There’s this famous clip of you explaining how to hit a fade. I’m sure people have brought up to you a million times. Oh, yeah. I hear quite a lot. Can you Can you explain to us how to hit the baby fade, though? Um, [Music] all right. Next up on the tea, Mr. Dustin Johnson. Dustin, thanks for being here. Yeah, thanks for having me. All right. Say it’s uh Sunday morning, final round major championship, and you’re getting to the range. What have you already done before you’ve gotten here? So, before I will walk on the range, I’ll usually go do my like putting drills. Um, so just run through just drills on the, you know, whatever putting drills I’m doing before I like, you know, technical stuff on the putting green. I’ll do that before I come to the range. How about anything in the gym? If you’ve been throwing around weights or I’ll be depends on obviously if I’m if it’s Sunday and I’m in one of the later groups, we’re going off pretty late. So, yeah, I’ll probably have already done a workout and then I’ll usually I’ll get to the course and I’ll do like a warm up again back in the gym um for like, you know, just like a 20 minute just get the body moving and firing. Yeah. Um did you do that? Do you feel limber right now? Are you warmed up? I did get a stretch. I didn’t um I had a few other things to do or I would have. Fair enough. Uh then what club did you just grab? Is that a 60? 60. Always a 60 to start. Yeah, I’ll start with 60. Just hitting some few hit a few like hit us a couple here. I’ll hit a few shorter ones just to get moving and then I’ll kind of do a like I’ve got a little bit of a routine. That was fantastic. It’s a perfect start. Yeah, it is. Um, yeah. So, what I mean obviously with these first just kind of limbering up, right? Yeah. The first ones I’ll hit just like not even really I’m not trying to hit certain like numbers or anything like that. I’ll just just trying to get loose. Yeah. And then so maybe hit like say five to 10 shots just getting loose. But usually when I get to the range like I’m already like warmed up loose kind of ready to go. Yeah. Yeah, your body’s already kind of work through. So, I’ll work through my all three of my wedges, which would be 60, 54, and you touch them all. Pitching wedge. Yeah, I’ll hit all three. Okay. So, you go straight 60 54 pitching wedge. What uh do you know what degree your pitching wedges? 48. 48. Okay. That’s like a old school proper pitching wedge. Not one of the I kind I for a little while I switched and went 46 50 54. Yeah. Yeah. So, I had put a 50° in and kind of bent my irons a little bit stronger, but I’ve been playing like this like since I’ve been on since I was a kid, I think. A while. So, it’s worked out okay for you. Yeah. And it didn’t work like And I just switched back like a couple like a month or two ago. I tried it for like a year and then it didn’t work. No. All right. Hit us to 60 here. But uh yeah, so I’ll work through like so I kind of have three shots with each wedge, like a half, a three quarter, and a stock. And so I’ll kind of work I’ll work through those with all three of my wedges. You want to show us one of each of those with your 60? Sure. And for me, it’s not like whether I just call them a half, 3/4 and Yeah. Yeah. We won’t hold you to exact 50% here feel. But was that your half right there that you just hit? Yeah. Which would have been Yeah. I mean it was close. What did it say? It was 89 or Yeah. Well, it was carried 80. Yeah. 81 carry. So, which is close. It’s 85 is what I’m trying to hit it. Nice. And then the 3/4 goes a little further. 95 95 105. Okay. So, usually I’ll work through those. I’ll hit a few shots at each distance. Do you uh have you always And then if I’m if I’m struggling like I’ll I mean I I’ll I’ll keep hitting it until I like feel comfortable until you get it. Yeah, it’s not. Let me see. Let me move this. Yeah, it might it not I don’t think we calibrated it right either, but it’s okay. Have you always been it been been a uh big launch monitor guy? Like do you remember making the transition from when I do it was I mean I never was actually until until it like came Well cuz it wasn’t a huge thing obviously like no one really had one you know the reps had them and you would use them to maybe like fit a driver or something and then but you didn’t really but I started using one David would probably know the exact year, but it was just when I remember the first time I had I think it was LA or like that’s when I really maybe it was it was that year. It might have been even 17 when I like right around then. Yeah. Um so you were just mostly feel until then, right? But it was and then I really wanted to start dialing in my wedges. And so like for me it that was the probably the biggest difference was just getting instant feedback. That’s where you got this half 3/4 full thing like boom 85 95 105. Well and then too instead of