24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: wanted to talk some golf as we just finished up

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: the West Coast Swing, which makes me sad because I

26
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: think the stretch of Pebble Beach to the waste management

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: and then obviously riv is easily non major the best

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: stretch of the year, and it was kind of a disaster.

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: So we'll dive into that. You know, the the big

30
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: controversy of last weekend was Jordan Speth getting decued. A

31
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: lot of old school big jays. You know, it's got

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: a baseball feel to it, you know, defending the decision.

33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts there. I'm gonna jump into Tiger

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Woods off the top because obviously he didn't even make

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: it twenty seven holes and a couple other things. Live

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, I have some thoughts on gambling on golf

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: as well. I've definitely changed my strategy. I get a

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: lot of people dming me about what they should do,

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: how they should approach it, and I think I've made

40
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: a dramatic change. So the game plan, as you know,

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: we get into more of the Florida Swing the players

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: than obviously the majors. We're gonna have some golf podcasts

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and some ideas for guests and just kind of mix

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: it up, maybe even me out on the course screwing

45
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: around and see where this thing can go. Let's start

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: with Tiger because the thing that I like to me,

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: Tiger and Michael Jordan have this ability when you know,

48
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: I felt this when I watched Michael Jordan's docuseries The

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Last Dance. Whenever I see a picture of him, the

50
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: same thing with Tiger Woods, whenever I watch highlights of

51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: early on in his career, or even when he makes

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: comebacks like tries to play this weekend, it strikes that

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: part of me that's kind of dead, having just done

54
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: this for a living now for a long time. That

55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: still makes me feel like a little kid that still

56
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: has like that inner fan that's fifteen years old and

57
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: just loves sports with every ounce of his body, that

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: is not jaded by money and just everything that comes

59
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: along with the business that is professional sports. And I

60
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: think officially came to grips with I've held out hope.

61
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I was even tempted to sprinkle a little bit on him.

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: One hundred and ten to one might have put a

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: little on him top twenty. I'm not gambling on tiger

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Woods anymore. Obviously that wasn't a smart thing to do

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: to begin with. But I think now two years ago

66
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't finish tournaments. I mean, he couldn't finish the Masters.

67
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Last year he didn't even play in the US Open,

68
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the PGA. He couldn't finish the Open was a disaster.

69
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Then comes then he gets the surgery, which a big

70
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: part of the surgery to like fuse to fix the

71
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: ankle was for more long term ability to move around

72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: and just be able to walk better, because we saw

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: last year there were points in time like after ten holes,

74
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: it was like, someone, get this guy a golf cart.

75
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: And I've always said, like, I understand he has a

76
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of pride, and I appreciate that, like I appreciate

77
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: any human being that takes a lot of pride in

78
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: what they do and doesn't want to give in to life.

79
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: And usually that's age. But sometimes you got to wave

80
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: the white flag and he's never going to take a card.

81
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: He'll just retire before and just never play before he

82
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: ever gets in a golf cart on PGA, you know,

83
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: in tournaments, not that that's even allowed, but I do

84
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: think that they would figure out a way for him,

85
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: which is ironic because back in the day, his college

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: teammate Casey Martin Tiger was one of the guys against it.

87
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: So its convoluted every angle of this thing. But the

88
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: reality is is that Tiger Woods could not make it

89
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven holes at Riff. He'd be like, well, he

90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: got influenza. What the hell's influenza. I know he's sick.

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: But on Thursday, probably and I watched the majority of

92
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: his round, I tweeted out, probably like tenth or eleventh hole.

93
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: I actually think physically he looks a lot better than

94
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: he did last year. He was just operating really smoothly.

95
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Then he gets to the eighteenth and he shanks the ball,

96
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: which is probably the most relatable thing Tiger's done on

97
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: a golf course beside quitting in the middle of a round,

98
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: which we all can relate to in a long long time.

