Hi, Pat.
Gentlemen.
Wow, what a setup.
Wow, you're in your office?
Yeah, my wife finally kind of got organized.
My shoe room was almost done.
It was too loud.
It's next to the baby's room.
So.
I kind of like the office more.
You made some progress in the office.
It's got on my shit.
I got so much stuff to actually fucking do and put in here.
It's actually frightening.
I got so much to do in general.
I just don't have time to fuck off.
I got so much to do.
But this will be done eventually.
What's like all you got all these like crystals and shit over your left shoulder?
Every year.
So a lot of this shit, I'll tell you the, I'll show you the fucking prime ones.
These are the ones people don't even know about
But you can't get them
So you have to play
So when you go to Augusta
You can get like this shit here, right?
You can get the
What the hell is it?
See like it says masters on it?
Oh yeah
You get that one
When you play
They give you the one with just the
Logo
Oh
That's the coolest guy
I've got
Fuck me
I got, I had four of them, one broke, you know, of course, in transit.
So, you know, good luck, me getting one.
If it was tired, you'd probably get another one, but I can't get one from Damshare.
Yeah, how would you even submit that request?
Yeah, oh, you know, broke, go really okay.
I'm not, that's like tall ones too.
So it's pretty cool as shit.
These are, I never drink out of those that kind of hide them.
But then I got all, I mean, you know, playing pebble a million years.
I've got, I've got so much of this shit laying around, pebble stuff.
And then Jack, he gives away, you know, Waterford as well.
But, like, you know, there's our Pobble trophy.
Me and my partner won.
Those are sick.
I'm a good pebble.
But that's the one that Jordan sent me.
And, you know, I've got a bunch of things inscripted from Don Hilliote.
All kinds of shit.
And then here's my, there's my, like, my biggest prize thing on the planet.
Because it's actually, you can't read it, but it's signed by Arnold Palmer.
Because he hosted the 50th that year.
And then that one, that was just another view of it.
be signed both of them for me, which is sick.
So. Yeah, those are.
Those are important.
But yeah, like you think of tea things.
They give you shit every time you go to one.
I've got a whole other, I got all kinds of shit in a warehouse that I got to come and put in.
I had all these shells put in just for that.
Now I got to finish organizing the shit.
What are those two bottles of Coke, those two Mexican Cokes right there?
They, um, so we're playing Mexico City.
Oh, no, this is when I got to church.
championship.
They give your own.
There's nothing better.
That's the best Coke in the world right there.
By far.
Oh, and those little bottles?
Yeah.
So, two of those types of championship.
That's so good.
I've got to have a lot more, but unfortunately, I just don't.
But, yeah, it's a little shit like that that I, you know, I didn't even realize I had a lot of this stuff.
But it's pretty cool to look over 20 years of playing on a two.
or what the hell you kind of, you know,
you can imagine what fucking tiger's houselips like what he's got.
You have to buy three more houses and the house on shit.
Right.
Well, I think it was like, who was it Ricky,
who another little Ricky League who said that the only thing he has
are his major trophies.
He just like sends his trophies to like villages and around the world.
Oh, it was Roy.
It was Roy who said that when Roy was over there.
Was that Roy?
Because Rory said when he was driving away,
he like was rethinking.
his entire life.
He was trying to really like determine how he felt about tournaments.
Yeah, he treats like Tiger treats regular PGA tour trophies like the Super Bowl
champion T-shirts for the wrong team.
Right.
He just couldn't possibly care less.
Sends him around the world.
You've got 65 of the other ones.
I guess, you know, maybe there's a, no, he'll wake up when they and realize that, you
know, they are all unbelievable, you know, everything that you've done in his entire life.
He actually fucking might realize a little.
more now than ever because you can't play. So, you know, maybe, maybe those things start to
creep back in your mind. I know, you know, every year I get older, I start to realize, damn, I'm a year
older from, you know, what the hell I thought I was, 25 years ago coming out of college, but it's,
it's pretty cool stuff. But, yeah, I can only imagine, like, you know, you think of like the big
guys, you know, like, like Ernie and Rathie and, you know, guys that have won a lot of majors, and, you know,
and just accumulated shit over 35 years.
Imagine what their hell their house looks like.
You've got to have a big house just a handle of this shit.
You've made progress.
Last time we were there, this was all in like boxes, I feel like.
Yeah, Ashley did this.
This was, she put just the stuff up that she thought would be kind of important to me.
I just haven't really had time to do.
So over here on this wall, I'm doing, there's my Peloton.
There's my fucking clothes hanger.
But I put it in all about that.
You've been cranking that peloton.
I can't find the fucking plug.
I can't find the plug.
Of course I can't.
So on that wall there,
that wall there is going to be 12 shoes.
It's going to be a,
it'll be a clock,
the size of the whole wall.
So it'll actually,
it'll actually spin,
but it's going to be my 12 favorite shoes,
obviously for the 12 number.
It's not going to be like a Jordan 1,
a Jordan 2, a Jordan 3 for the number.
No, it's just going to be my favorite,
because I'm not really a 2 guy.
I don't like the 2s at all.
What are your favorites?
Or the cement fours in your top 10?
The cement four is great.
Cement four is great.
Actually, I've got to put Walburgers four in here.
I'm going to probably put his fours right here.
He signed me those green Walberg.
He'll put him right here.
But that might be one on the wall.
Anything that MJ played in, obviously, you know, like the big playoffs,
like the flu game and the playoff 13s and I don't know,
obviously cement four.
I mean, I've got enough choice.
I'm going to have to.
probably the shoe room's coming together though it's almost done is your uh is your floor up in like
the theater room still covered in shoes or no now i got about i got about i got about
i don't know three-fourths of about there now the problem is that the serum doesn't hold everything
so i've got to figure out exactly what i want to put in there because i got to you know fucking goes up
15 feet so i have to figure out what is going to go up there and then um i think in my garage
downstairs i'm going to put in more shelving for all kinds of stuff
golf clubs you know i still got 200 pairs of golf shoes that i have to house somewhere that's just
tennis shoes i you know i've got boxes the box of golf shoes everywhere that i still don't
what the hell i'm going to do it knows but i can't leave mountain the heat so but i got issues i got a lot
i got a lot stuff going on just common man problems i got a lot stuff going on now did i hear right
that somebody broke 100 is this right here is this factual stuff yeah that's factual i shot a 95 yeah
good for you.
Thank you, man.
I appreciate it.
How long?
It's time.
A long time.
We, I mean, it's 30 years.
30 years, but we've been doing it for, you know, eight episodes.
We've been playing.
I've been working on it.
I've been working with Tilly.
He's been helping me with my swing.
Sounds good.
Yeah, I mean, we got it.
We got it done.
It was a good time.
Now we move on and we're going to try to break 90.
That's right, baby.
Keep going.
Keeps you going.
I promise you.
Yep.
That'll be fun.
So now that you guys getting that better, I did talk to the owner of Severly,
who I play with all the time and Rom.
We're going to have you guys out there,
but you're going to play both of us.
So there's no,
I don't think any tour players
going to beat the 40 anymore.
So me and the owner of Silverlee
from having you guys out,
we're going to play,
us two are going to play you four.
And it came down to one putt.
Like,
I don't know,
like,
you guys got a lot better.
I see Riggs.
His accent's gotten better.
Obviously,
boys breaking 100 now.
All right.
He'll obviously get some sweet bounces off.
like the last time so no but I think I think we had some fun with it we might have some fun
with it for sure every time we agree to change the format it goes bad for us like we just need to be
like we're we are trying to win this then we're not going to you can't continue you're
you can't continually play a four against a one guy and keep beating out and then you have to keep
challenging yourself we can't just play one guy so now we're going to play two you know and then
If ROM happens to be in town, you know, we'll get you guys a little puckered up even more than that, and we'll see what happened.
Yeah, I mean, if you bring John Rom into the full, like, you know, like, all right.
It's like you're in the Revolutionary War, you bring like a nuclear bomb.
It's like, okay, like that's great.
What are we doing here?
No, no, we might put Rahm on your team.
Okay.
Now we're talking.
Yeah, that's fine.
We are going to do it.
We'll, we're going to have you guys.
I was talking to raise a.
about earlier, you know, but we'll, that would be fun.
You guys come out and play it.
Oh, yeah.
It's perfect right now.
It's only like 92 degrees.
It's unbelievable.
It's the best son we've had, and I can't remember how long.
It is hot in New York right now.
Really hot.
I'm not looking, I saw the forecast next week.
It's going to be up there.
It's like 80% humidity, 95, feeling like 105.
It is hot.
So you guys lost your governor.
That's right.
Yeah.
Tough one for this.
Tough one for.
For me and my Italians.
The screenshot.
What a line.
Just what a line to be on the banner on the news is just I'm not converted.
I'm just Italian.
Last three governors have walked away with their tail between the legs a little bit, I think.
New York's tough place, man.
It's just a real tough spot.
Fuck, yeah.
That's a tough city, boy.
Let me tell you.
I'll put some fucking hair in the chest.
That guy was on his way out for a long time anyway.
Nah, I know.
Fucking Dave was on him during the, like, the height of it.
the pandemic for writing a book instead of every single day he won like a daytime Emmy for his
weekly updates on how the pandemic was doing the guy was the most unlikable guy you could possibly
have during something like this like a smile on his face like people are dying like we can't
go outside he's like he's like writing like funny memes on the news like today's Tuesday it was a joke
it was a joke I will say I think it's safe to say he's a joke now you're allowed you're definitely
allowed to say that for sure
We made a joke.
So is it,
is it mask only in that town or what,
what's going on over there?
Is it locked down again?
Not yet.
I think it's teetering on like,
you know,
I think like public places
are going to start going back
to mandatory masks.
Like still have it on the flights
and some restaurants may start implementing it.
But right now it's holding off.
It's holding off,
which is good.
Flights,
well, flights will be that.
I said flights will be that way until 2022.
I don't know,
or 322.
And I, you know,
which sucks because it's such a long day.
But, you know,
it is what it is.
but I think I think some people just fly with them
no matter what for a long time
It does just suck when it's a long when it's a long flight
Because like the whole Uber to the airport you're in a mask
The whole like process of checking your bags
Go with the security you're in a mask
The whole flight you're in a mask
Then getting your bags getting an Uber home you're in a mat
It's like it's a full time
You're doing it now for Sasksto
You know how hard is go to East Coast
Especially if you have a stop
It's brutal if you have a stop
Because now you're like
I think another hour and change in the airport
sitting there doing nothing, you know,
and everyone's watching like a fucking hawk,
and if you got your mask,
you know, it's on over your nose.
Okay, I get it, you know,
I can't breathe, sorry.
Give me two minutes, fucking breathe.
Does get hot.
How much is your guys,
is like process and protocol
and everything changed over the last six months?
Tremendous.
We don't do testing anymore,
and we don't,
they're trying to do the masking inside,
but, you know, not everybody's doing it.
It's like, fuck, man,
everybody's tired of it.
I think I took like 70 tests, we're all negative, you know.
I never got COVID, never, you know, never experienced anything.
So whatever that was, it was.
But, you know, guys are just more conscious.
You know, the guys are still getting it obviously somehow.
But now it's up to us.
If we feel shitty, then, you know, we have to go test.
But, you know, it leaves room for, like next week.
You know, let's say a guy feels shitty on Saturday night.
he's lead the fucking tournament.
Is he going to go test?
Is he going to pull himself out of the tournament?
Or is he going to go, fuck me, I got a chance to get the Tour of Championship,
you know, quadruple my earnings, you know, get myself set up for next year's schedule,
this and this and this and this.
I mean, this is where the problem is if you leave it up to, you know,
certain people decision making, you know, it's tough.
But, you know, the tour has spent a fortune in testing, masks, and fucking wipes
and all this other bullshit they had.
That was not in our budget for, you know, that 13 months.
I know that.
So I don't know, man.
I don't know.
I don't have a lot of answers to the whole thing.
I mean, obviously there's different theories on the whole COVID thing
and all this other stuff going on.
But, you know, my family never got it.
No one of my family got it.
No one got sick.
I don't know where you get this damn thing.
I don't know anything about it.
But, you know, guys, players are a little more, you know,
conscious on what's going on.
They're not really,
you know what I mean?
They don't,
a lot of guys don't go out anyway.
Next week's going to be no different.
You know,
most guys rent houses,
both the guys will eat an hotel,
whatever it is.
And that's kind of how
we're going to approach that part of the world.
Owens mixers,
gentlemen,
we've got to take a second
and speak about one of our favorite partners,
one of our favorite companies,
one of our favorite products
in the history of the world,
which is right here in front of you.
Trent's got it.
I've got it.
Trent's holding up the transfusion mix,
which we came up.
with so I'm going to hold up the met cucumber and lime which is quite tasteful as well but you pour
this in with your liquor of choice and you have yourself a high quality cocktail you can impress
people at parties you can impress people at your home um amazon's got next day shipping um surely you know
about amazon great company great service and you can just get that stuff sent directly to your
home or you can go to owensmixers.com check out their store locator and then this one right here
really speaks to my friend Lurch.
Here it is. There you go.
Kind of similar color to a shirt he's wearing almost right now, but it's a little
grapefruit and lime, which goes for a little paloma.
So a lot of good options.
They've got a margarita mix now as well if you're feeling kind of that flavor, that
direction.
So big thanks to Owens.
Again, you can go to their website, Owensmixers.com, store locator, go pick it up.
I was with Josh from Owens Mixers at the Barstool Classic this past week.
Hey, he's working nonstop trying to get it.
in at all the Kohler facilities, different states, different counties.
So work and nonstop to get into as many places we can.
Hopefully it's near you.
If it's not, for some reason, again, you should go to Amazon, get it delivered.
But we came up with our own transfusion, transfusion Thursdays.
Put this in with your favorite liquor of choice.
Have an awesome cocktail, be a hero.
Do you get, like, excited to go to a place like New York with energy in the city?
Or do you, it's such a golf term that you're just like,
I'm at the course the whole time?
this year will be the only time that's different.
I like going to New York.
I love going out to Long Island.
I think Long Island has some of the greatest golf in the entire planet that no one talks about.
I wouldn't match that against any place in the world as far as golf on that Long Island stretch.
You know, I didn't like going to New York in the past.
And I guess I just didn't, I don't know, understand.
I don't know.
But I love going there now.
I think it's great.
I think the fans are passionate as all hell.
You know, once I started to go to more restaurants and hang out and,
and see the city and kind of see what it really is.
You know, I really do enjoy going there.
This year will be obviously different because you can't just kind of go outside and see
and do whatever you want and that kind of stuff.
So it will be kind of a letdown.
I'll be staying in Jersey City.
So I won't even go across the, I wouldn't even go under the tunnel,
go to New York and all.
But, you know, I'm sure the fans will still be full steam when they get out there.
So what's it like you mentioned the courses, which I love.
You know, as golf nuts, like we love that you love courses, right?
That you're like, oh, I'm going to New York.
I'm going to go see.
When you're, what's your process like?
Like, because people have asked me that before.
They're like if a Kevin Kisner, Pat Perez shows up at any country club, can they always just get out?
Well, there's someone on Long Island that are, you know, as old school stuff.
How does that work if you're going to try to get out on?
Not even close.
So, you know, I've been trying to get up.
Not that I've been trying to get out to because I've been invited numerous times, but the national.
I've been just trying to make time.
The other problem is making time.
to actually do it because you still need to get ready for the tournament to rip.
So, you know, you fly Monday, Tuesday's a practice round.
If you're in the Wednesday pro-am, you play nine holes,
do you really want to go out to another course and play before Thursday?
You know, there's just not a lot of time.
You think, well, you've got seven days.
You got a lot to do.
No, there's just too much going on.
You know, in the meanwhile, you still need to be rested by the time you get to Sunday night.
Like, Tiger, the best thing that Tiger always had, he was always rested by the time he
Sunday, the back nine on Sunday, he was the most rested.
He did his most work before he even got to the tournament so that he would play nine
and then go rest and then work out and then do kind of thing.
He didn't go sightsee and, you know, play three other courses during the week and all that
crap.
I mean, I would love to see all the course.
You know, my boy even texts me.
He's like, hey, you know, he's a member out there at the Brit, which is the most, it's phenomenal.
It's so fucking good out there.
He's like, hey, man, fly in like, you know, Friday and come out and play.
I'm like, bro, my wife's fucking A-Nap once pregnant.
I can't just go and walk to, believe me.
But, you know, I played Sabonica.
I played Chinnacock.
I've played the bridge, obviously Bethpage.
I'm sure I'm missing a couple.
But, you know, I want to play Fryershead and I want to play national.
It's not because I don't have invitations, but that's what you do need.
You need to invitation.
You can't, even as a pro, you know, unless you're like a Rory or, you know, Tiger or
DJ, whatever.
you know, you might be able to call the club and say, I'd love to come out.
But when you're mean, you've got to have a different, you know,
you've got to have a different fucking set of, you know, set up.
So, yeah, now, we can't just show up and go out anywhere we want just because of the tour professions.
That means nothing.
These guys have paid, you know, hundreds of thousands to be there and this year, you know,
and they want to themselves.
I don't blame them.
That's the way I'd want it to, too.