like I mean it helped a lot like on a say a par five that I might not I couldn’t maybe couldn’t reach or not many of those but yeah or I hit say I hit in the rough. Yeah. Yeah. Instead of just blasting it down like as close to the green as possible. Yeah. Like I would lay it up to like 85, 95 or 105 depending on the flag. Suddenly you know that there’s something you can do and then well instead of like you know I get a lot of like 40 or 50 yard shots you know on you know cuz I’m pushing up and then a lot of times you get stuck like to flags where you can’t you you know you got to hit a perfect golf shot to get it close. Yeah. So it was just it made it made things a lot easier. Can tell now you’re determined to hit this 105. No, this is 95. Oh, that’s 90. So that should be that should be pretty close. They can’t see it. Just you can say it says, you know. That was that would have been pretty close. Yeah, cuz this is tracking the ball. So, it’d be I think it was spot on. You like playing when it’s hot? Yeah. I like it. I like when it’s hot. You’d rather be hotter. There you go. Look. 94.5. Yeah. Um, yeah. I prefer the heat over playing when it’s cold. I mean, I don’t mind I don’t mind whatever we’re playing in. Doesn’t bother me, but if I’m going to pick one, I’ll take hot. You know, remember the hottest golf tournament you’ve ever played? I mean, there’s been a few, but yeah, I mean, Singapore’s pretty hot. Yeah, we played in uh we played in Jedha one time that was extremely hot. Yeah. And then I I still remember the I don’t know Caves Valley. Oh, that was that might be the hottest I’ve ever been on a golf course. Just baking. Yeah. No wind. It was 150° humid. Yeah, it was uh it was hot. You ever wear rain gloves in the heat? You ever have to do that? No. You guys have caddies. You keep your grips nice and Yeah. I mean, I carry one just in case, but to be honest, I don’t know if I’ve ever I mean, I can’t remember the last time I actually wore one. Really? Even for rain? Yeah. Just try to keep it. I just usually generally my glove works fine. Um I’ve worn them when it was like really cold and raining. really like two bo all two almost just like just cuz I was it was winter gloves. Yeah. Yeah. Just cuz it was so cold. But that was that was probably 10 or 12 years ago. Is that full? Just about. Close. Yeah. Yeah, 100.0. I like that. But yeah, it was it was just under. All right. So, I’ll hit Yeah, I was I was still All right. This will be a just a dead stock one. Stock 60°. And you don’t mind hitting 60 full? Cuz some guys will say, “Oh, I don’t really like hitting it past, you know, like 80 yards or something.” Wow, that was right over the flag. Well, 108 little downwind. Yeah, wind just picked up a little bit. But yeah, I don’t um It all depends. I mean, obviously I’m not going to hit a full 60 into the wind. Yeah, just keep climbing. Well, it just doesn’t I mean, you can’t really You can’t control the spin. Yeah. Or the distance really. But like I’ll hit full 60s, you know. I mean, obviously you don’t hit that many. Yeah. Depends on the golf course maybe. But yeah, very rare do you hit, you know, full 60s other, you know, you get downwind fronts or, you know, you get a perfect number to, you know, where you cover. I mean, but you still hit them. Yeah. You just don’t you don’t hit a you just don’t hit a whole lot of them. You’re usually just hitting it to a Yeah. to a number. It’s very rare that you even get like just a dead stock eight iron. That’s true. I mean, yeah. Where it’s no wind, it’s flat, it’s Well, I’m just saying it’s just you you very rarely do you get just a perfect full shot with any club with anything, right? I mean, you’re always It’s always you’re either trying to hit it a couple yards further, take a little bit off. Yeah. Launch it high, launch it low. Like, you’re never just hitting just a straight stock. That’s interesting. Yeah. Shot. So, um you know, obviously on the range, try to practice all of them. Hit different ones. Do you feel like during your range sessions, you’re trying to like are you trying something different on every single golf shot? No. Well, like rain’s more like for me like dialing it in. Repetition. Yeah. Getting my feels, you know, making sure I’m hitting my numbers. Yeah. And then, you know, cuz as long as I’m hitting my stock stuff, I know, all right, I can add a couple yards or take some off. But so, so just kind of just going through just getting loose, ready to play. Yeah. You know, you wedges I’ll mostly hit, you know, I’ll just try to stock and, you know, I’ll hit some fighted ones or turn one or Yeah. pay whatever it is just cuz you know try to hit you know maybe some of the shots you might need on the course. Sure. All right. And you’ll touch each one of your wedges on the way through. Yeah. Are you thinking about like do you have a wedge swing thought? Are you thinking about