8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: fun to combine multiple bets from the same game parlay,

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: No big deal, NBA Steph Curry, Clay Thompson. That would

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: be what I would do. If you are new, just

00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Time to talk some golf p G A Tour and

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: leading into the legendary iconic Arnold Palmer. We'll dive into

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: a little Arnold Palmer right off the bat Bay Hill. Obviously,

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: it was a huge tournament last year when Bryson hit

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: it over the water, the moment where he put his

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: hands up, he's not playing. Have a couple of thoughts

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: on that. And then since we last talked, uh, Phil

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Mickelson has basically lost every endorser that he had, including

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: KPMG and Callaway. When I when I think Phil Mickelson,

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: I think accounting and I think Callaway. I mean that's that.

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: That was pretty wow. And Workday dropped him. He got

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: dropped by everybody. So it's it's been a rough you know,

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: ten days stretch for all for Lefty and of course

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: at Golo pod is the Instagram fire into those d

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: m s. Get your question answered here on the show.

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: We will also talk to Jason Sobel as we do

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: every week. I talked to him earlier today on Tuesday.

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: He's there. I think he I think he lives right there.

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: He had on the Arnold Palmer the logo. Uh, it's

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: hard not to smile. He has. He has a good

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: story about drinking Arnold Palmer's with Arnie and already just

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: called Arnold just called it an already give me an arty.

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I'm I'm a little more into the

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: John Dailies, but um yeah, man, just an absolute legend.

38

Speaker 1: UH with your with the d M s and we'll

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: dive in do low Pod. I wanted to start with

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer because as I've aged, when I was a kid,

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, besides like my dad, you just idolize athletes.

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: You know, you want to be like Barry Bonds or

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Steve Young. And then the older you get, you realized,

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, I can't hit home runs, you know I

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: can't throw touchdowns, and you change and your life changes.

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: You mature, and it definitely probably not as much into

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: my twenties, but definitely into my thirties. You know, I've

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: I've grown to idolize businessmen and great businessmen, forward thinking businessmen.

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Arnold Palmer just in the

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: universal respect he gets it in the golf community where

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: he's a where he's just an iconic figure, as Jack

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Nicholas said, he made golf cool. And let's face it,

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: in the fifties and the sixties, golf was not cool.

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Golf really before Tiger Woods wasn't elita sport. Only rich

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: white people played it. But Arnold Palmer, you know, a

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: kid from Latrobe Pennsylvania, and I got a special place

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: in my heart having lived in Philly for a couple

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: of years. For Pa guys, there's a toughness to them,

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: just resonated. And obviously he had a panache to him.

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: But when I think of Arnold Palmer, I don't just

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: think of the great golfer Ovid over Covid. I watched

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: a documentary on him and was blown away. Obviously, the

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: drink you know, when you think Arnold Palmer, you know

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: people my age, you know under forty, you think you

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: know lemonade nice Ta, And clearly he changed the uh.

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just an iconic drink. But in

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: that documentary, and I didn't know this that when the

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Golf Channel was when they were thinking about putting the

73
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Golf Channel together in the mid nineties, and Arnold was

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: always a forward thinking businessman. He was flying private in

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: the seventies, in the sixties before even rich people flew private.

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: But he realized he could save so much time by

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: getting on a private plane and getting you know, to

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: his destination. And then he put the uh, you know,

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: the umbrella logo on it and the rest is history.

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: But in the in the mid nineties when cable TV

81
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: was really taken off, people had this idea to start

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: the Golf Channel, and Arnold was a multi you know,

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 1: it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the time.

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: He went into this, uh to this negotiation with people

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: involved in it, and his lawyers and accountants looked at

86
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: him halfway through or towards the end, Arnold, I do

87
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: not recommend you do this. This is not a good idea.

88
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: And he looked at them and he said, if I

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: didn't hit a ball, a few balls over the years,

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: but between some tight spots and take some risks in

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: my golf career. Because he was known as a risk

92
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: taker on the golf course, none of us would be

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: sitting here. I'm all in. And he did it and

94
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the rest is history. And as someone who consumes more

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Golf Channel than any other channel on TV, honestly, for me,

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: it's not even close. I watched a ton of Golf

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Channel or CNBC. Those are really the two channels that

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I watch. And then obviously if games are on Fox, ESPN, whatever,

99
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: But if a game is not, I'm not watching those channels.

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: Watch Coward. Uh So I watched FS one, you know,

101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: from my office the majority of the week. But other

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: than that, like golf channels on where I come from,

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: and it would not have been possible, and maybe it

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: definitely eventually would have happened. But this guy was the

105
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: forefather of the Golf channel and for everything Tiger Woods do,

106
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: the game and everyone that likes playing golf. Hell, I'm

107
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: talking about golf now owes a debt of gratitude. I

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: heard Pat Perez say this, every penny of the PIP

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: for the next ten years should go to Eldrick Tiger Woods.

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Every penny four or a million dollars over the next

111
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: ten years, give it to Tiger. I don't disagree, but

112
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Arnold Homer deserves a huge, just you know, standing ovation

113
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: for what he brought to golf, what he did to

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: golf and making this tournament, I mean a really big deal.