99
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, Shank, I didn't even think it

100
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: was that weird, Like shit, it happens. Justin Thomas won

101
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: a major when he shanked it on Sunday at the

102
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: PGA Championship a couple years ago, and then Tiger was

103
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: asked about it after the round and said, well, my

104
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: back has been spasming the last couple round or the

105
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: last couple of holes before that shank. It was hard

106
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: for me to know to activate those back muscles, and

107
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: Hosele came first and obviously shanked it. I think we

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: have to come to grips with like this guy's holding

109
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: on for dear life. And if it wasn't like his deep,

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: deep desire to compete, because I think he's pretty bored,

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: he probably shouldn't be playing. I mean, this is a

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: guy that's held together by fuse backs, fuse knees, and

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: fused ankles. His game actually is not terrible. He's not

114
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: a very good putter anymore, but relative to just some

115
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: average PGA tour pros that are playing on a weekly basis,

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: he hits it like them. But I just think physically

117
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: his body's given up on him. A buddy of mine,

118
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz, that used to play in the NFL, text

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: me when the picture went viral of the ambulance that

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: was parked behind riv Like, what the hell is going

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: on with this guy? And I think what makes Tiger

122
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: pretty unique is his body's put together like he played

123
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL in the nineteen eighties, except he's a

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: pro golfer and the injuries he's had to wear and tear,

125
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: how hard he trains and works out. I spent somehow

126
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: I ended up on YouTube. The algorithm spit me to

127
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: the Stevie Williams. He did an interview with some Australian guy.

128
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Really good interview was like an hour and a half long,

129
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: and there are different points in time in that interview

130
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: where Stevie was just harpening about how hard Tiger was

131
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: training with the Navy Seals and how bad that was

132
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: for his body, on top of how he was already

133
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: training really hard in the gym. And you just watch

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: a guy now, you can tell me it's influenza. And

135
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: it's not that I don't believe that he was sick.

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: A lot of guys at this tournament were sick. When

137
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: you tell me your back spasming, he's not able to

138
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: play like he once was able to. I have no

139
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: faith whenever he plays in a tournament now that he's

140
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: going to be able to finish, not that he can

141
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: make the cut or like play seventy two holes a golfer,

142
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: but like his body won't give out. Could be whole ten,

143
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: it could be whole fifty five. But I think we

144
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: have to come to grips with and this is the

145
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: problem with the splintering of the sport. One thing the

146
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: PGA Tour has in their back pocket is like we

147
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: can roll Tiger out to riv to Pebble, probably not

148
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: pebble because's too cold, but memorial to just some of

149
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the big tournaments. Like I don't think you really have

150
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: that in your back pocket anymore. You can't rely on

151
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: this guy. Mickelson may suck. He may not be any

152
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: good anymore, which is crazy because he just won a

153
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: major a couple years ago, but the couple of years

154
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: before that and what we've seen after beside the Masters

155
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: last year, which is a very unique tournament, he's just

156
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: not any good. He's not. And let's face it, a

157
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of times, as you get old in any sport,

158
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: even a sport like golf where you can play a

159
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: lot longer, it's hard to compete at the highest level.

160
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I heard Billy horsse will say this on No Laying

161
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Ups podcast. He said that the average age when he

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: came on the when he got his tour card back

163
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: in like twenty thirteen, was like thirty four years old.

164
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: He said. The average age on the PGA Tour now

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: is like a little under twenty eight years old. So

166
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: in a decade, the average age on tour has gotten

167
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: dramatically younger. It's pretty clear that the youth on the

168
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: PGA Tour in their twenties, the amount of talent that's

169
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: coming from college on a weekly basis, I understand it's

170
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: it's probably one of the easier tournaments for random to win.

171
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: But a fucking amateur won a PGA tournament this year,

172
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: and it's not like he beat me and you in

173
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: that tournament. He was playing in the final group with

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Sam Burns and Justin Thomas, two guys that were on

175
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. So the sport like when Tiger showed

176
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: up and listen, I played golf at a very very

177
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: young age and followed the PGA Tour if my dad

178
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: liked it. A lot of the bodies were forty year

179
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: old fat guys in the eighties and nineties, Obviously the

180
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: high end guys like Nick Faldo and Greg Norman, you know,

181
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: and Paul Aisinger and Davis Love the Third like the

182
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: high end guys, but there were a lot of guys

183
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: on tour that look like the random dude you would

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: see buying a steak at your local grocery store. That's

185
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: not really the case anymore. How many guys if you

186
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: just watched a little bit of Rib this week or

187
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: Waste Management last week, did you see they are kind

188
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: of fat, lumpy and don't look semi athletic. They don't

189
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: really exist like I would even say John Rahm's body

190
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: type in twenty twenty four is an outlier. So when

191
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: you look at what Tiger has to deal with the

192
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: talent and the competition, I just don't think his body

193
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: can keep up. And when you're not able to play,

194
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: and iron sharpens iron, I don't care what you do.

