Speaker 1: Fire into those d m s and get your question answered.

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Start with this. The Masters, Uh had over ten million

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: people watching on Sunday. Uh, you know, up way up

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: from last year and not quite to the level of

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen when Tiger wanted, but very close. And

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: I think it shows you the power of the tournament.

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: It's clearly a very very special event. You just say

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the Masters to a casual sports fan and they know

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: exactly what that is. Now. I think Tiger winning in

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: nineteen has probably helped it out. And then clearly with

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: him returning to this tournament right, it created a buzz

36
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: over the last ten days, right the end of two

37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago, probably Thursday Friday, to him flying to Augusta

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: and then playing in the practice round on Monday and

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: the practice round on Tuesday and the practice round on Wednesday.

40
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: It added to it. Even though he was nowhere to

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: be found on the weekend, doesn't matter. There is an

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: added juice to the guy playing And I talked to

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Sobol a little bit about this. Whether he thinks he's

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna play in the PGA Championship, which is I think

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: less than thirty days away the US Open and then

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: the Open. We know he's gonna play at the Open Championship.

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: He has said so he he told sky TV, which

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I actually heard from a couple of people that sky

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: TV is actually better than CBS. You know, the the

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: International European broadcast is Butch Harmon, who is basically there,

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Nick Faldo and uh listen, it's hard to be I

52
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: saw Nick Faldo kind of apologize for the comments to

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, but come on, man, you can't blow that.

54
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: But but regardless is if Tiger comes back for these majors,

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: it adds an element of juice that I'm a golf nerd.

56
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this and you're a golf nerd,

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: we're watching the major's no matter what. I'm trying to

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: decide should I put two fifty dollars in my account

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: or should I put five in my account to gamble

60
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: on hilton Head this weekend? Like I'm gonna watch a

61
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of hilton Head whether I'm you know, I might

62
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: play a little golf this weekend. No, it's a little

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: cold out right now, but I've been watch Why because

64
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I consume that I'll probably watch equally as much as

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the golf tournament as I will like the NBA playoffs

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: right beside the Warriors game and the nets are currently

67
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: on as I'm recording this net Celtics anything like the

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. Call me when the conference

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: finals start. Uh, And I like basketball, but I'm pretty

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm in deep with this golf season. Uh. Pretty good tournament.

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I enjoy this tournament. This is a course that I

72
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: want to play, um, which is very gettable if you

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, travel out. I actually think South Carolina is

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: a cool golf trip. But I always like watching this tournament.

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: But my point ultimately is, I do think that Tiger,

76
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: if physically he's able to do it the juice that

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: he got from competing last week, I think he's gonna

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: play in all four majors. Uh. I understand right after

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the fact, where you go besides St. Andrews, which is

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: a flat course, I gotta take some inventory about Southern Hills,

81
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: which I've never been there. Scottie Scheffler called it the

82
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: greatest his favorite course in America. Scottie Sheffler just won

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: four times in sixty days, and the next major he

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: has said, and he said this in two thousand nineteen,

85
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: that Southern Hills is his favorite of course, so he's

86
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna be favored in that tournament. But I think Tiger

87
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: can add an element to these agers where it listen there,

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: there's always buzz with the major's right, it happens in tennis,

89
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: the Grand Slams, right, the French Open, the US Open, Wimbledon,

90
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: they feel bigger. But when you add the starred player,

91
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: who in this case is Tiger Woods, even though if

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: he's no longer quite the star in terms of talent

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: because of all the injuries, it is uh. I hope

94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: that he plays them all And I actually feel just

95
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: knowing the guy like we all do following his career. Yeah,

96
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I think he had a lot of fun last week,

97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and I talked to so about it. He clearly took

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in it. But you can't I

99
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: saw a clip the other day in Baseball Buck Show

100
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: Walter who hasn't been a manager in a long time,

101
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: who's worked at ESPN and the Yes Network, and listen

102
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: he's a baseball lifer, he's a baseball addict, but in

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: like the second game of the season, he's the Mets manager.

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: He got lind Or got blasted in the face. I

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: think it hit his helmet, but by a Nats pitcher,

106
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: and he went out there and he went sparky Anderson

107
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: and I was just thinking, like, you don't get these

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: juices sitting in ESPN studios or in the in the

109
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Yes Network broadcast booth. You only get this wearing your

110
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: sliders being on the bench. Right. It's why so many

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: coaches that retire from coaching go back, because they're deep down,

112
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: it's just who they are. Look at John Gruden. John

113
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Gruden made probably a hundred million dollars. Hell, it might

114
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: have been more between getting fired for Tampa and returning

115
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. And he returned, and let's face, he

116
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go anywhere if the emails from Dan Snyder

117
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: doesn't come back. I think Tiger has like the coaching mindset,

118
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: like he has a golf freak nerd like it's that

119
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: means everything to him. Well, who did I hear say that?

120
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: He told someone that with his back injuries sometimes he

121
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: would just go lay on his yard in the back

122
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 1: of his house and just dream of hitting crisp iron shots.

123
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being that good at something whatever you do,

124
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: whatever you do, if you're a salesman, if you're an engineer,

125
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: if you're an architect, podcaster, whatever you do. For most

126
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: of us, it's very, very difficult to be like, that

127
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: guy's the best at what he does. I would say

128
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: the the average. If you just tugh anyone listening to this,

129
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: including myself, if you ran into us and be like,

130
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: who's the best in your industry? We rattle off like

131
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: five or six guys, But it's really hard to quantify, right,

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: unless we're going up against Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk

133
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady. You know you're gonna name several names.

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: If you played golf against Tiger Woods and you go,

135
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: who's the best golfer you ever played, that person's gonna

136
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: say Tiger freaking Woods. He was the best at what

137
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: he did, and then get got taken away from some

138
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: of itself inflicted several times. And then he made this comeback,

139
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: and the adulation and the excitement is beyond palpable. I mean,

140
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: it's just it doesn't get any bigger. We're all. He

141
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: transcends sports and golf for a long time was so niche.

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: But football people care, Basketball people care. Every one cares.

143
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Why because he's Tiger Woods. His fame to me has

144
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: only been matched in my lifetime by an athlete Michael

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jordan's not not even Tom Brady because Tom Brady

146
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: is not international. Right. There are probably some soccer stars Ronaldo,

147
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: maybe a Lewis Hamilton's internationally that are enormous, but that

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: that's like Tiger, that's Michael Jordan's. It's nobody else, maybe

149
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 1: Kobe at his moments. I wouldn't put Lebron on their stage.

150
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: The other thing with Michael and Tiger, they became Michael

151
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: Jackson level famous when the Internet did not exist. If

152
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: you become super famous pre Internet, to me, you are

153
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: stupid famous. If you become famous post Internet, like, that's impressive.

154
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: But it's much easier to become famous now. I mean,

155
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I follow some people on Instagram and I'll look and

156
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: they got nine million followers, Like, I got no clue

157
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: who this person is or what they do. Sometimes there's

158
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: some babes, but it's just it's it's it's a different

159
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: world now, and Tiger is Internet famous, and he's pre

160
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: internet famous, partly because he's We've never seen anything like him,

161
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: and his freaking name is Tiger Woods and a huge

162
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: element because not only was he winning every turn, he

163
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: won fifteen majors and as you saw last week, winning

164
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: a major changes your life. Scottie Scheffler had won three

165
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: tournaments in basically forty five days. Google Ricky Fowler. I

166
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: think he's got four career wins. Scottie Scheffler in a

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: thirty five or forty five days stretch, had won three.

168
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: And these were big boy tournaments, right TPC Scottsdale Waste Management.

