Player of the Year this year Jared Who you gonna go with last year just to remind everybody to to remind uh our viewers uh Jan and Jared went with John ROM and I went with morawa so Jared what are you gonna do this year because John

ROM ain’t gonna be in it that’s for sure unless he wins for a couple Majors right yeah I’m I’m going morawa this year um I think you know last year was underwhelming as far as wins he he didn’t win till he won in uh sumwhere in

Asia right late late in the fall um I think that start should start you know kickstarting him for this season but really if you look at his numbers from last year they were right in line with where they were the previous few seasons he just didn’t happen to win last year

So I think he bounces back this year I think he wins multiple times I think he’s still a player who’s getting better and he’s still only 26 or 27 years old so I’m gonna go with morawa all right that’s a good one I mean Mara I think

He’s going to have a good year I agree um he broke through at the end and he and he you know he always had the tendency when he’s leading to kind of stumble and he didn’t when he played in Japan which was good um he actually got

Stronger and I think that probably helps his confidence you know I think it’s going to be somebody we don’t expect I think it’s going to be someone you know I I don’t want to put too much pressure on ludig but you know someone that’s got an impressive game okay well do you have

A few names like uh what are you are you talking like what so you’re talking about somebody who hasn’t been there before yeah yeah I mean like Max I think Max H’s got a great golf uh I I like his game everyone keeps saying that shley is going to break

Through and in win a major I’m I’m not as gungho as him as I am on Max Homer I think he’s got a great attitude he’s very popular and um he’s really comes through when the pressure’s on all right well we we’ll put hom down for you then

And I’ll uh I’ll I’ll go with my uh my my pick my my top pick in Rory uh Rory just sort of like Scotty you know he didn’t get a major win so I know he’s going to be hungry for that he’s still

On top of his game so I can see I can see a rebound big year for Rory uh in 2024 okay next up let’s go with uh which PGA toour regular do you believe is going to have a breakthrough season now this is going to be somebody who’s never

Won a major never won a FedEx Cup or ever finished in the top 10 in the world um and uh LA and it also does not necessarily uh have to be somebody that is going to be in the top 10 or going to win a mage just somebody that’s going to

Break through and and wow I didn’t realize this top 40 player uh could hover around the top 10 uh or maybe even he does win a major so um Jan I already know who your pick is because you told me on our uh phone call so uh go ahead

And let everybody know who your breakthrough player is who did I say it was gonna be Iris English oh well yes I do think that I mean the word is on the street that you know he still hasn’t reached his potential everybody keeps saying he’s

Such a good player he’s you know he’s a steady player but he never breaks through and he’s I think he’s like 34 so he’s at he’s about at the end of his what they consider the you know your Peak and um I think it’s time for him to

Make a move so I I’m looking for him to to do it this year he’s he’s got enough confidence now he’s started to play better I think he’s going to be someone that breaks through when no one’s expecting it all right yeah because last year somebody would have been smart if

They would have said Brian Harmon or wam Clark so those are the types of players we’re talking about so uh so English could definitely maybe he’s that guy uh who can uh find his way into that type of season so and by the way those of course those two players won Majors but

Uh Jared who’s your breakthrough player yeah I’m going sah tagala here um you know 26 years old so I think he’s still ascending um he needs to clean up the driving just looking at his stats like off the te is pretty easily the weakest part of his game but he’s a good

Iron player he’s awesome short game he’s a good Putter and he he hits it plenty long enough he just he just gets wild from time to time so he needs to figure that out a bit but you know he sh he’s shown upside right I mean he competed

Last week he competed at Waste Management H was that last year or two years ago he competed I me you know he’s he’s he’s been he’s been up there at top of the leader I think he’s ready to get a big win I think he’s a guy who who

Could win a couple times this year uh mine uh my my two players are going to come down to uh minw lee uh and Ricky and uh of course Ricky that means he’s GNA win major that’s what it’s going to mean for Ricky I think he’s

