16
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm John Middlecoff back at it again. The schedule this

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: week is obviously a little weird because the match play,

18
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: so everything is starting today. So me and Sobel did

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: some big picture gambling picks winners. We didn't pick the

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: groups because they've already started by the time you're listening

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: to this nothing we can really do, but I'll give

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts off the top on just some

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: guys that I like. The Masters is two weeks away, Um,

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: can't wait. I mean, doesn't get any better. The Final Four,

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: which I still got U c l A. So if

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: U c l A wins, it all nailed that future

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: and then the Masters. I I already got a little

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: future bet on Victor Hoblin. I think I might put

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: a couple hundred dollars on Justin Thomas. Um maybe Kepka.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm still kind of I'm still working

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: through it in my mind, but you better believe there's

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of action coming from this household.

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Uh just some quick toots just on match play in general,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Sam Burns. The talent that's coming from the SEC, it

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: shows you a rising tide lifts all boats. The money

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: that has come in from football has benefited all the

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: other sports in the SEC, basketball directly because they're paying

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: a premium for coaches, Baseball, I mean their programs. They've

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: always been a big time baseball program or conference. They're

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: going to another level. And the Gulf. I mean I

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: looked up at the leaderboard last week Justin Thomas Davis Riley,

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: both Alabama guys, Sam Burns l s U. I'm like,

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: I wonder where niemiss it from. I just guessed. I'm like,

44
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: I bet he's from the SEC South Carolina. It's just

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: it shows you man, Uh, money money talks, nothing else matters. Uh.

46
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson, big story there no longer coming to Augusta.

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Uh have a couple takes there and then Netflix. I

48
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: read an interesting tweet thread from the Drive Just Survive

49
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: series that F one did and the impact it had

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: in America, and it was fascinating, And I think there's

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot on the line when it comes to this

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: golf show. I don't know what they're gonna call it,

53
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: birdies and bars, go go Low. I mean, you can

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: take it, just give me a little cut, but I

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: I really think it could influence the sport. And of

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: course at go lo Pod is the Instagram that's where

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: you slide into the d m s, get your question

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: answered here on the show at go low Pod, at

59
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: gol Pod is the instagram firing those d m s.

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Give it a follow, I give my picks and just

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: other golf takes up there trying to separate the two accounts.

62
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: My my personal account is just mainly me fucking around

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: and uh posting football stuff and other than that, I

64
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: just do all my golf stuff on go low pod.

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: So let's start with the match player. I actually think

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: it's very relatable because most people, once you start playing golf,

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you get a buddy, whatever club you go do, whatever

68
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: public course you go do with your group, with the

69
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: guys you play with, eventually you're gonna play some match play.

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: And it's a very relatable format because it allows you

71
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: to get a double triple bogeye. No one cares your

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: only drop a shot. It's what makes this tournament so unique.

73
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: A guy that would normally shoot, you know, seventy four,

74
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: but he also had five birdies can easily like you

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: could have a quad. It doesn't matter. You just pick

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: up you know, you one. And the best part about golf,

77
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: like unlike football or baseball or basketball, those games never

78
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: change all season long. Yet in the sport of golf,

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, you have different formats. Right, you have just

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: stroke play, which is the majority of the time. Then

81
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: you get the President's Cup, the Ryder Cups, some team events,

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: and then you get a unique format like this in

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: match play, which is obviously very very popular in the

84
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: amateur world. You know, it's how the US amateurs played,

85
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: That's how a lot of college golf tournaments, you know,

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: the National Championship for team golf. That's the way it's played.

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a fun watch. It's different now

88
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: there's risk involved because I saw a staff that two

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: of the top sixteen last year advanced to the sweet

90
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: sixteen for the most part in the n C Double

91
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: A tournament. I think, who's still alive? Right u C

92
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: l A hell, even North Carolina, I know they're an

93
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: eight seed, but Gonzaga, Duke Perdue, you got Arizona, you

94
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: still got a lot of Now you've got the occasional St. Peter's.

95
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: But a lot of times what can happen in match plays?

96
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: You look up and a lot of lower seated guys

97
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: are playing on Saturday and Sunday for the most part.

98
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: When you get a feel field of this level in

99
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: stroke play, like if Austin Country Club this week it

100
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: was just a stroke play event, I would imagine four

101
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: of the top fifteen guys would be in the mix

102
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: comes Sunday minimum, where in the match play there's a

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: chance we get a final four where there ain't one

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: I in the final flour that's the top twenty player. Now,

105
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: as a golf nerd, I find that cool, but I

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: get from the television partners and from golf it could

107
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: be a little risky. It's why they don't do a

108
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: true March madness, you know, one and done, because you

109
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: you could get to Friday and everyone's gone. This is

110
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: the right way to do it, group stage, you know,

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: like World Cup style, so you guarantee Dustin Johnson's the keptos,

112
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: the Justin Thomas is this piece three rounds, but come

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Saturday there is a decent chance that ten of the

114
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: sixteen names are not needle movers. And by the time

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: we get to the final four. It was always really

116
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: risky with Tiger, you know, he could just get bounced

117
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: very early. And the times have changed a little bit, right.

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: The depth of talent is way bigger than when Tiger played.

119
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: But obviously he's bigger than anyone playing now. But they

120
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: just have more names more. I would say universal to

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: sports fans, um so I I enjoyed this week and

122
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm i my picks. I think Justin Thomas and Zander

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: if you want to take two guys that are, you know,

124
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: near the top in terms of odds. Uh. Part of

125
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: the is the Brackett loves Zander's path to the final four.

126
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I think Justin Thomas, I'm tempted to put like five

127
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: on him for the Masters at liket to one. I

128
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: think there's a chance him in bones dominate and when

129
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the Masters buy a couple of shots, because he's hitting

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: the ball as well as anyone right now, and his

131
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: short game is elite. It's just about making putts. I

132
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: want to say short game, I mean chipping and putting.

133
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Like I have a I have a bet on Victor Hoblin.

134
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel that great about it. He han't chip.

135
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: He's a terrible chipper. I was watching him last week

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: at where they just play the snake the snake pit Ailesworth.

137
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's just a bad chipper. Now,

138
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: if he hits every green, maybe he can do it,

139
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be very, very difficult. Like Justin Thomas

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: this week, like Xander this week. I like Alex Norn

141
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: in general, and he has a lot on the line too.

142
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: He's fifty six right now on top fifty gets into

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the Master, but his group's hard Casey who stays in.

