So here we are episode.
What episode are we on now?
I bet you you don't even know.
Who fucking cares?
All right, we don't know.
Straight up.
No more episode numbers bullshit.
I got to tell you, though,
I'm proud of each and every one of you
because we've worked our asses off at this podcast here.
We've been really cranking these episodes out.
I'm even watching them.
I'm even watching them.
A golfer from Clovis, California,
and I live in Dallas in Dallas.
I mean, nobody.
And that man right there is Bryce and Deschambeau,
one of the best golfers in the world.
Rider Cup champion.
And, uh,
it's an honor to have you on here.
By the way,
a little ballsy to come on the full cent,
We're a little bit aggressive.
I know you golf guys got to button it up a little bit.
We do, but I think people seeing the different side of me is pretty sweet.
You know, it's not every day you get to see the full true potential of, you know, who I am.
And the golf course is pretty reserved.
But I think, you know, there's a lot more to be said when it comes to me.
And I'm super freaking excited to be on this.
Sorry, Kyle.
Is that tough sometimes to be, like, buttoned up like that and, like, have to, like, watch what you say all the time?
It's kind of brutal.
I mean, I had a buddy of mine, Chris Pratt.
well you guys probably know who he is subtle name dropped there subtle and he told me something
really really good and it helped me out helped him through his career and acting because he
was always playing this character and then going back to his family life right and he told me
he was like bryson especially when I had all this Brooks and bryson stuff going on the
slow play stuff going on whatever it was whatever controversy it was it was always making me
who I am on the from the golf course to me it always made me feel like that was me
And so I started talking to Chris Pratt about it, and he's like,
Bryson, you have to take yourself away from that.
The person you are off the golf course is not going to be the same person you are on the golf course.
It can't be.
You know, people's perception and their idea of who you are is unfortunately going to be a fictional character.
He said, so play that fictional character when you're on the golf course,
and then when you're off the golf course, be who you are and know who you are.
Don't let that fictional character change who you actually are.
And that made me comfortable with playing that.
character out on the golf course.
Now, I'm only talking about the bad times when things are going south, a lot of things
are going against you.
When I'm pumping it over the water on six at Arnold Palmer, I'm being me.
It's not being anybody different.
But when there's bad stuff going on and people are saying stuff, you suck, hit in the
water, Brooksie, whatever it is, right?
I have to retract and go and be like, all right, that's okay.
No big deal.
I understand they're doing that because either one, they want to be in my spot.
Or two, they're just drunk.
Do you get heckled a lot?
Do you get heckled a lot by the crowd?
Absolutely.
It's been a lot of heckling.
But I'll tell you, for the most part, it's changed.
I think that dynamic has now changed
because they're starting to understand who I am
as I keep producing YouTube content, TikTok,
Instagram stuff,
because I want people to see who I actually am.
And that's the tough part,
is getting people to see who I truly am
compared to what the tour represents
or puts me out to be as,
or even just the media in general.
That's the tough part.
You go talk to a writer.
I'll be out there's a lot of great writer,
out there, it's tough to go talk to a writer because they take a snippet and they can do whatever
they want with it, compared to being on a podcast or talking to somebody on camera, right? Because
they can see your true emotion. I think that plays different. Would you say, like, the media
in golf is like the same as like the NBA and the NFL? Like, they just try to like twist your words.
Well, I've never been in the NBA or anything. Or like when you see it, like just being like
a LeBron James. I'm not that tall. Okay. I'm kidding. But I would say so. I think that there's a lot of
outlets. And I'm not trying to knock anybody down. Don't think I'm
doing that. What I'm saying is that, you know, it's all about clicks and likes nowadays, as you guys
well know, right? But it's tough to do that while being your true self. And I think that's
the tough part. When you get to it, when you see it, I think what you guys are doing is something
incredibly special and something that I wanted to be a part of because I think it shows the true
self of a person, not just what people want you to think you are. Yep. Yeah, it's crazy.
Media is all about clicks now. I tell people it's like, it's like an article is like us how we try to
get clicks on like a YouTube video yeah like we're always thinking like title and thumbnail like
what's going to get those clicks like sometimes you base your content around like what's just
going to get clicks I don't think that's any different than like making a story now too right and like
the news it's kind of fucked up yeah I just ignore all of it I don't know I don't really pay attention
you don't you don't read comments nothing no I don't read it that much Brett usually tells me like
people are talking shit about you but I'm just like I really don't give a fuck that's just my mentality
do you find it all like when they're when they're commenting at you when you're playing like
throughout the round
when they say
stuff like
Brooksie and stuff
does that affect you
at all mentally
during the game?
I mean initially it did
because it's like
come on guys be respectful
golf is a respectful
sport but as time has gone on
I've gotten used to it
and I've gotten a brass chest
obviously I've gotten heat for it
which you know I'm comfortable with it
because at the end of the day
if they're saying bad stuff
about me or type and stuff
it's just creating a better
movement on the algorithm
have they ever been like
hit you blow the belt
like you got a small dick
or like anything like not
I said you do
I heard one last week
I said you did
I mean
No, I don't know
I just stopped saying
No, you know
At the Ryder Cup last week
There were some fans that
Says something really inappropriate
To John Rahm and his wife
And you just do not talk about
Your family
And that's crossing a line
I don't know, Shaquille O'Neal used to
He said I'm going to fuck your wife, didn't he?
No, I'm sorry, I don't even say
I didn't mean
But that's a little different now
I mean certainly most of the population
Will say that that is not
Shaq came across is a real joke though back to the
Yeah, I like Shaq a lot
That's a little below the belt
Yeah, you can't talk about fucking other man's wife
I'm sorry
Especially Shaq too
That guy's got a fucking horn on him
Yeah, yeah
Buddy
If Shaq's fucking your girl
You're done for
We're sorry
We can't be going too crazy
With crazy here
He's a golf
The full-samp podcast
Oh yeah you're right
You're right
I forgot
I can't forget
By the way
Pace to play is a big thing
With me golf wise
You know I like to fucking
Zing out there
Play 18 holes
In two and a half hours
Just fucking get this around
Guy like you though
I don't think that would
happen. I do that when I'm not playing for $15 million
dollars. Yeah. Oh, really? So you, but you
are a slow player. You're a fucking slow golfer, right?
No, that's what they present me as.
Ah, alright. I'm not even, I'm not even in the
top 50 of slow players on tour.
Okay. No, I mean, we have
shot link data that tells you
exactly what your time is
over each and every shot. And I'm under
45 seconds in 5 out of 6
categories. The only category I'm not
is on chipping, and that's because I walk to the
green. So they count that walking to the
green. Okay. And so everybody
that walks to the green from the chipping area is over 45 seconds.
Like it's just, it's almost impossible not to.
There's some guys that don't, they can hit in 30 seconds, which is no problem.
So 45 seconds is like the limit.
They say it's the limit to hitting a golf shot on average.
Yeah.
Especially when you're getting timed.
If you go over 45 seconds, they warn you.
If you do it again, you get a shot penalty.
That's only happened a few times.
Really?
Yeah, I've never gotten a penalty.
I've been warned a few times.
I've never been told I had a bad time.
So you get warned.
Sorry.
let me go ahead again you get warned
you get a bad timing
and then that next one is a shot penalty
so I've never had
in four years
a plan I've never had a bad time
so I've I've only been warned
like we're timing the group
so when you get warned the group gets timed
and then you know everybody's time
you had a plan on 45 seconds
they're always changing the rules right
I mean it's every year
so what's some rules right now you don't you don't really
well that's that's what it is that's so um i don't even know the full rules because it's never
happened i don't even have an issue anymore um i've picked up the pace on my potting chipping
uh driving i'm one of the fastest off the tea in my iron plays is really good there was a time
where i was just getting out on tour and uh i was playing with jordan zach johnson uh and jason
and they were all known to take time as well and so it never didn't really help my i guess you
you say algorithm for keeping
our group under time par
so it's one of the things that
you know just bad a little bit of bad time
and bad luck in that regard but
you know yeah am I going to take time
for playing for millions of dollars yeah
but when I'm on the golf course I'm finishing
I'm finishing golf in less than
two and a half three hours every time
I play if I was to play and I barely even play I rarely
do also with your putting
I see you do math when you're on the green what are you doing
when you're on the green? Yeah yeah
is one of like the only players
saw that
right?
Yeah.
Everybody thinks I solve equations
is fucking rain man.
The sign is a man.
Tiger calls me rain man sometimes.
It's hilarious.
No,
so we have an algorithm
tells us pretty much
how much a putt's going to break
for any distance
on any slope,
on any green stem value.
So all I...
No, go ahead.
So essentially what we do
is like, okay, I'm 10 feet away.
I'm on a 2% slope.
It's 12 inches.
I'm not doing calculus on my head.
I'm literally using a chart
that tells me how
forward aim based on distance, slope, and friction by the grid.
Are you selling the chart to the average dollars?
So it's like calculus on the greens?
Yeah, no, calculus is way harder.
That's like looking at a chart and going, oh, that's what it is.
So it's a lot easier, actually.
Sleam's on, like, grade one math on the green stuff.
No, I mean, I broke 100 in my fourth time playing.
