1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? John Middlecop on

2
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: the three and out feed. But we're gonna do a

3
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: little something different moving forward every week, well depending every week,

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: but definitely the big weeks start of the p g

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: A Golf season officially, in my opinion, Century of Champions,

6
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: the Tournament of Champions Cappalua. It doesn't get any better

7
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: than Hawaii. I mean, I was there a couple of

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: years ago with my family. I was actually on the

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: other side of the island, played some like resort golf.

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: We didn't make it over there. There was a rainstorm

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: that hit the one day we were gonna go. But

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to beat nothing like eighteen on cappala I

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: saw the p g a uh Twitter account and Instagram account,

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: the you know the famous Ernie Els Tiger Woods um

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: extra holes they both eagled. Eighteen eighteen is the best.

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: You can see the water in the back, you know

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: you can get there into a bunch of eagles. It's

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: just it's an awesome finish to an awesome week. And

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: I love the sport of golf. Now, from one point

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: in time, we're gonna put it on another feed and

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: then we're just like let's just put it on this feed.

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna call it go low. I still am.

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: I had some dreams. I even drew up a logo.

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: Maybe one day put it in a hat. Maybe one

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: day put it on some collar church. Maybe one day

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: put it on a on a pullover. But if you've

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: got ideas for what a good golf brand is, holler

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: at me now. I might need because I do the

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: middlecoff mail bag for the football podcast. Can't do my

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Instagram d m s. It would just be too crazy

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: to siphon through them all. Uh, maybe you have to

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: set up an email account, Maybe you have to set

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: up another Instagram account. I'm still working through this. The

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: great part about being in the internet world, which I've

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: been deep involved in now for years, trial by error,

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: you figure it out as you go. Expenses are low,

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: you swing for the fences and you see what works,

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: and once you figure it out, you go with it.

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: But this is something golf the sport I'm very very

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: passionate about, and uh, I love the PGA Tour. I

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: watch an unhealthy amount of football and professional golf. It's

42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: just I've watched less and less baseball and basketball over

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the years, though I still love Steph Clay and Draymond. Uh,

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: but I watched I've never watched more golf In the

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I gamble on Golf fan duel

46
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: promo code Colin, We'll talk about gambling on golf. Some

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: of my best bets I've ever made have been in

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Eli Man against the Patriots, Von Miller

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: against Cam Newton, and the last several years, Dustin Johnson

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: and the Fall Masters. Uh I hit I hit Justin

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Thomas last year and the Players Championship twenty to one.

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: That was pretty incredible. But I think what we're gonna

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: do on this podcast just talk about whatever I'm fired

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: up about. Whatever. Some main stories are players thoughts, I have,

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: maybe the tournament, maybe some bets. I'm not exactly sure

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: the format of this thing. It's just gonna be some

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: PGA Tour golf talk. So if you like the sport,

58
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: if you're getting more interested in the sport. Obviously a

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: lot more people have been playing golf over the last

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: whatever almost two years now, since the world kind of changed. Uh.

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: It's you know, growing up, I played two sports in

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: high school, golf and football, and I was way better.

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I was terrible at football, but all my friends played football,

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and I fell in love with the sport. But I

65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: was got awful at it. I was decent at golf.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually probably better now than I ever have been.

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: But I I just have a deep, burning love for

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: the sport and the game, and I think about it

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: an unhealthy amount. Uh. It's just a huge part of

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: my life. It's a huge part of a lot of

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: people involved in my life's lives. UH. It's something I

72
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: I text with a lot of people about. It's something

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot about. Uh. And when I think

74
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: about my favorite athletes in my lifetime, there are two

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: guys that are head and shoulders above everyone else, Michael

76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Jordan and Tiger Woods. And I I'm glad that I

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: guess the shutdown. I mean, I've I've worked from home

78
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: for six years, but I spent a lot of time

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: over two thousand twenty uh watching when I I live

80
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: in California, so I'm not able to do that much

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: when everything shut down. I watched a lot of Tiger

82
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Woods tournaments on YouTube. And I don't think we can

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: quite I I think it can't be overstated. He's almost

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: still underrated. He is clearly the best player ever, just

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: pound for pound talent. I don't even think it's close,

86
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, and listen, I didn't obviously watch Jack and

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: his prime or Ben Hogan or Arnie, but I'm taking

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: all Tiger all day, every day in the peak of

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: his powers. Now. The one thing that's sad, I think

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: we have as talented a group of pros, especially the

91
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: top like thirty forty guys in the history of the game. Now,

92
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: a big reason those guys exist is because of Drick

93
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Tigger Woods without him kind of blazing the trail, bringing

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the money, making golf cool, bringing a lot of athletes.

