Speaker 1: What's up, guys. This Taylor Gooch. I got on today
Speaker 1: with For the People. I really wish I wasn't sitting
Speaker 1: in my hotel room doing it. I wish I was
Speaker 1: having a little bit of that brown juice behind pg's
Speaker 1: head with the both of them. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: blast and we'll have to do it again soon and
Speaker 1: we can't let that happen.
Speaker 2: We just can't let that happen on this podcast because
Speaker 2: we are for the people.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day.
Speaker 3: The guy's a hell of a player, beyond nails. That
Speaker 3: is the hardest part three of the PJ Jordan.
Speaker 2: It's a hybrid three iron or four iron every day.
Speaker 3: It's for the people.
Speaker 4: You're the last group off off a split tea horseshoe
Speaker 4: on number ten and you do a happy Gilmore.
Speaker 3: What the hell's wrong with that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, So this is another episode of FTP. We've started
Speaker 2: here we are recording. This is Taylor Gooch. Taylor Gooch.
Speaker 2: She won last week in Australia Adelaide on the Live
Speaker 2: Golf Tour. This is his second year on the Live
Speaker 2: Golf Tour. He is now in Singapore, thirteen hours ahead
Speaker 2: of us. So this took an Elisha Tiger in an
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State cowboy, three separate tries to get the time
Speaker 2: zone situation configured directly. Here we are. We've made it.
Speaker 2: It's for the people. Taylor Ridge, Welcome to FTP.
Speaker 1: Man, Thanks for having me. This is the Oklahoma State Matt.
Speaker 1: When you go, you know, around the world, it gets
Speaker 1: a little bit tough. So sorry for the challenges there.
Speaker 2: That's all right. I actually shocked that we actually did
Speaker 2: figure this out as well. Who did it? But the
Speaker 2: first thing I want to ask, all right, me and
Speaker 2: Colleen Coleeen's been at a happy hour for I don't know,
Speaker 2: like not a happy hour, happy.
Speaker 3: Day, more than an hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Clean's been at a happy day. Jealous, I've been
Speaker 2: at a happy day as well. You're in Singapore, so
Speaker 2: we wanted to know. This is this is what I
Speaker 2: wanted to know. And I just prefaced you on this earlier,
Speaker 2: the live golf situation. I mean, we Clean played on tour.
Speaker 2: I played on tour, You played on tour. We all
Speaker 2: paid for our own stuff, right, we all paid for
Speaker 2: our own hotels, airfare, food, caddy whatever it was like,
Speaker 2: And you just said it's the only tour in the
Speaker 2: world where the entertainers paid to entertain I love that quote.
Speaker 2: What's the situation with Live on paying for your stuff?
Speaker 2: Do you pay for your stuff? Do they pay for
Speaker 2: your stuff? How's it go?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean no, since joining Lived the only uh
Speaker 1: travel expenses, any expenses I've paid for have been at
Speaker 1: the Matrix. So yeah, no, they cover all expenses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy man. It's uh, there's a lot of speculation,
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know in the Twitter world,
Speaker 1: if you will that, uh, you know, I actually saw
Speaker 1: someone earlier. It's mind blowing someone earlier, and I think
Speaker 1: it was someone like with a golf digest or someone
Speaker 1: that should be an actual like Legit Publication was doing
Speaker 1: a podcast and they were like, you know, I just
Speaker 1: I think the home one Chase Keptkat made. I think
Speaker 1: it was stage. I don't think it actually happened. And
Speaker 1: I was like, if that doesn't like embody all of
Speaker 1: the quote unquote misinformation, uh within the live world, I
Speaker 1: just you know, it's just crazy man. But no, to
Speaker 1: answer your question, yeah, we all of our expenses are covered.
Speaker 1: It's almost like we are actually playing a sport now.
Speaker 1: And Derek Novitsky and Lebron James aren't paying for their
Speaker 1: hotels and flights and all their expenses anymore. Dude.
Speaker 4: That sounds like the guy that like when they landed
Speaker 4: on the moon, people are like this shit is stage
Speaker 4: like that ever happened? Fake news? Fake news on the
Speaker 4: moon landing?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Oh god?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Can you imagine Lebron? Like Lebron, you know you got
Speaker 4: to pay for you tell He's like, bro, we're at
Speaker 4: Motel six tonight. If I'm being if he's paying for that,
Speaker 4: He's known he won't even pay for his Twitter check.
Speaker 3: I think Elon gave him one fat Well, I'm not
Speaker 3: paying for that, man, Dude.
Speaker 2: That's the thing though, It's like you you play your
Speaker 2: whole life, and you grind through high school and college
Speaker 2: golf and you work your ass off right, and then
Speaker 2: you turn pro and all of a sudden, like you
Speaker 2: might be a first team All American, but you're you know,
Speaker 2: you're immediately trying to pinch pennies right out of the
Speaker 2: gate because you have no money. Like that doesn't happen
Speaker 2: in either sport. That's why, like FTP US at FTP,
Speaker 2: we've been on board with Live from day one. Dude.
Speaker 2: I was like Colleen was even like, dude, I would
Speaker 2: I would pay them to let me play, you know,
Speaker 2: because I mean, what's the last place you go shoot?
Speaker 2: You go shoot eighty five three times and you make
Speaker 2: a fifty grant, you're an actual pro athlete. Like That's
Speaker 2: That's what people don't understand, I think is the spending
Speaker 2: on the PGA tour. I think my best year in
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, I spent like three hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars just to plenty. Like you and you know that,
Speaker 2: like that if you were playing, I don't know what
Speaker 2: you what you spent you know your what were you
Speaker 2: on the PGA tour two or three years, three or
Speaker 2: four years? You probably spent between two fifty and three
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars just to do your job,
Speaker 2: Like that's unheard of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and it's always like a challenge because
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you you want to it's like
Speaker 1: any business, like you want to not overspend and you
Speaker 1: want to spend properly. But the same time, too, does
Speaker 1: it do you shoot sixty seven rather than sixty eight
Speaker 1: if you're staying at the Ritz versus the Hotel six?
Speaker 1: Like you know, the comfort of being on the road
Speaker 1: and that added value of being somewhere nice eating good food,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, just all that it's it makes
Speaker 1: it challenging as far as like all right, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean there was like I just told you, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not on hotels dot Com trying to
Speaker 1: find the best value every single week. Now, I'm not going,
Speaker 1: as you know, spending We're not spending one thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a night on hotels every week. But you know, I
Speaker 1: I'm staying in more comfortable places, you know, And there's
Speaker 1: just something that inherently makes you more comfortable when it's
Speaker 1: not coming out of your pocket. And it just to me,
Speaker 1: I feel like it helps to me play some better golf.
Speaker 1: That's one least thing I got to think about focused
Speaker 1: on worrying about, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I got a question from a
Speaker 2: buddy of mine here in for Worth, and he was
Speaker 2: wondering about the winners on the Lift Tour right so
Speaker 2: far and they haven't necessarily been winners on the PGA
Speaker 2: Tour before. So you have, like Danny Lee yourself, you know,
Speaker 2: Brooks has won twice. Okay, Brooks has won twice. Is
Speaker 2: kind of the anomaly. But for the for the most part,
Speaker 2: almost all of not all, but almost all of them
Speaker 2: besides Brooks and Chuck have been first time winners. Has
Speaker 2: a pro whether or not that's PGA Tour or lived.
Speaker 2: And he was asking me why I thought that was
Speaker 2: and I thought I told him, I said, it's because
Speaker 2: they have a lot less pressure on their plate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean there's no doubt like like yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, DJ and Cam and Brooks,
Speaker 1: like there's been guys that have won on live that
Speaker 1: have had ultri success everywhere. But yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: Charles Howe, who is an incredible golfer as we all
Speaker 1: know and has played had an incredible career. You know,
Speaker 1: some would argue he hasn't won as much on tours
Speaker 1: what you would expect, but you know, there is a
Speaker 1: something that's like a freedom about being out here and
Speaker 1: being able to just solely focus on your game, like
Speaker 1: solely focus on you know, shooting the low score you can.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's one of my kind of topics
Speaker 1: of discussion is like like dude, any like do you
Speaker 1: want we'll use Lebron? You know, like, do you want
Speaker 1: Lebron having to think about different things, you know when
Speaker 1: it comes to basketball, or do you put twelve different
Speaker 1: people in place to handle and manage those things so
Speaker 1: that he can focus solely on his training, so he
Speaker 1: can focus solely on the film, the game film, like,
Speaker 1: so that he can be the best player you can
Speaker 1: be in And that's what I continue to say, is
Speaker 1: like liv is doing an incredible job of putting us
Speaker 1: in a position so that we can play the best
Speaker 1: golf that we can play. Which that's the product, Like,
Speaker 1: the better the golf is, the more enjoyable and more exciting,
Speaker 1: more enticing, it's gonna be for the fans, right, And
Speaker 1: so that's what they've done a great job of, is
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to handle everything, do everything
Speaker 1: for you so that you have no excuses to go
Speaker 1: play great golf basically for real.
Speaker 4: I mean that's that's spun on, dude. I mean, it's
Speaker 4: you're right, It's just like every other sport right now.
Speaker 4: It's like, I mean, major League Baseball, hockey, I mean, whatever, football,
Speaker 4: the whole deal, you show up team even college, dude,
Speaker 4: Like college is so regimented now with football, like even
Speaker 4: in home games are not even allowed to stay in
Speaker 4: their own freaking like house or whatever. It's like they're
Speaker 4: going to the guests or whatever, the host hotel. They're
Speaker 4: all dialed like it's all about the sport that week,
Speaker 4: and then you get after it and then when you have
Speaker 4: free time, you have free time.
