Speaker 1: low pod on a massive, massive day for the world

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of professional golf. Awesome thoughts on obviously Rooks Keepka and

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it's getting that much attention, but

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: he's a top twenty player. Abe answer uh leaving defecting

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: headed to Greg Norman, the South East and Live Golf,

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: which which is a really big deal, no way around it.

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Even though both guys have been rumored for a long

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: period of time. I've had Jay Monahan. They had a

20
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: basically a player's only meeting led by him at the

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Travelers Championship this week and some information came out and

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: it just made me shake my head. So we'll get

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: into that, and I've had a couple of days now

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: to let it marinate on Will's alators and I think

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I have a take on why he resonates so much

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: with so many of us when we watch him play golf.

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Of course, to get involved on this show at go

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Low Pod, at Goal Pods, the Instagram, fire up in

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,040

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the show. It's how we interact really easy to do.

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I try to step grate my personal Instagram for football

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: stuff and this stuff for the golf stuff. Well, the

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: football podcast out on Friday more than likely, and then

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: mail Bag as well on the weekend. But this is

35
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: uh this podcast we cover the PGA Tour and now

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: of course live golf. And I think the number one

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: characteristic you can have as a leader in business is

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: to be proactive and not reactive. And it's hard, right.

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Part of being a good leader is having experience and

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: understanding what is coming up. It's what makes a good CEO.

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: CEOs that think ahead, think of the way the world

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: is changing. Get involved in different businesses and you know,

43
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: involved in different streams of revenue that might not be

44
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: fruitful immediately, but ultimately that's where society is heading. People

45
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: that pivoted a streaming, people that pivoted a podcast, elon

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: pivoting to elect vehicles. I mean, we can a million

47
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: different examples of this video stuff. Remember when Facebook by

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Instagram that was a pretty good purchase. And part of

49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: being a good leader is seeing the future. It's not easy.

50
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: It's why most people can't lead. That's what makes a

51
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: good football coach. Understanding in anticipating what is gonna happen,

52
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: not reacting to just what is happening, but understanding what

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: might happen. And I think it's fair to say as

54
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: of June one, and listen, I don't know the guy personally,

55
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: never met him, just followed him from the outside. Looks

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: like he's got a pretty good gig. Makes five and

57
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: a half million dollars of according to the records that

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: were published on the internet. But I think it's fair

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: to say that if I was a player on the

60
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: PGA tour, and I was a loyal player, and I've

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: said it my whole time, I'm not a moral high

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: horse with this guy, with this whole situation. I don't

63
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: blame any single person for living, leaving the tour heading

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: to live. I'm a ty I haven't received a W

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: two in almost a decade now, since two thousand sixteen,

66
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: so maybe a little less than that seven years. I

67
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: don't ever plan on receiving a W two. Un Listen,

68
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: it's from my own company. I like operating the way

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: I do. I like hunting and gathering. I like the

70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: trenches of the business society. But I also with comes

71
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: with that is my freedom. These guys have the freedom

72
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to do whatever they want. And Jay Monahan knows this,

73
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: and he's had this. This has been in the air

74
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: brewing for years, and today I saw that his idea

75
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: to respond to Live was to create extra tournaments throughout

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the season to give guys a bunch of money. And

77
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: my first response is, lives greatest asset, and the greatest

78
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: asset we all have is time, an available time to ourselves,

79
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: and we never know when time is gonna end. The

80
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: time we get to spend with our family, the time

81
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: we get to spend with doing what we want to do,

82
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: because most of the time that we spend in life

83
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: is either sleeping or working. So the extra time you

84
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: have in life is very, very valuable, and the more

85
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: successfully you can be financially typically the more time you're allotted.

86
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: So these guys that signed on with Live, even if

87
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: it's eight times, they play eight times this year, and

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: next year it goes to fourteen. That is still less

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: than the required amount that you would have to have

90
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, which is fifteen. And obviously guys

91
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: end up playing more than those fifteen times, but the

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: difference is on the Live Tour. I don't have to

93
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: succeed to make money if I'm Bryson, if I'm Brooks,

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: if I'm d J, if I'm a B Answer. Now,

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: obviously Brooks, DJ and Kepka got a ton of money.

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: I have no clue how much a Banswer got. Let's

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: just say twenty five million dollars. That's twenty five more

98
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: million dollars in the PGA Tour would give him to play.

99
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: They don't want to have to play to earn their

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: money all the time. So of course Steph Curry gets

101
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: port paid forty plus million dollars. The Warriors pay him

102
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: to win, but if they don't win, he still gets paid.

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: So these tournaments and these ideas by j Monahan to

104
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: me go against the greatest advantage lived. I'm giving you money.

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm handing you cash because if I'm Rory McElroy, if

106
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm Scotty Scheffler, if I'm Justin Thomas, if I'm Jordan's Speed,

107
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: I earned the money for the tour all year long.

108
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: When you put me in premium groups, when you put

109
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: me in the marquee groups, when you market me all

110
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: week long for the tournaments, when your tournaments used to

111
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: market me leading up to the tournament, that's a really

112
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: big deal. I am your cash cow. Find a way pip.

113
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: The PIP gave out forty million dollars. I've been lucky

114
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: in my life to know some people entrepreneurs, family friends

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: that started businesses by my brother married into one. People

116
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: that started businesses from scratch, had a lot of success

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and over one of the greatest economic runs we'd ever seen,

118
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: from like two thousand twelve to two thousand eighteen. In

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that period of time, they were able to sell their

120
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: businesses to VC firms for a lot of money, let's

121
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: just say, hypothetically close to that forty million dollar range

122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: to meet. Forty million dollars is a lot, but to

123
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: act like forty million dollars and and put that carrot

124
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: out when you have to split it whatever ten ways

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: is a joke. That's embarrassing. That Live, that's a that's

126
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: a tournament for live. The pip nice idea ten years ago.

127
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: So the money the tour is even putting out available.

128
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: J Monahan should have one single job right now, and

129
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: that's raising money, and that should have started years ago.

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Timing is not on his side. I

131
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you've noticed, but we're starting to have

132
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: some economic chaos. A recession is right around the corner.

133
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: You know. It's hard to do during recessions get people

134
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: to give you money when your asset or your business

135
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: is uncertain, because you would say, right now, the PGA Tour,

136
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who was gonna play and who is

137
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: not gonna play on a given basis. So J Monahan

138
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: needs to raise a ton of money and maybe they

139
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: have extra money in their coffers, which would be pretty

140
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: embarrassing because that's what has been biting the moon about

141
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: for years. Where has the money gone? Jay? I think

142
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: what the PGA Tour really needs is that David Stern,

143
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: Is it Roger Goodell someone who is hated by the media.

144
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: You know why those guys are hated by the media.

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: They were revenue, cutthroat generators and the media resents business

146
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: they always have, so they hated the way those guys operated.

147
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: But you know who those guys were great for everyone

148
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: involved in their business, the players, the owners, everyone involved

149
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: in the NBA, everyone involved in the NFL. Over David

150
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: Stern and Roger Goodell's time has printed cash now people

151
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: have made money on Jay Monahan's watch, but now that

152
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: they have true competition with more money, it feels like

153
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Jayson over his head, and Jay feels like, right now,

154
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: it's all reactionary. It's all reacting to everything that Norman

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and the Satis are doing. And I would say, list

156
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: if Norman and the Satis had come out of nowhere

157
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: a month ago, I'd be like, I don't blame what

158
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: the hell was he supposed to do? We have been

159
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: talking about this, these different leagues and this different big

160
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: money back Sondi league four years, but specifically like twelve

161
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: months plus hardcore. He has known this is coming now.

162
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: I think he thought maybe he could avoid him. He

163
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: clearly didn't, and now he's lost three guys that have

164
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: combined for seven major championships, three stalwarts on the Ryder Cup. Listen,

165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about Kepko, Bryson and

166
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: DJ about where their games are at currently. Those are massive,

167
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: massive blows. There's no way around it. And I think

168
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: the scary part is and I saw no laying up

169
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: tweet this that Brooks was telling people like two weeks ago,

170
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. These people have so much money they

171
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: can keep buying guys and it's not gonna stop. So

172
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: when they go to Pumpkin Ridge in a week and

173
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: they see the money that gets distributed, more and more

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: guys are gonna jump. More and more guys are gonna

175
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: jump at the offer of a hundred of a hundred

176
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars. And I'm not saying Jay, even if

177
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: he was Roger Goodell or David Stern, has the capability

178
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: of generating that type money to give out to his guys.

179
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't. But he had the opportunity for years to

180
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: be in positions where the pip is not forty million

181
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: dollars again, forty million dollars to me, forty million dollars.

