The only way to do that, he's got 6 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: to win. This week. We got Bryson a lot of 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: momentum from YouTube to the Masters. The dude's been balling. 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler a couple weeks ago got his first win 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: of the season.

When I first moved to Arizona, I 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: think I went to like three or four spring training games, 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: hockey games.

You know what's funny in 42 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: my house, I have Maria shocked how much golf I watch, 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: and she doesn't quite understand. She's like, there's a season 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: ever end, and like, yeah, this isn't like football. They 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: play every single weekend. But there are four tournaments that 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: separate from the pack. And you know, she's a football gal. 47 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: So I equated that there are basically four super Bowls 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: and they're called the Majors. And let's face it, I 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: would say Augusta, at least for US in America, is 50 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: by far the number one golf tournament. I think you 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: could make an argument on on what is the second 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: biggest major. I have a soft spot for the US Open. 53 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: It's the first golf tournament I ever attended as a kid. 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: I think it was was it ninety seven or ninety 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: eight at Olympic Club. My dad and his buddy Jerry 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: took me and my friend Travis. I remember they went 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: off on their own. We went off on our own. 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: We followed John Daily. I remember Da Points. I remember 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: watching him t off. I think Lee Jansen ended up winning. 60 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: That was a tournament. Yeah, it would have been ninety 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: eight because Payne Stewart had a really really good chance 62 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: to win, and then he were to win the next 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: week or the next year against Phil Mickelson. But to me, 64 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: when I think the US opened the challenge of it, 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: typically at some of these venues, you know, even Parr, 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: sometimes even over Parr was winning it. I'm a sucker 67 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: for that. And obviously the Open Championship, there's just something 68 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: historic about you know, where golf was invented, They've been 69 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: playing it for hundreds of years. The elements that come 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: into play, the golf courses look so much different than 71 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: anything we have beside a couple tracks over here, and 72 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: this thing falls in its own little category. And I 73 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: want to start before we dive in to just what 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: I think. Obviously, the top three contenders, the guys at 75 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: the top of the betting board, I think this tournament. 76 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: You know, I listen to a lot of golf content. 77 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: People often ask like, what are the football shows you 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: listen to. I'm like, I don't, really, I don't take 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: in that much football content. I do take in a 80 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: lot of golf content, and I think it's probably like 81 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: this with football. But I think sometimes the golf media 82 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: can almost be too close to the sun. Listen. I 83 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: understand that some of these courses, the distance and most 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: people that I would consider, you know, golf media are 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: big on the roll back. I'm like, I don't know 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: if the actual consumer really cares that much. Honestly, I 87 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: don't think it matters, and I think they're very very 88 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: hard on this tournament and the courses. You know, last 89 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: year Valhalla got crushed by most people involved that get 90 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: paid to talk about golf. This year, I think a 91 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: lot of people just like you know, we go to 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: this venue every single year, Quayhallo at Wells Fargo, I 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: don't have as big of an issue with it. I 94 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: think it's very very difficult to follow Augusta so like 95 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna play in random tournaments. There's no easy way 96 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: to do this. Now. If you wanted to argue Valhalla, 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: never go back there. I'm not going to argue with you. 98 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: But Quayohlo Ironomic, which is next year, is in Philadelphia, 99 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: And when I worked for the Eagles, my brother Jeff 100 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: had come to visit and we went to the tournament, 101 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: and at the time, I think it was Tiger's tournament 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: in either twenty ten or eleven. I thought that track's 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: pretty cool, Like I'm not going to complain about that. 104 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Next year is at pg or in twenty seven's at 105 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: PGA Frisco. Then Olympic Club in twenty eight which they 106 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: have redone, which I don't think anyone ever complains about 107 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: playing an Olympic Club, Like, I think they're doing the 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: best they can. There is no perfect venue for this tournament. 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: I also think people underestimate how difficult it is for 110 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: private clubs to give up their course to a tournament 111 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: like this. And you know, especially at this time of 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: the year, depending on where you're at, like if you're 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: in the Northeast, like golf is just starting again and 114 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: you're giving up the first couple of weeks for your 115 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: members to play, and if it's in a nicer area, 116 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: like the members aren't able to participate. And that was 117 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: a big issue with LA Country Club a couple of 118 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: years ago. It's like the membership wouldn't let that many 119 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: people on the venue, and it's like, yeah, this is 120 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: complicated now. If you want to argue, like why don't 121 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: they just put the PGA Championship at Pebble Beach every 122 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: single year? I don't know who would push back on 123 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: that right. I mean people have talked forever put the 124 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: PGA chan or put the FedEx Championship at Pebble Beach. 125 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: I also think it's probably a little more difficult to 126 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: get Pebble Beach, which is charged currently like nine hundred 127 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: dollars around uh to give up their course for a while. 