anything as you’re standing over it? Whether it’s contact or takeaway or anything like that? No, mostly like how far I want to hit it. Yeah. this. But you just think boom the number 100 and then it goes 100. That’s sick. Oh yeah. So I’m just trying to think exact distance I want to fly it. What shot I’m hitting the flight kind of those things. Do you like to see it fall one way or the other? I mean it looks like these balls are flying extremely straight, but do you like to see it fall just to the right? But like, yeah, I mean it kind of depends. So like my half wedge shots, I like I like to hit those straight to if anything just like almost feel like they’re turning a hair. They don’t baby baby draw like Yeah. be like a foot. So really little. Yeah. You know, I mean to me it feels like I’m draw like hitting a big draw, but it’s it’s not. But it’s just uh you know and also you know kind of flight it a hair lower just cuz it’s a half swing so it’s not going to um but yeah just a touch I feel I want to feel like I’m drawing it just a hair oh I hit that one a little thin but little thin that is straight though one foot draw though I think and flew a hair too far but not much. Yeah. Still pretty much right. Are there golfers who’s uh who you’ve kind of tried to emulate or borrowed part of their games over the years? You’re like, “Man, I like the way that guy hits his wedges. Let me let me try to do that.” Or you just have done it your way. Um, yeah, I would probably say I mean obviously you always like people’s wedge games or short games or way they drive it or Yeah. But yeah, I’ve always still just doesn’t mean you don’t admire what they do, but just haven’t tried to like you haven’t tried to steal it from anyone. Yeah. I mean, it’s hard to do. I don’t know how you would. Yeah. So, just try to make mine better is what I do. I haven’t tried to like copy anybody else’s. Just tried to take what I have and make it a little better. Do you think your golf swing has changed a lot over the years? No, not really. I wouldn’t think so, but I don’t know. No, I mean it hasn’t. Yeah. I I look at old videos and videos now and they all look But you know, obviously videos from when I’m swinging really well and playing really well to, you know, video and then, you know, when I’m struggling and comparing them, they don’t they really don’t look look any different. I was going to say, at least for me, if I’m looking at a good swing and a bad swing, I’m like, I don’t really I couldn’t tell you without seeing where the ball went which one is good or not. But Well, yeah. I mean, that’s the thing, though. Golf is so I mean, you know, there’s such little small differences that make, you know, huge impacts on what you’re doing. So, it’s all that’s why repetition and always trying to hit numbers and things is generally what what helps me the most. Yeah. I don’t want to screw up the rhythm of your warm-up. Can I get you to skip to some hit some mid irons? Sure. Or will that mess you up? No, I’m I can do I’m fine. Uh I usually go Yeah. What do you do? Wedge eight. You hit your wedges and then pitching wedge. You go to eight iron. Yeah. Pitching wedge, eight iron, sixiron. Evens. You guys all like even clubs. I’ll switch though. Like so usually during tournament days, okay, I’ll do evens, but like practice days I’ll do odds. Okay. Just to keep everyone in the mix. Yeah. Well, just that way I get I hit all the clubs. Yeah. Well, you don’t want to give, you know, some clubs too much love. No, you got to keep them on their toes. So, yeah. Generally, like on Yeah. practice round days, I I’ll hit odds just to just so they’re all getting hit. God, that’s nice. Yeah. So, what do you think kind of a stock eight iron? Do you have a a carry number in your head that that flies? Does it vary a little bit week to week depending on where you are? I mean, like, yeah, obviously it’s going to vary depending on temperature and where you’re at and you know, there’s a lot of factors that come into how far the ball’s going, but like we’re here in Dallas. It’s really hot. It’s I mean, a stock good one’s probably going to fly close to 75. Yeah. Like that last one was just a little bit under stock and it went 170 which is about right. That’s probably that’s about what I felt like I hit it. We’re talking to Louis. He said he hits it he ends up hitting it way further on the golf course than he does on the range. I’m the same. Is that adrenaline or who knows what it just happens? while you smoked that 177 carry. Yeah, but I mean it’s hot and too it it kind of just depends on like for me that’s why you on the range always try to you know I’ll hit some like try to smash it just hit as far as I can with you know each club just to kind of know what my max numbers are. Interesting. It’s like here’s your upper limit. Well, then cuz you know, you get on the course, you’re feeling good, you got