But it is awesome.
When you can get out, like I got invited to go play Sabonica, and that was phenomenal.
I mean, that place was awesome.
I'd love to play it.
Fryer's Head National.
Those are two other ones that love to go out there.
But I'm not, I'm not shaking.
I didn't really spend a lot of time between, you know, the time I was born.
So like basically 35, 38 of even spending any time in New York whatsoever until really the
playoffs started, right?
But even then, I didn't really go out to the city much.
And Long Island didn't really get out there much in the U.S. Open or whatever.
But, man, I'm telling you, that Long Island, that place is so sick.
I can see what all the rave is about.
You know, Robert Floyd, I've known him forever.
His sister's always been out there.
And Ray, you know, Senior, they've always had a house there.
They rave about it.
I've just never spent any time.
But being out there the last like five years,
I'm telling you right now, I put that long island golf again.
It's anything on the planet.
Because just the whole stretch has got, even course,
you've never heard it.
Like, nobody's ever heard of the bridge.
I keep talking about it.
And no one's ever heard of it.
I mean, it's a million two to join.
That's probably not a deal on here about it.
A million two to join.
You know what I mean?
It's like, you think he's part of that course.
I also think, like I've seen pictures like South Hampton, I think, which like borders
Shinnecock and no one ever talks about it.
And everyone's just like, dude, if it was anywhere else in the country, it would be regarded
as one of the best places there is.
Yeah, now you guys got some unbelievable course out there.
I mean, it's New York, Long Island, you know, the Northeast, they have some of the greatest
course.
You know, it's funny enough that we're talking about this because somebody asked me a couple weeks
I said, you know, all these amazing courses you guys play.
I said, we don't play amazing courses.
We play TPC courses.
They're not fucking amazing at all.
They're probably some of the worst in the whole country, you know, as far as like,
they're fucking terrible.
I mean, TBCs are, they're terrible.
You're talking about, go find me a top 50 TBC course, you know, that's on the deal.
There's always a course like in a small old town that you don't know of, you know,
like Pine Valley, who the hell ever gets out there?
Why do you guys, why do you think you guys don't play more interesting courses?
It's like you're right.
The TBC courses are just fucking boring.
They're all the same shit.
They're fucking terrible.
The main reason is the tour owns most of the TPCs, obviously.
So that that's a money generating deal for us.
Two, who the hell wants 156 guys to come out literally destroy the fucking course?
Because that's what we're going to do.
We're going to destroy the course.
The rain's going to be gone.
You know, you're going to get all these people trudging around the course.
You know, a lot of members, too.
They don't want, they don't want, you know,
15, 25,000 people a day
walk around their golf course.
They just don't.
They want it for themselves.
It's a private joint.
I get it.
Believe me,
I get it.
So,
you know,
unfortunately,
we don't get to go
to all the great stops.
Like,
when teams get to go play
Norder Dane.
It's like a great thing,
right?
People love it.
We don't get to go to those
national treasures
and go,
man,
this place is so sick.
I can't wait to get to that tournament
and go play there.
No,
we go to fucking,
you know,
whatever.
You know, it's just not that exciting.
It's a term.
TPC D.R.
No, no, no.
I know.
I was hoping Pat wasn't going to go there.
I knew Frankie or one of the other guys were going to go there.
He didn't say that.
You guys said that.
PPC Dere Run is a gem.
But it is, you know, people, I was talking, I was talking to guys that.
Like, how do you guys don't play better courses all the time?
I go, bro, because we own the TPCs.
You know, you look at the schedule.
It's always some TPC.
but we don't ever play the top courses that are in that town, actually.
You know, we get lucky with the majors because it's a major.
Obviously, Shinnock is different.
Beth Page is different, but it's never going to be at Friars Head.
You know, it's never going to be at National, right?
It's never going to be at something like that.
I mean, Wingfoot's kind of one of them.
I wish we'd go back to Westchester to play that, you know, the old Buick Open.
I wish we had a tournament up there.
But, you know, Cog Hill.
I love Cog Hill.
We don't have that anymore.
It's just...
What is like the best?
What is, like, your favorite,
course that you guys play? My favorite course. My favorite course and turn of it is well,
Tori is kind of a separate thing, even though they fucked up to talk to the course.
But that aside from Tori, just because I have that, is Riviera.
Riviera is one of the all-time old school courses. They haven't really fucked it up.
They made a little bit longer. The tent's green now is so ridiculous. It's actually embarrassing,
but that doesn't matter. But that course is just, it's so. It's so.
so good. If we can play it in kind of a different time where it was firm and fast,
bro, that place, that place is so good. That tournament is phenomenal. That tournament is so good.
Yeah, Riviera, I know like Max obviously talks about a ton, but I feel like every player on tour.
I mean, they had the U.S. Amateur there not that long ago and it's got the history. I think there's a lot
of talking. Did they announce, are they going to announce? They're going to bring a major there,
I feel like in the next 10 years. I mean, it's amazing. I mean, Elf won last one, 95. I can't
believe there has not been another major since then.
That's outrageous.
I mean, and Elle talks about it like, you know,
from Houston and South, you know, in Australia,
but he loves that place. I love that place.
You know, I grew up on Kukuya grass,
you know, that shitty, kakuya rough,
you know, fast, shitty, poana greens.
I mean, I love that stuff.
I think it's wrong, but that layout on the course is so good.
I love that place.
I think it's probably, obviously, Hogan's Alley,
you got all this other stuff.
that's probably my favorite one because it's also one of those big time courses that we get to go to every year
it's like a big time top 50 course every year they welcome us to come so that might have you know
something else to do with it but that's my favorite it's my favorite course we play on tour it's very
funny that you like you crave and can't wait to play on those like California poana greens
and like kids, you couldn't drag kids across the country to play on those fucking greens.
You know, bitch and moat about those I'm talking about.
He was not, he hates that shit.
He hates those.
But, you know, when you grow up on perfect type Bermuda greens, like they have in, you know, in Seattle, and it's, I get it.
I mean, you know, I get it.
But it's funny for me, it's so special, I mean, I used to work there, you know, I was high school there.
It's a different deal for me.
I wish the course was still, you know, kind of old school the way it was.
I mean, it's coming back a little bit, but, you know, like I said,
I wish they would have left Phil to the North course because I think North course
would have been better than the South.
That's how good plans that Phil had for the North.
Yeah, wild history there where he had the bid and it was pretty much a done deal,
and then they kind of pulled the plug in the last second, the city and the town.
It's crazy.
It was $10 million high.
His, like, proposal?
What it was going to cost for him to redo it was 10 million higher than they wanted to do it.
10 million?
It was going to be fucking sick, though, bro.
It was going to be, you know, and he made an argument which I've thought, even since I was 14 years old,
there's not enough canyon in play on either one of the courses.
Right.
You've got this amazing cliff on this incredible beach down there.
And if you think about the holes on the north, now the south doesn't have.
You've got a little bit, but even still like 13, right?
13th in that back team.
That fucking Faraway should be over to the left one.
With a canyon is gone.
Your ball's gone, right?
And then like 14, Farrow should more left.
15 should have been more left.
Those trees should have been gone.
16, the green should have been a little more left.
17, the green should be kind of shorter left.
There's so many things on the south and the north that the canons just aren't in play.
They finally on 17 of the south, they brought that canyon into play off the team.
But that's how like
Change the U.S. Open, too.
I mean, Louis U.S.
has hit it in the canyon.
Right, right.
But that's how like 10 or 12 holes
on both those courses should be,
and they just aren't.
But Phil's plans,
his plans were awesome.
They were going to be so cool.
The canyon coming up three on the north
was going to then wrap around the green on nine,
like on the right side of it.
It was sick.
How long ago was that decision?
I don't even,
how long ago was that?
A couple years ago,
easily. Three, four years ago, easy.
When he started talking about it,
you know, I talked about it in great
details, because I played there just as many
times he had. You know, me and him played there
at the most, probably Hoffman, the other one.
We're like, bro, this course just needs
some action. It needs, it doesn't
just need length. It needs to have some
fucking danger somewhere. You know, like
even as good as the green
is on 17
on the north, they didn't even, they didn't bring
the fairway to the left over there.
The fairway, you got to bring the fairway in on the left.
It's the same thing like on two.
You know, move the fairway left.
Move the green left over on three.
It's like, God, you get this amazing, amazing canyon and cliff and all this other stuff.
And he used none of it.
It's funny, man, because we were actually at the, at the U.S. Open.
I remember talking to Trent swing coach, John Tiller, who's obviously also kids, swing coach.
And on 17, now they have the cluster of bunkers on the right.
They moved the fairway left.
And literally, if you miss the fairway left, it just kicks into that canyon like Louis ball did.
And they had been pretty recent into the whole decade golf stuff, Kiz.
And Tilleri was saying the actual start line for Kiz is in the bunkers.
He's actually starting his T-Shod on 17 now because of what you're talking about in the bunker.
And if he draws it, great.
But if he pushes it right, it's literally what happened to Louis where it's like, you're fine.
You're still going to make par most likely from those bunkers.
but if you pull it left and you're aiming down the right center of the fairway, you're fucked.
It's over.
It's over.
Which is why, you know, Ron was the clear favorite to win that tournament because now is, you know, I talked with Ron, a lot of detail about that after he won.
Because, you know, I play them all the time.
But I know you love to play some running.
But he knows what he's going to go to.
He's going to go to this power fade all day.
He can aim left.
He's going to hold.
It's going to power fade off of all the trouble coming in.
And there was no other clear.
favorite other than him to win that coming down the stretch.
Louis, as great as he is as a, you know,
a major player, there was no question that Ron was going to win that tournament coming
down the stretch.
When he got into that lead, he's won him before, he won his first tournament there.
He loves that place.
It was just a clear deal, you know, that he was going to win.
And he, you know, he might win that thing.
He might win that thing as many times Tiger has.
Is some of my favorite sound bites, I feel like, in the last year where Rob
talking about his sort of limitations with like what he was born with and how he learned to swing
the way he swings because of that.
I felt like that was some of the best takeaway for any golfer in the world of like,
no, this is the best swing that works for me.
Like instead of everyone just trying to copy Tiger 2000 or whatever, like, no, no, swing,
like what's best for you.
And then Rob talking about that as he's been dominating golf, I thought that was just really
important for a lot of normal golfers to hear that.
Yeah, well, it's funny enough because the owner of Silverlee, Ben, he always works with kind of like whoever we play, whether it's me or Chess or Chapel or Ron.
He plays with me and Ron the most.
He keeps trying to copy Ron, but he swings like Patrick Reed.
You couldn't have any more opposite swings, right?
So I told him, last time we probably said, bro, we got to get this shit out of your mind that you're going to swing like John.
No one's going to swing like John.
You're never going to get this flat and come through and turn like he does.
he does it beautifully. That's why he's number one in the world.
You are not going to do that. You are a powerful player.
Nice. I mean, this guy's phenomenal. He's a plus five at a club.
He owns a club. He owns a plus five.
Ron gives him one to one and he's got his hands full every day.
But I said, you swing like Patrick Reed. You aim right.
You come over, you're across at the top. And you come down.
You always hit this power, this like total draw.
And I said, that's fine. But don't try to swing like John.
You're literally going to be out of the game.
You can't do it.
So back to your point, yes, swing your swing.
Find out things that are in your swing that you can work on to get better.
Like me, you know, I started working with Claude Harmon,
and my driver now is like a power fade.
Everything else is kind of straight, but the driver's a power fade.
It gets to the right, and I swing left, and it fades out to the right.
And that's fine.
That's just going to beat my shot.
I tried to draw it for three years.
I couldn't do it.
I was one of the worst drivers of the game.
Now I'm actually in play, and I'm actually playing.
better. So you have to, you've got to know what you can do and what your body can do.
If you think you can hit a power draw, but you can't, then don't do it. Go the other way.
Work on what can actually get you in play.
Speaking of Tory and aiming in certain spots, one of the big things that came out of the U.S.
Open was Bryson on the fourth hole and multiple holes, just targeting the crowd and not
screaming for, yelling for. What was your whole takeaway with this guy? I mean, he can't, he can't
get out of his own way, it seems like.
What's your take on the fourth?
Pat, by the way, Pat just took his hat off and he's now combing through his hair
thinking about...
That's a perfect representation of Bryson Nishambo.
It's just like,
whoo, man.
The thing about is, I get along with Bryson very well.
Bryson has always been great to me, but there are just things I want to go, bro,
just don't fucking say anything.
Like, just can you get out of your own way and just shut the fuck?
up. If somebody says to yell for it, yeah, fuck, bro. I went through this. I went through this
about a fucking decade ago where I was playing with DJ. DJ was running. He was fucking nine out.
He was nine up on us. And I just started fucking foul balls. I had a guy in the goddamn
head he went to the hospital. I had two more. I had three people in four holes. You know,
and I'm like, it was going so fast. I wasn't even fucking thinking about what's going on. And I hit three
people.
And people
call me out of it.
They said,
you don't fucking yell for.
DJ's on his way
to a championship.
People drop a left and right.
I got to go to the fuck
what are we doing out here?
I'm just trying to get in.
I'm fucking killing people out here.
It was horrible.
It was the worst like
stretch of golf I ever played.
It was like,
God damn.
Will you people just fucking go like,
let me hit it over here somehow.
Can I hit it over there
away from the people?
I didn't.
And this guy,
get done with this guy's
fucking head is like this.
I'm like,
Like, give him a glove.
Like, what the fuck is that going to do?
Your glove?
You guys go to the fucking hospital.
What that was the glove?
So I called that guy.
I called this guy that night.
I don't know what the fuck I finished.
And it was, oh, man, I can't believe you called me.
I go, bro, I must fucking kill you today.
What do you mean?
You think that's not with a phone call?
At least I'm just glad you're alive that you can take the phone call.
But I hit three people in four holes.
They hit a guy on 11, 12, and fucking 13.
I'm like, we got to go off this course.
We got to fuck out of here.
I said, I'm going to kill somebody.
And then they're like, you didn't yell four.
And they're all mad at him.
I'm like, bro, I didn't even fucking think about.
I'm so, like, worried about killing somebody and dot to da-da.
You know, DJ's running.
He's fucking playing fast.
I'm playing shit.
And everybody's passing me.
I'm like, I didn't think about it.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, well, okay, you got to yell four.
But, you know, when you're in those big-time groups, like the Bryce is the world, DJ these guys,
you're always going to have fans with you.
So, yeah, yelling for us.
is the right thing to do.
But God damn,
I wish Rice would just fucking,
you know,
he's such a good player,
but God,
I don't know why he just can't,
like,
not say the wrong things.
Right.
We talked about it the last time
we had you on the show
when the Part 67 thing was going on,
where he just,
like,
don't do that.
It's so easy to not do that.
Because if you don't shoot 67,
you look like a fucking idiot.
100%.
I mean,
it's just really simple.
I'm not going to show up
to literally to ask him.
Oh,
fuck if i don't shoot 68 when the fedx cup this you know this year it's a it's all it's all it's all bad
right also just to bring it back to like what you were just saying how you hit people when you were playing
with dj there's a huge difference between publicly or like public perception of what you were doing
where you just didn't have it those couple holes and what bryson was doing where they were saying he
was actually his aiming point was in the crowd so like if you know that at least like pre-round
be like hey guys when i get up there clear the crowd on the right like i mean that's just a missile like
you're saying like you're sending guys to the hospital by accident this guy could have sent someone
to hospital every single day since my brother that ball yeah that ball is coming in hard there's
there's only one place i've ever eaten where people are and it only happens a little bit of time it's
at pebble number six where it's the left side of the cart path up there is bare you can hit it up there
and you got actually a clean shot to the to the green but before i hit i tell the marshal i said
tell those people down there you to get over here because we're going this one
way, but I've never actually hit somebody aiming at them.
You know, like saying, well, I'm going to go over there.
I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say shit.
And that's just going to happen.
But, you know, you get up to you're like, fuck, he's so horrible.
Like, God damn it.
Hit this guy, you know.
Oh, give the guy a fucking ball.
What the hell is that going to do?
It's not going to do anything.
I mean, I feel fucking shitty as it is.
No, yeah.
So now, even if it just kind of goes offline, I yell for it.
buying a home very important probably the most important thing that most people will do actually
financially i don't know i don't know what could be more important than that could anything be
more important than that no i think that's got to be the number one thing certainly it's certainly
the most important thing the biggest decision that young people make i would imagine yeah for most
people i would say like you get into that billionaire million then they're doing all sorts of
investments but for thus normal people how many billionaires do you think you're listening to the podcast
Oh, but like maybe purchasing a company.
Like maybe there's a guy here that like his job is to see if his company needs to like overtake another company.
That's got to be a stressful part of your job.
He's talking millions.
Over under point five billionaires that listen to this show.
I'll take the over.
I don't know, man.
I think that I take the over just because it's golf and like maybe, maybe.
How many billionaires are on the planet?
I'm going to look that up right now.
But all I know, while I look at that.
Thousands?
Are there 200 billionaires?
I think there's more.
Okay.
I didn't know.
I think there are...
I don't know.
I have a number.
I have a number, too.
It's probably the same number because we're not going to do...