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: If you podcast, the only way to get better at

196
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: podcasting is the podcast. If you sell cars, the only

197
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: way to get better at selling cars is to fucking

198
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: get on the lot and sell. It's how you hone

199
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: your craft. And I listen, I'm gonna follow Charlie Woods's

200
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: career very closely, just like I'm sure a lot of

201
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: people are. But it's hard to get ready to play

202
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: a DECKI and Zalatorus and Jason Day and all these

203
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: guys that are playing on a weekly basis on the

204
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: PGA Tour when you're just playing Charlie for Champion of

205
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: the day back at home in Florida. It's not like

206
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: Tiger doesn't know that, but his body won't let him,

207
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: and it's just it's kind of sad. It's starting to

208
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like Willie May's on the Mets,

209
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see it go out this way.

210
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: But that's just usually the way it ends. It usually

211
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: doesn't end like John Elway holding up the Lombardi Trophy

212
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: to end his career. Most careers end by kind of

213
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: getting drug through the mud, kind of looking like a

214
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: shell of your once former self. And that's Tiger's career.

215
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Let's face it, his life has been fucking insane, So

216
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: how is he gonna have a normal ending to his career?

217
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: And that's it's really starting to get a little rocky.

218
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the West Coast Swing, because let's face

219
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: it, it was kind of a disaster. It has not gone well.

220
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: This PGA Tour season, unlike last year, has really felt

221
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: like we'll get in a live in a second. They

222
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: clearly miss all those guys you can't have in a

223
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: sport that is so predicated on star players, a lot

224
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: like the NBA. If I took the top ten NBA players,

225
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: I couldn't remove five of them and expect the league

226
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: to do just as well. It would have a dramatic impact.

227
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: If I just take Giannis, I take Steph, I take Dame,

228
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: and I take Jimmy Butler. I'm just picking some names

229
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: and I leave you a couple sweet guys. But you'll

230
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: still have a league, You'll still be able to compete.

231
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: People will still watch, but it won't be the same.

232
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: And anyone that knows nos. So when you watch these tournaments,

233
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: you got god, something's missing. I mean, at RIFF, the

234
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: defending champion is John Rohm. You can't just lose John

235
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Rahm and have it not impact who you are as

236
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: a business. DJ Kopka all these guys they would normally

237
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: be at RIFF. So the leaderboard still looks solid. Xalatorus

238
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: can't lay Xander a dec he was flying up. Jason

239
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Day was floating around. I mean, these guys are major champion,

240
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: high end guys, but you feel it on a weekly basis.

241
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: And one thing, you know, in golf, in football, you

242
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: basically can play in anything. In golf, you can't. I

243
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: was playing on Saturday and I was with this guy, Mike,

244
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: and He's like, I hate playing golf in the cold.

245
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I do too. If it's not sunny and

246
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm not on a golf trip and I'm not in

247
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: Bandon Dunes, like I ain't playing, I'm not trying to

248
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: have heat warmers in my pants so I can feel

249
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: my hands. Obviously, in pro golf, you play in whatever

250
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: conditions that will allow you to play on a given week.

251
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: But when you look at the last three weeks, Pebble

252
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: got shortened to fifty four holes because of this crazy

253
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: California storm. There's nothing you can do. But we would

254
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: have had the opportunity to see Wyndham, Clark and Ludwig

255
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Oberg be paired in the final round on Sunday at Pebble,

256
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Like that would have been a pretty big deal, but

257
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: it didn't get to happen. They gave Wyndham, you know,

258
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: they named him the champion because they weren't going to

259
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: be able to play potentially for a couple days, which

260
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: I understand, nothing you can do. The waste management was

261
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: an utter disaster because of weather. I went to Vegas

262
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that week. It was freezing in Arizona. I mean freezing cold. Obviously,

263
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: the weather impacted the tournament, impacted the tea times, impacted delays,

264
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: which impacted the people. They set a record for people unconscious.