128 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: You know. So a lot of people are so down 129 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: on the venues in this tournament. I gotta be honest 130 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: with you, Like you tell me the PGA Championships being played, 131 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: they could be playing in my backyard. I'm gonna watch. 132 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't have as big of a problem with it. 133 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: Let's dive into the top three contenders because I listen. 134 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Spieth was quoted last week talking to Rory McElroy 135 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: when Rory said, looking forward to watch you try to 136 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: get the join me at the Career Grand Slam next week, 137 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: and then Jordan responded, you mean it, Rory country Club. 138 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: Rory dominates at this course. He has won here several times. 139 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: He won last year in a duel against Xander Schoffley, 140 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: who would go on to win two of the next 141 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: three majors. He fucking drubbed him. On Sunday, I looked 142 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: up today because I remember watching it. I mean, he destroyed. 143 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: They were in the last group. It was basically match 144 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: play and Rory shot sixty five and one by five 145 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: strokes and it just felt like God, the momentum Rory 146 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: had going into Postmasters, like Valhalla, the US Open, the 147 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: British You're like, I think Rory might win too, the 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: next three Majors, and it was actually Xander who would 149 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: go on to win the following week, but I think Rory, 150 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Like you could argue Rory and Bryson are a true 151 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: coin flip this week. I've never been to this course. 152 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: It is clearly going to benefit the longer hitters. And 153 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: I was listening to I went for a walk today 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: and No laying up had a preview on the PGA 155 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Championship and Sally's really good with numbers, and he was 156 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: saying the season currently that Bryson is having driving is 157 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: one of the greatest driving seasons we've ever seen. And 158 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: I think sometimes with golf, I was just playing in 159 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: this member guest last week and by the second day, 160 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: we're in this group with these guys and they're they're fun, 161 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: they're older, and by like the third or fourth hole, 162 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: you play five nine hole matches and we're on like 163 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: whole three or four. It actually, yeah, it might have 164 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: been the third hole we played. And now look at 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: Mark who Again, this guy was a college quarterback, he's 166 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: an athlete, he's a scratch golfer, and I go, this 167 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: dude we're playing, can play like you think he played 168 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: college golf. Like this guy clearly was once a good golfer. 169 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: Then a couple holes later I kind of make a comment, 170 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, did you play in college? And he kind 171 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: of laughs, He's like, yeah, it was Phil Mickelson's roommate 172 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: from eighty eight to ninety two. And you're like, God, no, 173 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: this guy's a stick. And sometimes you can just watch 174 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: a guy play, especially live, and you go, this guy's 175 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: really really good. I think if you've scouted Bryson through 176 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: the YouTube, if you just watch the tournaments. I'm or, 177 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: not the tournaments, but his videos, even if you watch 178 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: the break fifty when he's playing the red Definitely, if 179 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: you watch the random and I've been saying this for 180 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: a while, when he just goes to random courses and 181 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: tries to break the course record, if you just watch 182 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: him tee off, how reliable that power draw is going 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: three forty. I mean it is a weapon. And obviously 184 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: Rory is I think, widely considered the greatest driver in 185 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: the history of the sport. Whatever Bryson is currently doing, 186 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: he's a menace. Now, his irons, especially at the Masters, 187 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: a little off, you would say, Rory with his irons 188 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: a little on. I would be stunned if one of 189 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: these two guys doesn't win. Honestly, if there was a bet, 190 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: and I look there isn't, I would have no problem 191 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: putting like ten thousand dollars on one of these two. 192 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Being like a lock top five. I think it would 193 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: be stunning if comes Sunday one of these two guys 194 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: doesn't even either have the lead or is in one 195 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: of the last two groups. Like this course I saw today, 196 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: I follow a decent amount of like caddies on the 197 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: PGA tourches on Instagram, and Aaron Fleener, who is JT 198 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Postin's caddy, who's a Kentucky guy, big sports guy, was 199 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: just walking down the fairway and he's like pretty sweet 200 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: conditions and his feet were just going basically like a 201 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: couple of inches underwater. I mean, it has been soaked 202 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: out there, it's been raining. Well, what benefits do you 203 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: have by hitting it far in the air, carrying it 204 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty three hundred and forty yards, Well, 205 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: anyone knows it's played in the rain, the ballink gonna roll. 206 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: So that is a huge advantage to these guys. You know, 207 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Bryson when he was on the PGA Tour had played 208 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: well at this course. Obviously, Rory has dominated here. I mean, 209 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: he's won here several times. He's just very comfortable in 210 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: this moment. I also think there's just there's a little 211 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: extra pressure that's just off him, you know. I mean, whatever, 212 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: he slayed at the Masters, which is one of the 213 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: craziest Sunday roller coaster rounds in the history of golf, 214 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: especially for a guy that wins up winning it in 215 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: extra holes. I mean, honestly, what he was the equivalent 216 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: I Vanderveld in whatever year that was ninety nine ninety 217 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: eight would have won, because people forget Vandervelt went to 218 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: the playoff. If Vandervelt would have won the four hole playoff, 219 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: that would have been the equivalent of what Rory did. 220 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: Except Rory had all the baggage of the last decade 221 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and the previous wins that he carried with him in 222 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: that playoff against Justin Rose and the thing with Bryson. 