Show Transcript

1
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:07,859
Welcome back everybody to Poll Hook Golf, the
podcast.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,439
I'm your host, Matt Cook.

3
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:14,160
Tonight, we've got Butsey in studio, and we
have a great show for all of you.

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,135
So we've got the best from Pro Golf over the
past week.

5
00:00:18,135 --> 00:00:18,614
Alright.

6
00:00:18,614 --> 00:00:24,135
That's gonna include the Solheim Cup, the good
old Irish Open, the Pro Court Championship, and

7
00:00:24,135 --> 00:00:25,195
LIV Golf Chicago.

8
00:00:25,975 --> 00:00:31,269
It's gonna be absolutely a great show tonight
if I don't say so myself.

9
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:33,369
And then we've got the Suwanee style segment.

10
00:00:33,829 --> 00:00:35,049
We got a good one there.

11
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:37,429
Really good one on the Suwanee style segment.

12
00:00:37,429 --> 00:00:39,829
So make sure to be tuning in around there.

13
00:00:39,829 --> 00:00:44,090
And then we've got the upcoming BMW PGA
Championship at Wentworth.

14
00:00:44,565 --> 00:00:48,024
That's, over there in good old the UK, my
friend.

15
00:00:48,325 --> 00:00:53,284
So a lot of guys are over there this week
because there is no PGA Tour event this week.

16
00:00:53,284 --> 00:00:57,820
And then we got the PGA Tour and PIF
negotiation update for all of you.

17
00:00:57,820 --> 00:01:00,539
I know everybody's dying over that whole
ordeal.

18
00:01:00,539 --> 00:01:03,659
So, we will provide some insights there.

19
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:05,739
I was on the phone nonstop once again.

20
00:01:05,739 --> 00:01:13,254
Once I found out last week after the show that
they were doing a meeting on 911 in New York

21
00:01:13,254 --> 00:01:14,394
City with the Saudis.

22
00:01:15,174 --> 00:01:17,894
I saw that of the notes.

23
00:01:17,894 --> 00:01:19,655
That's one thing that caught my eye and I was

24
00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:20,854
like, oh, my

25
00:01:21,265 --> 00:01:21,765
way.

26
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:23,240
No way.

27
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:23,939
Oh, man.

28
00:01:23,939 --> 00:01:25,400
We'll be talking about that.

29
00:01:25,459 --> 00:01:30,260
Now we do wanna give a quick shout out to our
sponsor, Swanee's Golf, which by the way,

30
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:35,780
folks, on the pole hook golf page on Instagram,
there is a giveaway that is going on for the

31
00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:37,724

32
00:01:37,885 --> 00:01:41,325
Telling you right now, I've been using it
nonstop for a couple of weeks.

33
00:01:41,325 --> 00:01:43,805
I absolutely love it since they sent it out.

34
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:48,284
And, originally, I was going to give away mine,
and then I'm like, hang on a second.

35
00:01:48,284 --> 00:01:49,484

Let's dive right in because we've got the the
bat the bros titties.

47
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:27,650
The best from Pro Golf last week.

48
00:02:27,789 --> 00:02:33,870
First of all, did the women have the best golf
product out there of all the professional golf

49
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:35,550
products this past week?

50
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:37,090
I have to say yes.

51
00:02:37,594 --> 00:02:40,094
I thoroughly enjoyed the is the Solheim.

52
00:02:40,155 --> 00:02:40,474
Right?

53
00:02:40,474 --> 00:02:41,215
The Solheim

54
00:02:41,354 --> 00:02:41,834
Cup.

55
00:02:41,834 --> 00:02:41,954
Yeah.

56
00:02:42,074 --> 00:02:43,194
Quite a bit of that.

57
00:02:43,194 --> 00:02:44,394
And, yeah.

58
00:02:44,394 --> 00:02:45,514
I think I heard it even.

59
00:02:45,514 --> 00:02:48,555
Was it a, b, c where the announcer slipped up?

60
00:02:48,555 --> 00:02:50,700
Somebody made hit a really good shot.

61
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:51,900
And they're like, I just love this.

62
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:52,540
She's fired up.

63
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:54,480
She's just fucking pumped right now.

64
00:02:54,939 --> 00:02:55,580
I just sleep

65
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:56,460
it or nothing.

66
00:02:56,460 --> 00:02:56,939
Oh, really?

