy that a lot of people are on this week.

727
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see what the conditions are like. It's

728
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: been hot and dry in l A. Over the last

729
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: a few weeks, it's supposed to get I've seen varying reports.

730
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: Some have said rain for the first day or two,

731
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: and some have said, you know, the rain is passed

732
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: and it's not going to hit Los Angeles. Well if

733
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: it does. I don't like Leishman as much. Leishman I

734
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I always tend to uh to tend to play him,

735
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: tend to like him at events where it's fast and firm,

736
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: firstly and secondly where there's some wind blowing. I just

737
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: think he's a good low ball player, puts his mid

738
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: and long irons really well, good around the green, so

739
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: that all of that could correlate to this golf course.

740
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: Is I want to see the conditions a little bit

741
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: more before I jump in on Leashman. Okay, last name

742
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: I know this guy is a favorite of a lot

743
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: of people like you that are close to the toy.

744
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Is a really good player is Taylor Gooch who last

745
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: year finished twelfth, two years ago finished top ten. I mean,

746
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: if you want to get ball, don't know about his

747
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: win equity, but tend to one to top five and

748
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: about you know, almost five to one or yeah, ten

749
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: to one to top five and almost four and a

750
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: half to one to top ten. Uh, what do you

751
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: think about that play? Yeah, I really like Taylor Gooch

752
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: this week. The one thing we usually look out in

753
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: regard to Gooch is his ball striking. Is one of

754
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: the game's better iron players, I think, at least outside

755
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: of those top ten type players. And so, um, you've

756
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: got the ball striking, but he's also sixth on the

757
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: PGA Tour and strokes gained around the greens, and guys

758
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: are going to miss greens this year. This week it

759
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: just happens at Riviera. They're smaller greens, an old style.

760
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: Of course, you're just not gonna hit eighteen of eighteen

761
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: every day and just have to turn it into a

762
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: putting contest, and so you're gonna have to get up

763
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: and down. Taylor Gooch one of the better ones that

764
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: not only ball striking but getting up and down from

765
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: around the greens. That's a really nice combination for this week.

766
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: So I do agree with you. I like Gucci a

767
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: lot this week. And before I get you out of here,

768
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned this guy last week, but like

769
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: I said, I mean I bet on this guy last

770
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: year to win, and this guy's numbers were consistently twenty

771
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: two one, two to one. I think he's fifty what's

772
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: up with Tony Fenelle? I mean, this is what's going

773
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: on with the guy? I don't know. I was very

774
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: bullish on Feene coming into the year, and I thought

775
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: it would be a really good one for him. I

776
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: still think it can be a really good one for him.

777
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: And I do think that at some point we're gonna

778
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: want to jump on Tony Fenelle when he's fifty two

779
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: one and he's gonna win something else and we're gonna

780
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: be uh get a nice payoff on that on that

781
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: female ticket. I just I don't think it's coming this week.

782
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen really any signs in his game that

783
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: show he's about to play some really good golf. Remember Phoenix,

784
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the place where he's played well in the past as well.

785
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: I believe Uh lost in the playoff to Web Simpson

786
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: two years ago, and so you looked at it last

787
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: week and said he's played well here, it could be

788
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: a good week, and he wound up missing the cut.

789
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: So until we see a little bit more form from Tony,

790
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay away. But yeah, you're right, that fifty

791
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: two one number is a big number, and that sounds

792
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: pretty juicy. Okay, one more quick thing. I I talked

793
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast. Do you expect to see

794
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: Bryson d Shambo on the PGA Tour again? I don't know.

795
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes you say something on a podcast and all

796
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden everyone reports it as fact and uh,

797
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: and you're breaking a news story. So I'm gonna ride

798
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: the fence a little bit on this one. I do

799
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: think that whether there's smoke, there's fire, and we've seen

800
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,959
Speaker 1: and heard Bryson is speaking with the upcoming Saudi Golf

801
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: League about joining their thing. The one thing that surprised

802
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: me about for those who don't know, the news is

803
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: out that, uh, there's sort of a semi report I'll

804
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: call it that Bryson was not to play the PGA

805
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: Tour anymore and was gonna join the Saudi Golf League.