115
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: And as someone that loves again his John Daly's with Tito's,

116
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm very much looking forward to this tournament. And a

117
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: big reason was because I remember last year being absolutely

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: locked in to the Bryson d. Shambo Show, and I

119
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: think one thing Bryson has done and unlike Tiger and Arnie,

120
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: like Bryce, is not that cool. You know Bryson is

121
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: just this kind of weird, scientific meathead. But when he

122
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: got really big and he started hitting it three D

123
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: seventy three sixty yards, he transcended sports people in that

124
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: follow baseball, people that follow basketball, people that follow football.

125
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: He became easily non like Tiger or Phil one of

126
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: the most famous guys playing golf. You could argue, besides

127
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: speed and Rory Bryson, you just say Bryson D. Shambo

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to a casual sports fan. They know who that is.

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: And obviously, once upon a time, I think Tom Glavin

130
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: and Greg Maddox had the commercial chicks did the long ball.

131
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: It's true, so do dudes. We are fascinated by the

132
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: long ball, and no one was hitting it quite like

133
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Bryson D. Shambo. And last year when he hit that

134
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: ball over the sixth hole, the irony is Lee Westwood.

135
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: They both birdie the whole It was really cool to watch.

136
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: It was a thing. It was a moment for the

137
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: PGA Tour and all the Saddi stuff and started getting jaded.

138
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Clearly a lot of guys on tour do not like

139
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: the guy. That much is not even arguable at this point,

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: but he has I said this for a while. When

141
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: he ultimately pledged, kind of pledged his allegiance but just

142
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: said at the time being I'm staying on the p

143
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: G A tour. That was a big deal. Golf needs

144
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: Bryson d Shambo. You know, PGA Tour, Golf needs him

145
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: on their tour, but they also need him healthy. And

146
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you get really big out of nowhere.

147
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: I was watching maybe it was like the two thousand.

148
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: The Golf Channel was replaying an old tournament it and

149
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: they showed Bryson was hitting shots. It was like, God,

150
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you forget how skinny the guy was. And now

151
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: he's got this wrist injury and he couldn't play this week.

152
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: And you know they have that big seminole. It's the

153
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: nice private golf course in Florida run by Jimmy Dunn, big,

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, mover and shaker in the golf world. Bryson

155
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: was supposed to play in that. He had to back

156
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: out of that, and he obviously backed out of this.

157
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: And now the question is will he be ready for

158
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: the players. I don't know. And remember last year he

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: was in the mix for the players up until basically

160
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: Sunday and Augusta who were always fascinated to watch Bryson Augusta.

161
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Can he figure it out with some of these crazy lines.

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: I think it's all in doubt, and that makes me

163
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: sad because someone that wants golf to be as relevant

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: as possible, they need this guy involved. They need this

165
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: guy hitting three seven yard drives, whether they're in the

166
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: trees or down the middle. He moves the needle, and

167
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: he's one of the rare guys right now in golf

168
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: that truly moves the needle. You put him on TV,

169
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: the casual guy will pay attention. I'm paying attention to

170
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: no matter what I'm watching Pat Perez, I'm watching SEPs

171
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: Kraka or I'm watching Bryson A Rory. It doesn't matter

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: to me, but I'm not normal. I also watched Jacks Texans.

173
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Most people watch cowboys packers, right, So you want the

174
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: more casual fans you can get, the more successful your businesses.

175
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: And that's when Tiger brought that and droves. The pandemic

176
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: really helped out golf because of so many people started

177
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: playing golf. Now you need your star players, and the

178
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: golf obviously is loaded with him raw more cow all

179
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: these guys. J T. Speed Kepta. They got a ton

180
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: of guys they need this guy around, and they need

181
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: this guy to get healthy. So I'm keeping my fingers

182
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: crossed this risk like this is in the season long injury.

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Like if this was basketball or baseball, we might be

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: talking like are they putt him on injured reserve? Is

185
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: he gonna be out months? We don't know in an

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: individual sport like this because ultimately Bryson controls the message

187
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and nothing really leaks if he doesn't want to leak.

188
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: So we got no clue. Clearly, I think people think

189
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: he's injured, like pretty badly, and he's missed a lot

190
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: of time now. And I would have said I was

191
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of on the fence, like, you know, as he

192
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: playing this up because he's trying to avoid you know,

193
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: the circus that is him declining Saudi and involved with Saudi.

194
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: But he wouldn't have missed this tournament now when you're

195
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the defending champs champ, no way. Not this moment that

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: really became kind of his This became his logo with

197
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: those two hands pointing. So uh, it's just something to

198
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I I just I want him

199
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: back at minimum for the Masters and then since we

200
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: last talked Phil Um It's been a really, really shitty

201
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: ten days for Phil Michelson, you know, and I've said

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: over and over like I I just think that he

203
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: misplayed his hand, you know. I think sometimes you can

204
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: become very negative when you're in your own little world,

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: and it can overcloud your mind, no matter how good

206
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: you have it, no matter how bad you have it.