67
00:02:56,939 --> 00:02:57,180
Yeah.

68
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:57,980
Unless that was AI.

69
00:02:57,980 --> 00:02:58,860
It could have been AI.

70
00:02:58,860 --> 00:02:59,340
Oh, man.

71
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:00,219
I love that.

72
00:03:00,219 --> 00:03:00,540
Yeah.

73
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:04,540
Like, my buddy said it to me, there was like a
dude filming it on TV, laughing.

74
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:05,599
He say, what?

75
00:03:05,794 --> 00:03:07,314
Like, what did you say?

76
00:03:07,314 --> 00:03:09,074
They they, you know, got that.

77
00:03:09,074 --> 00:03:10,534
They had the hoorah going.

78
00:03:10,594 --> 00:03:10,675
Yeah.

79
00:03:10,675 --> 00:03:13,334
But there was some fucking camaraderie.

80
00:03:13,555 --> 00:03:19,340
I'm telling you what, I flipped I flipped it on
just, like, passing through, checking out what

81
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:21,599
what golf was on this weekend on TV.

82
00:03:22,139 --> 00:03:25,439
And sure enough, I got locked in, and I'm like,
holy shit.

83
00:03:25,579 --> 00:03:28,780
I was like and I had 2 TVs up.

84
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:30,539
I had the Solheim Cup.

85
00:03:30,539 --> 00:03:36,614
I had LIV Golf Chicago, and then I had some
Procore championship going on as well on the

86
00:03:36,614 --> 00:03:37,114
monitor.

87
00:03:37,334 --> 00:03:42,614
And I'm watching all 3, and I'm like, man, the
best golf product here is the women's Solheim

88
00:03:42,614 --> 00:03:42,935
Cup.

89
00:03:42,935 --> 00:03:44,215
You were the most locked into that.

90
00:03:44,215 --> 00:03:45,114
It was fantastic.

91
00:03:45,254 --> 00:03:45,754
Yeah.

92
00:03:45,974 --> 00:03:46,134
Yeah.

93
00:03:46,134 --> 00:03:47,939
And so the announcers were great.

94
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:49,719
Like, the energy was great.

95
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:56,659
And it kind of begs the question, was it the
actual golf itself, or was it the fact that it

96
00:03:56,659 --> 00:04:00,099
was 2 teams, 2 countries going head to head?

97
00:04:00,099 --> 00:04:03,905
Now a lot of people are gonna say that it's
because it was 2 countries.

98
00:04:03,905 --> 00:04:09,104
Everybody's gonna get behind their specific
country and really get behind it and

99
00:04:09,104 --> 00:04:09,604
everything.

100
00:04:09,745 --> 00:04:15,419
I didn't really feel the USA versus Europe as
much as I do on a President's Cup or Ryder Cup,

101
00:04:15,419 --> 00:04:19,259
but I just love the match play, and I love
seeing the team aspect.

102
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:20,060
That's true.

103
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,740
But, yeah, I I second that.

104
00:04:21,740 --> 00:04:22,959
They it was fiery.

105
00:04:23,419 --> 00:04:25,519
The camaraderie was was real.

106
00:04:25,579 --> 00:04:26,060
Yeah.

107
00:04:26,060 --> 00:04:27,339
Like, they were fired up.

108
00:04:27,339 --> 00:04:27,740
I know.

109
00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:32,464
And some dude, the golf, like, some
unbelievable golf being played.

110
00:04:32,464 --> 00:04:33,584
I completely agree.

111
00:04:33,584 --> 00:04:34,724
And here's the thing.

112
00:04:34,784 --> 00:04:40,485
I actually for the first time ever, Flushing at
golf, which I've never really agreed with that

113
00:04:40,625 --> 00:04:43,319
social media account in much of what they say.

114
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:45,819
Feel like a lot of what they do is live golf
propaganda.

115
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,319
But this one in particular actually agreed with
where they they commented to live golf when

116
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:58,914
live golf was like, hey, this our team
championship coming up, and we've got the team

117
00:04:58,914 --> 00:04:59,975
matches and everything.

118
00:05:00,274 --> 00:05:07,414
Like, I forget what the question was, but this
account basically said, hey, we want more team

119
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:12,949
match style type of golf like what you're doing
in the team championship.

120
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:18,470
We want that more throughout the year rather
than these individual championships with this

121
00:05:18,529 --> 00:05:20,689
team element or aspect to it.