223 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just simply YouTube, but I 224 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: do think it's fair to say that world has changed 225 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: the guy's life. It's taken a pressure of everyone just 226 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: thinking the guy was a loser, geek, douchebag. And listen, 227 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. I know people that know him. 228 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: He's a Fresno I mean's not a kid anymore, but 229 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: that's where he grew up. I have a lot of 230 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: second and third people in my life that just you know, 231 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: either grew up playing golf around him, knew him when 232 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: he was a kid, and listen, if golf is your life. 233 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: I always defended Tiger when he got in the situation, 234 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, personally in his life, Like how come pro 235 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: athletes and other sports can handle like cheating scandals a 236 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: little more small. It's because when you hang out with 237 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan or Charles Barkley or some of these quarterbacks 238 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: and the people Tiger was running around with. Two things. 239 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: One they're the cool kid from the moment they're like twelve, 240 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: and two they're used to being around a lot of 241 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: other human beings. They're on a team, whereas a golfer 242 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: you are isolated. You're by yourself and Tiger. You know, 243 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: back when Tiger came up, golf wasn't even cool. And 244 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Bryson is like a NERD's nerd. But it's a very 245 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: isolated profession where Michael Jordan, even if he is just 246 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: into his own shit, he's still around other human beings 247 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: a lot, and he's dependent on other guys. I mean, 248 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: he passed to Steve curda win the NBA Championship, right, 249 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: he passed to John Paxson to win an NBA championship. 250 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: It's on Rory, it's on Bryson. And I just wonder 251 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: if the break fifty playing with Tom and Stafford and 252 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: Romo and Trump. I don't know. It's just made Bryson 253 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: the perception around him feel a little bit different, which 254 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: has taken made him feel little bit different because he 255 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: has been a dominant bright lights guy. I mean, going 256 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: back to start in twenty twenty four, ted six in 257 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: the Masters, he finished second in the PGA, and if 258 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: Xander misses on eighteen on whole seventy two, they're in 259 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: a playoff in the PGA. Last year of Valhalla, he 260 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: wins the US Open. He's t five this year in 261 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: the Masters, and honestly didn't even play that good on 262 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday with his irons, Like you put the 263 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: lights on the brightest, this guy's gonna I mean, if 264 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: he was a basketball players like Jalen Brunson, he's scoring 265 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: thirty five, you know. And I think him and Rory, 266 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: if you told me this is like the US Open 267 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: last year, if this is like the Masters this year, 268 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: it says these two's going at it, I think it's 269 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: very believable. And yeah, I mean I think that I 270 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: think the winner's coming from one of those two other 271 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: those two guys. When it comes to Scotty, I definitely 272 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: look at him a little bit differently because it's been 273 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: a weird start to the season after he cut his 274 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: hand making the raviolis, which is a little bit of 275 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: a bizarre story. But he's you give him the benefit 276 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: of doubt. You know, anyone that knows a few people 277 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: knows that that story a couple of years ago, when 278 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson fell down the stairs, you know, got red 279 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: flagged by a lot of human beings. This story, you know, 280 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: because it's him family guy, you know, pretty serious cat like. 281 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people red flagged it. 282 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm just a human being who's been around the block. 283 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: Just seemed a little bit different. I don't know what 284 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: he would have been doing, but it clearly got him 285 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: off to a weird start. And then a couple of 286 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago he plays in the tournament against kind of 287 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: randoms and he beats a living piss out of him. 288 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I just don't know if this is his ideal event. 289 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: He does not play this course typically when it's you know, 290 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't enter the Wells Fargo. That's not really his jam. 291 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: I think the last time he played it was twenty 292 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: twenty two in the President's Cup. I actually love him. 293 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: In a month at Oakmont, I think Scotta Cheff gonna 294 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: win the US Open. I'm actually, if I win a 295 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: little money this week, I will have no problem putting 296 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: like four figures on him immediately to win the US Open, 297 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: even if he finishes like tenth or eighth or twelfth 298 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: in this tournament. But listen, I think you have to 299 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: have a little exposure to him. He's got it. I 300 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: think when it's all said and done, gonna go down 301 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: as an all time great, but like this specific venue, 302 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: this specific week with the rain, those guys are just 303 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: longer than him. Not that Scotty's not long, but I 304 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: think he's clearly three of the three big dogs going 305 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: into this weekend. And again like it's not taking anything 306 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: away from him. I would expect him to win multiple 307 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: times the rest of the season, and I think he's 308 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: the heavy favorite over Bryson and Rory at Oakmont here 309 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: in a month. I think the other names that you 310 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: got to really like are this guy has you know, 311 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: we've seen guys go in the wilderness. You know, Speace 312 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: spend in the wilderness. Max Homas kind of currently in 313 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: the wilderness relative to like their stature. Justin Thomas a 314 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: couple of years ago was struggling to break eighty at 315 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Majors and this guy this year, I don't know if 316 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: it was just relaxing a little bit, changing his putter. Uh, 317 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: just he has a kid, maybe Tiger gave him some advice. 