1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? John Mittle Coop 2 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: Go Low podcast, Baby, Uh sign for a little golf talk, 3 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: a little PGA Tour talk. Three plus million people watched 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Pebble Beach. Um. It was on obviously at the same 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: time as the Pro Bowl, and I think we all 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: can agree it was much better than the Pro Bowl. 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: It's hard to be Pebble. Been at that tournament several times. 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: It's um, it's awesome. NPCC Sweet spy Glasses, sweet Irony is. 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: I've played two of the three, but I haven't played 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: Pebble if I've played spy Glass during COVID. Actually, me, 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: my brother and some buddy's got on there. I think 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: it cost us like a hundred bucks. It was really 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: really cheap. NPCC families member out there, not my immediate family, 14 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: but some cousins place. I played there years ago when 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: I a g A at Fresno State. Uh, don't really 16 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: remember playing it, but it was really cool. It's cool 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: to watch on television. Hard, hard tournament to beat on 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: on TV, especially when the sunshine and the Pacific Ocean views. 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: There's a reason John Madden, Jim Nance, you know, Clint Eastwood, 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: they lived there. Uh, John Manton did obviously r I 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: P but places sweet it's it's an incredible spot and 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about what we witnessed their 23 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Obviously some comments by Phil Mickelson about Saudi. I I 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: gotta take on this whole Saudi situation that I know 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: the media is kind of up in arms about, um, 26 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: a little gambling, waste management. I also played their last 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: waste Memorial Day last year. I went to Scottsdale with 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: a couple of buddies for the weekend and one of 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: the places we played was TPC Scottsdale, and uh, you know, 30 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot different when the tournament is not 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: there and the grandsons aren't there kind of throws you off. 32 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: You know. You get to the Part three and it's, 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, one of the biggest parties in all of golf, right, 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: fifty sixty people there and there are no there's no stadium. 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: It's just empty and you're like, wait, I just hit 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: an eight iron. It's a hundred sixty yards and there's 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: no one watching me. It doesn't look like it does 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: on TV. Though. The Part five, whole fifteen and the 39 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: Part four that's drivable, whole seventeen are badass. Whole seventeen sweet. 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: I pumped into the water, but that was the whole 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: last year that kept Go chipped it in to basically 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: win the tournament. We also we got some we got 43 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: some graphics for golow. I think it's pretty sweet. I 44 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: think it's it looks pretty good the volume the team 45 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: worked on it, so I'm proud of it, excited about it, 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: and we'll hopefully share that in the next week or two. 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: You can for the mail bag go to go low 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: Pod so Instagram at go low pod is the Instagram 49 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: if you got a question about golf, go there. I 50 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: created its own Instagram account, Go lo Pod Instagram. Easiest 51 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: thing to do. Just fired there, okay, really quick. On 52 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the Phil story that obviously blew up last week when 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: he made some comments he was over there and Saudi 54 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: they all get paid millions of dollars to go over 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: there and play golf. Here's my overall take. I don't 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: judge a man on two things, who they're sleeping with 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: and who they do business with, as long as they're 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: doing it legally. If you're committing white collar crime, if 59 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: you're sleeping with underage women, then yeah, I'm gonna judge you, 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna avoid you. But but for the most part, 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: I got friends who they're dating, who they're married to, 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: whether I like or not, Like, that's ultimately on the 63 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: person who. You know, you may hate a job and 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: may complain to me about your job, like, that's your problem. 65 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: You gotta do what you gotta do for money, and 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: you gotta do like only you truly know if you're 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: the one sleeping with someone every night or the mother 68 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: your children, like, that's your problem, that's your relationship. You 69 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: know better than literally everyone, same same thing with professionally, 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: and these guys like I can never judge anyone for 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: take a lot of money, right, It's just that's just 72 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: the history of time. People have sold out. And you know, 73 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: the NBA and their players took a lot of ship 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: for the China stuff, right, China, like sadis a lot 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: of atrocities on both their watches. That's not really arguable. 76 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: But I think the reason the NBA players in the 77 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: league took so much pushback was how outspoken they are politically. 78 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: They got on their moral high horse for years about politics, 79 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: where I would say, for the most part, I mean 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: I'd say, really all of them. The golfers don't talk 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: about politics at all. So when you talk about politics 82 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: a lot and then you get in bed with shady people, 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: your viewed as a hypocrite. So if these players, whoever 84 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: they are, not even just Phil but just people follow 85 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: and go over there for a lot of money, you know, 86 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that's ultimately like they won't be the first and they 87 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: won't be the last to take quote unquote dirty money 88 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: in any industry. Right, That's that's technically legal. But if 89 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: you keep your mouth shut and you're not getting up 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: there pounding your chest about one thing or the other politically, 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: like I do think, you avoid some criticism. Now, the 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: media is gonna be relentless with this stuff when it 93 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: comes to the golfers in the Saudis. I just know 94 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: for me, like that's on these guys to make their 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: own independent decisions. Now, if I was a top ten 96 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: player and I was making like, I get why Phil 97 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: would go over there. He's fifty one years old. He 98 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: probably what's crazy about winning at Kiwa. We thought he'd 99 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: never sniff another win again in his life. Lee Westwood 100 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: is forty eight. Poulter, these guys are old like he's 101 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: justin Thomas gonna go over there, Kea Rory. I know 102 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: all these guys have made independent comments about the situation, 103 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: but like, if if none of them go, like, there's 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: no league. The only way for this league to be 105 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: a big deal is they have to steal star young players. 