That's pretty solid, by the way.
That's dope.
We don't know if it was, we don't know for sure.
We weren't there.
No, no moly against.
I promised you.
Did you use your bead counter?
No, I literally just played out.
I didn't even, no, I wasn't even trying to.
Brooks wouldn't be happy playing behind Sleen.
that's all I got it either
Is he like
Is Brooks like Voldem
broke 100? What do you think?
What did what say that again?
You think Celine broke 100?
No, fuck no
I don't know
I really have to count every shot
It's different
I'm gonna count every shot
I wasn't going for 100
I was just playing to play
And then on the
You were playing with a fan too
I think he like
I think he like I think he like
It was that testing
It was that Tustin Ranch
Par 58
I don't know what the fuck tomorrow
I'm new to golf
So like it was part 72
But I don't know man
I really did
I really did
Did you, uh, were you playing the red T's or?
I was playing, uh, so there's,
the white,
he doesn't realize he doesn't even know he's getting,
he doesn't even know he's getting chairs.
I love it.
I actually really like playing golf.
Like, I started, I love it.
Slim is going to be nasty.
Yeah, he will be good.
I've started a month ago, man.
Slim's gonna, he's got, he's got an obsession
with Tiger Woods right now.
I love it.
What do you, you think you could beat us though?
If all four of us,
we were talking shit in the car,
and we spoke about a little before
and you seemed pretty confident.
If the four of us,
which we're going to do,
scrambled against you,
four-man scramble
at let's say
Augusta National
actually we can't play there
so no we can't but yes
there's no chance
what do you mean no chance we're a nine he's a nine we get four
attempts at every fucking show we would smoke you
I broke a hundred how the fuck are you a nine
I'm saying you're saying you're saying you're 70
oh 81 I'm good I'm good
when there's shit on the line I'm good I just don't try in for you
yeah you got to realize when I'm
driving greens and making puts
against Sergio you know
you got to realize you got to take that into account
When the nerves get there to you,
I usually perform decently well.
We'll see.
I've never played with you, so.
No, that's true, yeah.
But would you like that?
But I think, I think on all honesty,
I would have a really good shot at beating it.
And I'm down.
We should do it.
Us 4 versus.
Do like a vlog style?
Yeah, it's a lot.
We got to do something like high stakes, though.
Whether it's money or just a money or a bet.
I think a bet would be fun.
Charity play too.
It could be something for charity.
It could be charity.
Yeah, I'm down for that.
that's what people don't realize too either like the tour and the players give so much back to charity
i think that's super unique about this uh organization just what we do in general is that we love
giving back and uh i mean i don't know how many millions of dollars we raised last year but you know
through my own foundation we've been raising a lot of money as well um we're getting close to that
a million dollar mark i think and we're going to be doing some stuff with that but
people don't understand the dedication uh golfers have to giving back so i'm
down. I mean, I'm totally down.
The Ryder Cup.
We were going to do a give-back.
We're, it's breast cancer month, so we're going to buy, like, we're going to buy
girls' new racks.
Because, like, no, no.
No, it's serious.
When you get breast cancer, when you get breast cancer, like, girls have to, like, they
do surgery and they remove their tits.
So, like, girls that have breast cancer, we're going to raise money for our drop,
and then we're going to use the money to buy girls' new racks.
That's actually really awesome.
That's awesome.
That's super cool.
I'm giving back in a very unique way.
fun?
Yeah, it is fun.
It's also fun.
Rider Cup?
You've got to talk about the Rider Cup here?
Yeah.
Come on.
You guys, congratulations.
Thanks.
We, the greatest team ever.
The best team ever.
Was that your first?
First.
No, it was my second.
I played over in Paris and got our asses handed to us.
So that was a bit rough.
I did not want to feel that again.
How is the Rider Cup like different than?
Well, we all come together as a team.
You saw Brooks and I come together as a team.
That was fun.
I'd also say that.
I had a great partner, Scottie Shephler.
He was insane.
He's such a good player.
He's never won on tour.
He will win on tour.
He's a rookie on the Ryder Cup,
but he felt like a veteran.
It was super sick.
And then we all just came together.
And the most important thing about that event,
I think, is as a country, we came together.
We've been, obviously, struggling for a long time in this country,
and we needed a little gusto, a little jump, right?
I think the Ryder Cup kind of provided a little bit of that.
I think golf is doing that.
That's why it's so special and unique.
It's different than any other sport.
And you can just create things.
that nobody's ever seen before,
and that's kind of what I'm trying to do.
What was the best part of, like, tournament?
I saw you eagled number one on the final day, right?
The best part, my favorite part, no offense to Sergio.
I love Sergio.
He's been super nice to me.
I loved pulling the putter out
after I smoked that drive on one
under the green the last day in the series match.
And I got the putter out before I walked off that first T-box,
and it was in front of Sergio.
Oh, you pulled the putter out on the T-box.
Right in front of them.
Oh, shit.
That's a power move.
Straight to the chart.
Tossed me my putter.
And then I drained it.
I think he put on his glasses
after I drained the putter.
That's crazy.
So that's a terrible start.
That's the worst way of fucking star, bro.
Like the guy who you're playing against
your drops of 41.
You're like, shit.
It's gonna be a long day to day.
I've seen Spieth, he,
I don't know how to pronounce the name,
but he shot,
no, you said it first.
You actually couldn't have said it better.
Honestly.
No way.
I seen on Instagram.
My mom says Spithe, so, I mean.
No, he putted and went in and out.
I've seen that.
Oh, the 360s.
That must have hurt, man.
That was terrible.
Here's a little science for you.
How does a golf ball drop into the hole?
It just goes in.
Gravity?
Gravity?
Yeah.
But a golf ball has to have enough time for it to drop half of its width to hit the equator of the ball.
And Jimmy back and forth end and going to go in the cup.
You dissected that one.
You were like, you should have done this, this, this, this.
Do you do all your own research on everything?
Or do you work with different people?
No, I work with my manufacturer, Cobra, and Bridgestone.
So Bridgetown is a golf ball manufacturer, and then Cobra's equipment.
And we work a lot on coming up with new ideas to solve unique issues and problems.
For example, like nobody would know this, but hitting out of the rough, you probably lose half your spin.
And that makes the ball jump and fly out really, really fast.
So you get these people call them flyer lies.
You hit a shot out of the rough and just gone over the green.
and we're trying to find ways to mitigate that
so you don't get as many jumpers
or a way to where it jumps all the time.
So it's something consistent, right?
And you have to do a lot of like research
into the chemicals they're using to make a golf ball
and just the plastics and all the stuff
going to, even just the metals you're using on the face.
It's wild.
There's so much that goes into it.
I couldn't even explain in this hour.
But even like you do a lot of things different
on tour of the most players, right?
The lengthier clubs, the putter.
I've always tried to find a distinct advantage
everything i was just read up on something before
with flag pins being allowed in are they still loud in
so they are once yeah you leave the graphite in
depends on the c oar coefficient or restitution of the flag so how
hard it hits in the flag and how much it comes off the flag
so most pins on the pj tour are really
i guess you could say soft um they got a little c oar and so you can just
hit it and just goes right in so you're hitting a punt it's going six feet by right
it hits the flaxing drops in the cup yeah compared if there was no flag
and it just go right over the hole not doesn't have enough time
Like, is that something you actually research yourself, though?
Yeah.
Like, I do things, I experiment on my own.
So I go and look at certain research documents on topics, but most research documents are not, I guess you can say, descriptive or have enough info or money behind it to fully answer a question.
So, for example, when I was putting, this is really cool, actually, when I was putting bad in 2017, I was doing face-on potting, I was trying a bunch of different shit.
And it didn't really work that well.
I was nothing what was working well
and I eventually found arm lock
that worked pretty well
but I still noticed I was having these weird putts
from like five feet and in
they were just coming off line really weird
and so I did some study
and some research on the golf ball
and the geometry of those dimples
and so
this is getting a bit technical
but whatever
no it's interesting
yeah we all love golf man
yeah yeah so the dimples
if you hit it
Slim's gonna be talking about dimples for a week
this is very interesting now
you know the dimples
I'm gonna have to fucking
hear about this for the next week.
Dimples and shit.
I didn't know the dimples.
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay.
So the dimples, they have edges on them, right?
Mm-hmm.
And if you hit it, if you hit that dimple on an edge at the wrong angle, it can come
off horizontally or vertically.
Holy shit.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, okay, do you have a golf, is there a golf ball anywhere?
I don't know.
Is there a golf ball?
Yeah, Gabe, you forgot the golf ball?
Yeah, exactly.
And the happy death?
Man, don't make a joke.
Wow.
So, can you get one, Connor?
I'm going to start doing this.
Okay.
So anyway, we went to bring his room and get golf ball ball ball ball.
out of his thing than anything else in that room
fucking take it. Cubs are gone.
But you know what it looks like, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if it's, so you got like a, it's almost like a
suction cup sort of thing,
suction cup sort of thing. So when you hit it like at this angle,
it'll twist and go offline.
But if you're hitting it on the top or
bottom of the dimple, it'll only
affect like the vertical launch.