122
00:05:20,689 --> 00:05:23,504
What's the tour event that's a stable for what?

123
00:05:23,504 --> 00:05:23,904
Oh, gosh.

124
00:05:23,904 --> 00:05:24,884
Is that the Barracudin?

125
00:05:25,425 --> 00:05:26,625
It's something like that.

126
00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:27,584
Get rid of that.

127
00:05:27,584 --> 00:05:28,785
Make that a team of it.

128
00:05:28,785 --> 00:05:33,024
Like, get rid of all those other if you're
gonna have another format event, make it team

129
00:05:33,024 --> 00:05:33,345
golf.

130
00:05:33,345 --> 00:05:40,849
Well, I'm kinda thinking where I'm going with
this is I would love to see teams like LIV Golf

131
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:43,009
or even the LIV Golf format.

132
00:05:43,229 --> 00:05:46,509
Instead of adding more teams, add more players
to each team.

133
00:05:46,509 --> 00:05:51,865
And let's each week have them go head to head
in a match play style setup over 3 days, and

134
00:05:51,865 --> 00:05:53,084
you have a point system.

135
00:05:53,224 --> 00:05:57,245
So then at the end of the season so all the
teams play, but they're playing head to head.

136
00:05:57,305 --> 00:05:58,584
They're playing against another team.

137
00:05:58,584 --> 00:06:02,185
How do you create, like, camaraderie as a
viewer, though, where you're like, yeah.

138
00:06:02,185 --> 00:06:04,110
I'm on board with that side.

139
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:05,789
It's gonna take a minute.

140
00:06:05,789 --> 00:06:06,509
You know what I mean?

141
00:06:06,509 --> 00:06:06,750
Yeah.

142
00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:07,550
Like, yeah.

143
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:12,669
I mean, you gotta get behind the team aspect,
but it's kinda and we've talked about this

144
00:06:12,669 --> 00:06:13,149
before.

145
00:06:13,149 --> 00:06:18,610
We're pretty big proponents of going more team
versus individual.

146
00:06:19,194 --> 00:06:22,415
Like, LIV Golf right now to me is still too
individualistic.

147
00:06:23,355 --> 00:06:23,855
Yeah.

148
00:06:24,314 --> 00:06:24,814
Yeah.

149
00:06:24,875 --> 00:06:28,955
Well, and then the, you know, there's all the
anti levers that that hate the team aspect, but

150
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:32,879
we if you dig way back to when we first started
this, they never played team golf.

151
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:34,399
Like, they don't understand Yeah.

152
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:37,519
What that's about and and why that's so much
fucking fun.

153
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:39,360
So, yeah, I'm with you, man.

154
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,419
It would be really cool, and I like the idea of
expanding.

155
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:43,120
Yeah.

156
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,714
It would just be think about it.

157
00:06:44,714 --> 00:06:47,394
If you had 6 to 12 players Yeah.

158
00:06:47,514 --> 00:06:50,034
On each team, let's say let's just say you've
got in line.

159
00:06:50,154 --> 00:06:55,375
You got 12 players in each team, not every
person's gonna play in every single match.

160
00:06:55,435 --> 00:06:55,834
Mhmm.

161
00:06:55,834 --> 00:07:00,039
But you're going head to head each and every
week against another team.

162
00:07:00,039 --> 00:07:01,660
So now you're building rivalries.

163
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:07,659
You're actually seeing Bryson DeChambeau going
up against Brooks Koepka, for instance.

164
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:14,035
Like, you actually get that, aspect to it, and
then you're gonna get more camaraderie amongst

165
00:07:14,035 --> 00:07:14,435
the team.

166
00:07:14,435 --> 00:07:15,975
Like, they already team wise.

167
00:07:16,035 --> 00:07:19,314
There's a lot of camaraderie amongst the teams
just because they like each other.

168
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:19,475
Yeah.

169
00:07:19,475 --> 00:07:22,834
Because they've kinda hand selected each other
to be on each other's teams.

170
00:07:22,834 --> 00:07:23,314
Mhmm.

171
00:07:23,314 --> 00:07:29,430
But this kinda takes it to that next level to
where, like, you actually are playing a match

172
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:29,750
play.

173
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:33,990
Like, it it is gonna be a little bit like this
team championship, but even the team

174
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:40,975
championship, I still feel like that piece is
missing to it, to a degree where it is just

175
00:07:40,975 --> 00:07:42,975
straight up head to head the entire time.