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: That's no joke. Arnold Palmer, I don't know. Tigers won

170
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: that seven times. The match play big deal to win

171
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: that tournament. W g C pays a lot. His career

172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: was Scottie Scheffler's career, and he's been on a Ryder Cup.

173
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: He'd had a historic, like six month run. You win

174
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: three PGA tournaments and you attend and you're a member

175
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: of the Ryder Cup. That's the hell of a career

176
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: in itself, but you and the Masters, it's a game

177
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: changer to me. The one major that's a little different

178
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: than the other three, Like you're a US Open champ,

179
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: you're British Open champ, and a the golf people say

180
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: the Open, I called the British Open or the Masters.

181
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: It's life changing and I thought it was. I don't

182
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: think I talked about this on Sunday Nights Pod. It's

183
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: very one thing golfers. And this is why I'm hard

184
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: on Nick Faldo. They articulate things so well about their

185
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: golf game, about their life like they're usually great interviews.

186
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: And Scotty said after he wanted when he was sitting

187
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: at the press conference with his green jacket on, that

188
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: he cried like a baby the moment on Sunday because

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: obviously you don't tee off till to forty in the afternoon,

190
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get to the golf course. Probably the

191
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: one or one thirty I can't even imagine. And this

192
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: is the guy that had just won three times, had

193
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: a strong lead in the Masters, and he physically basically

194
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: broke down on his wife. To me that that humanizes

195
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: him and then he gets it done like his life

196
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: is never going to be the same. And obviously we

197
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: love doing this when a guy wins a major, how

198
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: many is gonna win? It's clearly hard. But I don't

199
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: think any of us would argue. Once you see Scottie

200
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: Scheffler play, once you see his high end, once you

201
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: see his ability now closed tournaments. He's winning multiple majors.

202
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: And I had read or maybe heard that he had

203
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: been injured in college, and you see his body. You know,

204
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't exactly call him like Tiger Woods or Dustin

205
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Johnson a fitness, but you know, he pretty loose when

206
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: in terms of his swing, he doesn't feel like a

207
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: guy that could get injured, but he has been hurt before.

208
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that's slowing him down. Because he

209
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: can hit it high, you can hit it low. He

210
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: can work at left, he can work it right. Obviously

211
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: works at he works the cut better than the draw,

212
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: but he definitely can hit the draw. He can play

213
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: in Bombers courses, he can play in the Masters. Austin.

214
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: One thing I would say about Austin Country Club, and

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: even he said this that week, like he played at Texas.

216
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: He's like, I probably played his course a hundred times

217
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: in my life. But so that was, you know, kind

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: of a home course advantage. But Arnold Palmer wasn't. That

219
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: course was a war zone and he and he won

220
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: the thing. So you just winning majors in this sport

221
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: is like I say it all the time in football,

222
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: like some of these guys like I don't give you

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: that much credit when you take a little less money

224
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: to go to a great team. Because winning in the

225
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: playoffs and winning a ring in the NBA, in the NFL,

226
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: your World Series champion, it changes your life. It changes

227
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: the way you're viewed for the rest of your life.

228
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: You're known as Master's Champion, Scottie Scheffler, Super Bowl Champion,

229
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: Ronney Lott, World Series Champion, Tim Lensicum, Like that's that's

230
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: how you're introduced for the rest of your life. When

231
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: you when you when you excel. Obviously, team sports is

232
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: harder because there are more things out of your control.

233
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: But in golf you can win so many tournaments and

234
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: that is really impressive. It's obviously fucking impossible to win

235
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: the Puerto Rican Open, to win the Barracuda in the

236
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: in Nevada would be hard. Let alone, you know, the

237
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: players w g C Memorial, Like all these tournaments are

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: hard as ship to win. Nothing like a major man.

239
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Nothing like winning a major, and specifically to me, if

240
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I had to rank them, if you said, John, you

241
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: get to be a pro golfer, how would you rank

242
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: the majors you'd want to win? For me, personally, it

243
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: would be the Masters one, the US Open to the

244
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Open three, and the p G a pretty distant fourth.

245
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm not trying to take anything away

246
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: from guys that have won the PGA Championship because it's very,

247
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: very difficult to win and depending on the course that year,

248
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: it could be very hard. I might rather be a

249
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: Players Champion than a PGA Championship, And I could be wrong.

250
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: You might think I'm crazy, but like I think the

251
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: players and Ricky Fowler has a Players Championship, But most

252
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: guys that have won the Players Championship, if you just

253
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: google the guys that have want to have also won majors,

254
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: like it's it's the cream usually rises. Like if you

255
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: told me Scottie Scheffler wins the Players Championship, like I

256
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: would expect that. Look who won it this year, Cam Smith?

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Look who was right in the mix to win it,

258
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Cam Smith? Tigers, the Pills, the you know, do a

259
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: lot of great players have won the tournament, but very

260
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: I think we just look at differently. We just period,

261
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. As I say the same

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: thing about John Rom. Before John Rom was an elite talent.

263
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: It's elite guy. Then he wins Tory Pines the U

264
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: s Open, we just major champion. I'm calling Morikawa the

265
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: moment that happens, like I'm I love Victor Hovland the

266
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: moment that guy and he's just stud but we're gonna

267
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: look at him differently once he eventually gets over the

268
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: hump de Chambo. De Chambo went to a different level

269
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: when he won at Wingfoot. We just he just went

270
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: up ten notches because it's that important in the sport.

271
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: And the way the Masters was playing, I mean that

272
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: thing was the thing was a war zone. It was

273
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: playing like a US Open. The greens were crazy, the winds,

274
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: it was an intense test for basically two and a

275
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: half days, and Scottie kicked the ship out of everybody.

276
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: What a performance, what a moment. It's why I like

277
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: j T. He's a major champion, but it's one major

278
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: championship is the p g A. But like last week

279
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: was pretty respectable, right, It's why It's why we speak

280
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: so highly a Rory and in Jordan's they have multiple majors,

281
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: like multiple right US Opens, f Rory, the Open Championship, uh,

282
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the p G A for speed, the Masters, the US Open,

283
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: a little weird one of Chambers maybe, but he still

284
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: did it the Open against Couture, Like that's a big deal.

285
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not just a major champion. I've won several.

286
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Think about Bubba Watson's, like, no, he's not just a

287
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Master's champion. He's a two time Masters champion. Like ultimately,

288
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: like Adam Scott Sergio, great players, incredible careers, Bubba's got

289
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: two of those bad boys. It's just it's a mother

290
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: to do it and someone that's never even come close

291
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: to playing at that level. But I think we all

292
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: agree and acknowledge how impressive what Scotty was doing. But

293
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: what he did last week was you could combine the

294
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: other three wins into one and to meet they don't

295
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: even equal the Masters. That's how of what that guy

296
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: just pulled off. And to see him get emotional about

297
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: it and just a lover of sports and lover of

298
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: winning big things. Cool to watch, fun to watch, thoroughly

299
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, stepped up to the team and take a

300
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: swing at betting the PGA Tour on FanDuel sports Book.

Speaker 1: door to door for you? Six and a half Although

352
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: I woke up, I'm not a car guy, John. I

353
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: woke up Monday morning getting ready for a six hour

354
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: a half hour drive and pull out of the driveway

355
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: at the rental house and they check engine light goes

356
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: on and the car needs car needs cooling. I'm like,

357
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: all right, cool, what's cooling? I'm like, oh, and he freeze. Okay,

358
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: I get this. I go the gas station in the dark.