182
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine to a lot of people listening is

183
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: a shipload of money. But when you're handing out a

184
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: tenth of it two different guys who are already really rich,

185
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: it's nothing. It's peanuts, and relative to Live, it's laughable.

186
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: So I would say it's time to start questioning is

187
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,239
Speaker 1: j Monahan worthy of being the commissioner in these times

188
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: of turmoil? Of times when Greg Norman, the Saadis and

189
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: now Kepta and Brooks. These guys are waging war on

190
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: the PGA tour. And while I wouldn't say anyone's winning

191
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: or losing, the PJA stores still as stars, it is

192
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: not trending well for them and if they do not

193
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: figure it out. If I was some of these loyal,

194
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: staunch supporters of what the PGA tour represents, I would

195
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: start asking Jay, what are you gonna do? Ja? What

196
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: other pitches do you have? Jay? What have you been doing?

197
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: Getting mad? Jim Nance at the RBC accomplished nothing. It's

198
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: no different than the media bitching and moaning about these

199
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: guys leaving for Live. No one gives a ship what

200
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: you think. I'm sorry, Clearly the players don't because they

201
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: keep leaving. They're not listening to you, So I think

202
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: it's started time to start wondering, like, what are we

203
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: doing here? If we're the PGA Tour, we can only

204
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: have Rom Rory and JT beat the table so much.

205
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: They can't raise the money. It's not their job. Their

206
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: job is to play. Your job is to administrate. Administrators

207
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: administrate players play, and the top players generate all the

208
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: money for those administrators. So let's figure it out. Losing

209
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Brooks kept GOO today even though it's been rumored and

210
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: I sent it on social media. I don't know if

211
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: you guys are big Pack twelve football fans. But a

212
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: while back, Jeff Tedford's last couple of years at Cal,

213
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: he signed Keenan Allen, who is now a star wide

214
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: receiver for the Chargers. Keenan Allen was supposed to go

215
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: to Alabama and play for Nick Saban, but part of

216
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: it was it was a package deal. You also had

217
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: to sign his stepbrother Zack Maynard. Under no circumstances with

218
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: Nick Saban signed Zack Maynard. I don't blame him. Wasn't

219
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: worth it to him. Jeff Tedford didn't have that luxury.

220
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,479
Speaker 1: It was worth signing Keenan Allen to come to his team,

221
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: even if it ultimately cost him because Zack Maynard became

222
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: his quarterback and it was a disaster. But when Live

223
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: signed Chase Keepka, you could see the writing on the wall.

224
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: For any of you guys that follow college basketball, it

225
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: happens all the time, right I put a guy's college

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: co or a high school coach or brother on my

227
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff to get that recruit to come to my school. Now, Brooks, clearly,

228
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say was anti Live was

229
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: not gonna do it, and a little bit like DJ,

230
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: they just kept raising their rate and then throwing his

231
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: brother a bone. And who knows even if they gave

232
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Chase Kepka five million dollars, they've taken care of him.

233
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: And yesterday or at Monday, if you're listening, on Wednesday,

234
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: they tweeted about Chase Kepka just hitting some balls. I'm like,

235
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: they are are they are recruiting Kepco right now. And

236
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: then by about Monday afternoon, he had scrubbed his Twitter

237
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: account and it was clear it was going. But I

238
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: said this last week, I'll say it again this week,

239
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: and I'll say it moving forward. You can't have a

240
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: tour full of just unlimited good guys. You have to

241
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: have villains, and your villains have to be able to play,

242
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: like Grayson Murray and Kevin Nah cool story for golf nerds.

243
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: The casual fan couldn't point Grayson Murray out of a map,

244
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: out of the lineup. They have no clue who that is.

245
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: But Bryson and Brooks, regardless what you think about him,

246
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: and most people have like especially with Bryson, a reaction

247
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: when you say his name. Losing him is devastating. Losing

248
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: Brooks Kepca is not good. You can't keep losing these guys.

249
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: It's one thing to lose some of these old Euros,

250
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't blame Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Sergeroe Garcia.

251
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: They weren't born in America. If if the PGA Tour

252
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: had been based in China or Korea, or Russia or

253
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: the Middle East, that's where they would have played their

254
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: whole career. It just happened to be here. I don't know.

255
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: They didn't choose to. They were forced to live in America.

256
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: But losing American stars is a big deal, and it's

257
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen more and more even I say answer,

258
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's born in Mexico. Like, I don't

259
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: blame any of these guys. I that's why I give

260
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Rom credit, like he wasn't born here, but he loves

261
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: it and he's loyal to it. I understand j T

262
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan's and Scottie Scheffler having a lot of even

263
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Tiger having a lot of pride in the PGA tour.

264
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't blame the Euros for bouncing, especially because their

265
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: careers are basically over, but losing kept You can't keep

266
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: on the rate that they're losing guys, And sobol told

267
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: us last week, did everyone at the US Open basically

268
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: said when a guy says I'm not in, he might

269
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: be in. And when a guy says I'm out, keep

270
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: an eye on him. So you can't take any of

271
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: these guys at face value, and honestly, given the amount

272
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: of money, none of us. If you've never been offered

273
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty million dollars you it's so easy

274
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: for everyone on the outside to be like all blood money,

275
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: But what happens when someone offered you a hundred twenty

276
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: million dollars? I saw Charles Barkley said he'd kill a

277
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: relative for two million dollars? What what's my number? To live?

278
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: Could own me? It would probably be twenty million dollars.

279
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: I'd be gone. I don't know if I do it

280
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: for five Not that I wouldn't take five million dollars,

281
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: but would it be worth it? For everything? You could

282
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: argue even ten, I have to start really thinking, you know,

283
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: and again like I'm no moral high horse guy, but

284
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: they could easily buy me, just like most people listening.

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: They could buy you two, just like they're buying these guys.

286
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: And that's why all these guys that have been adamant.

287
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Things change, and things change fast, like Greg Norman and

288
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: the sadis Jamon Hand right now is lost at sea

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: and they're like jaws circling him right now. Now his

290
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: boat is still erect and doesn't have any leaks. But

291
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a scary situation. It's a very very scary situation.

292
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: If you're the PGA tour, they have to be incredibly rattled.

293
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: There's there's just no way around it. And again back

294
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: to what I said. Originally, I just put it on

295
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: the commissioner. That's his job to administrate it. Is justin

296
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Thomas's job to shoot good golf stores. It's Rory's job

297
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: to dial in his wedges. It is not their job

298
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: to figure out how to raise money. They're doing a

299
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: good enough job by winning tournaments and being in the

300
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: top ten of basically every tournament that matters. It's it's

301
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Jamnahan's job. And right now and again, I'm not holding

302
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: him to the standard of raising Saddi money, but he

303
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: better figure fucking something out and not forty million dollar pip.

304
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: Imagine like you have a forty million dollar pip in

305
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: the NFL or the NBA, you'd be laughed out of

306
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: the room. And last, but not least, it really hit

307
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: me why I think Willie's Allie Torus, Will's alatorus Willi's Alators,

308
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: everyone calls him Willia Z Williams Alators really resonates with

309
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: us all. I think one thing we could all relate to,

310
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: every single one of us, is failure. Whether you have

311
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: been fired, whether you have been dumped, whether your business

312
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: has gone bankrupt, whether you have failed to tell. Every

313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: single human and some more than most, have failed and

314
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: they have failed at things that they have tried very

315
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: very hard to succeed at when I've been fired in

316
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: the NFL and I was fired in radio, and I

317
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: took a lot of passion in both those things and

318
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: tried to be a successful, ambitious and do everything humanly

319
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: possible to have success in those industries. Now, the best

320
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to me is being fired and

321
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: failing in those two industries. It's led me to where

322
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm at and I wouldn't trade it for anything. And

323
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: I've been dumped. It hurts, we've we've I would imagine

324
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people listening if they had their heart broken.

325
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: It's a very uh, you know, it's something that happens

326
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: do most people at some time in your life, maybe

327
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: when you're fifteen, maybe when you're twenty five, maybe when

328
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: you're fifty, But most people can have that happen. And

329
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: I think anyone that has lost something or failed at

330
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: something that they wanted really badly can relate to that pain.

331
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: And I think when you watch wolves Alaturus constantly fail

332
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: and get so close in these enormous tournaments. He's now

333
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: a three time major runner up. He lost in the

334
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: last two tournaments in a playoff to Justin Thomas, and

335
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: on the last hole to Matt's Fitzpatrick. You literally can't

336
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: get any closer. The only way he could have got

337
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: closer on Sunday if that ball would have lipped out,

338
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: It literally smoked the edge. And I think we watched

339
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: this guy and go this guy's resiliency because I think

340
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: the thing we all respect is I wouldn't trade my

341
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: failures in life for anything. You hear all these cliches

342
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: when you're young, like you don't learn through success, You

343
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: learned through failure. It couldn't be any truer. But the

344
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: only time you learn is going through the tough times.