144
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's a tough Corey Connors elite

145
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: ball striker, not a great putter, but it's just gonna

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: be hard for him to make it out. Terrell Hatton

147
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: if he can just be Daniel Berger. I think at

148
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: thirty three to one the reason I like Nora, and

149
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: if he does get out of the group at at

150
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: basically sixty fifty to one, the odds have moved a

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: little bit on FanDuel, But I mean he's got he's

152
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: got win equity for a guy that's you know, quote

153
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: unquote a long shot, and then some super sleepers would

154
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: be like Math McNeely is a guy that you know,

155
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you could look up and just be in the final

156
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: four at one. Taylor Gooch is in d shambo D Shambo.

157
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I saw he said today in his press conference he

158
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: can't even swing full because of the wrist. So this

159
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: is a guy that hasn't played competitively and feels like

160
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: what forever, So I'm not expecting much out of him.

161
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I think Taylor Gooch wins that group pretty easily, and

162
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: then it's just you know, rom DJ Pepka are guys

163
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: that could win their you know their groups, and you know,

164
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: can you take the one of those guys get upset?

165
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: Does DJ even care? Is Keptca super locked in? Though

166
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Keptka just played pretty well last week? Uh so Gooch

167
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: math Mcmcneil Neelye and man Brian Harmon is another guy

168
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: like because I do think unlike the n C Double

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: A tournament, I do like picking guys in the middle

170
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: of the lower tier in this thing. You can't just

171
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: hammer the ROMs the Dustin Johnson because that's the way

172
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: it plays out. You look up last year it's Billy

173
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Horshell against Scottie Scheffler, and at the time Scottie Scheffler

174
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly Scottie Scheffler. So times change. And speaking of

175
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, is it looked and it still does. To

176
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: be a great American golfer right now is really really hard,

177
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: and ultimately I think it's a great American golfer. You know,

178
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: your judge on your world ranking, but like, are you

179
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: playing on the President's Cup team? And definitely the Ryder

180
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Cup team? And last year our Ryder Cup team was stupid.

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean it was beyond stacked, right. I mean the

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: last couple of guys were like Harris English and Daniel

183
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Berger and I actually later I asked so boy, like,

184
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: where the hell's Harris English and he heard his hip.

185
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: I guess that the waste management. He's been injured. But

186
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: to me, Harris English isn't gonna be on the President

187
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Cup to this team, Tony Fenow is in shambles right now,

188
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Like he's not gonna be on the President Cup team

189
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: right now. Scottie Scheffler won two tournaments like the last month.

190
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Sam Burns has three wins in the last year. Like,

191
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: these guys are locks to be mainstays. Bryson D. Shambo,

192
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: who is making his return this week. One is injured,

193
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: Two is not very high on just the you know,

194
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: the fedexce list right now he has been playing. And

195
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: three like, are we sure he ain't just gonna go

196
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: to the Saudi League because I'll tell you this, and

197
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: they're paying three and a half million dollars. I don't

198
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: care if they broadcast thing on YouTube on Instagram, it

199
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: don't matter. I think Bryson D. Sjambo it has a

200
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: very very good chance of ending up in that league

201
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: because he's a money guy. He's obsessed with money, fills

202
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: in his ear and I I think there's a decent

203
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: chance so to me, Sam Burns and Scottie Scheffler, you know,

204
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: are just locks to be on the team, Like they're

205
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: gonna be top five or six players potentially on this team.

206
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: We see DJ Kepka. I mean, we'll see now the

207
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Major's coming up easily, one of these guys could rattle

208
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: off a major. But Bryson's health. DJ is just overall

209
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: play and I don't even know if he cares, and

210
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: Brooks just needs to continue to play better. But you know,

211
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Mora cow was a lock. You know, Speed had a

212
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: really good season last year. We want to see moving forward,

213
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: like how's it gonna go in the Majors? Is he

214
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a top five guy at the Masters like

215
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: he was last year? Because if he isn't, he'll be

216
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: around Xander's not going anywhere. You know, JT is a

217
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: lock to be a top two or three player on

218
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: that team. But we got a lot of moving parts

219
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: in terms of UH, in terms of team golf, which

220
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: is which is fun because the talent is so elite,

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: like Sam Burns, Scottie Scheffler. These guys are blue chippers,

222
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Like I would bet on both those guys winning a

223
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: major in their career. You know, hard is to win

224
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: a major in your career? You know, good of a

225
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: golfer you are if you're like I'm a major champion,

226
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: like Adam Scott, his career is gonna end with one major?

227
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, fucking good Adam Scott is at golf? How

228
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: many major Sergio win? Last night? Jacked one the Masters

229
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: and Sergio Garcia, Like, it's really really hard to win

230
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: these majors. I think John Rob's gonna win like ten,

231
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: but he's only got one. He doesn't win that many tournaments.

232
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: I love John rom but is he gonna rattle off ten?

233
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Or is he more likely to win like three? You

234
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: don't love Justin Thomas. Think he's gonna be an all timer? Like,

235
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: is he more likely to win three or six? You

236
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: probably say three. I think he's got a chance to

237
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: go down. It's like one of the greats. But these guys,

238
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not here to bag on the older guys,

239
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: but it was just easier to win him in like

240
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: and I love Lee Trevino, love Jack and Arnie, but

241
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: the fields weren't as deep hell Tiger, I think my

242
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: greatest athlete I've ever seen right there with Michael and

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: his competition was like, yeah, they're you know, ten legit

244
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: guys like really like five six that he had to

245
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: really worry about. Now you gotta worry about like twenty five.

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: So I propped to see him Burns who won that tournament.

247
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: It's just hard, man, It's hard to be a guy

248
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: like Davis Riley, who is a stud from Alabama. Uh,

249
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: dominated on the corn Ferry's gonna be in the PGA

250
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Tour for a long time. The first time you get

251
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: into contention. I said this the other day on the

252
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Football Pod, It's so much easier to hunt. It's so

253
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: much easier to be the chase, the guy chasing the Patriots,

254
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: the team chasing the Chiefs. It's another thing to be

255
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Patriots. Everybody gunning for you. Think

256
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: about being Alabama every week, literally every team they've played

257
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: for seven eight a decade, it's been the biggest game

258
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: on their schedule. Thirteen games a year are the other

259
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: team's biggest game of the schedule by a mile. Yet

260
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: for Alabama they have like two or three of the

261
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: biggest games out of the thirteen and beside the playoff games. Right,

262
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: so it is so much harder to be at the

263
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: top of the mountaintop and have everyone gunning for you.

264
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: And speaking of being at the top of the mountaintop,

265
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Phil Bickerson's a good life lesson of how fast and

266
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: listen as someone that talks for a living and can

267
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: just say a lot of crazy things. Uh now, I

268
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: believe everything I say, but sometimes I can just get

269
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: flown and it's like, yeah, I should probably be careful

270
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: about what I've said. I've definitely changed my Twitter strategy,

271
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: not because I give a ship, but just because it's

272
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: not worth it. You know, less than nine percent of

273
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: society is on it. It's such a small group, tiny percentage.