359
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: It's still dark out in the dark. I'm looking at

360
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: YouTube videos. I'm like under the hood. I'm like, there's

361
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: a few different places this this cooling can go. And

362
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to get wrong, and so I'm like,

363
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: all right, okay, I got it here. I poured the

364
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: cooling in that I'm pouring. I'm pouring. I'm like, oh,

365
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: maybe some more. I poured some more in all of

366
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: a sudden starts overflowing. I'm like, oh crap, what's gonna happen.

367
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: I start googling, you know, too much cooling. I'll probab

368
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: it just burned off or your car might explode. Alright,

369
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: cool one of those two, and I hope it's the

370
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: first one. So I made it home. Car still okay,

371
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: we'll see, but yeah, it's uh, it was a long day.

372
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Is Augusta south of Atlanta or do you have to

373
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: drive through Atlanta? On where you go through Atlanta, Augusta

374
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: is east of Atlanta. If I'm you're putting on the

375
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: spot there, but I'm pretty sure this is going through.

376
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: I just know from a scouting perspective in the NFL

377
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: that I did the West, and it's so big. I mean,

378
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, the golf tournaments are so spread out. We're

379
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: in the in the Southeast. You can go from like

380
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Florida State to Georgia, Alabama to Kentucky. It's all. You

381
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: can just drive everywhere. It's pretty Uh, you guys are

382
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: pretty lucky. Ye over to Savannah through Jacksonville and then

383
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: basically just straight down to Orlando. So you know, obviously

384
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: the Masters, I'm I don't know if you saw today.

385
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: The ratings were big on Sunday. I mean, I think

386
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: the Tiger effects speaks for itself, the buzz of the tournament. Uh,

387
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: but just your overall takeaway from Eldrick Tiger Woods making

388
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: his comeback. What it felt like early in the week

389
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: because we we talked to you before even the week started,

390
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: and then obviously the weekend was tough, but it was

391
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: tough on a lot of guys what that Thursday was like,

392
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: because that felt like a pretty special moment. So it's

393
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: interesting you remember the old match play. We talked about

394
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: matched by a few weeks ago, but you remember the

395
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: old match play when they have sixty four guys on

396
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: a Wednesday and they have thirty two matches and thirty

397
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: two guys are going home a tournaments exactly. It was

398
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: great on Wednesday, like, oh my god, this is crazy.

399
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe this guy's done and that guy's done.

400
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: And then the next day, okay, we got half as

401
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: many guys and now we're cutting in a half again.

402
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, we lost a bunch of guys by the weekend.

403
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: You're like, it's only four guys playing golf. And I

404
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: always called it an inverted pyramid. This past week felt

405
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: like the inverted pyramid of Masters tournaments. What I mean

406
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: by that is I was out on the golf course

407
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: following tigers practice round on Monday, late Monday afternoon with

408
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas and Fred Couples, and it was electric out there.

409
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: There was a buzz through the pines, I mean, galleries

410
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: look like it was Sunday afternoon, not Monday afternoon. And so, uh,

411
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: everyone's excited about you know, wow, Tiger's back. This is amazing.

412
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: We're seeing him for the first time. That continued through

413
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: through Thursday. We see Tiger back, all right, there's still

414
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: that buzz. Everyone wants to watch Tiger. I walked out.

415
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: I couldn't even follow him. I was walking out there

416
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: with a colleague about four or five holes, the first

417
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: four or five tigers round, and you can't even see anything.

418
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: You're like, I think I see his pink shirt through

419
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: the through the crowd a little bit, but you can

420
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: barely see anything. So um, and then the weekend just

421
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of dissipated a little bit. I mean, we had

422
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: what we thought was a two horse race going into Sunday.

423
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: It was closed for a little while. Cam Smith makes

424
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: that triple on twelve and the last six holes, essentially

425
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: the last hour and a half of the Masters was

426
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: a Scottie Scheffler corrodation. And so it just sort of

427
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: the whole week kind of went from like super buzzy,

428
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: super electric, um having a lot of a lot of drama,

429
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things too. By the end of the

430
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: weekend kind of all right, it just sort of ended.

431
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: It ends with a four butt, where hey, he could

432
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: have six button and still been okay. Do you think

433
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: there's a tangible takeaway from Tiger besides, just you know,

434
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: it feels like he's gonna be able to come back

435
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: moving forward and playing the in the majors. But you know,

436
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: as the week went on, clearly fatigued he was off.

437
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Now he granted he hasn't played, so it's like, can

438
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: you even take that much away from it he knows

439
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: that course so well? Or are we just gonna see

440
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, the night that that stretch

441
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: from basically eighteen when he competed in the Open and

442
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: then the Tour Championship and then the Masters, like he

443
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: was playing a really good golf, Like, do you think

444
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: it's even fair to believe that that's possible anymore? Or

445
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: we just never gonna bet against this guy. But I

446
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I just see that that that

447
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: leg looks so weird. Uh. There's a couple of takeaway.

448
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: There's there's a takeaway in the moment in the president,

449
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: and there's a takeaway for the future moving forward. In

450
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: the present, my takeaway was that I have been at

451
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: major championships that Tiger or one, you know, a PGA championship.

452
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I got another one. All right, there's trophy. Thanks, I'm

453
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: gonna go hit the road. Now where he wasn't nearly

454
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: as prideful as he was this past weekend. I mean

455
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: Tiger really, like he said it throughout the entire week,

456
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm filled with gratitude. Um to my team,

457
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: all the doctors, the trainers, all my family members that

458
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: helped me get to this point. He was proud of himself.

459
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: He didn't think he was ever gonna play golf again.

460
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: He's proud of himself that he's not only playing but

461
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: went to augusta national competed. Uh, got into the mix

462
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: really after the first round, made the cut. Um, he

463
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: was very proud of himself. I haven't seen that side

464
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: of Tiger before. I think he had. He enjoyed the

465
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: fact that he was out there playing amongst the guys

466
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: on the biggest stage. Then there's a takeaway for the future.

467
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: And you're right, like I I don't know what we

468
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: look at from Tiger right now and say, you know,

469
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: he has told us and if you know, there's no

470
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: reason to not believe him. He's never gonna play a

471
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: full schedule again. And a full schedule for Tiger to

472
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: begin with was like ten events. We're not talking Canna,

473
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play twenty five events in a calendar year.

474
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: It's like he wasn't doing that anyway, his full schedules

475
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: ten or twelve events. Now he's saying, no, there's no

476
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: way I can do that many. So I mean, I'm

477
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: guessing we're looking at him probably over the next few

478
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: years unless things change, and they very well could. Four

479
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: major championships, maybe the Hero World Challenge in uh in

480
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: December and the Genesis Invitational in February, the two events

481
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: where he is the host of those tournaments, and so um,

482
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: that's probably the times that we see him. He didn't commit,

483
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: as you said, to the p g A or the

484
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: U S Open. My guess is in the moments just

485
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: after finishing Augusta National, when someone says, hey about Southern

486
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: Hills Tigers, thinking you put anything with Hills in the

487
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: name of it in front of me right now and

488
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: I want no part of it. I just give me

489
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: a little time, And I think that a week from now,

490
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: two weeks from now, Tiger will uh rest and recuperate

491
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: a little bit and say, you know what, Yeah, if

492
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: I did it Augusta, let's go do it. Southern Hills

493
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: have one there too, And I have every reason to

494
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: believe that he will go out there and play. If

495
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: we're looking for an event where, hey, can Tiger actually contend,

496
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: maybe even win another golf tournament? Uh, the the Open

497
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: at St. Andrew's is absolutely the perfect storm for him.