207
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes I say this a lot about

208
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: the super super rich, that they can live in a

209
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: very um in this bubble mentality. And I think sometimes

210
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: the super rich and the famous, they don't have many

211
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: people telling them things they don't want to hear. And Phil,

212
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: as someone told me through text, one thing Phil and

213
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: Greg Norman share is they're big thinkers. They're very aspirational

214
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: that they're just you know, obviously they're die hard capitalists,

215
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: but they're just big thinkers, which I appreciate. I I

216
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: really do like I like those type people. They do

217
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: not think small. They're swinging for the moon. But there's

218
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: a balance between doing that. Phil Mickelson is not Elon Musk.

219
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: He's not able to say whatever he wants. He's not

220
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: the CEO. He's just a cog in this thing and

221
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: one thing. Golfers more than other pro athletes. If I'm

222
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: making two million dollars playing baseball or basketball and I

223
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: say something really stupid and my sponsors dropped me, Well,

224
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: if I'm making thirty million dollars a year, who cares.

225
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: Phil makes the majority of money and always has off

226
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: the course. I mean, his career earnings are ninety million dollars.

227
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: If he's worth eight hundred million dollars, you do the math.

228
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: He made all that money for being a marketer. And

229
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: I would say that no human being you could argue

230
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: in my lifetime the three best marketers are Michael Jordan

231
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: first and foremost, Tiger Woods right behind him. Those guys

232
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: pushed products, you know, like like like it's crack in

233
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: the eighties, it ain't even a fair fight. Tiger Woods

234
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: change society. Think how many people now that you guys

235
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: are going back to your office where the Nike polo

236
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: to work. Think how many brands I'm wearing run right now? Puma,

237
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: all these brands under armour, uh Adidas created this material

238
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: that Tigers that Nike was on the forefront of doing

239
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Nike polos. Polos are nice, They're comfortable, they're breathable. Obviously,

240
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Tiger's golf apparel changed the game for Nike, but Phil

241
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: was very similar, but with a different crowd. Tiger transcended

242
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: everyone because anyone can buy, you know, on a cheap

243
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: rack whatever at Nike pair of pants or a Nike

244
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: collar shirt. Phil played in same with Michael. You know, Michael,

245
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you had to have a little more money to buy shoes,

246
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: but you know you can find Jordan brand T shirts

247
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: or whatever for cheap. Phil played the high end crowd.

248
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: Phil was like the Roger Federer of golf, playing to

249
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: the super rich. And no one played better to the

250
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: super rich than Phil. He spoke their language, he wanted

251
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: to be like them, he thought like them, He loved money.

252
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: He was you know, listen, people talk like gambling is

253
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: a bad thing. Everyone I know worth their salt. Growing up,

254
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: people that I that I grew up around that were

255
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: successful businessmen. Every one of them were risk takers. And

256
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: when you're a risk taker in business, it's you're a gambler.

257
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: You're gambling on yourself, you're gambling on your company. So

258
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people talk about Phil being

259
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: a gambler. To me, that's a good quality. I've been

260
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: gambling for twenty years. Most of my close friends gambled too.

261
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't view gambling. I think it has this

262
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: negative connotation less and less, But you know it's different

263
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: than and twenty dollar bets on fan duel and like

264
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: you got the balls to make a five bet, Well,

265
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: if you're worth two million dollars, five dollars is no

266
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: different if I'm worth a million dollars and I bet

267
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: you know five thousand dollars. Money is all relative. So

268
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: I think the average person always freaked out of Phil gambling,

269
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Like I found that like as part of his personality.

270
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: It's also why you want all the majors. It's also

271
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: why you lost him. He was really aggressive Arnold Palmer,

272
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: big gambler. I don't know necessarily on sports, but I

273
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: just mean his mindset. He was a gambling individual. I

274
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: eat the golf channel, took balls to do that. You know,

275
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: most people don't have the stones. Most people want to

276
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: stay in the slow lane. Most people won't put it

277
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: all in the middle of the table. But when you

278
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: believe in something, you have to take calculated risks or

279
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: you don't get anywhere. Welcome to America. That's the way

280
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: capitalism works. Now, sometimes it bites you in the ass

281
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: because sometimes there's a balance of being really aggressive and

282
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: then being greedy, and Phil clearly feel kind cross that

283
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: line and now like Callaway dropped him. I can't imagine

284
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: over the last twenty years or however I think Phil

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: got involved with them in like the early two thousand's,

286
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: they have had a more profitable individual will be involved

287
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: in their brand than Phil Mickelson and ultimately KPMG. Like

288
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how much business Phil was directly drawing them,

289
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: but it was a big deal to have their brand

290
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: on his shirt. They were on his hat on that

291
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: Melan hat, Like that was a really really big deal.

292
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Phil was a marketing cash cow for these people. They

293
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: loved being associated with Phil because of the positive vibes

294
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,119
Speaker 1: he brought them and obviously the salesmanship that he brought them,

295
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: like an underrated partner about Tiger is like Tiger, I

296
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: think you know, for even when his younger days, was

297
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: known as kind of this dick and kept to himself.