So when I was putting, I was missing
putts from super close ranges
because it's hitting it off of the other
edges of the dimples. And so a lot of guys
that miss short putts, they're like, oh, I'm
I felt like I made a great stroke,
but it just comes out and lips out of the hole
from like a foot or two feet.
It's because they're hitting it on an edge.
So the firmer you hit it,
the more of the golf ball compresses.
That's too much thinking, man.
I don't know, man.
Listen to me.
Those the fuck he's all that.
No, no, it's not that difficult.
You want to break a hundred sleep or what?
Jesus.
Want to break a hundred?
We want to break 90.
It's actually not difficult.
It's not that difficult.
So when you're hitting something a lot harder,
that golf ball a lot harder,
it's compressing and it doesn't come off
at a weird angle.
When you're hitting a softer,
like a five,
footer,
you hit it a little bit off of the edges,
it can now come offline.
So whenever you drop a golf ball,
if you drop it from a super high position,
it'll bounce straight up vertically.
If you drop it from a low position,
the ball golf ball will bounce all over the place.
Yeah, yeah.
I see what you're saying now.
But is that your, is that your own research?
So glad Sleem got into golf.
I love golf.
But when you're missing those five, six footers,
you're like, it's got to be the dimples on the ball?
I didn't know.
So I was looking at like different putter designs,
like what's going on?
I felt like I was, I was taking every variable out of it.
So I was hitting it on my line and it was still coming off at weird angles.
Like I felt like I was stroking it perfect.
I'd used numerous devices that told me my, my putter was squared impact.
I was stroking it with a proper club path, proper, you know, line angle, attacking, all this stuff, right?
Whatever, right?
Nothing you need to know about yet.
And unfortunately, there's no answer to it.
That's when I went and did my research.
You think you're all, like, you know, because you're, you're, you know, because you're
swing speeds now is fucking out of control. You look like you're
swinging out of you like you're going to break your fucking back.
Right? So do you think this could ever
backfire you on you the strategy where
because there's a ball... When you swing harder, right, for
like an amateur golfer, when I swing harder,
the ball is a better chance you to fucking fly out of bounds.
Yeah, you would break your back.
Yeah. I mean, you'd go that far, but yeah.
But I'll tell you that what's
crazy is in the sport of long drive
it's the fewest
amount of injuries I've ever seen
in a sport. I mean, the guys
in the PCA tour get injured way more than guys
in long drive. For whatever reason,
it just seems to be that when you learn
how to swing a golf club really fast
and you get comfortable, and your body gets comfortable with it,
it's weird.
You don't get injured. It's wild.
I'm talking about as far as just like consistency,
like, does it have a chance?
More likely now that you're going to hit a ball
really bad, far right?
Well, yeah, I mean, the equipment
isn't built for
these types of speeds.
So when you're getting upwards
of 220, 220 mile hour ball
speed, which, by the way, is
50 miles an hour faster than
the PGA tour average.
50.
50 miles faster?
50 miles faster.
That's your swing speed?
Ball speed.
My swing speed is 113 miles an hour.
Is the swing speed average, 14, something like that.
Maybe actually be more.
Maybe like 15, whatever.
In long drive, I'm like 145 right now,
so that's 30 miles an hour.
What's your difference in fairways regulations
from your old swing to now?
Oh, I hit way less fairways, but I don't get...
Right.
It's just you want closer to the hole.
You just want to be closer to the hole as possible.
When in your career did you start, like, did you realize, like, I'm going to start, like, hitting bombs and, like, changing the game in that way?
Once I saw Cowbrook Sharer win the 2019 World Long Drive Championship, I was like, oh, okay, that's really interesting.
Can I gain 10% of what he has?
And if I could do that, what would that mean for my strokes gained off the T?
Well, you're seeing it now.
strokes gain number one off the T
by a pretty good amount
my iron plane wedging has suffered a little bit
but I've made it up with how much I've
Do they test for steroids in the PGA?
Yep.
All PEDs.
You got it.
No.
No.
He just says,
I'm sorry,
it's one of my questions on the list.
I know,
no, it's great.
No, no, it's fine.
So it's funny when I came back
the first time they tested me
within the first three weeks.
Okay.
And unfortunately,
because it's medical information
and because the tour
doesn't want to disclose
everybody's medical information,
they couldn't release it.
And I was like, I want to release it.
Like, no, we can't do that.
Just because of everybody else's and their own property, right?
I guess you could say their own, not IP, but medical information.
If you did take steroids, it would just take to another level.
Oh, I'd be way faster.
Right.
You think Berkshire, this fucking guy, Kyle, is on steroids?
No, no, no, no.
I think there's probably some guys out there.
How far does he hit it?
It's fucking 900.
Okay, so just to give your perspective, just to give your perspective, I was at 214 today,
ball speed, 214 mile an hour ball speed
he was around 227
to 230
230 miles an hour
he's 15 miles an hour faster
so that is 60
miles an hour faster than what I'm
than the PGA tour average
now does that piss you off though?
Yes
what that he hits it farther
yeah yeah but you did this
ever got out of control the spiral thinking of like
you're just hitting it farther as possible
it could fuck up your original golf game no no no no
well yes it did and I kept going down
the road for every three months I would evaluate
is it making my golf game worse
or is it making it better?
And over the course of time,
I started seeing like, no, it's only enhancing my game.
Kyle, I mean, he was not even hitting it that good today.
He hit one 455, and I hit it 412.
Oh, yeah, that's crazy.
455.
That's insane.
That's crazy.
It's disgusting.
How long can your drivers be?
48 inches.
It's a USGA limit.
And what's regulation on tour?
I mean, well, the regulations, you can't go past 48 inches,
but usually guys have 45-inch drivers.
So I'm out of 46-inch driver on tour.
and this week
48.
You took a lot of...
Sorry, go ahead.
No, again.
You see, he took a lot of shit for the
Cobra thing, remember?
He took shit for that?
Remember, you gave shit to Cobra for the...
By the way, in my defense,
your defense, I thought it was absolute bullshit.
Like, you got a bad day with your driver.
What happened?
I didn't see that.
He said my fucking driver sucks.
That was it.
So I don't know, I took so much shit for it.
Yeah, the funny thing is, yeah, it's not right.
I mean, it wasn't right.
It was more of me being frustrated
with the driver that I had that day.
It wasn't that the drivers
are bad. But it was more of the driver head that I was using that we had shaved off,
weighted up, changed the line angle, made the face curvature different. Didn't work. It wasn't
working. So I had to go back to an old iteration. And so he caught me at a heated moment saying
that and the golf world went bonanza thinking that I was blasting a company when I was just saying,
no, this driver head particularly. It'd be like saying, oh, this, this wedge is no good.
This wedge is terrible. Or this driver, this wedge sucks, right?
nobody would think anything of it. They'd be like, oh, you just move on to the next wedge or whatever.
Or they think your wedging sucks, right?
But people took it quite literally is that I'm saying that this company is sucking.
So no, that's not the case in one bit at all.
So this is a really good point, too.
If you think about it, the sport of long drive or the speeds that I'm achieving or even Kyle's achieving,
you can relate it to, let's say, you know, Formula One and their tires, right?
You're not going to use a Formula One tire on a commercial car, right?
it just doesn't work.
It's not for longevity or anything like that.
But when you're trying to achieve the highest speed possible
and maximizing everything,
you've got to have the best performing tire out there.
And it's not going to look the same as a normal commercial tire.
So that's kind of the analogy that you could give for that.
Makes sense.
Are you in, uh,
I don't know this is a sensitive subject.
Are you in Kepka?
What's going on with Kepka, by the way?
I hear all this shit about your little beef with this guy, uh, Brooks.
And Ryder Cup obviously, you guys are four,
but by the way, you weren't paired together.
Was there a situation to be spared together in the Ryder Cup?
Yeah, there was, but he was a dick to me in 2018.
What happened?
It was just over the slow play stuff that happened.
So, like, yeah, I took a long time for a put,
but it was because other guys were in the fair way and we had time.
It's like, okay, I'm not going to go because we're just going to be waiting on the next tea.
And we normally do that.
Whatever.
That happens.
The golf world goes crazy because I took like two minutes to head a put,
and I backed off of it once or twice or whatever.
And that was when I was definitely slower and I improved that.
since then, but yeah, I mean, he took a shot at me then, and I was like, dude, that's
ridiculous. We're all just trying to do our best out here. Like, come on, don't be, don't be
that type of person. And so from then on, I just kind of was always this little sticking point.
Is it like when you go to the range and hit balls and he walks as he chooses a slot next to you?
Or like, does he make his way to not go near you? Or no, yeah, it was just never. We just
didn't want anything to do with each other. Right. And you were just a rider cup champions and you just
won the rider cup. I'm talking about in 2018. Yeah. So I'll just give you kind of a backstory on
It's pretty interesting, man.
And then I think in Abu Dhabi, what was it, 2019, maybe, Connor?
It was like 2019 in Abu Dhabi when I talked about my abs compared to him?
Was it?
It was Abu Dhabi, though.
I remember I was doing a live stream, and somebody caught on live streaming me saying, like, I got abs, right?
And then he does this picture with his major trophies.
It's like, it's okay, I might not have abs, but I've got these trophies and whatnot, these major championships.