345
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: And when you go through the tough times, it makes

346
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: you realize either how bad you want something or how

347
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: bad you don't want something, And if you really want it,

348
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: you even work harder. And it's like part of the

349
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: reason Clay Thompson took so much joy and so much

350
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: pride in this champion ship because he tore his A

351
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: C L and he tore his achilles in back to

352
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: back years. Wills Ala Tours is so good at golf,

353
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: it's stupid. If you're listening to this, you're probably a

354
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: golf fan. We've all been watching major's and we've seen

355
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys sniff a major here and there,

356
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of guys have had their moments. This guy

357
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: literally does it every single tournament when it matters. Go

358
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: to his Wikipegia page, go to the area where it

359
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: says you know major championship results, and see how many

360
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: top fives and top tens he's had in a short career.

361
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: Four years ago, the guy was on the corn Ferry Tour.

362
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: It is a remarkable accomplishment how far he's come. But

363
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: I think a little like Phil Mickelson. Tiger was great.

364
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: He immediately kicked everyone's ass and became a legend instantly.

365
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson was kind of the opposite. Phil Mickelson was

366
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: his elite talent. Tiger laughed him, and then Phil couldn't

367
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: win a major for a long period of time. I'm

368
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure Phil didn't win his first major till thirty

369
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: three years old, and then he's since obviously rattled off six.

370
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: But part of the reason I think Phil we kind

371
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: of felt filling our bones is he had these devastating

372
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: losses and he lost it in all different forms and fashions,

373
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: and he started doing it early and then it kept happening. Basically,

374
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: all throughout his twenties, and in a weird way, when

375
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: you think the guy is a good person, you're just

376
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of drawn to him. You kind of gravitate to

377
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: that player because it's one thing to lose once, like

378
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: like you don't want the person to be the Buffalo

379
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Bills of golf. And right now that kind of feels

380
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: what salat Horus is. And here's the thing in golf,

381
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: in any sport in life, you're guaranteed nothing. There is

382
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: no guarantee that Wills Alaturus will ever win a major.

383
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Even though you watch him, and you've watched basically these

384
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: last two years of majors, it feels inevitable. It feels like,

385
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: how is this night guy not gonna win a major? Ironically,

386
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: he's never even won a PGA golf tournament. But I

387
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: saw today, I think he's six on in the season

388
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: on on earnings, like he's made a ton of money,

389
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: He's lived in an incredible life. He doesn't even want

390
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: a golf tournament yet as a professional. As a PGA

391
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Tour player, he's one of the corn ferry, but he

392
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: has not one of the PGA Tour and he obviously

393
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: has not one of major but I think I started thinking, like,

394
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: why do I like this guy so much? Part of

395
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: it is I've gambled on him, but part of it

396
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: is like you feel form like we all feel when

397
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: we fail. That sucks, and uh, I think that really

398
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: makes him resonate with all of us. Step up to

00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: sit around the sun all day and watch guys hit

440
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: balls and like at the end and I read a

441
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: couple hundred words on how they played and then go home,

442
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: have a nice dinner, and that was it. I mean that,

443
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: that's what I signed up for when I started doing

444
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: this twenty years ago. It wasn't signed up for free

445

00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: let's let's face it, it's kind of been the elphin

450
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: in the room for a while. Uh with Brooks, let's

451
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: talk about what happened and really transpired over the weekend.

452
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: The big boys were all right there. You and I

453
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: had been talking about Fitzpatrick for a long time just

454
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: given his success um and our boy Willie Z. I mean,

455
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: no one comes through. What was your takeaway just from

456
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Sunday at ed Brookline, Yeah, so a few things. First

457
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: of all, the real winner of the week was, uh,

458
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: someone who doesn't necessarily look his age, looks a lot younger.

459
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Someone who held off all the competitors and I really

460
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: looked fantastic throughout the entire week. I'm talking about the

461
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: country Club, not not Fitzpatrick, but the country Club is

462
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: the real winner. I thought it was awesome. The U

463
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: s g A. We have criticized them over and over

464
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: in the past when they've gotten set up wrong. Let's

465
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: at least give them credit when they get the set

466
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: up right. I thought it was fantastic. I was worried

467
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: going in that a hundred and twenty five yard golf

468
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: course playing seventy two hundred yards wouldn't be enough for

469
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 1: these guys, or they would have to trick it up

470
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: so much that it would be unfair and ridiculous. It

471
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: was neither of those things. I thought it was a

472
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: great venue and hopefully they get back there sooner rather

473
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: than later. As for Fitzpatrick, look, we try to prognosticate

474
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: here on the pod every single week, try to make

475
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: thicks and really get narratives, and sometimes those narratives don't

476
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: shake out. All of the narratives shook out from Matt Fitzpatrick.

477
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: He had one I don't know if you heard this

478
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: job he won s Aveateur right there in the country club.

479
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: He did take this wig by the way that you

480
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: got drink every time you hear that. But he also

481
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: there you go, I don't know what's in that cup.

482
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: He also playing some of the best cops on the

483
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. This year, he was number one in a

484
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: total strokes game before Rory had passed him just a

485
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: little bit the previous week. He also plays his best

486
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: golf on tough golf courses. He said in the past

487
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: he gets bored when it's twenty three twenty four under

488
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: winning a golf tournament. He likes when pars means something

489
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: we can go out and grind out around, don't make mistakes.

490
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he did in the final round. He's

491
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: got the trophy now, and he deserves every part of it,

492
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, I mean part of this game that we love.

493
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: There's an element of randomness and luck, probably more than

494
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: any of the major sports beside maybe baseball. Right with

495
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: a ball coming into play or not, that both their

496
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: tea shots on fifteen and felt like that's when the tournament.

497
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, one guy barely misses in Salatorus and he's

498
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: in the deep rough. The other guy kind of goes

499
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Phil Tiger, sprays it to where the patrons are sitting

500
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: and so or standing and gets a way better lie

501
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: even though he was farther back and had a pretty

502
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: easy shot. And to me, that's looking back where that

503
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: I know Salatorus had a chance to win it or

504
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean push it into extra holes on eighteen, But

505
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: that was what I mean. There was two shots wing

506
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: with with four holes to go, and that's that's pretty

507
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: big in major championships, right. Yeah, But you've got to

508
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of those breaks as well. So everyone's gonna

509
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: get good breaks, everyone's gonna get bad breaks. Over the

510
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: course of seventy two holes, you've got to take advantage

511
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: of Remember Fitzpatrick was in I'm still not quite sure

512
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: if it was the exact same bunker as John Rom

513
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: the previous day or just the bunker next to it,

514
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: But in any case, Matt Fitzpatrick and a bunker on eighteen.

515
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: John Rom from a similar spot made double bogey the

516
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: previous day. After getting into the lead, Matt Fitzpatrick gets

517
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: a nice cut right into the middle of the green,

518
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: two butts for far from there. So he did what

519
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: he needed to do, even sometimes when he got a

520
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: bad break like that, when he yeah, he drove it

521
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: into a bunker, but he's still made the best of it.

522
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: And that's you know, a lot of times US Open

523
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: is about making the fewest amount of mistakes rather than

524
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: the most amount of parties and other good things out

525
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: there on the golf course. Did you think Sala Torus

526
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: on a teen obviously hits a fantastic drive, you know,

527
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: sets himself up, gives himself a chance for really good

528
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: approach shot. You know it's a tough spot, right, you

529
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: gotta hit it further in the hole to spin it back.

530
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: You don't want to spin it back too far. But

531
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: it felt like not that he got conservative, but he

532
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: had been dialing his wedges really close that whole back nine.

533
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: And then on that shot again, I mean he had

534
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: a look, but it was probably further, probably by double

535
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: the amount that he would have liked. Right when he

536
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: was standing over that second shot, yeah, I mean that's

537
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: a tough one to kind of look in the moment

538
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: said boy, yes, if he had to hit, you've seen

539
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: that green because it goes it heads back towards the bunker, right,

540
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a tough approach shot, it really is.

541
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: And uh, that's what made the country Club so great

542
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't just bash it down there and

543
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: figure it out. There was one point I don't even

544
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: know who the analysts was talking about. I think it

545
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: was one of our guys on the radio team, but

546
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: it was John rom On seventeen maybe Saturday, if I'm

547
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: remembering correctly, and forgive me if I'm not, But he

548
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: banged one way down there, and then all of a sudden,

549
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: he had like sixty yards in the green. We're you know,

550
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: you're thinking it's only got sixty yards. It's gonna get

551
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: up and down. You know, that's really easy. Well, at

552
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: that point sixty yards. It was like hitting now hard pad.

