23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: wanted to get a little golf in this week, literally

24
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: on the course. I think I'm planning on going to

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the range sometime later this week, but we push back

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: Go Low because of the owner's meetings and some of

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: the stories flying out of there about Christmas games and

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: changing the kickoff rule that I will't able to do

29
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: it till today, but I'm glad I did because Dylan Dascher,

30
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: who covers golf I think for golf dot com, tweeted

31
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: out something today of Peter Malnatty, who just won last

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: week and who's on the player's board with Tiger and

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: can't lay and all those guys, and I thought he

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: gave the best answer I've heard for anyone discussing the

35
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: current state of golf with live and the contracts and

36
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. So I'll play that and we'll

37
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: react to that. And then just I watched Full Swing.

38
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: A couple thoughts when it comes to full swing that

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: jumped out to me, where have all the American star

40
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: power gone? Leaving Scottie Scheffler on an island and then

41
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple just quick Masters plays. In terms of the

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: favorites and guys, I like a couple of weeks out

43
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: because if you're listening to this on Thursday, we're two

44
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: weeks away from round one at Augusta National, so it's

45
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: hard to beat that. And I love I love the Masters,

46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: so I wanted to I wanted to dive into some

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: things that I've been stirring on in my little little

48

72
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,640

76
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: I didn't pull the trigger, but I texted a buddy,

77
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, live betting right now. And he was

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: one behind at the time, Cameron Young was basically seven

79
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: to one. Now he's a Ryder cupper. He's an elite talent,

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: but he's never won on the PGA Tour. I was like,

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: this is pretty good value. Do I trust Keith Mitchell

82
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: or Malnotty or some of these other guys that were

83
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: right up at Brendan Todd. I was like, this is

84
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Cameron Young's time. I didn't pull the trigger, But sometime

85
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: when you don't make a bet, then you watch it

86
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: even closer when the event's going on. It's god, I

87
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: wish I would have, and I thought Cam Young was

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna win, and then Peter Malnatty, who I'd be honest,

89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able, and I would say I'm a

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: pretty high end golf consumer. I couldn't have picked out

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: of a lineup before two months ago. And the only

92
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: reason it started two months ago. He's on the Player

93
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Advisory Board. So I've seen him give some talks and

94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: interviewed over the last several months about all this merger talk.

95
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: But he won, and he won for the first time

96
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: in nine years. In any time you kind of get

97
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: a random guy win, especially when I mean he wasn't

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: in the same group, but going head to head with

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: Cam Young, who's viewed as easily one of the better

100
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: more talented younger American players. It was a really big

101
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: deal for him. The valspar clearly a pretty tough course.

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you watched any of

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: that last weekend viewership says not many people did. But

104
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: it's fucking tight. You can't spread it all over. It's

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: a high level golf tournament. I mean, twelve underwon it.

106
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: There were only one other guy at double digit under,

107
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: so a lot of single digits, which is very rare

108
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: now on the PGA Tour. But he became very, very emotional.

109
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: He just started crying. He had his kids and his

110
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: wife was standing the right there. It was powerful. I mean,

111
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: if you're a human, it was hard not to get

112
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: choked up. If you watched it live or even if

113
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: you saw the replay. The PJ Tour and everything tweeted

114
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: it out, it was It's a cool moment. It's what

115
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour has still that live just cannot provide.

116
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: You just would never get that, it's not even possible.

117
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: And he gave some comments because he's playing this week

118
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: about the current state, and I thought it really resonated

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: with me and I wanted to play that before I

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: give some thoughts on what he said.

121
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, do you

122
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: remember we can all probably remember when we were kids,

123
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: and we were all kids at different times, but the

124
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 3: things that moved us that we that we watched that Like,

125
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: I remember watching Jordan in the ninety seven Balls, I

126
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: remember watching Tiger in the two thousand Masters. I didn't

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: care one iota what Jordan's contract was. I didn't care

128
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: one iota what the winner's check at that US Open was.

129
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: And I think people are sick of that, you know,

130
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: I think I think people are just sick of the

131
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: narrative and golf being about you know, contracts on live

132
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: purses on the tour, guaranteed comp on the tour, what

133
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: would like. I think people are so sick of that.