498
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: It's a golf course he knows really well, it's flat,

499
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: he can go walk. It should be three months past

500
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: whatever point he is right now, and he should be

501
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: able to keep progressing and keep feeling better and the

502
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: swing keeps getting better. So I mean, if you're looking

503
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: for a place, it's very um, it's gonna be very

504
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: chalky as far as like, if you're picking one event

505
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: where Tiger could contend somewhere down the road, everyone's gonna

506
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: pick that same one. But for good reason. I mean,

507
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: I honestly think that we'll see him then, we'll see

508
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: how the leg is, we'll see how he's feeling, we'll

509
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: see his confidence level. But there's every reason to believe

510
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: that Tiger can play much better at St. Andrew's in

511
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: a few months. Well, one golf takeaway I had for

512
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: obviously the irons and the putting was really rusty, but

513
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: he that little fairway finder buttercut. I mean, he was

514
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: he was pepper and fairways. Obviously he's not blasting at

515
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: on the yards anymore. But if he can play like

516
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: that and just die, I mean, he's the greatest iron

517
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: player of all time, and just figure out a way

518
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to be a little more consistent there and let the

519
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: putter get hot. Could he actually compete in you know,

520
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship or the us O, but just moving

521
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: forward tournaments like that. If he's hitting a lot of

522
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: fair ways, sure, why not? I Mean, like you said,

523
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: he's the greatest not just iron player with long and

524
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: mid iron player that we've seen. And so if he's

525
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: leaving himself a little bit more coming in, but he's

526
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: in the fairway, sure. I mean I saw people this

527
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: past weekend saying, and you can contend this is true

528
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: that if Tiger trove it in his prime the way

529
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: he did this past week, he might have won more

530
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: majors back in fifteen years ago. I just keep it

531
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: in the fairway, all right. Let me, you know, I'll

532
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: hit it twenty yards shorter, but I won't be losing

533
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: it left and right playing army golf the whole time,

534
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: as he used to say. So yeah, it's very possible,

535
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: very viable that. You know, he goes to Southern Hills. Look,

536
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: he won there back at oh seven, knows the golf course.

537
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: They've had some changes since then. I still maintain John

538
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: the the toughest part for Tiger. It's not overcoming injury.

539
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: It's not getting through the pain. It's not trying to

540
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: figure out his swing. It's not okay, well I gotta

541
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: figure out how to But it's he's gonna go beat

542
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, He's gonna go beat John rob He's gonna

543
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: beat Justin Thomas, gonna beat Rory McRoy, he's gotta beat

544
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: all these other guys. It's not as if they're gonna

545
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: look at him on the leaderboard and go, oh that's sweet.

546
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Tigers is playing what a great story. You know what.

547
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I'll make some bogies so we can see Tiger move

548
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: up the board. I'll do that for him. No, these

549
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: guys are all really, really good. They're trying to beat

550
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: everybody else, and so they're not gonna back up just

551
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: for Tiger. And so that's always been the biggest hurdle

552
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: for him. And this in this stage of his career

553
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: is not just playing his best golf but having his

554
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: best golf be better than everybody else's best golf. Well,

555
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: the first I saw this nugget before we get into

556
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: UH this weekend was you tweeted it out that UH

557
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: in his bio, Scottie Scheffler the Southern Hills his favorite

558
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: golf course. You've been around the tour for two decades.

559
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: I mean, there's one thing to be on a heater, right,

560
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: win a tournament, a couple top five, be playing highlight.

561
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Shane is on a here, Alex Norn's had a fantastic year. Right,

562
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: There's another thing to win four times at four big

563
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: time tournaments, one including the Masters minus Tiger. Do you

564
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: ever remember a two month stretch quite like we're witnessing

565
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: with this guy. Especial players probably been so. I mean,

566
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy one two majors within a few months span,

567
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: Brooks kept Good did the same thing. So, I mean,

568
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: there have been players that played really well, nothing like this,

569
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: nothing going. When the o'domator goes from zero to four

570
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: in less than sixty days, that's playing some really good golf.

571
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: And Scottie Scheffler UH certainly learned something throughout each of

572
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: these I think the most impressive thing and I've said

573
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: this to you, uh in the past few weeks when

574
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about Scheffler, But the fact that he's won

575
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: four completely different tournaments on four completely different golf courses.

576
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: So it's not as if man he just goes to

577
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: these ball striker courses in plays really well and went

578
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, where you gotta make a bunch of birdies,

579
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: gotta bomb it out there. They're having a huge party

580
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: around you and no one's even paying attention to guys

581
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: a golf and you've got to really focus on your

582
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: game because you know, there's beer cans spill them all

583
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: over the place. And then he goes to the API,

584
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: which looks like a mini Us Open, the most brutal

585
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: conditions that we see all year other than the Open,

586
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: and wins there. They goes to match play, which is

587
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: a totally different animal where it's not even the same format,

588
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, let's go to Augusta National, which

589
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: has nothing uh to do with any of those other tournaments,

590
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: no similarities between those first three, the biggest tournament of

591
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the year, and okay, I'm gonna win there too. To me,

592
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: what separates the best players in the world from that

593
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: next tier of players that the very best can win anywhere, anytime,

594
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: and Scheffler epitomizes that mentality right now. Where he can

595
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: show up at at at a sixty hundred yard golf

596
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: course where you gotta keep it tight and hit it

597
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: on the greens, he can show up in an eight

598
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: thousand yard golf course where you gotta bomb it and

599
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you gotta hit long irons into him and makes pots.

600
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, he's gonna show up and go, Okay,

601
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: I have a chance to win on this golf course.

602
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: Not to me is the most pressive partner right Southern

603
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: Hills his favorite golf course. He won the Big twelve

604
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: Championship there. I got into this discussion a little bit

605
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: with Eddie pepperrell Uh, a European tour pro on on Twitter,

606
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: who said, you know St. Andrews could be great for

607
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: Scheffler as well, because you know, he just got it's

608
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: all about short game. He's got great short game right now.

609
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: Got to make a lot of birdies. He does that.

610
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: And then I replied, and I said, well, he also

611
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: won the API, which looked very much like a US Open.

612
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: And so I guess the conclusion here is congratulations to

613
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: the Scottie on the Scottie Slam. Good luck to everybody

614
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: next year when you come back for the Major's. I

615
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know from a human element, I mean,

616
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: you know better than anyone listening. Being around these guys,

617
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: feels like he's very well like. People just think he's

618
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: a good guy. Yeah, that's Scotty. Excuse me. Billy Horshell

619
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday, and Billy's not even a guy

620
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: that grew up with Scotty Shuffler. Um, you know, certainly

621
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: he's got his buddies Wills, Ala Taurus and Jordan's Speed

622
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: and guys that he grew up playing golf with in

623
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas area. Billy Horschel had him on the radio show.

624
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know Scotty well, and he said, I've

625
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: got a Scotty and just go, hey, I just respect

626
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: the hell out of you. You're such a good player. Um,

627
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: you're such a nice guy. You're doing everything the right way.