And so that's kind of when things got really escalated.
And it wasn't like, I wasn't thinking it was going to be a big deal, but it became a really big deal.
And as time has gone on, it's just gone more escalated and more escalated.
And then it got to a point where Memorial, I think it was.
What was it?
He was saying, no, no, people are just starting to say, like, Brooksie to me.
Like, because for whatever reason they're just thinking it was going to get me.
Trying to rattle you get your head.
Rattle me out.
Rattle me, yeah.
And which it wasn't a big deal.
I mean, people say a lot worse things than that.
Does he own real estate in your head, though?
No.
No, no, no, not one bit.
No.
If anything, it's a, this PIP program came out.
I don't know if you guys know, it's a player impact program.
So there's a lot of incentives to create clicks and likes for the PGA tour and as players.
At the end of the year, every year, we get a bonus based off of who's the top.
Really?
On clicks?
Well, there's Google searches.
There's, I mean, look, Tigers probably.
going to be number one.
Yeah, right, because he's just the most known relevant golfer.
So the PGA put that into place.
Yes, the PGA for players that may have not been, yeah, to create hype for the tour
and everything like that.
But it's going to also hurt some players like John Rom or Patrick Cantlay, even though
he bagged 20 million in two weeks.
You know, winning helps, playing well helps and all that.
But there's certain players, like Calmore Kaawa is not going to probably get anything
from it.
Only the top 10 social media influencers on the tour will get.
get that bonus and it's huge
it's a lot of money really but when you guys
hugged at the end of the rider cup there was that moment
where you guys hugged each other let's be out you guys don't fuck with each other
right well I would
look we had mutual respect for us
at that point in time I think things have changed
a little bit there will always
be competitive nature and we'll always kind of just be
like you know we're you know I'm better than
you or he's better than me or we're always going to be trying
to kick each other's asses which is
a good thing I mean I think the sport needs it in general
but I've got nothing against him
I don't think that, you know, we'll be hanging out and, you know, hitting balls next to each other all the time and doing that.
But I think that, you know, we have a little bit more respect for each other now, for sure.
Who wins a cage wrestling match or a boxing match?
He's got a pretty, he's got bigger arms.
I do have a solid core.
He doesn't have a six-pack, yeah?
He doesn't have a six-pack, yeah.
But he parties a little harder, too.
Cardio, go ahead.
No, yeah.
But I will say it would be a good battle.
No comment.
It would be a good battle, but I don't think it'd ever get to that point.
I mean, golf is not that way, and nor would I ever do anything like that.
I mean, I'm all for growing the game of golf, but I don't think wrestling for golf is something.
Well, boxing, you could box, you know, talk about you can do Kepka versus D. Champo.
That would fucking, that would go crazy.
It would definitely kill it, for sure.
That would go crazy.
But I think clicks would fly, yeah.
Scrapping the clubhouse bathroom.
Well, this is what I'm getting to is that there's some special coming here on the, probably near the.
Thanksgiving we're gonna be doing something kind of fun okay it eventually has to
happen that hasn't been announced yet I don't know what's going on with any of that stuff I
don't know no idea but I know that it's gonna be something special you guys are
gonna want to want to watch this really oh yeah is it a box it's not a boxing
who wins in 12 rounds of boxing though truthfully dude I have no idea throw it out there
what I want to know that I've got Hudson and Hogan who have done some of that you never
know but I would prep like nobody else how much it cost you to do a boxing match
against Kevin? Oh it'd be a lot it'd be
be way more than my net worth.
Okay.
Yeah.
That'd be crazy.
Would you like to share
where your net worth is?
No.
No.
No.
But it's fucked, man.
You're fucked, dude.
I just, I want to see a boxing bag.
I know, I know.
I know.
You mentioned Cantley.
He said, did he win back to back
when he won the bag there?
I was watching,
where was the first event
when you played him in the six whole playoff?
Yeah, that was,
uh,
Caves Valley.
And don't take this the wrong way.
No,
no,
I know what you're going to say.
Yeah.
Just, like, you fucking had him
in those spots at the end there.
And, like, do you ever reflect back on that as a golfer?
Like, do you just completely?
That whole night, it was terrible.
Like, I was watching that, and I was like, God damn.
Like, you fucking...
I had it.
I mean, I should have won.
Just as playing sports myself.
I just miss, I miss puts coming down the stretch.
Like, in the six holes, I missed a five-footer.
I missed a 17-footer.
I missed, like, a 21-footer.
I missed a eight-footer, safe par.
I got up and down out of the water, which was sick.
One of the holes made it for a foot-fur.
So I've got no thought about it at all.
But, you know, you're all good.
Golf, it happens.
It just happens, though.
I mean, I've had many failures, many more failures than that.
People don't realize, like, oh, my gosh, you can't close it out.
Well, I've won a lot of times, and I think that people don't understand that I've clutched up in a lot of moments.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
And they just think it's funny to nag at people and say, oh, you can't do this or you can't do that.
And it's like, okay, guys, hilarious, funny.
I've made some of those clutch-putch in golf history.
It's crazy just how close it was, like you fucking have.
close. I had it, man. But I'll tell you this, it's, it's, uh, honestly.
Book Club on Monday.
Gym on Tuesday.
Date night on Wednesday.
Out on the town on Thursday.
Quiet night in on Friday.
It's good to have a routine. And it's good for your eyes too.
Because with regular comprehensive eye exams at Specsavers, you'll know just how healthy they are.
at specksavers.ca to book your next
eye exam. I exams provided by
independent optometrists.
It's the coolest thing
being able to go out
there and fight as hard as you possibly can
and win. It's so amazing.
And when you don't... That's like a...
That's got to be the best. Winning a golf tournament?
Yes. Oh my God. It's crazy.
Millions of people. Yeah.
Clutching up and making that... Making
a 15-footer... Yeah.
We're never going to be able to do that moment in our lives. I can't imagine where
much out on 18 would go on a first playoff.
So the thing about this.
Like, you making a 20-footer, and I've done it a few times, making a 20-footer to win, or even at the owner-palmer this year, I had a 30-footer, or something like that, I needed a two-putt to beat Lee Westwood, and I hit it five feet past the hole.
And I had to make that putter going to the playoff, and I have to hit the same drive.
Again, it was super difficult, and it was.
That's a lot of question.
Oh, my gosh, Woodwood?
Five, yeah.
But he was playing believable at that point in time.
He was playing unreal, right?
He made a 12-footer on me.
Anyway, whatever.
The point is, is that making a five-footer to seal the deal
or a 10-footer to seal the deal,
the chills that you get going through your body,
possibly the greatest thrill-ride, joyride you could ever have in your entire life.
Do you go out and just go fucking apes?
I'll tell you, it's definitely better than sex.
Do you party after a big win?
Do you just go crazy?
I don't go crazy, but I do celebrate.
I'm pretty reserved because I'm always in it for the next day.
so for me if I go party and go crazy
the next day
if I lose that day that's another day
that somebody else is working their ass off and beating me
I always think about that
I mean Hogan when I was growing up Hogan is my idol
one of my idols and he said at best
he said a day you aren't practicing is another day
somebody's getting better than you
and if you don't work that day you lose out
you lose out and so for me
partying has always been this fun thing
for a brief amount of time
and then after
that back to work
I'll
I mentioned that one thing
with Canley because I just couldn't imagine
Sip it
Sucky guy Kyle
You guys the whole bottle of tequila
No I will listen to me
There are moments for that though
I'm not a fucking athlete
I probably throw it out
Once a year
I'll do it once a year
When it's in my off season
And I've got no repercussions
You like
You got a lot of
You got a girlfriend now or no?
No no I'm keeping that open
Nice
So
You must
what's it like on tour is there like
girls that like come to all the events
there must be like there must be yeah there must be a lot of politics
and like little groupy talk on the like
the golf flags don't too like
golf brids so yeah like golf braids so you're
golf swag yeah I would say
there's a lot of DM work
a lot of groupies though in that space it's very small
because I was day to think yeah Bryson's a DM assassin
yeah for sure lights it up maybe
yeah low key definitely Snapchat too
I'm not saying anything
you're allowed to be though you're allowed to be you work hard
Do you, like, analyze the DM slide-ins, too, like science and math?
No, you must move with the general stuff.
It's this.
It's this.
It's this.
It's this.
I click, look at the profile.
Eh, I'm good.
Eh.
So you judge a book by its cover, huh?
Well, when you see a good one?
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Are you replying, like, no, no, no, no, no.
Like, three dots?
I'm always, I mean, for me, like, it's weird because I've started, I don't know how to say this.
it's very dynamic let's say that as of right now and i'm just trying to keep it simple and
um as time goes on i eventually want to find the right person i'm trying to find the right person
right now and i feel like i've i there is somebody that i am talking to that's different and unique
and you know there's something there potentially but last year and the years before it was definitely
i mean i was dating this is one girl for a couple years and she was great it was fun uh just didn't
work out very well but then there was
there's just been some
times where I've been trying to
see what I like
experience. Chicks can fuck up your head
especially golf being such like a sport
where you gotta stay focused and everything
like you know like your girl like cheated on
you fuck another guy
that will mess up everything
I hate when you're like yeah when you have like
girl problems and you're playing golf it actually does
fuck with your head a little bit
yeah that's when we like that's why I've tried
to stay out of it you gotta watch what you're saying too
in the DMs as well right?
