You I mean 29 under the the record set last year by cam Smith at 32 under Lois in a PGA round I mean there it’s a good course to start the year it’s the top 50 players and champions so it’s no longer the century Tournament of Champions

Week he did struggle but first tournament what did I tell you I I called it in the fall the first couple tournaments he’s gonna he’s gonna have to figure it out it’s not the fall anymore yeah it’s different fields yeah that’s that was a hard field that was a
Tough field I mean top 50 ranking you had Ricky J or Justin or not Justin um Jordan um you had Chris Kirk who won you had Max H’s in there Max hom in there you had um some good Jason day K morawa Xander shley Scotty Sheffer I mean
Scotty in it of itself is a tough opponent to go against I know but that week is over once again congratulations Chris Kirk on the Victory and another congratulations goes out to Lion trees for winning this week’s PGA fantasy in the Tea Party um fantasy league yeah so
Congratulations to Lion trees yes good stuff lion trees way to go lion trees um I’m pretty sure lion trees is that guy I don’t know if you’ve seen like the PGA um on the ti on Tik Tok where it’s like Lion trees must make a hole in one
Here and it’s like a 700 yard par five pretty sure that’s what that is but congratulations nonetheless way to win the first week um he is in the lead for the segment yep and for the overall so yeah big shout out to them this week the Sony Open got it this
Time yep I got it this time had my weeks backwards last week but Sony Open kicks us off for tournament number two yes sir and we are sticking in Hawaii yes we are staying in Hawaii we are at the Y Al Country Club all right butchered it butchered it yeah good old
Honolulu um par 70 only 7,000 yards which isn’t super crazy again should be another easier easier course to play um not as big of purse which goes with the field that you’re playing with there’s a cut this week yeah there is absolutely a cut this week it is not the champions in
Top 50 no there was no cut last week um good old DP but yeah still a good a good a good field this week I think I think so it’s GNA be a more allaround field you’re not GNA have your bruisers up front yeah I mean you’re not gonna have Scotty you’re
Not gonna have Jordan you’re not gonna have Ricky you’re not gonna have um some of the bigger names Xander um Colin I don’t think they’re playing this week um but this is going to be your all-arounder Fields the guys that are you know top 100 yeah ranking but not
All of them um 52 100 rank in the world yeah we will see Mr Chris Kirk yes we will do we think we see a back toback no we don’t no we don’t if he does all the power to you seriously if you can go back toback in Hawaii Hawaii
Is yours take take Hawaii for the year Mr that would be cool Hawaii is yours all right do we have some odds yeah we’ve got the odds here we’ve got leading off even after the disappointing round LV gabber at plus 1200 he’s the leader he’s the leader we got Terrell
Hatton at plus 1600 joining him Mr Fitzpatrick um we got Russell Henley at plus 2200 we got Brian Harmon at plus 2500 Mr zalatoris makes an appearance at plus 3,000 Cory Connor at plus 3300 we’ve got Cam Davis Eric Cole and Chris Kirk at plus 3500 um we got biang
Hunan uh JT poson at plus four 4,000 um seah Denny McCarthy uh SEIU Kim who was last year’s winner okay um Hideki mat uh matama last uh two years ago’s Masters winner um and cooch yep makes an appearance this week and Justin Rose at plus 4500 uh Brendan Todd is the uh
Standalone at plus 5,000 and we got Harris English AE Bea um at plus 5500 and then topping it off with the kind of middle of the field uh Stephan joerger and Adam hadwin at plus 6,000 I like that okay solid little crew there so yeah I mean we still got some we still
Got some good names in this field a lot of good names for sure for sure and like I said though this is more of a middle of the road field I think this is anyone’s tournament it it really can be it really can be I mean you saw last
Week the lead change I mean after day one we had a 50-year-old out of Colombia that’s true just leading the pack coming out of nowhere that’s true so who knows I mean it and that was against the big dogs H so yeah it literally could be
Anybody I like it I like it I think it’s going to be a good one you got a top five for us I do have a top five and this is in no particular order but I got Chris Kirk making in the top five I like that I got py love