265
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I talked about this on Three and Out the other day.

266
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: You can't promote a party and then get mad when

267
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: people party. You can't promote the drinking and the fun.

268
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Didn't expect in twenty twenty four for it not to

269
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: get a little out of control, especially when you factor

270
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: in delays. The flow of people playing is not there,

271
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: and it clearly just got a little outrageous. And let's

272
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: face it, when you have Charlie Hoffman, who I remember

273
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: when I went to cal Pauly in college. I worked

274
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: for a couple summers as a cart boy at San

275
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: Louis Country Club and they used to have this tournament

276
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: called the Straight Down. It's a clothing company Charlie wears it.

277
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: And Charlie at the time was a really, really young

278
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: PGA Tour player and used to play in it, and

279
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: I've just from the outside followed his career kind of loosely.

280
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's a fringe PGA Tour player for twenty

281
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: plus years. He made a decent amount of money playing

282
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Nick Taylor, who's a good player, but international Canadian. It's

283
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: just going up against the super Bowl. Like even I

284
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: didn't watch the last three or four holes. I was

285
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: watching the pregame for the super Bowl. So there's a reason.

286
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago at Tori, they set up that tournament

287
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: to end before the NFC and AFT Championship games. The

288
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: waste management on purpose sets up their tournament on Sunday

289
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: to end early so it doesn't carry over with the

290
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But sometimes weather gets in the way. And

291
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,119
Speaker 1: then last week at Rive to Me the field was impacted.

292
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: And these signature events where there's a lot of money.

293
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean they were playing for four million dollars. I

294
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: don't care how rich you are, playing four days of

295
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: golf for four million dollars. Last time I check, I'd

296
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: be a million dollars around. So that's a pretty big deal.

297
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: That's we talk a lot about liv like that's about

298
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: think that's what the winner gets there, four million dollars

299
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot of coin for one weekend at golf tour

300
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: feels weird right now. It feels like it's in a

301
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: weird spot. And I don't really know what you can

302
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: do because here's the problem, and let's dive into live.

303
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Is the potential deal the animosity still but between the

304
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: two sides. I was just scrolling Instagram like an hour

305
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: ago and Greg Norman's tweeting about owgr about how none

306
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: of his guys are on the list. None of us

307
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: at this point in time give a shit about any

308
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: of it. We just want to see all these guys

309
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: play in the same tournaments. We know we're going to

310
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: get him in the majors, but can't we get him

311
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: four or five times other than that a year? Cause

312
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: you know who's really losing Not the guys on the

313
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: tour they're making a lot of money, clearly, Not the

314
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: guys that live they are making a ton of money.

315
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: Is us, the people who like me. Played golf early

316
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday, teetof at seven thirty, was home by eleven fifteen,

317
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: sat on my couch, wanted to watch RIV. Watched all

318
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: of RIV on Saturday Sunday, same thing. Went to the

319
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: gym in the morning, watched the UH because I had

320
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: money on Zalaturus and a couple guys watched RIV. I

321
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: want to watch these guys play each other. I want

322
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: to watch DJ and Kopka against Hedeki and Xander and

323
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: can't leay in will Zelaturs and Bryson not happening now,

324
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: And it honestly feels like it's not gonna happen next year,

325
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: so in a weird way, and again this is just

326
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: educated guess is that things can change at the drop

327
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: of the hat. But it feels like we're years away.

328
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: Beside the majors of getting these guys all together at once,

329
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: I no longer care of, like, oh live they got

330
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand people watching, no one gives a shit.

331
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: Or look at the tour they got two million people.

332
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't care. It doesn't matter, None of it matters.