298
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: Ask anyone that was involved in some of his corporate events,

299
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: like Tiger can turn on the charm. Tiger knew what

300
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: he was doing. Tiger knew where his bread was uttered,

301
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: but no one knew where their bread was buttered, quite

302
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: like Phil, and I don't know. Like listen, you never

303
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: say never. In America, things change, things turned over. We

304
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: love to beat, you know, take a guy to the mountaintop,

305
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: drag him back down and let him climb back up.

306
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: The problem is when Tiger, you know, had the incidents

307
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: with Ellen and remember Buick, and some of the people

308
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: dropped him, which was stupid. You know, this guy made

309
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: you so much money and you weren't loyal to him.

310
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: Well Nike was, and think how they profited. You know

311
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: when he won the Masters in two thousand nineteen, you know,

312
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: when he's cool again. Uh Now, the difference is that

313
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: happened to Tiger in his I think he was thirty three,

314
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: thirty four years old, Philmicks one. And let's face it,

315
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: you become fifty one years old, you're not as marketable anymore.

316
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Tiger still had many, many marketable years right in his thirties,

317
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: in his early forties and again won the Masters. And hell,

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: if Tiger comes back, can you imagine the story. And

319
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I do expect Tiger to play this year when he

320
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: comes back, that will be one of the biggest sports

321
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: stories of the year, and Nike will directly same with Monster,

322
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: same with Monster. They got involved in that bag immediately

323
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: when Buick left. You think Buick regressed that one. I

324
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: bet they do. I bet they do, But I don't know,

325
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: like how Phil is gonna get these guys back at

326
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: fifty one years old, Like it's kind of a problem.

327
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: So it just shows you if you're Elon Musk, you

328
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want, you know, when you're Phil Mickelson,

329
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: and ultimately you're not the decision maker. You you basically

330
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: work for people. You do gotta be careful what comes

331
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: out of your mouth and telling shipnut Dad a couple

332
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: of weeks ago had major major consequences on the guy's

333
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: bank account. Okay, back at it again live. It looks

334
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: like from bay Hill he has the Arnold Palmer hat

335
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: rocking UH Jason Sobel You can hear him every day

336
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Monday through Wednesday, two to four Eastern on the PGA

337
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: Tour Serious XM channel number channel nine two, as well

338
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: as UH links and lock locks and links. I saw

339
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: you tweeted up links and locks and of course he

340
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: puts out every week on the Action Network. It's become

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: a must read, his his kind of his betting preview,

342
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: and I wanted to start there. Sobel Uh, you have

343
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Zalatorus this week? You know, you know that that rom

344
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: number we've talked about right when he's eight to one,

345
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: that it's got like a tiger field to it, and

346
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: it's he just doesn't win at that rate enough. But Zalatorus,

347
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: the guy that hasn't broken through yet. Uh, hit me

348
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: with that one. What are your thoughts on Willie Z

349
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: this week? Okay, John? First, first things first, I'm wearing

350
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: the bay Hill hat here the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I

351
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: get it. I don't usually do that. I mean it's

352
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: sort of like wearing the Guns and Roses t shirt

353
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: to the Guns and Roses concert and you kind of

354
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: you can't be that guy. But it's my hometown of

355
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: Van I love it here. I live ten minutes away,

356
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: and so I'm representing the tournament just a little bit today.

357
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: So I in any case, let's get to the pick

358
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: this week, which yes, my favorite outright Will's Alators. We've

359
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: seen four first time winners on the PGA Tour over

360
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, by comparison in one starting in January,

361
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: it took twenty five events to get four first time winners,

362
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: so we've seen a lot of them. I don't know

363
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: that i'd call it a trend, but it's at least

364
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: a nice coincidence to have in in the last month

365
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: or so. And I do think that can extend to

366
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: a guy who we know. He's a world class ball striker.

367
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: We know t de Green, he's really good. He doesn't

368
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: have the greatest putting stroke in the world. We understand

369
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: that too. It looks a little ugly at times coming

370
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: off the putter face from zalators. But that said, putting

371
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: tends to be neutralized a little bit here at Bay Hill.

372
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is your scoring clubs

373
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be driver off the tea. It's gonna be

374
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the iron, it's gonna be the wedges where look, you

375
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: can hit it close and make some putts and make

376
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: some birdies. But it's not a place we're gonna be

377
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: rolling in twenty footers all week. In fact, when looked

378
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: at all the players in contention on the leaderboard last week,

379
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: only two of them head ranked inside the top fifteen

380
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: in strokes gained putting for the entire week so you

381
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: can't have success here without putting extremely well. And that's

382
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: what I'm banking on this week. A lot of the

383
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: guys that I do like, our guys who aren't traditionally

384
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: the best putters out here. Well, then you know, I

385
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: know you had this guy listed in your in your column, Haddecki,

386
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: who was really the last couple of years really since

387
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: that master's victory has been unreal. Uh. He lives around

388
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: uh in this area. His putting has been much better

389
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: as of late. I mean, just for just in terms

390
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: of an outright uh in a top five, I mean,

391
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: would you be shocked if a deck he's not in

392
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: the mix? Uh this week? Look, it wouldn't shot me.

