20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: This week a little bit of a dud just because

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: it's different. The Zurich. You know, it's a team event. Uh,

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: you know it's not it's not a huge events. Let's

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: just call a spade a spade. Talk to Jason Sobol

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: a little bit later about gambling on that event. We

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: also touched on speech and last weekend, and also Phil

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Tiger entering the Uh the u S Open officially at least,

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, logistically putting their name in. Who knows what

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: that actually means. I get his take on it. I'll

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: have some thoughts on Jordan's speeke Uh. Just some other

30
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: news and notes. The match will not include Filler Tiger,

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: but it will include Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers,

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen Um. Also something on the John Dailey

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: and his son John Dailey Jr. But other than that

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: at Golo Pod. At Golo Pod is the Instagram. If

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: you want to get a question answer here on the show,

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: just go to at golo pod Instagram. Easiest way to

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: connect with me in terms of golf. I actually think

38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: you know this isn't I'm not gonna talk much about

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: my golf game because that's a little bit like people

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: on podcasts or radio talking about their fantasy football team.

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't really think you care but I think

42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: I might have figured something out and it could be

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: a dangerous, dangerous summer if if I am correct and

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: I actually figured that out. Um yeah, so at Golo

45
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: pod slide into those d M s. Well, I was

46
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: pretty locked in last weekend to uh to Hilton men

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: and uh it's an awesome tournament. It's fun to watch

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: on television. It's hard not to watch that and want

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: to play to go to South Carolina and play that

50
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: golf course, which is a public course. It's you can

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: get on. Uh. I I aspire, I mean I will

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: one day. I've actually never been to South Carolina, but

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to watch that tournament not go I want

54
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: to play that now. Clearly some of the aerial shots,

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, this plays a little tighter, and you think,

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: but it looks like a very very fun place to

57
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: play golf. And I was kicking myself because we talked

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: about last week something that I tell sobl this something

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: happened with my debit card. They were like some weird transactions,

60
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like people trying to steal thousands of dollars.

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: It was like eighteen dollars, like a dairy queen or

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: something and Wells Fargo reached out to me, and then

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I had to call and I was like, I don't

64
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: really want to cancel my card, are we sure? And

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: the guy recommended it, so I canceled my card. So

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: I didn't have the ability to put any shackles into

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: my ability to gamble on the golf tournament last week

68
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: and if you know, if you listened, I like Shane

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Lowry and I like Harold Varner and then they're both

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: in the final group. Even though I had a buddy

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Warshawski, big gambler who we went to college with,

72
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: to x me on Saturday night. He's like, you can

73
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: get Harold Varner right now five to one or Shane Lowry,

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, four to one. The problem was, I like,

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: can't Ley. I'm like, you know, I Canty was one

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: job back. I would bet on him, and ultimately he

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: ended up in the playoffs. But the guy we did

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: not see coming was Jordan's Speed, and Jordan's is has

79
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: had one of the most historic starts to his golf

80
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: career in the history of the sport. Right He's on

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the shortlist of Tiger Rory, I mean rattling off majors

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: before you're twenty five, and not just a major, but

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: several majors put you in a different category. Now he's

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: got thirteen wins, he's obviously worth hundreds of millions of dollars,

85
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: but he's worth so much to golf because I actually

86
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: think his most relatable quality is you can watch him

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: play golf and go I could do that because he'll

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: pump it in the trees or he'll three putt from

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: a foot right, like literally have a tap in and

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: miss it, which he did on Saturday, and he's done

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: several times. I think he did it a couple of

92
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago at the Valerium. Like that is something that

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: he consistently does. His golf game is very human, like

94
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: most of us have ups and downs. We can have

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: a Bertie and then we can have a double bogey.

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: We can pump one out of bounds, we can knock

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: one ten ft. That that his his golf game is

98
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: just there's a human element to this. And I've been

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: saying for a long time to me, his comp is

100
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson. Now, Phil, their games are different. Phil had

101
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: much more power. Uh, Phil was more physically gifted, but

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: in terms of like their relatability comes from their ability

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: to do the crazy ship from like behind a tree,

104
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: or look at their caddy and be like, you hand

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: me the three wood, and the caddies telling them lay

106
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: up with a seven iron, and he goes, hand me

107
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: the big dog. I mean. There's a famous viral video

108
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: of Jordan years ago at Augusta when Michael Grell or

109
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: his caddy goes, man, I think you should do this,

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and it was laying up at whole thirteen, and Jordan

111
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: looks at me goes, what would Arnold do? Maybe said

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: what would Arnie do? And Arnold's famous story is when

113
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: he was investing in the Golf Channel, and his lawyers

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: and accountants, because they're always gonna lean be conservative, told

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: him do not do this. And he said to all

116
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: of them, if I hadn't hit it through a few trees,

117
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: none of us would be doing any of this. Listen,

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: you gotta have balls, you gotta have stones to win

119
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: it big in life. And Jordan's from a golf standpoint,

120
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: like Phil is unafraid to fail because most of us,

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: how often when you're playing golf, you go I don't

122
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: really want to lay up here, and you go for

123
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: it now we're not playing PGA tournaments. Even if we're

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: playing a money game, it's probably not that much money.

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: So if you hit it in the water, oh well,

126
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: But that's how most of us play golf. A lot

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: of the conservative guys on the PGA Tour, their style

128
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: of golf is not that relatable, and he is just

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: a roller coaster, like the hue An element of him. Listen,

130
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: we're always going to relate in sports to guys that

131
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: experience high highs and experienced low lows. Part of Tiger's career,

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: right that really has resonated with human beings, even though

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: he's not a very relatable guy given his wealth, given

134
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: his fame, given his accomplishments, is he's had some crazy

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: shit happen in life. He's gotten car accidents, he's gotten

136
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: bad divorce. He just has things that there's not one

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: person listening right now that doesn't know someone that hasn't

138
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: gone through a divorce. There's probably not one person listening

139
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: self inflicted or not that doesn't know someone that's been

140
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: in a car accident. Like these are very human elements

141
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: and it makes you relate to the other person. And

142
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson and Jordan's speech like ultimately fill up until

143
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: right now, like has kind of just always been on top.

144
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: Now he struggled in golf, but he's never really hit

145
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: a low moment Like it looked like a couple of

146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: years ago, Jordan's feet was heading down the ricky path,

147
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: like was he gonna be on the PGA Tour? Obviously

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: had exemptions because of money, but just in terms of

149
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: is he ever gonna be a to compete again? And

150
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: now he's turned it around the last couple of years.