333
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: When are these guys gonna play together again? When can

334
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: I turn on the TV? It's like, Oh, Xalatorus and

335
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: Bryson are paired together, Oh, Xander and Koepka in the

336
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: final group. Oh, justin Thomas going at it right now

337
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: with John Rahm. Oh, look at fucking Cam Smith, cam

338
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: Smith back in the action doesn't even feel like we're

339
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: remotely close to that. And whenever I hear these players

340
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: talk about they need they need to be repercussion for

341
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: leaving or guys like let him back, none of us

342
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: care about that anymore, Guys, none of us do those

343
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: of us. And there are you know, three or four

344
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: million max who are willing to watch non masters on

345
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. And I say three or four million max,

346
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's max. But if you got a real,

347
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: really good tournament, like you would get two and a

348
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: half three million people to watch. Right now, that's not

349
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: the case. You do not have enough high end talent, period,

350
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: point blank, and a story like you're just missing guys,

351
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: I can't remove this much talent if you think about it.

352
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about the world golf rankings.

353
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Just think about the ten most important players, not Tiger Phil,

354
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, guys under forty two professional golf landscape. I'd

355
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: say lives five of them, dj Ron Kopka, Bryson. I

356
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't quite put cam Smith there though he's a major champion,

357
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: but clearly he would have been right in that mold

358
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: if he would have played more tournaments than matter. Jakee.

359
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Neeman won Riviera three years ago, and I wouldn't put

360
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: him in that. But in terms of talent, like he's

361
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: a top twenty five thirty player in the world talent wise,

362
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: he just can't take that much star studded away from Scheffler,

363
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: Rory J. T. Speith and expected to not have a

364
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: major impact. And the other thing is, and I say

365
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: this all the time, a huge part of sports is

366
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: creating emotion. Right when you watch the Super Bowl, You're like,

367
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: I fucking can't stand Kyle Shanahan. For god, I'm root

368
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan to win this, or you know, Kelsey's

369
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of driving me nuts, right, you

370
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: want to be moved emotionally, positively or negatively. Golf is

371
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: just pure. This guy's pretty good guy. Yeah, good guy,

372
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: doesn't say much, kind of boring, yeah can't lee. He

373
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: plays kind of slow. He's kind of boring to watch,

374
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: but you know, he's just kind of big ego, smart guy.

375
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: But he doesn't do anything crazy like Patrick Reed. He cheats.

376
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Reid will cheat. His wife is on Twitter talking

377
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: shit about everybody, and he cheats Bryce and d Chambeau

378
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: does weird shit constantly and hits the ball like four

379
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards. You can't remove these characters, like this is

380
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: a television show. That's all this is entertainment, and you

381
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: remove some of the most important people from the entertainment,

382
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: you got a problem. Obviously, Seinfeld is Jerry, Elaine, Kramer,

383
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: and George, and you could say Jerry or Kramer, George,

384
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: whoever is the most important. But I can't take two

385
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: of the four of them away and still have the

386
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: same show. It's kind of important, So I don't know.

387
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. Another thing I don't

388
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: feel great about is the conversation around Jordan Spieth, who

389
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: was dcute for not signing a scorecard. And if you're

390
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: watching this, if you're a big golf junkie, you know

391
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: he's sick. He you know he might have had diarrhea

392
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: or something so ran away. You got to sign your scorecard,

393
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: a test to your score, and you know your playing

394
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: partner keeps your score. You rip this part off the

395
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: bottom and you can match it up and make sure

396
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: so there's not any mistakes. Even though those of us

397
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: watching the golf or those of us falling online knew

398
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: what he shot. We knew exactly what he shot. If

399
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: you were at RIV and you shot sixty nine, you

400
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: shot sixty nine. Whether you kept your score at sixty

401
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: seven or seventy five, you shot sixty nine, one problem.

402
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: And I listened to a decent amount of golf content

403
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: like the no laying up guys. I just follow a

404
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: lot of golf guys on social media. They have a,

405
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: I would say, a baseball feel to them as people

406
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: that are just really really close to the sport and

407
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: are holding on to some of these ideals from past years.