Speaker 2: But that's it.
Speaker 4: I just looked up your tea time for this week. Bro,
Speaker 4: that's pretty Nail's tea time. That's the that's got to
Speaker 4: be the premiere, premiere setting or whatever.
Speaker 1: Hey, we don't have tea times out here. Remember this,
Speaker 1: what do you have?
Speaker 4: Oh shotgun hold ship with the go to be one.
Speaker 4: It's not one, it's not it's not thirteen c.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest.
Speaker 3: It's freaking out it be Toward the start.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was funny. It was funny at
Speaker 1: August the maybe it was Saturday morning, I can't remember, Gus.
Speaker 1: The week was just chaos, but uh yeah, so Saturday
Speaker 1: morning we finished our second round Saturday morning and we
Speaker 1: were about to everyone that made the cove was about
Speaker 1: to start the third round and Zak Johnson was on
Speaker 1: the bike in there and there's probably called it twelve
Speaker 1: or fifteen dudes in there because we don't know what
Speaker 1: our tea time is, but we know it's gonna be
Speaker 1: between like you know, ten thirty and twelve thirty or whatever,
Speaker 1: so we kind of have a you know, you have
Speaker 1: an idea of when you're gonna be slotted. And so
Speaker 1: the tea times came out and Zach was on the
Speaker 1: bike and he's like, all right, who wants the other
Speaker 1: tea times? And he starts like pinning and he's like,
Speaker 1: you're at you know eleven with stone stone, stone Stone.
Speaker 1: He starts pouring everyone and there was like three or
Speaker 1: four of us lived dudes in there, and uh, and
Speaker 1: then he's just like he gets to like one of
Speaker 1: the live guys. He goes, oh, and all you guys,
Speaker 1: you always try a gun in that too, like just
Speaker 1: you know, just joke around with us that it was
Speaker 1: it was funny. And then like five minutes later, like
Speaker 1: y'all know how like that in the trailer, like the
Speaker 1: TVs are usually going with some sports center on or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm tired of listening to sports
Speaker 1: because they were just talking you know, live BJ tour
Speaker 1: typical stuff. And so he's like, let me get on
Speaker 1: the Knox and so he's trying to figure out on
Speaker 1: his phone, like how to get the music going? Like
Speaker 1: five minutes later, you still and figured it out, and
Speaker 1: I was like, is Zach? I was like, if you
Speaker 1: need help the music thing, us live guys are pretty
Speaker 1: good with that, so we can help you with that.
Speaker 1: So it was funny. But yeah, we always say like
Speaker 1: because we still catch ourselves saying, hey, you know, when
Speaker 1: are we going off tomorrow? It's like, oh, no, we're
Speaker 1: going off at the same time. It's just which team
Speaker 1: are we going off of now? So it's funny.
Speaker 2: So is the Do you think that the college golf
Speaker 2: When you played college golf, did it kind of compare
Speaker 2: to live a little bit because you didn't have to
Speaker 2: worry about when you played in Oklahoma State? All right?
Speaker 2: I mean I visited Oklahoma State. They didn't want me
Speaker 2: because I wasn't good enough. But Oklahoma State you don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about shit other than getting the ball
Speaker 2: in the hole right and that. Then you turn pro
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you have to worry about
Speaker 2: all this other stuff when you're playing on the PGA Tour.
Speaker 2: But when you join live, did it kind of bring
Speaker 2: you back to your Oklahoma State days where you didn't
Speaker 2: have to worry about anything.
Speaker 1: Golf, Yeah, I mean there's no doubt. That's like the
Speaker 1: closest comparison. You know, you're out there and you're trying
Speaker 1: to do your do the best that you can for
Speaker 1: yourself obviously, because there's you know, you don't you don't
Speaker 1: want to lose, like you want to go, you want
Speaker 1: to play well, we're all competitors. There's so much on
Speaker 1: the line. And then also with the team aspect, that's like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing better than playing for your team,
Speaker 1: playing for your squad. I mean, I grew up playing
Speaker 1: a bunch of different sports and I love the team
Speaker 1: aspect of other sports, and that was such a you know,
Speaker 1: a change to go you know, really your whole life,
Speaker 1: even with golf, you know, you know, for me, it
Speaker 1: started middle school, Like when I was in seventh grade.
Speaker 1: I was the first time I was like on a team, right,
Speaker 1: So like seventh grade until you know, when I was thirteen,
Speaker 1: until I was twenty two, you know, ten years straight.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm on a on a team and we're
Speaker 1: you know, playing team golf every week. And then you
Speaker 1: turn pro and it's just yourself and so it's just
Speaker 1: you know, for me, that was obviously one of the
Speaker 1: driving factors of the siding to go to live was, Man,
Speaker 1: this is if this team stuff takes off, which you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that it will. Like that's fun. Man,
Speaker 1: that's that's different. And like this last week in Adelaide,
Speaker 1: the first round, it was the first time we had
Speaker 1: done this where the team captains all played together and
Speaker 1: then the rest of the groups were three the three
Speaker 1: remaining teammates were paired together. So the first round this
Speaker 1: last week, I played with Thomas Peters and Harold Barner
Speaker 1: and man, it was cool. Like Thomas was was struggling,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of one of those tipping points
Speaker 1: where you know he could have thrown the towel in
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and you know, just having your teammate
Speaker 1: there with you having something more than yourself to play for.
Speaker 1: You tell he dug deep, you know, you could tell
Speaker 1: he wanted to snap some clubs and wanted to kind
Speaker 1: of just ship it. But you know he kind of
Speaker 1: sacked up Dug Deep, and you know, grinted it out
Speaker 1: for trying to, you know, help the team out and
Speaker 1: help lift everyone up. So you know, the team aspect
Speaker 1: is that it's the closest thing to college sports and
Speaker 1: college golf is as you know, we've had.
Speaker 2: That's cool, man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, h we love HB three, Like he's obviously we
Speaker 4: know him and he's he's not on this pot before.
Speaker 4: But yeah, like you feel you feel like more accountable
Speaker 4: for like the team score, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's like like how many times have you played event
Speaker 4: Like you're playing like shit or whatever, and you're like,
Speaker 4: all right, like I'm not mail it, I'm missing the cut,
Speaker 4: not mail it in. But you're just hitting some shots
Speaker 4: you never hit, like it doesn't really matter. You just
Speaker 4: you don't want a WD but you're just going for it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it's like you don't want to
Speaker 4: let the guys down. You're like, I want to see
Speaker 4: I want you know, they're going to see what I
Speaker 4: got or whatever to try to finish this round and shit,
Speaker 4: then he can help out the next one. Thomas Peter
Speaker 4: is a little different situation like top fifty player in
Speaker 4: the world type thing, but it's pretty that's cool, man.
Speaker 4: You feed off each other too, I'm sure. I mean
Speaker 4: that's just like the way the college golf, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the I was wondering about this, And so
Speaker 2: when you play the BGA too, when Clean played the
Speaker 2: VJA to where I played the VH or you have
Speaker 2: a direct deposit set up, all right, and you have
Speaker 2: it set up to where you get paid the Wednesday
Speaker 2: after every tournament's over Wednesday morning, bam, you should hits
Speaker 2: your account every week? Is it the same on LEB
Speaker 2: Do you get paid like the next week?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I was checking my phone on Monday because
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to see that thing hit, and yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it Monday after the direct deposit hits. It was a
Speaker 1: little bit disheartening seeing forty seven and a half percent
Speaker 1: because they're all filling taxes not enter the account. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a little disheartening, especially coming like a week
Speaker 1: after Uncle Sam had already paid another visit for last year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but no, it comes, it comes, you know
Speaker 1: almost it Sometimes it's like forty eight hours, but it's
Speaker 1: usually twenty four hours after it direct posit hits, And yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, Uh, it was a it was a big
Speaker 1: one this last week, but yeah, it was. It sucked
Speaker 1: that forty seven and a half percent was with held
Speaker 1: for Australian taxes.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, dude, So you're talking instead of four million dollars,
Speaker 2: you get a wire for like two point three and
Speaker 2: then you got to pay federal taxes in the United
Speaker 2: States now too.
Speaker 1: Yeah that uh. Hey, I'm by no means complaining, but
Speaker 1: the four once you cut it all up is let's
Speaker 1: just say it's a lot less than four uh on
Speaker 1: on the back end of it. But hey, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna complain.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, just right right off the jet fuel. You'll
Speaker 3: get it back.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Hey, the range goes finished second too. Se
Speaker 2: y'all got a little the healthy little extra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was nice to get a little bit
Speaker 1: of a little bit of team budget money, if you will.
Speaker 1: It was immediately so a couple of teams that have
Speaker 1: played well, Like some of the first things they when
Speaker 1: they you know, got a little cash flow was you
Speaker 1: start getting some team gear, like like uh, the guy
Speaker 1: who basically the principal of the team, if you will. Uh,
Speaker 1: on Monday, it was like, hey, we're going to get
Speaker 1: some new club gloves and some new like travel gear
Speaker 1: and this and that kind of like you're talking about
Speaker 1: like college sports, college golf. He uh, He's like, you know,
Speaker 1: which one do you want? This? That we're gonna get
Speaker 1: you know, logoed up and stuff, and so we're all
Speaker 1: pumped to get some you know, club gloves with some
Speaker 1: rangecoat gear or logo and and stuff. So yeah, uh
Speaker 1: it was. It was a good week for the range gooats.