151
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: He's won a couple of times. He was in the

152
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup and he went to this event that was

153
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: a pretty loaded field, Like I I think his struggles

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: draw us closer to him, like whenever Phil comes back.

155
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Phil has added an element to his story that just

156
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: wasn't there. Like there was positives and negatives with Tiger,

157
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: there was positives and no negatives with Phil. And now

158
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: obviously Jordan doesn't have the off the course controversy and

159
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: more than likely he never will. It's not really his

160
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: thing and he's not I I would bet against that,

161
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: but his controversy of like, unlike Phil was never going

162
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: away right, He was healthy his game up until he

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: was late forties, dominated on the PGA Tour. Jordan's struggles

164
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: were real, dude to those missing cuts and then even

165
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: in a microscope of the last fourteen days, he missed

166
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: the cut of Augusta, which he's only pretty much contested,

167
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, consistently contested to win the tournament, and he

168
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: has one before. He's always been in the mix. He

169
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: said as much in his post round presser on Sunday,

170
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: like this, that's a tournament number one is my favorite

171
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: tournament in the world, and I would imagine a large

172
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: reason is his favorite tournament in the world because he

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: dominates there and he missed the cut and then to

174
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: come back and to win like this, he was a

175
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: twenty two one. Uh his odds were twenty two one

176
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: going into Sunday to win an up you know, in

177
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: in the fashion which he did in extra holes against

178
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: a better player than him. You know, I'm not saying

179
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: a more accomplished player, but just currently, who would you go,

180
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: Who's better Patrick Cantley or Jordan's speed? You know, people

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: in golf would pick Patrick Cantley. Now that's not the

182
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's something and you're seeing it right now

183
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: with the Golden State Warriors, championship, medal, championship, blood, that

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: ship matters. This guy knows how to win. Certain guys

185
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: just don't want to win, right like forever, like Scottie

186
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Scheffler for a while, Like it's pretty clear, like guy

187
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: just knows how to win. He was gonna get over

188
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: like Harold Varner. I love Harold Varner, not your you

189
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: know how to win. You get a one shot lead

190
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: going into Sunday and then I look at I'm you know,

191
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm home for Easter and I was outside. I checked,

192
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, the ESPN app for the PGA Tour app,

193
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: and he's part of like the first three holes, like

194
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: you gotta come out swinging and he just can't. And

195
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him. But I think the most relatable

196
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: thing to Jordan's speak why he's such a fan favorite.

197
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: And to me, he falls in the Rory camp with this.

198
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: He's a great human being. Like a great human being.

199
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: It's not one of those where you're like you remember

200
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: when Tiger was young, You're like this is is too good

201
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: to be true. Even phils like I don't know this

202
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: guy have a little shooter b gavinto him. Like no,

203
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: Jordan is legitimately a great person, like it's not even debatable.

204
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: And the video that went viral of him after he

205
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: finishes his round and is the clubhouse leader at under

206
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: goes by all the little kids and he says, listen, guys,

207
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I need to go put a little bit. I need

208
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: to just sit down for a second. I promised you

209
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: I will come back, and he ends up winning it

210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: an extra holes, does the press conference that goes back,

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: signs all the autographs, so he's relatable from his struggles.

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: His game honestly parallels now. His high end is elite

213
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: when he's one of the greatest, most accomplished young players ever,

214
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: but he hits shots that looked like me or you,

215
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: And then as a person, he's just pretty. And this

216
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: is what Rory really has. When you're a great person,

217
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: it's really hard to root against you, especially when you're talented.

218
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: And it was cool to see him win, and it's

219
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: golf is in better shape when Jordan's speed is up

220
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: there with the DJs, the Kepta's right, the shof Fleas,

221
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the Scotty Scheffler's, the I know d Shambo's injury, but

222
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: like that crew got you need Jordan's speed in that

223
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: group and he's won now back to back years with

224
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: the W Like that's hard to do. I mean, that's

225
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: that's really difficult. So it's it's good to see him

226
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: back in the winner circle. The match, you know, was

227
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: ultimately the started with Phil and Tiger, right they were

228
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: business partners in this ven sure, and obviously the first

229
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: two was Phil verse Tiger, the second one was Phil,

230
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and I think it was Brady verse Tiger and Peyton

231
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: and that that was really cool. And then it kind

232
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: of got a little weird with like Phil because Tiger

233
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: got injured, Barkley, Steph and uh, I forget was it

234
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: anikast Hornston, I forget the last member of that one,

235
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: And I didn't think that one was as good. Steph

236
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: struggled in that one. Phil never shut up. And then

237
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Phil did the one with Brady, d Shambo and Rogers,

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: which wasn't bad to me. The coolest part about that

239
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: was watching that course in Montana, just because most of

240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: us will never play that course in Montana and on television.

241
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: It was awesome. At the time. D Shambo was a

242
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: really big deal. It just worked and it popped. But

243
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: always in these things, like Phil has obviously been the

244
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: consistent but there's been a pro So there's an element like,

245
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: even if you claim to be a five handicapper and

246
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: eight handicap, once the cameras are on and the pressure

247
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: is on, you're gonna hit some terrible shots. Tom Brady

248
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: spends most of his time playing football in practicing football.

249
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: He's not a very good golfer, and there's nothing wrong

250
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: with that. Peyton Manning wasn't very good golfer. Aaron Rodgers okay,

251
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: but not a great golfer. Patrick Mahomes, I don't know

252
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: much about his game. I don't think he's a great golfer.

253
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen I know for a fact because I watched

254
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: him a little bit of pebble beach is not very good.

255
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: I think he's just kind of getting into it. So

256
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: what I wonder the star power genius, biggest sport in America, NFL,

257
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: biggest stars in America, Tom Brady, right, Aaron Rodgers, these

258
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: guys are Matt Patrick Mahomes, these guys are huge. Josh

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: Allen has kind of stepped into that realm over the

260
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: last twelve months, but major star power. What I'm gonna

261
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: be interested is the golf gonna be so bad that

262
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hard watch. I think you can

263
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: make up for that with banter. But it's on TNT

264
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: and so it's not like Brady and these guys are

265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: gonna be swearing at each other, you know. I think

266
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: once you get the camera element, I don't know how

267
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: true and real these guys will be. I think they'll

268
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: be banter and a little ship talking the old guys

269
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: versus the young guys. But it's not like it's on

270
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: HBL or Netflix, where it's unfiltered. And even if it

271
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: was Brady's brand and you know, Patrick Mahomes brand, they

272
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: would they were be a line in the sand. They