Yeah for sure I mean screenshots are always
and I'm never disrespectful
I don't, I don't ever, you can't, you just can't do that, man.
No.
Hell no.
Rule number one, we never, I really don't associate.
If I see a guy, like, if I'm doing business somebody or whatever,
and I just see them being, like, a dick to a woman or, like, being disrespectful to any way, shape, form.
That's my number one pet peeve.
I don't fuck with that at all.
We're about to fire people from my crew that's on that, right?
Yeah.
Good.
Not saying, you have to, you know, the DMs, sling a couple, you know, photos over or anything like that.
Once in a while I've done that.
Yeah, your DM game is just fucking horrible, though, for sure.
By the way, and if I had the...
What's your pickup line?
Hold up.
I got to notice.
What is your...
What's like, if you had the hottest girl out there, you, what are you saying?
It depends situation, but usually if it's a DM, you got that's usually fire.
I'm usually so busy.
You probably like tell them you can get them like a draft king's deal or some shit like that.
Or buffalo waltus.
I'm working on it.
That's one of my go-tos.
Have you ever been to Buffalo Wildwood?
No, I'm just usually like, yo, what's good?
Wings on me.
But see, if I meet somebody face-to-face, like, by the way,
I've done all right for myself, I think, in the lady's department.
I think I'm pretty, you know.
We don't know.
I'm actually...
Bob pulls smokes, man.
You know.
I don't know what his past.
Because I'm a genuine...
They're around for like two, three weeks.
I mean, they're all...
They come around.
You know, I get them for the time...
They're smokes.
But they are, it goes, no, I don't think I think that it's...
My theory's always been with a girl.
You know, you're just up front, honest.
You're respectful.
And you're a good guy.
I mean, it can never go wrong that way.
You know, I don't believe in the mentality that, like, you know,
asshole, you know, being the dick, you know, I have to be the dick.
Sometimes that's a way to block yourself, but, you know.
Yeah. It happens.
But my closing rate's pretty good.
Nice. I'm happy for you.
It's been good. If I think I found the one I'd love to, you know, it's just so we go.
We want to put that a record.
Moving on. Back to Bryson.
Is there like a lot of politics and like all the, and like the tour and shit like that
or like little like.
Oh, man.
Is it like you can't like talk to this person type shit at the beginning or like,
because there's obviously a lot of stars in golf too, right?
We're all pretty friendly, but there is.
a lot of politics in golf in regards to just the management and the way things are dealt with
and everything like that. It's very interesting. And the way it works is like we are independent
contractors, but we kind of sign away our media rights and social image, I guess you could say.
And so when we're on property, like for example, I can't really post really any of my
sponsors on property on a golf course.
If I'm a foot off
of the golf course, I can do anything I want for any
of my sponsors. Really? Yeah, because you can't
post it, but you can wear. You can wear.
You can wear it, but you can't promote.
On your socials. Correct. On your socials.
You can do it in interviews and stuff like that
after the round, whatever, right?
But you can't post a picture on your Instagram or YouTube or
whatever. You know,
PJ Tour, they monetize
obviously, from what I know,
their YouTube page. They've done really well
off of that. You know, I
hope it goes back into the purses and all that, but we don't know. So a lot of it's kind of just
we really don't know everything that goes on, which is kind of interesting. And then, you know,
the image stuff, like, for example, if I'm trying to promote a company, I cannot do it on property.
And the reason is because it'll conflict potentially with another sponsor they have for that tournament,
right? And so that's the issue. And it's frustrating because it's like, well, we're all members of
the tour. So why can't we do that? Why can't we all be like happy, you go lucky, right? Because
you know, you got FedEx, right? It's a huge sponsor the PGA tour, but if you're with UPS,
you can't post UPS on a tour, it's really, really interesting.
A majority of the players you think in agreement with what you're saying? I think there's a lot of
people that are starting to see what's going on and asking questions. Right.
Asking a lot more. So, I mean, look, I love the PJ tour. I think what they've done is
amazing. Don't get me wrong. I mean, my livelihood is based off of it, right? But I don't
I don't want people to think that I don't want other players to have Stockholm syndrome.
Right.
So, as if you know what that means.
I don't.
I was just pretending like I did.
Yeah, me too.
That's why I was like, yep.
No, I don't know.
So what is it's falling in love with, what is Stockholm syndrome?
It's falling in love with your captor in the sense.
So, you know, it's very interesting.
Is how important is a, have you won a major yet?
Have I?
Yes, he didn't.
No.
You've not want to, how important is that to win a major, obviously?
I love it. I love it. He just
goes along with that. He just goes
along with not knowing. Oh, fuck. You want
a major? Yeah, buddy. Wake up.
Fuck, I'm going to get grilled again. What's his name again, Bob?
Bob thinks we have... Pinning comments. Pitting comments of fire
Bob right now. Who is your
inspiration when you first got in the golf? I'm guessing
Tiger was. Tiger was the initial one.
Yeah, I won the 2020 U.S. Open
at Wingfoot, but that's okay. No big deal.
Yeah, no around.
Should Gabe step in for minutes?
Anyone? No.
eight events total was it uh you have one 10 worldwide that's crazy my voice cracked on 28 uh lot
a lot more majors to come though i hope so man it's uh one of those things that you i want
masters is the one i want to get yeah you're gonna get there that's the one so i'm excited
for the future getting that first major was unbelievable obviously it's that making that
six-footer finish it off was just the coolest thing ever and then see my parents after they
were on uh zoom or or or one stream or it was some sort of streaming thing and it was just crazy
to see them back at home in california and then me just look at them knowing that i'd won my
first major and sitting there going i did it and i did it for my parents for my family for my
you know was that the best day of your life it was one of the best days of my life for sure i mean i
cried i don't usually cry very often i cried then it was his golf is such a tough
Sports are amazing.
It's so fucking
I don't know how you can do it for him.
The success rate, I mean, the win rate
of Tiger at his prime, I think
it was like 11%
win rate, which is unheard of.
Unheard of.
It's unbelievable.
Right?
So like my win rate is like,
oh shoot, I've played like 120.
So it's less than
like a percent.
But you're always up there.
Yeah, I mean, you're always doing well
and making money.
It's great.
It's crazy how solid you got to play
all weekend for a round.
Yeah, four days.
So think about it.
Think about it.
Not one day, like you have a good day.
I want people to understand how difficult this actually is.
So you go to a tournament, right?
Let's say you're playing a three-week stretch.
You go to a tournament, you're there on Monday, right?
Sign up, register, do whatever.
Practicing on the range, hidden balls, putting, chipping, getting comfortable with your game.
You go play nine or sometimes 18.
The next day, you got to do it again.
You got to go practice, get more comfortable, dial in your clubs, whatever, getting more comfortable.
Wednesday, you got a pro-am.
18-hole pro-pro-m.
usually we're just starting to switch to nine holes
18 hole pro am that's a
four and a half hour ordeal
you're out there in the golf course again playing the golf course
I would love that
that seems like so much fun
it's not your time it seems like so much fun
it gets better
then you got four days
of tournament golf so the first day
Thursday is kind of like all right whatever
just can come you know going out there trying to
get up the leaderboard a little bit second day
some guys are just trying to make the cut
some guys their games aren't good and they're just
struggling. And so this is their livelihood. They're doing their absolute best. And I'll tell you
an interesting stat too after this little conversation, but it may mean a lot. Actually, it'll mean
a lot saying this first. So anybody that's outside the top 165 on the money list is losing money
every year. Say that again. They don't make money. Top 165. Outside of that, they're losing
money. Why? Because they got to pay for all their travel. We're independent contractors.
We pay for all of our expenses.
Crazy.
So you're going out there and playing for it.
Do you got to like...
We, every hotel, we have to pay on our own food.
And you got to find it yourself?
Yeah, you do everything yourself.
They don't like set you on.
You do everything yourself.
That's a lot, man.
You do everything yourself and you've got a family to feed and you're missing cuts.
Which, when you miss a cut, you make nothing.
Then it's just more pressure on you the next time.
Exactly.
So that's the first thing.
If it's your true job.
You think it's great.
But once you start going on the nitty, gritty details and it's your livelihood,
it's a very interesting scenario.
go. I'll tell you that the guys that are
1.25 and end, we're
having a great life. No issues.
But I feel so bad for the guys that are 165
or even on the Corn Ferry Tour.
Those guys are not, although the purses
are continuing to go up each year, which is great
and we love the sponsors because of that,
it's still a difficult life.
And so when you go and do these three
weeks dents and you miss all three cuts
and you're grinding Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and then you go Thursday, Friday, you miss the cut.
And you get the weekend off, but you're still grinding
on Saturday, Sunday because you've got to get good for
the next week and you still can't find your game
you're still not doing well because there's so many players that are way better
than you and you're still missing cuts
I miss 14 cuts in a row my first year on tour
nobody knows that very many
what was that like when you were in that stage were you ever like
really depending on money from golf or really
I was lucky enough to have sponsors okay
very very lucky when I got on tour
I had sponsors which is awesome and made me
okay but I didn't know if I was going to be
on the PGA tour after the first year I had to go to
you know I potentially was going to be off
the PGA tour and going back through
the cornfairy tour finals and seeing
I might make it out again.