134
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: They want to see sport. They want to see they

135
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: want to see people who are the best in the

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: world at what they do, do it at a high

137
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: level and celebrate that, celebrate the athleticism, celebrate the achievement.

138
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: And and you know, obviously this is a business, and

139
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 3: you know, to the to the top players who drive

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: a lot of the value in this business, we've got

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: to we've got to compensate them fairly. We've got to

142
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: make that happen. But I think we're doing that and

143
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: above and beyond and the narrative, the storylines, the conversation

144
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: needs to come back to the product on the course

145
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: and what we do. And I think, you know, for me,

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: that was like I I just I just feel like

147
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: no kid dreamed when they're watching Jordan dreamed of having

148
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: his salary. They didn't care about that. They dreamed of

149
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: being in that moment, hitting that shot. And I think

150
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: that's what our fans care about too, and that's what

151
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: they want to see. So I hope, you know, those

152
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: those tears that I was crying on on that eighteenth

153
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: Green had nothing to do with you know, the my

154
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: share that what wasn't an eight point four million dollars

155
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: person last week. My tears had nothing to do with

156
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: my share that I'm gonna enjoy it, We're gonna use

157
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: it to a lot of good in this world. But

158
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: that had nothing to do with that. And I don't

159
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: think our fans care about that either. So I hope

160
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: that connected with some people, and you know, I hope

161
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: that that can be. I do think everyone out here

162
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: who plays and competes would agree with me on that.

163
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: I just hope that can be. You know, the story

164
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: that we tell can come back to the best athletes

165
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: in the world competing on the biggest stage in the

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: world and doing it, you know, to show off this

167
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: amazing skill that we have that can be so entertaining

168
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: for people. I want that to be our story.

169
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: I think one thing he hit on that is works.

170
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: Let's use football as an example. Every young guy right now,

171
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: who is you know? They say at about eight years

172
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: old you become That's when your sports fandom is kind

173
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: of crystallized. And the teams that you like around eight

174
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: nine years old are usually the teams you like the

175
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: rest of your life. And when I was a kid

176
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: right in the mid nineties in elementary school, you'd go

177
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: to recess and you would play either you know, whiffle

178
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: ball or flag football. Everyone was emulating Ken Griffy junior

179
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds, trying to be Jerry Rice or Brett Farv

180
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: And you never discussed, like, you know, Brett Farve is

181
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: making five ten million dollars a year, where Barry Bond

182
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: signed a seven year, fifty million dollar contract. You knew

183
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: professional athletes to make a lot of money, but you

184
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: wanted to be cool like them as a player, Like

185
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: in Little League, I tried to bat like Jay Buhner. Right,

186
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: every kid growing up in the peak of his powers

187
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: tried to be like Brett Farvv why he was cool.

188
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: Anyone who started playing golf at a younger age went

189
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: to the putting green and said, whether it was a

190
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: putting contest with your buddy, with your dad, or by yourself,

191
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: this is to win the Masters, this is to win

192
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: the US Open. And when you're saying that as a kid,

193
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: it's never about this is to win four million dollars. Right,

194
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: if I make the NFL, I'm going to become a millionaire.

195
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't process in your brain like that. Now, as

196
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: you get older, you start thinking about those elements. But

197
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: the reason you fall in love with sports. Every kid

198
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: over the last decade who has shot long three pointers

199
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: because of Steph Curry in the gym, in fifth grade basketball,

200
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: in eighth grade basketball, hell, in high school basketball, is

201
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: not talking about hitting that three and then going I

202
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: want to be worth four hundred million dollars like Steph Curry.

203
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: You just want to hit the three like him and

204
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: emulate it because it's incredible, it's awesome. It's what It's like,

205
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: it's really cool. And I think the one thing with football,

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: even when you watch Patrick Mahomes and I'm thirty nine,

207
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm a businessman. I talk about money all the time.