273
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't talk like me, you know, and be swearing every

274
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: other line. Right. Ultimately, if Tiger the cameras weren't on,

275
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: he'd be dropping f bombs. Like It's like, Coach K,

276
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Coach K. You put a camera on him, He's perfect,

277
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: You fucking take the camera off. It's f for what

278
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: every other sentence, which is what I like. I like

279
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: raw and real, But you're not gonna get that. So

280
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: this content is made for me. The more and more

281
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: I've had to let it marinate and think about it,

282
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how good it's gonna be, because I

283
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: don't think the golf is gonna be that great, So

284
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very dependent on them. Their bands are

285
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: going back and forth, and you know, I think that

286
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: can be very hit or missed because also for these guys,

287
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: it's hard for them just to be loose and not

288
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: play terribly like most of us, if you're just you know, anything,

289
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: but like a scratch golfer, you kind of gotta focus

290
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: or your golf game can just go to ship and

291
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: then you're trying to put on for the cameras. Like

292
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. Don't get you wrong. I'm watching,

293
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just got a red flagged

294
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. Phil and Tiger committed to the

295
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: U s Open. I asked Sobel about it. Ultimately I've

296
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: come around. I think Tiger is gonna play all four

297
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: majors Phil as Sobel says, who has any clue? You know?

298
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: I hope Phil comes back. I mean, he's the defending

299
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: champion at the PGA Championship here in less than a month.

300
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Who knows. And then last but not least, John Daily Jr.

301
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: John Daily the second whatever, John Daly's son goes by,

302
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: plays golf at Arkansas, has signed an n i L

303
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: deal with Hooters, and it really is the perfect brand endorsement. Obviously,

304
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: John Daly is known for being a Hooters guy, and

305
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: it just it fits perfect right he goes to Hooters

306
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: during Augusta and sits there. But I thought John Daily

307
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: the second quote, was doing this first n I L

308
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: deal with Hooters. I've seen my father's great relationship with

309
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Hooters over the and I am proud to con continue

310
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: my family's association with the iconic brand. I'm I've seen

311
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: my father's great relationship with Hooters. That is awesome. I

312
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: mean that is If that doesn't make you smile watching

313
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: the two dailies with two Hooters chicks with golf clubs

314
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: on a golf course like that, some some n I

315
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: L deals, Like does this really makes sense? Where we

316
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: just funneling these guys money and other ones? You're like, yeah,

317
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: this fits, this works now, I don't obviously you're playing

318
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: in the SEC division one golfer. He's a good player.

319
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I hope he becomes a pro one day.

320
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: You would say he's gonna have all the resources and

321
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: ability to get there. It's obviously very hard. It's never

322
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: been more difficult. But I would imagine that j Monahan, Peach,

323
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: people on the PGA Tour would love, not like I repeat,

324
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: love for John Dailey, the second Um, to be a

325
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: member of the PGA Tour one day and just be

326
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: a contribut you know, just in tournaments like he would

327
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: be a draw. That would mean his dad would be

328
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, just more involved out and about uh. I

329
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: mean he already kind of is, but really like be there,

330
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: get them to events that that that would be really cool.

331
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: So the Daily, the Daily brand and the Hooters brand

332
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: somethings just makes sense. And that's one of those that

Speaker 1: of but he won. Uh. Here with Jason Sobel of

00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Dude is Mr Golf as I call him? What is up? Sobel?

371
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm doing good, John. I'm still sort

372
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: of amazed, Like you said, kind of miraculous for Jordan's speed.

373
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: I think it was just it was one of those where,

374
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: like you know of the Anchorman quote, like I'm not

375
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: even mad, I'm just sort of amazed. It's kind of

376
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: weird how that one happened. I had a some uh

377
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: suspicious activity on my debit card last week, so I

378
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: had to cancel it so I couldn't put any money

379
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: into my gambling account because you know, I like Harold

380
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: Varner and I like Shane Lowry, and I was I

381
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be so angry they were in the last group.

382
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I actually felt good when they felt when he hit

383
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: it in the water on fourteen, I was like, I

384
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: don't want him to win without me being a part

385
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: of it. You know, it's usually a suspicious activity if

386
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: you're betting on Harold on the card company calls you

387
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: and said, are you sure it was this? Really you?

388
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: So let's start with those two guys. I mean, you know,

389
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: Harold Varner, the win equity is still a thing, but

390
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: he is right there. And you know, Shane Lowry is

391
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: a more, much more accomplished player, a little bit of

392
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: a freaky deal on whole fourteen, I'd say, but he didn't.

393
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: He just couldn't get it done on the back nine.

394
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: What stood out to you more about those two guys

395
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: not finishing the deal? Yeah, So, first of all, Shane Lowry,

396
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to call it bad luck,

397
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: because at some point you gotta hit a clutch shot

398
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: in a clutch situation. But Shane Lowry has played really

399
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: as well as anyone not named Scotty Cheffler over the

400
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: last two or three months and hasn't gotten a trophy

401
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: from it. I do think it's gonna happen. If I'm

402
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: making a futures bet right now, I think on my

403
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: sentence to you on the last week, But yeah, if

404
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm making a future is bet, Shane Lowry at Brookline

405
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: the country Club for the US Open in a few

406
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: months sounds like a really nice play right now, as

407
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: he's still riding hot, and I expect him to still

408
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: be playing well when we get there. I know a

409
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: lot of people look at the Open Championship. I think

410
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go really low if the weather

411
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: isn't just uh terrible at St. Andrews in July. But

412
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I think Shane Lowry plays his best golf when uh,

413
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: the scores are closer in relation to bar, when it's

414
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: not gonna be a birdie fest. And so the US

415
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: Open is a place I really like him. But again,

416
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: he's just gonna keep doing what he's doing. He's playing

417
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: really good golf right now. It just doesn't have much

418
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: to show for it in terms of victories and and

419
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: things like that. That said, for Harold Varner, look, he's

420
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: thirty one years old. He's been on the PGA Tour

421
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: for what six seven, eight years now, he's probably passed

422
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: the point where he can get a moral victory. But

423
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm a big proponent, John of any time a player

424
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: gets into contention, it's essentially a positive experien arians moving

425
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: forward for him. And so the fact that Harold got

426
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: to the back nine, was right there at or near

427
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: the top of the leader board and played decent golf.