106 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: And guess what. All the star young players here do 107 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: make a boatload of money, and most of them all 108 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: live in the States, Florida, Scottsdale, Texas, And so it's like, 109 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: do they want to risk it? Now? It's right, you're 110 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: making million dollars a year if I could four x that, 111 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, I understand these people thinking about it. Now, 112 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: we'll see if it actually goes down. But like, I 113 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: can't get on some moral high horse and call the 114 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: guy a scumbag for entertaining an offer that's gonna guarantee 115 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you a hundred million dollars for three years, just a 116 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: salary and then all the money you can win from 117 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: playing golf. Like, I think it's so easy for the 118 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: media to throw stones when it's like, have you ever 119 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: been offered a lot of money? I'm talking generational money 120 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: that is shady, and that's things that you don't necessarily 121 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: align with personally morally, but it makes you think we're 122 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: all human beings, and it's it's on like if it's 123 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: easy for me to like, it would be easy for 124 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: me to say, like, only fucking scumbags would take the 125 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Saadi's money. They're the bad guys. It's like, John, Hey, 126 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: they just offered you a hundred million dollars for two 127 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: years to be the commissioner of the league. Well what 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: do you think I would say? So, uh, you know, 129 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: we'll see how this thing is gonna play out, and 130 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: you know this is gonna be something that the that 131 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: the big jay's in golf are gonna crush these guys. 132 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: And I think probably most people listening if I told 133 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: you the amount of money, especially like, well do I 134 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: gotta play inside of your But no, Actually, the majority 135 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: of their tournaments are gonna be like in Europe in 136 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: the States, like are you serious? Yeah, they'll just wipe 137 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: out the PGA tour. Yad probably do that too. Most 138 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: of us would money talks, ship walks. It's it's easy 139 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: to play the moral game, but that's not the way 140 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: life works. Part of what makes Phil such an awesome 141 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: golfer to watch throughout his career and he's way more 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: talented than Jordan's. Speed was that Phil would do crazy 143 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: ass things. He would push a drive fifty yards left 144 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: into who knows where. Then he was like most of 145 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: us do. We can hit a shot on any given 146 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: golf shot, especially off the tea anyway, and then scrambling, 147 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: like if you're a decent player, you get used to 148 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: kind of hitting crazy shots. So when you get to 149 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: see Phil, who historically has made some of his best 150 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: shots are these second shots over a tree, flop shots 151 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: cutting under a tree, because you can relate and go, 152 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: I could be there now. Phil, you know, is one 153 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: of the most talented golfers to ever play the sport. 154 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: You know, he's probably just a top five pure talent, 155 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: right and if he hadn't run into Tiger Woods in 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: his prime, might have ten majors. But Phil relative to Jordan's, like, 157 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: Phil's natural talent is much greater than Jordan's. I had 158 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: someone tell me years back who spent some time with 159 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Butch Harmon, and Butch told him and this was after Jordan. 160 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: One I think is third major. I mean maybe it 161 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: already had three majors and was clearly one of the 162 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: best players in the World might have been number one 163 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: at the time. And Butch told this person that when 164 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: Jordan's Putter no longer is superhuman, he's gonna come back 165 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: to Earth because he doesn't hit it like the reason 166 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: the DJs and these guys, And it's true Jordans came 167 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: back to Earth. But the difference and the thing you 168 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: can never discount, and this works for any sport, is 169 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: how much a guy truly gives a ship, how much 170 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: being good at his craft means to that human. Because 171 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: once Jordan's won those majors and kind of peaked in 172 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: whatever fifteen sixteen, he had more money than he would 173 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: ever need. He was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 174 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: He could have just mailed it in and sailed off 175 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: in the sunset with his resume of you know, eight nine, 176 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: ten wins multiple majors and just hung around on the 177 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: tour being an average guy. But he did not do that, 178 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: and he does not strike the ball like all these 179 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: type top guys do. Like if you watch Zander Shoffley, 180 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: if you watch John rom if you watch DJ, if 181 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: you watch brooks Kepco, these guys are on another level. 182 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: They hit it way farther justin Thomas. They are better 183 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: ball strike ers. I would say then Jordan's speed. But 184 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: Jordan's willingness to absolutely grind it out is something I 185 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: respect to living, you know what out of because I 186 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: was watching him earlier this year, I'm like, what's he 187 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: doing with the swing? He's constantly working on it and 188 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: he's trying like his point of difference is not going 189 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: to be hitting at three fifty yards. He has to 190 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: be pinpoint with his irons. Well. At Pebble Beach, he 191 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: put on a clinic with his iron play those two days. 192 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: He was awesome. He even said after Sunday when he 193 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: kind of I wouldn't say he lost the tournament because 194 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: even if he pars seventeen, he might not win the tournament. 