176
00:07:42,975 --> 00:07:43,454
Yeah.

177
00:07:43,454 --> 00:07:44,194
I agree.

178
00:07:44,654 --> 00:07:45,214
So For sure.

179
00:07:45,214 --> 00:07:48,415
And I would like to see some different formats,
and they're kinda like Ryder Cup style.

180
00:07:48,415 --> 00:07:50,814
The only one I don't really care for is
alternate shot.

181
00:07:50,814 --> 00:07:51,055
But if

182
00:07:51,055 --> 00:07:57,149
you do like a best ball match play, you do a I
don't know.

183
00:07:57,149 --> 00:07:59,790
I mean, or and then just a straight up match
play, I guess.

184
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:00,290
Shambles.

185
00:08:00,509 --> 00:08:01,230
A shamble.

186
00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:02,269
I should do a shamble.

187
00:08:02,269 --> 00:08:03,470
Dude, shamble would be dope.

188
00:08:03,470 --> 00:08:04,269
That'd be pretty cool.

189
00:08:04,269 --> 00:08:04,509
Yeah.

190
00:08:04,509 --> 00:08:05,089
Oh, yeah.

191
00:08:05,470 --> 00:08:05,970
Yeah.

192
00:08:06,974 --> 00:08:07,474
Yeah.

193
00:08:07,694 --> 00:08:09,055
One different style each day.

194
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:10,194
Bryson would win.

195
00:08:10,334 --> 00:08:12,014
His team would win every time.

196
00:08:12,014 --> 00:08:14,014
They take his tee shot and they'd plan from
there.

197
00:08:14,014 --> 00:08:14,735
That's a shamble.

198
00:08:14,735 --> 00:08:15,055
Right?

199
00:08:15,055 --> 00:08:15,294
Yeah.

200
00:08:15,294 --> 00:08:15,935
That's a shamble.

201
00:08:15,935 --> 00:08:16,594
Be unfair.

202
00:08:16,814 --> 00:08:18,115
I think that would be awesome.

203
00:08:18,175 --> 00:08:18,959
I really do.

204
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:26,240
Now with that said, going back to the Solheim
Cup, we've got the US wins the cup.

205
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:26,560
K?

206
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,379
So they take it home, and the MVP of this
entire thing was Rosang.

207
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,684
Rosang did not lose a single match she was in.

208
00:08:35,684 --> 00:08:37,625
So she played in 4 out of the 5 matches.

209
00:08:38,164 --> 00:08:42,504
And get this, her first match with a teammate,
they go 32.

210
00:08:43,605 --> 00:08:47,865
Then she ups the ante a little bit and goes 54
in her next match.

211
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:52,190
Then 6 and 4, and then in the singles goes 6
and 4.

212
00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:53,629
Just dusting people.

213
00:08:53,629 --> 00:08:54,129
Dominating.

214
00:08:54,669 --> 00:09:01,790
Like, I don't know if we're getting enough
rosang right now because she kinda is the Tiger

215
00:09:01,790 --> 00:09:07,144
Woods of the women's game and just came out as
a rookie on the LPGA tour.

216
00:09:07,144 --> 00:09:07,785
Like, I get it.

217
00:09:07,785 --> 00:09:09,945
Neli Korda is the number one golfer in the
world.

218
00:09:09,945 --> 00:09:14,665
She's doing some really magical special things
out there, but Roseng is the one to be, like,

219
00:09:14,665 --> 00:09:15,465
keeping an eye on.

220
00:09:15,465 --> 00:09:18,024
You think she just listens as Rick Ross on
repeat?

221
00:09:18,024 --> 00:09:19,085
Like Rosay.

222
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,419
I don't know.

223
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,220
Yeah.

224
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,259
Do do you think that rap is her genre?

225
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,919
I don't know.

226
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:27,679
I don't either.

227
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,179
Roseang.

228
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Yeah.

229
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,120
No.

230
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,220
I I can't really go with it.

231
00:09:32,615 --> 00:09:32,855
Sorry.

232
00:09:32,855 --> 00:09:34,235
I have a wrong number.

233
00:09:34,375 --> 00:09:35,274
Here it is.

234
00:09:35,894 --> 00:09:36,375
Oh, god.

235
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:37,894
I absolutely love it.