628
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: I really like how you go about your business. And yes,

629
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: he is a very popular guy, a popular player. It's

630
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more popular now. Everyone's gonna be

631
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: trying to play practice with rounds with him. Trying to uh,

632
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: either get into that pocket which has ten million dollars

633
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: in it from this season alone already, which is crazy,

634
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: or just trying to get some tips from him, trying

635
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: to glean some advice or maybe just something by usmosis. Okay,

636
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: let's transition to Hilton Head, which you know, it feels

637
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of guys at the top just played

638
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: last week, so it's it's not a bad field at all,

639
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: but it feels like historically, just looking back, not necessarily,

640
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: the favorites win this thing. Before we dive into your

641
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: pick one guy who's had success here who you mentioned

642
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: in your actual network piece, it feels like he's trending

643
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: in the right way would be DJ. You know, I

644
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: would say historically the last three or four years, he'd

645
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: probably be a single digit eight nine to one. Right

646
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: now he's sixteen seventeen to one. I mean, if you

647
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: are going to take a favorite in this tournament, you

648
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: know Morikawa j T. Would would he be the guy's

649
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: probably DJ or Morikawa Um. I like staying away from

650
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: the guys who were serious contention at a major championship

651
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: the week before, but I don't know, even though he

652
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: finished top five, I don't know that I put Morikawa

653
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: in that category because he was never really grinding away

654
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: in contention, so he didn't have that that mental energy

655
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: exerted like Cameron Smith did throughout all four days, and

656
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: so he almost won this last week exactly, I mean

657
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: against Stewarts exactly. So yeah, like Moricow a lot. DJ

658
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: just looks like he's ready to go. He had thirteen

659
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: clubs that he hit really well last week. The one

660
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: he didn't was the driver kept him from scoring on

661
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: the par five's Harbor Town. I'm not even sure DJ

662
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: needs a driver. You can't leave that thing in the

663
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: trunk and just play with thirteen and be absolutely fine

664
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: this week. So I like DJ a lot as well.

665
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm looking at the top of the

666
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: board right there, it's probably those two. I hate to

667
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: leave Justin Thomas off of you know, I'll leave him

668
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: off the card I might. I want to at least

669
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: include him on a list of potential contenders, but right

670
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: below them Shane Lowry, Corey Connors, Matt Fitzpatrick. I mean,

671
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of guys you can look at

672
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: this week and say, boy, I really like that. I

673
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: almost wish all those big names that stayed away because

674
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: this is a week usually you can find some value.

675
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: You can find some uh some shorter, accurate ball striker

676
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: types who can get up and down from around the greens,

677
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: and you can attack those bigger numbers. It's hard to

678
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: attack those bigger numbers when you've got so many big

679
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: names in the field. You mentioned Shane Lowry, and I

680
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: know Lowry said he's playing some of the best golf

681
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: he's ever played. I think he said after Friday it's

682
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: one of the best golf rounds he's played. I look

683
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: not just for this week, but looked at his odds

684
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: for the next three majors, you would think that the

685
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: US Open, the way his game is the Open, and

686
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: even so, I don't know much about Southern Hills, but

687
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's gonna play off that week. Wouldn't shock

688
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: you if you want to major this year Shane Lowry,

689
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: if he the way he's playing right now and the

690
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: way his game translates not at all. I think the

691
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: Open Championship would be the one that most people would

692
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: point to him at. I actually like him better at

693
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: harder golf courses. St. Andrews is gonna play easy. Look.

694
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: I love the old course. It's fantastic. I'm not suggesting

695
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: they should take it out of the rotation or anything

696
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: like that. Guys are gonna shoot under to win. I mean,

697
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: it's it's predicated on the weather. If granted, the wind

698
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: could blow thirty miles an hour every day and it'll

699
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: be much tougher. But if they get four days of

700
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: sunshine and a wee breeze blowing through there, you're gonna

701
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: have to make a lot of birdies. I don't think

702
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Shane Lowry has that kind of firepower, but I do

703
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: think in the US Open, where he can go shoot

704
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: four rounds of seventy and have a really good chance

705
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: of winning, that's the place where I would target him.

706
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Two months from now at Brooklyn. Uh your pick to

707
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: win it? Kevin? Nah? Who's you know again? You know

708
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: he's not the most famous player, but you look up

709
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: the guy as a competitor, and he makes a lot

710
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: of money on the PGA Tour and he wins a

711
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: lot more than you realize. So UH, sell me on Kevin.

712
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: The best ball striking numbers last week at Augusta National Course,

713
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: which doesn't suit his game nearly as well as Harbor

714
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: Town does fifteen career starts, five top tens at this one.

715
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: Looks like he's trending in the right direction. He's got

716
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: that new father narrative. I get it he had kids already,

717
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: but he's a new father again for the third time recently.

718
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: So like him a lot a couple other names. Maverick

719
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: mcneelely has a really nice number. He's a lot longer

720
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: than I thought he would be. Again, that's based on

721
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: all those big names at the top of the board

722
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: pushing everybody else down just a little bit. Mito Pereira's

723
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: a guy that's one on the corn Ferry Tour a

724
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: bunch before he got to the PGA tour. Um. I

725
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: can see a little on him this week. Danny McCarthy

726
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: one of the best putters on Bermuda Greens and then

727
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: Matthew nee Smith had him on the radio show a

728
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: few weeks ago after a third place finish in Tampa,

729
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: and I asked a South Carolina native, I said, if

730
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick you somewhere during the year, whereas it

731
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: he goes, Oh, Harvard Town, love that place, my favorite place.

732
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play well. He is thirty three

733
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour and strokes gained on approach shots

734
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: so far this year. And he's a guy that I

735
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: could see it if not for a winning ticket. He's

736
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: ad two one outright just for a top twenty this week.

737
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a really solid play one name that

738
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: I wrote down because he played here well last last year.

739
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: He had some moments last weekend and his first ever Masters.

740
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: He's from this kind of general era at Harold Varner. Uh,

741
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much win equity has given.

742
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: He's never won the PGA Tour now. Granted he one

743
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: and that Saddy paid a play deal, which was pretty cool.

744
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he beat some really good players there. Obviously

745
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: Hit that put on a team to beat Bubba, But

746
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Harold Varner. You is it fair to say

747
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: he's going to win a PGA golf tournament in his career.

748
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: I certainly think so. I certainly hope so. I love Harold.

749
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: He's been doing some work with us. He has a

750
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: show now on Sirius XM s PGA Tour channel, and

751
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: oh um, he's a very very popular guy amongst his peers,

752
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: amongst the fans, amongst the media. I mean, this is

753
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: the guy that everyone is rooting for. Everyone wants to

754
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: see him go win. Every time he gets into contention,

755
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: something happens. John and I man, I hope that that's

756
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: not a trend. That's just coincidence that we've seen him

757
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: on the weekend near the top of the leaderboard a

758
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: lot because he blew up on Saturday, didn't he goes.

759
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean he blew up this past Saturday. A couple

760
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: of years ago at Rivieria, he's right up there, and

761
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: on Saturday or Sunday top to one off the tenth tea.

762
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: A few years before that p g A at at

763
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: beth Page he played terribly on the weekend when he

764
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: got himself into contention. It's just it's it's getting to

765
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: be more than just once or twice. I mean, this

766
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: has been a while now where um where Varner gets

767
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: himself into the mix. He's certainly talented to go play

768
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: some good golf, but just can't get it done on

769
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: the weekend. I know Saudi Arabia made that big Egal

770
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: against Bubba Watson to win that one, and that should

771
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: be good for his confidence level one in Australia a

772
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: few years before that, but I still I need to

773
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: see him do it on the PJ Tour. I I

774
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: honestly don't think this is a great Harold Varner course. Um,

775
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean he's a very good player and

776
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm certainly rooting for it. One thing I do like

777
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 1: about what he did last week is he shot eighty

778
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday after sitting with Scott van Pelt, came back

779
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: the next day a little mental fortitude shot sixty nine.

780
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying necessarily for this week, but

781
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: he's a guy that when you see the sixties seventy

782
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: to one odds and some of these tournaments that you

783
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: don't have the most loaded fields, I just think over

784
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: the next couple of years, he's gonna win one. You're

785
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna win it at like seventy five to

786
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: one or sixty five to one. Yeah, he probably is.