Speaker 4: Bro I would want like a I would want like
Speaker 4: a platinum diamond range go golf bag and make my
Speaker 4: caddie drag that ship around like I don't carry only
Speaker 4: a club. I got a Southwest Adams golf club glove.
Speaker 4: Like that thing's pretty dialed. It's like stood the test
Speaker 4: of time.
Speaker 1: Give me that.
Speaker 4: Give me that freaking range goat's like chain or whatever
Speaker 4: you got. That's pretty good, man, I like, I like it.
Speaker 4: You look forward to that. You're like won the money.
Speaker 4: You're like, God, I can't wait to see kind of
Speaker 4: club clubs and area we got, right, give me some
Speaker 4: maybe some platinum t s PD just to hit, just
Speaker 4: to hit off of the kicks.
Speaker 2: I mean, you did rock like the license play the
Speaker 2: license plate size range coats. You know, Shane, he was
Speaker 2: he was blinging out after you while I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I respect, I got to get the dude on the pod.
Speaker 4: I'mbing a grill like just fucking just a dialed grill,
Speaker 4: just like a range Coats grill that you just rocked
Speaker 4: through the airport security. Don't worry about it. But real man,
Speaker 4: like a rapper man, just feel like a rapper going.
Speaker 2: Through and then you look like a rapper too. Like
Speaker 2: that's so we had we had hud We had hud
Speaker 2: Hudson Swafford on. I want to say that was when
Speaker 2: was that, Colleen? Probably like October? It was right before
Speaker 2: he announced he was out for the year, so you know,
Speaker 2: it was wrong before the National Championship.
Speaker 3: But Hud twice, dude, haven't We had hudg twice?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we had him on when he was on
Speaker 2: the PGA Tour. Then we had him on when he
Speaker 2: went to Live and it was right before Georgia and
Speaker 2: TC played in the National Championship.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was talking ship like.
Speaker 2: That's what it was. And then and he was out
Speaker 2: for the for the live season. But you are are
Speaker 2: you are only are You are our first live golf
Speaker 2: winner that we've had on here. So uh how much?
Speaker 2: So we asked we asked Hu this question too, and
Speaker 2: it was a kind of a sad answer. Was I
Speaker 2: was very I wasn't surprised, but I was, like, man,
Speaker 2: that is shitty that there are that many people that
Speaker 2: like defriended you almost because you went to live. Do
Speaker 2: you have you had have you lost relationships? Have you
Speaker 2: had things change with your friend group since you went
Speaker 2: to Live? I mean it's been two years, so it's
Speaker 2: probably not as bad now, But immediately, like right afterwards,
Speaker 2: was was weird?
Speaker 1: Man for me, not really now. I Uh, I kind
Speaker 1: of kept to myself on tour, man, I didn't I
Speaker 1: didn't have I kind of joked with my buddies back home.
Speaker 1: I'm like golfers aren't really cool. And so I didn't
Speaker 1: have like a whole bunch of friends out on tour
Speaker 1: if you will, Uh, like I, hey, we're as you know,
Speaker 1: like everyone's cool, like we all get along and stuff.
Speaker 1: But there just wasn't a bunch of dudes that like
Speaker 1: I'm going to dinner with and whatever. Like I had
Speaker 1: a handful of my dudes that I was tied with,
Speaker 1: like Harold and you know Max Homa, uh, and you
Speaker 1: know handful of others and like, man, everyone's been been cool.
Speaker 1: Like no one no one has given me crab, no
Speaker 1: one has like shunned me, hud is he's kind of
Speaker 1: like the worst example of that because of the that
Speaker 1: click out there they they uh man, they treated him
Speaker 1: like crap. Man. I felt terrible for him, and I yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it sucked for him. And you know, there's
Speaker 1: you hear a few of those type of situations, but
Speaker 1: he's kind of been the worst case, uh for that,
Speaker 1: and it's because you know where he lives, I mean,
Speaker 1: with Davis Love kind of you know, being the mayor
Speaker 1: of Sea Island, he kind of rallied the troops, if
Speaker 1: you will. He was obviously everyone knows he was so
Speaker 1: vocal there at the beginning of all this, and you know,
Speaker 1: that's been kind of the sad part of this whole
Speaker 1: situation is like people have put pressure from high up
Speaker 1: on the players and in some ways to kind of
Speaker 1: pick and choose sides, like when in reality, like everyone
Speaker 1: is winning because of this new situation, like everyone they're
Speaker 1: the only people that aren't winning are a handful of
Speaker 1: executives within the establishment. And then you know, depending on
Speaker 1: how the majors continue to act and decide their pathway
Speaker 1: through their tournaments, like the fans might be the only
Speaker 1: ones also not winning in the future. If the majors
Speaker 1: you know, decide to you know, continue to rely on
Speaker 1: the owgr for you know, getting their their filth, you know,
Speaker 1: full of guys. So anyways, like it. That's been kind
Speaker 1: of the sad part is some of the some of
Speaker 1: the division and some of the pressure. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: been I won't name names, but there's been some dudes
Speaker 1: that have decided to not support charities, foundation causes of
Speaker 1: some of the live players because these players sponsors and
Speaker 1: and you know, some of these guys have you know,
Speaker 1: basically said if you go and do this, we we
Speaker 1: can't support you anymore. So that that's that's been the
Speaker 1: part that's been to me. It's been like the craziest.
Speaker 1: It's like, hold on a second, Like this guy is
Speaker 1: raising money for a great cause and doing great stuff
Speaker 1: within his community, and you're getting pressure from your sponsor
Speaker 1: to not support that. Like that's what makes the PGA
Speaker 1: tour great is all all the good that they do
Speaker 1: and all the money that they raise is like, you know,
Speaker 1: to help support local communities. And a player is still
Speaker 1: doing that, just not on the PGA tour now and
Speaker 1: you can't support him through that. It's just that's the
Speaker 1: part of the kind of gets me, especially now having
Speaker 1: like my wife and I Star Foundation a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, like having that and seeing how much worked
Speaker 1: and sweat and time that goes into that, like and
Speaker 1: then like our peers are now being forced to not
Speaker 1: help us with that. That that's part that's been really
Speaker 1: really shitty. I think, Yeah, that makes.
Speaker 4: Sense, dude, Yeah, I mean it's well, the hypocrisy is
Speaker 4: like off the charts for all of it too. It's like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to support this, but I'll support that,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: It's like a bunch of shit. I mean for real, especially.
Speaker 4: When you all I mean raising money for charity. I
Speaker 4: mean it's like, for God's sakes, how much how much
Speaker 4: more respectable can you be?
Speaker 3: Like someone's not going to someone's not going to support that.
Speaker 4: I mean, my god, yes, it is what it, dude,
Speaker 4: tell us about this course and uh so like PT
Speaker 4: have you been to PD almost got kicked out of
Speaker 4: Malaysia for being himself.
Speaker 3: But PA to Singapore before or no.
Speaker 2: What with Singapore. I've not done the Singapore situation, but
Speaker 2: Malaysia is not far I don't think I'm I'm no
Speaker 2: geography expert, but I don't think Malaysia is far from Singapore.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And Malaysia was very second world when I was there,
Speaker 2: it was. It was a second world country. I think
Speaker 2: it still is. We had a police export everywhere we went.
Speaker 2: I ended up bringing like six or seven fake watches
Speaker 2: back from this And it wasn't like Chinatown. It's not
Speaker 2: like you bought these things on the street, like there
Speaker 2: were those guys. There were those guys that had them
Speaker 2: on the street, right, But there was this place that
Speaker 2: like they were like this way and like Jason, Me
Speaker 2: and Jason Gore, I'll never forget me and Jason Gore
Speaker 2: like walked through this back alley with this one Malaysian
Speaker 2: dude and we went we went through this little door
Speaker 2: and then we showed a password to this one guy
Speaker 2: and he let us in. And then another guy let
Speaker 2: us into his back room. And these watches that I
Speaker 2: brought back, you cannot tell at all if they're fake
Speaker 2: or real, like I I have, I have two of them,
Speaker 2: still two of them, and these things are ten years
Speaker 2: old at this point. They still work great. Like they
Speaker 2: might be stolen watches, not sure, but they were. They
Speaker 2: were five percent of the price of a real one.
Speaker 2: I bought a I bought a one thousand dollars fake
Speaker 2: watch at thee.
Speaker 4: On someone's hand that was like cut off and then
Speaker 4: the watch was on the other side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was styled.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I got down that rabbit hole,
Speaker 2: but but I'm sure Singapore had watch. I'm sure Singapore
Speaker 2: has those kind of situations if you want to. But no,
Speaker 2: this course looks awesome. I just looked at the live
Speaker 2: video of the golf course and they've mowed. It looks
Speaker 2: like they've mowed half the fairway in and half the
Speaker 2: fairway out. So it's it's kind of a cool, uh
Speaker 2: contrast of grasses there, Like it looks like a cool place.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure it's hot a ship, but yes,
Speaker 2: it going to be a ton of people out there.