confidence, you’re swinging at it well, like you know, the ball definitely goes. It’s going to, you know, you got a little more adrenaline going cuz you’re playing, you know, it goes, it’ll go a little bit further. It’s not big difference, but Yeah. In big moments, do you notice like if you’re in contention, oh man, maybe you take a half club less because you know it’s going to go further. Is that like overstated? That’s just something we imagine would happen. I mean, I think that goes back to again like, you know, knowing what your max distance cuz like if you know where your max distance is, you can’t hit any further than that, right? So, so yeah, I just think it’s more, you know, obviously there, you know, coming down the last couple holes, the adrenaline’s pumping. You’re feeling good. You got a lot of confidence going. So, you know, you’re just swinging at it, you know, maybe a little bit more aggressive just cuz everything’s going well for you. So, it’s not that you’re not hitting it any further other than, you know, there’s only so far you can hit it. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that’s right. Like to always think that maybe there’s just another level you could access. You’re just in the perfect there is. But that’s why you’ve you try to access that on the on the on the range. So you know like all right, even if I hammer this or whatever, whatever you want to call it, you know, hit it as hard as I can. Hit it perfect. Like this is as max distance it’s going to fly. So then, you know, all right. And with eight iron, you like to you’re also going to hit this just a pretty damn straight golf ball and you like to work it a little bit more. Normal shots going to fall just I just want it falling to the right. Um but again depending like I don’t mind I’ll draw it too just depending on the wind or Yeah, I usually I like to hold it with into the wind. So, you know, for the most part, if it’s a left to right wind, I like to turn it into it like just to hold it. And if it’s right to left, right to left, then you’ll Yeah. Fade it. And if there’s no wind, most likely it’s going to fade. Unless it’s a, you know, short irons, I’ll turn over. Once I get to the longer stuff, I generally hit them all left to right. Yeah. And in terms of setup stuff, alignment stuff, like the fundamentals, how much how much of like your practice or your warm-up is just paying attention to that stuff and getting it uh Yeah. I mean, for me, it’s always like every day is just basic fundamentals. Yeah. So, linement, setup, you know, you want to, you know, you just want to be as consistent as possible with with everything you do. For you, the ball is like a little up of center. Is that right? Um, with an eight iron, yeah, it’s probably going to be pretty center. Yeah, pretty close to middle. Maybe a half ball. Yeah. Um, just for me, I’ve always played everything kind of middle. Like wedges are going to be middle and then everything else is going to move up a little bit with each club. Love it. All right. Can you turn one a little bit right to left and like are you making any adjustments to do that? Um, not not the beauty of asking you question while you’re thinking through it. Um, yeah. I mean, I’m going to adjust my just my setup a hair. I’ll set up a hair more hair more closed and I’ll take the club back a little straighter. Okay. That’s your one foot draw here. Here, let me hand you a six. That was a nice draw. That was a nice draw. I mean, it’s a beautiful ball flight. So, we got the DJ Protos in play here. What’s the best golf shot you’ve ever hit in your life? Um, probably circumstances I would say probably the sixiron on 18 at Oakmont. I was going to say we were just at Oakmont but I don’t think it’s like recency bias to no from the outside that would be my guess. Yeah. I mean under dur you know the circumstances but then too I mean I don’t know the year before at Chambers on on 18 the drive and the second shot you know where two unbelievable golf shots obviously I end up three putting and but given the circumstance though what a golf shot and you know kind of knowing what I have to do yeah I mean it was a really narrow fairway to hit the fairway I smashed one and hit a beautiful five iron in there Yeah. So, but yeah, under the circumstance, I would say 16 at Oakmont hitting a sixiron in there really close to to when you know I was just at Chambers. I live in Seattle. Me and Jibo behind you there. And we always marvel at that fairway of like, well, where are you supposed to hit this thing? Yeah. Especially, especially when it’s firm and fast like it was. Yeah. Yeah. There’s that little baby fade. Weird. Do you remember the first time you realized you were really good at golf? Man, I was a kid. I mean, I knew I was pretty good. I didn’t know. I probably really didn’t I mean I said that I was gonna play like be a professional golfer