It's not a fun process.
Also, one time you thought you missed the cut
and had to fly all the way back?
That was fun.
What happened with that?
So that was in Charlotte this year, Quail Hollow.
And I was like, there's no way.
I just finished, I doubled or tripled seven,
which is a birdie hole, super easy.
I missed a birdie put on, I think, on eight, part nine.
I made a birdie on eight, I chipped in, actually.
And number nine, finished,
I'm walking off the golf course.
I'm three over, the cuts at like one under.
No chance I'm making the cut.
So you just took off
I was like, let's go
Let's go
Meanwhile we fly
We go
Halfway through the air
Connor
Look at that's phone
He was Bryson
You may make this cut
I'm like what
Where were you when you found that out
In the air
Halfway back
The pilot does a fucking
You turn
He's breaking in the cockpit
Well that's what Connor went up
It was like
Guys we may have to land
And come back
If he makes a cut
Because the wind
Picked up 30 miles an hour
That afternoon
So went from like nothing
To 30 miles an hour
that afternoon and everybody was playing terrible and the cut and went from to even par one over far
two over par and we just saw that it was we had like five more holes left I think all the guys
had five more holes left and it went to three over par or something like that's amazing yeah it
doesn't it rarely happens is it worth going back though sometimes like is it like oh fuck I just made
the cut yeah well sometimes so you know flying privately is not cheap right so I had to weigh the cost
of okay this is going to cost me this to get there
if I go top 10 it's great I make a bag and call it a day right but if I finish 50th I still lose for the week
but I was still thinking okay FedEx kept points and all that okay it means a lot for the tournament first off
going back then showing you know my support and respect for them and for the FedEx Cup playoffs so I flew back
I went in top top top 10 that week that's crazy that's what I go out how important is a caddy in the game of golf
very important so Tim Tucker was my pretty much first caddy that had for a long time and he was
unbelievable and some life things happened with him this year and everybody thought it was a big
deal when it really wasn't. He had just some personal life stuff that I won't get into. But
unbelievable human being that helped me come up with a lot of the, I guess you could say,
not really algorithms, but just the systematic way we go about our business on the golf course
to play really well. And then as time went on, he knew he was, his knees were not doing well. He was
going to be done here in the next year or two or whatever so I was already prepping somebody else
did you have like an interview process like did you interview yeah I sat down with them I um
went studied the trots in a tuxedo or a business suit whatever right and I was across now um so I just
had known this guy for three years and I asked him a question one day about potentially academy
for me goes and he was a teaching pro at the time and he was like sounds interesting I don't know
I said well you're going to make probably three or four X of what you're making now and he was
like I know but you know I don't know if I want that lifestyle or whatnot and a lot went into it
and eventually came to the point where he was like I think I might want to do it and we had
become really good friends throughout this two three year process he was a guy that helped me
speed train so he would always be the hype man they're always with you caddies are always
with you right they're like 20 like they are it's like being married yeah it's really like
being married ever get sick of each other all the time yeah yeah that's why he's in
Vegas and are you
getting a you know what
your caddy is gambling heavily right now
yes your catty is it always
it's a great poker player by the way I think
from what I'm from what I heard you know
I was a caddy know I was just a caddy for like something
that didn't matter like guys that would just go out get
fucked up gamble for money and not give a shit
about like I would shoot where was it
uh Wilshire country club okay I would like shoot
the you know and they have the thing the scope
I'd like just not have slept the night before
and like shoot the fucking tree
instead behind it and give him like
he probably gave the four arms
He gave the worst reads there?
I was great at running, grabbing beers,
getting the fucking group zapped.
And, like, you know, that's why I got my jobs.
As far as, like, reading the greens,
I'd be, like, on the wrong side of the whole fucking...
I was not a good caddy.
I'll say it here first.
Well, I couldn't have expected more of that.
Is it always, like, is it 10% caddies always get,
or how does it work?
Is it, like, always a negotiation?
No, no, no.
No?
So, depending on how you play,
like, if you make the cut,
or if you miss the cut,
you're still paying a flat rate.
And if you make the cut,
if you finish top...
My structure's, like, 20,
or something like that you make a certain percentage
and then it gets amped up
when I finish top 10 and then when I win
it's 10% yeah so if you win what's the biggest
prize pool you can win the FedEx thing like
FedEx Cup is what how much million 15 million
so they get 1.5 million? Yeah they get
one and a half million dollars. Wow what a fucking payday
that is huh? Yeah that's that's one where you're out
having fun that's where your caddies dial them
yeah yeah but then the caddies on the corn fairy
think about the caties on the cornfairy tour where the players
aren't making any money sometimes the caddies make more than the players
on the corned ferry tour
because the players
aren't making any money
every single week
but they're having to pay them
a flat rate
do you ever
do you ever find yourself
like I've seen a lot of clips
and stuff
I'm not saying all the time
at all but
do you ever find yourself
like arguing with your caddy
on the course
or going against them
and all the time
yeah
every that's just a non-stop battle
every player in Caddy does
yeah it's not
and sometimes it's like
fuck you I'm right
and sometimes it's like
absolutely
you're an idiot
right just see Kenny Harms
and Kevin Nah
the interaction
between Kevin Don's
catty is legendary
unbelievable
I saw the
clip of John Rim like not too long ago I think
yeah yeah there's times where it's not bad yeah
there's times where it's like that but there's still
together right so just sometimes you just
Steve Williams with the three golf balls
on Pebble Beach Tigers on 18
oh that's a great story how crazy is that
yeah like what would you do it he's disqualified
yeah at that point in time he would have been
but nowadays you can just go get golf balls from
the room or whatever like yeah you can do that stuff
if you run out so that's crazy it's wild
Yeah, golf is, I'm telling you
It's one of the most amazing sports in the world
It's a great
One of the most difficult, I love, man
One of the most difficult sports in the world
But I will tell you, it's one of the most
frustrating sports in the world
Yes, for sure
Well, especially when you're playing, yeah
If it's your livelihood, that's crazy, like, we get pissed
Yeah, man
I miss a double bogey
I care, man, people, so people
People often times
I get pissed when I lose bets too
Like I'm, yeah
We're arguing on the course and shit
We never argue for betting
where, like, I'm not even talking to you.
Yeah, if you've never played golf, you don't know
the type of rage it can produce out of you.
Would you ever want to be, do you agree with the
miced up thing? They were thinking about micing you guys up?
Well, in regards to the sponsors
we all have on tour, it's the worst idea.
Right. It is the worst. But I tell you, it'd be
amazing if it was like on a
streaming service and we all, for like,
if we all for a day could
just say, okay, no repercussions
from any of the sponsors and go say what you want to
say, we would be saying everything,
absolutely everything, that every
average golfer says in the golf
And I think that's how it should be
going insane. Clips would be going
crazy. I think that's how golf should be though. I mean the biggest
chirps come out on the course. You did too
Brian Zerf, a good friend of mine, help produce
the, how was the match?
Dude, that was fun. We had some bombs up there with
Phil and Brady. Well, Brady didn't
really hit that many bombs.
But Aaron, Aaron did. I'm just kidding.
I love Brady. Was that your first time meeting
the best quarterback to ever play the game?
Aaron? I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
Good one. Aaron's got a way
No, I know he does.
That's why I'm joking.
I'm joking.
He's most talented for sure.
I know Tom is the goat, obviously.
By far.
What's your first interaction with him?
Wide-eyed and just going, it looked like he was zapped.
Like I zapped on like seven to be.
But no, I met him.
He was like, hey, buddy, how you doing?
Bryson, right?
Like, yeah, man, great to meet you, man.
You seem like you're unbelievable person.
And, you know, and then he was.
But no, he was great.
And his wife was great, too.
and no bad words to say about him.
It was awesome.
The way everything went down,
he was chirping in my ear the whole round
and just banter back and forth.
It was great.
I mean, I loved it.
And then Aaron, it's weird.
Aaron would banter in his own way.
It wasn't like the normal banter the ear.
It was very subtle,
and it didn't sound like he meant,
it wasn't forced.
It was just like a subtle little thing
that would come out and be like,
oh, wow, that was a big burn.
Yeah.
But it didn't feel like it was like...
Hits you like five seconds after?
I just got chirp.
And you're just relaxed and low-key.
Oh, shit.
I was his catty for a while.
That was pretty good.
It sounds like he's not trying to chirp you, but it was like, fuck.
Yeah, that hit me hard.
Exactly.
Right.
One of those sorts of things.
That would hurt.
But yeah, the whole match is great.
Brian obviously was unbelievable.
And I'd say the most important thing is we raised a lot of money for charity.
That was awesome.
You guys did.
Like I was saying earlier, one of your biggest inspiration was Tiger Woods.