Speaker 2: And imagine Asia. Asian Golf's huge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the the courses, it was described to me,
Speaker 1: probably because this is my first time it was described
Speaker 1: to me previous to this week, is kind of almost
Speaker 1: considered like the Gusta of Asia, and and so it's
Speaker 1: like the conditions are immaculate, like it's it is just
Speaker 1: primo right now. Uh, And it's it's hard like it's
Speaker 1: there's a few fairways that go like along this like
Speaker 1: inner coastal that like there's no rough like on the
Speaker 1: shore like shoreline. So like yesterday or the day before,
Speaker 1: I hit a couple of te balls that I thought
Speaker 1: were good, Like they land in the fairway and they
Speaker 1: just keep bound bound, bounced, rolling and they go into
Speaker 1: the water. And because like you said, like half the
Speaker 1: fairways are into you have to away from you like mode,
Speaker 1: and they mow the the strip of you know, fairway
Speaker 1: that's closest to the water, they mow that down grain.
Speaker 1: And so it's like the balls are if they land
Speaker 1: down grain, it feels like it just keeps going and
Speaker 1: going and going and it goes into the water. And
Speaker 1: so it's it's, uh, you know, from a technical perspective,
Speaker 1: like the you gotta drive it well out here. So
Speaker 1: if you're hitting fairways, you got to you got a
Speaker 1: good chance. But you know, it's it's seventy four I
Speaker 1: think I saw it's like a little over seventy four
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I think it's part seventy one rough water.
Speaker 1: There's it's almost got a touch up at the of
Speaker 1: Hilton Head in it where there's some tee balls where
Speaker 1: like you gotta be up the left side because there's
Speaker 1: some overhanging trees over here. So if you can get
Speaker 1: off the tee pretty good, you know you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to make some hay. But it's it's it's hard.
Speaker 1: I I don't foresee sixty two sixty two starting out
Speaker 1: the week this week like last week.
Speaker 2: Dude, let's talk about that twenty underparth or two rounds.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, did you take like five adderall
Speaker 2: both wrongs? Like what how did you? How the hell
Speaker 2: did you do that?
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all know, like I it just it just happened.
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't even know really it was h
Speaker 1: what's crazy? I didn't. I think I made about one
Speaker 1: put outside ten feet the first two days. I made
Speaker 1: about a twelve footer on the second round, and other
Speaker 1: than that, it was just it was a stripe show,
Speaker 1: like I just it was one of those like every
Speaker 1: day or every hole, it's like you walk up and
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, that's a perfect nine iron, and
Speaker 1: I hit the perfect nine iron to two feet Like
Speaker 1: it was just a you know, a perfect storm for
Speaker 1: you know, the two days that it was you know
Speaker 1: because usually like like y'all know, you go shoot sixty two.
Speaker 1: You you know you made a forty footer for eagle,
Speaker 1: you chipped in, you know, you hit one in the
Speaker 1: trees and it bounced down to the fairway. You made
Speaker 1: birdie from there. Like it was one of those weird
Speaker 1: situations that really none of that happened. I just I
Speaker 1: just it was a shot show. Yeah that's golf.
Speaker 4: I mean I've taken five out of all multiple times,
Speaker 4: and I do not shoot sixty two sixty two, Like
Speaker 4: I can guarantee you that one million, thousand, kazillion percent. Dude,
Speaker 4: this is my question, bro, how do you sleep on
Speaker 4: a ten shot lead?
Speaker 1: Man? Like? What I mean?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 1: You just like put.
Speaker 3: Yourself like like in a bubble be like no one
Speaker 3: touched me. I don't want to get sick.
Speaker 4: I don't want to get food points, Like I'm not
Speaker 4: going to tie one on tonight or do you tie
Speaker 4: one on here?
Speaker 3: Like I got a big lead? Like what do you
Speaker 3: what do you do?
Speaker 4: Because at some point, like nothing can go wrong ten
Speaker 4: shot leads, So how do you how do you sleep
Speaker 4: on a lead?
Speaker 1: Like I will say I had a buddy in fund
Speaker 1: that Uh, we went in. We might have had a
Speaker 1: little bit more wind than what you probably would have
Speaker 1: with a two shot lead. By no means, I was
Speaker 1: already celebrating the soon to be win. But I didn't
Speaker 1: mind having maybe a little bit more than what you
Speaker 1: would normally have the night before you had a Sunday lead.
Speaker 1: But no, man, it was it was actually not that
Speaker 1: odd from a sense of like the team lead. We
Speaker 1: only had a one, one or two shot lead as
Speaker 1: a team. And and you know, so I knew that
Speaker 1: I like, I gotta go play some good golfmer, I
Speaker 1: gotta go shoot a low one and try to get
Speaker 1: the team win, because there there is nothing cooler than
Speaker 1: being up there spraying your teammates with champagne and the
Speaker 1: whole crowd going wild and cheering for you like that.
Speaker 1: That's man, It's as cool as it gets. So that
Speaker 1: that was it was. Let's just say it was easy
Speaker 1: to stay, you know, locked in on on Sunday to
Speaker 1: try to shoot a low one so that we could
Speaker 1: try to get up there and celebrate as a team.
Speaker 1: I keep telling Bubba, who you know is uh, he's
Speaker 1: he's not not a drinker. I keep selling telling him,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to spray him in the face with
Speaker 1: some champagne after we get a win and he just
Speaker 1: he might he may not drink it, but it's going
Speaker 1: to get into a system somehow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: See, and that's an interesting deal. I think that's that's
Speaker 2: so you're talking about you have a ten shot lead. Okay,
Speaker 2: you have a ten shot lead, but in the back
Speaker 2: of your mind at dinner the night before the final round,
Speaker 2: you're thinking about winning as a team, so you still
Speaker 2: have to bring it the next day. Like if an
Speaker 2: in shot lead in an individual tournament, you're not going
Speaker 2: to lose, like you're really just not. But if you're
Speaker 2: on a team and the team needs you to perform
Speaker 2: still and you've only got a one shot lead, then
Speaker 2: you need to bring it. Like that is something that
Speaker 2: that's that's surprising even here because you know, it's something
Speaker 2: we've never thought about in regular team golf outside of
Speaker 2: you know, Walker Cups and Ryder Cups and stuff like
Speaker 2: that in college golf. So it's refreshing. Like I loved
Speaker 2: college golf. That was that high school golf. College golf.
Speaker 2: That's what I lived for, you know, that was that
Speaker 2: was what I do. And then I got the pro
Speaker 2: golf and I hate, just hate it from day one.
Speaker 2: Just lucky to hang on for like four or five
Speaker 2: years and do okay, But so so talk about so
Speaker 2: talk about this week? You got you got this? This
Speaker 2: hard golf course sounds like it's like Carson Creek, but
Speaker 2: narrower and harder. It's gonna be one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: degrees the range the range goats. Range goats are peaking
Speaker 2: right now. Is there any way that y'all can beat
Speaker 2: the four races?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that's the uh, that's the as some
Speaker 1: would say, the fifty thousand dollars question. I'll let y'all
Speaker 1: take that as it as you want that. That's that's
Speaker 1: the goal.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Ever since I decided last year to move over to
Speaker 1: the range goats from Basis, uh my, my dude, DJ
Speaker 1: has been talking some talking.
Speaker 2: So wait, that was your decision?
Speaker 1: I thought he traded you mm now.
Speaker 2: That was your decision?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So we had all thought that that He
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I get out of here, Taylor.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, man, I mean kind of like you said,
Speaker 1: like I Harold and I are. That's one of my
Speaker 1: best buds, and so you know, he Uh, let's just
Speaker 1: say he got he got some cold feet, uh, last
Speaker 1: year around this this time of the year, and so
Speaker 1: that's why he wasn't at the first first Lift tournament.
Speaker 1: But we had been talking about it, and he you know,
Speaker 1: we had talked about being being on the same team
Speaker 1: and and teaming up out here, and so you know,
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to be on the same team
Speaker 1: as Harold. We wanted to go and and and do
Speaker 1: this and have a blast together. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: like imagine you having a chance to go and team
Speaker 1: up with one of your buddies and try to travel
Speaker 1: the world and try to go win trophies together. So
Speaker 1: you know, when I had the chance to go and
Speaker 1: team up with hair with Harold and uh, go do this,
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I gotta go, I gotta go
Speaker 1: do this. And and so yeah, ever since I did that.
Speaker 1: It was actually last year in Miami for the final
Speaker 1: tournament on live, the team championship and the four aces
Speaker 1: we won. We went four million dollars apiece, no state
Speaker 1: income tax state not forty seven and a half percent
Speaker 1: income state. We uh, you know, we're after the win,
Speaker 1: we're celebrating, hanging out and then DJ just looks at
Speaker 1: me goes enjoy this because this ain't happened again and
Speaker 1: so ever since then immediately, like I texted Harold and
Speaker 1: I texted Bubba, and I was like, y'all need to
Speaker 1: get your shit right because we got to go beat them.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, that was like stuff that like outside
Speaker 1: uh you know, of the live universe right now, like
Speaker 1: people probably don't don't see it, but I think that's
Speaker 1: what's going to come to fruition in time. Is like
Speaker 1: like when I went on stage this last week after winning,
Speaker 1: and and after I get off stage and the Aces
Speaker 1: were walking on stage, I was like, this sucks, man,
Speaker 1: Like all all we've wanted to do is beat them.
Speaker 1: And like, while it's cool that I won, like like
Speaker 1: they're they're walking past me and they're just kind of
Speaker 1: smirking at me, and I'm just like, yeah, this ain't it.
Speaker 1: So yes, we want to beat daysas everyone wants to
Speaker 1: be beat Days's, but we we, like I said, more
Speaker 1: so than anything, I want spray Bubba straight in the
Speaker 1: face with some champagne. I want to stray Bubba or
Speaker 1: Harold straight in the face with some champagne.