195 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: HOGI would have won it. But he said, I had 196 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: the best shot of my week and it came up 197 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: a yard or two short and went in the bunker 198 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and ended up boging seventeen at Pebble Beach. But Jordan's 199 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: and I respect this about any athlete in any sport, 200 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: and I think in football has a lot of this 201 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: because in the NBA there is such a level of 202 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: athleticism you have to have to be good at baseball, 203 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: you have to have such a level of skill to 204 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: play in the big leagues. In football, you have so 205 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: many different people in shapes and sizes and toughness and 206 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: and heart and work ethic and just desire means so much. 207 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: Golf is somewhat like that, like once you have the 208 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: the mandatory level of being a PGA Tour player, like 209 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: how are you willing to work? Tiger works harder than 210 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: literally everyone else and dominated. Now he was more talented, 211 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: but his work ethic was second to none, second to none. 212 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: And when I see a guy like Jordan's speech, I go, 213 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: this guy refused to be an average player because I 214 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: thought it was trending pretty bad in like eighteen and nineteen. 215 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: Well what this guy has done the last twelve months, 216 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: talk about coming back? He is now, uh, you know, 217 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: one of the best players in the world. It looked 218 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: like for a couple of years like this guy is 219 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: never gonna be on a Ryder Cup again, which kind 220 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: of feels like that's gonna happen to Ricky. You know, 221 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: Ricky had a hell of a run, made a bunch 222 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: of money, you know, only really one four times, but 223 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: got to play on a bunch of Ryder Cups and 224 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: President's Cups, but you know, I probably don't ever expect 225 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: to see him again. Now, Jordan's was a better player 226 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: than Ricky in both their quote unquote peaks, but still, 227 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: like it's pretty we see it happened. A lot guys 228 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: fall off, now that's part of golf, but the way 229 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: Jordan was playing it looked terrible. But I also think 230 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: the cool part about watching Jordan now, like coming back 231 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: and becoming a top player again, is he still is 232 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: pretty relatable in his game, kind of like Phil. He 233 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: hits some of the shittiest shots you will see off 234 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: the tee. He'll drop his club, it'll go flare out 235 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: there two yards and you're like, I could see myself 236 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: doing that. Now, the difference is he'll get it and 237 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: like Phil, have up and downs that are out of 238 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: this world, make long putts. He is just one of 239 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: the more fun players to watch because it's just a 240 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: roller coaster, you know, Like when DJ's on, it's kind 241 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: of boring. Three thirty down the middle, ten feet, He's 242 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: gonna roll in some putts. Three down the middle, seven feet, Bertie, 243 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, he just he can kind of put it 244 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: on a clinic. You know, I think Rory has a 245 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: little just that there's just character to his game. But 246 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: to me, Jordan's unlike those guys, like he ain't hitting 247 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: at three yard forty yards. He's hitting you know. I mean, 248 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: he's probably a club better than if you're, you know, 249 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: five handicapper lower. But it's not like he's a hundred 250 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: ninety yards and hitting an eight iron like some of 251 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: these guys. And he's just an enjoyable personality. And I 252 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: think he's going to be I put a hundred dollars 253 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: on this weekend at I think he's gonna be easily 254 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: the crowd favorite this weekend. He's just an easy guy 255 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: to root for. And you know, the best part about 256 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: sports is when you can just find easy guys to 257 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: root for, because it makes sports fun. You know, It's 258 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: one thing to have villains, right. The Patriots were that 259 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: way forever. It's easy root against Belichick. It was easy 260 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: root against Barry Bonds, you know, as I don't really know, 261 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: I guess Bryson became that for a little bit on 262 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: the PGA tour. It's also fun to just have guys 263 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: you like, like I want to watch Jordan's Speith play golf. 264 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this weekend just sitting there and watching 265 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: Jordan's Speith play golf on Saturday and Sunday. I was 266 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: rooting for Jordan's Speith to win the tournament like most 267 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: people are gonna be every time Jordan's is in the mix. 268 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: And what looked very bleak, because that can happen in golf. 269 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: You can fall off a cliff. Aisinger said this a 270 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: couple of years ago on a broadcasting He was so right, 271 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: like everyone is one shot away from thinking you're the 272 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: worst golfer in the world, and years away from building 273 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: yourself back up to thinking you're the best player in 274 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: the world on the PGA Tour, Like your confidence can 275 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: go in literally one swing and to get your swag 276 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: and your confidence in your mindset back. I think this 277 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: translates to us as normal golfers. It can it. All 278 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: it takes is one bad hole, and it can take 279 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: a whole summer, a whole year to be like, I 280 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm ever going to be a decent 281 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: player again. And that's what's cool about golf. But a 282 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: lot of guys don't come back, you know, And to 283 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: watch this comeback and to have it be this guy. 284 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: I just have so much respect for him as a 285 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: guy that and I do with everyone that has a 286 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: lot of wealth and just keeps working and keeps grinding. 287 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: Because I asked myself sometimes like if if I had 288 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars in the bank, when my 289 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: w gothic change at all, and you never know until 290 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: you get to that point, and you know, I doubt 291 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: you know. I'm never gonna have a hundred million dollars 292 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: in the bank. But it's just one of those things 293 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: that I admire about the tom Brady's, the Peyton Mannings, 294 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: the Jordan's Peace. It's what I admired most about Tiger 295 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Woods because it wasn't just the wealth, it was the injuries. 