208
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: You never think when you're watching Patrick Mahomes, go God,

209
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: he's making four hundred and fifty million dollars. That was

210
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the contract he signed. Hell, I've seen Patrick talk numerous times,

211
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's actually one of the best. I've

212
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: never really seen him. I've seen him talk about the

213
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: contract one time, and it wasn't uncomfortable at all. He's

214
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: actually very natural at being relatable about talking about something

215
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: that ninety nine point nine nine percent of people can

216
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: never relate to. He's making on and off the field,

217
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: probably seventy five to one hundred million dollars. I mean

218
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: you're talking like Apple CEO money. I mean people that

219
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: don't own a business that make that level money. It's

220
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: a very very small percentage of rich people on an

221
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: annual basis W twos and ten ninety nine. I mean,

222
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: that's just that's a fact, and I think that really

223
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: resonates with people. Even as NFL free agency just happened.

224
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Once we get to fall in the games, it's more

225
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: like this guy's good enough for this guy's not good enough.

226
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: Now we integrate like, oh, this contract was a little much.

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: But like when you're playing well, no one talks about

228
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: the money. And golf's unique, right, one thing that really

229
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: separates just it's a niche sport. I guess I was

230
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: saying niche before, and people like it's niche. It's niche,

231
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: niche sport. But like unlike football, which is in its

232
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: own stratosphere, but even compared to baseball and basketball, more

233
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: people watch those sports, even though obviously the other television

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: ratings are way down from what they once were, but

235
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: their fan base is bigger, right, because more people are

236
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: just gonna play baseball or basketball growing up than golf.

237
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Though over the last four or five years, more people

238
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: are actually playing golf than ever. And unlike any of

239
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: these other sports, I can't play and I never will

240
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: be able to play, and neither will you. Flag football

241
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: at Lambeau Field, you will never be able to play

242
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Beer League, softball at Wrigley Field. You're never playing a

243
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: pickup basketball game at Madison Square Garden. It's not happening yet.

244
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: In golf, I can go play at Tory Pines next

245
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: week if I won Hell I joined, and I've played

246
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: here for the last two years at TPC Scottsdale. Play

247
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: there as the sun comes out two or three times

248
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: a week. Go out there and practice. I mean you

249
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: could do that too. You can go out there and

250
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: play next week if you want. Now it's expensive, same

251
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: with Sawgrass, but Toy's not that expensive and they play

252
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: Obviously they do play country clubs. But think about the

253
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: US Open. Anyone can go play Pinehurs throughout the year.

254
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Anyone can go play Whistling Straits. Again, I'm not saying

255
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: that everyone has the means to do that, but it

256
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: is possible. You can shoot one hundred and ninety on

257
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: the same course that. This is where Tiger Woods won

258
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: the US Open. This is where Payne Stewart had his

259
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: famous moment. I played TVC all the time. I think,

260
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: like god, this is in stories whenever I play, like

261
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: you know this is Hadeki goes driver nine iron here

262
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: and I'm going driver five iron. And that's something that

263
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: the other sports do not have. The other thing golf

264
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: has is by far, it's not even close, is their

265
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: audience has the highest household income. It's why that they

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: can sell to a smaller audience at higher price points.

267
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Why the people watching have more money. If the NFL,

268
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: their fan base, had this, now it's impossible because they

269
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: have so many people that it's such a diverse group,

270
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: but had thirty percent higher of a household income, the

271
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: NFL would be even dramatically richer. The problem is with

272
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: golf the conversation, and part of this is the business

273
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: was fucked up. The model was not working, and Live

274
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: came in was it's all become about the money and

275
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: anyone that's turned on full swing the last two years,

276
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: but specifically this year, you saw a DJ who has

277
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: awesome house, and you saw Ricky and JT who didn't

278
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: go to Live and didn't get one hundred and fifty

279
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: million dollars like PJ. All their houses kind of look

280
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: the same. They're fucking badass. All of their homes are

281
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: eight figure homes, between ten and fifteen million dollars on

282
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: the water in Jupiter. All these guys are rich. So

283
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: we're just talking about rich guys getting richer, and I

284
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: really think the turnoff of clearly on the most basic level,

285
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: the competition is not the same. You cannot take five

286
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: to ten guys who are elite players and some of

287
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: them are villains and remove them and have the same

288
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: level of competition. That's impossible. But I do think the

289
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: rhetoric around everything that's going on is just kind of exhausting.

290
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, Tiger played golf with Yasser, Okay, cool?