Speaker 4: So yeah, our dial this weekend, dude, PD. I was
Speaker 4: looking at this place like they're bait. I mean, they're
Speaker 4: basically on an island off Singapore and there's casinos, five
Speaker 4: star hotels, water parks like p D, and I would
Speaker 4: already be spending this money in our head, last place money,
Speaker 4: whatever it is, because that's what Meetnam would get.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't, dude, You're like in a This
Speaker 4: is like a fantasy island place right now that I'm
Speaker 4: looking at. Holy shit, man, it's like, Ddie, I don't
Speaker 4: know if you know how to use your phone, but
Speaker 4: like Google maps, go there and type it in. Yeah,
Speaker 4: type it in, and oh my god, dude, I was
Speaker 4: just looking. I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 3: Are you? Are you solo right now?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you? Uh yeah?
Speaker 3: Are you solo?
Speaker 1: Or no? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm by myself this week. The wife and
Speaker 1: kid are back home. Yeah. No. I mean it's the
Speaker 1: only thing that does talk about this week is there
Speaker 1: is so much stuff and fun and things to do.
Speaker 1: But when you've been sweating your nuts off hot as
Speaker 1: can be out the golf course, when you get done,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, all right, I kind of want
Speaker 1: to go into the ac and have a coke and
Speaker 1: like relax. That's I know.
Speaker 4: I know, dude, you just had I mean, I mean
Speaker 4: whatever tax like for sore, probably you still got you
Speaker 4: still got some bankroll.
Speaker 3: You can go into that casino with some freaking and hit.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: So I have a have a funny story. So at
Speaker 1: AUGUSTA one of the mornings I was warming up, Tiger
Speaker 1: was right next to me warming up, and he was like,
Speaker 1: he's like, man, you're with Bubba's team now, right, And
Speaker 1: I was like yeah. He's like, y'all are going Adelaide right.
Speaker 1: I'm like like yeah, he goes, Man, they got some
Speaker 1: great golf there, blah blah blah. He's like, then, have
Speaker 1: you ever been to Singapore? I was like, man, first time.
Speaker 1: And he was like he was like, man, you need
Speaker 1: to go to the casino at Maria Bay Stands. Marina
Speaker 1: Bay Stands. It's the famous like hotel casino here. Y'all
Speaker 1: seen it for sure. It's like it looks like there's
Speaker 1: like a boat on top of like three towers. Like
Speaker 1: it's this massive casino hotel and the shops and everything.
Speaker 1: So anyways, Tiger was like, first time in Singapore. I
Speaker 1: had to I had to do like this clinic there, right,
Speaker 1: He's like, I got introduced to the guy who basically
Speaker 1: owns like the Disney of Asia, and he had to
Speaker 1: be there for whatever reason. And so he was like,
Speaker 1: this guy is like, you know, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: go get some dinners and I my favorite place here
Speaker 1: in Singapore. It's at this hotel casino. And then do
Speaker 1: you like to gamble all? And Tigers like, you know
Speaker 1: a little bit, and so he said, I want to
Speaker 1: teach you how to play back rock, and and so
Speaker 1: he goes. Tiger's like, you know, go over there, and
Speaker 1: this guy starts out playing million dollar hands, and so
Speaker 1: Tiger's like, you know, this was earlier in my career.
Speaker 1: Is like I quickly learned the difference between being rich
Speaker 1: and being rich rich. I was like on Disney rich.
Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of encouraging to know that Tiger
Speaker 2: watches y'all that much, though, right, because he knew that
Speaker 2: you were going to go to Australia. And then not
Speaker 2: just that he knew that you were going to Australia,
Speaker 2: he knew the next event was in Singapore. And I
Speaker 2: guarant to you if you would ask ninety five percent
Speaker 2: of golf fans the week of the Masters, where the
Speaker 2: live tour was going the next two weeks in a row.
Speaker 2: There's no way they would have been able to tell
Speaker 2: you Australia and then Singapore. So Tiger's paying attention. Tiger's
Speaker 2: paying attention a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yep. That was my takeaway too.
Speaker 4: You got a home game, you got Lift's got a
Speaker 4: home game for you right this year kind of Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in two weeks up in Tulsa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exciting, dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, man, it'll be it'll be good.
Speaker 4: It's you like the tournament host or you're gonna have
Speaker 4: to like do a bunch of ship then hey, I
Speaker 4: would what's up.
Speaker 1: I'll do whatever it takes to make uh, Tulsa a
Speaker 1: staple on on the schedule. That'd be. That'd be blast
Speaker 1: and man as as y'all will see when y'all get
Speaker 1: a chance to come, you'll haven't been to a LIFT
Speaker 1: tournament yet.
Speaker 2: I assume I might come up to Tulsa for that one. Dude,
Speaker 2: that's only an hour flight from from me. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: might come. Might fly the weed Whacker up there.
Speaker 3: He's a pilot, Taylor, He's a pilot Peed.
Speaker 1: He can go wherever.
Speaker 3: He can be in Singapore and no time.
Speaker 2: Just I could be there in like a week, don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's I'm just I'm excited, you know, like
Speaker 1: a like a few things we've talked about where already
Speaker 1: y'all are like, huh, that's not what I thought. Like,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm excited about for you know, my people Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: you know the people that come out to be like, oh, like,
Speaker 1: so this is what this is not everything we've been
Speaker 1: hearing and seeing on TV, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So uh, because it's and it's just it's I haven't
Speaker 1: had you know, cocktails on a golf course with y'all
Speaker 1: in a leisurely round, but I can probably assume what
Speaker 1: it's like. And it's just that's that's almost the vibe
Speaker 1: for the fans out here. It's like there's you know,
Speaker 1: there's music going, there's fan zones. It's I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a blast. Like it's it's a it's an event, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's by No, I'm not comparing it
Speaker 1: to waste management, but like it's similar in a sense
Speaker 1: of like people go for like the spectacle and there
Speaker 1: happens to be golf being played, you know, like that
Speaker 1: the event that Live puts on is just it's a blast.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's just so fan friendly and and so
Speaker 1: that's why I'm excited for Tulsa for you know, Oklahoma's
Speaker 1: to be out there and be like, Okay, so you know,
Speaker 1: they're actually playing golf and this is actually fun and
Speaker 1: we're not out here for eight hours trying to see
Speaker 1: you know, the guys who teed off first and the
Speaker 1: guys who teed off last. Like, we don't have to
Speaker 1: spend a whole day out here to see everyone we
Speaker 1: want to see. So it's it's gonna be fun. It's
Speaker 1: in Live. It's kind of telling me right now. Uh.
Speaker 1: They think it might be the probably the second best
Speaker 1: attended tournament of the season behind Australia. So the Oklahoma
Speaker 1: people are getting behind it, which is cool.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, dude, really really really good man.
Speaker 4: Dude, those Aussie's are ready to party, bro, like they
Speaker 4: were ship was dial, they were ready to I'm glad
Speaker 4: there was a hole in one on that hole like
Speaker 4: that was probably that was probably the hard that was
Speaker 4: probab the hardest pin of the week.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 4: Oh they were the ones that watch whatever. Dude, it
Speaker 4: could be fit. It could be a fifty yard hole
Speaker 4: and somebody might not make you know, a whole out
Speaker 4: whatever during the week. So, like, how how far was that?
Speaker 4: Was it like one sixty or something?
Speaker 1: I think final round? I think was like it was
Speaker 1: like one fifty five final round? Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 1: It was. We were on the opposite side of the
Speaker 1: course and right when it happened, we all like looked
Speaker 1: at each other in the group. We were like, that
Speaker 1: was the hole in one because it was a freaking
Speaker 1: boom of noise. Dude, it was. It was so cool,
Speaker 1: Like I like when it happened, like all of us
Speaker 1: like I got chills, like it was. It was so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, clean all that shit up.
Speaker 1: I mean, Chase told me, because Chase was playing with
Speaker 1: Paul Casey and I don't know who else, but he
Speaker 1: said Paul Casey hadn't hit yet. He said it took
Speaker 1: a good twenty twenty five minutes before Paul could hit
Speaker 1: because of the clean up and just the calm down
Speaker 1: of the rowdiness and and everything. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was wild. It was so much. Have both of
Speaker 1: y'all played waste management I assume or no. I played
Speaker 1: it once. Yeah, So like the build out of that
Speaker 1: hole was obviously not nearly as big, but like when
Speaker 1: I walked onto the tee like almost every day two
Speaker 1: of the three days, like I was walking and giving
Speaker 1: high fives to everyone because like the build out of
Speaker 1: the stands were like they're right on top of you, dude.
Speaker 1: And so while there's not as many people, like it
Speaker 1: was way louder because they're just they're literally like right
Speaker 1: on top of me. And so it was I mean
Speaker 1: when I was talking on the final round, when I
Speaker 1: was talking to my cat to eat about the yardages,
Speaker 1: like I had to get like in his ear and
Speaker 1: like he had to get in my ear to like
Speaker 1: hear what we're saying to each other. Like it was crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the walk up songs, that's a that's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Like I loved it when they did that at the
Speaker 2: Zurich and me and Cody Grimmel played, I don't know
Speaker 2: I can win with that. Like twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: me and Cody Gribble played and we had a stupid
Speaker 2: walk up song and it was like silent whisper caroless whisper
Speaker 2: or some dumb shit, and we were you were just like,
Speaker 2: what's the stupidest song we could think of? But the
Speaker 2: but that that was that's a great idea. But I
Speaker 2: saw also saw. I mean this tournament, y'all's tournament last
Speaker 2: week was the same week as the Zurich and I
Speaker 2: tweeted out, you know, I was, I was happy for
Speaker 2: you and and you know, it was awesome to see
Speaker 2: Chase kept us hold what all this shit that happened?
