Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecoff a little go

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: low today, wanted to do some golf because the Players

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Championship is this weekend the best field in golf. Well

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: it used to be, not anymore because of live but

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: because it's the players, like it's customary at the Super

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Bowl or the NBA Finals. The commissioner spoke and let's

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: say he did not exactly exis zude confidence? And I

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: read a couple articles today. I mean, it's just it's

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: pretty sad the situation if what currently is going on,

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: and it's hard not to be a direct reflection of leadership.

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: And you gotta wonder, man is Jay Monahan on borrowed time?

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean that today was an embarrassment for him talking.

36
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Other than that, Scottie Scheffler learned how to putt again

37
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: and dominated. He had one of the greatest seasons in

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: the history of the sport, at least since they've statistically

39
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: measured it, since Tiger Woods, hitting the golf ball. Last

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: year driving irons around the green. Problem was he couldn't

41
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: putt even earlier this year couldn't putt. Now it looks

42
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: like Scotty Scheffler can put again, changed the putter and

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: won pretty easily at one of the toughest courses on

44
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. So I think it's fair to say

45
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be pretty bullish on Scotti Scheffler as we

46
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: headed into the majors, and his odds in these tournaments reflected.

47
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's not quite getting like two three

48
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: to one Tiger treatment, but he's he's under six to

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: one this week. So we'll discuss a little Scottie Shuffler

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: and then just overall some of my bets this weekend.

51
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I have a decent amount of money on the table

52
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: for the players, probably a little too much, to be

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: honest with you. I got I might have got a

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: little aggressive, but we needed to go well. But I'll

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: give you who I'm gambling on and why. And I

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: saw Zala Taurus. I don't know if his back is

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: acting up. I already had money on him before that happened,

58
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: so that makes me a little nervous. But we got

59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: the surgery for a reason other than that. We had

60
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: a football only video yesterday on day two of free agency,

61
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Derrick Henry, some of those guys justin field.

62
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Still as of recording, this has not been traded, so

63
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: some thoughts there. And we will be live when free

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: agency i'd say officially opens on Wednesday on the YouTube channel.

65
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: It will also be a podcast I think for Thursday.

66
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: But I think we have a pretty good idea what's

67
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: already happened. But you never know. I mean, there's these

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: aggressive gms, so I just wanted to get a little

69
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: golf in on this busy football weekend because it's such

70
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: a big tournament. Jay talked and I'm gambling pretty heavily

71
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: on it. But make sure you subscribe to the podcast

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: if you listen on Collins feed. Like I said, a

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of content that didn't quite make it to the

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: podcast streets because of timing, but is on the YouTube channel,

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: so make sure you check that out. Just type in

76
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff three and out go low either one you'll

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: end up at the page. But before we dive in

78
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: to the golfing world, I gotta tell you about my friends,

79
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: my partners in the official ticketing app of this podcast.

80
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: I was watching the WCC semi Finals last night. Gonzaga

81
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: was playing USF and tonight is the championship on Tuesday night,

82
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's against Gonzaga, and anyone who's ever had the chance.

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: If you have the NCAA Tournament, the round of sixty

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: four and thirty two coming to your air, I would

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: highly recommend going one. You can camble now two. It's

86
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: just extremely entertaining. You sit there, drink some beers, watch

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: NCAA basketball all day. It's a very, very fun experience.

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I've done it a couple times San Jose and Sacramento

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,400

98
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: these championship games in the conference tournament, and then obviously

99
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament, which is just easily one of the

100
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: better events in America. So promo code Go Lo download

101
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: the game time out. I was watching the Patriot documentary,

102
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: which some episodes I've hated, some I've really liked, and

103
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell came into the last couple episodes I saw

104
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: because the flate gate was one of the topics, and

105
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: anyone that's you know, a lot of people do. It's

106
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: the biggest sport in America. Roger is not at a

107
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: press conference or in front of a Mike mister personality.

108
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: He is not just some guy owning the room in

109
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the sense of throwing zingers interacting with the media in

110
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the way that they like. That's not really I wouldn't

111
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: call him Bill Belichick on the podium, but he's not

112
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: exactly you know, Bill Parcells either, So he can do that.