291
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: Like did deal get done? Like anything happening? I know

292
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: when the NFL owners go to the NFL Owners Meeting,

293
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen. Every single year. It does, sometimes more

294
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: dramatic than others, but things get done fast. Now, granted

295
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: everyone's on the same page. Here's the problem. Nobody's on

296
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: the same page nobody, and I think that is clearly

297
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: hurting just the overall product. Nobody watches live and the

298
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: ratings for the PGA Tour are dramatically down, and I

299
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: think there's just a fatigue. They're never gonna get ten

300
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: million people to watch non AUGUSTA. That's not gonna happen.

301
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: But when you see an audience of three and a

302
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: half million go to two and a half million, some

303
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: of these people are like, I don't even give a shit.

304
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: That did not think that a couple of years ago.

305
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: And I think it's easy to go, Yeah, I don't

306
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: really give a shit because it's exhausting, it really is.

307
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Can we just figure it out? And the people that

308
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: are making these decisions, from Tiger to all the elite guys,

309
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: because ultimately they're gonna give the thumbs up or the

310
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: thumbs down, how can they relate to us the consumer?

311
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: All I want to watch, all I care about is

312
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: watching the best guys t off together. Right, that's a

313
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: cool part about Full Swing. It kind of rehashes the majors.

314
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, this is sweet. But that's four weeks

315
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: a year. The majority of the year is the Vals

316
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Bar and Live Hong Kong and Live Saudi Arabia and

317
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: you know, the John Deere and Myrtle Beach. It's just

318
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: random tournaments. And I think that golf, I don't want

319
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: to say lost its way, but all these factors in

320
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: have really turned a lot of people off, and anytime

321
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: you turn a lot of people off, it's hard to

322
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: get them to come back. The NBA is dealing with

323
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: this right now. They had a perception that was reality.

324
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: Guys didn't play. It's sports. People get hurt, totally understand right,

325
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: If you roll an ankle and you're injured, can't play

326
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: even if I buy a ticket. I get it, But

327
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I can't show up to a game and just be like, oh, yeah,

328
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: he needs some rest. I mean, this is the product,

329
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: this is the business. I turned on the Lakers last night,

330
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: like is Lebron hurt or is he just? And I

331
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: get he's old. I get he's played two decades, but

332
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: like Primetime TNT him it versus the Bucks and there

333
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: he is in a sweatshirt, Like it's not good business.

334
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: It's just not And the business model is based on

335
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: these games. So like in football, I know when I

336
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: turn on week one week, ten week, if a guy

337
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: can play, he's playing. And that's another thing with golf.

338
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: Forever they dealt with like he didn't know who was

339
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna play when, and beside the majors, some tournaments were

340
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: better than others. And I get it, it's a it's

341
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: a whole problem. But right now they are in the

342
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: process of fixing the problem, and the people fixing the

343
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: problem don't know how we think, how could they? I

344
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: love Tiger Woods. I mean it's one of my favorite

345
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: athletes of all time, watching him in his prime. I

346
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: still randomly when I'm bored will type in YouTube Tiger Woods.

347
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: But to think that he he knows what us on

348
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: the couch want beside watching him in his prime, how

349
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: could he? He can't. But then you watch some of

350
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: these other guy talk they can't either, like that there's

351
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: a you know in fairness, like they're two into the weeds,

352
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas and Jordan Speat, these guys talking about it.

353
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: We don't want these guys. They need to jump through

354
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: hoops to come back. We don't care about any of that. Man,

355
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: that that's your fucking problem if you want to keep

356
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: this gravy train rolling, because it is not adding up.

357
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: As your viewership goes down and your purses go up,

358
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: something's gonna blow up. And now you get Arthur blank In.

359
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: These NFL and NBA owners involved, like they're very it's

360
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: very binary with them. It's like a you're making money

361
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: or you're not. Are you growing or you're dying. And

362
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: right now the PG tour over the last twelve months

363
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: feels like it's dying literally because guys are defecting to

364
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: a league that you couldn't pay me to watch. Now,

365
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: I follow live a little bit, like I'll type it

366
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: into the leaderboard, but I I've watched under nine holes

367
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: total in like two years, and I'm a diehard golf guy,

368
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: So I just think that the PGA Tour is is

369
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: really headed down a slippery slope right now, and I

370
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: don't know how it gets fixed. I'm not that bullsh

371
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: Majors are badass, cannot wait, doesn't get any better, but

372
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: they've always been sweet, They've always been the highest rated.