Speaker 2: Like live Live was obviously the most exciting event of
Speaker 2: the It wasn't close. And then I had these dumb
Speaker 2: asses underneath me on this tweet. They were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: well it's an exhibition event, and I was like, you motherfucker.

Speaker 3: a situation?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, so the league has lived has like a
Speaker 1: handful of reserves each week on sites in case that happens,
Speaker 1: and like each team at the beginning of the week
Speaker 1: basically fills out, like, you know, here's our four guys.
Speaker 1: Like if one guy goes down, like you have the
Speaker 1: options of you know, the four reserves, and you say,
Speaker 1: this is option one, option two, option three, option four, right,
Speaker 1: And so they just have you know, I call them
Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks like it's it's a it's let's just
Speaker 1: say it's a good gig. Uh, not as good as
Speaker 1: you know, maybe actually playing for Live obviously, but if
Speaker 1: let's just say they they do okay being reserves week
Speaker 1: in and week out. So yeah, there's there's a handful
Speaker 1: of guys that Live brings week to week and you know,
Speaker 1: someone goes down, which honestly, this week, if the weather
Speaker 1: gets crazy, someone might go down. The we were taking
Speaker 1: bets over unders of how many caddies we're going to
Speaker 1: go down this week. So yeah, they have a handful
Speaker 1: of reserves that they have on site to fill anybody
Speaker 1: who you know isn't isn't able to play.
Speaker 2: That's a great that was a great question. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So like yeah, so, like if Bubba takes you guys
Speaker 4: out for a lobster dinner in Tulsa and it's from
Speaker 4: a Tulsa tributary and not quite lobster and maybe a
Speaker 4: you know, crawdad of sorts or something like that, who knows,
Speaker 4: everybody gets stick. I was just wondering because it could happen. Man,
Speaker 4: every dude I've been on it, we do it on
Speaker 4: corn Ferry tour nationwide.
Speaker 3: Whatever, we'd be in South America, Panama. Six guys would
Speaker 3: get the ship.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'd be out of there this day.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no doubt. That's funny, said Panama. I uh,
Speaker 1: back on when it was web Panama, I was in
Speaker 1: like eighth place going into the weekend, and I was
Speaker 1: up from like one am until my tea time at
Speaker 1: you know, noon, just shipping my brains out. It was
Speaker 1: it was I got who knows what happened, but it
Speaker 1: was I got me good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's icy down there, dude, it is so dicey. There's
Speaker 2: the cigar bar, there's the well, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's that probably cures everything.
Speaker 1: Cigar bar.
Speaker 2: And then there's the casino. What's the casino?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Miami something, dude of the Veneto.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I were argin at wall. I should probably not even
Speaker 2: say this, but argin that wall, like pupping down the
Speaker 2: escalator four or five times, back and forth. Good for
Speaker 2: you you. Oh god, dude, dude, I remember like twenty
Speaker 2: twelve though, he shit, that was a long time ago.
Speaker 3: I can't remember.
Speaker 4: Somebody fell asleep by the pool after they played the
Speaker 4: first round and they the sun there is so bright.
Speaker 4: I don't know why it is, but it's like extra bright.
Speaker 4: And some dude, Yeah, some dude didn't play bad. He
Speaker 4: shot like even that. The the cut at that course
Speaker 4: I think is always over par, like one or two
Speaker 4: over even whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's far. It's the hardest course in Court Fairy
Speaker 3: all year.
Speaker 4: And this this guy like started to delete a bunch
Speaker 4: of dollar beers and he fell asleep and he got
Speaker 4: sun poisoning. The next day I could like he was
Speaker 4: in freaking hospital, freaking in a month and because he
Speaker 4: just he woke up and it was just like.
Speaker 3: He had a freaking whatever whatever degree burned, twenty seventh
Speaker 3: degree burn, whatever you want to call it. But he
Speaker 3: was struggling. Funny, probably not that much in Singapore, but
Speaker 3: it's hot. It sounds hot.
Speaker 1: Though it is. It is so Trump.
Speaker 2: Trump's a big Trump's a big live golf guy. A
Speaker 2: lot y'all are y'all got y'all had an event at
Speaker 2: his place last year and he was there. Tucker Carlson
Speaker 2: just got fired from Fox News like three days ago.
Speaker 2: Tucker was with Trump when he was when y'all were
Speaker 2: playing at Trump's course. Trump loves to live Tour. I
Speaker 2: don't know how many events y'all have in his courses,
Speaker 2: but I think it's more than one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least.
Speaker 2: But have you met have you met the don while
Speaker 2: you played on the live?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So Trump medminister last year. Second round, I shot
Speaker 1: shot something that was like it was the lowest round
Speaker 1: today by like three, four or five shots something like that.
Speaker 1: It was. It was a really good around and I'm
Speaker 1: doing like the media stuff after and uh, the security
Speaker 1: dude comes up and it's like, hey, you know, President
Speaker 1: Trump would like to chat with you. And my wife
Speaker 1: and daughter were there that week and they were with me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, can I bring them?
Speaker 1: And like yeah, absolutely, come on, And so I went
Speaker 1: and I sat with them and it was like the
Speaker 1: weirdest collection of people you've ever seen. Like I just
Speaker 1: remember sitting there there thinking, I got Tuck Carlson right here,
Speaker 1: I got President Trump here, Bruce Jenner or Laitland Jenner here,
Speaker 1: who's there? The Majorie Green Taylor? Uh yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: she was there and it was like this this just
Speaker 1: collection of people that I remember thinking like I'm at
Speaker 1: a golf tournament like in these like this is this
Speaker 1: is out of this world, like odd, but yeah, we were.
Speaker 1: It was funny. So we're sitting there talking and I
Speaker 1: know the governor of Oklahoma and his brother and their
Speaker 1: golfers and and so Trump goes to me. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, do you know Governor sit And I was
Speaker 1: like yeah, And he's like, do you like him? I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, he's a good one. He's like he's a
Speaker 1: good one. I like him. He was like, where in
Speaker 1: Recoma are you from. I was like Oklahoma City. He's like,
Speaker 1: good people in Oklahoma City. I was like, yeah, Oklaoma's
Speaker 1: were you know, some of the last remaining non crazy
Speaker 1: ones out there. And he's like, he said, like seventy four.
Speaker 1: I was like seventy four or seventy seven. He's like,
Speaker 1: oh you know, I'm like yeah, it was like seventy
Speaker 1: four of seventy seven counties voted for like were called
Speaker 1: for Trump. And we were the first state to call
Speaker 1: for Trump back in twenty twenty. And I was like,
Speaker 1: we're the first state to call for you know, miss President.
Speaker 1: And he's like, good people in Oklahoma. It was it
Speaker 1: was it was the most you know, Trump moment ever.
Speaker 1: And then the next day so that was the second
Speaker 1: round then the final round. Maybe the craziest you know
Speaker 1: moment UH of the year for me and for sure
Speaker 1: of the year, maybe of my professional career up to
Speaker 1: that point was I was in UH. I was either
Speaker 1: tied for the lead or in second place going to
Speaker 1: the final round, and I'm about to tee off and
Speaker 1: there's a you know, grand stand behind the first screen,
Speaker 1: and as they like say my name and I'm you know,
Speaker 1: taking a cup of practice wings, the crowd just goes nuts.
Speaker 1: And then I was here, you know, then cheering for
Speaker 1: Trump and and obviously he had started walking up and
Speaker 1: I'm about tee off like for the final round, final group,
Speaker 1: and he's just walking up, you know, to the tee
Speaker 1: and he's waving everyone. And he comes up and like
Speaker 1: puts his arms like hands on my shoulders and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, go get him today. And it was just
Speaker 1: it was such a cool, like refreshing moment for golf
Speaker 1: where it's like like, guys, you know, obviously I'm trying
Speaker 1: to compete when we're trying to win, but like it's
Speaker 1: like some of my buddies stay back home. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: this is it's it's just golf. It's not like this
Speaker 1: is heart surgery. It's not that serious, you know. And
Speaker 1: so it was one of those moments where I'm sure
Speaker 1: some players would have been like, you know, because you're
Speaker 1: playing for four million bucks. I mean, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's crazy money. It's crazy important. But like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm about tee off and he comes up and you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've actually got a couple of cool pictures because
Speaker 1: there's some photographers stuff there. There's it's one of those
Speaker 1: pictures like I'll never forget is President Trump as I'm
Speaker 1: about tee off on his golf course with a tournament
Speaker 1: final round, final group and he's got his you know,
Speaker 1: hands on my shoulders like telling me good luck, and
Speaker 1: I just it was crazy. It was crazy. That's cool.
Speaker 2: What's what's the biggest difference. What's the biggest difference the
Speaker 2: most glaring difference. Obviously the money great ever, But other
Speaker 2: than the money, what's the biggest difference that you've noticed
Speaker 2: between your time on the PGA Tour and your two
Speaker 2: years on Live.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: Obviously you're getting paid well now you're getting paid fairly,
Speaker 2: like a fair fair amount, right.