236
00:09:37,894 --> 00:09:39,434
That's phenomenal stuff.

237
00:09:39,654 --> 00:09:40,154
Yeah.

238
00:09:40,294 --> 00:09:44,154
Make sure if you if you actually put this clip
on the gram, make sure you edit in.

239
00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:45,790
Yeah.

240
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,230
Rose ing.

241
00:09:50,170 --> 00:09:50,570
Uh-oh.

242
00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:52,250
Did you blow the speaker already?

243
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:52,649
No way.

244
00:09:52,649 --> 00:09:53,710
I barely talked.

245
00:09:53,769 --> 00:09:54,269
Jesus.

246
00:09:54,809 --> 00:09:55,769
It was a light.

247
00:09:55,769 --> 00:09:56,990
Can't take you anywhere.

248
00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:58,429
Rose ing.

249
00:10:00,634 --> 00:10:02,174
Every time she makes a birdie.

250
00:10:02,315 --> 00:10:02,714
Oh, man.

251
00:10:02,875 --> 00:10:03,514
Turns on.

252
00:10:03,514 --> 00:10:04,394
Be so good.

253
00:10:04,394 --> 00:10:04,894
Alright.

254
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:05,674
Alright.

255
00:10:05,674 --> 00:10:06,794
Let's keep it moving.

256
00:10:06,794 --> 00:10:08,654
Now, LivGolf Chicago.

257
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:09,375
Alright?

258
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:11,674
This is kinda my rankings for the week.

259
00:10:11,674 --> 00:10:12,075
Alright?

260
00:10:12,075 --> 00:10:17,220
So the Solheim Cup, best pro golf product that
was out there this past week.

261
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:19,860
LIV Golf Chicago came in second for me.

262
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:26,019
Now LIV Golf Chicago, with Jon Rahm winning,
did he end up living up to the expectations we

263
00:10:26,019 --> 00:10:28,759
all expected when he signed with LIV?

264
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:33,284
That's a tough one.

265
00:10:33,284 --> 00:10:34,345
I don't think so.

266
00:10:34,485 --> 00:10:34,985
No?

267
00:10:35,044 --> 00:10:35,284
No.

268
00:10:35,284 --> 00:10:40,105
I think he won, but, like, he he won, like, a b
league game.

269
00:10:41,445 --> 00:10:43,799
That That that is fantastic.

270
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:48,100
That a lot of people are gonna be upset with
that comment.

271
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:48,980
I love that.

272
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:50,019
As much as I love

273
00:10:50,019 --> 00:10:50,179
the

274
00:10:50,179 --> 00:10:50,580
LIV tour

275
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:51,399
You do.

276
00:10:52,659 --> 00:10:53,620
Like yeah.

277
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:58,375
You could've taken, like, 4 or 5 other guys off
the PGA tour, tossed them on Liv, and then be

278
00:10:58,375 --> 00:10:58,774
like, yeah.

279
00:10:58,774 --> 00:10:59,495
I'm the champion.

280
00:10:59,495 --> 00:11:02,315
I beat all these fucking sort of.

281
00:11:05,254 --> 00:11:12,009
John to to John's defense, he did end up
finishing the season with a so his last three

282
00:11:12,009 --> 00:11:14,750
events were a win, 2nd place, and a win.

283
00:11:14,970 --> 00:11:20,730
So in my opinion, he got his shit together, and
he started playing good golf at the end of the

284
00:11:20,730 --> 00:11:21,049
year.

285
00:11:21,049 --> 00:11:22,570
He played great golf, but

286
00:11:22,730 --> 00:11:23,789
Not at the beginning.

287
00:11:24,215 --> 00:11:24,715
No.

288
00:11:25,014 --> 00:11:25,815
And that's yeah.

289
00:11:25,815 --> 00:11:27,595
But even hit that's my point.

290
00:11:28,215 --> 00:11:29,815
Still player of the year Yeah.

291
00:11:29,975 --> 00:11:33,915
On the LIV tour, and he had his fucking c game
for half the season.

292
00:11:34,615 --> 00:11:35,095
Really?

293
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:35,595
So

294
00:11:36,054 --> 00:11:36,774
There you go.

295
00:11:36,774 --> 00:11:37,575
There you have it.

296
00:11:37,575 --> 00:11:39,754
I'm Caddie in the Pro Am here in Dallas.