318 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: Whatever it is he is bawling. He easily could have 319 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: three wins this season. I mean he is a miss 320 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: putt and a squirrely drive from winning that tournament in 321 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: regulation last week, let alone just a missputt away from 322 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: being in a playoff against Epstraca, and clearly he had 323 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: won whatever the previous signature event at the RBC. JT 324 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: is playing fantastic golf now that Scotty's kind of got 325 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: his groove back. You could argue more than Mori Cowa. 326 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: You know right that Bryson's going to be on the 327 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup. But Scotty, Bryson and JT as our lead 328 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: dogs right now for the Americans that you know give 329 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: you confidence going in to this fall. But I he 330 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: won here in twenty seventeen. He is gonna be very 331 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: comfortable here. He's already won this trophy twice. I don't 332 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: love him necessarily to win, but I feel very very 333 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: confident putting a top ten bet on Justin Thomas Xander, 334 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, unlike Scotty, like he legitimately just had a 335 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: rib injury, which I would imagine when you're swinging out 336 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: of your ass as all these pros are now trying 337 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: to get however many miles an hour ball speed in 338 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: the one eighties, it got to be pretty painful. Hell, 339 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: even any movements when you have a golf swing, if 340 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: you have a rib injury, it can't feel good, but 341 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: he is trending, and to me, like JT, feels like 342 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: a lock to be in the mix. And unlike these 343 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: other guys you know, to get Rory's four and a 344 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: half five to one, even Bryson now is under ten 345 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: to one, Scotty's four to one, right, so you can 346 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: get Xander at over twenty to one if Xander had 347 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: not been injured and just been playing like he did 348 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: last year. To me, Xander's number is probably like twelve 349 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: thirteen to one, but that also means top fives and 350 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: top tens. He started getting his groove back at the 351 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: Masters T eight, RBC T eighteen last week T eleven. 352 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: Another guy that bombs it again was right there with 353 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: Rory last year, coming on Sunday at this golf course. 354 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: I like JT and Xander a lot, so to me, 355 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: we'll get into the bets here in a second. A 356 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: couple other guys you know to top twenty would be 357 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: guys like Kdeki ball striker Deep anyone that saw the 358 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: viral photo of him putting in the torrential rainstorm. Not 359 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: quite sure that that translates to like Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 360 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: but I'm just a sucker for Adeki. I do think 361 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: Lowry and Fleetwood wouldn't shock me if one of those 362 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: guys top ten. I mean, Fleetwood plays on all in 363 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: the majors. Lowry's been excellent this season. I definitely like 364 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: both guys to top twenty. My one long shot because 365 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: people sometimes tweet at me or DM me like who's 366 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: your long I don't really do long shots in the 367 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: majors anymore. Look at who has competed the Masters, you 368 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: can a little bit. But to me, when it comes 369 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: to the PGA and the US Open, moving forward, like 370 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm going with the horses and Gary Woodland, I saw 371 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: this clip that he did with Dan Rappaport where he 372 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: said that Quail Hollow is his favorite course on the 373 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: PGA Tour. He has finished top ten at Quail Hollow 374 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: multiple times in his career, and he's also really long. 375 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: I think he's top ten in driving this season. He 376 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: is just He's a guy who's proven to play well 377 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: at tough golf courses over the course of his career. 378 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: But when it comes to length, you can get a 379 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: top twenty. For Gary Woodland at plus four point fifty, 380 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: you can get a top thirty at plus two five. 381 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: So to me, when you just look at DraftKings odds 382 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: for a guy you know again top twenty, top thirty, 383 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: top forty even has plus odds, He's the only guy 384 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: that I feel comfortable under, Like you know, Fleetwood, Hadeki, 385 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: some of those guys are thirty forty to one range 386 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: and then obviously the top five top tens work off 387 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: from there. But Gary's the one guy with much longer 388 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: odds that I'm gonna mess with a little bit. My 389 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: betting card goes is this, I'm gonna have action on 390 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: Rory and Bryson. I just I respect him too much. 391 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: I put a little on Scottie as well, just because 392 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to like Saturday or Sunday and Scotty 393 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: Sipher the league like of course, he's one of the 394 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: great players of his generation. And it's you know, Rory 395 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: and Bryson because again, it's a golf tournament. So you 396 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: have a stretch on a Thursday or Friday. If you're 397 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Bryson and Rory hit a couple shitty shots, all of 398 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: a sudden, you go double bogie and you're just way behind. 