806
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: And then Bryson's agent came out, as reported by Ryan

807
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: Lavner of Golf Channel, saying now we're hoping to play

808
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: bay Hill in a couple of weeks. He's just not

809
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: healthy right now, but when the wrist heals up, hoping

810
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: to be out to defend that title at the Arnold

811
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Palmer Invitational, and so whatever the case might be in

812
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: the short term, the long term is, Yes, this Saudi

813
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: Golf League is happening. I was told by a player

814
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: recently that it's happening over the next few months and

815
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna play events, many of which will be based

816
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: in the United States. And yes, some big name players

817
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: will be playing in this league. And I don't know

818
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: if it means they'll never again play on the PGA Tour.

819
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: They can play select events on the PGA Tour certainly

820
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't affect their status for major championships. But the dynamic

821
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: of golf is going to change a little bit if

822
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: some of these big name players aren't playing on weekly

823
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: uh in weekly events on the PGA Tour. And I

824
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: do believe that's gonna happen sooner rather than later. Maybe

825
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: the next four to five months, I would say, is

826
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: the time frame for all of us to develop. And UH,

827
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be surprised by it. We've been talking about

828
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: this for over a year now, talking about how they're

829
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: trying to infiltrate what has long been standing as uh,

830
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: the dynamic in golf as far as the the tours

831
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: and the circuits the top the world's tours right now,

832
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: and so it's going to happen. As far as which players,

833
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: I I'm guessing that based on what we know, based

834
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: on reports, we can at least take a very solid

835
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: guestimation one year old Lefty. There you go. Um, the guys,

836
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: I will tell you this much. Guys who have talked

837
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: about growing the game around the world, Guys who have

838
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: complained about not getting paid for their media rights, and

839
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: guys who have somehow taking drops they didn't like and

840
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: didn't like a ruling and didn't like a set up

841
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: and said, hey, maybe I'll go play somewhere else. I

842
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: would start your list with those players, and they might

843
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: be ones who will be playing in the SNUNTI Golf

844
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: League at some point. Well, Jason, I appreciate your time,

845
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: and uh, let's enjoy Rivieria this week and I'll talk

846
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: to you. I'll talk to you soon. Thanks, John, I

847
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And yeah, this it's so different. Mean, we

848
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: started out this conversation talking about the w M Phoenix

849
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: Open at TPC Scottsdale last week and what a party

850
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: it is. Talking about the Genesis Invitational this week at

851
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: Rivieria two completely different events, completely different golf courses. I

852
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: love both of them, maybe equally. And like I've been

853
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: saying all week, you can have two children who are

854
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: very different from each other. It doesn't say you don't say, well,

855
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: I like that one a lot, and I don't really

856
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: like that one as much. You say, uh, they're they're

857
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: completely opposites. They're totally different from each other, and I

858
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: love both of them. So it's uh, it's a good

859
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: thing about the PGA Tour that we are able to

860
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: get such a varied, uh very templative events from a

861
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: weekly basis. Well, Jason so will Monday through Wednesday, PGA

862
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: Tour Radio two to four Eastern and Links and Locks

863
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: on the Action Network Podcast network. Appreciate your time, and um,

864
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: let's enjoy some golf. Absolutely, thanks thanks Jason. Okay, let's

865
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: get to the let's get to the mail bag. You

866
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: go to the Instagram Go low pod. You know how

867
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Instagram has an at sign Go low pod, Go low pod,

868
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Fire up in those d m s and we'll go

869
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: from there. Justin huge fan alright, got a question about

870
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: doubling down and live betting a tournament. Each week, I

871
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: picked three or four players to win and continuously look

872
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: at their live odds throughout the weekend. Two weeks ago

873
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: at Pebble, I had can't least seven to one and

874
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: spee as the weekend turn, I live bet Jordan and

875
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: can't lay again on Saturday and Sunday, only for Tom

876
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: freaking Hogi to ruin my chances. Same scenario this past week.