408
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: And I understand part of golf is integrity calling penalties

409
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: on yourself. It's very unique that way. Like Kyle Shanahan

410
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: or Andy Reid would never look at the referee and

411
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: be like, my right guard just held you should throw

412
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: a flag. But in golf, like you can call yourself

413
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: for a penalty, right you tell your playing partner like

414
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm out of bounce here? Could I someone check?

415
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: You would never throw a you know, a challenge flag

416
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: on your own wide receiver that he dropped the ball.

417
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: We understand, and I think sometimes whenever I hear media

418
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: talk about like this is how ye life lessons teaching

419
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: our children. This is professional sports. Like I said, Riviera,

420
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: the winner got four million dollars. I played in a

421
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: lot of high school matches. You didn't get any money.

422
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: College matches, no cash. So if you want to keep score,

423
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: because there's no technology to follow, everyone there totally understand it.

424
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: What about the corn Ferry Tour, they can keep their

425
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: score too. But at Riviera on the PGA Tour in

426
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Speith that he fucked up a number on a scorecard.

427
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: I think he said it was a four when it

428
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: was actually a three, might have been vice versa. Can't

429
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: even keep track of this time? Who cares this notion

430
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: that it's anything other than archaic When we have the

431
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: technology and we literally know his score that he should

432
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: get decued. What about a two shot penalty, how about

433
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: no penalty? How about no penalty, how about like, hey,

434
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: there was a mistake, this is your score. We know

435
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: what he shot. There's no debate, there is no argument,

436
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: like no one's like, well he might have shot sixty eight.

437
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: I think he shot seventy. We know the exact number

438
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: he shot. So to dque him to me is insanity.

439
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with anyone gambling on him.

440
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with like progressive golf fans.

441
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: This is just common fucking sense. If you don't want

442
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: to go to the store and you need food, guess

443
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: what we have now instacart, door dash ability to get

444
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: it delivered. Fifteen twenty thirty years ago, you would have

445
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: had to get in your car and go. Twenty thirty

446
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: years ago, totally get it. Greg Norman had to keep

447
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Nick Faldo's score. We didn't have the technology. You didn't

448
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: feel as comfortable about some of the walking scores. I

449
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: understand in twenty twenty four, at the highest level of golf,

450
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: especially events like the designated ones, where there's you know,

451
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: a lot of eyeball, smaller field. I'm sorry that this

452
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: is just not needed. I'm not saying you can't keep

453
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: your own score. I'm not even saying to change what

454
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: they do, but it shouldn't be necessary to account for

455
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: what he shot. And I hear this argument. Well, you know,

456
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: in basketball or football or baseball, there are official scores.

457
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: There's only one ball in play, there's only one game

458
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: going on. In golf, there are people everywhere, yeah, and

459
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: there are people following them everywhere. Rules officials, official scorekeepers

460
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: and now the track man data. It's literally following them

461
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: as someone that gambles. If I can't watch and I'm

462
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: out and about because i gotta spend quality time with

463
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: my loved ones, and I'm seeing if Jason Day is

464
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: gonna make the top ten. I can watch his shot

465
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: tracker on the app. A lot of people talk shit

466
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: about the app, and I understand it, but like, I

467
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: know exactly where he is on a given hole on

468
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: the app with straight lines or curve lines, ideally straight.

469
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: We gotta get better. Like I'll give baseball credit. They changed.

470
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: They stopped listening to the Bob Costas of the world.

471
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: We don't give a fuck if you don't want to

472
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: runner on second in extra innings. Not a soul wants

473
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: to watch this thing go to eighteen innings. Let's end

474
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: this thing. We need to change this shift. Yeah, it's

475
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: cool for all the elites in the analytical box to

476
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: be like, he'll never hit a double when you're sitting there.

477
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Not fun as us the viewer to watch. It doesn't

478
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: make any sense that when every single person knows his score,

479
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: playing partner me on the couch, the actual tournament directors

480
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: that he writes down the wrong number and he gets

481
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: kicked out. I understand that's been the rules forever. He

482
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: broke the current rules. We have to acknowledge the rules

483
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: don't make sense. Whenever I see a guy he got

484
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: a dui, I'm my god, how waste it was? He? Well,

485
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: he was just he had marijuana in the car, so

486
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: they arrested him. He actually didn't get a dui. That

487
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: happened at Darius Rucord the other day. Like what you

488
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: get in trouble for marijuan? How does this make sense?