274
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: I think like three percent of actors users actually tweet.

275
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: It's such a small subset. It's not like I'm you're

276
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: playing to the masses. It ain't. It's the least powerful

277
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: of all the big social media brands by a mile.

278
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: You know, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok blow it out of the

279
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: water in terms of users, in the amount of people there.

280
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: But Twitter, because it's the written word, it feels so

281
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: loud it's actually not that loud. That's why when you

282
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: turn it off and you go intociety, no one's talking

283
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: about it. It's just like, what am I gaining out

284
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: of this talking ship to some whack quack job weirdo.

285
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't It's pointless. Now, I am guilt. Sometimes every

286
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: once in a while, you know, get into spats or whatever,

287
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: but there's not much point to it. And Phil, you know,

288
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: obviously said things that you know there's a difference between

289
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: arguing with someone on Twitter and saying things about Saudi

290
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Arabia people dying and human atrocities, right, And he clearly

291
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: got over his skis and he got cocky. And I

292
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: think sometimes I never feel I'm the smartest guy in

293
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: the room. I know I'm not. I'm state school guy.

294
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: I have to I have to out work you. I

295
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna necessarily outthink you. Maybe I got I

296
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: got common sense, but intellectually, like you get into a

297
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: room with the people fills in the room with it

298
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: feels probably never the smartest guy in the room. But

299
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I think you spend enough time around him and because

300
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: he's a great golf for everyone starts kissing your ass.

301
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: You start believing that. Now, who knows, and maybe it

302
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: could happen to any of us, right, even those of

303
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: us that acknowledge, like you know, we most of rooms

304
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: where we walk into we're not the smartest guy in

305
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: the room. But if I'm one of the richest guys

306
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: in the room and everyone's kissing my ass, you start

307
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: thinking you are. And clearly I think Phil kind of

308
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: fell under that, and he's made these statements and he

309
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: thought the PGA tour screwing him, even though everyone's making

310
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: bookoo bucks. And now he's ruined his image, which he

311
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: literally spent decades building up as Phil Mickelson, that was

312
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: his image. You just said, Phil Michaelson, and he resonated

313
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: with everybody. There's a reason these corporations put their brands

314
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: and their names behind the guy, and now they're all

315
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: pulled out. He is, like he can say, he's not

316
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: showing up to the masters. I'm gonna make an educated guess.

317
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: I think he's pseudos suspended right now. And I think Augusta,

318
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: which has as much juice as like the US government,

319
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the just google the members there a lot of power

320
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: didn't like that bullshit. They don't want to media circus

321
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: of Phil Mickelson. Not in their week, that's their week

322
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: of golf, and Phil Mickelson, my guests would be was

323
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: told you're not coming, which is pretty crazy when you

324
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: think about it. I don't know, because he's Phil Mickelson,

325
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: three time Master's champion. Like, it's a pretty crazy story,

326
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: and now like it and it shows you sometimes and

327
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: like back to me, I talked for a living. I

328
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: have to tell myself shut up, just shut your mouth.

329
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: And I think Phil got over a skis on this one.

330
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: And it's cost him. It's cost him a lot of money.

331
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: It's cost him just a lot of I I don't know,

332
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: popularity is probably the wrong word, but just it cost

333
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: him the ability to go to the Masters. He's not

334
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: even welcomed at the Master's where he's won three times.

335
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: He's not a one time random champion. He's one the

336
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: thing three times. He built his logo off him jumping

337
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: up when he first won the tournament. And now I

338
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: think the question is does he go to the p

339
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: G A Championship where you know he's the defending champion.

340
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: Wild man. It's just uh crazy part. It's the crazy

341
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: and great part about sports is it is truly reality

342
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: television show. You cannot make this stuff up. In two

343
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: thousand twenty one, Phil wins a major. He's an assistant

344
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: captain on the Ryder Cup team. He's partying with the boys.

345
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: By March two thousand twenty two, he's not welcome at

346
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: the Masters. He's disappeared, no one's seen him, and he's

347
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: not welcome everywhere. And besides, like his country clubs and

348
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: all his sponsors have yanked their logos off, which is

349
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: again I say, overall, I love Phil Nicholson, and it's

350
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: just sad, all right, you know, he's just he's been

351
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: a fantastic ambassador for the sport because of his passion

352
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: and love for the game, and now it feels like

353
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: he's screwed himself and now he's being shunned and he's

354
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: not welcome. He's not welcome right now, which is pretty nuts.

355

Speaker 1: And last, but not least, the power of you know,

382
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: well before I was born, like the fifties and sixties,

383
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: the power of audio is huge, right. Radio's peak was

384
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: like sixties, seventies, eighties, every single human out of radio

385
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: and the audio and it's still audio is still very

386
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: very powerful, but it competes now with video, and video

387
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: is even more powerful than audio. And what Netflix has

388
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: done one just has a company. It completely changed the game.

389
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Linear TV, you know, cable TV now is hanging on

390
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: by a thread, and it's like podcasts, like it is

391
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: the local radio where I live in the Bay. Are

392
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: yet someone I got a text yesterday from someone on

393
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: the inside. It's like we are getting destroyed. No one's listening.

394
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: The business model, it's might go under because things change.

395
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: And luckily with television, these networks still have PGA tour golf, NBA,

396
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: NFL baseball. You still have enough content that enough people

397
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: still watch. It's not going anywhere. But Netflix Hulu. You

398
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: know all these stream Apple Apple Plus? Is that it Disney?

399
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Maybe is Disney plus Apple TV. They're powerful and they're

400
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: they're taking all my money. And I don't even watch

401
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: half of them. But I can speak to the Netflix

402
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: documentary on the F one Drive to Survive. I don't.

403
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: It hasn't drove me to wake up early and watch

404
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: these Formula one races, but like, I know what's going on,

405
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: and I pay attention, and I think the Drive to

406
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Survives series is elite, Like the content is fantastic. And

407
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: there was this tweet thread today from this guy. I

408
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: think he covers F one and the power that the

409
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: Netflix documentary in series. I guess it's not a documentary,

410
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: just a series. Maybe the documentary, I don't know really

411
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: what category you put it in. Has had domestically in

412
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: America because forever they thrived internationally, but no one cared here,

413
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: so they couldn't get any of our big corporations to

414
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: sign on. Well, now the television ratings in America have

415
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: skyrocket now partly because the bar was low, but now

416
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people watch these races over the weekend.