We're going to do the Jake Bass search
and we're just going to see the first thing that pops up.
I'm sticking with 200.
I'm sticking with 200.
2,755.
Wow.
Wow.
That gives me a whole hope.
Both of...
It's both of...
both a small number but also a pretty large number.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to say one of them listens to the podcast.
Okay.
I'm going to say zero of them listen to the podcast.
Yeah, I'm going to say zero.
If it was like, if it was 10 hours of golf, it's golf.
Dude, rich people like golf.
We got the best chance for sure.
Riggs, I'll agree with you there.
We got the best chance probably, but I still say no.
These people aren't real though.
Pretty big show.
Pretty big show.
Pretty popular hobby among super rich people.
Golf.
But if you're not one of those 2000 or whatever, if you're a normal guy like, say, Frankie Borelli, buying a house is a very, very big deal.

it is kind of funny that a glove or a ball is like a token bandaid like that's going to do shit but it's like
here's a glove it's like you know i don't i want i need an ambulance i need like a golf i need like a
i need like 10 grand for my medical bills like i don't need that that would be another start but they're like
they're like people you know and this goes back to like the whole social media world all this other
bullshit where people guilt you into doing things because they they think that they're the
fucking, you know, if you get enough bullies after you, well, fuck, he didn't say four,
fuck him and that, da, da, da, da, da.
And now you've got this shit storm that came after you because you didn't yell four.
And literally in that day that, I'm like, bro, I don't know where the fuck the ball is going.
I'm sorry you people have to be here to watch the shit.
I don't here to watch DJ, but I'm playing too.
I'm in fucking third place and my ball is going like this.
So I don't know what to fuck to tell you.
And the problem is, when you do, here is another big problem, too.
When you have that many fans around it, when you yell four, they don't do this.
They go, oh, really?
And they turn around.
They fucking always look up.
So everybody out there, when you hear four, cover your fucking head.
Don't look up.
Don't look for the ball.
Don't look at the marshal.
Just go like this.
That's it.
That's all you got to go.
Dude, they do give a very curious, like, ooh, a pro ball is coming over near.
It's like, where it could it be?
It's like, no, dude, it's going to kill you.
It's going to fire.
It's going to kill you.
One time I screamed, I screamed heads up, it's coming for your head.
Because I noticed the guy just wasn't moving.
And I just, like, I had to scream everything I could because it was going right at his dome.
Well, when I hear four, I mean, you might as well yell fucking, you know, firing a hole.
I mean, I take off and I'm like this.
I'm fucking down on the ground.
You don't look up, you don't do nothing.
It's actually scary, bro.
When you, you know, when you're playing and the ball,
Stars going like this, it actually gets scary because
fuck, I mean, I shattered a lady's knee in Charlotte.
I ducked a one off 16.
The old 16 used to be, the whole used to be way different.
You're a menace on the golf course, man.
Oh, bro, I'm fucking terrible.
Wait, are you a menace or do you?
Like, are you a menace or do all PJ Tour pros have these type of stories?
I'm sure they do.
No, no, we all have these stories, I promise you.
Everybody, just no one cares about us enough to actually bring them up.
but thankfully they kind of don't.
We do.
I fucking duck hook went off 16 at Charlotte.
This is probably 50 years ago.
And there was like trees and bushes.
I'm like, hey, she, where fuck that ball go?
I go all the side.
God damn, there's my ball over there in the first cut.
Perfect.
I got a great bounce.
I get up there and this fucking lady is on her back,
holding her knee.
Or a goddamn knee is like this big all of a sudden.
I go, fuck me.
God damn.
You know.
There's that great bounce.
There's a fucking here.
Give her a glove.
She's fine.
Get over there.
They go,
hey,
how are we doing?
She goes,
not good.
My knee is shattered.
The problem is with this whole deal,
is you've just,
you know,
injured this person tremendously, right?
And you've got to keep going.
It's not like you can stay there
to make sure that she gets help
and gets going on.
I mean,
you know,
now you're on the fucking clock.
You've got to keep going,
and you're like,
I mean,
I just almost fucking killed this person.
And I got to keep going
because the sport
goes on. I mean, it's like such an insensitive.
The Marshall's like, Pat, let's go. You got 30 seconds. Hit your ball here. It's like, it's like such
an insensitive. Do it like, whoa, fuck it says on the ticket, you know, no, you didn't fight on you.
I mean, it's pretty brutal. It's fucking brutal. It's not fair for you guys, though. Like,
if a guy hits a home run in a baseball game and someone's not paying attention and
catches a baseball off the chin. Yeah, exactly. No one feels bad about that.
Nobody cares. When you guys accidentally hit it with, there's no lining, there's no board,
There's no netting.
It's just balls going at hundreds of miles an hour
whipping at these people's knees and head.
But you're the fuck.
You're the asshole for hitting the fucking guy
because you didn't hit the fairly the 23 yards wide.
Exactly.
I mean, I don't get it.
You named any other sport the fucking people are getting hit left and right.
And it's like, I don't know what fuck.
You know, that's just what it is.
It says on a ticket.
But if we do it, like you're a fucking asshole.
If you throw like a golf ball size rock at someone at like 15,
miles an hour, you are considered like a terrorist and you guys are hitting golf balls
180 miles an hour just had crowds of people.
It's unbelievable.
I mean, think about it.
You know, when a guy hits a foul, right, a guy, you know, right hitter hits a foul ball
out there and it gets kind of, you know, in between the right field and first base.
The guy doesn't yell, watch out, you know, but nobody gets mad at him.
No.
Right?
No.
If we don't yell it, I mean, and nobody's, you know what fucking loud.
You got to yell, by the way.
To have to hear you from 320 yards.
Think about that.
It's not like you're yelling 15 feet.
You're only 300 and some yards if the fucking guy is actually listening and paying attention what's going on.
Totally.
They're like chatting.
They're looking at their phone.
They're trying to see.
Oh, who's coming up next?
Take a fucking picture, bro.
I mean, they don't.
Boom.
Just smokes.
They got to have like a horn or like a voo-vo zala set up on every T-box.
For you guys to run.
For you guys to run.
to and just blow into it.
I actually told H.
I told H.
you need to start carrying a whistle.
I think a whistle would work,
you know,
or somebody that yells fire,
you know,
where people actually pay attention.
But yeah,
I mean,
you're talking about something
that takes off the club.
Then there's a reaction
because it's offline.
You're pissed anyway.
They're like,
oh, fuck.
It's going towards somebody.
And by the time you yell,
you're talking about,
you know,
but you're talking about like six seconds.
Yeah.
Right?
And then someone 320
yards away that's not listening anywhere or paying attention is going to hear you go oh fuck you know i mean
it's i mean bryson's probably getting a little actually it's probably not getting a bad deal because
if you're actually aiming at the people and you're not saying something then that's a fucking dick that's a
fucking dick move tell so tell me about um what's going on with bryson getting heckled how do you feel
because we talked about the last show it's kind of the question is like is it is it now crossing the line
People yelling Brooksie at him.
People, they kind of, I guess, heightened the audio when he hit the ball in the water on, like, 12 or 11, whatever it was last week.
And people were, nice shot, Bryson.
Like, maybe you spend it too much time in the gym, Brooksie.
They're screaming at him nonstop.
Do you think as a, you know, because any other sport, right, if you're like Alexander Ovechkin gets booed every time he touches the puck, like you hear some brutal shit.
Golf clearly you do not.
Is it like, is it too much?
Is it a significant disadvantage?
What do you think as somebody that's been inside the ropes forever?
I don't know.
I don't know what he's going to do about it.
You're not going to shut them up, that's for sure.
So next week it's only going to be worse because, you know, New York, they love, you know, they're vocal.
And that's fine.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know when it's going to go away.
I don't know if, if, or I didn't watch a shot last week, you know, from Memphis.
so i'll really know but um man it's it's been quite a shitstorm for him with this brooks and
brooks and brice and thing you know i wish they'd almost say like say hey let's have a match
let's just have a fucking match whoever wins the other guy's got to shut the fuck up and suck on
it for a year the other you know the other guy he gets worn out but no one's really going to
wear up brooks though that's the thing brooks is like the guy's guy
You know what I mean?
And I think that's where Bryce is kind of disadvantaged.
He's all about golf.
He's just trying to do his business.
He just wants to be a great golfer.
This man.
Brooks is more, you know, a guy's guy.
You know, he just got engaged.
He's having fun.
He's got four majors.
He's made a fucking ton of bread.
You know, he's having fun in life.
And Bryce is trying to, like, get back to where the hell he was when he won the U.S.
Open.
So I don't know.
I don't see it going away.
only see the New Yorkers having some fun with them next week.
And I just don't, I don't see it calm down any time soon.
Do you think, like, in general on tour, among tour players, is there a sentiment of, like,
people enjoying to a degree, Bryson getting so much shit because he thinks he's doing it
better or different or that he's, he's figured out some answers that none of you other guys
have figured out, right?
like it feels as an outsider that there's at least some sentiment among a lot of the players of like
this fucking guy thinks he's coming in playing with single leg irons and he's sprits and golf balls
and he's doing he's swinging harder he's changing like his fucking nervous system so he could hit it farther
like guess what dude like you haven't you don't have all the answers and therefore those people
would be in some way kind of enjoying
that that person who thought he had all the answers is finding out he doesn't really have all the answers.
The only thing I can really say on the whole deal is until you beat Tiger doing whatever he did,
and if you've done a different way and be Tiger, then your way is better.
That is one way I can look at.
I've always looked at it that way.
I don't give a shit what anybody does, how they train, how they practice, how they eat, how they find.
I don't even fuck about any of that.
if you don't have Tiger's records,
then you're ever done anything.
That's my opinion because I'm the same age as Tiger.
I've seen all these kids come up.
I've seen all the grades,
all these next great whatevers are supposed to be.
There's still the fucking cat who has everything.
I mean,
the guy has only played how many years in the last 10
and he still holds all the fucking records?
I mean, think about that.
Think about if he was like me where he just,
you know,
he just played his 20th straight year on top.
tour.
Fucking guy would have 700 wins.
You know, I mean,
think about it. This guy has been
hurt and had all this bullshit go on
and he still
has all the stuff that everybody's chasing
and will forever as far as I'm concerned.
But nonetheless,
I don't
like the fact when you think
you have all the answers, you think you're
smart at everybody.
I don't like that.
I don't like that because
and let me tell you something I would
fucking never do, which
pissed me off when he actually did it.
I would never go after my main sponsor and say,
these guys are fucking, basically saying these guys are fucking assholes that can't make
me a driver.
Okay, well, you're going, what he needs to do is go after a company like Crank,
a company that makes long drive drivers.
Cobra does not make long drive drivers.
They make clubs or people that swing like me, okay?
they do not they cannot catch up to his fucking bullshit with the five degree drug when you miss a driver at five degrees by the way and it's anything in this department that fucking thing's going that way when you swing and your ball speed 200 miles an hour look at the long drive contest
riggs i guarantee you boys all you boys have watched the long drive contest at some point how many ball why do you think they give them fucking eight balls and then of the eight balls how many are actually findable like two maybe they take off that way
okay there's a reason why when a guy can actually win a bunch of long drive
concepts it's like a goddamn miracle it could actually get a ball in play at 240 miles an hour
is unbelievable it's unbelievable now bryson went down that round because he thought that
you know he needed the distance all this other bullshit now where's the fucking driver from u.s open
where's the driver from bay hill he just won bay hill in march a few months ago that seemed to
work everybody fucking was raw raw when you fucking do this bullshit on six right where's that
driver so you cannot go after your company if i was co-operative said you can go fuck yourself you're
out i'm kind of surprised that they didn't i mean they they there i i would if i was
co-brick did they sort of were like what the bullshit they said like how are we supposed to
keep up every day he has a different degree and he's trying to achieve speeds
ball speed and like swing speed that we just can't keep up with like one
day we sent it to him and the next day he has a new loft and a new and a new swing speed so like
what are we supposed to do no way i mean like his right-hand man there called him like an eight-year-old
cry baby i know those guys at cobrough i can promise you between him and his coaches and even tim
who took off finally he couldn't fucking take anymore those guys worked their fucking dicks off now
if i all of a sudden put on 35 pounds and i got my ball speed of 205 and i called mr bob parsons
i said bob i got a lot more fucking speed you know i'm getting ready to come into jams and
January in four months. I'm going to have 25 more ball speed. Can we work on something that's
going to work with that? Bob, I'm going to fuck you out. Let's do it. But never would I ever go,
fuck Bob Parsons and fucking PhD and all this other bullshit. These guys are, you don't do it.
These guys at Coburn have worked their ass off to help him, you know, get his deal. You don't
go after the sponsors. You know, I don't give the fuck. What kind of mood you're in or what
you think or whatever. If the company's putting that kind of work with you in time,
you don't wear them out on national television and embarrass them like they've done nothing.
Right. Bryson doesn't. I do know over 20 years.
Yeah. Bryson doesn't have very many friends or allies right now. The last thing you need to do
is be burning a bridge of a sponsor. Of a sponsor. Your main sponsor, no less. You know,
and thankfully, I've got four unbelievable sponsors. And if I got, you know, not that I've had a problem
them but if I do, I go, hey, let's try to make this the best because I'm a team guy.
Well, hey, how can we make this better?
Let's let's get this going.
I'm going to interview with someone goes, hey, you know, what do you think about that?
Ah, that's fucking bullshit.
It sucks.
No, you don't do it.
You just don't do it, you know.
And that was embarrassing is all hell at the British Open with Bryce and did for
COBRA.
I mean, after all they've been through him, the guy, when you're going to, you're going
embarrass him like that, it's terrible.
It's troubles.
I love how your responses are all so perfect for you.
Who is it against PXG, Jordan?
Who is that?
What's the...
I've got...
I've got William Murray, I've got MGM resorts.
I've got PXG, and I've got...
What I said?
William Murray, PXG, Jordan, and it fuck's the other one.
I don't know.
You said it.
MGM.
Oh, you got it.
You got all four.
You got it.
Yeah, you got all four.
four, just saying only three each time, but you got all four.
But it's just so perfectly like Pat Perez.
Like, it's almost like, I don't know how that came to fruition.
It's almost like you had a team sit together and like mold your, like, what are all your
likes and what are like all, all the things that people know about you?
And they just got to get them all.
I did them all.
I worked, I worked to get them all and I got them.
You know, I do my own stuff.
I do all my own stuff.
But I only, I'm only going to be.
20 years in now, I'm only going to be with companies that I love the people that are there
and I believe in what they can do and they're like family with me. So I'm only going to be
with people like that going forward because I don't want to say it's not about the money
because that's fucking bullshit, but it's about the people that are in the company that you're with.
If the people in the company suck, then I don't want to be with them. I actually know
and void the contract earlier in the year because I didn't believe in the product and then the guy
wanted to be a fucking psycho, so I got out of that.
But, you know, like, you know, Bob Parsons, unbelievable man.
You know, Lance Evans and his team at MGM are incredible.
You know, William Murray, you know, Bill Murray.
I mean, I'm in business with Bill Murray and Michael Jordan.
So good.
I mean, really?
I mean, really?
Does it fucking, I mean, do I even have to explain it?
I mean, it is.
It's actually funny that the way that you have set up yours seems radical when that's actually
how it should be because it's just things that you like.
It's everything I love.
That's what's amazing.
It's everything I love.
So it's easy.
I couldn't be any luckier.
I literally cannot be any luckier.
I'm coming in my 20th season, and I literally have it.
I got it by the balls.
I never thought I would have some,
I never thought I'd have this kind of life.
Somehow I do.
I'm grateful every day for it.
I've got, you know, amazing family, you know, fans.
I mean, it's amazing.
It's amazing to think that I have people actually care about me outside of my family,
you know, about my golf.
I mean, my dad just had quintuple bypass surgery three days ago.
How's he doing?
He's doing great.
He's home.
He's great.
But, I mean, the outloving, you know, the outcry and the love and the support we felt for the last five days has been fucking incredible.
The golf world is so amazing in that way because, you know, there's a lot of memes.
There's a lot of bullshit that goes on and jokes about that.
But when you, you know, you put something serious out there like your dad had, Quinn Tumple,
bypass, the world comes
again like, hey man, you know,
we're pulling for you.
We, you know, we love your dad.
I mean, it's fucking, it makes you feel
really cool when
something like that happens. Like all the jokes
aside, all the bullshit and
someone, you know, it's a serious matter.
It's your father. You know, everyone's got a father.
You know, it's like, it's a serious
deal. And it was fucking cool
that everybody, you know,
gave us well wishes and, you know,
because so many people know my dad, because
been the starter at the Farmers Insurance Open out for 30 plus years.
I mean, it's incredible.
He knows everybody.
And I was even going to reach out to Tiger because, you know,
Tiger looks at him.
He gives him a hug every time and sees him.
And, you know, if it was going to go south, I was going to send Tiger a message.
Hey, man, I need a, you know, I need a fucking video for my dad.
And I guarantee he would have done it.
You know, Tiger and we're not the close to friends and we don't have to be.
But he loves my dad and, you know, and they give him, you know.
But it's shit like that that makes, you know, life, you realize how precious it is,
but also how small the golf world is.
You know, the golf family, it's, it's small.