489
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: How's this not just universally legal at this point in

490
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: time in our life. I can't take you seriously as

491
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: a state when you haven't legalized marijuana. He got arrested,

492
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: he had a joint in the car. Oh shit, he

493
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: was rebel. So I just this needs to be changed.

494
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, Scottie Scheffler is an elite player.

495
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: He is a special, special player. His ball striking numbers

496
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: parallel some of the best Tiger Woods numbers. Who's clearly,

497
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, the best player by a mile. Ever,

498
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: the problem is he is one of the worst putters

499
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. And I was thinking about it. I

500
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: remember how of a buddy who was like really good

501
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: college player, tried to make it to the tour, obviously didn't,

502
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: played in some mini tour events, made it, played in

503
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: a couple PGA Tour events, and went to a lesson

504
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: with Butch Harmon and one thing, they just started picking

505
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: Butcher's brain about different players, and you know, Butch had

506
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: worked with everyone from DJ to Ricky, and they got

507
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: to speak and he basically said, listen, Jordan's never going

508
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: to dominate like he once did because he literally had

509
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: the hottest stretch on the greens in the history of golf.

510
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: And it's hard. I remember Hunter Mayhon told me a

511
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: long time ago that the thing that people don't understand

512
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: about Tiger, like truly in his peak, is he was

513
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: the best at literally everything. Hit the ball the farthest.

514
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: He had literally every shot, high, low, hook slices, you

515
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: name it. He was by far the best chipper when

516
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: he needed to do around the greens, and you never

517
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna miss when he had to make

518
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: a putt. Statistically, was he always quote unquote the best putter.

519
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but no one ever thought he was

520
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna miss when he needed to make it. Like even Kopka.

521
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen Brooks like I haven't looked at his stats.

522
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: I know this when Koepka is on and he's playing

523
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: in a major, his putting is phenomenal. Like I said,

524
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: it was speed won a bunch of majors because putting.

525
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: He was fucking awesome. Cam Smith, who before he went

526
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to live it looked like this guy because he was

527
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: an elite putter. I don't care how good of a

528
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: ball striker you are, you are never gonna sniff maximizing

529
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: your ability if you're an atrocious putter. And I look

530
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: this year, Sky Sheffer was having a good season T five,

531
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: T seventeen, T six, T three, T ten. I mean

532
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: he's probably win a couple of times, like he's gonna

533
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: make a ton of money. In two thousand, last year,

534
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: he was one hundred and sixty eighth in putting. Currently

535
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: he's one hundred and twenty eighth. There were multiple visuals

536
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: at Riviera of him screaming f bombs and throwing a

537
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: ball into the woods. When you watch him putt right now,

538
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: you not only don't think it's going in, you don't

539
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: even think it has a chance. And this is something

540
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: that can be fixed. Zalatorus, who I love will zeal

541
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: Taurus was the easiest guy to make fun of in

542
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: professional golf because his putting stroke took like seven different

543
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: angles before it hit the ball. It did like a circle,

544
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: took a couple of right angles, and then he finally

545
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: made contact and then he had back surgery, came back

546
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: long putter, and it just kind of looks normal. So listen,

547
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to be Brad faxon here, but Scheffler

548
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: is wasting. Like it does not last forever. You do

549
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: not just get to be the best ball striker in

550
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: the world for seven straight years. Not the way it's

551
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna work. I would say, best case for Scotty, this

552
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: lasts for five years. There's a season chance it lasts

553
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: for like one more after this, And to screw it

554
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: and just to like give all these tournaments away because

555
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: you can't make a putt to save your life seems

556
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to not even try anything else, try

557
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: a different putter. I was watching on Sunday they had

558
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Rory in the booth and Rory's like, you know, listen,

559
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm not one to give him advice because if he

560
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: got good at this point in time he'd beat us all.