417
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: So now American companies just gravitate where people are you

418
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: want to advertise where the consumer is right. The reason

419
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: the NFL makes so much money because they have so

420
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: many people watching. This isn't a complicated strategy. The more

421
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: people we have watching, the higher your media rights go.

422
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: The higher those networks then can charge advertising and everyone

423
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: can make money. That that is the business model. So

424
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: the more people that gain interest in Formula one because

425
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: of Netflix, the businesses boomed, and golf is starting way

426
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: ahead of Formula one. You know in America obviously, I

427
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: mean they had on a good non major gets three

428
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: three and a half four million people to watch. But

429
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: what is on the line with this show? And I

430
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to parallel drive to survive,

431
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: but to have some legit storylines, have some behind the ropes.

432
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean that thing a couple was it last week

433
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago when Victor Hovelin and Daniel Berger,

434
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these are two of the best players in

435
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: the world arguing over the line of site and and

436
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: and Victor Hoblin is like, yeah, I don't I don't

437
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: agree with that. And if you can get that, but

438
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: to me, it's we all saw that. What about after

439
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: can you get Daniel Burger on camera and on the

440
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: mic and go that's bullshit and start talking some ship

441
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: because that is what drives to survive. Has two guys

442
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: talking shit about each other to can you get some

443
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: agents on talking shit about each other? Can you get

444
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: some coaches on talking shit about each other? Because to me,

445
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: that is the differentiating factor and if you can create

446
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: some just I edginess is probably the wrong word, but

447
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: just what's really they're animosity. These people are We're all humans.

448
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: We don't like other people, and we like certain people.

449
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna be people on tour that don't like other people.

450
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: It's a little different in the Formula one because there's

451
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: only twenty drivers and there are only whatever ten teams.

452
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: They're way more guys. But you should be able to

453
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: find some pretty unique content that really works and draws

454
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: people that you know are kind of interest died that

455
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: play golf every once in a while, like I want

456
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: to watch this. I don't think it's inconceivable if this

457
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: thing is done right now. It might not just be

458
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: the first season, might take a couple of seasons, but

459
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: to you know, increase television ratings by get a lot

460
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: of new people that there is a lot of competition.

461
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Right now, no one just goes I'm gonna watch every

462
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: baseball game anymore. Those days are dead. We see the

463
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: NBA ratings. There's only one sport that truly gets us

464
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: all because we really have to watch it one day

465
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: a week. It's easy to consume golf. You've gotta come

466
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: in and out. But it's all so just basically when

467
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: you meet when the networks need to watch Saturday Sunday,

468
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: they don't really care about Golf Channel on Thursday Friday.

469
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: That's add On or me watching at my desk on ESPN. Plus,

470
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: they want you watching Saturday Sunday. Well, here's what I know.

471
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: People can see sports on Saturday and Sunday. It's called

472
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: college football in the NFL, number one and two sports

473
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: in America. So I think there's a lot of pressure

474
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: on Netflix to just get this right, and luckily they've

475
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of success doing shows like this. It's

476
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: not even just Netflix, it's on the people doing it.

477
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: It's also on the players kind of letting their guard down.

478
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: And it might take a you know, a year like

479
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: this series. This first one might just be okay, and

480
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: it might be the next one that catapults it. But

481
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: I do think there's a chance that this can be

482
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: like a springboard to a huge growth in the interest

483
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: in the sport domestically, at least I'm hoping as someone

484
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: that loves golf, has a huge passion for golf and

485
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: now making money talking about it. So I I hope

486
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: that this Netflix thing is a huge, huge success for

487
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. Okay, I'm here with Mr Golf. Jason Selbel,

488
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: host of Links and Locks podcast. Action Network puts out

489
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: an incredible article at the beginning, a little primer at

490
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week, which we will dive into. Also,

491
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: you can hear him on Sirius XM everyday Monday through

492
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday before the tournament start. I would imagine this week

493
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: Monday through Tuesday, Uh, Sirius XM because of the little

494
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: early starts throwing us off. But you know, March Madness

495
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: were already kind of in the groove. So well, let's

496
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: let's dive right in to this. By the time you're

497
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: listening to this, it's probably already going on your television

498
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: or ESPN Plus. But we're just gonna pick some winners,

499
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: factoring in a little bracket style too. I think big

500
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: picture a guy we've both kind of been hot on

501
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Masters is right around the corner. He's playing good golf,

502
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: he's he was right there last week again, Um, you

503
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: know when you kind of got a factor in the brackets.

504
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: But looking at Justin Thomas fourteen to one, Um, what

505
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: do you think I love how John You're setting me

506
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: up for this and that you and I are gonna

507
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: sit here on Tuesday while we're recording talk all about

508
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: how we love Justin Thomas and by the time this

509
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: goes live, he's gonna be four down through five and

510
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna look like idiots talking all about how much

511
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: we like JT. But yeah, I mean, I will be

512
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 1: very honest. The way I went through the bracket was

513
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: no preconceived notions. I didn't come into it with, hey,

514
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the guy that I picked as

515
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: my winner. I literally went through every single match, worked

516
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: my way down, got into the sweet sixteen, the quarters,

517
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: the semis, got to the final, and picked my player

518
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: and it just happened to be Justin Thomas. Trust me,

519
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't love it for the fact that we've seen

520
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: a thirty two seed Billy Horshell win last year. Two

521
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: years before that, was a forty eight seed Kevin Kisner.

522
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: So this really is a tournament where you shouldn't take

523
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: the chalk, and that I took almost the chalky. This

524
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: guy out there and Justin Thomas, but he's playing so well,

525
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: he preached after another title contention at the Valves Park

526
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Championship this past weekend. Just have patience. It's coming. I

527
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: know it's coming. Seven finishes of eighth or better in

528
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: his last ten starts. Big things are coming. Trust me.

529
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: J T would rather they come in two weeks than

530
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: this week. But I don't think he's gonna give up

531
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: this week in in instead of having it in two weeks.

532
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: I think he feels like you can go out and

533
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: get both of them. So um, I love JT this week.

534
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it's a tough group for him

535
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: to get out of. But if indeed he gets out

536
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: of that group, he might just start rolling through the weekend.

537
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: Agree because his bracket, to me, if we look at

538
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: a little March madness style, you know it's it's lined

539
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: up for him to get to the final four. And

540
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: if we go above another favorite I like, and again

541
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: this is factoring in the bracket, would be Zander uh,

542
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: you know Penal has been terrible. It's in his group, Herbert.