95
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I remember when Gary Woodland won the the US Open

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: at Pebble Beach. I went uh to it four, I

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: think on Friday, And you know, I've been to several

98
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: PGA golf tournaments over my life, but that was one.

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: It was just I wasn't drinking. Maybe I had a

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: couple of pops, but I was there to really take

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: in the golf. And I remember whole eighteen, you know,

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic holes in golf, eighteen at

103
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: Pebble following Dustin Johnson walking right by him, he almost

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: hit it into the houses and I remember standing right

105
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: by him. And I've been lucky enough over the last

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: decade to be at a lot of NFL games to

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: be on the field before games watch basically, you know,

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: probably a majority of the league play live, see a

109
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: lot of the teams, you know, as they run out

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: to warm up. Stand there. Obviously, I've been to the

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: NFL combine for years and see the size of Dustin Johnson.

112
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: When I saw the size of Dustin Johnson. Obviously, last

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: night was Brothlisberger's last game at at Hinesfield. Now DJ's

114
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: built a little bit of different than Roethlisberger, but like Roethlisberger,

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: he looks like an NFL quarterback. He's six ft five.

116
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: The the athletes that exist now on the PGA tour

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: just did not exist in the nineties. I remember going

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: to the US Open an Olympic Club with my dad,

119
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: my buddy, Travis, and my dad's buddy, and you know,

120
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: we were probably thirteen fourteen at the time, so like

121
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: any young kid, we went off on our own and

122
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: my dad went off on our well. The first guy

123
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: that we wanted to follow was John Daily, So John

124
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Dailey's teeen off one at Olympic Club walks up with

125
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, grabs like the

126
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: two iron, hits the ground, you know, doesn't tee it up.

127
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I've been doing the same ever since. Puts the ball

128
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: on the piece of ground that he kind of made

129
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: his own tea with, puts down, the cigarette, hits in

130
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: about two fifty down the pipe. Big dog leg right

131
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: and picks up a cigarette and keeps walking like that.

132
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't have seeing guys smoke anymore. And that's why a

133
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, when the PNC happened, it was

134
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: hard to not get a little emotional. Obviously last year

135
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: it was really cool. But what happened to Tiger in

136
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: l A whatever, ten eleven months ago, I think we

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: all feared that he may never be able to play

138
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: golf again. And I don't think that was that unrealistic.

139
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: I remember talking to people that were like second third

140
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: hand of the first responders on the site, and word

141
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: coming back like whatever you're reading, it was way uglier

142
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: at the site with his leg, and he talked about it,

143
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, after they've finished on Sunday at the p

144
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: n C. He'd only played you know, four or five

145
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: rounds of golf before that now, I'd say Tiger's toughness

146
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: is pretty high and he was grimacing. So I know

147
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk about him coming back,

148
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: and he tried to pooh pooh that I agree with

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: him because one, he took a golf card in that tournament,

150
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: and the the resort style of course is pretty flat. Right,

151
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: you go to a PGA golf tournament, especially the big ones,

152
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: which is all he's ever cared about, it would be

153
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: very difficult for him to play those golf tournaments. Definitely

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: four days, there is no golf card, and as he said,

155
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: under basically his dead body, he will never take a

156
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: golf card. He will never apply for the medical like

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: you know his college teammate Casey Martin once did. But

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: two point three million people watched him and his twelve

159
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: year old son play in a golf tournament. That meant

160
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: nothing because as every human you know worth their salt

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: has ever said about Tiger, he doesn't move the needle.

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: He is the needle. And he created the greatness on

163
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour right now because I'd say the top

164
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: ten fifteen players, we've never had the depth of elite players.

165
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Guys that are gonna go go down as all time

166
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: grades and I I mean once two thousand nineteen happened

167
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: with the Masters, you know, I I'd say as a

168
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: sports fan, I was somewhat fulfilled with Tiger's career. That's

169
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my

170
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: entire life any sport. And I'm a sports junkie, but

171
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that that was that was a moment that I'll never forget.

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: The same thing with Phil at Kiawa this year, Like

173
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: that was really cool. It's pretty awesome that the two

174
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: best players up there air and to the greatest, I

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: mean Tigers, best player of all time, Phil's you know,

176
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: a top seven, eight ten player of all time, had

177
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: historic moments, one at forty four years old and the

178
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: other at fifty. And Phil kicked ass and took names

179
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: of that tournament. Who's he's playing this week in the

180
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: century in the Tournament of champions. Uh. But I wanted

181
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: to start with two guys. These two guys I'm looking

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: forward the most to watching this season and last year.