Ready now and we we we know we went through the personal and the changes and it looked like uh that that was over looked like he got back to where he uh should have been last year so now I think he’s ready to take another step uh

So um so I I’ll say Ricky but yeah minwu was someone that uh very impressed with of course Jan you know how well he played over in Australia and it looks like he’s ready also to take cuz he’s been a little bit inconsistent in his limited PJ tour starts last year but uh

It looks like that maybe uh he’s uh ready to because nobody really knows who the guy is uh in America on the PG tour so maybe he’s that perfect breakthrough type of guy that’s a good one I mean I I don’t know how much he’s going to play

On the DP tour as well but he’s he’s he hits it his swing speed is up in the top five I mean and he’s a little guy but he’s you know he’s played junior golf I mean I I’ve known him since he was like n years old and he was he’s been a

Superstar um and same as sahit I think that’s one thing that’s a good player is that he’s he’s been there he’s been around the world he’s he was top Junior he’s he’s had a lot of competition which really helps I mean the players that have had a lot of competition when the

Pressure’s on in the Mages is huge all right comeback player last year I went went with Jason day Jan went with Franchesco malar and Jared went with web Simpson so we kind of struck out there uh you did well yeah they did okay that’s right he did get a win so uh yeah

That that worked out now I maybe a little bit more but uh he could have been a little bit more consistent but it does look like maybe this could be the year that he’s full fully back to being maybe a top 10 player again so comeback

Player uh Jan who are you gonna go with well I I’m really really positive on Ben arm he’s just you know when when the coach is telling you that you’s ready to go you know that’s that’s a good sign um and Sean has said he’s he’s he worked so

Hard and did you make those many changes and you know now he’s got the putting with the long Putter and um he’s got you know I think he’s settled down he’s he’s in Orlando he’s everyone keeps saying he shot some really really low rounds this winter so that’s pretty impressive all

Right Jared who is your comeback player of the year and I know you’re not going to say will zot torus I’d like to um I’d love to see I mean I think I think the easy answer is Justin Thomas I just think he’s too good to have another year like he did last

Year I think I think he’ll bounce back um the the guy I wanted to ask Jan about is Gary Woodland who I know had a pretty serious surgery i’ like I’d like to see him bounce back any thoughts on him Jan yeah well he’s such a popular player

With the players and uh you know he’s nice guy I’m surprised he’s playing the Sony that quickly so that’s good news that it that it you know obviously it wasn’t um malignant and they got it out and and he’s ready to go so he’s he had terrible headaches last year and um so

Now they’re saying that uh they they GNA give it um they’re gonna hopefully he does well and and I’d love to see it because he’s he’s a good guy and I’m excited to see how he plays I I think it’s he’s just happy not to have any

Headaches so um he’s got a great golf game you know he really hasn’t done much since he you was open win at at Pebble but he’s got a great golf game and he bombs it so so you’re gonna go with JT meaning he’s gonna win a m yeah I’ll go

With yeah uh sure yeah I think sure it’s a pretty obvious pick but he’s got to win a major that’s not so easy to go and win a major so you can’t you can’t like predict he’s gonna break through a player like that unless he wins a major

Oh yeah yeah no I mean he’ll either win a major or he’ll be you know back inside the top 10 but of the Year all right he’s working really hard yeah I’m gonna go with one of Jan’s favorites I’m gonna go with Adam Scott so uh I think it’s uh I think also

You know Justin Rose is someone too that uh one of those uh oh yeah we have a flesh flood warning here oh I was wonder what that was so uh yeah but Scott is both of those guys have another big one left but I think Scott you know you

Tell me Jen CU I know Adam’s been uh he’s he’s always been a somebody that has never I don’t know it just always seems like somebody that’s he’s so he doesn’t put the pressure on himself to be a great player as much as I think he could be I don’t think that