297
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:45,500
Now with LIV Golf Chicago, so Jon Rahm wins the
individual title.

298
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,600
He also wins the Chicago event.

299
00:11:48,139 --> 00:11:51,420
Then and he actually won it over Joaquin
Niemann.

300
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:57,315
So Joaquin Niemann finished his second in
Chicago and he also finished second for the

301
00:11:57,315 --> 00:11:58,215
season standings.

302
00:11:59,955 --> 00:12:01,335
Guess who finished 3rd?

303
00:12:01,394 --> 00:12:01,894
Who?

304
00:12:02,514 --> 00:12:03,735
Sergio Garcia.

305
00:12:03,875 --> 00:12:04,855
Is that a surprise?

306
00:12:06,514 --> 00:12:06,995
No.

307
00:12:06,995 --> 00:12:11,789
Well, he has that opportunity over here to to
finish that high.

308
00:12:13,049 --> 00:12:13,610
You know what?

309
00:12:13,610 --> 00:12:15,850
It it's pretty interesting you say that because

310
00:12:15,929 --> 00:12:17,289
Am I throwing that out of my I'm not

311
00:12:17,450 --> 00:12:17,850
No.

312
00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:19,529
And I didn't even think of it like that.

313
00:12:19,529 --> 00:12:20,570
I kinda thought, wow.

314
00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:22,169
You know, it's a surprise.

315
00:12:22,169 --> 00:12:25,034
That's a Sergio Garcia finished 3rd this year.

316
00:12:25,115 --> 00:12:26,014
He's that good.

317
00:12:26,235 --> 00:12:31,514
He is that good, but I think it's also a factor
of the type of courses they play Mhmm.

318
00:12:31,595 --> 00:12:32,414
In the competition.

319
00:12:32,714 --> 00:12:33,034
Right.

320
00:12:33,034 --> 00:12:37,355
He's not he's not playing a field or a golf
course that's as deep as what he would be up

321
00:12:37,355 --> 00:12:39,615
against if he was playing a full season on
tour.

322
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,320
But, I mean, he wouldn't be in the top 10 on
tour.

323
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,820
Right?

324
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,620
No.

325
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:45,220
Would you put money on that?

326
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:45,440
Yeah.

327
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,200
He hasn't been in the top 10 in

328
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:49,120
20 10 years, 5 years?

329
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Probably 5 years.

330
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,879
I love Sergio.

331
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,720
When did he when did he win the masters would
be the question?

332
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,794
Because I think that was the last time he his
ranking was that high.

333
00:12:59,975 --> 00:13:03,195
It's been at least 3 years because he's been
with Liv for 3 years.

334
00:13:03,254 --> 00:13:03,754
Yeah.

335
00:13:04,054 --> 00:13:05,414
Been with them since the beginning.

336
00:13:05,414 --> 00:13:05,735
He didn't

337
00:13:05,735 --> 00:13:06,475
win it.

338
00:13:07,095 --> 00:13:08,154
When did he win?

339
00:13:08,669 --> 00:13:10,029
Won the masters in,

340
00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:11,970
Tiger 1 19?

341
00:13:12,990 --> 00:13:13,789
I can't remember.

342
00:13:13,789 --> 00:13:13,950
Is

343
00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:16,690
it 17 or 18, 16, or 17?

344
00:13:18,509 --> 00:13:20,769
And I'm not saying Sergio is not.

345
00:13:21,174 --> 00:13:24,634
I don't don't take that as discrediting him.

346
00:13:24,774 --> 00:13:25,095
No.

347
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:27,575
Sergio Garcia is a legend of the game,

348
00:13:27,575 --> 00:13:29,254
which I can't why he is 3rd.

349
00:13:29,254 --> 00:13:34,215
His ball striking is incredible, and that was
also something that he talked about, being able

350
00:13:34,215 --> 00:13:41,529
to play a golf course like, Valhalla or being
able to play or not Valhalla.

351
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:42,230
Jesus.

352
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:43,129
That's in Kentucky.

353
00:13:43,429 --> 00:13:43,929
Valderrama.

354
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:49,545
And being able to play a golf course like they
did in Chicago, which is very tight.

355
00:13:49,884 --> 00:13:50,384
2017.

356
00:13:50,924 --> 00:13:52,225
Thank you, Trot golfer.

357
00:13:52,365 --> 00:13:54,865
So 2017, Sergio won the masters.