543
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: You know this there guy I saw you kind of

544
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: liked from Japan. Yeah, it's Kumi Kanaya. I made that

545
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: pick before the odds. Actually, I thought he was gonna

546
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: have much bigger odds, so, you know, I thought we're

547
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: looking at like a plus five hundred to get out

548
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: of the group. He was plus three hundred. There's not

549
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: quite as much value as I thought there would be.

550
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: I was just going after the Hey, I don't really

551
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: like anybody in that group, so I'm gonna go for

552
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: some value. But yeah, it's probably Zander. I'd watch out

553
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: for Lucas Herbert played really well final round of a

554
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: p I a few weeks ago too. You know, to me,

555
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: of Xander on the on the top right bracket doesn't

556
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: come out, there are two guys that kind of jump

557
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: out to me. Alex Norn, who we talked about before

558
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: we started recording. He has a lot on the line

559
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: this week. He's fifty six and the top fifty getting

560
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: too the Master. So if he gets into sweet sixteen

561
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: and makes a run where he's actually been looking at

562
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: his record and match play really good and obviously he's

563
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: playing really well. His problem is his brackets prettyloaded. I mean,

564
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: Louis Casey, Connors, that's that's a pretty deep bracket, and

565
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: then above him that's a ball striker's bracket right there.

566
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is is you know? I'm I'd consider

567
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: this guy a little bit of a sleeper. At one

568
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: is Brian Harman, who's playing pretty good golf and feels,

569
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, bulldog I mean literally and figuratively. But you know,

570
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: a match play guy. What what do you think about

571
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: Norin and Harmon kind of in that range of guys,

572
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, fifty two one. I feel like they're good plays.

573
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: They just got stuck in really tough groups. I mean

574
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: we mentioned that being a ball strikers group. Between Ustaisen, Casey, Connors,

575
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: and Norin, you've got four guys that absolutely just flush it.

576
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to watch those guys hit iron shots

577
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: into these greens. Should be a lot of great shots

578
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: in that one. I like Paul Casey, I feel like

579
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: the golf gods. Oh, Paul Casey, want to remember the

580
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: seventy hole of the Players Championship on that Monday afternoon.

581
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: He h's a great drive right down the middle. On

582
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: sixteen ball gets stuck in another ball's pitch mark and

583
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: you can only make par from there. You know what,

584
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes karma pays you back in weird ways. And Paulk's

585
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: played well in this in the past. I can see

586
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 1: him doing well. Then. Brian Harmon is in not just

587
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: what I think is the most well rounded group there,

588
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: but what the odds makers think is the most well

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: rounded group. There's a smaller discrepancy between the shortest odds

590
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: to get out of that one and the longest odds

591
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: than any other. It's Abraham Answer, Web Simpson, Brian Harmon

592
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: and Bubba Watson. And again you look at and go, yeah,

593
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: I can see any of those players. I've got Abraham

594
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Answer there. I just feel like it's a good course

595
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: for him. Hasn't played his best golf at some point

596
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: starts playing better. But yeah, I do like Brian Harmon

597
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: as well. It's just he's in a really tough group.

598
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather take guys from the groups where I look

599
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: at and say, I really don't like two of those guys.

600
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: The process of elimination takes two away, and so there's

601
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: only two left, and okay, I like I like one

602
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: of those two as opposed to Yeah, I can see

603
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: all four of those guys, and essentially that's what Harmon

604
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: and Norn are both looking at really good dark horse plays,

605
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: but they're also going against three really tough matches Wednesday

606
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: through Friday. One of my favorite plays, and it's it's

607
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: all predicated on what I'm gonna feel like. It's gonna

608
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: be one match, and that's gonna be the Hatten Burger match.

609
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: But if my guy Terrell Hatton can win that match,

610
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of set up for him all of a sudden.

611
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: You're look, he's in the final four Hatton uh one

612
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: right now on FanDuel. But I know you wrote about

613
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: that matchup between him and Burger. I mean that's gonna

614
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: feel like a d Kentucky or something, right, I mean

615
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: early in the tournament. So that's I would take Hatton.

616
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: But if you, if you convince me on Burger, I

617
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: could I could hear you out on that one as well. Yeah,

618
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: this is exactly what I was talking about. One of

619
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: the groups where really I don't love the other two.

620
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: I believe it's Seewoo Kim and Christian Baz newt Uh

621
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: in that group with them, And so you know. I

622
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: look at it and I say, yeah, it's either Hatton

623
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: or Burger. I took Burger and extra holes. I was

624
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: very specific there, and I just did that, uh, to

625
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: make the case that, hey, this is really anyone's on

626
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: that Friday afternoon match between the two best players in

627
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: the group. I like Burger. I think Hatton is a

628
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: really good player, tends to play better in those Florida ends,

629
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: but he's played well the match play in the past.

630
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: I just think Burger's Burgers got this little extra drive

631
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: and not that Hatton doesn't, but Burgers got this little determination.

632
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: I will say, and I may amend this a little bit,

633
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: but I wrote that if there's gonna be a fist

634
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: fight in one of these matches, I was thinking it

635
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: might be Burger Hatton. But I'm almost gonna amend that

636
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: that might be second on my list. Now I might,

637
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I might play those odds. But Peter's Horschel is one

638
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: that I can see there being some bad blood too.

639
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: It's something that's I like it. Then we look at

640
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: the upper left. We got some big name power right,

641
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: Dustin Kepta, rom and the great return of the big

642
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: fellow Bryceon d Shambo, but a name that you had

643
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: mentioned and that I circled early is Taylor Gooch. Now

644
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I did read that he's never played in this tournament.

645
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily mean the course, but he's never been

646
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: in match play at Austin last year I picked. I

647
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: like Gooch as a sleeper. Oh he did. Yeah, he

648
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: was the last man in the field last year. Didn't

649
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: play well, but he at least got that experience. Okay, well,

650
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: then I like him even more now, Taylor Grooch little

651
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: bit of a sleeper at about forty six to one

652
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: right now on fan duel. Uh, what do you think?

653
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: I mean? Bryson doesn't make me nervous, but getting out

654
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: of there. If a Kepta, if a RAM, if a DJ,

655
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: he he would he potentially would have to go through

656
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: some heavy hitters. I like him to get through the group.

657
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: In fact, he's my favorite player to get through a

658
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: singular group. He's got Bryson as the pool A player.