296 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: It would be one thing, I mean, George's healthy. Think 297 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: about what Tiger had to come back from. If you 298 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: read that right Thompson article where he would lay there 299 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: on the floor and scream at his daughter to come 300 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: help him, You're like, what is he doing this for? 301 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what he's doing it for. That's 302 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: what gets him going, the juice of competing. He he 303 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: didn't these guys didn't get into competing. I said it 304 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: forever about football coaches, and he Reid didn't get into 305 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: coaching football for the money. He makes fifteen million dollars now, 306 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: but he's not driven by that money. It's kind of 307 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: irrelevant to him. What's relevant to him is getting his 308 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: team better, trying to win games. What's relevant to Tiger 309 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: is playing good golf up until it basically his legs shattered. 310 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: Right it was I want to try to win again. 311 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't need to win again. My resume is set, 312 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: My bank account is clearly set, same with Jordan's, like 313 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: what he had accomplished, but that's not why they're in it. 314 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: And I think whenever you have that mindset, you're ceiling 315 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: is always way higher. If you're just in it for 316 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: the money, like you know, even if you're on Wall Street, like, 317 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: if you're in it for the you like the you know, 318 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: the passion of whatever doing deals that gets you going. 319 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: And I think you got a better shot because what 320 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: Jordan is accomplishing right now. And I'll talk to Jason 321 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: Sobel here in a second about some of his bets, 322 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: but I I got I like Jordan this weekend, okay, 323 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: here with again actual networks Jason Sobel Uh. You can 324 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: hear him all week long two to four Eastern on 325 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: uh PGA Tour radio series XM. You can also find him. 326 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: I was reading his article on the Action Network. Uh, 327 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: I think we need see I. I and a couple 328 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: of picks. You know, he didn't love my pick of 329 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: Pat Perez top ten last week, but my guy Patty 330 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: came through. Jason, that was a really nice play. I 331 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: was based on this and what Pat told me. Pat 332 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: had been on a radio show a couple of weeks 333 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 1: before that, Saday. I'm just kind of easing my way 334 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: into the seas and we'll see what happens. And he 335 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: didn't sound that confident in himself. But obviously, John, you 336 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: were more confident in him than he was, so that 337 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: paid off. Yeah. I mean, you know, golf betting, you 338 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: hit one. You just on cloud nine for about two months. 339 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: But obviously last week was really cool. The field kind 340 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: of sucked. This week the field clearly much better. I 341 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: mean a ton of heavy hitters. Uh. I guess let's 342 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: start with a guy that had some magic last year 343 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: coming off you know Pebble Beach where I mean he 344 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: was in the lead. I think he's clearly going to 345 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: be the fan favorite out here. In Jordan's speak, you know, 346 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: fan Duel, I think eighteen to one, seventeen to one, 347 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: you can find him some places twenty two one. Uh, 348 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: what do you think about about Jordan this week? So, John, 349 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: I see a lot of parallels between what Jordan did 350 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: last year and what I think he's going to do 351 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: this year. Last year, remember Phoenix and Pebble were flipped. 352 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: Phoenix came first. Basically Phoenix always super Bowl week, and 353 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: since the super Bowl was one week earlier, Phoenix was 354 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: earlier last year. We all remember that sixty one mercurial 355 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: round by Jordan's speech on Saturday last year here at 356 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: TPC Scottsdale and parlay that into a fourth place finish 357 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: the next day, and then went to Pebble and was 358 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: in contention throughout the weekend, finished in third place, just 359 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: a few behind Daniel Berger at that one. So coming 360 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: off the solo second place finished this past week, I 361 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: know he's a little disappointed to not get it done 362 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: down the stretch, but I think Speech's momentum is going 363 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: to carry him to another strong play. The course isn't 364 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: really a great course fit for Jordan, but Jordan's one 365 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: of these guys that John I I look at and 366 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: I say, on any given week, he can play anywhere, really, 367 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: really well. It's more about when he's got that confidence, 368 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: when he's got that momentum, and I think he has 369 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: that right now, so I expect another good week from 370 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: him this week. Thoughts on the defending champ don't love 371 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: it um, which is a little strange because I like 372 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: everything about Brooks. I think, first of all, you've got 373 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: to be really good off the tea here. Long and 374 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: straight always works on every golf course in the world. 375 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: Long and straight works really well. It's more of an 376 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: advantage here at t v C Scottsdale. I also like 377 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: the intangible of and I'll get into this as we 378 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: start talking about some of the players I like. But 379 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: I like guys want to show off a little bit. 380 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: I like guys who walk around with some swagger. There's 381 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: gonna be thousands of screaming, drunk fans yelling at these 382 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: guys from outside the gallery ropes, and I want a 383 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: guy who isn't phazed by that. In fact, a guy 384 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: who you know, sort of embraces it and likes the atmosphere. 385 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: Brooks Kepta has shown that he's that guy, has won 386 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: this twice. That said, I'm shying away from Brooks. I'm 387 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: fading him this week for the simple fact that he 388 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: hasn't played well in his last five starts, three missed cuts. 389 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 1: His only two maid cuts were in no cut events, 390 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: limited fields where he didn't even finish in the top 391 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: half of those fields. So he really hasn't shown any 392 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: form as of late. Now does that mean anything for Brooks? 