553
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: That fairway is just so firm right there. It's really

554
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: hard to get your wedge underneath the ball and hit

555
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: a good shot there. And so that's what made the

556
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: course so interesting and so intriguing and so tough to

557
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: play for these guys. It wasn't just hey, hit it

558
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: far and the further you hit it, the better it is.

559
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: It's hey, we've got to hit it in these spots

560
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: and we've gotta miss it in the right spots, and

561
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: so you know, it's I again thought it was a

562
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: tremendous venue and uh I thought it really played out

563
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: on Wealth and tournament. But before we get into Keepko,

564
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: one of my opening takes on the podcast was, you know, listen,

565
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: we love winners, Tigers, the bradies, the curries. I mean,

566
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: they are what we you know, they become the most famous.

567
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: But there is something special about and I think Phil

568
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: fell into this category for a long time. Guys that

569
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: get so close and lose, I mean that they gain

570
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: a kind of a special rooting interest for us just

571
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: sitting on our couch. And I do think Willie's alatrus

572
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: is kind entered that category of he is an elite

573
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: player in these tournaments, and you just watch him and go,

574
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: he's got the chops, but he just falls up so short.

575
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, he blows it here, he

576
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: blows it here. I mean it's it can't get any closer.

577
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: Sobel the two things. First of all, I walked through

578
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: the final pairing on the golf course for a handful

579
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: holes on Sunday afternoon. That was a very pro will

580
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: ee Zy crowd in Boston. And he has no ties

581
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: to the Boston area whatsoever, So people just gravitating towards me.

582
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: It looks like Happy Gilmore's caddy, you know, smiles when

583
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: he plays. He's a classy young kid. So people do

584
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: like him, and I think he's he's getting a lot

585
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: of fans, just like you said, maybe getting more fans

586
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: for not winning than if he was winning. That said,

587
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: look it's inevitable. I mean we can sit here and say,

588
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: I think personally he's a generational ball striking talent. He's

589
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: gonna win multiple major championships. That said, start talking to

590
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: inevitabilities in major championship, Dolphin, there's really no such thing.

591
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: We thought Colin montgom where would win a major Lee Westwood,

592
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler at one point, you know, eight years ago,

593
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: came in top five, and all of them, Patrick Cantley,

594
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: Xander Shotley. These days, oh yeah, they'll win, they'll win,

595
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: they'll win. There's only four of them every year. There's

596
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: a lot of really good players. There are no inevitabilities.

597
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: And so while I think that, yes, he's gonna get

598
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: it done, and when he gets it done, he's gonna

599
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: look back and say, boy, I'm glad I had those

600
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: experiences of getting into the mix because that really helped

601
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: me rely on on those two to go out and

602
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: win a major championship. But you never know, a decade

603
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: from now, Will's Alatoris might look back on the early

604
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: part of his career and say, boy, I really wish

605
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: I'd got it done back then, because it gets a

606
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: whole lot harder if you keep coming close and you

607
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: don't get it and you kind of feel that pressure. Agreed, Okay,

608
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: let's get to the news of the day. You know,

609
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: when they when they officially signed DJ, it was a

610
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: really big deal, even though he had been rumored for

611
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: a while. When they when they got Bryce and it

612
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: was a really big deal. And then today if you

613
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: combine them, they got seven major championships. There three stalwarts

614
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. I mean there's three of the most

615
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: famous American players. I had dinner with the player last night,

616
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: and the player said, before we even like, you know,

617
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: shook hands, we were getting into a conversation of Hey,

618
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: here's what's going on with this What do you hear

619
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: hear about that? I'm hearing a lot of big names.

620
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: Some of them maybe it's happening some of them. Maybe

621
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: they're just negotiating and sealing it out. Some of them, Uh,

622
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's just you know, a smoke screen and they're

623
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: not going at all. So a lot still left to

624
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: be determined. I'm guessing by the time this podcast is posted,

625
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: we'll have more news. And that's sort of the problem

626
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: with this The news cycle never seems to stop. John,

627
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing keeps moving and moving and moving,

628
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: and we don't know where it's going to stop. But

629
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: there are a lot of questions. There was a player

630
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: meeting earlier on Tuesday morning with Commissioner J Monahan. I

631
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: had a couple of sources telling me that there are

632
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: questions about, Hey, are these guys canna be able to

633
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: get official World Golf Ranking points and his answer was,

634
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll find out. And there was a

635
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about the DP World Tour formerly

636
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: the European Tour, and uh, there's talk that Live is

637
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna try to buy the DP World Tour and what

638
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: would that mean? And Jayson, Wow, I can't really speculate,

639
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: and and so I understand his position there, but boy,

640
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: it just looks like the PGA Tour is just sitting

641
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: around on thumbs, waiting for things to happen and seeing

642
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: everything happen around it without really callings, calling into action anything.

643
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know what they can do at this point.

644
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: I really don't. You're much closer to it than I am.

645
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: But from the from where I'm sitting it, it feels

646
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: like j might be a little over his head on

647
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: this one. Uh. Is it fair to say that there

648
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: are some PGA Tour players. I know it's their organization,

649
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: but no different than the NFL. Roger works for the owners,

650
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: but there are dependent on the guy. Do you think

651
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: the confidence level in Jay's especially with the loyal guys,

652
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: right jt Rory, You see Colin pledging, Uh, Zander, it

653
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: feels like spent a little on the fence. Some of

654
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: these guys have confidence in them from what you're hearing

655
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: around these players and agents. It's the good question. I

656
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: think you'd have to ask each player individually. I'm sure

657
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: there are players who don't like the the leadership that

658
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: Jamonahan has shown over the last few weeks and months.

659
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're players, though, who think he's done a

660
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: great job. So it just kind of depends with whom

661
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: you speak. I do believe that it's a little strange

662
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: that the most vocal leaders in the game for the

663
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: PGA Tour over the last few weeks have been, as

664
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Rory McElroy and Justin Thomas and John rob

665
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: and not jame Oahan, the guy who's in charge of

666
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: all of it. And so mon An is gonna have

667
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: a press conference here tomorrow. We'll see what he has

668
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: to say, But I'm not sure what else he can

669
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: say right now that's gonna quill any of the rumors

670
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: and and stop any of the speculation. I mean, it's

671
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: it's essentially a title wave right now, and he's standing

672
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: there with this uh you know, the swimmy's on, just

673
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: trying to hopefully not get too wet. One rumor I

674
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: saw this morning, which I'm sure that came out of

675
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: that player meeting, is that they're gonna do the extra

676
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: tournaments for big money for the top players. Isn't that

677
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: kind why a lot of these guys are leaving to

678
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: play less for more. Isn't there a way to maybe

679
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: up the pip and hand out this money. Isn't that

680
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: a bad strategy? I don't know. They're just throwing stuff

681
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: against the wall at this point. I find it very

682
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: funny that a lot of these guys say they're leaving

683
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: for lives so they can play less golf. But eventually

684
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: the live schedule is going to involve fourteen events, and

685
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: so you can't skip those. I'm like PGA Tour where

686
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: you can pick and choose you essentially, if you've signed up,

687
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: you kind of have to play. I don't know, if

688
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: you get a doctor's note, if you're not feeling great,

689
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: you have to play fourteen events, and if they do,

690
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: indeed get world ranking points and you qualify for major championships.

691
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: Now you're looking at eighteen events. That's as much or

692
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: more than most of these guys want to play. So

693
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: the whole like, yeah, I want to play less some

694
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: going over the Live Tour for quality of life. That

695
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: doesn't really ring true. I don't believe that at all. Well,

696
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: what's the minimum for a PGA Tour player. It's not

697
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: like would you say, and so is it fair to

698
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: say the average guy, the top guys play somewhere between

699
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: sixteen to the low twenties. Yes, yeah, exactly. So really,

700
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: if they go you know, if live goes between fourteen

701
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: to eighteen over these next several years, which they're only

702
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna go more, it's not going to be that much different.

703
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: They just get more guaranteed money, right, the same thing.

704
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: But don't sit here and tell us, yeah, I want

705
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: to play less golf. I want to spend more time

706
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: with my family. Uh, you know, I want to kind

707
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: of have a better life for myself. And and then

708
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: go out to the Live Tour and yeah, I get,

709
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: it's only eight events this year and it's not much golf,

710
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: and you can kind of take part of the year off.

711
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: But starting next year they're looking at it I think

712
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: twelve events and by four fourteen events, and so you're

713
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: essentially playing the full schedule. And again, I don't know

714
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: exactly I've heard a rumor that if you don't play

715
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: at least one of the events that you might not

716
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: be eligible for that massive cash prize at the finale.