659
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: Bryson we all know coming off an injury. Based on

660
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: that social media post that he put out Monday night,

661
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like I've been hitting drivers and I'm

662
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: hitting it really good. I can't wait. The post was

663
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: almost Hey, I'm starting to hit driver, and I'm getting

664
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: ready for the Masters, And that doesn't inspire a whole

665
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in Bryson this week. And so yeah, Okay,

666
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: he might be ready for Augusted a few weeks, but

667
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Bryson is ready to go out there

668
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: and win a few matches this week. I look at

669
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the group and I've got Lee Westwood,

670
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: who's played okay, not played great in this tournament in

671
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: the past. Richard Bland. It's a fun story. Everyone likes

672
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: the guy, everyone wants to hang out with the guy,

673
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played great golf at the age of

674
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: forty nine recently either. And so I've got Gucha sort

675
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: of the uh, the easy uh, the easy pick to

676
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: get out of that group, and then you take your

677
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: chances from there. He goes against maybe Dustin Johnson and

678
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Max Holma in the next round. If he gets through that,

679
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: maybe he's got John rob maybe Brooks Kepka. Yeah, there

680
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: are a lot of tough ones to get through. But look,

681
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: you're going to have to beat some guys if you

682
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: want to get to the final four, the championship match

683
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: in this thing. So at some point you're gonna have

684
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: to win against some of those guys. I will tell

685
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: you the bottom of that bracket. John Harold Varner the

686
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: third is very interesting to me. He's got that uh

687
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: that AUGUSTA national invitation already in his back pocket, so

688
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to sweat that anymore. He's a guy

689
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: that what do we always say about Harold? He's good

690
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: enough to contend on any given week, but man, he

691
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: makes that one big number. He makes the untimely double

692
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: or triple bogey on the weekend to fall all out

693
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: of contention. Well here he makes a triple somewhere. No

694
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: big deal, you're up to now, you're up one, keep

695
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: on going to the next toll. He's eleventh this season

696
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: in Pete and Birdie average on the PGA Tour. That's

697
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: the best of sort of the non superstars out there.

698
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 1: All the guys above him are guys that you would

699
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: think would be right up there. So I like Varner's

700
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: guy to go out there and make some Birdie's with

701
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: maybe a little nothing to lose attitude this week. So

702
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: if you were going super long shot, you know one

703
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: another name I wrote down was Mav McNeely. Would you

704
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: say Varner and MAV McNeeley are two names given their

705
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: draws that you kind of like. Obviously you just sold

706
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: Harold Varner, but what do you think about MAV. Yeah,

707
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: mcnely has got the same nothing to lose attitude. He

708
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: was not in this field as of Sunday night, Sam

709
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: Burns Withdrew after the win in Tampa. McNeely gets in.

710
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: He's a really good driver of the golf ball and

711
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: a really good putter, and those that combination is gonna

712
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: get you pretty far in this event. So I do

713
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: like McNeely has got something to prove he's got. He's

714
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that's got designs on being on

715
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: some Ryder Cup and President's Cup teams at some point

716
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: in the future, and whether it's this year's captain or

717
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: a captain down the road, I think he'd like to

718
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: show off a little bit and show what he can

719
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: do in match play. And the other guy I just

720
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: mentioned him tangentially earlier, but Thomas Peters going off right

721
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: around a hundreds of one as well. High risk, high reward,

722
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: high ceiling, low floor, whatever you want to say about him,

723
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: but he's a guy with a ton of offensive firepower.

724
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: It can go south in a hurry. I get that,

725
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a big hit, Thomas Peters

726
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: the guy that could just roll through a bunch of matches.

727
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: And I don't hate his group either. He's got the

728
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: defending champ, Billy Horshel, but other than that, I can

729
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: see Peters rolling through that group, making a ton of

730
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: birdie's and moving on to the weekend um where where

731
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: he's got maybe not the worst draw in that region.

732
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: Last name for you, I'm pretty sure he lives in Austin,

733
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: and he's historically a pretty good match player and a

734
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: guy that will not be scared. Sergio Garcia, you know,

735
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: if you're if he's playing good golf off if you

736
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: look up, you know, maybe alive that like Thursday Friday

737
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: as a guy that could just make a run all weekend.

738
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Is he a guy to keep you? He is his

739
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: home course. I don't think it's his home course, but

740
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: he does live in Austin. Now, for me, it's all

741
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: about motivation for Sergio. And there are weeks when Sergio

742
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: goes out there and you can kind of tell he's

743
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: going through the motions a little bit. He's been doing

744
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: this for a long time. Nothing really gets gets him

745
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: too excited anymore, but playing in front of friends and

746
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: family in his adopted hometown, Yeah, I expect Sergio to

747
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: be pretty motivated this week. He was my pick to win.

748
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: I went back and look, he was my pick to

749
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: win last year. The whole thing, got to the quarterfinals,

750
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: made it to the weekend. Um, I do like him. Again,

751
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: He's not playing bad golf right now whatsoever. It's just

752
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: been sort of pretty good. Not really title contentions, but

753
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm missing cuts either, So yeah, I do like Sergio.

754
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: I think that this format suits him well. And like

755
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: I said, that motivation, playing in front of friends and

756
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 1: family this week, I think that should serve him really well. Okay,

757
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you out of here in two questions. One,

758
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: just a big picture, you know, for the Americans in

759
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: terms of the President's Cup and the Ryder Cup. It's

760
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear the swings on a year to year

761
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: basis with some of these young guys, like the way

762
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: Sam Burns is playing. I know Scottie Scheffler was on

763
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: the team last year, but he's he's compulsive to be

764
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: a you know, not a captain's pick, right, a lock

765
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: like he's gonna qualify how hard is it gonna be

766
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: for some of these You know, Tony Female is now

767
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: having a bad year, He's starting to get bumped out

768
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: just the competition. In all your years of being around

769
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: the game, have you ever seen a as deep of

770
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: an American roster as we have right now? Now, this

771
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: is a really, really deep roster. We knew Sam Burns

772
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: would start doing big things. I look at Burns and Scheffler,

773
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: and I think there's a great comparison to be made

774
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: between the two of them, both twenty five years old.

775
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: They're both scared of absolutely nothing. They're both stepping on

776
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: the gas pedal when they start playing well. So I

777
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: can see each of those guys having just monster years.

778
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: They've already started to. And so yeah, those guys are

779
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: locks to make the team right now. Quite honestly, John,

780
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: I think you see now it's harder for either the

781
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to call him a journeyman, but the

782
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: the very good players, not the great players, but the

783
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: very good players. I'm looking down my sheet right here,

784
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: I see a name like Kegan Bradley. Keean Bradley has

785
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: been really good this year. He's having a really nice year.

786
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: Kegan Bradley probably isn't even on the radar screen for

787
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: the President's Cup. Now, can he get there? Absolutely? You

788
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: gon win in two weeks and and get himself very

789
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: much on the radar screen, as can a lot of

790
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: other players. But for a guy like that who's been

791
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: around for a while is trying to make it back,

792
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: or for a guy like I mentioned Matt McNeely earlier,

793
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: just a young player who's got a tremendous amount of

794
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: talent wants to play on these teams, it's gonna be

795
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: really hard to sort of break into that inner circle.