393 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: He's always a guy that kind of seemingly flip that 394 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: switch and start playing better golf. But now I'm I'm 395 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: fading Brooks this week. Okay. Uh, my philosophy on the 396 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: California Swing is to go with the California guys. What 397 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: do you think about the philosophy of the Scottsdale guys, 398 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: you know, the Homas, the Phenales, Wyndham, Clark's, the Gooch, 399 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: the guys that live in this area. You know, I 400 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: don't know. They don't necessarily spend too much time playing 401 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: this course, but they're very comfortable in the environment. Uh. 402 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: What do you think about that you like any Scottsdale 403 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: guy specifically this weekend? Yeah, I mean, I I can 404 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: see that the whole sleeping in your own bed thing 405 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: works for some players, doesn't work for other players. Other 406 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: guys like to get into a routine where it's like, Hey, 407 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm on the road, I'm away from family, I'm away 408 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: from friends. No one's bugging me for tickets, and no, 409 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: I don't think these guys are out here playing TPC 410 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: Scottsdale very much at all. Maybe some practice here a 411 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: little bit, but there's so many good private clubs in 412 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: the area that most of them are somewhere a few 413 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: miles away. That said, sure, I mean, well, John Rom's 414 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: right there at the top of the board. It's hard 415 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: not to like him at all. I I don't love 416 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: the short number on Rom. But again, we always talk 417 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: about a player's hometown event, so being their fifth major. 418 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: I guess he might say Tory Pines is kind of 419 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: Rom's fifth major because he has professed his love for 420 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: that one. But okay, maybe a sixth major, seventh major, 421 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: whatever it is. Rom's gonna put a little more into 422 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: this one, I think being a home game for him. 423 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: But I don't love him at the short number. Max 424 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Homa is a name that you mentioned that he actually 425 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: had a much longer number than I thought he would 426 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: seventy one to one in some books, and I think 427 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: that's a really good number on Max, who has shown 428 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: some win equity over the last few years. When he 429 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: gets into contention. He doesn't seem flustered by being in 430 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: the mix on Sunday and has come home with three 431 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: victories in the past handful of years. Okay, non John Rom, 432 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: give me a big dog that he like this week. 433 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: It's justin Thomas. In fact, I like j T more 434 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: than Rom this week. I think he's playing with a 435 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: massive chip on his shoulder. Hasn't won in eleven months, 436 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: and the last time we saw him two weeks ago 437 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: at Tory Pines, was in contention going into the weekend 438 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: and really didn't play well on the weekend whatsoever. So 439 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: I JT is working hard. I saw him out here 440 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: on the range early Monday afternoon, grinding away, had his 441 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: dad Mike and his caddie Bones Mackay out there working 442 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: with him. This was no like, Hey, let's go out 443 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and get get warmed up, hit some balls, get loose. 444 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: This was a serious session. I mean I'll walk up 445 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: to a player and I spoke with a few players 446 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: on the range yesterday were just kind of, you know, 447 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: knocking some balls around, getting the rust off a little bit. 448 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: It's Monday, we're just using our way into the week, 449 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: and you can walk up to those guys and you 450 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: know that they're not really grinding away. JT I stayed 451 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: away from because I could tell he was working hard 452 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: and he was trying to get something done out there. 453 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: So I like JT a whole lot this week. I 454 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: know he's second on the board, still a short number, 455 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: but I love him. It nearly twice the price of 456 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: ROM this week. I'd take JT every time. He definitely 457 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: checks the swaggy box, right, I mean he'll he'll play 458 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: the crowd. Um, how about a long shot? So my 459 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: favorite outright on the board, if it's not JT, I'm 460 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: dipping down for Keith Mitchell again. Exactly what I said 461 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: about having some swagger, having a little ego, being able 462 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: to go out there and show off for the people. 463 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: That's exactly what Keith Mitchell has. He's played really well 464 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: so far this year on of courses where his game 465 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't translate that well. Seventh at Wildlife for the Sony 466 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 1: opened twelfth last week at Pebble beach. This course, this 467 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: tournament sets up way better for Keith Mitchell's skill set 468 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: than those do. So if he's finishing with top finish 469 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: his top results at those ones, I really like him 470 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: for this one. I think he could be a smash play. 471 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: The number opened in some place that draftings one thirty 472 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: to one quickly moved to one ten to one. In 473 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: a lot of places, he's moved down all the way 474 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: to seventy eight to one. I think a lot of 475 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: people like Keith Mitchell this week, but there's a good 476 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: reason for it. I know you mentioned this guy in 477 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: your article and he's one here before as a top ten. 478 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: Gary Woodland, how about that play. I know he's not 479 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: playing well, but just guys that have course history here 480 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: and get comfortable in this environment. And you know, obviously 481 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: he's had a special moment here, you know, several years 482 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: ago on whole sixteen, and you know he loves his 483 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: juices get flowing for this thing, just so him five 484 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: minutes ago before we started recording, uh pulling his clubs 485 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: out of the trunk here on Tuesday morning. And yeah, 486 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: I do like Gary around this place. I think that 487 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: he's he's played well enough to at least keep himself 488 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: in the mix, at least make you think about him 489 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: and poorly enough to move that number a little bit 490 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: bigger so that you don't feel like you're you're going 491 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: too short with the odds on Gary Woodland. So yeah, 492 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready to go out and win 493 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: just yet. But like you said, for a top ten play, 494 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: a top twenty play on Woodland this week out of course, 495 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: where he's had a whole bunch of success, the two 496 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: thousand eighteen champion. Yeah, I like that play a lot. 497 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: I really do. Not necessarily a gambling question, but Tony 498 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: Fine is a guy that I think most people just 499 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: easy to easy to root for, and you want to 500 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: see him win. But it feels like he's a little 501 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: off right now? Did you do you just have a 502 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: golf take on Tony fenew Is because it feels like, 503 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: you know, he last year he was coming into his 504 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: own becoming, you know, had a chance to be an 505 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: elite player, and now he kind of feels like he's 506 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: trending the other way. Is that fair? Pretty fair? And 507 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: I think Tony would admit that, I don't know. I 508 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: don't have a great answer to it, only that Look, 509 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: we tend to this time of year look at some 510 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: players who haven't played their best golf yet, and we go, man, 511 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: what's wrong with so and so? Why isn't he playing well? 512 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: And then later in the year we go what does 513 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: it take to peak four times a year? What does 514 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: it take to play your best golf in the majors? 