but I that was just you know I was a cocky teenager but I probably really didn’t believe it though until I was in college. Okay. So because then you could see that you would you stacked up well or you just felt like you had more control of your golf game at that point? No, I mean obviously I was going based off of a small sample size of, you know, playing around the local clubs and some, you know, junior tournaments. Yeah. You’re big fish in a smallalish pond, right? And then getting a, you know, once I got to college, probably after my Yeah. sophomore year in college and that’s when I really, okay, I’m pretty good. I can I can play with, you know, the best amateurs in the world. So, or, you know, I was one of the best ammers in the world. So, it was That’s right. So that checked out. So yeah, you actually were. Yeah. Um, and then obviously, you know, playing y’all won a few big tournaments after my senior year in college, like I won the Northeast and the Monroe and uh played Walker Cup and so obviously that was kind of the start of my golf career. There’s this famous clip of you explaining how to hit a fade. I’m sure people have brought up to you a million times. Oh, yeah. I I hear it quite a lot. Can you can you explain to us how to hit the baby fade, though? Yeah. Do you know how to explain to hit the because it’s natural to you? So for me, no it’s it’s not because uh it’s not natural to you to be honest. I mean it is now but when I like my first eight years on tour I played a draw. Yeah. Yeah. So and then hammer a draw. But yeah, I used to draw everything. I wouldn’t hit a fade unless I had to like go around a tree or something. Right. But um So, working with Butch, like even the first like four years we were working together, we worked on hitting phase, but I still would never hit one. That’s interesting. So, you could fade it on the range. Yeah. No, I’d hit them on the range. We’d work on it, but like on the golf course, it would was like no chance. I was doing it for for a long time. Um, I still remember it was at the BMW um at Cog Hill. Uh-huh. A one, but it was one of the first times like with like pressure that I hit fade in in in the tournament. So, so what what were you doing differently to fade the ball versus So, for me, like I still do the same thing. You know, I set up feet a little bit open. Okay. A little open. Club at the target. Uhhuh. And then I’ll take it back on my feet line and then release it to the target. Release it to the target. What does that mean? Release it to the target. So, I take it back on on my the angle of my feet. So, my feet are open. So, I’ll take it back a hair outside and then I’ll just release it to the target. Wherever I’m heading, I don’t know. Just as simple as you can get. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. A lot. I mean, you’ve hit some good little fades over the years. I think that seemed pretty flush. Yeah. Beautiful. Like I said, it works sometimes and it doesn’t. Uh what do you have a favorite golf club? Um what’s your favorite one we haven’t hit yet? You like the big one? Yeah. I mean, who doesn’t like hitting the driver? Let’s Let’s see. Let’s see a couple drivers and we’ll get out of your favorite club. I think so. Goes the farthest. What’s the funnest to hit, too? It’s the funnest to hit. All right. What do you have a driver swing thought at the moment? Um, yeah. I’m I’m trying to get I’ve just gotten some bad habits lately of or, you know, swinging a little too much. left. Just haven’t It cuts more. Not necessarily, but yeah. Start starts more left. Got it. Got it. Um, so I’m just I’m trying to actually feel like I’m I feel like I’m drawing the driver, but obviously I’m not. I’m still hitting nice little fades, but but to me, just getting the club path a little Just working on the path a little neutral. It’s getting a little more neutral. So, it’s not not as much to the left. So, to knock some of the curve off. Yeah. Man, that’s really good. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. It was. Yeah. So, like if you had if you were like, “Okay, my favorite drive is when it fades five yards and it’s My favorite drive is when it goes in the fairway.” Anything in the fairway as far as possible. I don’t care how I hit it as long as it goes in the fairway. That’s my favorite drive. I mean, obviously, you know, you get a downwind, par five or whatever it is, and you hit a high high bomb. It’s uh, you know, those are always fun. But for the most part, my favorite one is just hitting it straight. Yeah. Or not, it don’t have to be straight. Just hitting it in the fairway. Yeah. I don’t care how it gets there. But if I hit a lot of them like that, they’ll be in the fairway. Do you love golf? And have you always loved golf? Um, I think so. I mean, as far as I can remember. But yeah, I still love it. Still? Yeah. I still uh enjoy the grind. I mean, lately