787
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: I will say, shooting three under in the final round

788
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: is a lot easier after you shoot eighty in the

789
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: third round. As the man from from right made a

790
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: career really quick lass on on Rory. Do you put

791
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: much stock into that or is that just kind of

792
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: what he does? It is what he does. I put

793
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: stock into it. I mean I you know, I was

794
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: joking around about all narratives on Twitter, but look, this

795
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: is a a viable trend now that Rory, whether he

796
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: shoots himself out of the tournament or just doesn't quite

797
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: play well enough over the first three days, he he

798
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: just doesn't quite get it done. The nerves are there,

799
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: the anxiety is there. I know he wants to win augusta. Uh.

800
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: He wants to win the Master's Green Jacket more than

801
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: anything in the world. And then once he's out of it,

802
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: he goes, Okay, let me just exhale and Okay, now

803
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: I can go out and play some really good golf.

804
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: And he needs to kind of figure that out and

805
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: turn it around. I joked on Twitter, and have people

806
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: still yelling at me two days later. Um that you know,

807
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: years from now, we're gonna look back at his Wikipedia

808
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: page and say, wow, what a great week for Rory.

809
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: In fact of the matter is it wasn't a great week.

810
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: It was a great day. He had a great final round.

811
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: He did not have a great week. At no point

812
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday, Friday or Saturday did we look at Rory

813
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: mclew and say, man, he's playing great. This is really

814
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: good to see he was very average for three days,

815
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: played his best golf. I think it helps his confidence

816
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: level moving fore word that he knows, hey, I can

817
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: do it when I want to do it, when I

818
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: need to do it on the final round at the

819
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: biggest tournament of the year. But he's got to do

820
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: a little bit better on those first three rounds, especially

821
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: at the Major. Has been eight years now and he's

822
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: still looking for number five. Do do you like him

823
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: at any of the majors this year? Or I like

824
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: him your I mean, like just put Rory on your card. Yes,

825
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: I like him at all of them. I don't love

826
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: him at any of them because because of this trend.

827
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's not like, oh, well, you

828
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: know there was one week in Augusta where he didn't

829
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: play great to start and then he played great at

830
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: the end. Um And I'm not a backdoor finish kind

831
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: of guy. I don't like that terminology. Uh you know, look,

832
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: if if you're gonna play your best, play your best

833
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, not on Thursday at I'm a true believer

834
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: in that. That said, he's a guy that's learned how

835
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: to win major championships. Now it feels like he's forgotten

836
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: how to win them, and now it feels like he's

837
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: only playing when he's sort of at it. He's He's

838
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: the NBA team that goes into the fourth quarter down

839
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: twenty and then has a re pointer to maybe tie

840
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: it up with a minute left and misses, and all

841
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, oh, we gave a good run.

842
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, we came from behind, but oh well, you know,

843
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: and you know we played when the pressure was off.

844
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: So I'd love to see it. I think Rory's games

845
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: suits every golf course in the world, you know, like

846
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: I was saying about Scheffler, what separates the best from

847
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: the rest is that the best can win any place, anytime.

848
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: Rory is certainly included in that. I just gotta see it.

849
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: I gotta see him go out there and have that

850
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: sort of winning attitude, that competitive fire and desire. It

851
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: does feel like, I know Cam Smith had a rough Sunday,

852
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: but guys like camp Smith, Scotty Scheffler, they're just better

853
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: wedge players than Rory, you know, just really good with

854
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: the wedges. I mean, they are just world class. It

855
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: feels like some of the high end American guys, I

856
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: mean Camp Smith's Nazi, but just the high end guys

857
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: right now, you feel very like forty yard shot. You're like, yeah,

858
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna knock at the three feet and they

859
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: always do basic until Sunday. I can't even remember the

860
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: last time where I saw Rory just knocking down flagsticks

861
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: with Johns. He doesn't do it. You look at the stats.

862
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: He's just he needs to improve. And this has been

863
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: a while now, this has been a few years now

864
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: where you know that part of his game needs to improve. Look,

865
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: everyone's got a little part of their game they can

866
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: improve on, and if it's but but DJ DJ went

867
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: to another level when he really focused on those wedges.

868
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: He just became a dominant place. And you look at

869
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: you look at what Cheffler what was it seventeen on

870
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: Sunday and it was kind of over by then. Cheffler

871
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: hit one a little crooked and have to kind of

872
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: punch out, and he had a hundred something into the

873
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: hole knocked into a foot and it's like you go from,

874
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm in a little bit of trouble too.

875
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: I'll just punch out and then I'll just knock it

876
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: right at the flagstick and make my part no big deal.

877
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: And so when you have the confidence to do that,

878
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: it opens up every other aspect of your game. Now

879
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: it's hey, let me grab driver off the tea and

880
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: try to slam this driver, take a little risk on

881
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work out, I have the confidence

882
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: that I can punch out because my wedge game is

883
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: so good. I can knock it on the green and

884
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: you're not hitting your wedges the way you need to.

885
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: It all kind of works in reverse, and it goes

886
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: back to the team. We're standing over your tea shot going, well,

887
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: I better hit this one in the fairway because if

888
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: I miss it to the right, then I'm gonna have

889
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: to punch out. And if I punch out, I'm not

890
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: sure I can get it close. And if I can't

891
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: get it close, and I'm making a bogey at best,

892
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: and so all of a sudden, the whole thing snowball.

893
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, having that wedge game can bail you out

894
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of problems, and it allows you to

895
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: be a lot more aggressive out there on the golf course.

896
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: So boy, I appreciate the time. And hopefully your master's

897
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: hangover in your car is doing good and we can

898
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: just transition. It is major season. Now we start rattling

899
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: off the majors. This is when it starts getting good.

900
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: I know the Masters is probably the peak, but we

901
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: got three to get it. I get it. Can I

902
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: get a day off before we get to the next three? Please?

903
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: At least you you already know who's gonna win Southern Hills, right,

904
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: So if you just put Scotty Scheffle on the top

905
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: of your board and you just move on. Did you

906
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: see John rob By the way he is the favorite

907
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: right now at the PGA Championship. I have feeling that

908
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: might change over the next few weeks. I do too.

909
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: I think Scotti Scheffler is gonna start being about five

910
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: he went Southern Hills, He'll be like five to one

911
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: to go into the US Open. You know that's all

912
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: about that's all about the books, getting the free PR

913
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: where they leave John rom just just one point ahead

914
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: of Scheffler. Uh in the books. Then all the uh

915
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, ESPN dot com and Dolf Channel and dolf

916
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: dot com they're all writing these stories about like, wow,

917
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: Rom is favorite over Scheffler. It's called free PR. Guys.

918
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: You bit right into it and you gave them all

919
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: the free pr thanks so well. Have a good guy too. Okay,

920
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: let's go a little go Low mail bag at go

921
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: Low Pod at gol pod is the Instagram slide up

922
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: into those d m s and get your question answered

923
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: here on the show. J T fourteen to one from Jackson.

924
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: That's just that's the d M. I don't love favorites

925
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: in tournaments like this, um I talked just if you listen,

926
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: I think this comes after sobel. I like a Harold Varner,

927
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: a Maverick McNeely, a nice smith. I like taking fly

928
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: as on some of these random tournaments. I do think

929
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: that JT is showing enough. Like to me, the bet

930
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: would be j T at the p J Championship or

931
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: the US Open, or even the even the British Open.