428
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't play his best golf on the

429
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: back nine, but certainly didn't cough this one away, certainly

430
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: didn't uh played badly down the stretch. I think he

431
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: can build on that at some point. Yes, Harold Varner

432
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: has the talent to win on the PGA Tour. It's

433
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: going to happen at some point. He's one in Australia,

434
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: one in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, so we know

435
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: he can win. It's just a matter of making it

436
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: happen on PJA Tour. He's got himself into contention previously

437
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: and played really poorly down the back nine on Sunday afternoons.

438
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: Just the fact that he played well again. I know

439
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: he's probably not looking at it as a moral victory,

440
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: but I'll look at it as a moral victory for him.

441
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: I think moving forward, that's a good sign. I know

442
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: in football historically people think over time or extra innings,

443
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, or you know over time. In the NBA

444
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: kind of evens itself out overtime. Patrick Cantley has found himself,

445
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: Bryce and d Shamba last year in that epic match.

446
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: This year, Scottie Scheffler and him went at it and

447
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: then obviously he didn't go long. But Jordan's speeth, I mean,

448
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: that's a star study group of players right there. Uh,

449
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: a little unlucky on eighteen in the extra hole, but

450
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Jordan's speech gets it done. After the put on eighteen

451
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which was I mean, Jim Nance almost had

452
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: a hard deck, uh. I mean I would never have

453
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: imagined Jordan's speek winning the tournament. I saw. I heard

454
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: someone say his win probability to start the day was

455
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: really really small, like under a couple of percent, and

456
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: even at when he finished it was like eight percent

457
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: because there were so many guys left. Um, what what

458
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: were your thoughts on seeing him just all the melody

459
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: ground the winner? Yeah, I didn't see a winning percentage.

460
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: I believe he was twenty two one plus two thousand

461
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: live going into Sunday's final round. So I know some

462
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: people hit on that one, and that was a really

463
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: smart play there. Look, it's very interesting. Usually on Sunday

464
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: night Monday morning, after a PGA Tour event has concluded,

465
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: we look at the winner and go, man, if he

466
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: plays like that every week, he's gonna have a bunch

467
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: of wins this year. Now, of course, it never happens

468
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: that way, because if anyone could play the way they

469
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: did over four rounds for a victory, they'd beat Tiger

470
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: Woods and his products. Essentially what Scottie Chefler has been

471
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: doing lately. Hey, if he can play like this every week,

472
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: and he has been playing like that every week and

473
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: he's continuing to do it. But what we saw from

474
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Jordan was did he really win that golf tourna. I mean,

475
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: he didn't really have his A game. Now I look

476
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: at it as a good sign for Jordan moving forward.

477
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: The fact that we talked about the best players in

478
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: the world, which ones can win when they don't necessarily

479
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: have their best stuff. The fact that Jordan can win

480
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: with something less than his A game I think is

481
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: a positive sign moving forward. He looked a little astrock afterwards,

482
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: the interview on the eighteenth green where he's like, yeah,

483
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of stole one here, and he

484
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: knows that it's not like he played his best golf

485
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: and went out and blitz the field there. He kind

486
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: of just stepped in one and and came out with

487
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: the trophy. And that's okay. Look, sometimes you need one

488
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: of those to get going. I would say that for

489
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: the Jordan's speech supporters out there, the reason for optimism is, Hey,

490
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have his best stuff. He had some loose

491
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: shots on Sunday, that miss butt on Saturday on eight

492
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: team um, did not have nearly his A game, at

493
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: least on half the holes, and so you look at

494
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: that and say there's room for improvement. I love the fact,

495
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: if I'm a Jordan's speed fan, that he didn't have

496
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: his best stuff and he can still get better and

497
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: he's already won that tournament moving and can move forward

498
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: with some uh some momentum from that. If I'm a

499
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Jordan's speech detractor, if I'm not a speed fan and

500
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for him to play well, I say, look, okay,

501
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: he got lucky and he won one, but he's not

502
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that when some other big

503
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: boys are up there on the leaderboard. Whether that's sure

504
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: or not, I don't know. I will say this though,

505
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: John Jordan's speed continues to be the most relatable world

506
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: class golfer there is. You can look at him one

507
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: minute and say, oh man, that takeaway the pre shot.

508
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: There's eighteen to things going through his mind. That's just

509
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: like me. I do that on Sunday mornings with my buddies.

510
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I'm thinking before I'm about

511
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: to hit the ball. Uh he hits one wild here

512
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: wild there. Yeah, I've been there, done that, missed the short,

513
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, done that a million times now. The rest

514
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: of us don't tend to chip in for eagle all

515
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: the time like Jordan's speef did three times during the weekend,

516
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: but they're they're definitely times when Jordan's speef is more

517
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: relatable than the average golfer. I think we look at

518
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: John Rom. There's absolutely nothing about John Rom that's relatable

519
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: to you and I. We can't look at John Rom

520
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: go oh yeah, that's kind of like how I play

521
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: pretty much, you know, other than I smash a team

522
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: marker every once in a while. I have nothing in

523
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: common with John rom. I can look at Jordan's speeed

524
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, the good stuff, yeah, I can't relate

525
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: to that. That's just amazing. The bad stuff, Yeah, that

526
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: kind of looks like the rest of us, which is

527
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: just unfathomable that he can get away with doing that

528
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: sometimes and still win a golf tournament. John ram English

529
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: is a second language, and I'm pretty sure he has

530
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: more vocabulary words in English than myself. I mean, he

531
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: is well read into vision learning English by listening to

532
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Eminem and colleg which I absolutely smart move. Uh. One

533
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: thing I want to hit before we dive into the

534
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: Zurich is there was I guess news you know from

535
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: US outsiders. We see this and it's I guess we

536
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: expect Tiger to play now, but Phil and Tiger committed

537
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: to the US Open. Is that just logistics? Uh? Obviously

538
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: the PGA is now in front of the US Open.

539
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Any other buzz beat just being around when you were

540
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: at August, Like, do people expect Phil Nicholson to show

541
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: up at the pg Championship Because if he shows us

542
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the PGA that he's gonna play the U s Open,

543
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: you're I don't know. I wish everything about Phil right

544
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: now is we're completely in the dark. I've heard rumors.

545
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: I have heard rumors that he's in Montana right now.

546
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: He's grown a beard. He is, I'm dead serious about this. Yeah,

547
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: he's happy. Um. We had a APG who were player

548
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: on a radio show last week who essentially, like I

549
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: wasn't even asking him for Phil stuff. He just kind

550
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: of came out and said, Oh, yeah, I heard he's

551
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: in Montana. He's got a place there, grew a beard.

552
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: He's extremely happy. He's just living life, drinking coffee, hanging

553
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: out outside in the mountains. And isn't that what David lean? Yeah,

554
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: pretty much. I mean I expect like a a video

555
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: series from Phil Nicholson on YouTube coming up pretty soon.