717
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: So it behooves these players to not skip any You know,

718
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: if you're banged up a little bit, you might as

719
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: well go play, because it doesn't really matter where you finished,

720
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: quite honestly, but it matters if you play because you

721
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: want to get that money at the end. It feels

722
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: like DJ is well liked and gets along with everyone.

723
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: But is it fair to say that. Obviously Bryson Patrick

724
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: reed and even maybe Kepka, It's not like they're gonna

725
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: be that many guys on tour that are gonna be

726
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: like like losing sleep over these guys leaving. I mean,

727
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm not a big wrestling guy, but this feels like, yeah,

728
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: the good guys against the bad guys. I almost feel

729
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: like it. I get it. PGA Tour is not doing

730
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: any business to live anytime soon, lives not doing any

731
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: business with PGA Tour. But in a perfect world, with

732
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: what we have right now, maybe it's are like, al right,

733
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: well let's get six events a year, or essentially we

734
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: play like a Ryder Cup where us against you good

735
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: versus bad, you know, and and go against each other,

736
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: and maybe that's the way you save golf. I don't

737
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: even know how you do this, and I don't know

738
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: who's gonna blink first. Essentially, it would be a big

739
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: game of chicken, and it would take them coming coming

740
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: together and eating some crow and and trying to figure

741
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: this out. But for the good of the game and

742
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: for the good of the consumer, that might be the

743
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: best thing moving forward. I don't know. I don't have answers.

744
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: You and I record this on Tuesday morning. Do you

745
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: know if Keptco was in that meeting this morning, I

746
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: would imagine not. Yeah, I mean I saw you tweeting.

747
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to play this weekend? No? Not really?

748
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: But he also I don't know. I haven't checked my

749
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: phone in five minutes. Maybe he's not in the field.

750
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Like literally, I can't look away from my phone because

751
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: something else will happen at some point. As of when

752
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: we're speaking right now, uh, midday Tuesday, I believe he

753
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: is still in the field. They can't kick him out

754
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: of the field because he asked me yet played for Live.

755
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: Even if he signs a contract, would live Remember PGA

756
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: Tour only suspended players after they hit their first tea

757
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: shot at the first live event a couple of weeks ago,

758
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: and so, in theory, Brooks could stign with live play

759
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: a PGA Tour event this week. I don't know what

760
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: the motivation, we go out here and get my message

761
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 1: out or something, but he, in theory, could go play

762
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: the Travelers Championship this week and then go play the

763
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: live event next. Do you think Jay had something to

764
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: do with this field because it does feel just on

765
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: paper like it's better than usual? Is it just because

766
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: the logistics to where the US Open was? I think

767
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Jay had something to do with the RBC Canadian Open

768
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: field a few weeks ago. I think they talked to

769
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: a few of those big names and said, look, we

770
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: can't have what looks essentially like a worse field than

771
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: the uh the live of of vent in London. So

772
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Rory's the defending champ there. They

773
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: got j T and Scheffler and Burns to go play there,

774
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: and I think got helped this one this week. I'll

775
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: tell you what, Andy Sett Nathan group, the guys that

776
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: run Travelers do an awesome job. Every year. These guys

777
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: have been coming for a while now, and so this

778
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: isn't really anything new, especially when the US Open is,

779
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, just an hour and a half down the road,

780
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: and it's not a bad trip for these guys. So

781
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: this is kind of what they do every year. Uh.

782
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's turned into a really good event on

783
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: PJ Tour. Well, I saw the guy that you picked

784
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: to win. It had me smiling and I already placed

785
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: a very very large wager on him the top ten. Uh.

786
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: The the only thing I'm a little nervous about the guy.

787
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: He's elite. I mean, at one point in time, I'm

788
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: looking up Saturday kicking myself that I didn't put a

789
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: top ten on Davis Riley in the US Open. The

790
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: only thing that makes me a little nervous is he's

791
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: played a lot of golf and it's just like obviously

792
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: his talent he's bound to win. Doesn't make you nervous

793
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: as a younger player just eventually just hit one of

794
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: those tournaments that the running of gas. Again, I'm wagering

795
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: on the guy this weekend. That's the only thing that

796
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: gives me pause because this guy can play. Yeah, now

797
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: that's the least of my worries. I would worry more

798
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: about he hasn't really seen this golf course, and he's

799
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that it takes experience to go out

800
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: and and seriously contend here. But now I'm I'm not

801
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: really worried about a whole lot. Thirteen under won this

802
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: golf tournament last year, Harris English beat Kramer Hiccock and

803
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: that hundred and thirty seven whole playoff, and uh, you know,

804
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: as they kept going round and round this place. But

805
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: I'd like to see something based on what we've seen

806
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: from Davis Riley. I know he played pretty well last week,

807
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: but he tends to, at least small sample size at

808
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: this point in his career, tends to play his best

809
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: golf when the score is uh, scores are lower. So

810
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: I would like to see something in the seventeen eighteen,

811
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty range under par. I think that that fits

812
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: his game better right now, where Hey, lots of birdies

813
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: to be had out here, go out and get him

814
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to it playing tougher. So you're right. I

815
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: love Riley. I love the number on him this week

816
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: about fifties and one in most books. I think it's

817
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: a really smart play. Same trajectory we talk about Salataurs,

818
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: same exact trajectory as his buddies Altars their roommates during

819
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: the pandemic when they weren't playing golf. They're playing in

820
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: their living room instead. Uh. The only problem. The only

821
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: difference now is he's probably about six months to twelve

822
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 1: months behind him on the timeline, which really isn't that much.

823
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: How about a lot of the top dogs. Obviously Scotty

824
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: just played excellent Rory, I mean another top ten in

825
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: a major. They're all here, I mean, JT S here,

826
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: Sam Burns, Xander just speak. I mean, this is a

827
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty high end, you know, at the top of this field.

828
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: You do you like any of that group too? If

829
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna place one of the elite guys. None of

830
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: them would surprise me. They're all good enough to go

831
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: out and win. None of them are trending in the

832
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: wrong direction or anything like that, So I could certainly

833
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: see any one of them the one. If I'm making

834
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: one bet on a guy with a shorter number next

835
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: to his name, it's probably Patrick Cantley. And I think

836
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: we've sort of overlooked how well Can'tley has played, because

837
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: his majors haven't been great. Although shot one under over

838
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: the thirty six holes on the weekend of the country

839
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: club finished to share fourteenth place. His non major finishes

840
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: have been second and third individual events. He won the

841
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: Zoro Classic with Xanders Shoffley next to him, and so

842
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: he's played really well and non major championships recently. And

843
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: so I've always thought this is a place where Patrick

844
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: Cantley was going to win shot sixty here in the

845
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: second round I believe ten eleven years ago. So he's

846
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: a guy that I've always kind of had circled for

847
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: this one, and I think he could have a big week.

848
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Two names, one in the forty to fifty to one

849
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: range would be Brian Harmon. Guy has had success, he

850
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: had some moments last week and then just this guy's

851
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: numbers just so big, just to sprinkle is the Gala,

852
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean anytime that he's playing in these that is

853
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: this a good spot for him? You know better? I

854
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: just I just put a little I mean, his numbers

855
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: huge good course for Harmon. Just the upside hasn't quite

856
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: been there. The ceiling is not quite there. His results

857
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: aren't measuring up to his performance. You would think that

858
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: at some point he would I always like it and

859
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: I think I've used this analogy on the podcast before.

860
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: He's he's like a pitcher in baseball has got a

861
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: two seventy five r A. But he's three and nine,

862
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: and so you're like, at some point the winds are

863
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna come because he's pitching well enough to get those wins.

864
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: But I liked Harmon for a top ten this week,

865
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: Top twenty if you want to be a little more conservative,

866
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: the Gala. I don't know that it's a great course

867
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: for him. I like him more. I think on course

868
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: at this point in his career where he can go

869
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: out and bombit into some wide fairways. One guy with

870
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,959
Speaker 1: a big number next to his name that does suit

871
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: this golf course. I was shocked when I saw the

872
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: number next to Webb Simpson's dame. Well, they haven't at Fandal.