Was ever it just never seemed like it was something that was his goal uh but at this stage of his career it just seems to me that you know what time’s kind of running out I need to take advantage of my game as best I can

Totally agree I mean know he’s 6 but he’s very fit and he works out like absolute crazy um and you know everybody loves his golf swing his golf swing is amazing he’s very physically strong so it’s not a it’s not a case of being too old definitely the the man is you know

He’s classy the only thing is he’s very private you know he he doesn’t like to even U bring his kids or his wives out to the golf course you know I mean he the he’s always trying to keep them away from everything you know whenever we go

To any of the proam dinners like at the open he doesn’t bring his wife the only time you ever see them is is um when they play the Pres cup when they all they all the wies come but he’s he’s kept his family away from the Limelight

So he gets when you know you have trouble even finding him at at during the week and even at restaurants you know he stays with his family his parents come um to a lot of events and but I think if he can just fix his putting you know he’s great from 10t and

Long puts but the the short putting is is you know how do you win a major when you miss so many short Parts you know you just can’t do that in a major all right now I’m going to go through some groups and this is going to

Be players to win a first major so um you know I’m not going to make it easy so Three Man groups we got four groups okay you got to choose one player from each group uh first group Burns young zotus Jared I’m going Z tus I know there’s a

Chance he’s never the same guy again but like when he’s healthy we’ve seen him what he has six top 10 in Majors already like he you know he’s he’s been there if he can figure it out healthwise um I I I just think he has a better chance than

Sam Burns who has yet to compete in a major and okam young has um but I don’t know his I think I don’t know if he’s he’s slumping or well cam cam young just hasn’t seen seemed like the same guy he’s going through changes right Jan I

Know maybe one of these Insider reports you’ll have some information on that but I remember hearing that he was going through what it was it equipment or something equipment changes I think right equipment change yeah because he swing he he sticks with his Dad he works

With his game on his with his dad and and um you know and he’s a PGA Pro so he he works really hard on his game I think he’s I think he’s going to be a breakout player um I don’t know that he’s going to break out at a major he gets really

Nervous with now because of his you know the when you’re short game when you’re puttying is your weakest part of your game makes it hard to win a major I’m going to go Sam Burns wow Burns okay why do you trust Sam Burns is gonna break out finally he

Did win match play which was important that was nice to see but well he’s got a wonderful short game so again you need that with a with um a major my only concern is that he gets that right to left going and once it starts going you

Know he tries to hang on to it it makes it go more left so that concerns me but if he’s working on his long game um his coaches always saying they’re always working on it but he’s got plenty of power and I love his short game all right group number two Tommy Fleetwood

Ricky Fowler Terrell Hatton Jared I went Fleetwood here um really more by process by process of elimination yeah I don’t I don’t think Rick is gonna get it done Hatton has no top 10 in a major since 2019 he just hasn’t really been in the he always gets

Off to a slow start that’s the problem yeah and I mean fle Fleetwood has four top 10 in the last two years I don’t really trust them to close the deal in a major but I think if if one of these three guys is gonna do it I I’d bet on

Tommy yeah maybe what Tommy needs is he needs to uh he needs to go in uh to the clubhouse early on the final day with the lead and have players behind them choke that’s how it’s gonna happen that’s how it’s gonna happen yep that’s what he needs and he needs to do that

Anywhere he just needs to get that first PJ win because that’s even B problem yeah yeah you gotta get that monkey off your back yeah Jan you know I’m I’m probably gonna go with Jared’s too I I I and you know and I was I was down on

Fleetwood last year I didn’t think his golf swing was good enough but the you should see how hard he’s worked uh it’s been unbelievable and his swing you know I kind of call it the American influence because he was never anyone that worked out you know was a typical kind of like

A allow you know just go to the pub after you finish and you know that was it but he has really duckle down um his workout program is really impressive and his practice is is getting there so and he’s he’s obviously got a great short game you know I didn’t like the fact