It's small.
So to make enemies in it is fucking stupid.
How old's the baby, Pat?
She's almost three.
The boy is coming, three weeks.
Boy's three weeks out right now.
Wow.
He's actually supposed to be.
was supposed to come Thursday of
next week.
Okay.
Was supposed to, but the doctor said,
you got to wait until September 1.
Ash is a little hesitant,
and I said, you're fucking waiting.
He's conscious of the playoffs.
He wants to make sure Dad's going to get through the course.
God, if I can say I've got on a decent love next week,
and I never really played Liberty National that well.
I love it.
I play with the fireman.
It's the first time that they opened it.
I mean, it's such a cool joint effect.
Get that fucking status.
Liberty right there.
I mean,
and then you got New York.
I mean,
it's such a,
it's such a cool joint.
I mean,
it's such a fucking great joint.
You know,
being up in that part of the world
is just phenomenal,
but it's going to be cool.
It's going to be cool.
I can't,
I can't wait.
How do you feel about your game going in?
My game's a lot better than it was seven weeks ago.
Seven weeks ago I thought about quite a gossiping.
Come on.
I was in probably one of the worst spots I've been.
Fuck,
I can't even tell you how long to be honest with him.
and you just wasn't you know
Drew and I just weren't really clicking
and you know I saw Claude
I saw Claude of Congaree
and I said hey man I didn't have fucking help
and he helped me
and literally every day now I've hit it
unbelievable and he's helped me
not only get into the playoffs which I really didn't think
was possible but now I don't even have to
go to this week at Windham because
I'm so far inside the number
that you know I'm so looking
forward to like the next 15 years
of my life.
With this kind of knowledge, I can't tell you,
the excitement is through the roof.
I'm just, I'm just really excited.
I mean, I'm not saying I'm going to win next week or even get to the second
playoff because we started so late, but I think next year,
you know, I've got such a different mindset of kind of where I want to be.
And, you know, I've got like this new purpose in life, you know,
with a new boy coming and baby coming, you know,
a new golf game.
I guess that's a whole new vision of like what's going to happen to now in 60.
I can't wait.
Wow.
Let's go.
That's amazing.
What's the go right now.
Come on, Pat.
P.
P.
Can you let some of this information out?
Like, what's this like new look on the golf game?
Like, is it?
Nets.
Getting better at golf.
Trent recently got better at golf.
Is that right, Trent?
Yes, I got much, much, much better.
And a big part of that was practice.
Would you say practice helped you get better at the golf?
I'd say John Tillery was number one.
And then one B is practice.
Well, it's not easy for everybody to just practice golf because as we discuss on this show actually with Mr. Pat Perez, you're hitting a tiny ball hundreds of miles an hour, very far distances, as dangerous.
You probably don't own hundreds of yards of earth.
So it could be tricky.
Enter automatic ball return net, all right?
This thing is money, the net return.
You're going to love this thing.
You set up in five minutes or less, highly portable, no direct.
directions needed handles ball speeds of over 225 miles per hour which is not going to be you it's
got a 250,000 shot guarantee um the net return that's what we're talking about here this thing can I talk
about this thing I have it set up in my backyard all right they sent this box I sent the text
message to Trent I sent the text message to um Pilar who is working she's on a merch team and I say I didn't
know who sent this box I said who
sent me the heaviest box in the world, right?
And I'm looking at this thing. I'm like, what is this thing?
The net return. And I'm like, who
sent this to me? I'm looking at it.
I'm opening it up. It's got these pipes.
It's got these colors. It's got this netting. I'm like,
holy crap. This is a fucking golf net.
I go to their
website. There's this nice man who apparently
made the net.
It has a nice tutorial on how
to put it together. It seems
like it would be incredibly,
incredibly hard to do.
But you put color to color.
the net starts to be put together
all of a sudden you have this net in your backyard
it's got our name on it's got the four play logo
this thing's phenomenal
when I tell you
you could swing a ball
you could swing a club and hit a golf ball
harder than Bryce and Deschambeau does
and the ball will just
softly sit in the net and bounce right back to your feet
like you wouldn't even notice that this thing
was hit at 250 miles an hour
the reception of the ball
the way that it receives the ball
is a technology in which I don't know how they did it.
Because I put the net together.
I don't know how it's set up for the fact that it's so good
that the ball doesn't go through or it goes under or goes over
or it bounces back and hits you in the face, right?
Like you'd think something that you had to put together
just wouldn't be good or wouldn't be quality.
Fuck, man.
It is such a good piece of practicing.
It is such a good piece of product.
I go back there.
I was out there today hitting golf balls into it.
I was out there today hitting golf balls into it.

You know, Drew and I, we've worked forever. I love
Drew like a brother, so I'm not shitting I do it all.
I promise you.
Drew's like a brother-mate.
But we just, you know,
the information just wasn't coming around.
So I saw a clot.
He goes, I see you doing this.
I want you to do this,
which was kind of the opposite of what I did.
I started, I started to fucking feel it.
I started to hit different shots.
Like, God damn, this is what the fuck I'm looking for.
You know, where the hell is this shit been?
So I'm looking for.
And the last, you know, seven weeks,
I've been in contention four times.
And I'm like, fuck, this is where I used to.
to be. This isn't the shit I'm accustomed.
I want to be on top. I'm used to being
on top. You know, and
it's just been nice. I mean, it's not like, you know,
it's not like we've spent that much time
to get a cloud. And I, we're going to do more next year.
We're going to, you know, we're going to do, we're going to be
together for a while now. So,
but it was just information that got me in the
right spots in the swing to give me a hell
of a lot more confident what I'm doing and
hit shots, you know,
that are in play.
I mean, it's really not that complicated game
if you can make it kind of simple.
You know what I mean?
I mean, and that sounds stupid, I know, but
he made it very simple for me to hit shots and go,
fuck, I get that.
I get that.
I mean, that makes it.
Why is the fuck?
Because I never heard that before.
And, you know, I finished 10th at Congreid,
and then I went home.
I mean, I, I, I, I drank a whole bottle of work.
I couldn't believe I was so fucking excited.
I think I've done.
I think I'm going to get to these fucking playoffs.
I think I'm going to make it.
Because I've never missed a year.
This is my 20th year straight.
We'll never lose my car.
So I'm like,
fuck,
I can't believe that it's actually going to come through.
And sure shit that I finished,
I finished 10th, 11th, and 14th with him
in four weeks.
And it gave me enough points to get to
Liberty National.
You know, it was a little late at the timing of it on my part,
but at least I'm going to get there.
So I don't know if I can get to the 70, which is fine.
But, you know, I'm very excited for the next year and the years to come after that
because at least I've got another chance again.
I mean, I had literally the longest, shittiest year of my life being away from my wife and
baby and being on the road for, you know, 26 weeks just in 2001, or 2021 alone, you know,
with COVID and all the other bullshit going on and playing shitty.
It's like people don't understand the life.
of a tour player if it's not you know john ron winning u s open or fucking you know colom carl
winning fucking it's different for the guys that don't win all the time it's a long miserable
shitty road that you know but that's all i have that's all i have i don't have no skill i don't
have something that i can go out and make a couple million dollars a year doing other than this so
put that you know with the you know new baby coming and wife another baby it's like
fuck man it's real shit
it's real so
the pressure of it is incredible
but the relief that I had after
after finishing 11th
in Minnesota and having enough points
I can't tell you, me and A's went to dinner
I looked across and said can you
fucking believe that that just happened
we're done, we're set, we're in
and I fucking I laid that seat
on Delta going home
and I fucking couldn't even believe
I could not believe it but
you know I've had some miracles
in my career over 20 years
that have happened. My thing you just can't explain
that happened. At that day
that Claude helped me, because I just
happened to run into him. I happen to run into him on the rain and I said, bro, I
would love to get some help.
It was all right, let's take a look at. And then I play
with DJ 18 holes. And then DJ
Vibbivist Day with him and, you know,
we had this whole week of like, it's just all kind of like a
coming to Jesus type thing. And then I work
with like three or four of the weeks and
here I'm going to fucking Liberty National again.
And I never would have thought it was going to happen because if I stay on the same path
seven weeks ago, I'd be sitting here right now telling you what else I'm going to do in life
because the career, the golf career would have been over.
Wow.
I mean, that's how shitty is.
You start getting to a point.
Fuck, bro, I'm 45 and change.
You start thinking, goddamn, can I get the 50?
Because I have lifetime stats basically when I get to 50 on the champ tour.
But you've got to get the 50.
right it's not that easy you look at most guys careers from 45 to 50 they're shitting right i mean like
ernie riteef allen b apple b all these guys have played all these you know big president's cup and
rider cup teams they don't really have these stats like 47 50 they kind of lose it by the point like
well fuck man can i even come back can i that do that that da da da da da da da these are questions i have this
year like am i am i even going to do it anymore am i worth it can i do it can i pull us out
You know, am I too old, my fucking whatever?
These are serious things that go on when you get into the 20th year.
Plus, you stick a loss to us in there, and it's really dark days, right?
Like, we love you, but I would have taken credit for ending your goddamn career.
I really would have.
I would have been like, that guy never played golf again after he lost in a four-play.
You guys have read you how many times I hear about that?
Bro, that punt was fucking brutal on the laugh.
I got, I know what problem is that?
Yeah, I hit it.
Yeah, no.
I know. I saw it.
What else we got?
We got all kinds of shit.
I haven't talked to you guys in months.
We got so much action to happen.
Dude, we got, we got Olympic stuff.
What do you think about that?
Oh, I got one for you.
What do you think about Mr.
fucking Slovakia, finishing silver?
That's kind of a touchy subject, but not really.
I mean, I feel like not particularly liked.
What do you think?
You can't be born in South Africa.
You can't have dual citizenship in South Africa and U.S.
have a United Kingdom passport.
Maria a girl from Slovakia and all of a sudden,
fucking hold your goddamn hands up that high
because you think you want to fucking silver for Slovakia.
Now, don't get me wrong.
phenomenal plan.
61.
He showed the balls that he has
too fucking close
because that's what Rory does.
He's not afraid of shit.
Rory 17 is not afraid of anything.
But should you have been there?
That's the question.
I mean, no.
I would say just outright, no.
And the point where,
how does he even feel good about it?
Like Rory Malko even said,
I wouldn't have felt going
because I wouldn't be proud
to have the,
national anthem for England or for
Northern or for anybody.
I told everybody, you couldn't give me,
I don't know what you gave me.
You could give me nothing on this entire planet
to represent another country
other than the United States. I don't give
a fuck what you gave me. I don't care if you gave me.
It's not matter what you gave.
You couldn't give me anything to represent anything
other than the greatest country in the world where I've lived in right now
the United States of America. Nothing.
100 million dollars.
The fucking standing like this with the fucking thing playing.
This motherfucker doesn't even know what the fuck, any of the words are for the entire
fucking national anthem.
100 million dollars are not going to play for Canada?
Not a fucking chance.
Wow.
I don't need a hundred million dollars.
I know.
I got a lot of money.
I don't know 100 playing.
I got enough.
But you give me a fucking billion dollars.
I'm not going to Canada.
I'm not going to fuck Ethiopia.
I'm not going to, I'm not going anywhere.
What about you, Frankie?
You know why?
You know what?
Frankie, I got this for it because when you stand on a fucking,
when you stand on that fucking podium
and you're standing going
motherfucker I'm not from this country
but and everybody knows it
everybody fucking knows it
and it's going to feel shitty
because everybody fucking knows it
that's why you get to feel shit
when it comes to the Olympics I agree
like the Olympics are all about
like you playing for your country
and at that point
like there really shouldn't be
you shouldn't be reaching
to try and get onto a podium
trying to get into contention
the Olympics are something that's so
specific to like guys guys and girls work their fucking lives their entire lives just to just to
just to wear those track suits during that opening ceremony and i love i love the Olympics the ancient
greeks all that stuff about it i just love everything about the olympiad is my new thing i'm calling
it yeah i agree with you he should not have been able to um sing the national anthem for i mean
getting married into a country is preposterous i'm sorry like that's the fact that's just not true
the fucking guy that runs in golf.
I mean, the whole thing worked out perfor.
I got this for him.
The thing that worked out perfect for him,
where her brother was the guy that leads the fucking golf
and the whole deal, he would have never done it.
He would never done it.
I mean, everybody knows him.
He's South African.
I don't even fuck how long you live in the United States
in Dallas with his ex-wife.
He is from South Africa.
Yet none of South Africans really might
take to him because he's not
in South Africa, right? Or whatever.
But nonetheless,
I mean, he's got a United Kingdom passport, right?
He's got dual citizenship in the U.S. and fucking South Africa.
How in the hell could you possibly go and feel good about yourself being from Slovakia?
So, Frankie, to confirm the flip-flop, you're saying no to the $100 million.
I'd have to really sit down and think about that one, all right?
At first I said I'd take six figures.
I heard that.
I mean, 100 milo guys, like for, I do like Canada.
I mean, I like hockey.
But I don't know.
100 million dollars to win a gold medal in
golf for Canada?
I'm doing a heart.
What are you talking about?
I was going to say, I don't think I'm in a position to turn down a hundred million dollars.
I don't think I'm there.
I love America.
I'm a huge U.S. guy.
Don the stars and strives red white and blue all the time,
but 100 million dollars, I moved in Bermuda.
I'll move to fuck.
I don't care.
You wear an American pick?
Let me ask this question because I had a decent debate with John Rob on this.
Where do you actually put a gold medal win in the Olympics as far as wins in golf?
Like where do you guys, I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you guys had a special on this.
But where do you put that win?
You put it like a like a.
like a barracuda win
do you put it a little higher
a little lower you put it it's not
Memphis we know that it's not a fucking major
we know that it's not a gustum
so where do you guys put
a gold medal win
so we discussed it
right before the Olympics
and we had basically the exact same conversation
I think we settled on and it kind of
depended each guy but like
somewhere similar maybe to
like a PGA tour
like
Bay Hill or something of that nature.
Maybe a little higher, maybe like
for us as fans.
Not for you guys, but us as fans.
It's not even close to Bay Hill.
It's not even far as close.
So that's interesting because
we said what Riggs said, but then we said to the players,
we thought it would probably mean more, but it sounds like you
might be saying different. But Pat, are you taking like
the field into
like consideration?
First of all, there's only how many guys were there?
60. Something like that.
Yeah, I think it was 60.
How many of the 60 were in the top 200?
Not all of them.
I know that.
You know that because the two Indian guys were $500.
Okay.
And then so how many guys, how many guys, how many guys,
we know the four were in the top 10 for the U.S.
We know that.
Rom did get to go, okay?
Bryson did get to go.
DJ.
Here's how I classify this type of thing.
When you have top players in the world turning it down,
that's bad.
Okay.
Ron,
he was going to go
because he knows
that it was important
for Spain
that to the mob.
Rory only went
because
he fucking basically
got bullied into it
or guilted into it
for not playing for,
you know,
Ireland.
That we know.
Okay.
But if you look at
the other countries,
our top Americans
didn't go.
You know,
how many
top players were there?
of the 60.
Yeah.
I'm not trying to take anything away.
I'm not trying to take it away from Xander.
It's a win.
It's a win.
Would he tell you that it's bigger than winning in Memphis last week?
Not a chance of hell.
Not a chance.
But I would say like Rory came out and said that he was wrong.
Like he's like, yeah, my, you know, thoughts about it over the last four or five years,
missing it last time.
Now that I'm here and I've been a part of it.
this is one of the most special things I've ever been a part of that I changed my mind.
But special, special, and the equivalent of how big the win is are different.
It is special.
Don't get me wrong.
If you're from the right country, it's going to be special.
Like if you're from Slovakia, it's going to be special, right?
Yeah.
I would also say, though, I think it's interesting.
I would guess that for someone like,
Zander, I feel like the gold medal would be, he would take that over a lot of PGA Tour wins
because he doesn't need a lot of the stuff that you get from PGA Tour wins versus someone else
who the couple of years of status and the million and a half or two million dollars will mean more,
whereas Zander's sort of reaching a level where he's just adding up, you know, accomplishments now.
I mean, he's going to be set forever.
So I wonder how much that would factor in where like the prestige of an Olympic
big gold medal versus the actual
perks that come with winning a PGA tour event.
Like he doesn't need those perks.
He doesn't need to like have a couple years of exemptions.
He doesn't need, you know, the extra million or whatever.
He like has all this other stuff.
He's going to have all that for 20 or 30 years.
I wonder how much that would factor in.
How many major is Zander?
I was waiting for that one.
Does Zander have?
Yeah.
I know the answer.
Do you?
I know the answer, but I don't know that that has anything to do with.
How he compares a regular tour of it versus how many made this brook have?
How many made this this is his brooks have?
He's got four.
Who decided to go and who decided not to?
You see, like, this is exactly what we, I read, I read this article from Aiman Lynch last week.
It's not about reading.
It's fucking exactly that.
You're taking off, you're taking people that, like, and I'm going to quote Aiman Lynch here, like, you are taking the review of a person that never ate at the restaurant.
Because, like, you heard that maybe it's not good or maybe you went to a restaurant.
No, no, no, no.
They don't fucking care about it.
They don't care about it.