796
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: And so I think we've seen Sam Burns do it.

797
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see Wills Alators do it. I'd

798
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: be very surprised if he doesn't make the President's Cup

799
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: team this year. But after that, you look at the

800
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: team that wanted Whistling Straits in the Ryder Cup last

801
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: year and said, okay, well, maybe we can take away

802
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: Harris English and put on Burns and take away I

803
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: don't even know who else, p Now or Burger or something.

804
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: Burger is really good, and put Salatorus on the team.

805
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: Other than that, I don't know where these changes are

806
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: coming from. You just don't have enough spots for everybody

807
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: and last, but not least. I mean the news came

808
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,479
Speaker 1: out Monday. Uh what what was your reaction to fill

809
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: a no go with the Masters not even showing up,

810
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: not around? Yeah, yeah, a little surprising. H It's sad,

811
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean really, that's the word for it, because look,

812
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: Phil has done so much for the game over the

813
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: last quarter century. Uh, you know, he's one, He's won

814
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: three Masters titles, he's you know, he's he's been a

815
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: a public figure with a tremendous amount of fans in

816
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: the game. So it's sad. I again, I I have

817
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: no idea. I love that if there was some transparency

818
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: from the PGA tour, maybe this is augusta national um,

819
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 1: you know, adhering to some sort of suspension from the tour.

820
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: Although I tend to believe that doesn't want to face

821
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: the media firing squad. He's not suspended right now. Why

822
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: is he not playing? Maybe that maybe he doesn't want

823
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: to turn the Masters into his own personal circus. Maybe

824
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,959
Speaker 1: he's just dealing with some other issues and just doesn't

825
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: want to go out there. I don't know exactly what

826
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: the case is right now. I'd love to see Phil

827
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: back out there. At some point he's going to have

828
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: to do the contrition act in front of the cameras,

829
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: in front of the microphones. He'll have to apologize, He'll

830
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: have to fall on his sword. But hopefully that comes

831
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. He's gonna be ostensibly defending a

832
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: major championship title, the oldest player ever to win a

833
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: major championship in May, for the PGA Championship in It

834
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: would be nice if he could show up, but yes,

835
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to do a few things before then,

836
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: at least for himself, not for everybody else. Okay, one more,

837
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: I know they have that list of the former champions,

838
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: the guys that ballot out and feel entered that the

839
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: guy that's still the guy that's still on the list.

840
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: But you know, it might just be go up to

841
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: the last second. You don't want to close any doors.

842
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: You don't expect Tiger Woods to play at the Masters,

843
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: do you? I don't think so. Uh. Look, Tiger's walk

844
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: around with I'm walking into the World Golf Hall of

845
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: Fame a couple of weeks ago without the sleeve on

846
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: his leg. Who knows, you know, if there's ever gonna

847
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: be a player who can come back from something like

848
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: that and just say, hey, you know what, I'll make

849
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: my first start at Augusta National. It would be Tiger Woods.

850
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna hear any whispers out a camp

851
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Tiger because they're just not gonna tell you anything. So

852
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: it's certainly, at least until his name is on that

853
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: list of past champions not competing, that at least there's

854
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: a chance. But no, I don't think we're gonna see

855
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: him in a couple of weeks. Keep crossing your fingers.

856
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: That would be uh, I'd say. I'd say, if breaking

857
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: news happens that he's in, that'd be one of the

858
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: bigger stories of the year. So we can only pray.

859
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: But at least, like you said, he's walking around no

860
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: sleeve at riv he's walking up those stairs and it's

861
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: going a lot better than I would say any human

862
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: alive that's a Tiger fan could have dreamed it to

863
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: go right, given what he went through three months ago.

864
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: We watched him play the p n C I guess

865
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: the Parent Child event now and look pretty good. I mean, yeah, okay,

866
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: he was in a car. It was two days. He's

867
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: letting Charlie hit most of the drives. I get it,

868
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: but he still went out there, he played golf. He

869
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. And so my take on it has

870
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: been over the last three months, he's not gonna get

871
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: any worse. He's not going to hurt himself more than

872
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: he was. His swing is gonna be worse than it

873
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: was back then, and so he's going to keep progressing,

874
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: going to keep improving. As long as he wants to

875
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: give this a chance, which he said that he does,

876
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: he wants to come back. I certainly won't write him off,

877
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: at least for playing, if not for competing and contending.

878
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Once again, who knows. Agreed? Thanks Jason um enjoy the golf,

879
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: enjoyed the March madness and basketball, and have a great weekend.

880
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: Thanks John, appreciate. Okay, let's go go Low pod mail

881
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: bag at go Lo pot is the Instagram d MS

882
00:44:53,640 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: wide Open, Wide Open, think Davante Adams. Okay, start with

883
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: Jason Golo pod Instagram. I just want to say, enjoy

884
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: your knowledge. You and Colin do a great job relating

885
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: to the listener by applying sports situations to real life

886
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: scenarios we all face on our job and our personal life.

887
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: I love the golf, gambling segment with Sobel every week.

888
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to return the favor. Check out Righteous Gemstones

889
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: on HBO Max if you are still looking for shows

890
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: to binge watch. If you enjoyed East Bounding Down Humor

891
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: with Danny McBride, you'll love it. I need to check

892
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: it out. I watched the first season, but I need

893
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: to check out the second season for sure. Question for

894
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: the pot. I'm a fan of the major team sports

895
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: and find them easy to follow, but I know little

896
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: to nothing about pro golf. How do you recommend someone

897
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: with no knowledge gets into watching and following the sport.

898
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: It feels like it has a higher barrier for entry

899
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: for the casual fan. I would tend to agree. Uh again,

900
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I'm biased about this sport.

901
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, most people follow football or basketball or baseball

902
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: because at one point in time in your life you

903
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: played right little league, eighth grade basketball, high school football, golf.

904
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: If you don't play it probably would be a little

905
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: bit harder to get into. My advice, if you're looking

906
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: for a hobby pick up golf, just start messing around,

907
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: Go to local club, go to a top golf. Once

908
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: you start playing it a little bit. You don't need

909
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: to play it. You know the Olympic Club or you

910
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: know Augusta or Bethpage Black. You could just play at

911
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: the shittiest course where you live. Just go out with

912
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: a buddy, grab a six pack, and just have a

913
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: good time. And if you hit a couple of good shots,

914
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, if you like competing, I'll promise you might

915
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: get hooked. And then the faster you start liking to play,

916
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: the more likely you just follow golf, right, I mean,

917
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: I started following football when I started playing football as

918
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: a young kid. The reason I loved kriv Jr. And

919
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: Cal Ripken because when I was playing literal League I

920
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: tried to bat like them. We all tried to hit

921
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: fadeaway shots like Michael Jordan's. You just do what you

922
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: usually play. So, yeah, I'm with you, it'd be hard

923
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: if you don't play. Most people I know that follow

924
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour play golf, not consider you don't have

925
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: to be like a two handicap, but you know, it's

926
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: just easier to follow when you can understand what they're doing.