873
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: I saw some books with eighty two one. Yes, seventy

874
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: two one. Yeah, yeah, I would take at least a

875
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: little of that. I know he's not playing his best

876
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: golf right now, but the guy knows not to win. Equity. Yeah,

877
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: there this value get you out here on this. I

878
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: mean I I already had a JT bet for St

879
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: Andrew's watching the weekend and just watching her DECKI, I mean,

880
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: he's just got every shot in the bag. I might

881
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: have sprinkled a little bit on him for St. Andrew's

882
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: just because his number. You know, some of these guys,

883
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: Rory's like nine to one. I got him like thirty

884
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: to one. Is there anything that you noticed Saturday and Sunday,

885
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: either with big dogs or maybe the middle tier guys

886
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: for St. Andrew's. You went, I'm gonna keep an eye

887
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: on this guy over the next month. Deckie hits such

888
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: a high ball and look, it was windy on Saturday

889
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: and he played really well. It was Saturday or Sunday,

890
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: but it was the it was the three wood. I

891
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: think Stinger on like fifteen or sixteen that Like, I

892
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: was like, okay, head deck, he's got some shots in

893
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: the bag. Yeah, I mean, I just I don't love him.

894
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: Usually in tougher conditions, I like and more dome kind

895
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: of golf. Um, but yeah, I can see it. I

896
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: think they are gonna absolutely tear up St. Andrew's if

897
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: we don't get forty wins and sideways rain. These guys

898
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: are gonna shoot sixty three's and sixty four's, Like it's

899
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 1: no big deal at that golf course the guy I like. Look,

900
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: it's chalky, it's the favorite on the on the board

901
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: right now. But Rory Mcilory's gonna play ridiculous golf there.

902
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: He might not win, but he is going to make

903
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: a ton of I would bet the bet i'd make

904
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: right now if you're not betting worried to to win

905
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: the event, and I don't even know if you can

906
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: find this bet, but worry to make the most birdies

907
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: in the field for the Open Championship in a few weeks.

908
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: I think is a really smart play because I just

909
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: see him going out there and might make some mistakes,

910
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: but he's gonna make a lot of red numbers on

911
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: the card, So I like him. Other than that, again,

912
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: look at that birdie average on the PGA Tour. Look

913
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: at the guys who aren't afraid to fill it up,

914
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: the guys who proverb your lee aren't afraid to go low.

915
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: And so I think that's who we're gonna see on

916
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: the little lege board, you know, like I said, unless

917
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: the weather comes through and we got two over winning

918
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: the golf tournament. Because you can't see straight with the

919
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: ring right into your face. To me, if if you

920
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: can find Rory and it might be hard at the time,

921
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: just plus odds to top ten, you know, one to

922
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: one or even like minus one ten. That feels like

923
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: a lock, doesn't it. Absolutely? I mean, the guy's had

924
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: a hell of a year. Well so Scottie Scheffler, which

925
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: feels like he's already locked in the Player of the

926
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: Year is a fair to say, I can see. So,

927
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's gotta go on a wall. Somebody wins

928
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: the Open, Patrick or Justin Thomas wins at St. Andrews,

929
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: they've got Player of the Year. Yeah, So for that,

930
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: that's that's at least the very start of that conversation. Well,

931
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: the one thing Scotti Schefler has he's already made twelve

932
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: million dollars I saw and obviously when you're the number

933
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: one player going in the FedEx, he could rack up,

934
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, basically Clay Thompson like a season salary. Wise.

935
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: I was talking to a player earlier today and we're

936
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: talking about the live and I said, you know what

937
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: the play might be instead of looking for a big

938
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: contract and live stay on the PGA tour, be eight

939
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: other guys in the FedEx. Up the eight guys who

940
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: are left playing the pj's already win fifteen million and

941
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: go easy. That's a good strategy. Well, thanks, enjoy the travelers,

942
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: and uh, let's go David's Riley baby. All right, all in,

943
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:21,720
Speaker 1: take it easy, sobel okay, let's go at Golo pod

944
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: is the is my Instagram, Fire in those d m

945
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: s and at gol Pot Instagram for this golf show.

946
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: Start with us. Steve, he just forwarded me a golf

947
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: digest PGA tour plans the counter rival tour with lucrative

948
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: series for the top players. Like I said earlier, those

949
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: guys left because they wanted to get their money up front.

950
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: You have to find a way. I think that's such

951
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. Like, so you're gonna make these guys

952
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: play more to earn their money, why not just hand

953
00:47:54,560 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: justin Rory raw Scotty, whoever your top guys are the ash.

954
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: Just take care of him, find a way, create some

955
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: other fake pip thing and take care of him. Don't

956
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: make them play more. That's like live's greatest you know. Example,

957
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: I I's a couple of people forwarded me I put

958
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: out on Instagram and on Twitter. Uh Brooks last week,

959
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: I don't know why he was so edgy and dismissive.

960
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: It was almost like he got defensive because he knew

961
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: what was coming that he was gonna leave. And it's

962
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: pretty clear that going into the US Open, I mean,

963
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: he can say whatever he wants, like he was he

964
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: was going to go to the Live before you know

965
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: last week, right, So uh, maybe he committed earlier in

966
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: the week wanted to let the US Open happen. But

967
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: he he looks pretty bad after that ran he went on,

968
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: I think and again I there he just could have

969
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: easily just subtly not talked much about it, but he

970
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: got very very aggressive and defensive, which was unneeded from

971
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: Joey Chadow starting to heat up about kept good going

972
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: to live. Personally, I love seeing a new business come

973
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: in and shake up the existing stale industries. Have no

974
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: problem with Live, and I think the PGA tour has

975
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: sounded like a whiny child about the whole thing. But

976
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: in all honesty, could they have done anything different to

977
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: prevent this? I really think they should have been much

978
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: more proactive on talking to the players and going one,

979
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: how do we get you more money into how do

980
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: we take care of things like your caddies expenses. Can

981
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: we pay the caddies can part of the winnings. So

982
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: if you win, if you're Massive Fitzpatrick, you win three

983
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars and we pay your caddy the ten

984
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: percent three thousand dollars instead Matt has to pay them

985
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: Like that is a huge point of difference for Live.

986
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine Live has these guys on a stipend

987
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: for food. Like when the Golden State Warriors went to

988
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry did not have to buy

989
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: his own dinner. Joe Laco pays for all their dinners.

990
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: Just basic things that made one of the reasons when

991
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: the tech industry really took off. And like two thousand,

992
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: nine thousand, ten and eleven, if you wanted to make

993
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: and be a younger person and make two hundred three hundred,

994
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, you worked on Wall Street, you

995
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: worked in money, but it was just very black and white.

996
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: You showed up early, you grinded, you left late. Then

997
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: Facebook and Google and some of these these tech companies

998
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: came around. They said, you know what, you're working at

999
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: Goldman Sacks, You're working at Morgan Stanley will pay you

1000
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: two more than you're making. You're thirty year old up

1001
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: and comer. You're making what three fifty? We'll pay you five?

1002
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: Will also provide daycare, will do your dry cleaning, will

1003
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's a gym here, and

1004
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: they're a little nappods. It's like, where did people leave

1005
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: to work? They all went to work for tech? Why

1006
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: better life conditions, more money? Life isn't that complicated? If

1007
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm paying you a hundred grand and your life sucks

1008
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: and someone comes around and offers you two fifty with

1009
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: a lot more perks, guess what You're gone? You know this?

1010
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 1: He could have figured out ways. It feels like Jay

1011
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: is completely over a skis because he didn't anticipate this

1012
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 1: stuff coming. How is that possible? I have nothing, I'm

1013
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: not part of the p G A hell, I've I've

1014
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: only been to PGA events as a fan, and I've

1015
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: been reading about this for eighteen months. How could it

1016
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: feel he got caught so flat footed? What do they

1017
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: tell you when you're playing defenses in basketball, getting to

1018
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: a defensive stance, bend your knees. Why so when he

1019
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: goes left or right, you're ready to move? I feel

1020
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: like Jay was just what was hanging out of his house.

1021
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't get it. What a shot out of the sand?

1022
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was amazing. If I send you a video of

1023
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: my swing, are you comfortable giving me swing tips? Uh?

1024
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: Not really? You know, I'm not Clyde Harmon, I'm not

1025
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: Butch Harmon, I'm not Bote Uh Summer Hays, I'm not

1026
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: you know, David Ledbetter, I'm not. I got my own

1027
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: swing issues. I'm working on keeping my hands farther away

1028
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: from my body. I saw a video of myself. I'm

1029
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: messed up. My alignment's messed up. My hands are too close.

1030
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: You know. I don't mind my back swing. I'd like

1031
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: to get a little smoother transition. But I would say

1032
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: d M claude Harmon, d M, Dave Ledbetter, d M.

1033
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: You know Sean Foley. I am by no means a

1034
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: swing coach. I'm just a guy that watches a lot

1035
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: of YouTube videos on how to improve your swing. I

1036
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: think any question you have, let's say you're hitting slice,

1037
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: let's say you're chunking the ball, type it into YouTube.