932
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: Like if you told me JT wins a major this year,

933
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: I believe it. I actually am gonna gamble on him

934
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: on all three majors. To me, j T and Shane

935
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: Lowry are gonna be three guys that I've bet on

936
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: to win majors. Thanks for the FanDuel tip on DJ

937
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: and Roy to make the cut. I just got into

938
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: betting a couple of weeks ago. What do you listen

939
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: to for golf betting tips. I read Sobel's article. I

940
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: listened to, uh the tour junkies that they have a

941
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: podcast and have a YouTube channel they dive deep into gambling. Um,

942
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean I just watched a lot of golf,

943
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: so I got a pretty good feel. And then I

944
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: do you know, my own research of just look at

945
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and who's playing well. But

946
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of the extent on and like, I don't

947
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: view myself as a handicapper, but I'm glad that you

948
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: want to little cache John, longtime follow, appreciate you deeply.

949
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy Tiger social post. It's been a special

950
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: run last year on the tour. Maybe did say comments

951
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: about the other majors too. I I think it's more

952
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: just excitement. I don't think he's going anywhere unless he's

953
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: in a lot more pain than he's letting on. And

954
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: he was definitely in pain. But do you know what

955
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Luke Donald, not Luke Donald, Paul

956
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: Casey and then Louis Eustasian both withdrew with bad backs

957
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: and listen, I've never had that bad of a back,

958
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: but I understand it's painful. Tiger's got a fuse fucking

959
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: back in a rod, in a brill, you know, an

960
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: ankle that doesn't even exist. He didn't withdraw. What do

961
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: you think he thinks with like Louis who w d

962
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: s in his own group, Like Louis bro I'm in

963
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: more pain than you. I'm put Tiger even said I

964
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: put together like Humpty dumpty. And this guy is withdrawing

965
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: with a store back. You know, Tiger is Tiger is

966
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: wired like he's Walter Payton or Lawrence Taylor. Scheffler putting

967
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: on a serious clinic, but nobody cares. Everyone's still falling Tiger. Hell,

968
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same question. Has Tiger shines so bright

969
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: that anyone is just a distant second? Scheffler could be

970
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: the next speed or Rom win a bunch of tournaments

971
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: in short span, then lose the ability to put or

972
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: perform in big spots. I like Tiger more than ever.

973
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: All the BS shows he's human and relatable. I agree, Yeah,

974
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: I just think it'd be like if Michael Jordan came

975
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: back to the NBA. He's just infinitely bigger. It's just

976
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: not even close. So it's not a reflection on Scheffler

977
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: or Jordan's speech, or Justin Thomas or Bryson or whoever.

978
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: Tiger is just he is the needle. You know, he

979
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: doesn't move the needle. He is for the entire sport.

980
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: There's just nothing you can do. He's just that famous.

981
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 1: My man, Tiger is plus one through two rounds, made

982
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: the cut and is right in the thick of things,

983
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: even though Scheffler is on fire. Question tie here with

984
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: this devastating injury is obviously not We see him limping.

985
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: If Tiger was actually healthy, isn't he conceivable that he'd

986
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: be a top three players in the world. Steer Still,

987
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 1: it's insane to watch him still in the fight, even

988
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: though he's compromised. Granted, Saturday Sunday is gonna be rough

989
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: for him. Obviously this was before. If Tiger had never

990
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: had back injuries or this ankle injury, yeah, I mean,

991
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: he'd be He'd have been one of the best players

992
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: in the world in his forties. Now, he wouldn't have

993
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: been as good as he was in his twenties and thirties,

994
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: but he would have flown past Jack to me if

995
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: he had stayed healthy and never had to get a

996
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: back fusion, and definitely the ankle injury. And remember the

997
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: back fusion. His back was hurting in two thousand twenty one,

998
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: so the back injury kind of came and went to me.

999
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: He probably wins twenty two, twenty three majors because he could.

1000
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: He could rattle off the major like every other year.

1001
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: I think how many years he missed. I don't even

1002
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: think it would be close. If he could have had

1003
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: a durable career like Tom Brady, he would have done

1004
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: what Tom Brady did. Like Tom Brady won seven Super Bowls.

1005
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: No one's ever gonna win seven super Bowls to meet

1006
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods would have won. He's got fifteen probably and

1007
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: it'd just be like, yeah, no one's touching that. I think.

1008
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. I work at a

1009
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company in Boston and have been on my a

1010
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: V team to have the TV's ready anyway. I initially

1011
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: found you through Colin and heard him joke maybe serious

1012
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: about never hiring guys who love golf because it consumes

1013
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: their life? Did you hide your love of golf when

1014
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: you first met him to join the Volume family. Also

1015
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: heard you and Soabol talk about how certain guys don't

1016
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: play well in Florida. Why is that humidity? Grass texture?

1017
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend, Go Tiger. Well, I've been doing a

1018
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: pod for Coward for two years before the volume, and

1019
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I've loved golf for

1020
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: thirty years. I love golf. When I worked in the NFL,

1021
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: football at this current time pays the bills, so I

1022
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: during football season and the off season, like, I'm not

1023
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: missing football podcast to play golf like football like my job.

1024
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: This is why you know relationships have been hit or

1025
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: missed for me comes first. Now it's gonna you know,

1026
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: I was getting older. You can have settled down eventually,

1027
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: but like I, I take the ship pretty seriously. It's

1028
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: why I wanted to do a golf podcast, not because

1029
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't play four times a week. I watch way

1030
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: more golf than I play. So if I'm like, I'm

1031
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna watch golf, like yeah, I'm gonna, I'm anna addict

1032
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: to watching golf and then I've created a podcast around it.

1033
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: But it's not like, you know, Middle Coffee missed that

1034
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: Thursday night football podcast because he was out at the

1035
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: club championship, Like that's not happening, And I like I

1036
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. Like, I take this pretty seriously now

1037
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: if you you know I I'm also not good like

1038
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: in the sense of, you know, I'm like a four

1039
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: on paper right now, probably playing like a seven or eight.

1040
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not going out and shooting under par where

1041
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: I want to play NonStop. Honestly, half the times I play,

1042
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: I think to myself, I'm not fucking doing this for

1043
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: like a month. So it's just I don't know how

1044
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: to quite to describe that, you know, I think sometimes

1045
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: it gets overblown. I also think like I'm not a

1046
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: big retirement guy because like what, I couldn't play golf

1047
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: six days a week. I wouldn't even want to do that.

1048
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: I like playing a couple of days a week, and

1049
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: I like doing like I'm I'm much better at doing

1050
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: this talking for a living than I am at playing golf.

1051
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not bad at golf. I but I do,

1052
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: like I've said this before, football, like our football podcast

1053
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: is big and for everyone listening, I appreciate it. It's

1054
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: been awesome, But I don't get to play football, you know. Now.

1055
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: I know, like I'm lucky enough to know Andy Reid

1056
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: or Howie Roseman or I can text John Lynch or whatever,

1057
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: like I can't text Phil Mickelson or Tiger or Jordan's

1058
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what these people. So my relationship

1059
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: is just so different. I get to kind of be

1060
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: a fan, which is cool, which I enjoy, and just

1061
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: watch it and talk about it positively. I can football,

1062
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like calling for people's jobs, and it's

1063
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: just it's just a different relationship and I actually really

1064
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And it's been healthy for me to be

1065
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: able to talk about this. But I'm not I might

1066
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: have just joined the club, but I'm not playing as

1067
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: much golf. I actually don't think most people play as

1068
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: much golf, even the golf lovers as you think. I

1069
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: think that can be a little overrated, because that's a

1070
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: pat riley thing. Like the first thing he'd do if

1071
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: he thought about hiring you was open your trunk and

1072
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: see if you've got a golf clubs. Now you can

1073
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: open my trunk a lot of time. My golf clubs

1074
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: are back there, but sometimes like I haven't used them

1075
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: in a month. But I love golf and I'm an addict.