113
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Though his league is one of the most successful businesses

114
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: in this country. They are printing money. He doesn't even

115
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: actually really need the media. Why because he has us,

116
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: the fans who watchrly in record numbers. So when he

117
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: gets in a situation that is not easy to deal

118
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: with he kind of just says nothing and is pretty boring,

119
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: and honestly, you kind of know what to expect if

120
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: you've watched him talk of he's not gonna say much.

121
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: Things are going really well. He doesn't need to. Well,

122
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour is currently the opposite of the NFL.

123
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: It's in shambles. They have lost easily five or six

124
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: of their star players, most polarizing players and guys that

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: help move the needle for their sport. So j Monahan,

126
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: who is the commissioner, which is currently you know there

127
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: is peacetime and there is wartime. Well, the golf world

128
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: is in the middle of a civil war that involves

129
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: the Sadis, and that involves the PGA Tour, and that

130
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: involves the division between his players. Many clearly are not

131
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: comfortable with these guys coming back to the PGA Tour.

132
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Even Rory McElroy has changed his tune, like, we need

133
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to all play together again.

134
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: And then you have the Jordan Speace and the Ricky

135
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: Fowlers who are kind of like fuck that they need

136
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: to pay for their sins, which to me really angers me,

137
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: not because they feel the way they feel very understandable.

138
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: We all our feelings are based off our experience. I

139
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: never fault anyone for believing something politically personally in a

140
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: business if that's what their experience tells them to feel.

141
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: But when you're in a business, sometimes you have to

142
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: be able to take a step back. And the healthiest

143
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: thing for this sport is to figure out a way

144
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: to get together. Why try to watch Jamon Hand today

145
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: talk and I figured out pretty quickly he's a lot

146
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: like Roger Goodell says nothing is not really comfortable up

147
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: there in front of the press, And I think Roger

148
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: is dramatically more comfort but Jay honestly feels uncomfortable. That's

149
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: a problem in this issue right now, which he'd said

150
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: nothing of, Like, you gotta do whatever it takes to

151
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: figure out a deal with these guys. Nobody cares that

152
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: you just signed some future agreement with Arthur Blank, with

153
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox group, the Glazers, all these rich

154
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: guys that own NFL and NBA teams. We don't give

155
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: a shit. All I want to do is on a

156
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: non major turn on the television and see John Rahm,

157
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, Bryson, d Chambeau, Brooks, Koepka, with Jordan Spieth,

158
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: with Scottie Scheffler, with will Zlatour's and right now that

159
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: is nowhere close to happening, and that is a problem.

160
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: And even he said today when ask about the situation,

161
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: they still have a lot to work through. And it's

162
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: pretty clear that some of his players, some of his

163
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: it's more famous players, don't want to avoid a deal.

164
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: And this gets back to Tiger Woods talking about like, yeah,

165
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: we'll see how this plays out. It's not a lock

166
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: we're going to do a deal with them, And it

167
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: just makes me shake my head. Your sport is not

168
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: strong enough to be splintered. And when things are splintered,

169
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: you need people in a management situation that know what

170
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: they're doing, that can see the big picture. And it

171
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like Jay can. And it also doesn't feel

172
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: like Jay any longer has the pull that he needs

173
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: to have internally within his top players. So when I

174
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: watched Jay talk at least as long as I could,

175
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: it's just so boring. I went, this situation is not

176
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: getting fixed anytime soon. Now. The players have never made

177
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: more money. The problem is it's kind of fake. I mean,

178
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: it's real money going into their accounts. But it's not

179
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: real in the sense your business is not generating this

180
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the TV contract you guys just signed. Their television ratings

181
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: are currently down. They say this all the time about

182
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: the NBA. NBA players have never made more. You see

183
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: guys sign these forty fifty to fifty five sixty million

184
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: dollars a year contracts. Well, that's because the television contract

185
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: is a fixed number. Well, they have been getting royally

186
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: screwed for the last six or seven years with the

187
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: ratings going into the tank. So when I watch this

188
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: golfing situation in Jay Monahan, you have this is inevitable

189
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: where it's gonna go. You have to do a deal

190
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: with live golf, and yet you never want to do

191
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: a deal with someone that has way more money than you,

192
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: even as you add some of these NFL owners. But

193
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: these NFL owners are getting involved to make a profit

194
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: and you guys simply cannot do that the way currently constructed.