373
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: The problem for this kind of thing to operate, you

374
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: do need some of these other things to matter, you know,

375
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: and right now it just feels like they don't matter.

376
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: And I think Peter Malnay much more relatable than most

377
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: of these guys. Why he's not that rich relative to

378
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: golf terms. I looked at his career earnings. He made

379
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: nine million dollars, been on the PGA Tour for a decade.

380
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: He's only played in three majors. I text a buddy

381
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: that's close to the golf world. I'm like, how's that?

382
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: He and statistically possible? You have a ten year career,

383
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: yet you've only played in three majors total. Now he's

384
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: in more because he wins an event, He's gets to

385
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: play in the Masters for the first time. But like

386
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: he's really more relatable. It's why Steve Kirk can relate

387
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: to every guy on his roster, why he's been the

388
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: last guy in the you know, on the roster. He's

389
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: been a bench player. He's played with Michael Jordan and

390
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan and David Robinson, like he kind of knows

391
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: it all. Tiger Woods knows one thing, making a shitload

392
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: of money being as famous as like Jesus, I mean,

393
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: all Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth know is cash winning success.

394
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they've had bad years, but they've never

395
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: ever struggled financially since they went pro. And I'm not

396
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: holding that against him, but when you've never struggled financially,

397
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: like you don't. Hell, even the rich guy watching on

398
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: his couch in a ten million dollar home that owns

399
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: a business, it's probably gone through some rough times financially.

400
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: So I think that we're just in a sad state

401
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: of affairs. It honestly makes me sad because I've now

402
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm all in, like football pays the bills around here,

403
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: but the only other sport that I truly truly follow

404
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: hardcore and watch all the time is golf. Yeah, I

405
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: don't watch baseball and basketball like that anymore. I don't

406
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: have time seeing the ratings. Neither does America. Now I

407
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: understand neither does America with golf, but it used to

408
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: be more popular, and more people are playing than ever,

409
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: Like more people are not playing Beer League softball than

410
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: ever pick up basketball, which I played all through, you know,

411
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: my twenties, Like I'm not playing pick up basketball. I

412
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: can't afford to tear an achilles or terring a cl

413
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to be on crutches, stop playing like

414
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: five years ago. And I used to love playing basketball.

415
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Get a good sweat, great workout, you really find out

416
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: good a shapey on. I think a lot of people

417
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: can relate to that, like you kind of if you

418
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: played pick up basketball when you're younger, you kind of

419
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: stop playing as you get older at achilles pops. Like

420
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm not Drake green Law. I don't have the forty

421
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: nine ers training staff. I don't want to drive to

422
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: get a physical rehab three times a week. So it

423
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: just it sucks. And I props to Peter Malnaughty for

424
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: really articulating that better than anyone I've heard so far.

425
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: And I think it gets back to who he is

426
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: in his profession, which you know, I've heard people. I

427
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: don't know much about him, he's kind of cheesy or whatever.

428
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: But I thought that was one of the best statements

429
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: I've heard on the current state of golf. I do

430
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: think when you watch Full Swing, two things really jumped

431
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: out to me. And this goes back to the lift.

432
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: The houses these dudes live in, I mean, justin Thomas,

433
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: which I think he bought a new, like thirteen million

434
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: dollar house within the last year, is pretty dope, it

435
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: really is. And Ricky's is on a whole nother level.

436
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: Ricky's backyard at that Florida Keys West Palm Beach, Jupiter.

437
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: Here's what I know. I'm a West Coast guy, so

438
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: I couldn't live in the Bay Area anymore. I'm like,

439
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: I want to live somewhere nicer. I was gonna leave California,

440
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: so I wasn't gonna move to like Newport, San Diego.

441
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: So it gave him disgustale and it's fucking awesome. It's

442
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: still keep my West Coast vibes. I if I wasn't

443
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: bound to this coast, easier for me to get home.

444
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: Mother's a little older, see my family. I would live

445
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: in two places. One would be Nashville and the other

446
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: would be the South Florida area. And it's not like

447
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: I could afford to live on these guys street. But

448
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I've never seen a picture of Jupiter where all these

449
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: dudes live and go. That is badass. You got no

450
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: state to income Texas, no one, no mandates or anything ever.