That I got Terrell hen okay I got Adam hadwin okay and I got dad you got dad I got dad in the top five okay I got him in the top 10 I got dad top he’s just a consistent player well that’s what I’m saying if he goes out and shoots 68 68
67 67 he’s top five I think yeah easy top five well that’s what I’m saying if he’s that consistent player you’re not gonna see a 75 Round out of him but you’re not gonna see a 65 round I mean you might but that his 65 his mind yeah his 65 are
Few and far between but he’s also not going to go shoot 75 475 either no not unless conditions are just yeah terrible he’s going to shoot consistently between 68 and 70 yeah so I think if he can go out and shoot 68 68 67 67 I think we see
Him in the top five you think do you think 10 under wins I think because it’s par 70 oh it’s a par 70 then yeah par this week we might see some 65s from dad then five under I then I’mma I’mma rewind that and still keep him in my top five
But we’re gonna see a 65 65 64 64 out of him okay we’re gonna see right around it’s gonna be a 20 under Victory okay 20 to 21 under I think it’s gonna break the 20 okay it’s either going to be at 20 or
A stroke or two more than 20 okay I can see that so I think top five you got to have 19 18 19 under to get top t top T5 okay so I think I think that gets that top five is that 1819 number yeah okay I like that um my Dark
Horse I got Mr zalatoris zalatoris is your Dark Horse he’s my Dark Horse when was the last time he played a tournament and did well I know I really think they kind of overshot his odds yeah granted the field is a little you know less powerful but I
Mean you’re just I mean you’re just straight up right about that I mean even the tournament what end of December yeah TIG tournament he still didn’t play well I mean he got dead last well he he’s coming off an injury he hasn’t played in a year yeah a serious
Tournament I just his I think his odds are too high just because of his name but I I see him as a dark horse I think if he comes out and wins this tournament I think it would be hug it would be massive for his career and he would keep
On the momentum the problem is he has little to no playing time he’s coming off of injury he’s hasn’t been in a serious tournament situation in a while I think he’s a good Dark Horse for the week outside of his odds okay I think this is more of the you take the odds
Out of play I think he’s a good Dark Horse Victor like this is a true victory for him yeah okay see that but on the odd side I do have another one and that’s going to be Yak baa I like that that’s the dark that’s the Dark Horse
Based off the odds but I like zalot Taurus as a comeback Dark Horse okay like a comeback player of the tournament yeah ex sweet okay um so yeah and then my winner overall winner I got Fitzy okay I like Matt fit Patrick this week he’s just he’s just good he’s always
He’s always in the top 10 always and I think he’s on top 10 like locked in top 10 oh no doubt and if his iron game is consistent he’s going to be amazing at this tournament he’s GNA be very hard to beat at this tournament if he can get
His irons on I agree because his problem right now is off the te yeah for sure and the par longer par thres are his struggle he if he can hit the longer par thres and you know land the ball 15 to 10 feet from the pen he’s gonna have a
Good week oh yeah so and the good thing about this being a par 70 and a shorter par 70 is that he can get away with yep not very good off the te because off the T he can go Woods that’s true but I just don’t want him like his problem is
Scrambling because he scrambles From the Rough and then loses a stroke to the field right right right right so if he can find the Fairway consistently this week which he hasn’t struggled with yeah but then use the irons from that 150 to 185 range if he can dial that in I think
He’s golden this week yeah like putting’s always pretty good short game’s always pretty good driver has been good now it’s figure out the the medium to long irons so that’s that’s my picks for the week I like your top five might have to mirror it but mine is a
Little different than yours so my top five in no particular order um I’ve got seah dalala okay I was really impressed with how he played last week I like that although he didn’t you know finish the way I was hoping he still played really good last week I