That he went from open to close so quickly and under pressure with that much speed um he was going to be able to lose control of it coming down the stretch which he’s which he’s done uh but now his swing is really improved and his workout fac you like I said his

Workout is so good that he’s getting stronger so he can hold off that position so I think and it’s time for him to break through I think once he does it’ll be it’ll be fine and and he’s still making so much money he’s got really good relationship with his caddy

And I think that you know his caddy didn’t get down on him sometimes you know your caddy gets to be can be a problem if you haven’t won or you choke Under Pressure and’s being so supportive that I look for him to be able to break through

All right even though I love Terrell hat and golf swing sure but you know I think reason that Terell doesn’t win the Mages is that he doesn’t have the patience you have to be so patient in a major it takes six hours to play your first two rounds there’s too many players playing

You’re so nervous they got the golf course so hard and one little thing can set you off and you know what trails like you know he got such a temper it’s pretty funny to watch but and he he thrives on negativity but it’s I don’t think it works in a major well that’s

Why he always gets off the slow starts at the majors and uh he seems to always kind of get back into it but it’s just he’s so far behind so all right uh next group we have Klay hom and shaay Jared yeah this this is a tough group

Because I think all three guys could do it I went I went with hom though because I you know among these three guys he’s the one I trust most to close it out on a Sunday if he’s you know in the final group or two I think he what he finally

Got his first uh top 10 in a major last year at the open so I think you know that could kind of propel him to winning one of them this year Jan well as much as I love Max and and uh I think klay’s gonna do it I think

Klay you know he got married in full they stayed there and got a be had a beautiful wedding after the presence Cup in in Italy and it was gorgeous and I think that’s going to settle him down now and I think I think it’s time for

Him to win a major and then the last group is feno J M and Tom Kim Jared I’m going sunj here um I I like sunj this year I think he’s gonna have a big year um I don’t think Tom Kim’s ready quite yet I think you know maybe I

Think he’ll win one eventually maybe a few years down the road phenow I I worry if his windows kind of closed you know he did have a bunch of top 10 in the majors but he he actually has no top 10 in the majors over the last two years

Now um so I just wonder if he kind of missed his chance to win I think sunre is kind of in the right um point of his career to maybe maybe pick one of these off Jan I’m going with Tony you know I love his golf swing and he’s he has he’s

Really done as little as he could possibly with that with that uh you know his his ability and his talent he’s got a great golf swing his putting has improved tremendously and you have to have both and he’s one of those players that is kind of calm which you need in a

Major you need to not have that and down emotion so I actually think it’s time for him to break out yeah we’ll see I mean not a good year for him last year so this is a big year for him to kind of get back uh and

Um looked like he was on the cusp but uh because he did win that what he won that first FedEx Cup playoff event in 2022 I believe it was and then last year it just didn’t go well for him all right yeah he wanted Mexico but that was a pretty easy one for

Him now um winning the FedEx Cup is different from being player of the year so as we saw last year so uh who Who you gonna who are you gonna go with uh Jared as far as who you think is gonna win FedEx Cup this year I’m gonna go morawa if he’s gonna

Be uh oh he’s gonna Player of the Year and win the FedEx Cup I mean yeah if he wins the FedEx Cup you should be Player of the Year probably that probably means you won a few other times so yeah I think I think it’s going to be a big

Year for morawa okay Jan well I’m probably going to go with Victor again um because back to back yeah I think it’s I mean the players hate the format they absolutely hate it because in the last few events you know you get so many points but now that he

Understands how it works you know it’s like a lot of players go okay I get it you know they I think he’s and you know and I like his his gos swing since they he changed it you know he changed it beginning of last year and um and and he

Really good and he’s improved his six foot putting and His short putting has just gone you know everybody talks about how bad a chipper and bunkers he was and he’s he spent a bit of time on that so his game is he’s pretty much got it all

Going right now he does he could have a scary year because he still doesn’t want to me you yet