556
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the next step is for

557
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: Phil in his professional life. If if he comes back

558
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: at Southern Hills, wouldn't totally shock me. If we don't

559
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: see him for the rest of the year and don't

560
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: even hear from him, wouldn't totally shocked me. I absolutely

561
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: no idea what to expect as far as Tiger. My

562
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: guess is that walking off Augusta and I think I

563
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: told you last week that I don't think I saw,

564
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: for we alsow Tiger limping around the golf course in

565
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: four days. I don't think I saw that limp worse

566
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: than when he went from the eighteenth Green on Sunday

567
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: afternoon to the clubhouse to sign the scorecard. I mean,

568
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: he could barely get there. You could tell. It was

569
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: just like all the emotion, all the energy, all the all,

570
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: all of what he put into the entire week was

571
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: just coming out at that point. It's like, Wow, this

572
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: really hurts my guesses at that time, in that moment,

573
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: someone said something about, Hey, there's a course with hills

574
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: in the name of it that's gonna host a major

575
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: championship next month. You want to go play. He's like, dude,

576
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I want to go lay down for a few days.

577
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: I need to relax. And so I don't think he

578
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: was in the right frame of mind to even think

579
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: about it at that point, which is totally fine. He

580
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: doesn't need to. As far as the two of them

581
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: applying to play in the US Open, it's just paperwork.

582
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if that's even them applying for it, John,

583
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's just essentially a secretary in the

584
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: office of their agencies, UH puts in the paperwork for

585
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: all of their players every single year, just so they

586
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: don't miss something. And that's probably been done for the

587
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: last twenty five years for each of them, just so hey,

588
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: it goes in, you know, we put it in the mail,

589
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: we email it, whatever it is, it goes in there.

590
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they've committed, it doesn't mean they're gonna play,

591
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: but it means at least that they have that option

592
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: moving forward. And so we'll see again. I would at

593
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: this point ventured to guess that we have a greater

594
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: chance of seeing Tiger Woods playing more major championship golf

595
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: this year than Phil Nicholson. But it'd be a great bet.

596
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the old runder from both of them, Yeah,

597
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: would It would have been nice to see you know,

598
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: maybe JT and Tiger at the Zurich, but that would

599
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: be getting greedy here. We're just happy to see him,

600
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, So diving into the Zurich. I didn't know this,

601
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: but reading your article today, it's only been around now

602
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: for what five This is the fifth year in existence

603
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: of seventeen and it didn't exist in twenty so Um,

604
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, just what what are your thoughts on events

605
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: like this to meet? They're kind of cool. I know

606
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: they don't have anywhere near the juice of of your

607
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: typical PGA Tour event. And obviously the field you know

608
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: you probably argued, is not great, but I enjoy just

609
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: kind of you can casually fall along enough to be

610
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: as locked in as like you would last week. What's

611
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: your what are your thoughts? And just the Zurich Classic.

612
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: The field's not bad, It's got a lot better. Um,

613
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: it's not my favorite week for betting purposes. I'll admit that.

614
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm working on all my preview content. I'm

615
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: breaking down the field, and so they're going, it's it's

616
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: really it's it's really more intangible than analytics this week.

617
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: And that's okay. Um. That said, I feel like the

618
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Zurich essentially saved itself. Is if this is just another

619
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: event on the schedule, just thrown in at the end

620
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: of April, where you know, it's kind of a lull

621
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: in between major championships. I don't know they necessarily get

622
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: the name recognition. I don't know that they get the

623
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: interest level from the fans out there, and so hey,

624
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: let's think outside the box. Let's make it different. I

625
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: don't want to see ten Zurich Classics on the schedule

626
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: every year, and hey, we've got all these different team

627
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: events and different gimmicky things out there. But it's kind

628
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: of cool. It's essentially the member guests, maybe not the

629
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: member guests, the member member for the p G A

630
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: tour where it's like, hey, let's get together, let's have

631
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: some fun. It's fun to watch guys having fun on

632
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: the golf course. And I think on on a regular basis,

633
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: when we're watching them play tournament golf, especially down the

634
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: stretch on a Sunday afternoon, these guys aren't having fun

635
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: because they're locked in. They're trying to win a golf turn.

636
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: We all understand that. This week, I think we can

637
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: watch guys having fun on the golf course the same way.

638
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: If you and I went and played two other people

639
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: in the match, we we'd be out there rooting for

640
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: each other, fist bumping, having a good time, reading puts

641
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: with each other. And it's fun to see these guys

642
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: in that element. I I'd like to see a little

643
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: bit more. I almost feel like the Zora could go

644
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: all in instead of just two rounds of best ball,

645
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: two rounds of alternate shot. I know people have talked

646
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: about throwing scramble in there, throw in a different format.

647
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: I'd be all in on that. Hey, why not flight them?

648
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: I had this idea on my radio show yesterday, and

649
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: it's half serious, half joking. But you've got eighty teams

650
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: in there. What if you did ten teams of our

651
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: ten flights of eight teams, and one team gets out

652
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: of each flight essentially a sure yeah, maybe not match play,

653
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: but you essentially assure yourselves of at least one of

654
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: those big name teams getting out, one of the second

655
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: tier ones one of the third tier. But you also

656
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: have a team that maybe isn't doing too well. Two

657
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: players who paired up together. Maybe it's rookies, maybe it's

658
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: journeyman guys who only have partial status, but they make

659
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: it to the weekend. This can be a life changing

660
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: experience for them if they can win together. So I

661
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: don't know, Again, it's it's a half serious, half jokeing idea,

662
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Something a little bit different. If

663
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna go all in on the team aspect, let's

664
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: really go all in and die. I don't know that

665
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: at all. And you wrote that Cam Smith when he

666
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: he was the in two thousands seventeen, his team one

667
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: that counts as a win that gets you in all

668
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: the major So he's into AUGUSTA in the group doesn't

669
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: get you into it does? Does it get you into

670
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: the or not gets you the exemption? Probably not? Not really.