927
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: And it's the unique part about golf. Right at thirty

928
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: seven years old, I can go play golf just like

929
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: the guy on the PGA Tour at thirty seven years old.

930
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: I can't go play football like that. That's over. And

931
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: I guess I could play pickup hooops. But I I

932
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: you could, actually, I can't play hard pitch baseball. I

933
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: guess I could play like Beer League softball. I could

934
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: play pickup hooops. I retired like five or six years ago.

935
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: I just I can't afford to Taryn Achilles just started

936
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: really paying attention to golf recently, and I'm wondering what

937
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Matt woolf Our. Can he be consistent

938
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 1: enough to really compete? Well, he's an interesting case study

939
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: because when he came on the scene, it was him,

940
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: Hovelin and Morikawa and he immediately the major morical at

941
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: Harding Park, Matt Wolf was right in the mix. Well

942
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: actually he kind of came back on Sunday, but he

943
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: was like top fives and top tens in the Major.

944
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: In other big tournaments, he finished second to Bryson at

945
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: Winged Foot. He almost beat Bryson a couple of weeks previously,

946
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, like Matt Wolf's tie in talent

947
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: was elite, and then you know, I don't know the guy,

948
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: but you know, falling the sport, it's pretty clear the

949
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: loneliness of the tour kind of got to him and

950
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: rattled him, and it threw his game off and he

951
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: just kind of fell fell apart. He's not the same

952
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: guy right now. You know, he didn't handle the transition

953
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: to being a pro over time for whatever reason. You know,

954
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: I hovland single, guy goes back to Oklahoma State more

955
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: cow was engaged now, but you know it's I follow

956
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: Wolf on social media. It's got a girlfriend. But it's

957
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: just I just think it's a different lifestyle. You know,

958
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: in college golf, you have a teammate, you have teammates,

959
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: you have the campus. In pro golf, it's really just

960
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: black and white, all about the money and all about

961
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: the grind. And for a guy that twenty three, if

962
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: you're not mentally ready for it could really throw you off.

963
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's really thrown him off. If he

964
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: could just figure that part out of it his game.

965
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be a Ryder Cup guy one day,

966
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: Like he's that good, Like he could win seven eight

967
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: PGA Tour events, but he is. He's terrible right now.

968
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: And I you know, I don't know exactly he talked

969
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: about it, and I exactly the way I just described it.

970
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: I think the tour life, not this good stuff that

971
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: comes with the money, the fame, but just the loneliness

972
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: and the travel. Can you imagine you out if you're

973
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old guy NFL Draft second round,

974
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: you go to a team basketball, you go to a

975
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: team in golf. It's like, I'm a phenomen I go pro.

976
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 1: It's just me my caddy and I got all this money,

977
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: and then I have a bunch of shitty golf. What

978
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: if you start playing bad? You know, It's just it's

979
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: a different life than the other pro sports. From seth

980
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: big fan of the pot, golf seems to be growing

981
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: and emerging as an ever popular sport, I hope. So

982
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: why don't mainstream commentators like Colins Skip stephen A ever

983
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: talk about it? Do you think you could get to

984
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: the point where they will, Well, I think it's pretty simple.

985
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: They don't have to. You know that there's a reason

986
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't talk about hockey, they don't talk about baseball anymore.

987
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: Football is what everyone wants to talk about now, Golf

988
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: is niche Now three four million people watch these golf

989
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: tournaments and the majors. When Tiger played, they those guys

990
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: talked about it. But the reason I'm doing this podcast

991
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: on golf is not because someone told me like golf's emerging.

992
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 1: Because I'm passionate about it. I love the game of golf,

993
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: and it was my idea. I was like, I'll just

994
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: do a golf podcast. You know, I'm watching it. I

995
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: might as well monetize it. It wasn't because, like you know,

996
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: there's this big itch from the people that run sports

997
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: companies right to do it. Now. I believe it's got

998
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 1: a huge ceiling and this is a big picture play

999
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: for me. But if I didn't do this, no one

1000
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: would notice, right. I Mean there are a couple of

1001
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: golf podcasts and stuff that kill it. But most of

1002
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: the golf content on YouTube, if you notice, it's actually

1003
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: kind of uh funny. I mean it's it's it's revolved

1004
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: around humor for the most part. I just think it's. Yeah,

1005
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: you just there's not as many I mean, ten million

1006
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: people watch an NBA playoff game, twenty million people watching

1007
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: NFL Big game, right, so it's just to three million

1008
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: people watch a golf tournament, you know, and only so

1009
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, so many big golf tournaments, like these random

1010
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: golf tournaments, way less people watch, so it's it's it's niche. Uh,

1011
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: Tiger broke through that noise, you know, Phil, I would say, Phil,

1012
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: the Saddi thing broke through that noise. I was listening

1013
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: to Collins pod probably a month or two ago. He

1014
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: talked about it that. I mean, Bryson broke through the noise.

1015
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: But like Victor Hovland, winning a tournament ain't breaking through

1016
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: the noise. You know, Sam Burns winning a tournament isn't

1017
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: breaking through the noise in universal sports guys. So you know,

1018
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: guys like me have to try to help bring it

1019
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: up because it's fucking awesome. I love watching elite guys

1020
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: play for money. I like personally playing golf. I think

1021
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: about golf. I like watching golf, just like I love

1022
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: talking football. You know, I ran into the guy that

1023
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: runs my gym today. His excitement level Joey as a

1024
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: Raider fan, you know, having Davante on his team beams

1025
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: ear to ear no different than when I meet someone

1026
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: that says, hey, man, I just got to play pebble beach.

1027
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: How excited they are? So I get excited from football

1028
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: and golf, and I don't like talking about it. And

1029
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: obviously football is the biggest thing going in America athletically

1030
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: golf is not. But to me, it's right there. I mean,

1031
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: that's why I'm doing this, because I love the sports.

1032
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: So we just gotta Netflix needs you to make it,

1033
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: make it happen. We'll just keep on swinging and wouldn't

1034
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: mind a Tiger come back. Audios, have a good week. Peace.

1035
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: The volume