399 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Like it's it's hard to play ketchup a little bit, 400 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: but I'm taking all three of them to outright. The 401 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: one guy I hammered the top five Scotty and Rory 402 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: are don't have good odds. The top five Bryson I 403 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: got I think plus one thirty to top five. I 404 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: hammered that Justin Thomas hammered a top ten, have some 405 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: top I have a top ten parlay which could pay 406 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: out pretty big. Again, it's hard because you got three 407 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: guys in the top ten, but ties at DraftKings count. 408 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: Justin Thomas, Xander, Schoffley, and Fleetwood have another one with 409 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: Xander to win, JT to top ten. I have some 410 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: parlays with like Bryson to win Xander to top five, 411 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: A Decky to top twenty. Shane Lowry's a guy that 412 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: I dabbled a little bit to top ten. I have 413 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: some Scotty win with Xander and JT. So I'm basically 414 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: just sticking to six seven guys. I am not messing 415 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: with randoms like maybe this is Sam Burns, maybe this 416 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: is even Ludvig's playing like sit Off, John Rahm, Marikawa Off. 417 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: So I'm sticking with the same six or seven horses 418 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: and just letting you ride. If they all have bad weeks, 419 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm screwed. If we get three or four of them 420 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: in the mix, I'm cooking with gas. So other than that, 421 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited. I think there's something pretty special about 422 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: major golf that just feels pretty big when you're watching 423 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: on television.

In those dms, we will 458 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: start with with Reed. Been listening to you and Colin 459 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: for five plus years. Question for the pod. I've played 460 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of classic gems like Pebble Stadium, Chambers, Gamble Sands, 461 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: never been there. But my favorite is paying around one 462 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: fifty for a killer under the Raider course. Like Raven 463 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: was curious, if you have a bang for your buck 464 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: group of West Coast courses. If you haven't played Wine 465 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: Valley in Washington, plan to do so someday. Absolute steel 466 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: and tons of wineries to keep the wife busy. Also 467 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: love the never bet can't ley take? The guy is terrible? 468 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: Watch I there is. You know, he's a guy that's 469 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: actually playing pretty good golf. But like re just said, 470 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: there is no conceivable way that I would ever put 471 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: money on him he can win. I'm cool with not 472 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: win any money. I'm not watching or rooting for him. 473 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: The one thing in Arizona, for example, if you can 474 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: handle the heat, the price drops dramatically, so you can 475 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: play all the sweet public courses. I'm playing tomorrow at 476 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Desert Ridge. It's a I think Nick Faldo designed them both, 477 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: and I think I'm playing for like one hundred and 478 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: thirty bucks, and that's of course, in I don't know, December, 479 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: that's probably three hundred and twenty bucks. Now it's not 480 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: worth three hundred and twenty bucks, but all these courses 481 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: the price drops that you can play around here for 482 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: most courses under two hundred bucks. Again, if you can 483 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: handle the heat. In northern California, I would say this 484 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: for really cheap. You can play Chardonnay in Eagle Vines, 485 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: which is ten minutes away from Napa. I think technically 486 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: it's in Napa, but like downtown Napa, it's like ten 487 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes away. When I lived in Walnut Creek in 488 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, those are like 489 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: my home courses because it was like twenty minutes away. 490 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: I could go in the afternoon and play for like 491 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: forty to fifty bucks and I just listen. They're not 492 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: perfectly maintained, but they're in the heart of wine country, 493 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: just really really cool. Another sneaky gem is in Livermore, 494 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: California called wenty gets a little windy, but again the 495 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: in the wine country, I think it's a little price here. 496 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: I haven't played it in years, but it's actually a 497 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: pretty solid track. So I'm with you. When you can 498 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: find a gem for like under one hundred and fifty dollars, 499 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: you're like, this is a pretty well maintained track. I'm 500 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: all over it. What happened to sobol loved him on 501 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: the pod? Well, Sobel used to work for Action Network, 502 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: So when we have Stucky on, we have a partnership 503 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: at the volume. So those guys he used to come on, 504 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: it was all under the kind of one umbrella here, 505 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: and then he left the Action Network to do other stuff. 506 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: So once he left, it became like I couldn't just 507 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 1: have him on just out of the goodwill. You know, 508 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: he's got other stuff to do. He's got a serious show, 509 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: and I think he's writing for MGM, So I think 510 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: there were some conflicts of you know, who supports the 511 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: show gambling wise, But I'm with you. I text them 512 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: probably a month ago. Sobles demand Quail Hollow may end 513 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: up being a great venue, but I find it a 514 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: letdown to have a major at a yearly PGA Tour venue. 515 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: I know Pebble has a yearly PGA Tour event, but 516 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: Quail Hollow does not have the same prestige as Pebble. 517 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: I know the US Open has swooped up some great 518 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: courses for their anchor sites, but there are some amazing 519 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: famous courses in the USA that could be good venues. 520 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: What courses do you think would make good PGA championship venues? 