393
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: He's He's played this event six times, made the cut

394
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: every time, but only I believe one result better than

395
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: top fifteen and one result inside the top fifteen. So

396
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: you look at the deck and you say it should

397
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: fit him really well, he's the profile of guys they

398
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: play this course really well as great player T de Green. Yes,

399
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: he's starting to put a little bit better. Plays and

400
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: practices right down the road about five ten minutes away

401
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: at the Golden Bear Club at Keen's Point. And so

402
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: he knows the conditions that It's one thing to know

403
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the golf course and a lot of the guys know

404
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: the golf course here, but to be playing and practicing

405
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: and prepping for this one just down the road, just nearby,

406
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: and you kind of know what the grass is like,

407
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: you kind of know how the weather conditions are reacting

408
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: certain things like that. I do think that helps. And

409
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: so the fact that he's not parachuting in this week

410
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: and then getting out of town, the fact that he's

411
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: been around should help him this week and doesn't have

412
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: as good a record as I would have thought that

413
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: he should have at this event. But yeah, I I

414
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: do like him. This week probably won't have him outright

415
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: John the numbers too short for me. But other platforms,

416
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: if you like him for a one and done pool,

417
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: if you like him for DFS lineups, I certainly don't

418
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: mind it. I got a name for you. Uh. This

419
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: guy plays well on tough golf courses. He he looks

420
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: like he had a good week last week. He even

421
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: though he three putted eight team What about Gary Woodland? Uh,

422
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: you know six one a little bit of a longer shot,

423
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: but a guy to be in the mixed top five,

424
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 1: top ten. Uh, he's got some momentum now coming off

425
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: last week playing in Florida. What do you think about Woodland?

426
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: Just so Gary Woodland about ten minutes ago on the

427
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: practice screen, did get a chance to speak with him.

428
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: He was working on things, just said high and kind

429
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: of walked past. But Gary Woodlands guy that I've been

430
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: waiting for a big bounce back, a big rebound, because

431
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: he is much better than the results have been showing recently.

432
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: Finally played well last week. And yes, you're right, plays

433
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: tough golf courses really well. I don't mind that play whatsoever.

434
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Uh this guy where uh he can hit that stinger.

435
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: He hits a low ball off the tea, whether it's

436
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: with a driver, whether it's with a low iron, that

437
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: he can keep it in the fairway, flight it down,

438
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: get some roll out here. It's gonna be fast and firm,

439
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I do think that he tends to

440
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: fit that profile. He tends to uh play tough course.

441
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Tough golf course is really well. So I do like

442
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: that playing if you got smart you had. This guy's

443
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: a long shot and I bet him over the years

444
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: and I can never get him right. Keagan Bradley, um

445
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: sell him to me this week, you know, I mean

446
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: for putting twenty bucks given he's you know, well over

447
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: a hundred to one. Uh, not crazy at all in

448
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: terms of a long shot. But I just whenever I

449
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: bet him Jason, he he doesn't even come close. So well,

450
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: why why is this week? Why why do you like

451
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: him this week? Another guy saw earlier today, walked down

452
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: the first hole with him, and I would say he

453
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: made a part there. On the first ball, it was fine,

454
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: hit in the fairway, hit it to about fifteen feet

455
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: and missed the putt. But again it comes back to

456
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: exactly what I was saying about Salatorus, what I was

457
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: saying about matsu Yama. I want guys who are proficient

458
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: T degreen. I want guys who are really good strokes

459
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: gain T degree, guys who are ball strikers. And Keegan

460
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: Bradley is not a guy who's going to lead the

461
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: PGA Tour and strokes gaining putting. He's not a guy

462
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna go out on on a given wee week

463
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: and put it really, really well. I just need an

464
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: average putting week out of these types of players. I

465
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: just need them to do your usual damage from tea

466
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: to green and then put it pretty well. He loves

467
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: this golf course. Nine straight made cuts, uh, two top

468
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: five finishes. He's played well here in the past. Speaking

469
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: with him, seems relaxed, seems confident, seems like he's ready

470
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: to get this thing going. I really like him. Also, John,

471
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: as a first round leader, play tends to get off

472
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: to good hot starts. I don't think there's much of

473
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: an advantage for morning wave or late waves, so I

474
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: don't think tea times are gonna matter too much. But

475
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: I do like Egan for this week. Uh, not just

476
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: for the first round, but for all four rounds. Obviously,

477
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: the biggest story out there and probably this week is

478
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: the defending champion is who's injured? Um not able to attend?

479
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: And he gave that you know kind of video yesterday.

480
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Just the expectation, the buzz you're hearing out there, I

481
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: mean the players, is he a lock for the Masters?

482
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly, this injury, you know it's not enough

483
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: and you know, if you if your research, it's hard

484
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: to play, especially the way Bryson plays. I mean, what's

485
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: you educated guests? Any expectation for bryceon d Shambo next

486
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: time we see him. Yeah, it's really hard right now.