Speaker 1: So the something that people something people think about and
Speaker 1: y'all would appreciate, is like the tournament prep so like,
Speaker 1: at least for me, like my Mondays through Wednesdays on
Speaker 1: tour used to be totally predicated upon like practice, Like
Speaker 1: when I'm gonna go out and play practice round, Like
Speaker 1: you know what time I'm gonna get out there, because
Speaker 1: I don't want to go play a nine whole practice
Speaker 1: round that's going to take three hours, Like, so I'm
Speaker 1: getting there early in the morning, you know, Mondays Tuesdays,
Speaker 1: so I can get my practice a round done and
Speaker 1: like get out of there kind of thing. Well, when
Speaker 1: there's one hundred and fifty six guys they're trying to
Speaker 1: prep for a tournament, versus when there's forty eight guys
Speaker 1: trying to prep for a tournament, like it is night
Speaker 1: and day different for like just your pre tournament schedule,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, Like I don't have to like
Speaker 1: plan everything around when I need to get out to
Speaker 1: the course so that I'm not stuck out there for
Speaker 1: a three and a half hour nine hole practice round.
Speaker 1: The I don't think it's talked about enough, like the
Speaker 1: leveling of playing field when we're all playing the course
Speaker 1: at the same time, so like, for example, last year
Speaker 1: at the BJA Championship at Southern Hills, I had the
Speaker 1: late early wave. So Friday morning, I'm playing and I
Speaker 1: played by nuts Off. I shaw like seventy one and
Speaker 1: it was for my wave. I was second in my wave,
Speaker 1: so only one dude had beat me in my wave.
Speaker 1: I finished the first two days when I made the cut,
Speaker 1: I think I was in like nineteen or twentieth place.
Speaker 1: So like the day that I Friday, when I shot
Speaker 1: seventy one or whatever it was, I bawled. Bubba went
Speaker 1: that afternoon and the weather completely turned, the wind stopped,
Speaker 1: it got warm. Bubba win shot like sixty three or
Speaker 1: something like that, and there was multiple guys that like
Speaker 1: sixty five, sixty six and like that. There wasn't sixty
Speaker 1: five was not happening when I played. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just feel like when it's when we're playing for
Speaker 1: this much money, when it's this you know, meaningful, when
Speaker 1: it's when it's that the outcome is going to be
Speaker 1: that impactful on us and our teams and everything, it's like,
Speaker 1: I just people may feel differently. I just I think
Speaker 1: it's a bs when you know I can go play great,
Speaker 1: but I have bad weather, you can go play great
Speaker 1: and have good weather, and like you're ahead of the ballgame.
Speaker 1: Because that like that's like saying to you know, like
Speaker 1: a football team, know, like hey, you're you're going to
Speaker 1: play going east, you know all game. We're not going
Speaker 1: to switch fields. We're not going to turn it around.
Speaker 1: And one team is going into the wind you know,
Speaker 1: all game and it's like hold on second, So they're
Speaker 1: having to go into the wind all game. And then
Speaker 1: this other team can kick sixty yard field goals, but
Speaker 1: we can only kick forty of our field goals. And
Speaker 1: so I think it's a huge game changer when we're
Speaker 1: all playing on the same conditions. We all have the
Speaker 1: same greens, we all have the same weather, Like truly,
Speaker 1: the cream is going to rise, and that that I
Speaker 1: think is a huge topic of discussion. That isn't you know,
Speaker 1: the discussed enough when comparing the differences between the you know,
Speaker 1: the two products.
Speaker 3: No, dude, I think you're spot on.
Speaker 4: Man, Like the Devil's Advocate guy would be like over
Speaker 4: a year on the PGA tour, it averages out bad way,
Speaker 4: good way blah blah blah. But like if it hits
Speaker 4: on the wrong event like your host man, like if
Speaker 4: it hits in the Masters, like the thing that comes
Speaker 4: to mind. I mean, all we've all played a deal
Speaker 4: where you have good way of bad wave like whatever,
Speaker 4: but sometimes it's catastrophic, like I remember the play like
Speaker 4: the players last year, yep, there were guys hitting like
Speaker 4: punch six irons on the seventeen and then there were
Speaker 4: dudes hitting gap wedge. Yeah, if you were in the
Speaker 4: punch six iron, I think our guy Kids, he's an
Speaker 4: FTP guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think our guy Kids was like the only guy
Speaker 4: to maybe top ten, and I think there was only like,
Speaker 4: you know, sixteen out of the top twenty, where the
Speaker 4: other waves guys like Backdoor maybe a top ten or whatever.
Speaker 4: But yeah, can you imagine having to hit a punch
Speaker 4: six iron into seventeen at Sawgrass compared to like a
Speaker 4: gap wetch no wind And if that's Masters or that's
Speaker 4: the US, open your screw.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: For example, at Augusta on the Sunday, now we had
Speaker 1: foot t's and so you know it wasn't just a
Speaker 1: normal Sunday at Augusta. But I hit driver four iron
Speaker 1: like as flush as I could hit drivers flush as
Speaker 1: I could hit four iron into eighteen and I teed
Speaker 1: off on the back first. And so as the day
Speaker 1: gets gets on, you know, we're watching a leaderboard, and
Speaker 1: you know, we're watching obviously specifically like Phil and Speak
Speaker 1: like what they're doing on Sunday. We're like, this is
Speaker 1: incredible what they're doing. And we're like, you know, we're
Speaker 1: rooting for the live guys to play well, obviously to
Speaker 1: help combat all the bullshit narratives that are out there,
Speaker 1: to show everyone that we still played golf in all
Speaker 1: the crap. But we're watching it, me and my caddie
Speaker 1: and I was actually playing with Thomas Peters, my teammate
Speaker 1: Sunday at Augusta, which was crazy cool. But we were
Speaker 1: watching Phil, you know, basically have the greatest round of
Speaker 1: the day. And he gets eighteen and we're just like,
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm hitting driver for iron flush into eighteen,
Speaker 1: Phil is not going to be hitting an iron into it, like,
Speaker 1: and we're like wanting him to burdy out and he
Speaker 1: like birdie fifteen sixteen, seventeen or something like that, and
Speaker 1: we're like, man, if he could just somehow get to nine,
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be a leader in the clubhouse. He's
Speaker 1: got it. There's a little legit chance that he could
Speaker 1: be in the thicket things, and but the win it died,
Speaker 1: like the win had completely died at that point in
Speaker 1: time where I hit plus driver plus four iron, he
Speaker 1: hit driver like six or seven iron into it or
Speaker 1: something like that. You know, it's and it's just yeah,
Speaker 1: like you said, there's there's Yes, I understand the whole
Speaker 1: like optimistic mentality of saying it's going to equal out
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. But for example, at
Speaker 1: the pg Championship last year, I had the terrible wave
Speaker 1: at the Players, I had a terrible wave, Like I.
Speaker 1: You could have the good wave at the Byron, at
Speaker 1: the Zurich, at you know, the vals Bar at John Deere.
Speaker 1: You could have the good wave at eight tournaments, but
Speaker 1: the bad wave two tournaments and you're screwed. Like that's
Speaker 1: that's a bad deal. Like I'd rather have the good
Speaker 1: wave at the PGA and the Players and the bad
Speaker 1: wave at eight other you know events, because of the
Speaker 1: type of tournaments those are right, And so yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I think, like I said, I think us all
Speaker 1: playing on the same weather conditions, the same green conditions
Speaker 1: as y'all know, you know, especially on certain greens when
Speaker 1: you're playing in the morning, it's a huge advantage. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's how often have we seen guys that you know,
Speaker 1: on Sunday go out early before the wind comes in,
Speaker 1: and when they have good greens and they go light
Speaker 1: it up, and then an afternoon after the greens have
Speaker 1: been showed up and a little bit of wind comes in,
Speaker 1: you know, they you know, the guy starts in fiftieth
Speaker 1: and bounces up to twelfth, which is, you know, great,
Speaker 1: but it's also like it's not really reflective of the
Speaker 1: true quality of golf because he had an advantage, you know.
Speaker 1: And so I think eliminating the advantage and making everything
Speaker 1: a level playing field is I think every player agrees
Speaker 1: with it too, Like that's that's the way to do it,
Speaker 1: you know. It just makes it level for everyone and
Speaker 1: we're gonna really see who's playing the best golf. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he thinks.
Speaker 4: Do you ever get in the goat the goat, the
Speaker 4: goat wave, the double morning wave the first two days
Speaker 4: corn Faery Tour. It happen all the time, like in
Speaker 4: Springfield and the Brest the old double morning wave.
Speaker 2: Yeah seven yeah, Yeah, it was like.
Speaker 4: We get the restart like there'd be weather and you restart,
Speaker 4: you like you'd play the seven thirty, and then there'd
Speaker 4: be ship weather, and they play all day long and
Speaker 4: they barely finish, and they barely finish, and then you
Speaker 4: wouldn't play again till Saturday, and you got the morning
Speaker 4: wave again.
Speaker 3: You got the old double morning double game.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But the thing about the shotgun Shark, thegun Shark Shark,
Speaker 2: the shotgun sharp is that you can only have seventy
Speaker 2: five guys, right, So you can't ever have one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty six dudes in attorney. You can't because they
Speaker 2: can't play at the same time. So at the maxim
Speaker 2: at the maximum, I mean absolute maximum, we're talking seventy
Speaker 2: dudes five maybe can play in one route. So it
Speaker 2: would never work for the PGA Tour. It just couldn't.