Because they've never went.
Like, Deson Johnson has never gone.
So it's like, how could you ever take his?
He doesn't fucking care about it.
Because he's never experienced it.
Like, that's the argument that we're trying to make.
It's like, Rory went and experienced it.
He's like, it's fucking awesome.
They also went.
They also got invited to go when it was fucking terrible.
There's only been two in the last, how many years, 140 years?
And they've both been fucking shitty.
There's been nobody there.
There's been nobody there.
Now, if you had full deal, they could go and watch the other sports, all the other fucking bullshit that goes on, maybe all the top players would have gone.
But they got invited in the last two times where it's the shittiest, absolute shittiest time to go to the Olympics.
So that's probably why not.
Now, the other top players, the other top athletes of the entire world of the other fucking sports, they go because they have to go at that time.
rowing, you know, sand volleyball, you know, all these other things.
They have to go because there is no other window for them.
There is no other time for them doing anything.
So they have to go.
DJ was number one in the world for a long fucking time.
He's number one, you know, again, wrong.
He got fucking this bullshit COVID thing.
So he couldn't get to go.
Deschambo, same thing.
Brooks turned it down.
Rory, reluctant to go.
You know, if you look at these things, it's not about, you know, you know, you know,
cannot compare these things to a major or winning, you know, a PJ tour event.
You cannot measure it that way.
I'm not taking anything away from Xander because he won.
But Rory finished fucking, he lost in a playoff.
So what did he get out of the whole thing?
What did he actually get?
What the fuck that he didke get?
Hadeki should have probably won.
He didn't get anything out of it.
They got memories.
They got memories for a lot of time.
We got these other two poor bastards.
Sung-Ji and Siwu
who now have to go to fucking military
because of it.
That's the stupid thing
I've heard in my life.
If you qualify,
if you want a player's championship
and you've qualified to the Olympics,
that's enough to not go to the fucking military.
Now, that's me looking at it.
Now, Sewu has to report
within two years now
and disappear.
Now, Sung-J,
Stang Moon Bay
And some you'll know
Exactly what that's like
They couldn't play dead in the western out.
They went away for two years
And these guys are literally fucking almost out of the game.
And Sang Moon,
he played the President's Cup before he left.
How was that not important enough for the country
To go, we need this fucking guy to represent our country.
This is something we all agree on, by the way.
We talked about this couple weeks ago
Where it's just like
They seem far more useful
promoting their country as one of the best golfers in the world,
as opposed to having to do mandatory military service.
I just, we pumped this guy like crazy.
He's got a podcast, but his name is Joe Rogan just had a North Korean defector on his show.
And I'm halfway through it.
Boys, there's shit going on over there on that side of the world that, like,
they may need all the bodies they could possibly get to be fighting,
like, for their, like, rights and freedom on South.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's some crazy.
shit that's going on just on that side of the world that like man i would be afraid to not go to
like that's why they are just reporting you know what i mean but i've asked but i've asked son jay
i've asked siwu and i asked sang loombe i asked all of them i said then why don't you just not go back
i said your parents are here anyway in dallas they go ah no fuck they they come with some
fucking bullshit but you know obviously when you're 26 and you're from a country
I get it.
We don't have those mandatory things like, you know.
You get like,
don't they get like ruthlessly publicly shamed forever if they do that?
They may,
but I mean,
you know,
there's different levels of people in every country,
you know,
there just is.
When you won a player's championship
and you've qualified for the fucking Olympics in a sport,
that to me means exemption for one guy.
Okay?
It doesn't mean you're going to have a thousand of those guys,
but one guy,
you just go look,
see who you're going to pay.
a 50% tax for the next three years, you know, because you're not going to do military,
so you're going to fucking fund our deal.
Okay, fine.
He would do that hard.
He'd give you 100% of the money.
I guarantee you.
I know CWU very well.
Another Claude guy, he would pay 100% of all his money to not go to this fucking deal.
But my whole point, the whole thing was I was trying to figure out where you guys thought
the Olympics was in the whole deal because when you don't, when you have top players
turning the shit down, to me, that's a sign of going, it's just not that important.
And you're so new to us, which sucks.
Like, I just think that you got to give it some time.
Like, and I think guys have to bite the bullet and just go to make it have its prestige.
The prestige of the Olympics are there.
The personal accomplishment of winning a gold medal is there.
It's just, we're always going to have the argument, like, was it enough because of the field?
And that's honestly on the guys.
That's on the guys on the PJ tour.
That's their fault.
Like you'll never get the procedure unless they just show up.
Once those guys show up, it will just be at that level that we want it to be.
It'll be like a tour event.
It'll be right there with a major.
Novak Djokovic talks about how it's the perfect ending to his career,
being able to have medals next to his Grand Slam majors because he's beating the best in the world.
It is like the best feeling to cap off your career with gold medals.
Like wouldn't that be an awesome cap off to like Rory Macquarie's career or race in Deschambeau?
But that's on them.
That's their fault for not showing up.
It's not the fucking Olympics.
I'm telling you right now, if I qualified, I'd fucking be there a heartbeat.
So I'm not taking anything away from Xander's win.
I promise you.
I'm not.
It's an incredible accomplishment.
He's going to have his entire life.
I mean, fucking ask Michael Phelps, how he's doing with his medals.
Ask him if he thinks are important.
Of course he does.
Yeah.
I know Michael very well.
I've talked about him all the time.
Of course he does.
But when it comes to fucking golf,
see swimming
you got to remember the other sports
they don't have these big
massive things we have them
every week bro we got them every
fucking week okay
we got them every week and then you have four majors
and you've got four WGCs
so when you put the Olympics in there
and you've got guys in fucking India
and all these other you know countries that
never get into a PGA tour
field it diminishes
the value of the win
whether you want to believe it or not
So, yeah, I think we're with you on that.
And Frankie's point is like, well, we have to grow it.
Like the players have to grow that experience to show it off to make it the pinnacle
because it is like in all those other sports, it is the pinnacle.
The thing that I guess it's a shame that it fell on the last two deals where nobody could go
and the fucking bullshit and all this other bullshit.
It's a shame that that's why it went down.
down that route.
You know,
everybody's working about,
worried about fucking Zika.
I mean,
not one person got fucking Zika
when they were down there.
So that's why a lot of guys
that go.
Now this time,
COVID,
oh,
the fucking testing,
that's that,
that's about.
Yeah.
Nobody had COVID while they were there.
Not one Olympian.
These are the elite of the fucking elite of the elite.
Now imagine it was that crowd.
Imagine it was the best of the world.
One through 50 in the top world rank
is we're all in the Olympics.
And the guy from India ended up winning.
How amazing of a story.
It would be.
amazing right that's like that is why it would be worth it to keep i want to see i want to see the top
50 in the right world they have to look like the olympics are like hey we have this event come and they're
just like no like we'll never get there like it's well and i asked i ask you know i i know these guys
so well dj brooks these other i'm like why the fuck would you guys not go but see why would
rory pay it's like ah fuck you know he's basically paying like ah fucking being forced to go see
Lowry, he couldn't wait to go.
You know, these guys can't wait to go.
I would fucking pack, I'd go right now.
How would you change the format?
Would you change the format at all?
Like, how would you make this worth it?
Booking Tea Times.
Very cool, very fun, very exciting.
You get the boys, the crew, maybe the girls,
excited for the weekend.
You start chirping about matches, where you're going to play.
Woo!
Barstool Golf Time app.
That is the way to do it.
We curated our own app, our own application for mobile devices to
book tea times. Not only can you book the tea times, but you can leave reviews, you can post
photos, you can post your own videos of said golf courses so that your fellow golfers, your friends
out there, can take that advice, book tea times accordingly, and then leave their own reviews as well.
And you get rewards for doing it, gentlemen. And there's weeks that will come out with different
specials, right? When Trent broke 100, there was the Breaking 100 special where if you if you book
within that time frame or if you booked a certain amount of golf rounds during that time frame,
we rewarded you with extra points.
We have said many times that if you are a golfer and you're going to be playing golf and booking
tea times, it is as simple as just downloading the correct app where you're going to be getting
rewards for it.
We are going to be giving out rewards.
I've often said that I will have a nice Italian dinner at Borrelli's waiting for whoever
ends up with the most points at the end of the year subject to if you're a weirdo and I don't
want to deal with you. But if you're a normal person and you end up being the winner, I will play
golf, we'll go to Borrelli. There's going to be a lot of things that we can now, there's a lot of
incentives for just playing golf. Like, you're going to book a tea time anyway. Download the Barstool
Tea Time app. It's as simple as that. It is that simple. It's kind of crazy if you wouldn't do it.
You'd be a moron. Book your tea time now by downloading our new Barstool Golf Time app available now
in the app store. In my opinion, it should be a team form.
at anyway. We have, we have enough single events in our deal, you know, but you look at
like swimming, right? You got, you got, you got butterfly, you got fucking freestyle, you get all
these fucking deals, and then you got the four-man fucking relay, which everybody loves.
I fucking love that more than anything. The track and field, you know, four, you know,
four by a hundred relay. I mean, I love that shit.
Actually, the best thing is the synchronized. The synchronized I had to, I couldn't
fucking find anybody to do what I do
dumbing off a dive board, but nonetheless.
But see, those are the
kind of things that makes the Olympics great, because
it's a sports you don't see all the time.
We have 48
tournaments on the PGA
tour, okay? So
you're just kind of watching
another sport.
That's like, that's my gripe with it.
It feels like what we see
50 times a year.
And at some level, it's like,
All right, mix it up.
Why don't they do what they do in college?
It should be like two or three days of stroke play.
You have stroke play individual champions.
And then you get to like a match play with 16 teams and you narrow it down to one.
That'd be fucking awesome.
My counterpoint to that is when MJ was with the Olympics and they were winning gold.
People loved it.
It's the same fucking sport they watch 81 times a year on the same team.
That's just because the best players in the world went there, dominated.
And it was like the biggest thing of all time.
Isn't amazing if USA basketball team can send their fucking C team and still win?
That's what's unbelievable.
It's amazing how good that that fucking sport is in our deal.
And the women's is even more dominant.
The women's basketball team is the most dominant sport in the Olympics.
What I would say is the, the, my counter would be like, it'd be like, to me, Frankie,
it'd be like if those same teams from the NBA went and just played as the same teams against the same teams,
like seven games over two weeks.
Because they're watching a bunch of great players
who you normally wouldn't see play together.
Right.
Whereas what's different about that
is that they're actually like different players playing together.
What's different?
Why do you think that the Ryder Cup
and the President's Cup are the most,
literally the most watch thing by each country
because it's such a different deal
because you see team coming together.
That to that, dot, da, dot, dot.
If the Olympics was that way,
it would be the same way.
you've got you've got a few individuals and that's about i want to see a different
rick what you said is like perfect you do a qualifying you do like a 16 man deal like every other
sport does the Olympics it would be phenomenal we've already got 50 not 50 we do have 48 tournaments
coming up there are there's one match play deal so there's 49 tournaments of single individual events
The Olympics needs to be completely different.
Completely different.
I like that.
Yeah, and they made that format.
Like, they just invented that format in college, basically, for TV.
And it is delivered.
Like, the college.
It's phenomenal.
The women's in the middle.
The way it finishes up is awesome.
Yeah, we won national 96.
Tiger won the individual.
It's like nobody really cared about, I don't know, I don't even wrong.
I'm not saying they don't care of it.
They kind of care, but it wasn't as big as Tiger winning the individual as it was us
winning the team.
because the team got together,
Tiger went and fucking grabbed, you know, himself
because he was by himself.
The team thing is the deal there in the fucking in,
in, uh,
dude,
in the college,
you have them like hooting and hollering from the greens.
They're like hooting and hollering back to their players behind them,
like doing their school.
You know,
I remember like the Mississippi State girls were like doing the bark back to their,
like everybody's going crazy.
So that type of environment feels like golf is missing that in the Olympics.
Like the most camaraderie that you get.
is in the practice route when they like play practice rounds together.
The PJ, we are missing that.
We are missing that a lot, first of all, because people associate with that kind of stuff.
Because everything that, you know, basically the fan watch is a team deal.
Like right now, they're watching their training camps to see where their team's going to be
coming up because the first game is tomorrow, you know, preseason game and all that stuff.
That's the kind of stuff.
Like I said, when Tiger walked off and won the national champions,
He just kind of went to his car and left.
I got to celebrate with my coach and four other players,
and we had a fucking hell of the time,
even though Tiger felt better because he beat the shit out of all of us.
But there's very few times in this sport, our sport is two individual.
But if you can make it, you know, like I watched the rolling,
the first two days of the Olympics.
I'm like, fuck, all four of those girls are together.
They're all together.
They're all rowing.
They're fucking ass off and this and that.
when you start watching individual sports,
you know, I'm involved in individual sport.
And when it comes to golf,
we have 47 individual events every year.
The last thing you want to fucking watch
is another individual events.
The Olympics should be a team event.
If they don't like it, you know what?
I don't have to tell you.
But I actually think that they would be,
I think there would be more people would be behind them.
Yeah, I agree with that.
What do you think?
I agree with that.
I think, I think, I think,
I think we got some answers there.
I think that was the right way to go.
And I'm not putting down the Olympics.
I'm not putting down the Olympics. I'm not putting down the standards.
It's a great win.
He's going to have a medal his entire life.
I just don't put it up there with a major or a WGC or a FedEx win or anything like that
because the field is just not there.
In my opinion, he beat 15 players.
That's my opinion.
But that's actually who he beat was 15 players.
What did you think about all the talk with the, like a lot of people,
I think because a lot of Olympic fans,
Maybe it's like their first time watching a lot of golf or something.
They said that the caddy should be getting a gold medal as well.
Fuck, no.
Until you hit a shot, you get a fucking metal.
That's a good call.
Yep.
I mean, we said like the caddy doesn't get a fucking green jacket.
The problem with a lot of these guys today,
they think they're so fucking cool and special because they're making so much money.
That's the difference in what's going on.
You know, the Tony DeVarro's the guys are back in the day,
the Steve Williams,
the guys that fucking, you know, worked their ass off and made like a $15,000 check because the money wasn't there until Tiger came in.
They're the same guy.
But the fact these guys are making so much money today, they think they're so special because they're making so much money.
You're no different than the caddies back in the 80s, Bruce Edwards of the day, right, with Tom Watson.
He was a phenomenal caddy, right?
You know, but these guys think they're so cool because they're making so much bread.
And, you know, they think they're like a different level.
I'm making so much money.
I'm fucking different.
No, you're not.
You haven't hit a shot yet.
You haven't hit a shot.
I mean, I got a pissing match with Steve Williams one day.
You know, I play a Paxhaw a Tiger.
He's like, oh, fuck, you think you're fucking, da-da-da.
You know, all you want is to Bob Hope.
I said, you know what, Steve?
I won one more fucking tournament that you have.
I said, you know what difference in me, Steve?
I don't hear every fucking shot that week.
I said, fuck, I can get anybody cat at the tiger.
At the time?
At the time.
This is like 15 years ago.
This is like 09, right?
I said, fuck, I can anybody catch the tiger.
This is the greatest players ever walk the earth.
Right?
I said, I've won one more than you.
I hit every fucking shot.
You stand over here and watch your boy fucking flag it every time.
So, yeah, I've only won the hope.
And if you want to qualify that, that's fine.
But I said, I hit every fucking shot that week.
Really glad I'm really glad you done.
I'm not saying, you should have got my boy.
My boy age is the fucking best.
That motherfucker has been with me from the start.
But you know what?
He never thinks he's too big for business.
He never thinks he's too fucking cool.
But he's family.
And I'm not really talking to shit about the caddies,
but there are some out there.
I'm not going to mention names tonight.
But there are some guys that really think they're fucking incredible
because their player is amazing.
A few more glasses of whiskey.
We might be able to get some caddy names.
We might get there.
If we stay on a few more hours, it'll happen.
I mean, you're just, yeah, you're, like, everyone thinks that.
I mean, at some point, like, you just know that.
The guy's not fucking playing.
And if he's getting cocky or he's getting crazy, it's ridiculous.
I mean, there's always a level that caddy can get to, right, of, like, of respect when it comes to, like, how much they actually put into the win.
Right.
And I think, the good caddies know that.
Like, um, they don't know.
They don't know that.
They don't know that.
But, Frank, you were right.
That question originally, the Olympic, the question, should they get a medal?
That came from non-golf people who are.
watching.
There's no fucking chance in hell that those guys should get a medal.
Not a chance in hell.
Same reason they don't get a green jacket or a piece of the youth trophy.
Yeah, did fucking Steve Williams get a fucking green jacket?
No.
Should you have gotten to pocket square?
Maybe.
And nobody's shitting on caddies.
If you want a green jacket, go play in the Masters and win the Master.
Pat has now stood up and walked away.
I'll tell exactly what the fuck Steve Williams should get right here.
He hates Steve Williams.
I love Steve Williams.
I do.
Here you get a fucking clock.
Damn, that thing's a nice.
You get a clock.
Is that set to the right time or what?
It's master's clock.
It's always the right time.
It's always the right time, no matter what it says.
That's what you get.
You get a fucking master's clock.
That master's clock is sweet.