487
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: It sort of reminds me of what we saw from

488
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: Daniel Burger a few weeks ago. If you recall, Daniel

489
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Burger was the defending champion at the A T and

490
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: T Pebble Beach Pro Am had to skip it this

491
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: year and had a little injury, had a back injury,

492
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: came back the next week in Phoenix, and I spoke

493
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: with him for a while on Wednesday in Phoenix, and

494
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Burger told me, Look, it was more precautionary than anything.

495
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: If that had been a major championship last week, I

496
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: would have played, but I just didn't want to go

497
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: out there when I wasn't a hundred percent and might

498
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: have injured myself more. And so the same type of situation.

499
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: And of course we saw how well Burger played this

500
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: past week until Sunday, so he wasn't that far off

501
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: from playing some very good golf. Bryson the Shambo, like

502
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: Burger was at that point, is the defending champion this week?

503
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: Decide stake this week off, at least from the whatever

504
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: TikTok in to Graham Twitter video that he put out.

505
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what exactly we're calling it, but uh,

506
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: he sounds like he's doing this for precautionary measures. He's

507
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: not quite a hundred percent. What does that mean moving forward?

508
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Does that mean we see him next week at the Players,

509
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that's it's coming up very soon.

510
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: Does that mean we don't see him until the Masters?

511
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that either. So it's just kind of

512
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: a wait and see for Bryson. But I will say

513
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: about him though, John is affected and Kyle Porter from

514
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: CBS Sports tweeted this out on Monday, the fact that

515
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: the season, the PGA Tour season is about complete right now,

516
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: Bryson has played two events and made the cut in

517
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: just one of them. He's something like hundred on the

518
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: FedEx Cup points list. It's getting late early, and I

519
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: get it. We haven't played the majors yet. There's a

520
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: lot of big time events still left to play. You

521
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: can still easily catch up. If you're far behind the

522
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: boy making two starts and only making one paycheck in

523
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: the first first two fits in the season, that doesn't

524
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: seem like a really good uh barometer for where your

525
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: season is going to go from here. One last name,

526
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, are we ever gonna bet Rory in any

527
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: tournaments coming forward, or we just is he just kind

528
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: of floating around. If he comes through, then we'll be shocked.

529
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: But it doesn't feel like he's really on our radar

530
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: right now. Is that fair to say? No? Not really?

531
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: You know what, if you're gonna do it, do it

532
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: this week. This is the one where I like Rory.

533
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Granted it's a short number, but look, if you gave

534
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: me Rom who's seven and a half eight to one

535
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: in most books, or Rory, who's tend to one eleven

536
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: to one. If you said, hey, you can have either

537
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys that tend to one. Which do

538
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: you want this week? I still take Rory. I get it.

539
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: Rob's the favorite, Rob's the best player in the world.

540
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: But Rory has played so well on this golf course,

541
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: won it back at eighteen. He's got six finishes of

542
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: eleventh or better in seven career starts here at bay Hill,

543
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: and so he loves this place. I think it's a

544
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: good spot to take Rory. Now, do you want to

545
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: chase a tend to one eleven to one number? Not really,

546
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: but um one in done Pool's uh DFS plays. Wanna

547
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: take him just for a top five. I do think

548
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: that's a nice week for him. And speaking of baramters,

549
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: I think this is a really good baraminter for Rory.

550
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Moving forward. He's played well so far this year, granted

551
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: limited starts, two on the DP World Tour, the euro

552
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Tour overseas, and then one here in the States where

553
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: he finished in a share tenth place. So look, he's

554
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: been playing well. The ceiling is as high as it's

555
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: always been. The floor doesn't seem as low as it's

556
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: been over the last couple of years. Last couple of years,

557
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: if Rory didn't have his good stuff, it could have

558
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: been really bad. It was Hey, I'm slamming the trunk

559
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: come Friday. It seems like that floor is hired. What

560
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean by that is even his B game or

561
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: a C game can still get him up there, somewhere

562
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: close to the leaderboard. And so I kind of like

563
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: I like him a lot this week, I kind of

564
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: like him moving forward. So I can see betting Rory

565
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: in the very near future. Well, the players right around

566
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: the corner, the Arnold Palmer is hard to beat. This Uh,

567
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: this is a great week and a half stretches not

568
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: doesn't get much better than this, but non major, No,

569
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: it's really good. I like this. I know that last

570
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: week a lot of people might have been turned off

571
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: a little bit like that. No top ten players, and

572
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: you know the Honda doesn't have the greatest field. Look

573
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: if if that's why you watch golf, and I think

574
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of people listening right now watch for

575
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: reasons other than just to see the best players. If

576
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: you're betting on it, you understand ay, even an event

577
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't have great players in it, I can still bet,

578
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: And in fact I like betting those more. And so

579
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: you can find some reason for personal investment in any event.