515 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: And so I can understand the the look you get 516 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: the response from players who say, wait, do you do 517 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: you want me to play really well in January and 518 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: February or do you want me to play really well 519 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: in the majors later on? So you can't have it 520 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: both ways. I'm not Tiger Woods. I'm not gonna play 521 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: my best golf every single time. I'd see it up 522 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: and so, hey, maybe it's a good thing. That's all 523 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: I can say about Tony right now, because again, like you, 524 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm very bullish on Tony moving forward. So all I 525 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: can say is, maybe it's a good thing that Tony 526 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: isn't playing his best golf right now, and that uh, 527 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: maybe in April, come May for the major championships, we 528 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 1: see something better out of Tony. Okay, one last thing, 529 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: all these guys flying you know from Saudi, does that 530 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: make you nervous, you know, whether they had success over 531 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: there or not. That that's a long trip back to Scottsdale. 532 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: Would that be one just you know, the Varners, the Bubba's, 533 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: the Tony's, the Whoever's just kind of a stay away 534 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: given that travel, John, you tied me up for this one. 535 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: I would be a lot more nervous flying into Saudi 536 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: than flying out of Saudi. So they're nice players who 537 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: are making that trip this week. Yeah, Look, anytime you're 538 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: flying overseas, and I get it, these guys are for 539 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: the most part either flying private or there in first 540 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: class and you're not in you know, thirty six e 541 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: middle seat in the back of the bus, and I 542 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: get it, you're traveling in luxury. But yeah, it's a 543 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: little tough to kind of get yourself from halfway around 544 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the world over to here and play your best golf. 545 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: And so guys like Xander Shafley, who has played really 546 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: well here in the past, Bubba Watson, who John, I 547 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: I don't understand anything about Bubba Watson because there's a 548 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: guy who says he doesn't like crowds, he doesn't like people, 549 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't like feeling claustrophobic inside the ropes, then comes 550 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: to Phoenix every year and play some of his best golf, 551 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: which uh makes zero sense in front of half a 552 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: million fans every year. So uh whatever, Bubba doesn't make sense. 553 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: But I still like to play a little bit too. 554 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, coming over from Saudi last week, it's it's 555 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit tougher for those guys. I 556 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: think that maybe you fade him first round, then you 557 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: take a little wait and see approach and jump on 558 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: something live either Friday or going into the weekend. Well, Jason, 559 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: enjoy the week and you know, stay away from those 560 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: transfusions when the sun's out and uh, just have a blast. 561 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: I will certainly try golf's biggest party this week and 562 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: I'll be on the outskirts of it. Doesn't get any better. 563 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: We'll have a good week, Jason, see him Okay? Male 564 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: bag at John middlecoff is the Instagram Jordan's speed one. 565 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: I like that home at a top ten, you get 566 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: around six and one get Verry Woodland, Keith Mitchell, a 567 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: couple of other top tens. I I think I might 568 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: get out of betting up just straight up and getting 569 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: more of the top tens. I hit Pat Perez last 570 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: week a hundred dollars paid eight fifty nine fifty dollars. 571 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: No big deal. Joel Damon had him the top five. Uh, 572 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: he ended up T. Six. But I might transition into 573 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: T fives or I mean fives in top tens and 574 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: and sprinkle a little bit on the winners because there's 575 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: nothing like, you know, hundred dollars paying two. Gee's hard 576 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: to beat at goal pod, at gol pod, fire up 577 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: in those d M. I'm an East Coast guy, so 578 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: curious to hear the West coast perspective. What are your 579 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: top five courses you want to play if you get 580 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: around with no problem? Well, I think number one would 581 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: be Augusta. I think that's every single humans number one. 582 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just gonna say domestic. Now I would 583 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: say this, I whatever the best course in in Florida's seminal. Uh. 584 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: If you told me that I could play with Michael 585 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: Jordan's at the Grove, Michael Jordan's course, that would trump Augusta. 586 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: If you're like, yeah, you can play with Mike. You 587 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: guys will drink and smoke a cigar, like, uh, yeah, 588 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm in So that that to me would be very, 589 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: very high on the list if I could play with Mike. 590 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: Uh whatever. The best course in Florida, I think a 591 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: lot of people call it Seminal Cyprus, you know, is 592 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: the nicest course in Monterey. I've never played it, but 593 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: everyone says that's arguably the best course in America. Pine Valley. 594 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm not really once we get to that level, really 595 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: a golf snob like, I'd love to play pine Hurst. Um, 596 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: I'd love to pay some of the best page you 597 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: know that those tracks in New York. I'd love to 598 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: play Riviera. I've never played Rivieria. Yeah, I mean, I'm 599 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: I'll play golf anywhere that's nice, public or private. Uh. 600 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: With Bryson having to withdraw due to injuries, it begs 601 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: the question that his swing is going to shorten his 602 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: career drastically. We saw Tiger have issues with his back, 603 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: and he was notoriously a hard swinger. But compared to Bryson, 604 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: it looks like Freddie Couples irony has Freddy Couples had 605 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: bag issues? Just wondering your thoughts. You know, Bryson has 606 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 1: tried to pooh pooh it. I've seen him put out 607 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: some statements like everyone needs to relax. Like, I'm sorry, Bryson. 