358
00:13:55,004 --> 00:13:57,644
That was the last time he was probably alright.

359
00:13:57,644 --> 00:13:58,684
So 8 years.

360
00:13:58,684 --> 00:13:59,004
Yeah.

361
00:13:59,004 --> 00:13:59,964
It's almost a decade.

362
00:13:59,964 --> 00:14:00,605
So 8 years.

363
00:14:00,605 --> 00:14:01,105
Yeah.

364
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:01,990
Yeah.

365
00:14:01,990 --> 00:14:02,490
Crazy.

366
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,470
Not discrediting, no, where he finished that.

367
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:06,809
I mean, his his game is still unbelievable.

368
00:14:07,029 --> 00:14:08,410
His ball striking's unbelievable.

369
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:08,790
Right?

370
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:11,350
It's always been the putter that has been his
bugaboo Mhmm.

371
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:15,210
Which like a lot of great ball strikers that
tends to happen.

372
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:16,250
Yeah.

373
00:14:17,254 --> 00:14:17,754
Alright.

374
00:14:19,254 --> 00:14:27,274
The the other the other funny piece to LIV Golf
this past week was the fact of relegation.

375
00:14:28,214 --> 00:14:33,829
And relegation our your boy, Pat Perra has

376
00:14:33,949 --> 00:14:34,509
He got it.

377
00:14:34,509 --> 00:14:35,309
He's okay.

378
00:14:35,309 --> 00:14:35,809
Right?

379
00:14:36,990 --> 00:14:37,889
Is that wrong?

380
00:14:38,269 --> 00:14:38,589
No.

381
00:14:38,589 --> 00:14:39,389
That is correct.

382
00:14:39,389 --> 00:14:40,190
He's alright.

383
00:14:40,190 --> 00:14:41,570
He's he's alright.

384
00:14:41,789 --> 00:14:43,754
He'd let's put it this way.

385
00:14:43,754 --> 00:14:47,535
He did not earn his way to stay on LIV Golf.

386
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:48,254
Oh, okay.

387
00:14:48,315 --> 00:14:50,875
The other guy so he was he was actually

388
00:14:51,115 --> 00:14:51,995
Somebody shit themselves.

389
00:14:52,235 --> 00:14:57,934
2 spots down, okay, in in the drop zone in,
like, the final 9 holes of play.

390
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:06,100
Kaia Samuja and then also Scott Vincent both
blew their load and just shit the bed.

391
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:07,200
Shit the bed.

392
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,100
Like, triples?

393
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,379
You know.

394
00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:10,875
Oh my god.

395
00:15:11,355 --> 00:15:11,434
God.

396
00:15:11,434 --> 00:15:11,934
Okay.

397
00:15:12,154 --> 00:15:12,514
I'm good.

398
00:15:12,514 --> 00:15:15,534
I haven't, dude, I haven't had beers in a
while, so this is gonna get interesting.

399
00:15:15,835 --> 00:15:21,514
So, yeah, that was, Pat Perez avoids relegation
due to the poor play from everybody else.

400
00:15:21,514 --> 00:15:24,735
Like, there was nothing in the final day that
Pat could do.

401
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:30,829
Now a quick word from our sponsor.

402
00:15:31,929 --> 00:15:34,110
Swanee's is here with a fresh take.

403
00:15:34,329 --> 00:15:38,990
Performance based materials are a given these
days, but if you're looking for the stretchiest

404
00:15:39,304 --> 00:15:45,464
and most lightweight pieces that deliver a look
that says I'm here for a good time, take a walk

405
00:15:45,464 --> 00:15:46,845
on the Suwanee side.

406
00:15:47,065 --> 00:15:52,424
With fabric sourced from recycled plastics and
designs sourced from our very own weekend

407
00:15:52,424 --> 00:15:57,669
warriors, Swanies is looking out for both our
planet and those that need a little style to

408
00:15:57,669 --> 00:16:00,570
boost their drive another 15 yards.

409
00:16:00,950 --> 00:16:04,009
Premium looks from top to bottom at swanies.co.

410
00:16:07,535 --> 00:16:10,894
In order to, like, save his spot, it was up to
the other guys to ship the best.

411
00:16:10,894 --> 00:16:13,615
So they just fucked off and, like, he got lucky
and got it.

412
00:16:13,615 --> 00:16:14,014
Yeah.