671
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: It helps you with the Fenix cup points, and that

672
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: can help you with the other majors. I mean, it's

673
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: not necessarily a win in your inside. It's interesting, John,

674
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: I've I've always thought of the last few years that

675
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: this would be a good spot to target a couple

676
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: of players that haven't one maybe a little bit more motivated. Look,

677
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good food, a lot of good

678
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: place to go drinking in New Orleans. A team of

679
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: two guys who are fully exampt to say, hey, let's

680
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: just go have a great week, sort of like the

681
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: member guest. You know, you get out there with your buddy,

682
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's about golf. We want to win,

683
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: but we're also gonna have a great time this week

684
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: off the golf course. I would think that maybe a

685
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: couple of guys would look at it with a little

686
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: more serious tone and say, hey, let's work together, let's

687
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: take this seriously. Let's really focus on the golf instead

688
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: of going out to some fancy dinner and getting oysters

689
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: every night. Maybe they have a better chance. But again,

690
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: of the eight players the four teams that have won

691
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: since Cameron Smith in that first year is the only

692
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: one who got his first PG Tour victory. Well, before

693
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: we get into the guys you like and the guys

694
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: I like, Zala, Torus and Riley would fit fit under that.

695
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: I know you wrote about them, but they kind of

696
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: stood out to me on the betting card of just

697
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know you short and leashman Smith. I

698
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: can see them having a good time, right, They're gonna

699
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: enjoy themselves. Where Zala, Trus and Riley you know this

700
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: is this means something to them, right, trying to win

701
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: this thing, get the FedEx point, especially Davis Riley. Yeah,

702
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean Riley's got that playoff loss in Tampa and

703
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: so he should be as short of keeping his PGA

704
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: Tour cards next year. So there's not a whole lot

705
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: of worry there. But at some point these guys may

706
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: look at each other and go, look, we've known each

707
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: other a long time. We've played a lot of golf together.

708
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: Let's go get that first win together and maybe kind

709
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: of start vaulting our way up the list a little bit,

710
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: and let's, you know, let's use this as a jumping

711
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: off point to something even better in our careers. And again,

712
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked out that way in the last few years,

713
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: so uh, the theory still uh is still open as

714
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: to whether that's a viable theory or not. But I

715
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: would think that the guys that taken a little more

716
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: bit more seriously, and also the guys have some chemistry.

717
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at this week. And I mentioned

718
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: that earlier John, More so than analytics, I'm looking at

719
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: intangibles this week. The guys who have since October said, man,

720
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: six months from now, me and you New Orleans gonna

721
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: be awesome. I can't wait. We're gonna have so much fun.

722
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: Those are the guys I'm looking for, as opposed to well,

723
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: we have the same agent and he put us together

724
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, we'll see what happens. Or

725
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: guys who called the tournaments and hey, I want to play,

726
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: do you have anyone that needs somebody? And yeah, Hey,

727
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: go meet him on the first team Tuesday morning, and

728
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: you guys can you know, go from there and try

729
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: to figure something out. I want the guys that have

730
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: that existing friendship, the guys that really want to play together.

731
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Is that why your pick is Keegan and Brennan Steel.

732
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: That's a good part of it. Yeah, these guys play

733
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: practice rounds together every single week. They're on the p

734
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: g A too, are really good friends. Uh, you know,

735
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: they text each other all the time. They have similar

736
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: interests and so, uh, that's part of it. And then

737
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: the analytics, which is they're two of the best drivers

738
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: in the golf ball on the p g A Tour,

739
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: and so I think they'll give themselves birdie chances in

740
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: the best ball format, and then we tend to overlook

741
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: alter and shop. We'll get best balling up, all right, man,

742
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: lots of birdies, go shoot sixty three, make nine birdies

743
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the twosome and you guys are all set. What we've

744
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: seen over last few years is then in the second

745
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: and fourth rounds when you go alternate shot, those teams

746
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have that chemistry. I think that Bradley and Steel,

747
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: first of all, have played this event in the past,

748
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: so they know each other's games. Uh, just you know,

749
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: in this competition, not necessarily just playing practice rounds together.

750
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: But also there's similar types of players, Like I said,

751
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: really good drivers of the golf ball, pretty good iron players,

752
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: Keegan struggles on the greens a little bit. But they

753
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: have similar games, and I think similar games worked for

754
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: the alternate shot format. So I think that's a nice

755
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: play right there. Well, it's kind of the team I

756
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: like is in a similar vein. Again, you probably know

757
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: their relationship better me, but just follow him on social media.

758
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: It feels like Max Holm and Taylor Gooch are pretty

759
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: good buddies. And you know, obviously his wife just actually

760
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: had a birthday yesterday. He sending him wine like they

761
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: had lived in the same area. The games matching up,

762
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: you probably could speak on that better than me, because

763
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: the alternate shot is a big deal, right, I mean,

764
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna play that twice in four days. But from

765
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: a relationship standpoint at to pretty damn good players to um,

766
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sprinkle someone yours And what do you think

767
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: about that grouping? Yeah? I like them a lot too.

768
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,959
Speaker 1: I you know, playing a lot of DFS lineups this week,

769
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: that's one that I've got in most of my lineup

770
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: so far. And there's sort of the opposite of, Hey,

771
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: let's take two guys who haven't one and maybe they're motivated.

772
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: Homer and and Uh and Goocha both won already early

773
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: in the fall part of this season, and so there's

774
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: sort of just nothing to lose attitude. They're both top

775
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: fifty in the world. They're both playing well this year. Uh.

776
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: You know, if they have a great week, awesome like

777
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: finex cup points, we get some money and we have

778
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: a great time together. If they don't play well, it's like, okay, well,

779
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: no big deal. And so there's literally no pressure on

780
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: a couple of guys like that. And granted, there are

781
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of teams that sort of fit that

782
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: no pressure type um strategy going into this thing. But

783
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: I do like those guys a lot. Yeah, I think

784
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: they fit each other's Do you think Mark how might

785
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: give Hovlan the snake eye when he floods a chip here?

786
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, and they're they're in the mix there on

787
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. When Holand floods a chip and

788
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: then Colin's got a thirty footer that he leaves six

789
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: feet short. That might not be the best that's said. Yeah,

790
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: well we're talking about theories, how about this theory? And

791
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: again I'm gonna need someone who's way better at nath

792
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: and logic and analytics to figure this out for me.

793
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: But the way I've sort of figured it is, let's

794
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: say Colin Morricawa is six percent better than the field

795
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: average over the course of the year, and we're talking

796
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: like strokes gain total and I don't know if six

797
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: percent is the right number not, but whatever it might be. Well,

798
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: Victor Hoblin is about five and a half percent better

799
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: than the field average. Well, you would think that it's

800
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: more difficult for two guys who are basically average. And

801
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't mean that that you know they're not good players.