608 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: You know you're lifting these crazy weights, like you're playing 609 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: right guard for the Dallas Cowboys. You're swinging out of 610 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: your ass, and now you're getting injured. I don't know, man, 611 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: I I'm with you. I got him red flag. I 612 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: don't know how he's going to maintain another d h 613 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Ambo question. To me, he seems more focused on hitting 614 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: it further than being better all around player. I also 615 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: feel like the body change and the distance is a 616 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: little overhyped. You would think that he transformed himself into 617 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: Tiger with the way it was discussed. I thought he 618 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: was a good player before, and I think he's a 619 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: good player now. It just made him more marketable. Yeah, 620 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: it made him better. I mean he's hitting the ball 621 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: three when he's healthy, three and sixty or seventy yards. 622 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: He he beat everyone at wingfoot by like five shots. 623 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: It is a huge advantage when it's on. Now he 624 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: can get really off and he his touch is not great. 625 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: Part of his touch every single club in his bag 626 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: is a six iron length. Have you ever just like 627 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: tried to chip with like and grab the wrong club 628 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: like a seven iron instead of you were trying to grab, 629 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: like your pitching wedge things long. So now the difference 630 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: is Bryson unlike Tiger. I guess Tiger was skinny. Tiger 631 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: got bulked up like a like a pro athlete. Bryson 632 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: just got thicker. You know. When you look at Bryson 633 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: at s m U and again, he was an elite 634 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: amateur player, an elite young player before he got big, 635 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: he was really skinny. But I'm with you, it's it's 636 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: a little overhyped. Yeah, is he a damn good player 637 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: when healthy? Yes? Does it? Is it perfect? By no means? 638 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: He really just tried to up the odds. That's what 639 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: he was trying to do, and it's worked. I mean, 640 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: he has been a powerhouse player. Can you explain a 641 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: little more about the SADDY League and what it would 642 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: do to golf for someone like Bryson took the money? 643 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, to me, there is no league unless they 644 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: get a ton of guys to go. So unless if 645 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: Bryson and Phil go alone, there is no league that 646 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: they need up For the league, they need forty five 647 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: to eight people. And are they gonna get forty eight people? No, 648 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: they're not. So you could argue the league, or I 649 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: mean if they did, they would be given out a 650 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: lot of money, and then the league would just turn 651 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: into you know, a league of forty eight people, and 652 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: every week there'd be team. There'd be ten, twelve teams. 653 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: They'd have a pod and they'd compete kind of Ryder 654 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: Cup style. Who knows. I mean, they could do whatever 655 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: they wanted from what I've read. But the main, the 656 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: main reason this is even an option is just the money, 657 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: because they would pay these guys a salary on top 658 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: of their marketing money that they're already getting, you know, 659 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: the but you know, Bridge Stone or Nike or whoever, 660 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: any bank, you would keep that and you would just 661 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: play against different teams and you would be guaranteed to 662 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: make money every single time you play. There's no cut 663 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: from what I understand. What's good. John loved the Gulf content, 664 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: not too familiar with Shamus Power, and was wondering your 665 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: thoughts heading into moving day beside, Candily, do you think 666 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: this guy's are five or six packs and juice to 667 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: keep monest toes know? I love HOGI I I think 668 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: the one thing that Pebble tournament that makes it unique 669 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: is they play three courses, so the setup of like, 670 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: do you play pebble last? Shamus played Monterey Peninsula last 671 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: and he wasn't very good. I think he shot two 672 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: over three over, but like those guys were getting after 673 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: it at pebble. So if you play pebble on, you know, 674 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: if you've done well at spy Glass and if you're 675 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: just a couple under going into Pebble on Saturday and 676 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: then you shoot five or six under, boom, you're in 677 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: the mix. Or Shamus was whatever he was, I guess 678 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: you'd have to be more than that. You know, if 679 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: you're five under and then you shoot five under a 680 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: pebble boom, you're ted eleven under. You got a chance. 681 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: Jamis was well in the lead. But once you come 682 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: back and these other guys played pebble, it's a big swing. 683 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: Love both podcasts. I need you to give me a 684 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: Norwegian brother, Victor Hovelin some love three victories in his 685 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: last five starts. I I think the talent between the 686 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: trio of Morikawa, Victor Hovelin and let's face it, when 687 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: Matt wolf is got a mind right and playing good golf, 688 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: the dude is a freak show, an absolute freak show. 689 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: The talent and those three guys is like, you know, 690 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: having a draft with Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and you 691 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: know Josh Allen. The ceiling on those guys. I mean, 692 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: Mark Cowell might win five majors. Hoveland is winning a major. 693 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: I would put it in the bank and throw away 694 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: the key. It is happening. Wolf has the talent to 695 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: win a major, especially the US Opens and the PGA Championships. 