521 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: This is what I was talking about. You know, you 522 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: have to convince these unreal private courses. One, some of 523 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: these private courses, Like, there's a couple of private courses 524 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: right down the street from me. There is Silverlief, which 525 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: is really prestigious and expensive. There is Whisper Rock, which 526 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: a ton of the pros play at. There's Astancia. None 527 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: of these courses are hard enough to host an event, 528 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: for example in Arizona. And two there's not like a 529 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: setup where you could get fans there. So some of 530 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: these courses, and who knows, maybe they wouldn't even be 531 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: interested in giving it away for their members. There are 532 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: a lot of variables that come into play. Because I'm 533 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: with you, there are probably some badass country clubs all 534 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: over the nation that would be awesome. One are they 535 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: long enough because if they're not, these guys will fucking 536 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: annihilate them. And two if they are either long enough 537 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: or you could create a difficult setup. Is the course 538 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: willing to give their course to the tour or the 539 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: PGA for a while and basically have the members be like, yeah, 540 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: take my course for a month, because some of these courses, 541 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: depending on where they are, are only open six seven 542 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: months a year. So if I basically take one of 543 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: those months away, the membership like, I'm still cutting checks fordws, 544 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: you know. So it's not it's more complicated than I think. 545 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: The way we just casually talk about it, it just 546 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me as much. It's not gonna be a 547 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: hill I'm gonna die on when it comes to people 548 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: freaking out. But yeah, there are probably countless courses that 549 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: would be badass. I do think an underrated part is 550 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: can you get fans into the site? Does it fit 551 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: for fans? Because La Country Club actually kind of did, 552 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: but the membership was like, we ain't letting, we ain't 553 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: letting the pores on this course. Randos ain't stepping foot 554 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: on here. And your Boy's probably the most prestigious course 555 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: I've ever played. And I got some direct orders before 556 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: we showed up of like six things like these are 557 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: the dues and don'ts, and then once you got there, 558 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: it's actually a little more chill. Like after we played, 559 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: we had beers in the clubhouse. It was it wasn't 560 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: as stiff as you think. But the members as a whole, 561 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let people just on the course, and 562 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: that's I don't think it's any different than a lot 563 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: of these tracks. People don't realize, like August does not 564 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: open twelve months a year. I think for the membership, 565 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: it's it's only opened a small percentage of the year, 566 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: five or six months. So these courses, for most of us, 567 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: we view it like, yeah, play whenever we want. It's 568 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: not really like that a lot of places, especially depending 569 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: on the weather. Been listening three and now Big Dolphins 570 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: Fan and Big Golf in curious what's in the golf bag? 571 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: Can you go through in detail what you carry play with. 572 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: I saw this when I was getting ready for the 573 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: show because I take screenshots so it's easy to bang 574 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: out the mail bag. That might be a good video 575 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: I actually got. It's in the garage, but it's called 576 00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: the it's a Bushnell foresight, so it's not it's in 577 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: the track man world. It's not. I mean it was not. 578 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: I mean track Man's like twenty grand. This was eighteen 579 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: hundred or whatever. But every time I go to the 580 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: range now, I take this thing with me and I 581 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: just see how far I hit it, and especially with driver, 582 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: you see how far how hard your ball speed is. 583 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: It's incredible change my life, even though the ball doesn't 584 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: go any straighter, but you can't go to the driving 585 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: range without it. That might be a pretty good YouTube video. 586 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: I might have to bang that out sometime this summer. 587 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: I gotta get back on the golf courses. I have 588 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: it on camera. Question for the mailbag, do you think 589 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on Ludwig to win a 590 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: major this year? I know he's still young, but he's 591 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: talked about to be the next face of the tour. 592 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: He's twenty five, and many other players on tour right 593 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: now had better success at the same age. Scotti is 594 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: also only twenty eight. I don't see him topping him 595 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: anytime soon. Huge fan of the game, but I feel 596 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: like he will be another guy who doesn't live up 597 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: to the high. I still think he's a great player 598 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: who will have success. I just think the conversation he's 599 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: in right now is a little premature. I think that's 600 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: natural in sports. I mean, I think that's true in football. 601 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean, before he ever played a snap, we had 602 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams the top ten quarterback. 603 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 3: You know. 604 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: I think Jayden Daniels one season we have him as 605 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. It's it's just our I mean, 606 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: it's it was crazy like Jokics, they did the opposite. 607 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: They kept beating ups, like guys, have you guys watched 608 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: this guy play and it took him like multiple MVPs 609 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: and playing in all these games. People like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 610 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: he's awesome. But it's hard to prove yourself. I mean, 611 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: people are nitpicking. I know, he just tore his achilles, 612 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: But Jason Tatum won a championship. People are like, how 613 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: good is he? You know, Jalen. It happens with our athletes. 