877
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler was one of them. I bet him live

878
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: Sunday with terrible odds plus done eighty one. After the

879
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: second hall, I looked after a bogey seven eight to

880
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: fall to the board plus eight fifty, but was too

881
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: scared of getting was like I did at Pebble. What

882
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: should my strategy be when I have one of the

883
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: three or four guys in contention on Saturday Sunday, keep

884
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: the original best or reinvest worst odds or try to

885
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: hedge with another player. Golf is basically impossible to hedge

886
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: because at any moment, some random guy can take you out,

887
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: like Tom Hog right, so you you can't hedge. You

888
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: don't have an unless you bet on literally every guy

889
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: in the mix, which you're not gonna do, and you

890
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: would lose money with that strategy. I like your strategy.

891
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: I might try that this week. I might pick four

892
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: guys to win and then I bet some of them.

893
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Justin, Thomas Kepta, Taylor Gooch, and I'll

894
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: pick one other guy, Alex Norn, and I'm just gonna

895
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: live bet him that that's That's not a terrible idea.

896
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the idea is the top five your guy. Bet

897
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: your guy at the top five, so then if he's

898
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: in the mix. Maybe maybe that's the strategy. Pick the

899
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: guys you like and bet them to top five, and

900
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: then if you like them, if they're in the mix

901
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: Saturday Sunday, then bet them to win. I'm just I'm

902
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: just thinking out loud here, But that's maybe what I do.

903
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: That gives you a little more wiggle room, right because

904
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: if you had can't laid top five and then you

905
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: bet them to win, you know you still would have

906
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: made some money. Again, could be wrong on that one.

907
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm mom Xander in the waste management. What do you

908
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: think the score to win given the first three days

909
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: of play? Yeah, man, I had him too. I had

910
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: Xander before the week. I put a little money on

911
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: them live and same with Alex Norn. But man, it

912
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: just you know, betting in golf is hard. It is

913
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: an incredible rush when you win, but there are just

914
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: so many, you know, Scottie Scheffler, who it couldn't feel

915
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: like Scotty Scheffler is gonna win. At any moment, it

916
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: felt like it was gonna be Kepta Xander can't Lay

917
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: or Thigala and then when the dust settles, Scottie Scheffler

918
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: is in the playoff. But that that's what makes gambling

919
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: on golf fund. I mean, part of it is the returns,

920
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: the r o or unlike any other sport. Besides like

921
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: future bets. Right, if I want to bet, you know,

922
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: the fucking Packers to win the Super Bowl at one,

923
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: I know that that wouldn't be their number if Aaron

924
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: was there, to be smaller, if Aaron left, to be

925
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: like fifty to one. But you know what I'm saying,

926
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: I gotta wait five months. With golf, you're just waiting

927
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: a couple of days. But it's pretty easy to lose.

928
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: I'm planning to go to Riviera next week and I've

929
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: never been to a PGA event. Do you recommend that

930
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: I wander the course, follow a group of golfers, or

931
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: enjoy the event by sitting at a specific green. I've

932
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: done a little bit of everything having been to golf tournaments,

933
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: I would say the first golf if you've never been

934
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: to a golf tournament, I would just roam around the

935
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: first golf tournament I ever went to, or nine whatever,

936
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: the US Open at Olympic Club when Lee Jansen won

937
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: and first Payne Stewart, uh and I just walked everywhere.

938
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: If you've never been to the course, like I would

939
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: watch walk the course and then if you feel a

940
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: little tired, get a beer, a hot dog, get a burger,

941
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: and just pull up at one of the holes. Maybe

942
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: a Part three, maybe a cool part five, um, you know,

943
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: after you get a lay of the land. Now, if

944
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: you have money on someone, I've never gone to a

945
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: golf tournament and bet on someone, that would be pretty

946
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: cool to do. Like if I was gonna bet on

947
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Gooch, which and I was going to Riviera, I

948
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: would follow Taylor Gooch because like if you're betting on

949
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas or DJ or Rory, it's it's not Tiger,

950
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: but it is harder to follow the top guys just

951
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: because the crowds are massive. So that my strategy you know,

952
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: if I go to Pebble, I go right to like

953
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: whole six or all the alcoholis. If I go to Olympic,

954
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: I'd probably walk around. Uh. If I went to Riviera,

955
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: because I've never been to the course, I would walk around.