696 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a factor in those. Again, 697 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: he's got a you know, kind of find himself and 698 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: figure out how to navigate the PGA tour. You know, 699 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: Colin Marcal was like a forty year old on the tour, 700 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: very mature, engaged. Now Hoveland is just a joy makes 701 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: you smile. But Wolf, I like all three of those guys. 702 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: I think golf got very, very lucky that those guys 703 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: all came out at the same time. What would be 704 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 1: your dream forsome you plus three people at any course? Uh, 705 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: Tiger Michael Jordan, Tom Brady Boom. You know, if I 706 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: was gonna do like business people, I'd want, you know, 707 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: a dinner. If I was gonna play golf, I want 708 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: fucking some athletes. Tiger Jordan's Brady there it is. If 709 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: Tiger couldn't make it, I wouldn't mind. Prime Jack not 710 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: a big Bryson fan, and I'm sitting here watching him 711 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: bitch and moan about his back and hand injury at 712 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: the Farmer's Open. Let's assume it's a real injury and 713 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: not Bryson being a drama queen because he's playing like ass. 714 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: I've noticed injury starting to mount upple Bryson. Pretty sure 715 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: he had to pull out of the Sony because he 716 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: was hurt from Cappealoua the week before. Do you think 717 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: this is a big red flag? So basically the same 718 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: question because of his violent swing, it's definitely, you know, 719 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: kind of the elephant in the room right now with him. 720 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: Is he gonna break down? Just go to his YouTube page. 721 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: The dude's deadlifting like he's playing offensive line, Like, why 722 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: are you deadlifting like that? I was listening to the 723 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: Sleeves and Colt Nose podcast they had on Hank Haney 724 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: and Hany was like, you know, as I started spending 725 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: time around Tiger, I think, do you really need to 726 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: work out this hard? And there have been a lot 727 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: of articles written that he probably overdid it, you know, 728 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: and Tiger was just addicted to working out. You know, 729 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: I am too. I just need to sweat, so I 730 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: don't you know, it helps my just keeps my just 731 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,919 Speaker 1: keeps me balanced in life, you know. And uh, because 732 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: I can get high strung and it it mellows me out. 733 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: Now I'm not throwing around a lot of weights. I 734 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: just get on the treadmills to get a sweat. Tiger 735 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: was like addicted to being jacked. And I think the 736 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: one thing it shows you with Tom Brady is like pliability, 737 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, matters more quarterback. I think with golf, you know, 738 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: than it does like pure weightlifting. Question for the pod 739 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: from Troy, what sort of identity would you like to 740 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: see the PGA Championship adopt to become more relevant as 741 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: a major. The other three already have a brand mystique 742 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: to them. Masters pageantry, tradition, US Open, survival of the fittest, 743 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: the Open battling the elements. I like the way you 744 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: described all three. I agree. I would say the Masters 745 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: is kind of the super Bowl. The US Open is 746 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: just the toughest test in golf, and the Open, like 747 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: you said, is the elements just just this is where 748 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: golf started it could be twenty degrees and wind pumping, 749 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: good freaking luck, and it's traditionally, you know, kind of 750 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: lenksy golf. I don't think the PGA can really do anything, 751 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, it just it matters on the course. I 752 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: thought Kia was really cool. Uh, you know, I I 753 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: played Harding Park living in the Bay Area, bunch. I 754 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: thought they did a pretty good job that week. But 755 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: the course is just, you know, it's it's okay. You know, 756 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: should Harding Park host a major? You know, probably not, 757 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: but I'm glad it did, just because it's one of 758 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: those things where like I played it. But I don't 759 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: think there really is an identity. I just think it's 760 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: the fourth major. It's the least important major by a mile, 761 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: and it pays a lot of money and it's fun 762 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: to watch, and it matters like you get to rack 763 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: up a major. But it's clear if you were having 764 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: cocktails and you met a guy on the PGA tour 765 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm a Master's champion. You like 766 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: Freddie Couple's Tiger Woods, Marc o'mera, you know, nice to 767 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: meet you, right, you know, I'm Ernie Els. I have 768 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: won US Opens and the British Open. I know they 769 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 1: called it the Open. I called the British You'd be like, God, 770 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: you would want stories when you just meet someone like 771 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: Jason Day. And I love Jason Day, big fan. Actually 772 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: better on him to win Pebble. He was kind of 773 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 1: in the mix. He's like, you know, I'm a major champion, 774 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: Like what you win? He's like PJA Championship. You know, 775 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: just just Thomas is the same thing. Now, Justin Thomas 776 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: is definitely more likely to win another major, probably than 777 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: Jason Day that might never win. You know, I would 778 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: bet against Jason Day ever winning a major again, even 779 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: though I actually kind of saw his odds for the 780 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: Masters they were like sixty two one. I think he's 781 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: playing pretty well, but he plays a cut now not 782 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: a draw, so that I don't know. Uh, it's just 783 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: it is what it is. But there's nothing wrong with it, Like, 784 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: it's still really cool. You make a lot of money. 785 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: I just don't see how they could make it, Like, 786 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything they can do. I think 787 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: I give him a lot of credit for moving it up, 788 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: putting it between the Masters in the US Open. I 789 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: think that was smart. I think you just have to 790 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: have the drama. I think the tournament. You know, Phil 791 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: Mickelson made that, not Kiwa. So the drama of the champion, 792 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 1: the drama of the tournament. Masters is the Masters. Whether 793 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: her Deckie wins by ten or whether it's a three. 794 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 1: You know, three guys are in a playoff. Right, the Open, 795 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: the history speaks for itself. The US Open is like 796 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: playing the Five Bears. On defense. It's like buckle up 797 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 1: because this is gonna be four days of hell right rough, 798 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: up to your knees, fairways, rock hard greens, like concrete, 799 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: p D championship, just like cool.