And,
Rick, like you were saying,
we're not diminishing the caddies in any way.
No, no.
I am not.
But if you think you deserve a gold medal,
then go win a gold medal.
I have not to miss you.
All my friends have great caddies.
There are great caddies on the tour now.
They've worked their fucking ass off.
They do a great job.
My boy is the fucking best.
So I'm not to miss you guys at all, but you know what?
He would not expect a fucking, you know, gold medal.
Right.
He would not expect a gold medal.
And the Olympics are great, but you know what?
Should golf be in there?
I actually don't know.
to be honest with the whole deal because we have world events we have world events all the time
think about it we always we have world events we have four world events every year that are
i mean infinitely better feel every time we have them other than the olympics so that is my argument
on the thing is it a great win no i don't think it's that great a win i just i just gotta highlight it more
like let's like let's get us let's get a place where the olympics are at where the course like runs through all the olympic stadiums or like it's right there where you can see like the baseball stadium and the swimming like the awkward way right that's what i mean like it's in the city with a thousand fans let's get the top players period from all the countries if we can get all the top players and if we can get top players that don't turn it down because oh fuck i've got like a four or five week stretch coming up or
You know, Vakabata.
I mean, Ron wasn't even that upset.
He wasn't even that pissed.
He's like, oh, I got fucking next week.
He took a three-week break.
He didn't play last week in Memphis.
He's like, oh, I got fucking all the playoffs coming up.
I got Ryder Cup coming up.
I got all this shit.
You know, why?
Because the Ryder Cup means more of those guys than anything.
The Limbinson means shit.
The Ryder Cup, to beat the United States,
means more than anything to those European players.
I promise you.
Pat, you ever got it, boy?
Your caddy, you ever got your caddy anything, like outside of just, like, money payments?
Like, I know, uh, kids, I think kids one time, like, I don't know if it was like a truck or something
for Dewey that he, like, got as part of a tournament that he, like, gave to Dewey, or you ever,
maybe even like an apology, ever been like a dick and you got got him something?
That's like, uh, I never, I've never, I've never a dick to him because he's, he's a fucking best.
But when I won, I won my first term, I got him a, I got a, I got a rammed truck.
I got a rammed truck.
I feel like that's a big cat.
Caddies love trucks.
Well, I think, so I won.
I'll do your truck. I mean, it was a Chrysler tournament, right?
So I turned in my Chrysler and my boy down here, Jay.
I said, bro, I got to get my boy a truck.
He loves trucks.
He got a Ford 150.
It was fucking terrible.
I said, we got to get him a tundra.
He goes, all right, give me the car.
I'll fucking take care of it.
And we've got him a tundra.
But I have, you know, I bought him a Rolex.
You know, but I have another thing in plan.
I can't really, I can't really talk about another thing
and plan for him, but
let me put this. My boy, when he's done,
I'll not have to worry about a lot.
But you also talk about a guy that
with the longest,
with the longest commander-in-chief group
of anybody.
I mean, I went to high school.
I met this guy in 1990.
Okay?
He kind of for me in U.S. junior, junior,
Rams. He kept me in US AM qualifiers. He kept me in college. He's carried for me professionally. This is going to be our 21st year. This is not just some fucking smow off the goddamn street. I mean, this is my guy. So I have a thing in place for him that when we get the champ tour, he's going to be very fucking happy.
That's amazing because you have such a eccentric, like in your face personality. I'm so surprised.
that someone's been able to,
you guys have been able to mesh, right?
I mean,
you're probably even surprised at this point.
Frankie,
we couldn't be any more fucking opposite.
I mean,
I will drink until I fall over.
This motherfucker will never do.
You know what I mean?
This motherfucker,
he carries a king,
he puts a camera in the goddamn bass
in case somebody cuts him off.
I don't want to,
I don't want a fucking camera
because when I run some of my hammer,
I don't want any fucking video up.
You know what I mean?
That kind of thing.
I mean, it's like,
it's so,
We're so opposite to joke.
It couldn't be any more opposite.
But he's the fucking greatest human being there is on the planet.
Everybody loves him.
You know, he's just the fucking best.
My wife loves him more than me.
I guarantee it.
And that's perfect.
But you know what?
We're a rare breed.
I mean, these poor caddies, you know,
there's some great caddies out there to get rins left and right for who even knows what reason.
You know what?
it's just
there's not a lot of guys
like me out there
I promise you
I fucking promise you
where did you
make of the
of the Tim Tucker
Bryson thing
I think Tim Tucker won
and I said
I said if Tim Tucker
Tucker leaves
after when Tim Tucker left
I said
I don't think
Bryce can do this
on his own
but so far right
and that's not a shot
to Bryson
you know what
because I think
Bryson
I think Bryson's
phenomenal player
I think he's got
you know, I think he has a bright future head of him.
But Tim Tucker was his fucking anchor.
H is my anchor.
If age leaves me, I know I can't fucking do it.
I don't think Bryson realized that he can't do it without his fucking anger.
Right.
You need people like that.
You know,
you might not like Bryson wasn't realize it,
but you need people like that.
He might be realizing that now.
You're never fucking bigger than your team.
If you think you're bigger your team,
you're going to
fucking lose.
I got news for you.
You know what?
It's just the fucking way it is.
I think,
I think Bryce's phenomenal player.
I think he's had a hell of a stretch.
I don't know how long that stretch is going to last.
But, you know,
I just don't know.
Tim Tucker is, you know,
a hell of a nice guy.
Phenomenal guy.
I think he got pushed to the edge,
and that was it.
He's like,
fucking I'm out.
And when he left,
I'm like, I don't know if this fucking guy can do all this show on his own.
And sure is shit, what we've seen so far,
why she can't do it on his own?
So I don't know, I don't know if there's been an offer made back to bring him back,
but I would make the fucking big offer to get his ass back.
That's what I would do.
Okay, Marshall Classic, we only got five left.
We've got 22 down, five to go, and we have to give, well,
we just have to talk about how much fun everybody's been having.
and drinking truly hard seltzer all summer long.
These puppies are delicious.
They got 16 flavors, 100 calories, 5% ABV,
so you know you're going to have yourself a good time.
I'm telling you, these lemon teas,
which basically tastes like, you know,
it tastes like an Arnold Palmer, you know,
with a little bit of, with a little bit of ABV in them.
They got these, the fruit punch series that came out.
They got, this is the citrus punch, which is really good.
And then the OGs, the wild berries been my favorite for a very long time.
but they got so many different flavors.
They're great for being on a golf course.
They're great for a boat, for a bar, for a patio, maybe a deck, maybe a roof deck.
Roof decks are big in New York.
Truly's the answer.
This stuff's awesome.
They just nailed it.
They just nailed it when it comes to the Seltzer game.
They also have the extra eight, right?
The harder.
Truly extra, baby.
Eight percent in that puppy.
And you could see in our recent YouTube video with Brady Shea and Vinny Letary and Brock Nelson
Anders Lee, they're in the cart drinking the extra.
extras and like Vinny at one point looked at like Brady is like oh that looks good he goes yeah
8% alcohol too and they were like they couldn't believe it that it just tasted like a regular
truly a little bit of a bigger can a little bit more alcohol in there so I was I'm a big fan
of truly truly truly is a really good product I mean it's really hot still in New York there's
nothing better than cracking open an ice for hot beverage it's just it's just out there on
the course I know I agree and it's just nice to have a truly on ice you pop it out of that
freaking cooler and you sip it out of that can.
It feels like you're drinking an Arnold Palmer.
It's just, it's got that kick to it.
They're so good, man.
Truly just, truly's great.
I've watched so many people have fun drinking Trullies this year.
So a big thanks to them coming on, Barstool Classic.
It's our seltzer.
It's the seltzer of Ford Play.
Go get some Trullies.
Sixteen flavors, all kinds of different ones to please, to satisfy everybody.
You can try them.
5% ABV.
Only 100 cows.
Truly hard salter.
All right, I got one for you, Pat.
So I saw, I think yesterday, last couple of days,
this tweet's been making the rounds in the golf world.
This guy, Jeremy, I think it's points in O.
He's a blind golfer, got his handicapped down to nine.
Blind golfer.
I think he was like 19 years old.
He lost his eyesight, which is obviously terrible.
So I looked it up, our very own Frankie Borrelli,
is an 8.5, I believe, handicapped index.
So who do you think?
would win in a match this blind Jeremy.
Jeremy was a three before he went blind, so I mean, he was a stick.
That's fair point.
So he knows he's blind.
I mean, he can't, you can't see.
Is he a New York, is he a New York Islander fan?
No, I don't think so.
Where's this guy from?
Then he wins, that he wins on Mackle.
Am I crazy?
I think he might have tweeted at me the other day.
Oh, yeah, we've been talking.
talking about this guy for years, man.
I'm not on Twitter, so I don't know what I'm going on there.
Well, we originally had a debate like, Rory McElroy, where was he in Dubai?
And he was like, I could play this golf course like the back of my hand.
I could play it blindfolded, he said.
That's all false.
I took that very seriously.
I said, no, you couldn't.
He wouldn't even make the cut.
Frank, you're right.
You're goddamn right there.
So we got into this whole debate.
No, you couldn't fucking play blindfolded.
You need to see the golf ball.
We, everyone on this show, Riggs was like, he could.
If you just place the ball in front of him, he knows where it is.
I'm like, what happens?
He's in a fucking bunker.
Which, the Jeremy guy, though, does have that.
He has, like, a, I looked it up.
He has, like, a guide.
He has, like, a guide who points him in the right direction.
And then he just-
When Jeremy comes out of the clouds, once we're arguing about this,
he's like, actually, I can't see shit.
And I shot, like, a 74 last week.
And we're like, well, now, what the fuck?
Like, who the fuck is this guy?
So now he's coming back into the fold because he just got into single digits.
It's been his, like, life goal.
to prove everyone wrong, which is awesome.
Shout out to Jeremy.
I'll play him in a match.
And if I lose, I have to go away forever, I guess,
because, like, you can't lose to a blind guy in golf.
Also, we're going to have to figure out, like, the rules.
Can he just be, like, set up?
Can I have a caddy set me up to, like,
you can have a putt?
You can have him.
I got this for him.
I have friends all over the world that got sent him up right down the fucking middle,
and that ball and go down the middle.
So it's a lot more than just fucking set up.
I got this for him.
Well, a shout out to him for being able to fucking have a nine handicapped.
You know what?
I'll take him on my team instead of the fucking owner or something.
I'll take him.
Me and him are going to play you four.
Oh, my God.
Now, what hell are you guys actually coming out?
Riggs, I know you're here.
When are we going to do this?
Well, look, I'm here.
We actually can play this weekend if you're around.
I'm back in Arizona for the first time.
I'm playing Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
So any day you want.
Let's play this weekend.
And then we're also going to see.
you all week out at Liberty National. We're going to be there
all week, the whole squad. You know it's coming to follow me
on, I think Cici's coming out
to walk with me one day.
Really? Sabathia.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, what day you guys are you out?
So we'll be there Monday through
Friday and then we should, we got
to set up this fall.
I mean, we're pretty, you know, whatever, we're just all
over the map, but October,
November, December,
I feel like one of those times similar to last
year, we could set up the rematch.
it's Silver Leaf.
Silver Leaf is sick.
No, it's going to be sick.
We're going to see it this weekend.
Bro, we've got so much rain here,
it's fucking amazing.
How much rain we've got in the last month?
The course, by the time you guys come out,
it's going to be unbelievable.
I'm going to do it at Friday.
You want to play Friday?
Yeah, I'm in for Friday.
Amazing.
Let's do it.
It's my birthday.
I've been playing well.
I've been playing the best I've played.
Bro, your swing looks unbelievable,
and your other boy broke 100.
I don't know about the lefty yet, but I know Lourge gets his bounces, but I'm telling it.
My swing is okay right now, although there's a viral video going around of me double hitting yesterday.
It was a nasty one.
I can't believe in the science.
I mean, 85 yards out, double hit.
Never see anything really like.
The middle of the fairway.
Middle of the fairway.
It's nuts.
Terrible.
So who's going to, so one of the last points.
Who's going to win the FedEx?
John Ram.
I think John Ram's the best golfer on the planet.
He's proved it every single week.
I mean, every major you look back on,
we use this term a lot,
laugh out loud, funny that this guy's been in contention
for every major he's ever played in, essentially.
He's the best golfer in the planet.
Yes, I don't know if you saw my thing with Claude,
but that's exactly what I said,
because everybody said, oh, you know,
Claude said, who's the best?
I said, I'll give him more Cal, JT, fucking speed.
I'll give him all.
I said, Rom is the best player in the game today.
But my second point to that is that Roy McElroy is still and will be,
I don't know for how many years, he is still the second best coming I've seen the Tiger yet.
He makes the fucking game look so easy.
How that fucker doesn't win six, seven times a year, I'll never know.
but Rom is the best player
you know
don't give it wrong
DJ is fucking phenomenal
DJ's phenomenal
you know
he's my boy
but Rom
I still think is the best player
he's better Moracalla
he's better JT
speed fucking wolf
you name any young player
I don't go fuck who it is
Rom's the best player
I don't care if Markella's got two or not
it doesn't matter
Rom is going to be in the top ten
his entire career
if he does not get hurt.
You grew up with Tiger and you know Tiger like anyone.
We've talked to Morikawa a bunch now.
And one of the first things we always say every time we leave him,
we say this kid's got it.
There's something about him.
He's got this crazy confidence.
He's the most polite guy on the planet.
But he also seems like nothing.
He never waivers.
And he's proved that now.
He's winning majors.
The guy's proving it.
Do you think that he has that?
Have you seen that from him?
Do you think he has any of that mentality,
like the I'm just going to keep winning and not count and whatever I end up at the end up with.
I don't know if he has or not.
I know he doesn't have Tiger stuff.
I know that.
I think Ron has that stuff.
Wow.
You know,
I haven't been around Morikawa that much.
He's a very nice kid.
Don't get wrong.
Phenomenal player.
Very nice.
You know, maybe he's got that fuck you and him when it comes to, you know, when it needs to be.
You know, Tiger always had that fuck you.
He was like, fuck you.
I'm going to win.
And I don't give him.
a fuck about you at all. And that was fine.
Moracow is a very nice
player. You know,
I don't know if he has it or not. I don't know if he
has it or not. The other one I've seen
that has that is
John Rom. John Romm has that.
Fuck you. I mean, this motherfucker kicks
clubs, throws shit and practice
rounds at us, you know, with us a
silver leaf. You know, I mean, he gets fucking
pissed when it's a bad shot.
To me, it doesn't even bother
me. I like that because that means
he wants to get his shit right.
So I think the guy in the future, you know, is John Lowe.
I really do.
You know, I mean, Speed, Jordan, fucking Moracawa.
I mean, I don't even know.
Fucking pick him.
I don't care.
Do you think, do you ever think like Rory's almost too normal to be like as dominant as Tiger?
But I mean, like, as a person, right?
He's very, seems to like, the way he responds to questions and thinks through things about the world.
He seems to be more.
He might have other interest, not other interests, but like he is interested in other things.
More so than a Romer of Tiger Woods, right?
Like Tiger Woods was, I guess what I'm getting at is it seems like Roy has that talent that, you know, is close in some way to like the tiger.
But he doesn't have like, yeah, he's almost too human, whereas Tiger was never human.
Rory has the most talent of anybody I've seen since Tiger and I'm talking since
1994.
Rory has that kind of, he has the closest talent to Tiger I've ever seen since 1994.
Rory is too fucking nice.
He's not the prick that Tiger was or that Rom has or that fucking these other guys.
And I'm not talking about a prick like, you know, if you walk by and ask him the time,
you tell you the fuck off.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about the prick on the course.
I'm talking about the guy that wants to fucking shove your neck down your goddamn throat.
That's a guy I'm talking about.
Rom has that.
You know, Tiger had that.
Rory does not have that.
Rory is so fucking talented.
It's a joke.
Now, actually, funny enough, Brooks has that.
DJ has a little bit of that.
They want to beat your fucking ass at.
But the thing.
is it takes a certain
person to be able to actually carry it
and continue to carry it without
thinking that oh my god I don't want the world to think
I'm a fucking prick
you know what I mean? How was it
staying with DJ? You say you stay with DJ. You like him, right?
DJ's phenomenal. Fuck, my boy. He's
finally getting married. You don't know
you know what about. But
nonetheless
DJ is my fuck
DJ's phenomenal
DJ's fucking my boy
his his future father-in-law
Wayne is fucking incredible
he's taught me a lot
he's taught me a lot
but you know
the DJs the Brooks's
Rom, Tiger
the ultimate
Rory doesn't have that mental attitude
in my opinion
yeah
if Rory had a lot more
fuck you and him
he would
be he would be fucking incredible.
It's interesting.
Here you say that Brooks has it because we always go back and forth on like if Brooks
even cares about golf.
I personally,
I hate his public persona where it's like every time he loses,
he didn't care,
but when he wins,
when he wins all of a sudden.
Oh, he tried that week.
He cares.
I promise you.
He tries to have that golf is like a nerd sport and he's like,
oh, they're lucky I'm here.
No, no, no.
And I get,
I get what you're,
I get what you're talking about,
but he does fucking care.