802
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean literally, they're the average PTA Tour player, which

803
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: isn't a bad thing to be out there. But two

804
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: guys who are average playing together against two guys who

805
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: are well above average, I think it's probably tougher to

806
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: be than one average player trying to be one above

807
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: average player. And again, I need someone who's way better

808
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: at math to explain that to me than I can

809
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: figure out myself. But it just seems to have some

810
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: logic to it that you know, it's going to be

811
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: tougher for you know, two guys who are you know,

812
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: sort of fifty seventh on the list this week that

813
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: are kind of a little bit further down. We not

814
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: only have to beat Colin, we've gotta be picked or two.

815
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: I think that's harder for those two as opposed to well,

816
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: it's just me against this one guy. I can go

817
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: beat to him on you know, any one given week.

818
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: Here's what I know. If they're both having above average

819
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: weeks for their relative to them, they could kick acid

820
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: this thing. I mean saying the same thing about Shoffly

821
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: and can't lay too and and maybe they're a little

822
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: bit more motivated Shotly other than the gold medal has on.

823
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: What's up? I just I don't know, Yeah, I don't know.

824
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: Every time I talked to players who play with him,

825
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: I've got a few players who have told I just

826
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: did an hour long interview show Charlie Hoffman yesterday and

827
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna run on Serious x ms PGA Tour channel

828
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: next week. And Hoffman says he plays a lot of

829
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: um off tournament week golf with Xander Shaffley, goes I

830
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: love playing with Xander because he's got the energy, the

831
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: enthusiasm in the game. He's like, I can try to

832
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: measure my game up to what I think is one

833
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: of the best players in the world. I've had multiple

834
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: players tell me this over the last few years. They

835
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: love playing Xander because they think he is so good

836
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: that if I can go play a money game with

837
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: him on a Tuesday when we're back at home and

838
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: at least kind of hold with him, kind of hang

839
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: with him throughout the day, I know that my game

840
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: is ready to go back on tour because he's that good.

841
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: And so for all these testimonials from players about Xander's game,

842
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: um for him to not win other than the Olympic

843
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: gold medal, and I'm not I don't mean to sort

844
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: of push, but yeah, he hasn't went an official PGA

845
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: Tour event. I believe Cappelua in twenty nineteen and so

846
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: at some big deal he's really really remember I remember

847
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: Phil talking about that when he won the PGA Championship.

848
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: How during COVID they played together and feels like, I

849
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know how I'm gonna last if this is the

850
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: cream of the crop out here, and it kind of

851
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: motivated him because Xander was kicking his ass every day,

852
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, And and I've gambled on him a couple

853
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: of times. He's been terrible. That that was the big

854
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: group of Xander Who's Charlie haff Been, Phil Nicholson, Brendan

855
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: Steele would play with them a lot. And they've got

856
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: a whole group of guys in Southern California who get

857
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: together in the off season and off weeks, and all

858
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: all of them would just talk about how good Xander is.

859
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: And so at some point that's got to translate, and

860
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: it has with the course of his career. Um. I

861
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: don't mean to say that he hasn't lived up to expectations,

862
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: but at some point it's gonna translate into more victories

863
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, so I'll get you out here. I

864
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: looked today the PJA Championship is we're recording this on

865
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: Tuesdays a month away, so we are we're getting the

866
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: major season. Baby, let's uh's read this, bad boy up.

867
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. Southern Hills looks so pure.

868
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: I saw some photos on social media today. It's funny.

869
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: I've I've got a few guys picked out for the

870
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: US Open in June. I've got some guys picked out

871
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: for the Open Championship in July. I'm still not quite

872
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: there for next month, though I've gotten ahead of myself.

873
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: I need to figure out who's gonna play their best

874
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: at PGA Championship next This play is gonna be hard.

875
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a typical p GA where

876
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's hard, but certainly not impossible. We're gonna

877
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: see some scores out there. My guessing something the mid

878
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: teens under par is gonna win. But again, sometimes weather

879
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: dictates and stuff. Sometimes green speeds get up there, sometimes

880
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: gets a little baked out. We'll see what happens. Being

881
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: a little easier in Kiwa. Okay, have a good week,

882
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to you soon. Thanks, I appreciate it. Okay,

883
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: let's get to the mail bag at go lopod is

884
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: the Instagram account. We like separating it because I do you. Uh.

885
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: Obviously people d M my regular account, which you can do,

886
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: but if you do golf specific stuff, it's easier for

887
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: me to communicate with you and obviously get your stuff

888
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: read here on the show on the golopods Instagram account.

889
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: So let's start with uh with Connor, Hey, John love

890
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: the show. What do you think of golfers like Bohustler,

891
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: Matt Wolf, Doug gimm who are in their mid twenties

892
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: and can't seem to get over the hump? Well, they

893
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: can continue to be average until they are off the tour.

894
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: Where do you think the tour is so tough right

895
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: now that it takes a few years to even sniff competing? Well,

896
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: I think all these guys fall under a similar category

897
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: that they were all blue chip, elite college guys, right, Wolf,

898
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: him and Hovelin were like you know, DeVante Smith and uh,

899
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, I mean they were blue chippers at Oklahoma State, which,

900
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: depending on the years, the number one program in the

901
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: count tree. And Hustler and Jim I'm I'm pretty sure

902
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: Jim they both went to Texas. So these guys cream

903
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: of the crop. But it shows you how difficult it is, right,

904
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it is very very hard. Now of the

905
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: guys playing well, it feels like bow Hustler is the

906
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: best of this group right now. Now. Wolf when he

907
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: first got to the tour, dominated like was getting top five,

908
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: was in the mixing majors, almost beat De Shambo, I

909
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: mean finished runner up in the US Open, finished runner up.

910
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure at the one more Cow and one

911
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: at Harding Park he almost beat what was it the

912
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: the not the waste management but the w M or something.

913
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the sponsor, but I just

914
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: think it's very, very hard, you know. And if you

915
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: can just stay on tour for a long time, that's

916
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: a huge win. You can make a lot of money.

917
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Look at some of the guys like Pat Perez been

918
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: on tour for like twenty years just banking cash. Lee him.

919
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: Any advice for getting better other than playing constantly, Well,

920
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: I was at home at Easter and my little brother

921
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: got labor surgery, so he hasn't been able to play

922
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: in three or four months, and when right before he

923
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: got it, he was down to basically almost a scratch.