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, Rory had a pretty up and down season,

184
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: and mainly down, you know for his standards, and he

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: was he was relatively under he underperformed. He wasn't very good.

186
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: And then he had two moments that I thought kind

187
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: of defined his season and actually turned out to make

188
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: me much more optimistic to where we're at. Remember, there

189
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: was a moment when he went to the Olympics early

190
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: on he did not want to go to the Olympics.

191
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Now reading that, there are some you know, obviously where

192
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: he grew up, I can't relate to, you know, northern

193
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: in Ireland and some of the stuff that they've gone

194
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: through over the years. The patriotism that comes a on

195
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: with that is something you know, only he can truly articulate, right,

196
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: And I know, no, he was kind of torn. I

197
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: don't think he really wanted to go. I think he

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: even said as much. But then once he was there,

199
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: he walked back the comments and basically apologized and talked

200
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: about how powerful the Olympic experience was and how much

201
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: fun he had playing at the Olympics. And then he

202
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: went to the Ryder Cup where he obviously him and

203
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: rom are the headliners for the Euros and old Sergio

204
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: just because he's a euro you know, Ryder Cup legend,

205
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: and Rory was terrible, like was god awful. Rory had

206
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: to be elite because we knew rom would with Sergio

207
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: and maybe like Victor Hovland and a couple other guys

208
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: for the Euros to even have a chance. And he

209
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: was not good at all and they got boat raced.

210
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: And then that final day when Potty Harrington put him

211
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: out number one, even after he played terribly, he kicked

212
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: ass won his match, got on the camera and started bawling,

213
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: crying like that was a very very powerful moment. And

214
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks later he wins the c

215
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: J Cup and he talked about kind of I just

216
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: need to go back to have fun. I'm one of

217
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: the greatest talents of this of any of your human

218
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: being that's ever picked up a golf club, you could

219
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: argue just pure talent. We talked about this another sports

220
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: a lot. Rory's top ten, the swing, the ball striking,

221
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the just the natural ability needs to working into wedges

222
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. But it doesn't get much better than Rory.

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: But he clearly has not been himself for a little while.

224
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: And after he cried those tears and he went through

225
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot, right, he had a baby, which is something

226
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: we talked about a lot in golf perspective, But I

227
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: think about this with myself. You know, I'm always amazed

228
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: at people that are really mature in their teens, even

229
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: their twenties, Like I feel I the most maturing I've

230
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: ever done in my life by far, has been in

231
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: my thirties, and hopefully that continues into my forties and

232
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: into my fifties, keep growing. But in my twenties, I

233
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: I look back at myself and feel like I was

234
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of a different human being just for whatever reason,

235
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: different things, different things in my life, professional changes, whatever.

236
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I grew a lot in my thirties and Rory when

237
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: he came onto the scene, I wouldn't say it was

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: easy for him, because I would imagine he was working

239
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: his ass off behind the scenes. But he won four

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: majors relatively quickly. You know, it shouldn't have been that easy.

241
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: It's not easy for most guys. Think about like Xander

242
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Shoffley and John Robb and some of these guys wish

243
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: they could have rattled off that many majors years old.

244
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: And I actually think there's a chance he might come

245
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: into his own right now over the next couple of years.

246
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: He's very secure. He doesn't have to try to hit it.

247
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: Liked Shambo he's already deep enough. He doesn't need to

248
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: change his swing. It's already awesome. Just go out there.

249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: It's golf, it's hard. You're not gonna win all the time.

250
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: Just play free and easy, because when Rory plays freezing

251
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: free and easy, he tends to kick the ship out

252
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: of most people. And I think we saw it kind

253
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: of click after he cried at the Ryder Cup. A

254
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: couple weeks later at the c J Cup, he just

255
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: was loose and he won. So I think Rory McElroy

256
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: is going to have a massive season. I expect a

257
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: couple of wins. I expect him to be consistently much

258
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: more in the mix to win these big tournaments. And

259
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: obviously the elephant in the room for his career is

260
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: to try to win the Masters. And I don't necessarily

261
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick him to win the Masters, but

262
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm much more intrigued with him going into that tournament

263
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: then the other guy, Justin Thomas, who I don't think

264
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: that guys like Tom Brady and Tiger Woods become really

265
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: good friends with you randomly. You have to have similarities

266
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: to them. And when you hear other golfer, especially younger

267
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: golfers talk about j T. The guy is a killer.