Speaker 2: They could never do it because there's too many members.
Speaker 2: So I think that's why they're part of the reason obviously.
Speaker 2: I mean they've added a ton of money. They found
Speaker 2: it under some magical unicorn tree that they had this
Speaker 2: whole time, and they've just dug it out of the grass,
Speaker 2: right that they didn't want to give to us when
Speaker 2: we were on it, And so now they've got all
Speaker 2: this money all of a sudden, but they still have
Speaker 2: this serious issue of two tours, right, because you have
Speaker 2: you have the PGA Tour elites in this elite schedule,
Speaker 2: and then you have the B League PGA Tour, which
Speaker 2: is the Zerit Classic and the Birah Neilson and the
Speaker 2: Colonial and like the B leagues that aren't the elite events.
Speaker 2: And then you have the corn Fairy Tour. So really
Speaker 2: you have three separate tours here of guys that have
Speaker 2: really no idea where they are at anytime. You have
Speaker 2: the elites that are playing for all the money, and
Speaker 2: then you have the B League guys and they're not
Speaker 2: really sure if they're on the PGA Tour or not,
Speaker 2: and then you have the Corn Fairy guys. So it's
Speaker 2: I love what the Live is done. I love what
Speaker 2: the Live Tour has done to challenge the PGA Tour.
Speaker 2: And we've said this from day one on this pod,
Speaker 2: like we have loved the competition because what is what
Speaker 2: makes America better, what makes these people in the scripture better,
Speaker 2: is competition. It just has That's how you get better, right,
Speaker 2: is have to and they have headed the competition legit competition. Ever,
Speaker 2: So here we are. It's twenty twenty three. Lives thriving.
Speaker 2: The PGA Tour is thriving as well. I mean they're
Speaker 2: both thriving, and that's good for golf. You can like
Speaker 2: the PGA Tour, you can like live, you can watch
Speaker 2: it all. You don't have to pick a damn side.
Speaker 2: Like we've said this from day one. You don't have
Speaker 2: to pick one. You can watch them all. Yeah, you've
Speaker 2: got friends on all of them. I've got friends on
Speaker 2: all of them. What do you think for? And and
Speaker 2: like the last thing, last thing before I know, you
Speaker 2: got like you got a pro am to do and
Speaker 2: all that shit. Today it's thirteen hours ahead and.
Speaker 1: See, yeah, no we got time. You're good.
Speaker 2: So the last thing I want to I want to
Speaker 2: ask you though, is like, do you see more top
Speaker 2: guys going to live?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: You know that's a good question. I don't currently because
Speaker 1: like you talked about, like they're the tour has basically
Speaker 1: you know, lived two point zero their tour in a
Speaker 1: sense from the money perspective, the scheduling perspective, like they've
Speaker 1: they've done that, and so you know, unless a player
Speaker 1: gets an outrageous amount of upfront money, which you know
Speaker 1: that I think I would predict that's that's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen except for maybe a couple you know, outlier players
Speaker 1: Like I don't foresee that happening anytime soon, you know,
Speaker 1: unless Live comes out and says, you know what we're
Speaker 1: gonna play for forty million dollar versus or you know
Speaker 1: something like that, right that that that I think would
Speaker 1: be the only uh, unless Live changes that the tour
Speaker 1: has gotten so good from a financial perspective for those
Speaker 1: elite guys now that there's not much reason to So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't foresee that happening. I Yeah, I don't forget
Speaker 1: to see that happening unless given the circumstances of everything
Speaker 1: as they are right now, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically, unless y'all start playing forty million dollars,
Speaker 2: probably gonna stay the way is.
Speaker 1: That's that's what I would I would think. One thing
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I was talking with a couple players about
Speaker 1: this on both sides. You know, I think I think
Speaker 1: golf is especially with this specific situation, like I think
Speaker 1: it's in such a unique place and time where I
Speaker 1: think the two sides do and Live could figure out
Speaker 1: if they could figure out how to coexist in a
Speaker 1: friendly way. I think it would be really cool and
Speaker 1: you can do some really cool stuff because, like right now,
Speaker 1: people understand and because of the masters, like people are
Speaker 1: able to see through the BS narratives of you know what,
Speaker 1: these guys actually they're still good players. There are actually
Speaker 1: some elite players in the world. I mean, there was
Speaker 1: seventeen live guys that played AUGUSTA. Twelve made the three
Speaker 1: in the top five or whatever. You know, there's no
Speaker 1: denying the quality of golf in the you know how
Speaker 1: world class the players are over here. You know, the
Speaker 1: ratings showed when you bring the two sides together at
Speaker 1: a major, like, you know, everyone tunes in, everyone wants
Speaker 1: to see because the majors currently are the only tournaments
Speaker 1: in the world where the best of the best really
Speaker 1: come together. You know, I wonder if there's a way that,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple times a year on the PGA Tour,
Speaker 1: they say, you know what, we're gonna have ten live guys.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the top ten guys from live come
Speaker 1: and play in. The players come and play in you know,
Speaker 1: riv come play in you know, four or five tournaments,
Speaker 1: and then conversely, like there's still room for more teams
Speaker 1: within live. You know what if one of the teams
Speaker 1: was comprised of one of the teams was the PGA
Speaker 1: Tour team where each week the PJ Tour sent four
Speaker 1: dudes to come and play for a team and the
Speaker 1: live tournaments, and like, you know, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's just there's there's ways right now that I think
Speaker 1: the two sides could somehow come together, but it's still
Speaker 1: be like a friendly rivalry like rivalry like I've I've
Speaker 1: continued to compare it to basically pre Tiger Woods European Tour,
Speaker 1: like the European Tour and the PGA Tour basically pre
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods was a very similar situation to what you know,
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour and Live is right now from a
Speaker 1: sense of a lot of great players, you know, we're
Speaker 1: on European Tour back in the nineties, like it was,
Speaker 1: you know, arguable who had the better tour. But once
Speaker 1: Tiger came, once all the money came, uh, everyone started
Speaker 1: coming to the PGA Tour, right. The European Tour and
Speaker 1: PJA Tour co existed for a long long time before
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and they had a friendly rivalry. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's part of why the Ryder Cup is what it
Speaker 1: is is because of that friendly rivalry. So I think
Speaker 1: there's a way that the two sides can come together
Speaker 1: and it still be a rivalry. I mean, there's been
Speaker 1: so much chaos in the media over the last year
Speaker 1: that's it's going to It's created this like cool rivalry
Speaker 1: and it's what makes sports great, Like it's why like
Speaker 1: I hate Texas, Like I grew up an Ou fan
Speaker 1: and I went to Oklahoma State and I hate Texas, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's you need passion, you need like rivalries, You
Speaker 1: need a little bit of bad blood in sports to
Speaker 1: make it great. And right now we're at a cool
Speaker 1: tipping point where we have a good amount of bad
Speaker 1: blood within the fans and within the media and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like if the two sides could figure out how to
Speaker 1: utilize this, like golf could boom like boom boom, and
Speaker 1: it's in a good place that if we can somehow,
Speaker 1: like I said, figure this out together, like it would
Speaker 1: be everyone would win. Even the executives of the establishment
Speaker 1: that are not winning right now, they could even win.
Speaker 1: But it would just more and more importantly, like the
Speaker 1: fans would get what do the fans want? Like they
Speaker 1: want the best of the best, and they want a
Speaker 1: little bit of this rivalry. Like it's at a time
Speaker 1: a point right now that I think you could do
Speaker 1: some really cool stuff.
Speaker 4: No, for sure, Pete, what's that beer that we like
Speaker 4: in Texas called Oklahoma Sucks. That's some good shit, Like
Speaker 4: you'll have shit out of that, bro, I mean, honestly, dude,
Speaker 4: like the U and the United States has been committing
Speaker 4: a straight up first degree felony third second, first, second,
Speaker 4: and third against the internationals last few years.
Speaker 1: Just play the just have the live, just have the.
Speaker 4: Live versus the PGA to are for freaking the President's Cup.
Speaker 4: But no, you're right, dude. I mean like as a
Speaker 4: golf fan, if I'm a casual golf fan, I want
Speaker 4: to watch the best guys playing Like there's no way
Speaker 4: that And that's that's the misconception is people people think
Speaker 4: there's like this like hid and hate for for live.
Speaker 1: There's really not.
Speaker 4: Like I went, I was at the Masters this year
Speaker 4: on the weekend, Like dude, people were cheering on everybody
Speaker 4: like Kopka and freaking rom obviously and Phil Like Phil,
Speaker 4: People's people love Phil.
Speaker 3: Phil's been around forever. Like, people just want to watch
Speaker 3: good golf.
Speaker 4: But if you're a fan sitting on home, like on
Speaker 4: your ass, drinking of beer on the couch, you want
Speaker 4: to watch the best guys like play against each other.
Speaker 3: Right, So right, dude, it's the same deal. And if
Speaker 3: that only happens like ten times a year, that's fine.
Speaker 3: That's enough.
Speaker 1: That's enough.
Speaker 4: Man. There's there's high quality golf in between, for sure,
Speaker 4: there is. Yeah, but like if you know it's happening
Speaker 4: during those times like perfect, like that's.
Speaker 3: That's how you got to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well we've kept him long enough. It's
Speaker 2: Taylor view right in Singapore. He's in Singapore, he's thirteen
Speaker 2: hours ahead, and he's gonna go try to win back
Speaker 2: to back live events. Maybe they'll shoot another sixty two