561
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: But like, I'd try mallet putter and listen, I'm someone

562
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: that puts with a blade. I'm not a very good putter,

563
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: but like, what's the point of not mixing enough? Why

564
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: not try? I think we're gonna look back on these

565
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: two years as going that's one of the biggest wastes

566
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: of ball striking in the history of the game. And last,

567
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: but not least, I had some of you guys DM

568
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: me about gambling on golf and saying, you know, you

569
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: pick winners, and Hadecki came storming back last week and

570
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: you just bet on guys to win, and listen, I

571
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: like doing it too. You put one hundred dollars on

572
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: a guy forty to one and he's in the mix

573
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're like, I'm about to win four thousand

574
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: dollars and I've hit a couple of those. I've hit

575
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Max Homer before, I've hit DJ before, I've hit Justin

576
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: Thomas before. It's an exhilarating feeling. But if you pick

577
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: winners every single week, if you just take five hundred

578
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: dollars every single week and put one hundred dollars on

579
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: five guys, more than likely you're gonna lose five hundred

580
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: dollars on a weekly basis. One thing I've instituted this

581
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: year because of the DraftKings app is really really easy

582
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: to do, and it's changed my gambling strategy dramatically is

583
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: top fives and top tens. And I've already made probably

584
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: three or four thousand dollars because like and listen, you

585
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: can do it live too. Last week I live bet

586
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: was Zalataurus top five. I put like one hundred and

587
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: fifty dollars on them three and a half to one.

588
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: It was awesome, and I hit Jason Day top ten.

589
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: So I had I think one thousand dollars spread out

590
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: on the tournament and I won fourteen hundred dollars. So

591
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: I made four hundred bucks. But if I just would

592
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: have picked winners, I would not have picked to Decky Matsiama.

593
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: I would have lost. Just like at the Waste Management.

594
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: If I just would have picked winners, I would not

595
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: have picked Nick Taylor. The way to bet on golf,

596
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: even if you want to get aggressive, I don't care

597
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: what your units are, fifty bucks, ten bucks, one thousand dollars.

598
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Betting top tens is the way to go cause you

599
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: can get guys at thirty forty to one when their

600
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: odds are almost three or four to one to top ten,

601
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: and you can base Jason Day has been playing well

602
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: these last two years. He's had success at riv I

603
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: felt really really good about that. I would not have

604
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: bet Zalatorus before the tournament, but once the tournament's going on,

605
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: you see him playing really well. Hammered that my only

606
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: regret was not sprinkling on some to win, because at

607
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: one point in time on Saturday, you could have got

608
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: him like thirty five forty to one to win the tournament. Now,

609
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: but again, live betting guys even to win the tournament

610
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: can be difficult because you never know when a guy's

611
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna shoot sixty two to win. The way to gamble

612
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: golf if you want to get really aggressive top five,

613
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: but that leaves you some leeway. You don't need the

614
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: guy to win, like betting on Ludwig right now. There's

615
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: a chance Ludwig does not win a tournament this year

616
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: and has a fucking fantastic year, wins ten million dollars.

617
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: He might top ten basically every week, so just hammer

618
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: him to top ten if you want to sprinkle a

619
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: little on him to win. Sure, I'm someone who has

620
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: spent so much money the last i'd say three years

621
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: betting winners, and it's just not a great strategy where listen,

622
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: you're not guaranteed to hit a top five or top

623
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: ten either. It just gives you so much more breathing room,

624
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: and to me, the number one strategy for me to

625
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: gamble moving forward, Like I've put in thousands of dollars

626
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: on majors before, and the majority of that always went

627
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: to winners. Like I know this, I'm gonna place large

628
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: bets on the Masters for guys to top ten, the DJs,

629
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: the Koepka's, the Xalatoruses. Now, I'd be a hypocrite if

630
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: I didn't admit I did sprinkle a little on Xalatorus

631
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: thirty five to one to win the Masters. He's competed

632
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: well there before, and I just think that number is

633
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 1: gonna come down. But that's the strategy if you're gonna

634
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: gamble on golf, which I highly recommend. I gamble on

635
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: golf every single week, Top fives, top ten. Even if

636
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: you like a guy a little longrobs Hammer a top twenty,

637
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: the volume