195
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: It was always going to be difficult. The moment Tiger

196
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Woods disappeared, and let's face it, in terms of the

197
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: PGA tour, he's disappeared. It was exciting when he said

198
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: in the fall, I plan on playing once a month

199
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: that's clearly not happening. I think it's fair to say,

200
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: best case scenario, he plays the four Majors, and more

201
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: than likely three or the four of them, he's not

202
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: even gonna make the cut anymore, which pains me to say,

203
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: him and Michael Jordan my favorite athletes of all time.

204
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: But the draw of Tiger Woods isn't there if he's

205
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: not around. So you're very dependent on all these other players,

206
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: which a diehard like myself enjoys. But the average fan

207
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: doesn't even know the majority of guys outside the top

208
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: seven or eight players. So I think Jay and the

209
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: current situation is an utter disaster that there's no way

210
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: to spin it. And I'm not some doomsday guy, but

211
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: I just know you can't maintain this business without those

212
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: other guys. And those other guys all get together during

213
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: the Majors. That has nothing to do with the PGA Tour.

214
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: The PGA Tour does not own the Majors. Help they

215
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: kick those guys out of the Ryder Cup, which the

216
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: PGA Tour you know, owns the President Cup, not even

217
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. So you see this situation and you

218
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: just go, this sucks. It really does, and It's one

219
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: thing when you get a dynamic leader right and you go,

220
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna figure it out. Steve Jobs came back

221
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: to Apple in the late nineties early two thousands, changed

222
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: the company. Jeff Bezos. It's like, yeah, if he gets involved,

223
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: this is probably gonna be successful. I have no faith

224
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: in Jay Monahan. I don't know the guy, but I

225
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: just watch him talk and I watch the results because

226
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't base really anything in life off words. Nothing

227
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: means less to me in business than words. Every thing

228
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: is about action and results, and right now, the results

229
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: in the current situation sucks that there's no way around it,

230
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: and he just does not feel like a guy dynamic

231
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: enough to fix this problem. And the other thing is

232
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: some of this is out of his control. If I

233
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: wanted to defend him. His players don't care what we think,

234
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: and the reason they have the money is us, So

235
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: if we don't factor in, they got problems. On a

236
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: positive note, Scotty Scheffler, who is it's hard. I would

237
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: say him and Rom were basically equals, but now I

238
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: don't even get to watch Rom play golf anymore. When

239
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Scotty is on, he is the best player in the world.

240
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: I think we'd all agree to that one problem that

241
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: happened last year, which based on all the metrics, was

242
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest ball striking years Green meaning everything

243
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: except putting since peak tiger Woods. But he didn't win

244
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: a major. Hell he didn't even win the FedEx Hoblan did.

245
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: It almost felt in a weird way with this all

246
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: time great season that the guy underachieved. Why can't putt?

247
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: As someone who hovers around like a four to six handicap,

248
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I can have days where I have I would say five.

249
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: You know, three to five pretty solid birdie looks on

250
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: a couple of par fives, knock a couple irons, clothes

251
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: on par four's, and if my putter's hot, I can

252
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: make four. If my putter's off, I won't make one.

253
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes all three putt. Why because most of us are

254
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: very very average putters. Now, I believe for the amateur game,

255
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: you should focus much more on your own off the

256
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: tea game. Hit the fairway, and then the worst you're

257
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna if you're hitting every fairway, if you're a ten handicap,

258
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: you'll be in the mid eighties. If you're a four handicap,

259
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: you'll be in the high seventies. If you're in the

260
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: trees NonStop, I don't care. If you're a great putter,

261
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day. But for these pros,

262
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: which are pepper and greens, putting is very, very important.

263
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: And Scotti Scheffler went on a stretch where it was like,

264
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: this is insane, how bad of a putter he was,

265
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: And even Rory McElroy said a couple weeks ago, like, yeah,

266
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: maybe he should change the putter. And I think, like

267
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: a lot of humans, whether it's your parents, whether it's

268
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: your wife, whether it's people your business partners or people

269
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: you work for, when you're told something and you're really

270
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: good at something, to change your first natural reaction, I'm like,

271
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: this is no even if in the back of your

272
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: head you're like, eh, that's not a terrible idea. And

273
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if at first he's like, yes, I'm not

274
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: changing the change, even if I'm a disaster, and eventually

275
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: you get to a point of no return, you're like,

276
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: what do I have to lose? Miss Moore Putts. He

277
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: changed his putter and by the end of Bay Hill

278
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: look like Tiger Woods. It was not a fair fight.

