NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT’S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR GAME DAY. HE OBVIOUSLY LOVES VANDERBILT, LOVES THE PROGRAM, LOVES BEING BACK THERE ON CAMPUS. I HAVE NO QUALMS WITH THAT. WITH WHERE HE WAS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO HOME AND SEE COLLEGE GAME DAY. >> I’M GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC. THIS NBA GAMBLING STAND HAS BEEN HEADLINE NEWS FOR THE PAST WEEK AND YOU TALKED ABOUT IT ON THE SHOTGUN START WITH ANDY. HOW MUCH OF A CAUTIONARY TALE IS THAT STORY FOR GOLF IN OTHER SPORTS TO PAY ATTENTION TO? >> WELL, IF IT’S NOT A CAUTIONARY TALE, THEN YOUR HEAD IS BURIED IN THE SAND. WE UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WITH THE PREVALENCE OF GAMBLING NOW IN OUR SOCIETY. THROUGH MARKETING EFFORTS AND THEIR VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL THESE SPORTS LEADS INCLUDING THE PGA TOUR, IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND NOT TAKE ANY INSTRUCTION FROM IT AT ALL. AND I THINK WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR SPORT IN GOLF IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT’S USUALLY ONE PERSON, RIGHT? WHO CAN DETERMINE HIS OWN SUCCESS OR FAILURE. THEY’RE SO MUCH IN CONTROL. TENNIS MIGHT BE A COMPARABLE SPORT. TERRY ROZIER, THE NBA PLAYER WHO IS ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN A DIVE, SO TO SPEAK, HE CAN CONTROL HIS UNDERS, RIGHT? I THINK WITH GOLF, THERE IS A SIMILAR SORT OF AGENCY, RIGHT? AN ABILITY TO CONTROL THE OUTCOME. OF COURSE, IT HAS TO BE A CAUTIONARY TALE BECAUSE THERE ARE MARKETS RIGHT NOW FOR A LOT OF, I WOULD CALL IT, UNDER THE THE RADAR HEAD TO HEAD MATCH-UPS, RIGHT? NOW, THE TALKING POINT FROM THE BIG REGULATED SPORTS BOOKS ARE, THIS CREATES MORE VISIBILITY. IF THERE’S FUNNY BUSINESS GOING ON, WE NOW KNOW. WE CAN SEE IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE NUMBER 110th PLAYER IN THE FEDEX CUP IS GETTING A LOT OF ACTION ON A RANDOM FRIDAY HEAD TO HEAD, WE CAN SEE IT. BEFORE, YOU MAY NEVER KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING IN SOME DARK CORNER THAT’S NOT REGULATED. BUT GOLF HAS SO MANY MATCH-UPS AND IS THE ONE SPORT WHERE YOU REALLY CAN’T CONTROL AN OUTCOME BECAUSE IT IS SO SINGULAR, OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE A CAUTIONARY TALE. >> SHANE, I’M GOING TO STAY WITH YOU ON THIS TOPIC. WHAT IS YOUR LEVEL OF CONCERN WHEN IT COME TO THESE GAMBLING QUESTIONS THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE, NOT NECESSARILY GOLF BUT THE PGA, WHAT CAN KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING ON OUR GREEN GRASS, LET’S CALL IT? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE EFFECTS THIS HAS IN GOLF. IT TURNS THE FANS INTO JERKS. IT CASTS DOUBT ON THE OUTCOME FOR THE REASONS BRANDON JUST SAID, HOW EASY IT IS TO MANIPULATE IN GOLF. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DRIVE THE BALL AND NOBODY WOULD BLINK AT IT. AND IT IS A POTENTIALLY RUINOUS HABIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO. SO WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT OUR CONSTANT GAMBLING? IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY CAN DO TO CONTROL IT, IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ASK. ON THE PERFORMANCE SIDE, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO FIX THE RESULTS OR SHAVE STROKES, I THINK THAT WILL BE PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH. I THINK THE WAY YOU HAVE TO CATCH IT IS ON THE ACTUAL GAMBLING SIDE WHERE YOU SAY, HERE ARE SOME IRREGULARITIES. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON THIS AND IT HAPPEN TO GO THIS WAY SO WE’LL INVESTIGATE. THERE’S SO MUCH HAPPENING IN MODERN LIFE THAT IS CAUSING US TO DOUBT OUR REALITY IN SO WAY, RIGHT? A DEEP FAKE AI VIDEO WEST LOOK AT IT AND SAY HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST ANYTHING? HOW DO I KNOW MY FAVORITE AUTHOR ACTUALLY WROTE THIS BOOK OR DID HE USE CHATGPT?