Think I agree I agree some stuff to clean up but I think he’s just a couple of things that clean up um I’ve got Fitzy Fitzy Terrell Hatton okay I think lber or leig sorry ludig um I think he cracks the top five this week it’s a
Little softer of a playing field I think now that his first big tournament non-fall tournament is over with I think he’s still going to have some jitters because it’s like yeah this is full-blown PGA race for the FedEx Cup exactly this is race for the FedEx Cup like it’s not fall
PGA nothing against it this is not fall PGA now yeah um and then to top it off I’ve actually got will zalatoris all right will zotus as well yeah I’ve got will zalatoris um as my regular top five okay um my Dark Horse I’ve got a Milano guo we saw his
Name a good bit Yeah a good bit last year at least cracking the top 15 he didn’t play too bad yeah because I mean I think he’s still what I think he’s in his maybe third year on tour yeah second or third year on tour grinder he really is I think of any
Tournament his name was there with this playing field I think I think he has a shot I agree I like that pick plus 10,000 odds yeah so I like that pick that’s a good Dark Horse there um obviously we’d like to see SE Kim go
Back to back I think that would be sweet that would be cool um but yeah that’s my that’s my top five in in Dark Horse who’s your winner My overall winner and this is just because I would really like to see him do well is Will
Zures okay I’ve got I’ve got him winning because I think I mean same statement as a Milan ago yeah of any tournament yes he’s coming off of injury but I think seeing him work on his game while he was playing at tigers tournament um back in December I think seeing that and then
Him having what like a month off right around a month off I think he took that back working on it yeah I think he’s going to going to come out here and and hopefully win that would be amazing the kids I I like I said I I’d like to see
Him win I have him as a dark hor for different purposes but i’ I’d like to see him come back and do well for sure speaking of Tiger Woods and uh everything he’s been going through in his tournament he’s separated from Nike he has parted ways with the Nike
Sponsorship after 27 years but there’s the next chapter there is rest assur he has confirmed he will be at the Genesis Invitational in February I know he’s the host but according to his Twitter he said we’ll see him in February can’t wait and him saying we’ll
See you we’ll see you in February does not entail we’re just gonna see him on the TV we’re gonna see him play y we’re gonna see him play so him wearing his foot Joys around what kind of sponsorship should we expect who knows but if anyone wants to sponsor us we’d
Love that too so serly Nike you just ran I mean you just dropped a $200 million contract come on bring it on $50 I’ll take it I mean 50 bucks I mean I’m not going to show this but DP yeah I’ve got one right here right here but I mean I just
Let me just flash this but no in all seriousness I’m excited to see kind of the new Noo-noo of Tiger Woods does he come out with his own brand does he like I I don’t I don’t know what to expect very well could he’s I mean he’s been
Big enough for a long time to where he could well he’s always had the tww series through Nike so I mean do you just I wonder I just don’t know what you could do I yeah I wonder what happens with that though I wonder if he can take
That from Nike if he’s I mean I would I would bet my savings account that he has a good good lawyer to where if he did end up separating from Nike which he did that he could take his tww brand with him I I don’t doubt that but I’m worried
About the how do you bring tww when it’s been stuck on a Nike for so long you know what I mean yeah because it’s like it’s all Nike gear just with the tww symbol so I don’t know I guess that’s something we go to wait and see yeah I’m
Sure there will be an announcement a week or you know a couple days someone will leak something Tiger will be wearing something you will still see him in Sunday red if he makes it to that point just won’t have a Nike check on it
So end of an era so different one of the biggest Nike done some freaking deals man yeah Jordan Tiger Woods that’s all that really matters but they put Nike on the map um but yeah anyway I think that’s it that’s it for me don’t forget to putting your

Congrats Mr. Kirk
Who’s buying some Tiger branded apparel??
Where do y’all think he’s going to sign? Or will he make his own brand?