924
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: He lives on a country club, and as someone who

925
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: may or may not have just joined one, you just

926
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: play more golf, you get better. Now. It depends where

927
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: you're starting right, Like to me, I was shooting like

928
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: low eighties, high seventies. Well, if I play more, I

929
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: should be able to dial in to get to the

930
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: mid to low seventies. That's what he did. That's what

931
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: any good player does. The only way you can get

932
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: better at something is to do it. It's the only

933
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: way you have to do it. It's the way you

934
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: learn is through experience. And in golf, whether you practice,

935
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: whether you play, but being with a golf club in

936
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: your hand is the way you improve. So my advice

937
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: would just be, uh, to do it? Am I wrong?

938
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: Or didn't you call Warner this weekend? Varner this weekend?

939
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: I did, but he didn't get it done. I love

940
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: JT and know you have a lot of confidence in him.

941
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: Which major do you think he has a chance to

942
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: actually win this year? Well? I loved him at the

943
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: Masters and obviously that first round killed him. To me,

944
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: he is an incredible shot maker. And looking at the

945
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: three remaining majors right Southern Hills, Uh, the US Open

946
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: and the Open. Well, let's just assume that the wind

947
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: pumps at St. Andrew's, Well, he has Bones on his bag.

948
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: Who's been to St Andrew's a million times? Right? Who

949
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: has experienced I don't know Phil win at St. Andrew's.

950
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: Off top of my head, I'd say no, but Bones

951
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: is gonna know that place. Obviously JT has played there before.

952
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: But as you've seen, like a year ago when he

953
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: won the Players, uh this year at the Players during

954
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: that crazy weather, he had him and Bubba had the

955
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: lowest rounds. You know why because he's an artist. So

956
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: to me that if I had to bet on him

957
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: to win one of the remaining ones, it would be

958
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: the Open Championship at St. Andrew's. He'll be there with Tiger, right,

959
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: Tiger loves it now. I don't know if Tiger is

960
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna give him as many tips as Augusta. But I

961
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: like j T at the at the Open, which I

962
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: like calling the British Open, but you know, it feels

963
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: like it's changed. I always called it the British Open,

964
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: not any way pro golf related. But I broke a

965
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: hundred today for the first time ever in him pumped

966
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: officially on the break, officially on the break, ninety grind.

967
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: Congratulations man. You know the one thing cool about golf

968
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: is as you get older, right, and if you played

969
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: sports growing up, you just it's hard to compete, right,

970
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: You're not gonna you know, I'm thirty seven, I'm not

971
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: playing pick up basketball. I don't want to tear my achilles.

972
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't play football. Anymore, like what I don't. I'm

973
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: not gonna play slow pitch softball. That's Golf is your

974
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: one area where you kind of compete, and if you

975
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: get good, you compete against others. If you're just trying

976
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: to learn, you compete against yourself. It's healthy to have that.

977
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer there's health in competition. I mean,

978
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: it's not even if I'm a big believer. It's a

979
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: fucking fact, right, So being able to compete is something

980
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: that just is good for you. So congratulations, huge fan.

981
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: My question is how do taxes work for golfers? Do

982
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: they get tax based on the state they want, uh

983
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: that they win their money in? Or does it or

984
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: how does it work? Not sure if you've answered this yet,

985
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: but figured i'd give it a shot. I would assume.

986
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: I think the reason why a lot of these guys

987
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: live in tax haven states like Texas and Florida in

988
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: Vegas is because the large percentage of their money comes

989
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: from sponsors. Well, the sponsors you put your business entity.

990
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: Like if I'm more a cow when I live in Vegas,

991
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: or I'm justin Thomas and I live in Florida, you

992
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: pay me through that's my home residence. But if I

993
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: win Pebble Beach, you're getting tax California. Right. It's like

994
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: NFL players, Right. If I played for the Dallas Cowboys

995
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: eight or nine now seventeen games, I get taxed playing

996
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: at Dallas, But when I play Philly, I get PA taxes.

997
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: When I play the New York Giants, I get New

998
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: York taxas. If I play the forty Niners in or

999
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: the Rams in California, I get tax that gay check

1000
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: in California. It's no different. I mean, it's like this

1001
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: for me that I've been working with my accountant. If

1002
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: in the next you know, I moved to Arizona. Uh,

1003
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: the prices in Arizona, man, are still outrageous. Holy shit.

1004
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: And I'm from northern California and they're crazy. But you know,

1005
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: when a little economic chaos happens, And again I don't

1006
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: roof for recessions, but you know, I do like getting

1007
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: stuff in a little cheaper prices that the taxes. If

1008
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: you do business in a certain state, even in my situation,

1009
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: you get taxed by that state. So that that's how

1010
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine most of these guys where they saved

1011
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: their money is through the sponsors because if you win, right,

1012
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: if you win the Masters, that check is taxed. It's

1013
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: why it's such a great you know, uh, Cam Smith

1014
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: winning the players no state income tax boom. Do you

1015
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: think they will allow Phil to play in the US Open?

1016
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: I do? Uh? I do, because if he's suspended by

1017
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, the PGA Tour does not run the

1018
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: US Open. The U s Opens run by the U

1019
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: s g A. So unless the U s g A

1020
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: didn't want him there, which I'm not sure why they'd care,

1021
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine he'd be there. Keep hearing you say

1022
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: that Ricky's biggest issue is driving distance. He actually ranks

1023
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: top fifteen on tour in average driving distance. This makes

1024
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: it even crazier that he's struggling so mightily. So let's

1025
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: read the top fifteen guys. Cam Champ three, that's that's bombs.

1026
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy three twenty, Cam Young three eighteen, Jonathan Vegas

1027
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: three seventeen, Wyndham Clark three seventeen, Matt Woolf three sixteen,

1028
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: Hagey John Rams and Ricky's three thirteen. That's crazy. You know.

1029
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: The irony is that I just randomly said that because

1030
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel Ricky's that long. I don't even watch

1031
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: Ricky play. Who does. He's not on television anymore. He's

1032
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: not in the mix for any of these tournaments. He's

1033
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: not a primetime player anymore, so he's not in the

1034
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: feature groups in any tournament that matters. It's kind of crazy.

1035
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild that Ricky's hitting it that far, because

1036
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: in his hey day, if he could hit it that

1037
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: far and he was putting, he'd still be a good player.

1038
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: Jordan's speet doesn't hit that far. Colin Moore cow doesn't

1039
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: hit that far. Short game, man, short game. You wanna

1040
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: get good at golf, make putts and get up and down,

1041
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: get good in the bunker and have a great day.

1042
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: Enjoy if you play golf the rest of the week,

1043
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: go low, go really low. Make some birdies. You know,

1044
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 1: if you make about you make a double smile. Next hole,

1045
00:52:40,320 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: knocking stiff, hit some bombs. Go low. Piece the volume