580
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: But if you're more of a casual fan, you like

581
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: seeing the big names, like seeing the great tournaments. Uh,

582
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: the next week and a half, like you said, John,

583
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: are gonna be really really fun. Thanks soil and enjoy

584
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: the week. And um, you don't don't drink too many

585
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmers out there, you know you kind of have

586
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: to here. I once went to a luncheon when I

587
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: was with Arnold Palmer and he was speaking about forty

588
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: people of the room. All forty of them ordered an

589
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer for lunch. You just can't do it. Uh,

590
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: You can't do anything else when you were around him,

591
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: and now that he's no longer with us, when you're here,

592
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: it just feels like something you have to do. I

593
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: can't even imagine drinking an Arnold Palmer around Arnold Palmer.

594
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how does it get any better than that?

595
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: You know what you used to say? You say, can

596
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: you get me an Arnie? Let's say, can I have

597
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: a mean? Would say an ARMOLDO? Can you get me

598
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: an Arnie? I love that. That's awesome. Have a great day,

599
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: so well, thanks, John, appreciate it. Okay, you guys want

600
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: to do a little mail bag, pretty easy to do.

601
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: You go to Instagram. It's this little website app owned

602
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: by Facebook and maybe it's called Metta now and uh

603
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: you you look up at go low pod at go

604
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: low pod is uh is my handle? So you fire

605
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: up in those d m s and get your questions

606
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: and are here on the show. It's really really simple.

607
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Start with Noah question for the bag. Why do you

608
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: guys skip tournaments? I understand taking a week off here

609
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: and there or every other week, but for example j T,

610
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: nor Xander or in the field for the Arnold Palmer,

611
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: whereas Rom some of the other big guys are playing.

612
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Is to get ready for the players. Probably a tough question,

613
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: but just I thought you might have some insight. I've

614
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: heard countless players talk about you know, we use the

615
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: word analytics a lot in sports. Well, these all these

616
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: especially that you know, if your top one player, you

617
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: have a team coach manager, and these teams put together

618
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: analytical uh, you know, spreadsheets of what courses you play

619
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: well at and what courses you should avoid. It's why

620
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, shorter hitters avoid Tory Pines.

621
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: Some guys avoid the Honda and Arnold Palmer for whatever reason. Obviously,

622
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: there are certain tournaments you're never gonna avoid, right, any

623
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: of the w g c's the players, the majors. But

624
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: other than that, like guys are gonna pick and choose

625
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: where they play well at, where their course history is.

626
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: I heard, you know, Justin Thomas never played Tory Pines

627
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: and then last year he played in the US Open.

628
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: He's like, damn, I like playing here, so he started

629
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: playing there this year. I've heard Webb Simpsons say that

630
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: he avoids that certain tournament. You know, and obviously the

631
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: bigger the purses guys are gonna gravitate toward. But I

632
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: think a lot has to do with the analytical models

633
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: that your team has telling you where you should play,

634
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: and different guys I think have different processes leading up

635
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: to big tournaments. I mean the players next week twenty

636
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: million dollar price person twenty million dollars. I bet the

637
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: winner gets three and a half million dollars. So if

638
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: j T, who's the defending champ, feels like he's better

639
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: off practicing or Zander, you know, it's it's hard for

640
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: me to say why not some guy? I just feel

641
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: better getting in the rhythm of a tournament. Probably why

642
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: John Rom is playing the Honda, because I don't I

643
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: don't know why John Rom would play the Honda. I

644
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: saw I had someone d m me that they bet

645
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: on sept Straka one forty to one. That is a

646
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: fantastic hit. I want to give a couple of my

647
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: bets actually really quick for this weekend. I have Keegan

648
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Bradley and Gary Woodland two top five. I think Gary

649
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: Woodlands like twelve to one and Keegan Bradley is eighteen

650
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: to one. I've had a lot of success the last

651
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks doing top fives and top tens, Uh.

652
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: If I don't feel good about a favorite or betting

653
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: on someone to win, I'm gonna avoid now. I sprinkled

654
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: a little on each guy to win. But I'm gonna do,

655
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, bet on both those guys. Hadeki, I'm gonna

656
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: do for the first time, just just straight up bet

657
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: against another guy where I gamble. You can bet Hadeki

658
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: straight up for sun j M. I liked y. I'm

659
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna start doing some you know, I did group betting

660
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: last week. I took Gary Woodland over I think Matt Wolfe,

661
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: Matt Jones, Meto Pereira, and Jonathan Vegas and that paid

662
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: five to one. So I'm gonna start expanding a little

663
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: on my golf betting because listen, hitting a winner is incredible.

664
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: I had fifty dollars on Shane Lowry at thirty to one.

665
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: I was in the driver's seat until I wasn't, and

666
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: it's it's an awesome high. But I do think if

667
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: you like guys like Jason Day, I'm gonna take I'm

668
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna sprinkle a little on him to top five finish

669
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: that's twelve to one as well. I bet a little

670
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: last week, and it's kind of stupid. Because it's you know,

671
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big hail Mary. Who knows who's gonna

672
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: be the Round one leader, But god damn, those odds

673
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: are incredible. So I sprinkled a little bit on some

674
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: random guys, you know, Keegan Bradley, Gary Woodland, Uh, Sergio Garcia.