451
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: You can do whatever the fuck you want, and that's

452
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: how you live. I know you got some hurricanes. I

453
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: know you got some rain. I know it's humidity. Shit.

454
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: I live in its one hundred and fifteen degrees for

455
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: a month on straight in July. So that place I

456
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: get it, I really do. And then they kind of,

457
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say profile DJ, they kind of did.

458
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: I wish they would just have an episode on one individual,

459
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: but they kind of bounced back between guys. I'll never

460
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: forget at the it was either twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen.

461
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: I forget the exact year. But when the US opening

462
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: was at Pebble Beach and Gary Woodland won it, I went.

463
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: I think I went on Friday, and I followed DJ

464
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: for a couple holes. I remember standing close to him,

465
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: and I've been on the field pre game for fifty

466
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: NFL games I sort of got. My first takeaway was like,

467
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: this guy's built like an NFL quarterback meets an NFL

468
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: tight end. He was just massive. His arms and lower

469
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: body was big. I mean that is like a legit

470
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: athlete and not shocking that he was one of the

471
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: best players over a fifteen year span, won a couple

472
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: of majors, honestly, probably underachieved. He easily could have five

473
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: or six majors. He's just an all time golf talent.

474
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: And he's with this like sports royalty in Paulina Gretzky,

475
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: who's just a smoke show, and he just feels like

476
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: a celebrity, right. His wife clearly is, and his wife's

477
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: dad is, you know, probably one of the most famous

478
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: athletes in the history of my life. Right, and he

479
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: even played It's not like he played one of the

480
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: main sports in America. He played hockey. And there's no

481
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: one my age or older if you just say Wayne

482
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Gretzky that doesn't immediately go, yeah, it's the best hockey

483
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: player of all time. And you just look at those

484
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: two and you go, God, this guy is just he feels, honestly,

485
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: more like an NFL player or an NBA player than

486
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: he does a golfer. And I wish we would have

487
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: got more DJ I really do. And as someone who's

488
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: gambled on him a lot over the years, I miss him,

489
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: I really do. And I hope he plays well. But

490
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: his pad's badass too. I mean, all these guys have

491
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: these sweet modern homes with these pools that go. The

492
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: one thing I've always wondered about West Palm Beach and Florida,

493
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: just the Florida Keys or whatever. Can you just walk

494
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: to the water. Are there saltwater crocs or gators or

495
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: you don't worry about anything. Can you just walk down

496
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: there and like your dogs can swim or you know,

497
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: cause in the lakes in the Gulf in Florida they're

498
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: gators floating around. Are you able to do that if

499
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you live on the water, like if you live in

500
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: the Tahoe Keys, you know, back in my neck of

501
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: the woods, you just I mean it's cold, but you

502
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: just jump in the water that there's nothing in there

503
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: besides some fish. Are you Can you do that in Florida?

504
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Because I never would. Whenever I see these people wakeboarding

505
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: down south, I'm like, Uh, don't you guys have snakes

506
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: and gators like, yeah, we might not run into them.

507
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: It's like, you couldn't pay me to get in that

508
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: water where the lake I grew up going to barri

509
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Essa had nothing in there. Hell, fish weren't even in there.

510
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: So I just the full swing. Overall. Some of the

511
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: the Zach Johnson stuff was was pretty cringe. That was

512
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: a tough watch and I really think and listen, Justin

513
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: Thomas has been one of the most incredible starts to

514
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: a pro career of the non like all time great

515
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: guys we've ever seen. He's got whatever, twelve thirteen wins,

516
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: a couple of majors. I mean he made a cut

517
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: when he was sixteen years old. He's clearly a star.

518
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: He was so terrible last year. He really was shut

519
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: eighty one in the US Open eighty one and Keigan

520
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: Bradley won multiple times. I really think he can got

521
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: royally screwed. And you watch that he wanted it bad.

522
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: It's one thing we all want certain things bad, and

523
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: no one's guaranteed anything in life. You don't deserve shit.

524
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: I do think he earned his way on that team,

525
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: and for Zach Johnson to just go the other thing

526
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: is like buddy buddy crowd, And I get it, they're

527
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: all friends. We all roll with certain people, Justin and

528
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Ricky and Speith. I mean Ricky won last year. Like

529
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Ricky was good, right, Speith obviously was much better than

530
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Justin Thompson. I understand those guys getting on, but to

531
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: not bring Keegan Bradley just because all these guys were buddies.