413
00:16:14,014 --> 00:16:14,415
Okay.

414
00:16:14,415 --> 00:16:14,735
Yeah.

415
00:16:14,735 --> 00:16:15,215
Yeah.

416
00:16:15,215 --> 00:16:16,095
We'll just say that.

417
00:16:16,095 --> 00:16:16,415
Yeah.

418
00:16:16,415 --> 00:16:17,075
I mean,

419
00:16:19,054 --> 00:16:19,774
did you give me

420
00:16:20,254 --> 00:16:21,215
Trow wants to know.

421
00:16:21,215 --> 00:16:22,434
Did you give him a text?

422
00:16:23,050 --> 00:16:23,550
No.

423
00:16:24,009 --> 00:16:24,730
No text?

424
00:16:24,730 --> 00:16:25,050
No.

425
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:25,290
I'm

426
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:25,529
not.

427
00:16:25,529 --> 00:16:25,850
No.

428
00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:26,009
No.

429
00:16:26,009 --> 00:16:26,330
Hey.

430
00:16:26,330 --> 00:16:28,170
Congrats for keeping your job.

431
00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:33,370
At least we think he kept his job because part
of the open zone is that you can be released or

432
00:16:33,370 --> 00:16:34,269
you can be traded.

433
00:16:35,304 --> 00:16:38,264
It's probably, if I had to guess, DJ is not

434
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:39,384
gonna do anything to him.

435
00:16:39,384 --> 00:16:41,804
Well, it's and it's probably up to him, you
know?

436
00:16:42,264 --> 00:16:47,465
I think another question that you might wanna
ask the guy is, does he still wanna be out

437
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:47,945
there?

438
00:16:47,945 --> 00:16:48,600
It's a good point.

439
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:48,839
He's

440
00:16:48,839 --> 00:16:49,960
got young kids.

441
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,360
Right?

442
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,159
Like, they he's got a ton of money.

443
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:54,200
Lot of money, though, still.

444
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,799
And, but still yeah.

445
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:57,080
You're leaving a ton on the table.

446
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Maybe just do one more year and then call it,
and then you got

447
00:16:59,879 --> 00:17:00,120
yeah.

448
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,004
But, yeah.

449
00:17:01,004 --> 00:17:02,605
That's a question I would wanna ask him.

450
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,365
I haven't talked to him in quite some time.

451
00:17:04,365 --> 00:17:05,964
Is do do you still wanna be out there?

452
00:17:05,964 --> 00:17:09,825
And with the suspension, he doesn't get that,
PG tour retirement fund.

453
00:17:11,085 --> 00:17:11,585
Oh.

454
00:17:11,884 --> 00:17:13,345
So that's another factor.

455
00:17:13,565 --> 00:17:14,065
Yeah.

456
00:17:14,285 --> 00:17:14,765
Yeah.

457
00:17:14,765 --> 00:17:18,049
Oh, we're gonna get into that too, by the way,
the, how do you get back.

458
00:17:18,049 --> 00:17:18,549
Right?

459
00:17:18,609 --> 00:17:19,089
Yeah.

460
00:17:19,089 --> 00:17:19,490
Exactly.

461
00:17:19,490 --> 00:17:19,890
Okay.

462
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:20,369
Alright.

463
00:17:20,369 --> 00:17:22,470
Let's, let's keep it moving.

464
00:17:22,769 --> 00:17:23,750
Irish Open.

465
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:25,910
So this one was kinda interesting.

466
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:31,765
So Rasmus Hogyakard wins by 1 over Rory
McIlroy.

467
00:17:32,945 --> 00:17:37,845
Rory 3 putts the 17th hole and ends up losing
by 1.

468
00:17:37,904 --> 00:17:38,404
Again?

469
00:17:38,785 --> 00:17:39,285
Again.

470
00:17:39,585 --> 00:17:40,884
He's fucking soaked.

471
00:17:40,945 --> 00:17:47,690
I I was about to ask him, like, is Rory McIlroy
ever going to recover from yet another 3 putt

472
00:17:47,690 --> 00:17:49,230
that cost him a big victory?

473
00:17:49,769 --> 00:17:55,690
It's so hard to have your career just go, like,
and just be that little diamond at the top, and

474
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:56,509
it's fragile.

475
00:17:57,174 --> 00:18:02,055
And it's just too many fuck ups, and he's just
I