675
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I mean, there's no to me,

676
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: there's no rhyme or reason to that one. Maybe someone

677
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: could talk me out of that. But so I got

678
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: Jason Day to top five. I got head Decky over

679
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: sun Jay, and then Keegan in Woodland to top five,

680
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: and a little sprinkled the win as well. Can you

681
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: talk about how bad golf highlights are on YouTube? Yeah?

682
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean I so I don't really watch many golf

683
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: highlights on YouTube. I did go back and watch. I

684
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: would highly recommend. Stevie Williams has a podcast right now

685
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: and it's just talking about Tiger. It's called Chasing Majors.

686
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: It's just the first like four episodes or him telling

687
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: a story on the PGA Championship Pebble Beach, and then

688
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: St Andrew's and it's just about Phil. It's just about Tiger.

689
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: It's it's freaking awesome. I can't recommend it enough. Stevie

690
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: Williams on Tiger It's awesome because someone actually DM me.

691
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: You gotta listen to Chasing Major's podcast with Stevie some

692
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: amazing Tiger stories. I I don't think we've given enough

693
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: credit Tiger Woods. When he won the Tiger Slam, do

694
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: you s Open? St Andrews? Then he won the PGA,

695
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: then he won the Masters. In two thousand one, he

696
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: won the US Open and St Andrews. Back to back

697
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: majors by twenty two shots, back to back majors by

698
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: twenty two shots. I'm pretty confident we're never going to

699
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: see that again. Twenty two shots, two majors, the US

700
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Open and the Open. That is insanity. What a legend?

701
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: What do you think happened to Ricky Fowler? He was young,

702
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: talented kid who seemed to have a promising career in

703
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: the PGA. Really pushed to make him a start. He

704
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: obviously never reached the level they thought he could, though

705
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: he seemed to occasionally find himself around the top of

706
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: the leaderboard semi regularly. But the last but almost, but

707
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: he's almost disappeared largely over the past two seasons. Was

708
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: his talent just never on par with his popularity. Curious

709
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts, I'll hang up and listen. My overall take

710
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: on Ricky is the game changed a little bit from

711
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: when he showed up to where it is now. He

712
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: doesn't hit the ball that far, and once upon a

713
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: time he was one of the best putters on tour.

714
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: He no longer is. But I also think that we

715
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: bemoan Ricky's career. Ricky definitely never lives into the hype, right.

716
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: I think they wanted him to become a Justin Thomas.

717
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: They wanted him to become you know, Jordan's speed. Those

718
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: guys have, you know, thirteen to fifteen you know PGA

719
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: Tour wins. I think JT is gonna win twenty plus.

720
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: JT is gonna win a couple of majors. Speak might

721
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: win the Masters eventually again. But Ricky Fowler won five

722
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: times on the PGA Tour. He's finished second in three

723
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: of the four majors. He's finished second the Masters, the

724
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: US Open, and the Open Championship, and he also finished

725
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: third in the PGA Championship. His two thousand fourteen season,

726
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 1: he finished second at the Open, second at the US Open,

727
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: and third at the PGA Championship. Like he's a pretty

728
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: accomplished player. He was PJA Tour Rookie of the Year.

729
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't hit the ball far enough, he doesn't hit

730
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: the ball well enough, and he no longer is an

731
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: elite putter. So if you're not gonna hit the ball

732
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: very far, you got one. You gotta be really accurate.

733
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: He no longer really is, and you have to have

734
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: a dominant, dominant short game. He just doesn't, you know.

735
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just I think it's gonna be very,

736
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: very difficult for him to stay on tour at this

737
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: rate now because of how much money he's made in

738
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: his career and uh, you know, he's top fifty all

739
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: time earnings. You know, he's not going anywhere. But I

740
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing him compete to win anymore.

741
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: I really do, you know. I just think the game.

742
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: Think how many like Colin Moore call right now is

743
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: second in shot games, shot shots, getting on the green,

744
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: So he's second putting right now. Think about that, Like

745
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy. Obviously Rom's are really good putter. I

746
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: think Brooks are really good putter. I I just I

747
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: don't know, I just don't see it with Ricky. He's

748
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: just a major major trouble. And golf's very hard because

749
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: when you lose it. It's why I talked about it

750
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: last week with Jordan Spieth. He was losing it, he

751
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: was falling off a cliff and he kind of remade himself. Now,

752
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Jordan was a much better player than Ricky, so I

753
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: think it's a little unfair to compare the two. But

754
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I am trying to find

755
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler's career earnings. He's twenty three all time. I

756
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: had had Deki, I had a Kapca, I had a

757
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Read, I had a Leashman Henrik Stenson, John Ron,

758
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: who will surely pass him. You know, he's just he's

759
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: just gonna start getting passed. You know, he's made forty

760
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: million dollars in his career. I would imagine he's made

761
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: another hundred. He's made a ton off the court, off

762
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: the course, so he's financially set up for life. But

763
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very, very difficult to like

764