532
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: That was a tough watch. It really was. And after

533
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the fact, not that Keegan Bradley would have helped them

534
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: win or not lose by as much, but still, like,

535
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: what's the point of this whole thing, right? What is

536
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: play well? Get on the team? It was clear he

537
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: never had a shot. He would have had to win

538
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: like three more times to even be considered. So I

539
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty embarrassing. And I was thinking, one

540
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: issue I think this season has had is Scotti Scheffler.

541
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Who knows and by the time you're listening to this,

542
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: he could be up at this tournament. He was under

543
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: a three to one favorite to win this week. They're

544
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty guys in the tournament. That is

545
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: insane to me. If you are under ten to one

546
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: in a golf tournament, you are playing at an elite

547
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: level if I can give you eight nine to one odds,

548
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, I'm still probably not crazy to

549
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: take them, right, Like when Rom's on, when Scott He's on,

550
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, Tiger back in the day, what Rory or

551
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: Speith would have been. He kind of in their peaks

552
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: that just that really is rare. It doesn't happen that often.

553
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: But he's carrying his weight like he's doing everything he can.

554
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: One of the issues is some of the guys that

555
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: ultimately turned down the money, like Xander and Can't Lee

556
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: turned down money. They're not that famous to casual fans.

557
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: They don't do that much when they're on TV. Xander's

558
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: an awesome player, but he's not He means nothing to

559
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: the overall scope of television ratings. Ricky Fowler, Jordan Speith,

560
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: and I'd even throw Justin Thomas in there kind of

561
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: matter right to this current iteration of the PGA Tour,

562
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: and they're just nowhere to be found, like nowhere to

563
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: be found. I mean Justin Thomas. It sucks because I

564
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: love his game, but he's just not very good right

565
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: down relative to what they would need him to be.

566
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: They don't need him to be Scotty. But Wyndham Clark,

567
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: who I saw today, I was in the car. I

568
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: think he heard his back, which not ideal right with

569
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: the majors coming up, but he's he's lapped those guys,

570
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: he really has. And if the PGA Tour had one

571
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: of those three guys playing at his level, especially if

572
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: it was Jordan or Ricky like, that would help. That

573
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: would But when it's just Scotty taking on a bunch

574
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: of randoms, it's one thing of it's Tiger, and even

575
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: Tiger was taken on like some legendary players like Ernie

576
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Els is one of the greatest players of all time.

577
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: Google VJ sings record. Where are these guys currently? And Phil?

578
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably like a top five or six

579
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: player of all time. I just the hard part about golf.

580
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do when guys aren't playing well.

581
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: But the PGA Tour cannot afford for like Jake Knapp

582
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: and some of these guys to just be immediately better

583
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: than like the core four or five guys now. And

584
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: Xander is playing well and he's world ranking wise, money wise,

585
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: like he's an elite player. But I just think that

586
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: little crew, you know, the spring Break crew kind of

587
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: being irrelevant early on this season is just not ideal.

588
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: And then I wanted to look ahead really quick at

589
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: the Master speaking of like, you know, the the odds,

590
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: clearly the betting favorite is going to be Scottie Scheffler.

591
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to quantify rom. I was in the car yesterday.

592
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: I was listening to Coult Nohost on PG Tour Radio

593
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: and held with him out here at Whisper Rock, and

594
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: he said, he shot like the easiest sixty four you'll

595
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: ever see. I mean, he's just he He obviously is

596
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: really good, but like we don't have any context. Is

597
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: he just gonna show up at Augusta he's a defending

598
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: champion and just look just like Scotty and they'll just

599
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: be equals, or is there gonna be some rust Like

600
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: I know, just on a random day, he can go

601
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: out and he beat anyone in the world easily, and

602
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: that includes Scotty Scheffler. If they just picked up in

603
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: a random course, played one on one, like he could

604
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: beat him by several shots. But does that translate to

605
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: competition and you know, for the first time, like the

606
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: other guys, Phil DJ Koepka, like they dealt with everyone

607
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: watching him Bryson these last couple of years when they

608
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: defected for the last whatever six majors. But Ron hasn't

609
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: and he's coming back as a defending champion. One of

610
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: the big conversations is gonna be just about that right

611
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: when he does his press conference. I hope everything's normal,

612
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just I would be nervous

613
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: to bet on John Rahm, not because he's not a

614
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: great player, but just because there's gonna be a lot

615
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: of things flying left and right when it comes to

616
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: that week for him, and thinking of another live guy

617
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: that you go. I actually like Koepka more in this

618
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: in Augusta, just because he doesn't have any of that one.