268
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: The guy is wired like you want great players to

269
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: be wired. Every time he shows up, he thinks he's

270
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: going to win. Now, because the sport of golf, that

271
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often, right, But he always believes he

272
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: can win. He's wired like one of the greats in

273
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: the history of the sport. But when you look at

274
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: his resume, he's won one major champion. Now, he's won

275
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: a lot of golf tournaments. But he even I went

276
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: on record heard him on the No Laying Up podcast,

277
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: like last year to him was a failure. He was

278
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: not good in the majors either. He didn't finish top

279
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: twenty in the Masters, he was cut at Kiowa. In

280
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: the U s Open, he tied for nineteam, but he

281
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: was in the mix down the stretch and I remember

282
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: he kind of fell apart the last ten eleven holes.

283
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: And at the the Open Championship he was t forty.

284
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: He's too good of a golfer in the peak of

285
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: his powers to not be, you know, pulling like Xander

286
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Shaffley's like top five in these majors. You don't have

287
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: to win every major, but you should be in the

288
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: mix when you're as good as him. Well, he had

289
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: a major change this year. He got Bones, Phil's caddy

290
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: of five years. And one thing I think Phil battled

291
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: for a long time was these mental demons because Phil's

292
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: talent besides Tiger, like there was no one as talented

293
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: as Phil. But for whatever reason. Now I was young

294
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: when it was going on, but best player that never

295
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: win a major. Uh, always the guy that made these

296
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: royal assive mistakes at key times. But then he finally

297
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: got over the hill and never looked back and became

298
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: one of the most historic athletes of all time. Remember

299
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: there was always that graph that people would like tweet

300
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: out or be on Instagram of the highest paid athletes,

301
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: and for like a twelve year stretch, it was Tiger

302
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: every year and Phil was always like top five with

303
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: like Lebron or Kobe or Peyton. Manning was like Phil

304
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: was raking in the money. You know, Phil rode that

305
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: gravy trade right behind Tiger for all it was worth,

306
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: and he deserved. I mean, he's great champion right winning

307
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: that Major Kiowa was was awesome to watch. I think

308
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Bones is gonna help Justin Thomas out a lot. We

309
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: know he has the game. We've seen it. What he

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: did as someone that had money on him at the

311
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: two Players Championship. What was his final round? Didn't he

312
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: hit every single green except the eighteenth where he missed

313
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: it by like two ft. I mean, this guy's talent

314
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: when he's on you talk about a ball striker, you

315
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: talk about he's five nine, one sixty, yet he hits

316
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: it like three thirty yards his his wedges around the green.

317
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: He's remarkable. But you get a guy like Bones that

318
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: basically in a lot of these younger players talk about

319
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: their caddies like we it's a team effort. They almost

320
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: speak about it like you would in a team sport,

321
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: like a guy in the NBA. What about a teammate,

322
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: like a guy in the NFL would about a coach

323
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: like we're in this together. And I think that Bones

324
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: can help take his game mentally to another level, especially

325
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: at Augusta. You know, Bones have been a part of

326
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: winning the Masters and the guy who got the green

327
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: jackets several times. He knows the ins and outs of

328
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: that course very well. He's seen it all, literally every

329
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: crevice in the course because the Phil hits it all

330
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: over the place, so having a guy that can just

331
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: keep you stable a little bit, because I think sometimes

332
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: with j T, you know, I don't know the guy,

333
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: but just following his career really closely and being a

334
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: big fan, sometimes when he starts to crumble, he really

335
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: falls apart, and having Bones there, I just wonder it's

336
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: like having a good coach. You just have a guy

337
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: right there who's able to talk to you and almost

338
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: talking off a ledge when you know the train starts

339
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: coming off the tracks because he's too talented to get

340
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: derailed in some of these tournaments. And I would expect,

341
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: like Rory mcilwright a little bit different. Rory just Head

342
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: is clear justin now has a guy as his right

343
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: hand man to just help him stay locked and loaded.

344
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: And to me, when JT's career is over, he's a

345
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: four or five major guy. And I think when we

346
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: look back when he accomplishes that one day, because I

347
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: envisioned him doing that, and I think Bones is gonna

348
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: play a big role. Now we'll see Bones a little older.