1038
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: I have done this countless time, struggle to bunker shots

1039
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: typed in bunker shots. You know who comes up like

1040
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: Jason Day and Tiger Woods. I struggle at basic chipping

1041
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: type it in. You know who comes up justin Thomas

1042
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: All this stuffs on YouTube. I promise you I am not.

1043
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm a struggling right now four handicap

1044
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: who's playing much more like an eight. So I would

1045
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: say that it is not. I am not a swing coach.

1046
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 1: I hear people talk about how they want to learn golf.

1047
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: Is the first learned power, then add direction. Total bullshit, right.

1048
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: I think developing touch and feel is far more important.

1049
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: When I practice hitting a cut on the range, I

1050
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 1: take half swings first, building up to a full swing.

1051
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: Shouldn't kids learn to hit the ball this same way

1052
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: I was born in and I started playing golf in

1053
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 1: the nineties, and the equipment that we had in the nineties,

1054
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: you learn to make solid contact, consistent solid contact ball

1055
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: striking was key. It's not the way it is anymore.

1056
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: The way people teach now is power power, power, swing hard,

1057
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: hit it far, figure it out from there. That is out.

1058
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: Every single person I've talked to that play in college golf,

1059
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: to me, that's what I would recommend now. Practicing touch

1060
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: like around the greens. You can. You gotta practice chipping.

1061
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: But if I would learn to hit it as far

1062
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: as possible, that the technology is built for the ball

1063
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: not to go that far left or that far right,

1064
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,959
Speaker 1: if you can make solid contact, so I would say yes,

1065
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: playing Mazzoon no MP two's yes, playing the ping blades,

1066
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,959
Speaker 1: you know, playing the Ben Hogan's. You need to learn

1067
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: to swing smooth, make contacts. Swing like you know Fred Couples.

1068
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying swing like Bryson d. Shambo, but I

1069
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: don't play with many good golfers that don't hit the

1070
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 1: ball three plush yards. So I would hit the ball

1071
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: for That would be my recommendation one for the bag.

1072
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: Do you think players under the current era are undervalued

1073
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: for number of victories? The sheer volume of talent on

1074
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: tour now comparison to previous generations is not comparable. For example,

1075
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: should Rory's twenty one victories be worth more than DJs

1076
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: twenty four, Well, I'd say dj is won the majority

1077
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: of his victories against Rory, against Speech, against Tiger, against Phil,

1078
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: I'd say DJs victories are pretty legit. You know, think

1079
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: how many guys under Sergio Garcia's the Westwoods. I mean

1080
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: there have been a tont Ricky Fowler's, my guy Hunter Mahan,

1081
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: there have been a I think if you've played in

1082
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years, the Tiger era, your competence Asian

1083
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: top to bottom is a lot better than like Faldo

1084
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: Norman not saying that like a singer, you know, Nick Price.

1085
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: There weren't other tie end, but I don't think their

1086
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: depth was even close. You know, Tom Watson, some of

1087
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: the guys, the depth was not close. So I'm with you.

1088
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: If you win thirty tournaments, now, would that be the

1089
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: equivalent of, like, I don't know, forty five in the seventies.

1090
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: Maybe now the counter would be if Jack was sitting here,

1091
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: Tom Watson was sitting here, is like, their equipment's way

1092
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: better if you gave me their equipment. If I won,

1093
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, fifty times, I might have won seventy. So

1094
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: it's I think it always gets back to I think

1095
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: it's very very difficult in professional sports to compare eras.

1096
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: It's hard to say, what would Sarah Curry look like

1097
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: in the eighties? Well, what would Kareem abdul Jabbar look

1098
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: like in today's game? I don't know I think My

1099
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: answer always is they'd both be good, they'd both dominate.

1100
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: Like what would mean Joe Green do today? He'd kicked

1101
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: the ship out of everyone? What would Patrick Mahomes doing

1102
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: the seventies throw touchdowns? So I hear you, but I

1103
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: think the equipment has really changed the game and the

1104
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: ball when I when I was a kid, most people

1105
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 1: played ballatas Most of the balls were really soft. Honestly,

1106
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, like playing in junior high,

1107
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: even before we got to high school, probably like two

1108
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: thousand one, two thousand two, two thousand three, there was

1109
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: one good ball. It feels like now three or four.

1110
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: Obviously the pro V one X, the t P five

1111
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: X Bridge Stone makes a sweet ball. I mean there

1112
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: are Taylor, I said, Taylor made. I mean there are

1113
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: three legit balls, let alone the clubs. So I I

1114
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: think it's hard to play that game. I really do.

1115
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: But I I hear what you're saying, but I would

1116
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: not discount DJ. His wins are legit. I I think,

1117
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: do you ever bet on live stuff? I worked for

1118
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: sports Book and get to trade the live golf tournaments sometimes,

1119
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: and for me, it seems like it easier to pick

1120
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: winners once the tournament is live and you kind of

1121
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: get a feel for who is playing well and who isn't.

1122
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: The odds are still usually pretty long, especially in the

1123
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: first three days, unless there is someone running away with it.

1124
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: Thoughts love the golf pods. I've bet live a couple

1125
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: of times and I've been burned, so I would say

1126
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: I typically don't bet live. For example, I looked at

1127
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: the live odds on Saturday when I was drinking. I

1128
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't played golf in Northern California, The Sleeper. It's a

1129
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: Lynx golf course on the water Bedega Bay, Northern California.

1130
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: Great little course. Me and my brother went out there, played.

1131
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: It was so fucking slow, by a whole sixteen. We

1132
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: quit and we went to the barn and had the

1133
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: lunch and had some pops, and I just kept drinking

1134
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the day. And I remember looking at

1135
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: it Watson in the open and some of the odds,

1136
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: like I would have put money on John Roum, and

1137
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: I think at one point in time I looked he

1138
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: was like three to one and I would have lost.

1139
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: So I I hear you, it's I actually think it's

1140
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: easier to do a live odds in football or basketball

1141
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: when it's two teams playing each other than it is

1142
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: in golf because there are so many variables. Because if

1143
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: you bet someone live even on Sunday morning, well, if

1144
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: that guy shoots seventy five and some other dude shoot

1145
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: sixty four, your guys might not even finish in the

1146
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: top five. So I think it's easy in theory, but

1147
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: in my experience, I don't hit many. I'm better off

1148
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 1: betting Wills alators before and just letting it rite out.

1149
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: Just started listening to podcast recently. It is just awesome

1150
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: as your football one. I'm twenty three and started golfing

1151
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: last summer. I started out shooting in the one twenties

1152
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: for eighteen holes. I've progressed to now shooting around consistently.

1153
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: My question is, what do you shoot roughly now and

1154
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: what did you shoot when you first started golfing. If

1155
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: I get down to the eighties by the end of summer,

1156
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: I would be thrilled. You know, I've been golfing probably

1157
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: since I was like seven eight years old. I would

1158
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: say I've been you know, I'm probably an under achiever

1159
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: at the sport. You know, I probably have hung mostly

1160
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: in the low eighties my whole life. I would not

1161
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: consider myself a great player. I've had times when I

1162
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: can get in the mid to high seventies. Right now,

1163
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm technically a foreign paper, but I don't think I'm

1164
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: playing that well. Uh. I would if I just went

1165
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: out and played right now, I would shoot somewhere between

1166
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: seventy one. But again, I've been playing. I'm thirty seven

1167
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: years old. I've been playing golf for thirty years. My

1168
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: question is, what is your recommendation for buying clubs for

1169
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: someone like me who hasn't played hardly at all, but

1170
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: grew up playing baseball, basketball and has an athletic background.

1171
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: Any certain brands used or new? By the way, I'm

1172
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: a lefty, Uh. You know, I think there's two ways

1173
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: to do it. If you're an athletic guy and you've

1174
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: never played golf, it makes sense to just buy some

1175
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: use clubs. You know, you don't need to go get

1176
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,959
Speaker 1: fitted and pay a premium a couple of thousand dollars

1177
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: to get a brand new set of clubs. I would

1178
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: go somewhere dis golf mart and buy a use set

1179
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: of clubs. Now, if you're an athletic guy, I would

1180
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: buy a better brand whether that's I play Taylor Maids,

1181
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: but Callaway's titleists whatever, get their cavity backs more forgiving

1182
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: clubs and just trying to get it reasonably priced. Now

1183
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: golf clubs are not cheap, even used in my kasha,

1184
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: But I would try to get a solid brand, a

1185
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: legitimate set of clubs, newer, uh so good technology, but

1186
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to get fitted perfectly and then kind

1187
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: of go from there, start screwing around, start playing, working

1188
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: on your game, and that that's how kind of I

1189
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: would I would go about It would be my take. Uh,

1190
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: enjoy your podcasts, all of them. Here's my question, what

1191
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: is the endgame for Live? Is it just a battle

1192
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: established another golf circuit. Is it a VanDette against the

1193
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: p g A. The money they are giving out is outrageous.