When you win four majors,
you fucking care.
I got to do this for him.
Now,
when he loses,
he tries to act like it doesn't matter
like it's not a big deal.
It fucking matters,
I promise you.
It matters.
It matters.
Tiger had mattered all the time.
That's why he's the fucking greatest.
And I don't give a shit
of anybody who talks about anything.
He is the greatest players
ever touch the club.
Whatever has happened to him
in the last,
you know,
whatever amount of years,
is truly unfortunate.
But once again, it's done to himself.
So he really has no one to blame but himself
and what's happened, which sucks because
he should have gone down
as the greatest player that never fucking touched a club
and nobody can touch his records.
That's what sucks.
What's your general feeling on what the future looks like for him?
Hopeful, for one.
I hope to God, you know, as stubborn as he is,
as stubborn as he is, I hope to God that his fucking ankle heals.
And then he can't come back.
But, you know, I'm not going to speculate whether or not he can win again, not win again, play again.
There's Jeremy.
There he is.
What's happening?
I just don't know.
Can he win again?
This is Jeremy, the nine handicapped.
Congratulations, Jeremy.
Where is it?
Thanks, Rick.
Yeah.
So he just joined.
Where is he?
Just join the crew.
Don't go away. Don't fucking.
I got a piss.
All right.
That's perfect timing.
Pat Perez is going to take a piss, and Jeremy has joined the show.
Jeremy, how do I pronounce your last name?
You want to give it a shot first?
Yeah.
Points to no.
Rigsie's got it.
Points to know.
Silent French tea.
We're so close.
It's like, okay, I got you.
It's like a Merlot.
Exactly right.
Well done.
Yeah.
I'm surprised you didn't get that with the way you try to be fancy.
I would have.
your bullshit.
So, congratulations, Jeremy.
You got down to 9.0.
First time in the single digits?
First time since losing my site.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
And you used to be, what, like a 3 or something like that?
Yeah, I got down like a 3 or 4 in high school and I could see when I was fully
sighted.
Okay.
So, now I don't want to say, but it seems like your site is somewhat there.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I don't quote unquote look blind.
I have complete peripheral vision.
I've got nothing in the middle.
I've lost all central vision.
So what does that really mean?
Yeah, so like if put both your hands one on top of the other,
put them in front of your face and look around a little bit
with your hands in front of your face like that.
Okay.
That's my sight all the time to somewhat be able to see things
I've got to look above to the sides or below.
Don't do that with the ladies.
That doesn't go over well.
But, you know, I lost the ability to read without extreme magnification.
I got to zoom in here on my laptop to see you.
I'm not able to drive.
And I'm not able to distinguish faces.
If we walked by each other on the street, I would have no idea who you are.
Everyone's a blur to me.
So how did this happen?
Walk me through the, you know, what occurred?
Because it sounds like you had originally, like you said, fully sighted.
Yeah, I had perfect 2020 sighted my whole life.
Went off to San Diego State.
and was living the dream.
And my sophomore year when I was 19,
I had to squint to read a sign.
I was like, oh, that's weird.
I think I need glasses or contacts.
And in a matter of two months,
my site went from perfect 2020 to where it is now
and where it's been for 12 years,
legally blind with no central vision due to a rare...
Don't worry about that shit.
We're still going to beat fucking Frank in his team.
So Pat has recruited you, I believe,
on to his team for the rematch
when he plays against...
that's this fault.
Jeremy,
don't fucking worry
about these dead beans.
We're gonna fucking win.
I couldn't have said it better than myself.
They're not gonna fucking see me again.
I got this for you.
They're not gonna what?
They're not gonna cheat me again.
We're gonna fucking win.
I'm actually,
I'm a member at the same club
Pat's dad's a member at.
Oh boy.
It all comes full circle.
That's right.
So Pat,
he was saying,
he was saying that his,
he's got peripheral vision,
but he's got no direct vision.
So if you were to put
both their hands like this, this is what he sees like all the time.
I can see alcohol and I can see glasses.
That sounds about right.
Jeremy, talk us through a little bit about how you, like how, what is, what is the setup
of a golf shot for you?
Like, how are you a nine handicap right now?
Talk us through like your whole process.
For sure.
I'm sure there's a ton of questions and people are mind blown as to what blind golf even
is.
but and to even like help people understand how I see as well like peripheral vision like my site
similar to a donut right I've got the whole donut part the top the sides the bottom I'm missing that
huge donut hole in the middle um so frank you answer your question it's it's a team sport for me golf
when I was playing in high school by myself it's an individual sport we know golf to be an individual
sport but blind golf is a team sport and in competitive blind golf tournaments my dad is my guide but if
with Pat as my teammate, I could have him guide me and we'll whip anyone's
bro, we're gonna have fucking 15 katties, you don't have to worry about shit.
I don't need 15, I just need you, Pat.
I just need Pat and we're set.
We're gonna have, that's all I need.
I promise you, we're gonna be fucking set.
It's overlaid, I promise you.
My man, are you gonna bring me a pair of Jordans too?
What size of you?
10 and a half.
10 and a half.
Why is everybody fucking 10 and a half?
I'm a 10.
You have to squeeze it 11.5.
You have to wear a double sock.
Double soft. Do you like, run into shit or you, you know what I mean? I'm trying to.
No, that's a good question. Definitely not me. But I mean, after a couple of drinks, you have a couple of drinks, I probably drive just as well.
I guarantee it. I guarantee it. No, with complete peripheral vision, I don't bump into stuff and I don't look legally blind or blind.
But Frankie, I just have like, if you're my guide for the day, I would just like talk like just talk to me. Hey, what do we have a
par four, 420, okay, let's pull the driver.
And hey, you'd rather be right than left here.
Okay, then aim me down the middle and I'll try to play a cut.
And if it's, you know, if we keep it on the right side, we're going to be fine.
And then we just talk through each shot.
And you stand from behind and tell me my feet, go more left, go more right.
I pull the trigger and we do that the whole way around the course.
There's separate things we do for chipping and for putting to be more precise.
But it's a team sport.
And I mean, if I'm just playing with my dad at my home course, the two of us, we get around in three and a half hours.
So people might think.
That's so fucking cool.
That's fucking cool.
I mean, that is amazing.
No, that seriously fucking cool.
Because the fact that you have to have enough game to know when someone tells you what you're doing, you know, like where you are, aimed left, aim right.
Right.
You know, sit on the left, sit on the right.
Water here, that's fucking cool.
That's my partner right there.
How do you line up an iron shot?
Like, all right, do they, are they physically holding the face of the iron and holding it behind the ball?
No. So for me, with the complete peripheral vision to somewhat see the ball down there, I look above it. I can't tell if my club face is on the toe, the heel, or if it's square. So if I'm on the toe, my dad will say it's on the toe, I'll step up a little more and get it square. And then just from behind, you just told me to go a little more right or left. And it's kind of like, it's like a video game. I kind of turn around the ball to the right or to the left. You tell me it's good. I pull the trigger. If I hit it to a foot, I'm the man. If I, you know, miss it. It's a little.
left of the green, you screwed up.
Yeah.
Gonna win.
Hey, we're going to win.
It doesn't matter.
The way they pull the trigger, like, so nonchal, I look.
Like, that's the part that I don't get.
Like, actually, like, I have to look at the ball to hit it.
And I still, I see the ball.
I still can't hit it.
So it's like, I don't understand why pulling.
Have you just gotten the plane down?
You've gotten, is it all a feel thing?
Has, is there, like, a heightened sense now of, like, feel now that you've lost some of your vision?
Because I've heard, like, I don't know if that's, like, not true.
But, like, as, like, like, one second.
goes down, other senses go up, like, are you, like, do you have a feel for the ground more?
Say that one more time?
So, like, I was wondering.
I'm totally messing with you.
That was a joke.
Oh, Jesus.
We're in trouble.
He's going to, him and Pat have, like, a whole fucking vibe going right now.
See, Frankie.
Frankie is left.
Sorry, Frank.
We're in trouble.
We're in trouble.
Sorry, sorry, Frank.
Boy, are we in trouble.
I don't know if I'm being an asshole.
Like, I was trying to tiptoe around that.
No, no.
I'm going to win this fucker.
I'm not playing this guy.
He's going to fucking dominate me.
I'm an open book, man.
His sense are going to go up more drinking fucking 23-year-old pappy.
I got to eat for you.
His sense are going to go fucking way up with a victory.
No, Frankie, that's the most common question I get.
It's a good question, man.
And that's my response.
But it's 100% feel.
And it's something like, if I step over the ball,
like I don't look at the target at all.
because for me it's just how are my feet set up and I'm only focused on the alignment of my feet.
As long as the sighted guide is pointing me in the right direction, I don't need to, once I'm stepped over the ball, I don't look back to the target.
I'm just focused on my feet, alignment, and pulling the trigger to make sure it's starting online.
Is it up to your dad to make sure that the ball is teed up the same height every single time?
I tee it up.
Really?
feel yeah when i teed up i feel like how far down i want to put it i make sure the ball is slightly
above the driver like we want to have it set up and yeah i don't want anyone else putting the
teedown for me uh bro we're gonna fuck with these guys don't give me your goddamn secrets
don't get into fucking secrets we're gonna win these good we're gonna beat these i'm gonna be like
uh you sure you want to teed up that high right before you pull a trigger we're in trouble
i want to i want to get out in front of it and say we're in trouble i find what you do
to be so impressive man it is congrats to you to be able to just like
overcome this stuff and and you can tell on social media people are rallying behind you and
it's like a really cool thing and we definitely need to get you involved whether it's this like
we have to get you involved into something like people need to see this i mean i like pat
like you're just not allowed to have good golfers as you're fucking you're lost you can't keep
like drafting players to beat us like you lost you have to beat us on your own you're a good
golfer you're playing at fucking liberty national next week came down to one put
Came right down to it.
You got this new swing now.
Where is he from?
Where's Jeremy from anyway?
I didn't catch the beginning.
I'm in Carl's Bad.
Oh, fuck.
You're in my hometown.
Yeah, I'm in your backyard.
All right.
So listen to me.
You are going to come out here and we're going to play these fucking four derelics.
And we're going to fucking win.
How does that sound?
I'm so down.
Frankie,
thanks for the nice work.
Frank's going to feel so shitty because he fucking lost that he's actually to have to shake our hand this
because we fucking won.
I'd be remiss.
We're going to do this soon.
We're going to do this soon.
I'm totally game.
I'm there.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't say,
Trent,
congrats on breaking 100,
man.
I think that's just as inspirational,
dude.
I watched it.
I know I'm a blind guy,
but I was zoomed in.
I got to tell you,
it's probably not as inspiring
as what you do.
It's got to be tough to hear,
Trent.
He thought,
like,
you read for your skill.
I appreciate the kind words.
I really do appreciate it.
It was equal to being blind and playing on.
Just,
we all.
We all have our accomplishments and achievements we got to get.
You got yours.
I got mine and let's keep going.
You're at just as much of like a dis-like you're at such a disadvantage as, as Jeremy
on the golf course.
And he's literally saying that you guys are just as your equal.
You're a common.
No, this is Frankie being negative trying to turn it around.
That's what he does.
Jeremy, I appreciate the kind words.
Let's keep going, pal.
Yeah, absolutely.
Frankie still hurt that I gave him a hard time.
Turn out.
Turn out.
I can inspire.
I can go out of you.
All right, Jeremy, we're going to set this up.
You're going to be part of it.
Unreal word.
He's coming out.
He's coming out this town.
Very inspirational.
Appreciate you guys.
Awesome shit, Jeremy.
Seriously.
Yep.
Thanks for hopping on, man.
Absolutely.
Take care guys.
That's good.
Jeremy.
I'll see you soon.
Jeremy, I'm going to see you within five weeks.
Perfect.
Love it.
I'll hear you then.
All right, brother.
See you.
Wow.
That's your partner.
that's fucking cool by the way
yeah that guy's awesome
that's the kind of shit
see you're not going to get that kind of shit
with any tour player
no chance no no
trust your body to do that
he'll pull the trigger when you can't see
it's crazy dude how his vision makes me
think that he's like that would me I mean obviously
get used to it but I'd just be nauseous
like I yeah I don't
it's almost like a blessing that
he has a little bit left end a little bit of a curse
where it's like just an outer rim of the
world and you're like
Can you imagine what that looks like?
No.
I feel like you're constantly trying to see the thing, but you can't.
That's what I mean, yeah, I'd be like.
So off the four of you, who's going to be upset the most and we fucking beat you guys?
I mean, Jesus.
All of us, if we lose to you and a blind guy.
I think that you need to like realize.
This time you're fucking losing.
A new swing, a new outlook on life.
Like, you're going to fucking crush us if you played a solo again.
Plus, we played a public golf course.
Hey, the bottom line is,
We are going to have fucking fun.
We are going to have fun.
I just want you to think, like, you don't need fucking Jeremy to beat us.
Like, you would have beaten us nine times that at 10.
We hit rocks.
Damn, I got fucked.
Like, we got so fucked.
We never should have won that day.
We got so lucky.
No.
That was done.
He didn't even know where that ball was going on 18.
He hit it into the sun.
All of a sudden, it was two feet away.
Lurch, what did you hit?
You had a four iron to a foot?
No, no.
It was a five.
Oh, it was an eight item.
I thought it was further than that.
No,
it was five feet.
with six week luck job that's probably what i guess four percent like result for you
yeah by the way what the fuck is what what lurks his fucking background looks like he's on the
fucking moon he does this shit he does this like he's like he's a buffet of bits with his
with his car with his no he's keep it word i don't i don't have the background that you have that
so it's not trophies well i we know that i'm actually moving so it's boxes and shit riggs
why should come over for a drink i'll come over check out that vegas style pool
you got running around.
Vegas.
I know.
That's Vegas,
San Jose,
Manico,
Abiza.
It's more than just
one fucking pool,
by the way.
That's fucking
big league shit.
It is big league shit.
It's one of the most
impressive pools I've ever seen.
It's the most impressive pool
I've ever been a part of.
You ever see that water?
Hey,
Ray,
get the fuck in the car.
Get up here.
All right.
We got to finish our job here,
unfortunately.
Which is,
okay, so by the way,
pretty much took care of itself.
We got Jeremy, me and Jeremy,
and we got me and fucking Ben,
and then we're going to get the other fucking,
we're going to get the other boys out.
Yeah.
Are you guys all going to be out at Liberty next week?
Yeah.
Yeah, whole squad.
Where do you stay for that?
You stay in New York City or you stay in Jersey?
I'm in Jersey City.
I'm in a fucking dumpside over here.
But at least I got DJ and his chef.
Oh.
I think we covered a lot of ground.
I think we covered a lot of the main topics going on.
We got anything else?
What else we got?
It's been fucking five months.
So what else we got?
We got one left.
Someone's going to have one left.
Holy fuck.
We got the Olympics.
We got Bryce.
We got, we got fucking Brooks.
We got, first of all, there's-
Who wins the wind on this weekend?
Huh?
Who wins this weekend?
Oh, does Ricky Fowler make the 125?
He needs to finish 21st.
Oh, hi, baby.
Yeah, I think he does.
He never got you nothing.
Oh, fuck, look at my wife's drop it.
What is it?
Podcast corn dogs.
Hey, Rick's coming up.
Rich is going to come up.
Now you're committed.
That's awesome.
Riggs, get the fuck, Newburgh.
That thing looks delicious.
I got to tell you.
I got one for you.
I got two.
So we got one inch.
What were we just talking about?
We're talking about what?
Ricky.
Ricky will do it.
Ricky will finish top 20.
Is he going to finish 21st?
Now, it doesn't matter.
Don't get me wrong because he has he's going to,
he has two separate qualifications against his card
because he's top 25 all-time list.
But does he finish top 20,
does he finish 21st this week?
He's never missed a FedEx playoff.
I'm going to say.
Same swing coach is,
Trent, same swing coaches.
John Hillary, baby.
I love Ricky, but I say no this time.
Really?
Yeah, I do love Ricky.
I think he's phenomenal.
He's always been great to me.
But to put all that pressure on the line,
he's got to finish 21st this week.
The only time he's finished inside the top 20
for the last 18 months is the PGA championship
he got a fucking sponsored by it.
He's playing better.
I think he's going to do it.
I got faith.
I'm a big Ricky guy.
I think the...
Bro, I'm a rookie guy too.
Ricky gets so much shit.
He gets chirps so hard.
He seems like the nicest guy on the planet.
I'm with Ricky.
Believe me, I get it.
I fucking love Ricky.
The fucking nicest kid.
He's always been the great to me.
We talk cars.
We talk fucking shit.
I'm pulling for him.
I'm just saying it's like it's odds or not odd.
There's nothing to do of whether I like the kid or not.
I think he's fucking phenomenal.
I think he's fucking great.
If they were all like him,
I would root for all of them, but they're not.
So I don't move for a lot of them.
We have any run-ins with,
you have any run-ins with Harris-English?
I feel like he's been playing better golf recently.
Let me tell you something right now.
Harris-English is my fucking boy.
His caddy,
Elar, is literally our fucking boy.
Harris-English, I could not be any more proud of Harris-English
if it was my own son.