614 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 3: So I. 615 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: Think it's just part for the course. And in golf, 616 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, you can make a lot of money winning 617 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: a tournament here and there, finishing high and just rake 618 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: in eight to ten million dollars a year on the 619 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 1: course every year and whatever. Probably I'm just guessing five 620 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: off when you're making fifteen to twenty million dollars every 621 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: single year and you look back over a ten year span, 622 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: you're like, I was, I made a ton of money, 623 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: but maybe I didn't win a major. And we've seen 624 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: a lot of guys over the years. You know, Sergio 625 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: Garcia and Adam Scott were two of the best players 626 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour for a long period of time. 627 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: They were elite talents, elite and it took them late 628 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: in their careers to win a major. Right, So, I mean, 629 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: Justin Rose is one of the great talents of his era, 630 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: and his era spans multiple errors. He's got one major. 631 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: So it's you can be an like all time great strong. 632 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: You can be a great player. And if you're a 633 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: betting man and I think Ludwig, like you said, stud 634 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: is he more likely to have like an Adam Scott 635 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: Justin Rose type career or is he more likely to 636 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: be Scottie Scheffler. You'd say he's probably more likely to 637 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: be like Adam Scott. And there's nothing wrong with that. 638 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: You fly in private jets, you live in multiple big houses. 639 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: Like his career is gonna go great, but I mean, 640 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: the chance is he's just gonna beat everybody constantly. You 641 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: could not say that now but then once it happens 642 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: like I don't know if four or five years ago 643 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: you would have said that about Bryson, and then Bryson 644 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: figured it out. Now, Bryson was younger when he came out. 645 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, here's a good example with Bryson. Let's 646 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: just use the top three guys in this Bryson, Rory, 647 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: and Scotty. If it was the NFL or the NBA, 648 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: those guys would one be number one picks. Bryson would 649 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: have been like a Cooper Flagger, a Caleb Williams ton 650 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: of hype more than even Rory. To me, Bryson would 651 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: have been one of the most hyped collegiate golfers coming 652 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: out to the pros if it was a team sport 653 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: in a long time. I would say Scotty would have 654 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 1: been a pretty big one too, But so would Ludvig. 655 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: Like Ludwig, if you put him in use that exam 656 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: sample is a number one overall pick. Right, so's Colin 657 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: Morikawa and Victor Hovlin. Like golf's heart. The golf is 658 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: because you can dominate and play well and finish fourth 659 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: a lot. And he did win a tournament this year. 660 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: Is he gonna win a major this year. I mean, 661 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: based on the way he's playing. Like to me, he's 662 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: a stay away right now and I love gambling on him, 663 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: but he's just a little Squorely. 664 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 3: Blending Vice's signature dynamic storytelling with the high octane world 665 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 3: of sports, Vice Sports brings an exciting and diverse range 666 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 3: of programming that goes beyond the game, catch action pack, 667 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 3: live events, and exclusive sports documentaries and profiles only on 668 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 3: Vice TV. 669 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: At what point does the Ryder Cup start building for 670 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: the future and bring in some young guys who might 671 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: not be at the top of the rankings. Young players 672 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: have been huge for Europe, like Ludwig McIntyre, the Hoyguards, 673 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: and it helps them get used to the environment and 674 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: pressure and sets them up for future success. I personally 675 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: would much rather see Matt McNeely, Novak or Ben Griffin 676 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: than someone like Wyndham Clark, Glover or Harmon. I agree 677 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: with you. I do think that decision is easier to 678 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: make if you're like an old captain, if you're like 679 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: Jim Furick or you know, Phil Mickelson. I know he's 680 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: not a captain or probably will ever be now with 681 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: LIV stuff, but a guy like that in his fifties, 682 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: who's well established. Keegan Bradley is not going to be 683 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: thinking about any of that. You know, I think this 684 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: is the wrong captain for that mindset. Keegan Bradley is 685 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: not going to be caught up in we need this 686 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: guy to get reps for the next three Ryder Cups. 687 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: He is going to pick this team like Belichick sets 688 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 1: the fifty three for a playoff game. All that matters 689 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: is winning this playoff game. All Malcolm Butler stood on 690 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: the side. I'm mad you. I mean, Keagan is going 691 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: to be thinking so short term and rightfully, so I 692 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: don't blame him because he wins this. He's a legend. 