956
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: I might hang out a whole one, watch some guys

957
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: hit some t shots, and then just kind of work

958
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 1: my way throughout the course. How do you feel about

959
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Cantley's Master future to one right now? I mean,

960
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: you'd say him and John rom are the two best

961
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: players in the world right now. Can't Ley is a

962
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: fucking machine. The Masters this year is going to be

963
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: a fantastic Jordan's speed is eleven to one. Jesus can't lay. Yeah,

964
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: I got him about twenty to one. So yeah, I mean,

965
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: I I don't think it's crazy at all. I don't

966
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: really enjoy betting on Patrick can't Ley. Not that I

967
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: don't think he's a great guy, but holy sh it,

968
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: does he take a long time to put hurry up

969
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,439
Speaker 1: and hit the golf ball. Why are you standing over

970
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: the golf ball for so long? What are you doing?

971
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: Just hit the ball, like you look at the line.

972
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: You've seen both sides. He stands over the ball. Someone

973
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: tweeted this out over the weekend for twenty five seconds

974
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: standing over the golf ball to put. He is so slow.

975
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: I don't love betting on him. Love the pod have

976
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: two part questions. I'm from Sack area, and I was wondering,

977
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: what is your favorite course up this way to play? Uh? Well,

978
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: I grew up playing Elma Sero and Wild Horse and

979
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: Davis more than playing in Sack. Rancho Marietta. Um. I

980
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 1: honestly I haven't played Sack golf and so long since

981
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: like junior high and high school, I'd say Rancho Marietta.

982
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: I would say that's probably that's the last Sacramento course

983
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: I've played in like the last decade. I honestly don't

984
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: play that much Sack. I played way more golf in

985
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: the valley, in the Fresno area and then obviously here

986
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: in the Bay area than Sack. But Yochadishi, which is

987
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: actually kind of toward Napa, It to me is one

988
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: of the best public courses in northern California. It's on

989
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: the Indian Casino. It's fantastic. He used to be like

990
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: sixty seventy dollars to play. COVID inflation and I think

991
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: it's now like a hundred fifty, but it's it's it's

992
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. I recommend that to anybody who's up in

993
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: the northern California area. And rookie Austin Smotherman is from

994
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: sack I was wondering, after finishing top ten at Tory,

995
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: finishing t thirty three at Pebble, do you even think

996
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: he'd get his first win this year? I think it's very,

997
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: very difficult to win on tour. The fields have never

998
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: been deeper, the players have never been more talented. Like

999
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: think about the guys that have won recently. Scottie Scheffler

1000
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: was on the Ryder Cup and has been basically top

1001
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: ten in every single major. I think we had to

1002
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: beat can't Ley, Xander brooks Adki won a couple of

1003
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago. HOGI won at Pebble and he's been in

1004
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: the mix now for a couple of years. He's been

1005
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: playing at a really high level. And think who he

1006
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: had to beat, Jordan Cantley. So it's just this week.

1007
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: Look at the field, I mean, it's going to be

1008
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: very very difficult for random guys who haven't been on

1009
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: the tour that long. Rookie players, young guys to win

1010
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: huge tournaments. Now, could he win a John Deer Classic,

1011
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 1: Could he win a Barracuda? Could he win a Safe

1012
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: Way Open? For sure? I mean, anyone who's in that

1013
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: you know, has a chance to win. But I think

1014
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: any you know, Tory Pines, a pebble beach, a Riviera,

1015
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure is he in this tournament. Uh

1016
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: it's just very, very hard to just beat all these guys.

1017
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just just such loaded fields. Uh yeah,

1018
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: So again, subscribe to the gol Pot. Gol Pot, ask

1019
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,000