What's your relationship with him now?
like oh um you know as you said earlier he's my dad so so no he's he's been great um first time
i met him in 2018 this is hilarious it's possibly the most nervous i've ever been on the golf
course my entire life more nervous than the rider cup more nervous than the long drive thing
that was dumb doing today um it was by far the coolest most nerve-wracking experience
number 10 tory pines that's where i played with him the first time he asked me to go
play I was like uh yeah let's do it why not and we get out there media everywhere and tiger
just stoic as ever you know he and i've been texting with him a little bit but shook his hand and
just like nothing there was nothing you just look at you he just blocked it that's crazy
walk right past you like you were nothing that's crazy and that's why i first met him yeah you'd be like
this and just look at you and just look away and not even know you were there anymore that's how
weird but amazing it was so i'm
talk to him okay cool whatever go to the first go the 10th tee hit a drive and as we're just
walking down the course i don't know what to say to him right because he's my idol right and
somebody i've grown up wanting to play golf with and compete against and for the first two or
three holes there was really not much at all to be said and then finally on 12 i asked him about
something and it's like because i'm a little i'm a geek when it comes to putting
and golf, whatever, right?
Everybody calls me his scientist, whatever.
He's a nerd as well.
Complete nerd.
And I love it.
It's super awesome.
I started talking about putting,
and he just goes down the rabbit hole, man.
It was as deep as you think he could go with putting.
To the dimples on the ball?
He went deeper than that.
Oh, yeah.
He knows anything and everything about putting.
What's what?
Yeah.
And so we just connected super well from that.
Is he hard?
No, it's got to be hard, too,
because when you play in a match,
You've been a group with Tiger before in a route, right.
When you play with him, there's fucking everybody around in the group.
Does that work for you?
Do you like playing with two shitty golfers and you have nobody watching you?
Even though you draw some people as well.
No, no, I love it.
I think in 2018, that's one of the reasons why I won at TPC Boston for the Dell Technologies.
I played with them Saturday, and the crowd is huge, obviously, paired with him, Tiger Night.
He goes out and he's playing pretty well, but for whatever reason, I felt like I was
feeding off of that crowd when they were going
crazy for Tiger. So for example,
Tiger hits his drive on two and it was just right
down the middle, whatever. And I was hitting it past him
probably 20 yards, something like that at time.
And I would stripe a drive and there'd be just a little
clap and then Tiger would hit and be like
yeah, let's go! Everybody's going
crazy, right? So that's the difference.
Yeah, that's a different dynamic. And I still
tried to use that energy and play
well. And so ultimately,
I went shot 63 that round and he shot 68.
it's going to be tough too when he's when he's like not
when he's not your group though too you gotta be mindful right
of when he's like hitting sometimes because doesn't it
you do because he could walk and the crowd walks
and goes crazy and starts yelling tiger
so he his whole entire life
has had to control crowds by his motion
to be respectful towards other players
people don't understand how much of a mental toll that actually is
I think it's nothing but it's actually like okay when do I move
how do I move to make sure I'm not affecting other players
he is cognizant of that
You could use it in your favor and be kind of like slimy and like when you're
guy.
Yeah, I mean.
Just take one step right when you're hitting right first.
I'm sure there was.
The whole crowd just needs one.
I'm sure there was there was times where that happened.
Yeah.
But again, that's what happens when you're the greatest, pretty much the greatest of all time.
Is he still the same when he hits a bad shot?
Like just completely like just.
No, no, no.
He's emotional.
He's very emotional.
If he ever watched TV.
Well, I've seen, I've seen videos of him saying like, come on, Tiger, like stuff like that.
He's been fine before.
for saying things. I've been fine before
for saying things. I'll never forget. This was actually funny.
15 at Memorial, I think I won
that year. It might have been the year before, whatever.
I yelled the biggest F word
I've ever yelled my entire life. I mean, the guys
heard it on, I was on 15T box, I heard on
18T. It must have been half a mile at least.
Screamed it. I got fined.
By Ralph Lauren?
No, by the British tour. Definitely not Buffalo
Lauer. That was not a high moment in my life.
When you're playing in the same group as Tiger,
like when you played friendly before is it was it totally different walking up the fairways like was he
no not just dialed completely different that don't talk to me that guys in a practice round yeah
in a practice round you get a lot out of him and a tournament round it's go time but even like yourself
like is that for everyone it's just go time or just some guys joke around for the most part there's
a lot of guys that joke around but i would say the best players in the world yeah don't joke around
we we want to kick your ass are there any guys that sorry are there any guys to talk shit out there
like truthfully like
there is some talk about that
yeah for sure we all have
our own little things like
why is this person this way
or why am I this way or vice versa
whatever there's always
did they guys like real competitive events
like chirp you a little bit
they don't chirp
it's more it's more gossip
yeah you're hearing about it
like that they're not like nice shot
like pussy or something like that
no no no they don't they don't say that
okay don't know never been the golf world had asked
yeah no it's one of those things that
there's still level of respect
there must be a lot of drama
and talk, yeah.
Oh, dude.
Like, this guy's wife
got too hammered at the fucking
run a train on.
Right, I bet you there is.
This has got to be a lot of golf drama.
Rory's wife was slaming
too many shots after fucking he won
and shit.
You're opening up a whole can of worms.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to go there.
Should we close the can back up?
Sorry, bad joke.
And that is it for the
DCMO podcast.
I'm enjoying this.
Honestly, it's so much fun.
This is wicked.
We're taking that in the comfort zone.
You guys are so buttoned up with you guys.
It's so buttoned up with you guys.
It's a tough.
PGA is on another level of
like being strict. It's like almost like
you know, the game needs to continue to grow
and I think what they don't realize sometimes they're starting to get a little
bit better at, but not really, is
you know, they want to attract a younger audience. I think they kind of
somewhat need to do a better job of that by making the game a little bit
more fun. I'm 19. You got Ben,
what did PGA do to your Instagram, didn't
they? You were posting, that's how
you got big, right, mostly, or no?
No, like you did a lot of golf videos. Yeah, yeah,
they're huge in the golf space. They sent me a couple letters
were just like, fuck off. But now you can't
commentate on golf shit, can't you? No, then they just heavily
fly. Like, I'm not, they came and uploaded. They had me all
band and all that stuff which is fine i guess i mean whatever let us uh let us know what you guys think
we're talking we got to do some sort of prank a golf prank or something yes yes we're trying
to think of some ideas if you guys have any ideas comment them we're trying to do something
you know something creative something we haven't done he's leaning more toward the savage side of
things hey oh i i love it any prank you can i mean that's that's me people i think well again
people don't know me enough like when i'm hanging out with my friends and whatnot we're always
joking we're always messing around some of stuff's just not
not PG-13 at all, right?
And I would love to be able to express it,
because I think it's funny.
I think it shows the finer and funner sides of life
for me in general.
I just wish I could talk about that more
and be more like that,
which I can, but again,
I respect and have a great relationship
with all my sponsors,
and I love them dearly.
They're family to me.
I don't never do anything to hurt them.
That's what matters most to me,
but again, I want to show people that side of me.
Well, this is a good start.
I think it's pretty decent.
You got a YouTube page too?
Yeah, it's just Bryce and DeShambo.
We'll put that link in the description.
Make you guys go subscribe.
Let's send some good traffic, boys.
See how many subs we can put that up.
Damn, let's go.
100%.
By the way, now that you came on here, because guess what,
there's not a lot of guys that would come on the show
because of fear of, you know, losing sponsors or whatnot.
You fucking stuck it out, came out for us, did us a huge favor.
We have your back, and I can't speak for the full send audience
because they all fucking hate me, but I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure that they have your back as well.
I'm pretty sure they have your back as well.
Nice.
Any more questions?
I'm honestly like free to go.
If you got something good.
Just other things outside of golf.
Like what else do you enjoy doing on your own time?
Or like, is it all golf, golf, golf, golf?
Ping pong.
Oh, that would fuck you up.
You nasty?
Oh, good luck.
We got a table here?
Are you nasty?
Yeah.
We got a table?
I got a table in my house.
You shoot?
Guns?
Well, I don't know.
Your guy was just going like this to me.
I don't know if he was saying.
Yes.
I love.
I love. I've got three guns.
Oh, really? Yeah, I've got an...
Where do you live?
Dallas.
Oh, good.
By the way, that penalty, point off, you just change subjects.
What do you mean?
He was talking about guns. You always give me shit for change subjects.
He was talking about guns. You transitioned to fucking...
Where do you live?
Well, now we're really off topic, so...
Sorry.
I was just going to ask because he has guns. Like, I don't know.
Oh, smart. Fuck. All right. You're trying to get into a gun control debate here.
Please don't.
State-by-state gun laws and backfired.
Cool.
Yeah, so I've got a few of those.
They're fun.
Definitely want to learn about how to get more.
I think they're fun to have and good to know how to use in certain situations,
you know, if anything, just to protect yourself or whatnot.
Not saying it's going to happen or anything,
but it's always good to know how to do you something.
If somebody comes on your property you don't want or something like that, that's Texas, though.
And then, you know, I used to game a little bit, like Fortnite and stuff.
I love playing that stream for a little bit on Twitch.
again, just trying to do anything and everything, Slack line.
You know, slacklining is?
No, no, no, what's that?
You know, like tight rope walking and shit?
Yeah.