279
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: He kicked everybody's ass. I saw the Shane Lowry interview

280
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the tournament and he's like, honestly,

281
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: I played pretty incredible this week, and then they asked him, like,

282
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: what could you have done against Scottie Scheffler and he

283
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: was essentially speechless. He's like, yeah, I don't know, because

284
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing you could do. And that's what Tiger Woods

285
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: used to do. Because I'll never forget Hunter Mayhan telling

286
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: me people don't understand how good Tiger Woods was. In

287
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: to speak, he was literally the best at everything. The

288
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: only thing he wasn't elite at was accuracy off the tee,

289
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: but when he had to, he wasn't spraying it all over.

290
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: He was the longest, he was the best iron player,

291
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: he was the best guy around on the greens, and

292
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: no one made more putts when they had to. You

293
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: could argue in the history of golf than Tiger Woods.

294
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Even Jack Nicholas, historically not a great shipper of the ball.

295
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: Tiger in his prime was elite with a fucking wedge

296
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: in his hand. Scotti Scheffler same thing, all time, great

297
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: iron player, great around the green, but if you're gonna

298
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: miss putts, I don't care how good you are. Honestly,

299
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: it was always a sneaky downfall. Phil Nicholson used to

300
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: miss a lot of putts he should have made for

301
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: as great as his career was, maybe he's got four

302
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: or five more wins and a couple more majors if

303
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: he was just a better putter. He was very streaky.

304
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler last week was just a legit putter. And

305
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: if he's gonna putt like that like he did a

306
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, he's gonna win five or six

307
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: times this year and he should win multiple majors. Now,

308
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: am I gonna put money on him to win this week?

309
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm not, just because winning back to back weeks is very,

310
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: very difficult, but he's also being treated like Tiger Woods.

311
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: He's almost five to one to win. The players I remember,

312
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the last since I've been betting on

313
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: a golf the last four or five years. When a

314
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: guy gets really hot and he's playing really well, a

315
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, a Rory McElroy, a John Rahm, they can

316
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: get to that like eight nine range. You start getting

317
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: down to like approaching four to one, you're in a

318
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: different stratosphere and I enjoy watching him, and it's just

319
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: fun to watch a guy like his feet are all

320
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: kind of over the place. It doesn't look as natural

321
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: and smooth as say Rory. It's not just like as

322
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: consistent when he's on as John Rahm. It's actually a

323
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: little bit more of a rollercoaster in elite way. And

324
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: I find Scotty when he's on just a very fun.

325
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: He's honestly got a little Phil mickelsonto him, just doing

326
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy shit, working the ball both ways,

327
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: feet falling all over the place. But you look up

328
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: at the end you're like, he's kicking everyone's butt. And

329
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: that's what he did last week on I ran in

330
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: the other day to Tony Fino at TBC. He decided

331
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: not to play bay Hill. It was an elevated event

332
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, I just I don't like the course.

333
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: And I asked him, He's like, that course is brutal,

334
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: It's like a US Open. He thought whole six is

335
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: like one of the harder holes on tour. He's like

336
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: every single shot, he's like, you take a par it's

337
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: not that long of a par five, but he's like

338
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: both your drive and then obviously you're approach shot, you're

339
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: just all you see is water and it's just it's tough.

340
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: They grow out the rough just like a US Open.

341
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: It's not fun. I mean, historically people hate that course.

342
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: They avoid it like the plague. If it wasn't for

343
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Tiger winning it like twenty five times, I don't even

344
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: know if we talk about it like we do now.

345
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Obviously it's associated with Arnold Palmer, who I was thinking

346
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: about the other day because I had the Golf channel

347
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: on in the background and they were showing some stuff

348
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: about if I could play eighteen holes with one guy

349
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: like in their forties or fifties, right, they could still play.

350
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't need them to be like in the peak

351
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: of their powers, but just to hear stories from Arnold

352
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: Palmer will probably be a pretty incredible human being. I mean, seriously,

353
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: all time great businessman, all time great showman, all time

354
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: great player. Has you could argue one of my favorite

355
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: drinks of all time the Arnold Palmer if you poured

356
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: a little Tito's making the John daily, that's really really

357
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: hard to beat. But Scotti Scheffler made that course look

358
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: like Tiger Woods used to. And if that's the way

359
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna put I would put his over under

360
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: at majors at like one and a half. To me,

361
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: he feels like a lock to win a major, and

362
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: honestly he feels like a lock to be in them all.