1194
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: They're never going to recoup that money anytime soon. They

1195
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: obviously don't have a TV deal, so ratings aren't iportant

1196
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: to them. Do they even have a plan in place?

1197
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I think some of the criticism of the golfers that

1198
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: switch would be less if they actually were trying to

1199
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: help establish a viable competition for the p g A.

1200
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: As I see it, Live has got more money than

1201
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: the PGA. So basically it's just an attempt at making

1202
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: good press for the Saudis. If you can point me

1203
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I think it's

1204
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: double Anny. I think you hit it at the end.

1205
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: You know, sports washing is what the media tells me,

1206
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: and it's when you use sports to make your regime

1207
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: or your country look better. Even though I think I

1208
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: saw Rick say this at bar stool, Like honestly, we

1209
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: never really talked about Sandy. When I talked about Sadi,

1210
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: you just talked about like that's where we get our oil.

1211
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, Biden's going over there to try to

1212
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: get oil the costal or even though it's they're gonna

1213
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: say kick rocks, but like they're one of our biggest

1214
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: trade partners. So when they're sports washing, it's actually come

1215
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: up much more with us talking about these golfers. Now,

1216
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: are we gonna keep the same energy for a long

1217
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: period of time. Probably not. Uh, there is a vandetta.

1218
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: This was Greg Norman's had this idea for thirty years.

1219
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: Greg Norman hates the PGA tour. Greg Norman came up

1220
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: with the idea for the w g c S and

1221
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour stole them and implemented them. Greg Norman

1222
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: thinks that the PGA Tour has fucked guys like him

1223
01:01:54,840 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: star players for decades. So Greg Norman could not do

1224
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: this alone. Greg Norman did need to find the backing.

1225
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: He did, and now he's trying to ruin the PGA Tour.

1226
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: That is his goal. So the end game. I think

1227
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: their end game is to make the Saudis look good

1228
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: and steal as many players as possible and figure it

1229
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: out from there. I don't think they have like one

1230
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: day we're playing, you know all these tournaments mean this

1231
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: will want to get a major like I don't think

1232
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: they're that far. They're just trying to develop a circuit

1233
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: to make the Saudis look good and and ruin the

1234
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. I honestly, I think it's as simple as that,

1235
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: which is kind of crazy, but that's just the reality.

1236
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: Not a huge golf fan outside of Tiger in the majors,

1237
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: but I have decide with the live golfers, the p

1238
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: g A does not offer the players anything other than

1239
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: the chance to compete for money, and the players have

1240
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: to earn that opportunity. The only solution now is for

1241
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: the PGA to offer the players a true sixty forty

1242
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: transparent revenue sharing where the players get sixty of whatever

1243
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: the networks pay for each event, with the majority of

1244
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: the sixty going to the purse and the remainder in

1245
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: a form of a stipend each player that qualifies for

1246
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: each event. That player can use for expenses, lodging, caddy,

1247
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: et cetera. That way, they can still give twenty percent

1248
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: to charity and for overhead. This can all be negotiable,

1249
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: but the PGA has to act now, otherwise they will

1250
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: become the WWF because if players can still play in

1251
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the majors, which is all that really matters. I agreed,

1252
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: every top player will eventually leave to live because the

1253
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: tour will be devalued with weak fields. Completely agree. This

1254
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: is where Jay Monahan is getting ruined by Greg Norman.

1255
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Like Greg Norman, he's not winning because he hasn't stolen

1256
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: all the players, But like you would say, if it's

1257
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: a game, he is up in the game. I mean,

1258
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: we're in the first five minutes of this. They played

1259
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: one event, and he's already taken multiple top twenty guys,

1260
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: three top twenty guys with a bunch of majors. Star

1261
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: American players Dustin Johnson, Brooks Kepka and Bryson D. Shambo

1262
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: are superstars and Phil Besides, Tiger is the most famous

1263
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: golfer since Greg Norman and and he's one of the

1264
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: most famous golfers since like Jack and Arnie and Greg Norman.

1265
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Like he's on a shortlist, Ben Hogan. Tiger feel like

1266
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: he's on the top ten list of most famous golfers

1267
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport. So Greg Norman's winning

1268
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: right now, not necessarily Jay's losing, but Jay's I feel

1269
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: like Jay's against the ropes and just taking body blows

1270
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: from Norman. And I don't know if he has the

1271
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali ropod open him, Like eventually Greg's a couple

1272
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: of players away from Naylor and knockout blow John. Listen

1273
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: to your podcast What is your play? From a hundred

1274
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: yards to a tucked pin. I'm a member at Columbia

1275
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon. It's our annual l

1276
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: LPGA tour stop. If you're ever in Portland area, let

1277
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: me know, and I would love to take you out

1278
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: on my tree ship. I'd love to come. Ce c

1279
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: C is an a v make on layout and impeccable conditions.

1280
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Wish you the best. Side note, I'm a two two currently,

1281
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: you're a pretty good player. I would say a hundred

1282
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: yards to a tuck pin is kind of this choke

1283
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: down fifty four. I wouldn't say full swing, but probably

1284
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a ninety percent back swing and aggressive down swing. And

1285
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: if I got if it's a tuck pin, meaning I

1286
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: gotta go over a bunker, I'm planted high. I've also

1287
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: tried to implement the J. T. Phills had this forever

1288
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of that low runner, you know between a hundred

1289
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: and eighty yards, kind of skips once and then stops

1290
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: skips a couple of times, which is really hard. I mean,

1291
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: I I probably need to work a little bit more

1292
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: on that, but I feel I got the hundred yards

1293
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: shot that I got hit in the air pretty good. Um,

1294
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident with that shot. I'm much less

1295
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: confident probably from like sixty to eighty eight two eight

1296
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: three tough shot for me. Still working on the kinks

1297
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: out on that one. Golf is an untapped especially for

1298
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: people like me that got serious over the vid QQ

1299
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: for the pot. What's your opinion on how the p

1300
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: j is handling Live personally. I think it's below them

1301
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: and kind of childish. They have the social and physical

1302
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 1: capital to improve their entertainment product a bit and get

1303
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: more investment capital to bump up the purses, but the

1304
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: suspensions and little consequences will only go so far as

1305
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: player public sediment continue to change for Live, which it

1306
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: already has changed a lot in a week or two. Ps.

1307
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Not sure if I speak for everyone, but I'd love

1308
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: to hear your bit about your golf game each week,

1309
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: what you're working on, how you got better, or even

1310
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: have some stories for us normal people. It's fun to

1311
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: hear normal people navigate their golf games well. Playing against

1312
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: my brother who had labor surgery, uh like six months ago,

1313
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: and he's he's like a one or two. He's a

1314
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: good player, lefty. I was kicking his ass and we

1315
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: played for like fifty bucks and I was one under

1316
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: through five holes, just Bertie Putt after Bertie Putt knocked

1317
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: one tight, and I started feeling myself. I'm on a

1318
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: group text with a guy that played in the US Open,

1319
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: his brother who's a big, really good player, and my

1320
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 1: brother and I got cocky. I started texting, I'm kicking

1321
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Jeff's ass, taking pictures of the scorecard. Four straight pars

1322
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,919
Speaker 1: and my birdie, I'm like, I'm going low, and then

1323
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: the next that was whole five. So the next four

1324
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: holes I go five over and uh, you know I

1325
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: would have shot like eighty. So you gotta be careful

1326
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: in golf about getting too cocky early. And that happens

1327
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to me sometimes, and it's the opposite when I start shitty.

1328
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get too down on myself. You've got a

1329
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: lot of golf left, so I'm really I need to

1330
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: work on my my posture that I feel like I'm

1331
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: hunched over, hands are too close to my body and

1332
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: it's just made for inconsistent ball striking. So yeah, I've

1333
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: already given my opinion on the on the golf stuff,

1334
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: so appreciate everyone chiming in at go lopod fire in

1335
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: the d m s. You know, listen, I agree with

1336
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas. Ultimately this sucks. I don't want golf to

1337
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: be fractured. But as someone who started a golf podcast

1338
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: in two two to go along with my football podcast,

1339
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty entertaining. I don't really like it's It's added

1340
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot of content and It's become one of the

1341
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: bigger stories in sports because it is a pretty polarizing story, right.

1342
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: It combines famous people, sports, politics, money, it's kind of

1343
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: got it all, you know, it's kind of got it all.

1344
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: So from a content standpoint, I'll be honest, I'm not complaining,

1345
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 1: not complaining at all. The volume