He was for a shitstorm of,
fucking shit golf.
And he got with Justin Parsons.
He started working.
He worked his fucking ass off.
Harris English is on top
because he worked his fucking ass off.
He's a phenomenal golfer.
I literally could not be any happier
for him or is Caddy Elar
because
I mean, seriously, bro. I mean,
it is
so cool to watch a guy
go down and then
go all the way up to the top.
He's down on top.
Yep.
And I, I, you know,
he was in the fucking shitter.
Like, he was literally in the fucking shit house of shit house.
And then he kept getting starts and starts and stars.
He finished top 10, 10, 10, 10, and then he won, then.
And then he won again.
I mean, Harris English and Elon, I mean, two of my favorite people on the planet.
Dude, something you said, something you said a few minutes ago that I just was confirming and looked up.
Ricky Fowler being 24th on the all-time PGA tour money list is shocking to me.
I just would have never, he's ahead of Brooks Kepka.
Like he's.
Yeah, he is.
Ricky Fathers has an amazing career.
He's an amazing fucking career.
He's got $39.9 million in career earnings on the PGA.
This is the problem.
This is the problem with a lot of public information is that, oh, that guy fucking sucks.
He had a shitty ear.
Okay.
well, let's see what he's done before that.
And then you get what you just saw, right?
Right.
He's made $39 fucking million.
You know me jobs pay out $39 million fucking dollars in 11 years?
Very few.
He's ahead of Heddecki.
He's ahead of Henrik Stenson.
He's ahead of Chief Gussin.
He's ahead of so many guys.
He's fucking shitty.
He said, no, no, he's not.
No, he's not.
He's fucking phenomenal.
I don't give a fucking.
he's only won five times or not.
He's had phenomenal years,
which now add up to
$39 fucking million.
Okay?
So Ricky Fowler,
I'm pulling for it to have a great
fucking week because he's an unbelievably
nice kid.
He's genuinely pulling for
these fucking guys
he roots for all the time.
Yeah.
He couldn't be any nicer.
He's a phenomenal.
I call him kid.
He's not young,
but he's younger than I am,
so I call him kid.
But he's literally a fucking phenomenal guy.
And that's rare to find in our business where you can actually find a guy that's actually genuinely happy for you.
But that guy, phenomenal player.
I hope the guy, it doesn't even matter if he gets his fucking, it doesn't matter if he gets to the playoffs.
He has, he's going to have two separate exemptions that get him to play.
Okay.
So let me, let me explain it to you.
Let's say this is good.
Let's say he finished 126, right?
If you go on the bylaws and bylaws, right, you would only get like 15 events.
Okay.
what event is not going to allow Ricky Fallon next year of the 48?
None of them.
Zero.
Okay.
So the worst case is going to get 40 events.
That's worst case.
And why wouldn't you?
Ricky Fowler is a phenomenal human being.
He's great.
Great wife.
He's got a baby coming.
You know, I mean, he's a great kid.
He's hard to root against.
So.
Do we know where Pat Perez is on the all time?
Do you know what number Pat Perez is on all-time career money list?
I do know that I passed Jason Duffman, my boy, by $10,000.
There you did.
Just start pulling dollar bills out of that thing.
I'm $10,000 away from Poulter.
I'm going to pass his fucking ass so soon.
Yep, you are.
You're 53rd.
You're right behind your Poulter.
You're right ahead of Duffner and your two spots ahead of Louis Oostock.
Wow.
Wow.
You take a lot of pride, that.
I would too.
I love fucking Louis.
Louis Eustacein will always
fucking have a part right here.
I was first alternate
at Bay Hill this year, and Louis Eustaceen was
hitting balls behind me.
And he was hitting, hit and hidden.
He goes, what time do you go?
I go, Louis, I'm not in.
My first alternate, right?
He goes, oh, fuck, are you shitting me?
He goes, I don't feel like great.
He goes, you go.
I said, what are you talking about?
He goes, I can't go.
You go.
So he fucking pulled out because you knew I was for his ultimate.
And he let me play Bay Hill.
No way.
Wow.
But seriously.
But even before that, like Louis Eustazen, Cheryl Swartzel, you know, Brendan Grace, Ritif, Ernie, all the South African crew, other than the fucking new Slovakian guy.
They're all fucking awesome.
They're literally, they're all fucking incredible.
And it's that you can't like make him that.
They just are that way.
And Louis saw me, and he knew I was warming up.
He knew I wanted to get in the tournament.
He felt kind of shit.
He's like, you go.
I said, what are you talking about?
He goes, no, no, no, no, I can't do it.
He goes, you go.
So it was hard for me when, like, he's leading,
and Ron was there in more and more of a Cowell.
I was definitely pulled for him more and more of Cowell.
You know, but, like, when Ron was leading, Tori,
I wanted Louis to fucking play well
because Lewis was with my guy for so long now.
I mean, we've been friends for like over 15 years.
It's hard for me not to pull for a guy like that
because here he is like,
he could have been to fucking cocky and be like,
now fuck that, I'm gone.
I'm going to play and pull out after three holes.
He's like, oh, oh, your first alternate?
Oh, you go, you go.
I'm like, Louie, are you sure?
No, no, fuck, you go.
You go.
I don't feel that great, you go.
And I made the cut.
and I made money
and I fucking, you know, added in my
fucking cut total and retirement
and all this other shit because he
didn't want to go. I mean, that's fucking cool.
But that's the South African way.
Him, Charles,
Gracie, you know, earning, rathith
go down the line. I mean, that's
the way they are. Or is Habbatini.
No.
And then you passed him on the money list.
One last one for me. We haven't talked to you since this,
but Phil Mickelson, you know,
50 years old winning a major what do you think about that is that give you any hope like man we
can keep doing this for years upon years upon years Phil I have a
goddamn I got a story you guys would fucking love to have but I can't tell you
I would love to tell you this fucking story it's so unbelievable it would make all the tabloys in
the planet wow all right you'll tell me later I'll tell rigs later
Riggs, you're coming, right?
We're definitely playing
all Friday.
It's the middle of a week
work day.
I've been drinking since
fucking noon.
Hey,
you're not coming over?
You're on a week off.
Riggs,
his wife got corn dogs.
You're not coming over?
There's no way that corn dog
is going to survive
until I get there.
There's no chance.
She's a multiple of them.
He's got four.
Those do look at this.
Where are they from?
Where are they from?
Sonic.
Sonic.
What the fuck else is you get a corn dog from?
I don't know.
I'm new.
to town.
Well, you're 12 minutes away.
But nonetheless, I'm going to tell you
if you show up.
I've got the greatest fucking
Phil story of all time.
If you show up.
You got corn dogs and Phil
stories.
It's right.
Hard to turn it out.
I would love to tell you guys
this fucking story because it's so
fucking good at making it.
It would make it.
Nonetheless.
Come, coming over.
Jesus.
What else are you?
It is fucking beyond
amazing.
And I will use that term,
beyond amazing with Phil did.
to beat all the young studs at the PGA at Kiowa.
It doesn't give me any more hope or not
because I haven't won a major yet,
so it's like I'm going to go,
hey, I want to major 40,
I'm going to 1 in 150.
So it doesn't give me any more hope.
You know, I mean, Phil is Phil, right?
He's the second guy in my generation.
He's a second best guy in my generation ever.
You got Tiger and you got Phil.
I don't know
to fuck about anybody else
that you want to talk about
in my generation
because they don't matter
because you got a guy
that won fucking 82 times
you got to want
that one that wants 46 times
after that it really doesn't matter
you know what I mean
so these new kids
I want to fucking talk about the bullshit
and all these guys
oh what's a new guy
you still got to fucking win
46 and or 82
you still got to win
you still got to win
you still got to win
15
or six to get in the conversation of, yeah, we're great.
You know, I mean, I understand the morocales and, you know, the Brooks and the D-J,
I mean, I get all these guys, but I grew up with the best.
I grew up with Tiger.
I grew up with fucking Phil.
I grew up with the best.
You know, some people grew up with fucking Sam Sneed and Tiger and, you know, and fucking Jack
and all this.
And I just don't see two of those three in the same conversation, one, but that's fine.
you know,
Tiger is the greatest thing
it's ever
walk the fucking earth
and that's the bottom one.
So when anybody
wants to try to compare
oh, this is number one guy
oh no, this is number one guy.
Oh no,
that, da, da, da, da, that.
It don't matter.
You guys are so far
behind the curve.
I said it like eight years ago.
I said,
I'll give you the entire new crop
and they will not match
Tiger's record combined.
And it was like,
I named my 10 names.
And it's still.
will not happen.
Ten names will not match the fucking great tiger boys.
This motherfucker has missed like five years of the last 15.
Think about that.
That's what's so fucking scary about the deal.
Because this motherfucker has missed so many years and is still on top of what everybody's chasing.
He did win.
82 times.
8.2.
15 majors.
82 wins.
Like, if somebody has,
15, that's outrageous.
He's got 82.
That's the thing is DJ's the next guy.
He's won 24 times.
Right?
DJ's won 24 times.
And the PGA tour, because they try to suck off everybody they can, like William Max and all the fucking new guys and all this fucking bullshit.
Like Monday qualifier fucking Yahoo's that, oh, my God, I'm going to buy diapers or this fucking bullshit.
Nobody fucking cares.
Nobody cares.
nobody cares
I have to
there's one guy
there's one
there's one
there's one
oh yeah
go pee
there's one guy
there's one guy
that fucking
changed our sport
and that's the
bottom line
that's the bottom
fucking line
but they keep
trying to reach
for somebody
else to fucking
this is our guy
there's nobody else
there's nobody else
all the young guys
of today
they can't
fucking hold
fucking
corn dog.
Next to the guy down there in fucking
Jimber. It doesn't matter what
the fuck they do. Combined, they're
not going to have what this fucking guy has.
Why they keep trying
to do it? I mean, I get it for
social media-wise, all this shit.
But there's one
guy that's changed the fucking sport, and
it's going to take another hundred years to do it again.
If that guy comes around.
The only thing that pisses me
off is this motherfucker
couldn't fucking stay out of trouble.
and couldn't not get hurt to not win another hundred times.
Imagine if he had like 150 wins and like 30 majors.
Nobody would have argued the fact he wasn't going to do that.
I know.
I thought for sure he'd have 150 wins, 35 fucking majors.
Who would have argued against that?
So when everybody talks about, oh, the next great sensation.
Oh, okay.
Please tell me who the fuck it is.
Trent Ryan.
There's nobody's going to match.
There's nobody's going to match the fucking cat.
It's the bottom line.
You're hurting her first.
I love that.
I absolutely love that.
That's a perfect way.
Get the fuck in the car.
Good the fuck I get.
All right.
We got to do our ad reads and then I'm going to call you and I want to hear this Phil story.
One of these is yours if you show up.
All right.
If you play a car, you might get some of this,
although it's more fast.
Oh, this was flashed.
Did you pop that bottle in the beginning of this?
Yes.
And then by the way, you can only get this.
You can only get this.
No way is right.
If you play the show, you get this.
That's it.
So I can't give you one of those, but.
I got to earn that.
I'll let you drink from it.
Can't buy that at like a mountain-based tent.
Hey, and by the way, you motherfuckers are going down next time.

Thanks, Pat.
All right, boys.
See you soon.
See you.
Hey, yeah.
Oh, man.
It's so good.
Brigg, see you soon.
Yes, sir.
out
yeah
that's fucking
turn this bitch off
it's never easy
no
god damn
babe
I ain't
I turn this shit off
is there a red
exit button
babe
I'm leaving
yeah
it's just
it's a crazy amount of
it's a crazy
what was that
bourbon was he drinking whiskey
what was that
I'd say he was 60
percent of the way through that bottle of bourbon
by himself.
What a character he is. How is that
thing really keeping that blur
on you there, Lurch? Even as you walk
through the back of the room. That's an amazing
technology. That's actually pretty impressive.
I love the thing.
I stick with a blur now. Well, the edges
of your hair make you look like a cartoon character.
Yeah, I know. It doesn't capture
that. Like, it makes me like, yeah.
But the fact that it caught you
walking around the room was stunning.
Pat Perez is crazy man
He just lets that shit fly
It's awesome
The guy's absolute character
I mean if he did
If that bottle did start fresh
Then
I'm pretty sure it did
Not only his character
He's a lunatic
I think like right when he started
He had a full glass
And I think that was the first glass
And his wife just shows up with corn dogs
That shows sober him up
What a gift
So that's an off week for your boy
Hell of a light.
Traveled all over the place,
and now he's getting a little off week
before he goes to Liberty National,
and he's just pounding, I think,
bullet bourbon and corn dogs.
Riggs, are you going?
I mean, that's the storyline.
And I just, dude, I got up at 5 a.m. in Boston.
I flew across the country.
I was so excited to just take it easy for a night or two,
doing laundry.
I'm opening packages.
I think I don't know.
I might have to go up there.
That's insane.
I mean, you have to go up there, but it's insane that you're now part of that.
It's a 15-minute Uber.
It's like nothing.
Yeah, it's not that bad.
You're there all night, though.
Yeah, no, you can't lay there.
It's going to be.
You might be sleeping on the floor.
Dude, that sun's going to set overlooking, like, the mountains with that pool.
Like, we've been there.
I don't know how you leave that.
That's impossible.
All right, well, so I will see you guys in New York then.
That's the next time.
We'll be in New York.
So everybody understands.
We're going to be all over Liberty National all week at the Northern Trots.
So we're going to be recording some shows from like on site.
Do we know the days of that yet or no?
No, I think it's kind of up to up so we can kind of do them whenever I think we want to.
I think so yeah, I think that's kind of the plan.
But we'll release to people the actual locations and times and dates of when we're going to record live.
people want to kind of gather around and hang out while we do it great we're going to be you know releasing
stuff from on site and we're just i mean it's in the in the backyard of new york city so we're
going to be all over living international this be fun awesome uh-huh uh other than that anybody got
any else um i got some news i mean this is deep this is a this is like a what did they call it a
Friday news dump.
But I think I'm going under the knife, boys.
I think that's the official word from the bird is going under the knife.
I mean, I don't know for sure if it's 100% happening.
I still have a couple tests tomorrow.
They're going to stick a bunch of needles in me and test if things are done or not.
But September 29th may be the day, and apparently it's a very quick recovery.
So we'll see.
I just got a DM from a guy who got both his elbows done.
and he said he was back to working and typing within two weeks,
and he said he could throw a baseball after a month or a month and a half.
So with my golf swing, I'm sure I'll be back after six or seven weeks.
So we'll see.
It's going to get me back to just being able to do stuff.
So I just got to do it.
I have to do it.
It's been a long time coming, I think.
Elbow is done.
The owner nerve is just completely entrapped.
It's in there, and I think I'm just going to do it.
I think you got to do it.
I think that's the answer.
I think get it done.
Get yourself right.
The fact that it's only a month recovery,
I thought he'd be out for like six months.
Well, the thing is,
is like they're just going in there
and there's releasing a nerve.
He was trying to explain it to me,
like all my muscles around it are pretty healthy,
he was saying.
Actually, my shoulders fuck too,
but like they're not going to worry about that.
That's just physical therapy.
My arms are falling off.
I have two limbs hanging off my body
that are just not working.
So it's going to be a long recovery with everything.
But yeah, I heard like after he takes a sling off,
it, like, the only thing is like not making,
Like, your elbow gets really tight after elbow surgeries.
So, like, you got to really go to physical therapy and work on it.
And if you're good about it, you should be able to be back.
It's not like I'm fucking swinging Bryce and Deschambeau speeds.
So I should be okay.
Also, I got a lot of DMs about people in the surgical field that definitely have
drinking problems.
I don't know about you guys.
I got a lot of them.
The drinking in the medical field is extremely prevalent.
It's got a lot of those.
Yep.
And we actually got several that made it, you know, were,
warning us of being insensitive to the high levels of kind of alcohol abuse associated with
the medical field.
So we clearly were not trying to encroach upon any insensitivities in that realm.
But it's, yeah, it happens is the answer.
Which is what we thought.
We figured that was the case.
Yeah.
It's just the numbers game.
Yeah.
And then it's, I got a message from a guy who, like, is, he was like very open about it.
He's like, yeah, I mean, like, alcoholics, anonymous, like, like people that I work with,
in surgery, we do brain surgery, we're all in it. It's like, it's just something that, because it's
like ego plus like stress plus just like having a lot of money and like golfing all the time
and drinking and living that lavish lifestyle. Um, of having a ton of money as like a fucking neurosurgeon
and shit. So crazy. Absolutely crazy if that stuff goes on. But as it probably like he said,
the numbers and stuff happens just in all walks of life. So scary. Correct. It's just a numbers game.
Uh, it is very scary. Tonight, uh, uh,
8 p.m. Eastern, we have the first episode of our travel series to Michigan, Forest Dunes,
the Loop, which is literally a reversible golf course.
I think Red's the first way that we play it, is the first day, I believe.
So on YouTube, 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, tonight, Thursday night, August 12th, 2021.
We'll have the premiere. Log on, watch it. We'll be in the comment section.
And that's all I think I got. Hit it hard. It's going to be fantastic. Hit it hard.
Hit it hard.
Hit it hard.
Thank you.