363
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: That's for this weekend. I would say, I wouldn't say

364
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: I have an uncomfortable amount of money wagered on the players,

365
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: but it's definitely not amount of money that I'm not.

366
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm somewhere in the middle of comfortable and uncomfortable. It's

367
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot and one strategy I did last week and

368
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: I plan on doing again is placing a lot of money,

369
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: like instead of just doing I'll just give you an example.

370
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna bet on a winner for the just

371
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: on a random tournament, the most I'll put usually is

372
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: like one hundred hundred and fifty because one thing I've learned,

373
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: it's very very hard to hit. Now, once you hit them,

374
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: it kind of keeps you coming back, but you're not

375
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: going to make money and be successful doing that very often.

376
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: So instead of just putting fifty or one hundred dollars

377
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: on a guy thirty forty to one, I've put a

378
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: lot of money on guys to finish in the top twenty,

379
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: and you can get odds on like a Decki Matsiama.

380
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: You can get him plus one seventy. You could get

381
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Sahith Thagala almost three to one to finish in the

382
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: top twenty. Now, this is a ball striker's course. Several

383
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: years ago, one of I would say I've probably hit

384
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: five or six winners over the last three years. One

385
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: of the guys that I hit as a winner was

386
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas, who won this tournament. I think I got one

387
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on him, won a couple grand and he's

388
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: not the greatest putter, but if you are a great

389
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: ball striker, I like your chances. And Hideki is playing

390
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: very very well. Same thing with the Gala. Another guy

391
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: who's a little bit of a longer odds guy, who

392
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: ironically I think is Arnold Palmer's grandson, is Eric Cole.

393
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: Last year he was like a thirty four year old

394
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: rookie on the PGA Tour. He's a really good player.

395
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: Now I had a top twenty on him. Last week

396
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: he finished twenty first. So it's not like you're a

397
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: lock to hit the bat, and if you're on the

398
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: right guy, it's difficult but the top twenty the one

399
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: thing I've learned with the top twenties gives you a

400
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: lot of leeway, especially if you have some horses Anthagala

401
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: and Hadeki. I feel really good about now. One strategy

402
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: that I claim not to do that I am gonna

403
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: do this week because I won a bunch of money

404
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: last week and I just kind of rolled some over

405
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: right away. Was on zalaz Horus to win this tournament,

406
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: and a couple days ago he was twenty five to one.

407
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: That's what I got him at. Well, there's some you know,

408
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: he's had back injuries in the past. I saw this

409
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: injury report that someone put out that I don't know

410
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: if his back flared up. His odds are now thirty

411
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: five to one. Don't love that, But will zal Torris

412
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: healthy the guy we've seen this year. To me, I

413
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: like him to compete and have a very very good

414
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: chance to win this tournament. Now the injury, I don't know.

415
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: That definitely makes me nervous. But I got large bets

416
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: on Eric Cole the Gala. Adeki Matsiama, another guy I like,

417
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: as long as his odds are floating thirty five to

418
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: forty to one any PGA Tour event is Ludvig. Because

419
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: I was like, Ah, Ludvig's playing.

420
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: Kind of bad.

421
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: Then I looked his weekend pebble. He easily could have

422
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: won the Sunday got rained out, he would have been

423
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: playing with Wyndham Clark at Riviera. He was pretty damn good.

424
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: And even last week I'm like, ah, got he finished

425
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: toward the end, finished tied for twenty fifth. So it's

426
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: not like he's uncomfortable in Florida grass, and clearly from

427
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: a talent standpoint as an iron player, which this course

428
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: sure feels like. Good iron players have a lot of

429
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: success here. I like his chances and you get him.

430
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: I sprinkled a little on thirty five to one, but

431
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: as a top ten, as a top twenty, to me,

432
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Ludwig is a pretty pretty interesting bet. And overall it's

433
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: just sad that, you know, the cam Smith's, the ROMs,

434
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: the DJs, the Koepkas aren't gonna be in this tournament.

435
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know how long we can keep beating

436
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: a dead horse that, as we saw with Jay today,

437
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: is not happening anytime soon. The volume