693 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, so he's thinking less about you know. Was 694 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: it Potty Harrington the European Ryder Cup captain? Was it 695 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: the President's Cup? Whoever was the whenever Zach Johnson got 696 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: his ass kicked? Like Zach Johnson would have been a 697 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: good guy to be, like, let's pick some r Keagan 698 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: is not going to do that. Zero chance. I'm drawing 699 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: a correlation between Tiger and Michael. People say MJ's era 700 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: was the golden age of the NBA and golf. Certainly 701 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: hasn't had a star reach, hasn't had a star reach 702 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: Tiger's level of fame since his prime. I would agree 703 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: to follow mj The NBA had guys like Kobe, Lebron 704 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: and Steph to take up the mantle post Michael. What's 705 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: your take on how golf has dealt with its post 706 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: Tiger evolution? Do you feel the players taking the reins 707 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: can be icons of the sport like Kobe, Lebron and 708 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: Steph love the show. Okay, we're gonna end on this. 709 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: I think it is very, very difficult to get to 710 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: the stature like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are all 711 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: time outliers. If you did a mount rushmore of most famous, 712 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: most accomplished athletes, you could argue those two guys in 713 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: the history of America. You could argue that both of 714 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: them should be on it. So it's like they there 715 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: aren't many before and there won't be many after, even 716 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: like Kobe wasn't Michael, Like I don't know anyone in 717 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: my life, Like in my actual life, it says Lebron 718 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: over Michael. I love Steph and he's a way more 719 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: enjoyable watch than Lebron for me. But like he's just 720 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: not quite that. And I think all those guys, though, 721 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: like you said, are huge and they're worldwide. I think 722 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: the closest thing the tour has to that is Rory. 723 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,280 Speaker 1: And I think when you look back at the history 724 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: of the game in my life in golf, you'd say 725 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer is right. I think he's right up there 726 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: with Tiger is the most famous golfer of all time. 727 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: But a huge part of his fame is like the business, right, 728 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, the drink. Can I get an Arnold Palmer? 729 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: I mean it's like can I get a Jack and Coke? 730 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: Can I get a Tito soda? I mean it's when 731 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: you have a drink. Call anyone listening that's in the 732 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: beer or beverage business. That's a powerful thing. Like one 733 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: of the things that makes Tito so popular obviously it's 734 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,919 Speaker 1: good vodka. It's easy to say, and I was taught 735 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: this a long time ago, like can I get a 736 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: Tito soda? It's just very very easy to say. I mean, 737 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: the easiest to say of all time is a Jack 738 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: and coke. I'm not a big whiskey guy, but it's 739 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: hard to beat that, right, And Arnold Palmer became iconic 740 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: that way, and I would say Greg Norman, while he's 741 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: known for choking and I mean he's one of the 742 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: great talents of all time, his clothing line took them 743 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: to another level. So when you look at the guys now, 744 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: I would say Rory is pretty iconic right now. And 745 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: he's an international star. He's closer to me to like 746 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: a soccer star or one of the tennis stars like 747 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: Rafa Nadal or I'm not putting Rory over Messi, but 748 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: those guys transcend the countries, and that's what Rory has done. 749 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: And I would say Bryson, using some of those examples 750 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: of like you know, when you think Steph Curry, you 751 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: think three pointers, when you think Kobe, you think Mamba 752 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: like things are associated with them, I would say Bryson 753 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: with the YouTube thing is really worked for him. So 754 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: to me, those guys are bigger than Scotty in terms 755 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: of the way you're saying. But I think anyone beside 756 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: Rory has a long way to go, and I don't 757 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: think any of them are clipsing Tiger. I think we 758 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: would be hard pressed to see anything even remotely close 759 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: to Tiger, Like we're not seeing another Michael Jordan, but 760 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: we have seen, like you said, things that are enormous. 761 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I think by far the biggest is Rory. 762 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: You know, speed hasn't been good in forever and then 763 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: even like like the Xanders and the Jts, like it's 764 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: not even in the same world. So I think Rory 765 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:30,359 Speaker 1: in the Bryson start them on the internet as has 766 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 1: taken them to another level. And to me, if Bryson 767 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 1: can win, you know, I think, say Rory and Bryson, 768 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, Bryson's the same amount of majors as Scotty. 769 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: If it's all said and done, Bryson can win like 770 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: seven or eight majors, Like it'd be a really big deal. 771 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: And if you told me right now, like who would 772 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: you bet on winning more majors over the next five years, 773 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: Bryson or Scotty, that's not an easy thing to answer. 774 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: I think that's a coin flip and it wouldn't shock 775 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: me at all if Bryson wins more and who knows 776 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: whenever ends ends like and they get back together. So 777 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: I also think it's easier to make superstars. You know, 778 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: It's like John Elway, Joe Montana, Brett Faarr, Peyton, Manning, 779 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, you know basketball now, 780 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: Jokich and Luca and Cooper Flag. It's kind of easy 781 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: to make stars in team sports, Shoeyotani, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, 782 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 1: like it's just Aaron Judge. Golf's a little harder, you know, 783 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: because you can't a huge part of the brand sometimes 784 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 1: is like the team. So it's like, Damn, I played 785 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: for the Yankees and I'm a star. I play for 786 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 1: the Lakers and I'm a star. Right in golf, Like, 787 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: you gotta produce, you gotta dominate at the highest level. 788 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: And that's what Jack did, That's what Arnie did, That's 789 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: what Tiger did, and that's what Phil did for a 790 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: long time. And I think Rory, Bryce and Scotty. Scotty's 791 00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: got a lot. I don't think Scotty would ever be 792 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 1: on the level of the other two, but I think 793 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: Rory and Bryson can be pretty freaking big when it's 794 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: all said and done. Thanks for listening. Enjoy the golf tournament. 795 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: The volume