Okay, that, but the thing's a little wider.
It's not a wire.
Are you good at it?
Yeah, I walk right across and back.
Did you ever do it over like a pit of out?
How did I get into that?
How did I get into that?
So I had a buddy of mine, sorry, I thought I was going to lay to like balance or
golf or something.
No, yeah, seriously.
I'm serious, so like, I was trying to actually get better centeredness, if you
want to say that, like, for your golf swing so you can control your golf swing a little bit better.
love basketball then basketball with the net and just the hoop i feel like you don't want to
switch it every time oh yeah i mean learning how to make the same motion every time repeat motion
great at free throws not like shack uh but great at free throws uh bentley has been unbelievable
the super speed you guys know what the bentley super speed is no no no the car's guy um you're not a car's
guy no like i don't know too much about the fucking those things a beast i used to have that
for uh a little bit and they switch it out every 5 000 miles from me they go sell the car
so it's like a VIP service it's unbelievable yeah free car every day brand new not every
5,000 miles yeah every 5,000 miles which is awesome so bentley's been unbelievable with me and I've got to
design four or five cars now which is really you've got any extras uh no I have to give them back
and then they sell them because we always usually give something to the full said audience from every guest
we could we could work on something by the way I think we could actually do something talk to the big man
okay okay I can talk to my guys there or Steve will do it just buy seven of them for
I was wondering if he was going to be here.
Steve's like, Bentley, I'll give you 15
Maserati's in a Lamborghini.
It's like, Jesus.
Oh, God.
He's a, he's a, something else.
Some special, right?
Yeah.
He's the man.
Steve's the man.
How much weight did you gain?
You gained it.
So I gained, I gained about 35 pounds.
I was like 205 coming out.
And then I went to 240 and about a year and a half,
which was, it was not on muscle.
It was definitely a little bit of fat.
Then I trimmed down back to 225.
I did, like, an extended bulk period.
Yeah, you were fat for, like, a little bit.
I was.
I looked like you.
I looked like you.
Wow.
Easy with the fat joke, sir.
Come on, right?
Wait, you look great.
I'm just saying, like, I looked on TV.
I'm like, fuck, Bryce is going to need the diet.
Yeah, now, now that's not really that much.
No, that looks good now.
That looks good.
But I'm saying, but that's what happens, right?
You got a bulk fat and turn into muscle.
Gabe just got a half chab over there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, watch off.
He's so cute.
He's going to say, Dave's tried to bang every single one of our podcast guests.
yeah
yeah he's trying to go on a tear
it's like fuck man
all right but this Saturday
what do you think
should we do a match
should we do a prank
I think we gotta figure something out
we gotta do a match
vlog
yeah
and then prank
prank would be legendary
we gotta do it
oh yeah
we just gotta figure out a way
to have people
not know who I am
that'd be so funny
I mean that's the problem right
you go to golf course
and be like oh my gosh
you know whatever
it'd be funny in a disguise though
coming as too
it's yeah it's tough
with you guys too
yeah I mean that's the problem
so
we'll figure something though
yeah we gotta
something good though yeah 100% it won't be bad we'll think all right um one other thing i just
i need to ask what's the history behind the the the hat because seeing you every time i see you
it's the hat it's just the hat it's a great it's a great question like yeah it's the driver cap
and everything what what got you into like that so when i was 12 or 13 yeah yeah i got a huge bag of money
no i'm kidding um when i was 12 13 i was playing in this junior golf event
And my favorite golfer was Ben Hogan at that time.
You know who he is?
I hope, do you know?
I don't know who Ben.
I'm going to search him up after this.
I'm going to search him up.
Jesus.
Oh, my God.
I just got into golf.
I'm really trying to.
I don't want to show you right now who Ben Hogan is.
I'm going to go forward without telling you who this person is.
You know what?
You know what?
We have Bryce in here.
We should analyze Saleem Swing.
That would have been great.
I'll do that for the video.
Yeah.
Okay, perfect.
Oh, for the video.
Yeah, yeah.
I need to get a couple tips, too, man.
This is me right here.
It's good commercial.
That's actually pretty solid.
I mean, it's all right.
Salim's going to get really good, man.
Oh, what are all these nudes over?
Yeah, exactly.
DPs, DPs.
No, that's it.
Yeah.
He's like, oh, shit.
He's like, did he sway it?
It's actually pretty solid.
We just got to work on, like, through impact.
Your backstroke and downstroke are fine.
That sounded bad.
Your follow through and you're finish.
Everything about golf.
Yeah, you can apply to talk.
Without any context, sounds sexual.
It's crazy.
So he's got a shot.
Salim's got a shot to be good.
Actually, he doesn't even finish this.
I want to play, honestly, I just want to play professionally.
Yeah, and now back to the top hats, yeah, the driver cap, just to finish it off.
Because every time I hear Bryce, like, I just picture that.
So, yeah, so Ben Hogan was a main inspiration.
And when I was 12, I had this hat that looked, every guy was wearing the same hat at this golf tournament.
And I was like, I don't want to look like them.
So in the pro shop, I saw that there was like a driver cap.
And I, Binhoegos was my favorite player.
I was like, okay, I'll just wear that hat.
My dad is like, don't do it, don't do it.
Don't do it.
And so, what do you guys?
Sileem.
I'm laughing.
I don't know.
He's dialed in.
No, I really want to play.
I know.
Oh, my God, bro.
At least by the time I'm like 25.
I'm still young.
He's a big year.
Remember we get to the back of 30?
I really want to be good.
I love the game.
I really want to be good at the game.
It's all good.
I love games that are hard.
We got to change something.
I love sports that are very, very hard.
So, like, if I can get good at this, man, oh my God.
So, like, you wouldn't, you wouldn't mess with bowling.
It's not something to interest you.
Bowling is pretty easy.
Fuck bowling.
I think pretty, bowling.
Fuck, Ralph, Lauren.
All right.
We good?
Yeah.
So the hat, real quick.
Just to finish off.
It took us 20 minutes.
We could get a lot.
All right, the hat.
Okay.
So, we're all delusial at this point.
I should have.
I wore that cap the first time.
in that tournament, even though
everybody didn't, or my dad didn't want me
to do it, I won my first tournament
and I was like, okay, I won my first tournament, let's
wear it again. Second tournament I played in, I won
that as well, I was like, shit, I got to keep
wearing it. He's got to go to the bathroom.
Keep quiet, keep quiet. Last thing
on the hat was that
when I went to SMU, that's where Payne Stewart
went. I don't know if you know Payne Stewart.
No, he died in the plane crash, didn't he? He died in a plane crash
in 1999. He wore the same cap. He won
two U.S. opens and a
PGA Championship.
So he was very influential as well.
It had a super silky swing.
You actually might like it.
I mean,
if probably have time.
We got 20 more minutes, 30.
Yeah.
Kyle, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, at least 40, right for you?
Yeah, we're good.
If you got Payne Stewart.
Payne Stewart.
P-A-Y-N-E.
Stewart.
I think it's pretty solid.
On the longest episode, Bryson,
by the way, hats off.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, that's really cool.
Obviously, you know, we love golf.
We, you know, I wish we could golf fucking every day, man.
It's awesome.
We should play more.
Man, that would be the best thing ever.
You guys can keep going if you want
Go to the bathroom
I love that man

We talk with
I want to ask a long question to the guy
Dude
What's going on here Gabe
You're just trying to hit on Bryson or what
You were sitting in the back of the room
And he lifted up his shirt
And then you came right behind the fucking screen
Well
Was boring

No, I am, I'm very boring
There's nothing wrong with that

Longest podcast
I mean do you think
Do you think that we have
enough stuff here. I think we did
a great job. I think we're good. But I think
that the good news about this is, I don't think this is
going to be our last little rodeo together.
Fuck no. I think that we should all get
together on the golf course. We need your help.
What should we do this Saturday for real? Should we do a prank or
should we do the match? Let's figure it out, though.
Let's take time enough of our prank. If you guys are listening,
this Monday, Nelk, we're doing something.
Golf prank, new episodes
every one day, full-send podcast.
Bob, you're right? That's it.
I love it, it's so hard. This was dope, though.
This was one of my personal favorites. This is one of my
personal favorites so far.
Thanks, man.
It was an honor to meet you guys
and you guys have done something
that's transcended
just normal podcasts
and interviews
and things like that.
I can't think you enough.
So it's pretty sick.
This is something you should say that.
We are all fucking rallying
behind Bryson for the rest of the season.
100%.
Right?
Just the season?
Betts are going to be locked in.
The whole entire rest of his life.
Oh, thank you.
There you go.
We are committing to Bryce of D.
No, I'm telling you guys.
For me, I've always been somebody
that tries to be as open-minded as possible with anything,
especially when it comes to golf.
That's why I've done so many things.
I've tried so many things.
And with people,
I try to be as open-minded as possible
to see the value that they bring to life.
And I think you guys bring something
that's so unique and different to the world.
I think that's why you guys have been so successful, man.
It's awesome.
Yeah, we're just real on camera, too.
That's the most important.
That's sucking each other off.
Let's wrap this episode up here.
Let's go.
All right.
We'll see you guys next Wednesday.