1076
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: I think about like I'll be laying in bed thinking

1077
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: about why I double crossed it on a whole four team,

1078
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: which I don't get to think about, Like, you know

1079
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: that one time when I was in high school and

1080
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: I was a pulling guard, Like I don't even think

1081
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: about that anymore. But my relationship with football in high

1082
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: school was awesome. I loved it. I just sucked. I'm

1083
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: really not that great at golf either, but I'm You're

1084
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: just able to play the rest of your life. That's

1085
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: a good question. If you could pick a single Tiger

1086
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: Major win to be able to go back in time

1087
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: and see live in person, which one would you pick?

1088
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: And why? Uh probably be two thousand eight at Tory

1089
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: Pines when he won it with a torn a c

1090
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: L and a broken leg. Basically that would have been

1091
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: I remember watching that. I was moving from cow Poly

1092
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: to go work at Fresno State at the football program,

1093
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: and we had all moved out, but my buddy Trent

1094
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: and yos On still at a TV at this house

1095
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: that his family owned, and I just remember watching it

1096
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday and then going back over there and rewatching

1097
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: it and watching it on Monday. So it'd probably be

1098
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: that or the nineteen Masters would have been pretty cool.

1099
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: But I don't I just don't think you can see

1100
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: anything at the Masters. You probably couldn't have seen anything

1101
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: back then either, but it would be one of those

1102
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: because the problem is that, like, do we really talk

1103
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: about into the nineties seven Masters that much? I just

1104
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it comes up in conversation that much.

1105
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: Or even the two thousand one US Open when he

1106
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: won at at Pebble Beach, It doesn't feel like it

1107
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: comes up that often. Maybe the the one moment I

1108
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: think would have been pretty cool to be at the

1109
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: sixteenth Green when he chipped it in in two thousand

1110
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: five when he beat Chris de Marco. That would have

1111
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: been pretty badass. That would have been pretty sweet. I

1112
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: do think the Tour Championship when he won that in eighteen,

1113
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: it was like he's back. It's not a major, but

1114
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: that would be pretty badass too. Maybe some of those

1115
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer's. He had some pretty sweet moments at the

1116
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer where he like made fifty footers to win

1117
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: it on Sunday. Tiger is a badass. I mean, you

1118
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: could any of his tournaments. You'd never forget. I'm the

1119
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: biggest Tiger fan no one has talked about. Brady has

1120
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: played pro football his whole life and looks thirty. Tiger

1121
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: has played pro golf his whole life and looks sixty.

1122
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: I get the accident, but even before that, do you

1123
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: even play a metrics pro? I think the major difference,

1124
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: and you could see it in Tiger at the Masters,

1125
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: Tiger lifts a lot like Tiger. It's heavy. I bet

1126
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,760
Speaker 1: it's not even close. The last decade, Tiger lifts way

1127
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: more consistently than Tom. Tom doesn't lift heavy weights. Tom does,

1128
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: like you said, uh pliability, stretches. Tiger is in the

1129
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: gym doing like eighty pound dumbbell, you know, curls and

1130
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: and overhead press and doing that ship. Tom doesn't touch

1131
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 1: the weights. And clearly Tiger eats really well. I would

1132
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: imagine his diet is fantastic. But to me, I think

1133
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 1: Tiger probably drinks and takes some pills. You know, that's

1134
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: not Tom's pretty healthy. I think that. I think that's

1135
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: a huge, you know, kind of curveball Tom's health, like

1136
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: what he puts in his body and what Tiger puts

1137
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: his body. I'm not saying that Tiger doesn't drink. I've

1138
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: I've heard you know, you have some cocktails. Um now

1139
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: I don't know the guy, but I think Tom is

1140
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: Tom is about as healthy as you can be. You

1141
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,280
Speaker 1: think Ricky Fowler rever get another legit shot at a mayor.

1142
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: Is he done past his prime? Yeah? I just don't

1143
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: know if he's any good anymore. Relative he doesn't hit

1144
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: the ball very far relative to the rest of the tour.

1145
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: He was an elite putter in his prime. That so

1146
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: what he hung his hat on. He was like one

1147
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: of the best putters on tour. He's no longer that.

1148
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: So when you don't hit the ball far anymore, the

1149
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: tour has kind of gone to that and you don't

1150
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: dominate on the greens. Hard to be an elite player

1151
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: for a long period of time. The sport was a

1152
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: little bit less about that, and he could dominate on

1153
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: the greens. He was an incredible putter. Well, if you're

1154
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: not an incredible putter, like, what's he hanging his hat on,

1155
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: you gotta hang your hat on something right to me?

1156
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: DJ is like obviously length, but his wedges are pretty good.

1157
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, Rory incredible driver and a great iron player

1158
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: when he's on, but he's not a great wedge player.

1159
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: But he hits the ball so far who cares right.

1160
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: You watch Scottie Scheffler. He's a great shot maker, but

1161
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: a short Him and camp Smith their ability around the green,

1162
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: those two guys with a wedge. Camp Smith is incredible,

1163
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: like Victor Hovlin stinks at chipping awful, but his ball

1164
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: striking is incredible. Calling Marikawa incredible iron striker, the best

1165
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: iron player on tour right now, calling Mark How John

1166
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: Romp His putting is terrible right now, but when he's

1167
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: on total package, can fucking do it all. D Shambo

1168
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: hitting it eight, d Miles Kepka, great pressure player, great

1169
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: big tournament player. Also can hit it really far and

1170
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: put really well. Jordan's just an incredible shot maker. The

1171
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: dude can just make things happen out of nowhere. What's

1172
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: what does Ricky hanging his hat on? You know? I

1173
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: just you go through all the top American guys like

1174
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: Xander's kind of falling off, like what sand are doing

1175
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: well right now? Think about the American guys that are

1176
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: doing well, they're all they all hang their hat on

1177
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: something specific. Mark how is a great example. Dominates with

1178
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: irons in his hand, Rory dominates with the driver in

1179
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: his hand. DJ when he's on he's just he's just

1180
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,959
Speaker 1: a clinic. Three thirty in the fairway on the green,

1181
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: putting for birdies. I just wanted to give you a

1182
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: shout out. Love the pod started listening to your football

1183
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: pot now the go Low pot. Great, love them both.

1184
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: But as a golf nut, go low is where it's at.

1185
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm just a golf nut, you know

1186
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: who Colin doesn't have to worry about. Again, not lazy.

1187
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: We didn't we didn't raise, we didn't work this. This

1188
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: pays the bills, not golf. So playing golf watching it actually,

1189
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, made way more money watching it than I

1190
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: ever have playing because I've lost a lot of money

1191
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: on the golf course. But got it. You know, it's

1192
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: just just a great game, you know. It really is.

1193
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: The Other thing unique about golf too, which why I

1194
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: love the PGA Tour is like once the NFL season ends,

1195
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: it keeps me going from basically you know, the combine

1196
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: to a training camp. I just get majors, I get

1197
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: memorial I get the players, I get Rivieria, even the

1198
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup, you know, right in early September this year,

1199
00:59:55,720 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: the President's Cup. So yeah, have a good week. I'll

1200
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: be back in a couple of days. See Everyone's coming

1201
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: after Dan Snyder? Who knows by this time on Friday,

1202
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Dan Snyder is not even the owner audios. The

1203
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: volume