it’s been a little more frustrating than I’d like it to be, but It’s just golf some, you know. Yeah. I feel like the game is really close to being being good. And I don’t know, a lot of times throughout my career, though, I mean, I’ve struggled, but it for me it’s always been like really, you know, sometimes it takes just, you know, one swing or one shot or one round where everything flips and it goes the other way. So, yeah. And do you feel like it’s it always ends up being like a pretty little thing rather than some change you have to make? Pretty small. Yeah. Like I mean even something as small as like cuz I’ve I feel like I’ve struggled off the tea, you know, figuring out I was swinging a lot more left than I usually do. Yeah. My my path is. So, you know, just getting that out a little more neutral and, you know, already feel a lot more comfortable with the driver. Yeah. You know, hit it further cuz, you know, when you got more confidence that you’re going to hit one, you know, somewhat where you can find it, it definitely helps. Yeah. So, I don’t know. Could be something as simple as that. Oh man, I’d really like that one, too. So, used to say that you’re going to retire early, but it seems like from everyone that I’ve talked to, you still like working on your game. You still think you can be competitive. You still think I do. I as soon as I can’t be, I will I will stop. But yeah, for now, I still enjoy it. I’m still going to I still like competing, so I’m gonna give it a few more years for sure. Hell yeah. Uh, and I heard you’re a baseball coach. Is that true? I am when I when I So like I’ll I get to spend a lot of time with I I’ll be assistant coach like in the fall just cuz I can’t obviously with my job I can’t always be there. So um yeah, I help out with baseball, basketball. So I do enjoy that. You still got game a lot. I’ve still got a little bit of game baseball and basketball. Yeah. To dust it off. It’s It’s not terrible. And then uh do you before you’re going to the first te will you finish with a couple wedges? Um or do you finish with driver and then boom? no driver. And then I’ll usually hit I’ll hit maybe like couple wedges, couple eight irons just to, you know, kind of just to finish the session and then go to the tea or or like if the first hole is a a three-wood or or a four iron or whatever it might be off off the first, I’ll that’ll be the last shot that I’ll hit and you’ll go do it. Well, yeah. Just on the range. That would be what I kind of end with. All right. Hit us one more good one here, Dustin. Then uh and then we’ll leave you be do you do you have a this is sort of happy Gilmore question. Do you have a happy place on the golf course? Is there some somewhere when you’re playing golf or working on your game, time of day, place in the world that gets you in a good zone? Not really. I mean, I think generally I’m just happy being on the golf course. So, um, that is my happy place is the golf course. Um, all right. I mean, usually, you know, most of the time we’re as golfers or, you know, when we’re out there, if we’re talking or whatever with our caddy or Yeah. or other players, like we’re talking about everything about golf. So, Yeah. I don’t know. Generally, that that’s that works. All right. Do you have to hit a good one before you leave the range? Like, does the last one have to have to be good? Else you hit another. Um, I’m not going to leave the range on a on a missed shot. But, I mean, it’s funny. I mean, golf obviously is a really funny sport. Some, you know, some of the worst warm-ups I’ve ever had have been the best rounds that I’ve ever shot. and vice versa. Can you make any sense of that? No. No, I don’t think anybody can. But, you know, then have, you know, ter, you know, unbelievable warm-ups and play awful. So, it’s like, you know, it doesn’t make any sense. So, I try not to put too much value on the warm-up and just, you know, other than my wedges cuz I know that’s something I can control. Yeah. Like no matter how I’m swinging, I I feel like I can control my wedges. So, um, feel like as long as I’m hitting those well and controlling the distance, I’m going to have a pretty good day. Thanks for warming up with us. Appreciate it, Dustin. Thank you.

I don't know the Full Swing doesn't seem very accurate in the numbers it produces.
Never noticed until now that dj doesn’t interlock on the grip 😮
DJ wasn't here for this obviously.
Didn't watch, DJ is a washed up coke head and doesn't give a sh*t about golf. He got his blood money. Hope they never merge which at this point is looking good. PGA doesn't need them at all!!!!!! PGA TOUR ROCKS.
DJ is the best, so much to learn from his game.
This interviewer is cheeks. Can't believe he still has this job after dozens of awkward interactions with the world's best players.
I don't know who's worse him or Charles Barkley talking about basketball 😂😂