349
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Is he gonna do this for five years, He's gonna

350
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: do it for ten? I don't know. But Bones always

351
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: said when he's on television, he said, I'm a caddy. First,

352
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing television, but I'm a caddy doing television, which

353
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: I respect. You know, some people like when I left

354
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: the NFL, I was never going back. You know, I

355
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: did it, it was cool, but I have other interests.

356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: I never viewed myself as this is what I have

357
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: to do. And I know a lot of people that

358
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: whatever their professional, especially a lot of coaches, like they're

359
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: a coach, that's what they're gonna want to do, and

360
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: they're always gonna be drawn back. Some people are always

361
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: drawn back to whatever the industry is. And usually those

362
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: people are pretty singular focused, and that's why they're really

363
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: good at their craft because they spend uh an ordinate

364
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: amount of time thinking about it. So I I can't

365
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: wait to watch these two guys attack the big tournaments

366
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: and attack the major's and attack Augusta. One guy that

367
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: you know I'm a big fan of. I mean, who

368
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: isn't just because he's a freak talent is Xander Shofley,

369
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: California guy. Um, you know, easily one of the most

370
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: talented players in the world. But when you look at

371
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: his resume, while he's had and you know the hard

372
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: part about golf, right, like if I like, I work

373
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid and he got a lot of credit

374
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: for going to NFC Championship games. I live in the

375
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Bay Area, when when Jim Harbaugh was going to three straight,

376
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: and like, you get credit for that. In golf, you

377
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: almost get crushed. Like Xander's finished top five in every

378
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: major except the p G A, It's like, oh, you

379
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: just can't get it done. We'll wait. Getting T two

380
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: and the Masters and T two in the US Open.

381
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't get any credit for that, being tied, you know,

382
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: being right there with a decade coming down stretch, I

383
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: get no credit for that. And sometimes you don't in

384
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: a weird way, especially from the people that that talk

385
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: about the sport. I don't think they do a good

386
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: enough job of Like finished tied for second at the

387
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: at Augusta, at the Olympic Club, at wherever, and Xander's

388
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: been right in the mix. I saw a stat today

389
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: on social media He's back to back runner up at

390
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: UH the Waste Management, which is a really cool of course,

391
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: played it last year during a Memorial Day and at

392
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: UH at Tory Pines. Back to back runner up in

393
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: PGA golf tournaments. Like you know how hard that is?

394
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: Let alone ones that the waste management is pretty good.

395
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Field Tory pines pretty good Field like that, that's that's

396
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: really impressive. But to me, he's like the poor man's

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: version of Justin Thomas. Right, He's had a lot of success,

398
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: but he's only won four tournaments and he has not

399
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: won a major yet. He's been right there in the mix,

400
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: like eventually this guy. We saw him going to the Olympics,

401
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: win the Olympics, we saw him at the you know,

402
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: when you see him at the Ryder Cup, it's like

403
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: he's just he belongs like he's one of the members

404
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of the crew. He's easily one of our best players.

405
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: But sometimes the timeline back to what I said about maturity,

406
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: we're all not everyone is running the same race. I

407
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: remember Harold hit listen to Harold Varnald Varner on a podcast,

408
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: and he said the best advice that Tiger gave him

409
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: was just run your own race. And I think about

410
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: that sometimes because I think it's so easy to, like,

411
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: whether it's in your own industry, whether it's just your

412
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: friends or family, or people you know, people you don't

413
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: even know, always comparing yourself, right, like, oh, this guy

414
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: has more money than me. This guy is going on

415
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: more vacations than me. This guy has more listeners than me,

416
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: this guy, whatever it is, it's like funk, who cares?

417
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Just focus on yourself. You know, Data is having an

418
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: incredible career. He's one of the best golfers on the

419
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: planet and has been for like four or five straight years.

420
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: You keep playing like that you're going to win a major.

421
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just interested, like, when is that gonna come? Right?

422
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: Some guys that happens fast calling Moorekala boom, it just happened.

423
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: But I watched Victor Hovlin I go, I think Victor

424
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: hovland Is might not be equally good. It's Colin mark out,

425
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: but there's not that big of a gap in Victor.

426
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: You know, no majors yet, and he who knows it

427
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: might he might not win a major till he's in

428
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: his thirties. I saw that he Instagram. He's been in

429
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Hawaii since last Wednesday and his clubs haven't arrived. Hard

430
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to be a professional golfer without your golf clubs. But

431
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, I think Xander and obviously as

432
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the year goes on, we'll dive in depending on you know,

433
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: the tournament and how guys are playing. I mean, Bryson's fascinating.