619
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't give a shit. He's always said I only

620
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: play for the majors, and he proved last year like

621
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: when he's healthy the majors. Do not bet against him,

622
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: do not bet against Brooks Kopka. I would not be

623
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: shocked at all if we see Brooks win another Major

624
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: this year, which, again, like Raw, it's hard to quantify,

625
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: like if he finished tenth or third or fiftieth, what

626
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: does that even mean? On liv I don't care about him.

627
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: That does not mean anything to me his status on

628
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: LYFT because I know when those tournaments show up in

629
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: his back or his knees, right, he's a major factor.

630
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: That's where DJ like, I don't know, I feel the

631
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: most confident this major season, even more than Rom Brooks

632
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: because now by the time we get to the second

633
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: or third major, maybe Rom understands the hoopla that comes

634
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: with being a live guy. Now, Like is he gonna

635
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: wear the live hat? That's you know, Brooks doesn't. Brooks

636
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: just wears the Nike stuff. You have the rest of

637
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: the guys wearing like their seven aces and smart Water

638
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck their team's names are. That Brooks doesn't

639
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: give a shit. Brooks doesn't even end in the majors

640
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: like talk positively about liv. He just he truly talks

641
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: independent contractor. I'm here for me, I'm here for my legacy.

642
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm here to be a legend. I'm here to win

643
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: more of these things. None of that other stuff matters.

644
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: I never liked regular golf to begin with. I only

645
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: play for these things, and I've proven that I can

646
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: play these things better than basically everybody. I think his

647
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: major record, like literally, I saw a stat which was

648
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: going around last year. He was like eighty under par

649
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: the last like five years of majors, and the only

650
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: guy remotely close was like ten under par. I mean,

651
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: he has boat raced when you factor in all four

652
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: majors over the last five or six years whenever he

653
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: first started winning them, and I just I'm gonna have

654
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: money on him. I think you would just be crazy

655
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: not to. And then there's you know, you would say

656
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark, but I gotta see it. I'm talking Augusta,

657
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: especially now that his back is injured. Speace always hard

658
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: because he always plays well there, but you know, you

659
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: watch him plays all over the place. So I feel

660
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: now I already have a bet on will Zlaturus. There

661
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: are other guys that have had success there before, right

662
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: Xanders played there well, A bunch Tony Fenoes played well. Obviously.

663
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: There are other guys that are gonna be very interesting

664
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: in terms of like top fives and top tens and

665
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: top twenties, but when it just comes to winning, it

666
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: feels like only a handful of guys. Right, Scotty if

667
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: Ron plays well. Definitely him obviously, Koepka, I mean Xalatoris

668
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: has proven when he's healthy like he's a major major

669
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: factor in these tournaments. He's he's got a little Kopka

670
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: to him. He really does, because he's played well earlier

671
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: this year at a really multiple tournaments was a bay

672
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: Hill and he played well at RIV So I've already

673
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: the xalator I got Xalatorus at like fifty to one.

674
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: I think he's already down to like twenty five or

675
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: thirty to one. But if he's healthy, like I expect

676
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: him to be right in the mix. Then the other

677
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: thing you watch full swing. Like last year's weather was

678
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: so terrible, so hopefully this year we get good weather.

679
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: But there's nothing better. I mean, football is pretty special, obviously.

680
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: I put Augusta non like NFL Playoff super Bowl. To me,

681
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: Augusta is the second best event of the year. It's

682
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: definitely the best event post football. It's way better in

683
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: March madness. I mean, there's not an NBA game that

684
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: I would even compare to it. I still like October baseball,

685
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: but that doesn't hold a candle. Augusta is a pretty

686
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: special time. The volume