434
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: John rom to me is I mean not to me,

435
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: I mean he officially is the best player in the world.

436
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: Bryson has become one of the most polarizing just athletes,

437
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: partly because of Kepta, partly because of the distance. But

438
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean he truly is. Like I lived in Fresno

439
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. I've been hearing about Bryson

440
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: d Schambau for fifteen years. People in that area have

441
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: known about him since he was very, very young. I

442
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: have friends that are in their late twenties that played

443
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: against him at junior golf. Like he's a prodigy. Like

444
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: this guy was prodigy. This guy was destined to be

445
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: a PJ tour all for you know, however, what's the

446
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: twenty six years old, I mean a decade ago. This

447
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: guy was great well before he ever started eating protein

448
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: shakes and uh hitting yards. Now he's always done things different.

449
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: He's always you know the club thing. Uh, the way

450
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: he reads greens, like his ships different. But that that

451
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: makes him fascinating. I said it the other day when

452
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown ran up the field. Now he's a kook

453
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean just a complete whack job. But

454
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: sometimes having guys that are different and wacky and that

455
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 1: aren't like everyone else is good for your sport. You

456
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: can't have everyone be the same and for a long

457
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: period of time, like when I was born in so

458
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: before Tiger, when I was getting into golf in the nineties,

459
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: like it was somewhat boring. I mean, I'd say the

460
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: only guy that felt really different was like Greg Norman

461
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: because he had a nickname called the Shark, and he

462
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: had some like cool clothing and he wore the hat.

463
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: But for the most part, every other golfer kind of

464
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: looked either a little chubby, you know, long dockers in

465
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: an oversized collared shirt. Now everyone all shapes and sizes,

466
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: people from all over the world. You want people to

467
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: be different. Now, gambling is gonna be a huge reason

468
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: that the PGA Tour is going to continue to blow up.

469
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: And I love to gamble on golf. Now, I think

470
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: gambling on this golf tournament is a little difficult because

471
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: it's a smaller field. Because you have the only way

472
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: to get in the field. You had to win a

473
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: golf tournament last year, and obviously the guys at the

474
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: top you know guys that have won it before, last

475
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: five winners or Harris English, who writer cover last year,

476
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: had you know, has been playing really good golf for

477
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: fifteen months. Justin Thomas has won it twice in the

478
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: last five years, Xander and DJ, so you know the

479
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: cream usually rises in this tournament. Uh. I do think

480
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid's a guy who's finished runner up here several times.

481
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: I think he's wanted as well Tony feine Out. Like

482
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: any time you get Tony feine out, and I know

483
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't won many tournaments, but any time that I

484
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: can get feene now in that to thirty five to

485
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: one range, I think that's pretty good value. Because what's

486
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Tony wins a couple of golf tournaments, his number will

487
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: be eighteen one consistently. So getting Patrick read and Tony

488
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: fine one pretty good value. And then Brooks Keptica. It's

489
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: hard to know how often Brooks is gonna try. I

490
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: do think this is a tournament that one if you've

491
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: seen the deep guys have won this, Justin Thomas, Xander,

492
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: d J. Justin Thomas like he hits it far. He's

493
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: when it when all the top guys are on. Besides,

494
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: like peak, Tiger Peek Phil. I mean you could put

495
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: it on the shortlist Keptca when he's on, I would

496
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: put against anyone his mentality, how even keel he is,

497
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: how far he hits it, how good of a ball

498
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: striker he is, how good of a clutch puttery is

499
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: um you know, and let's face it, last year he

500
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: won the UH he won the waste Management, which was

501
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: a little you know, not normal for him. He's not

502
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: big on winning normal PGA golf tournaments, but he was

503
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: in the mix and multiple majors. If his knee is healthy,

504
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the best players in

505
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: the world. And anytime I can get a healthy brooks

506
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Kepka at basically thirty to one, I think that's pretty

507
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: good value. So I like read fee out kept one

508
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: and uh, let's dive into the PGA golf season. I'm

509
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: excited and uh and yeah, I gotta figure out a

510
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: way for you guys to communicate with me. It feels

511
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: like emails very two thousand nine, you know, set up

512
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: an eail account. Maybe I should set up another, uh,

513
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: maybe another Instagram account. Maybe that's not a terrible idea.

514
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta think this one out. It's gonna

515
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: be a little trial and error. I think this one through.

516
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out as we go. It's only January four.

517
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: We've got a long, long year and um and yeah audios,

518
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: the oh yeah,
