Patrick what’ you do well today um I managed I managed well I mean I uh I didn’t get off to the the hottest start I chipped in uh on 13 I missed a bunch of greens uh off the start my short game was really sharp today and
Made a bunch of those mid-range putts to keep the momentum going throughout the round is it easier when you’re bracing for the worst of the weather and it doesn’t get bad it was uh you know I was glad to see the change in the forecast
It was a much better weather day than I anticipated uh today was actually pretty nice other than some early showers pleased with the chip or the sunshine uh one probably facilitated the other did you did I hear you say you thought the grain were running smoother
Than Tori I think I think so yeah definitely sorry about that I don’t like that L Alex so um obviously yesterday oh yes obviously yesterday um you were you were your results of the voting by the board came to fruition and we all know what happened first question is is did you
Feel comfortable with everything that you saw in the agreement or are there things you think still need to be worked out yeah I think um you know hopefully this strengthens up the PJ tour that’s the that’s the idea and I think it will uh the investors that we have coming
Alongside are very experienced and very sophisticated and um hopefully it’s a a a real positive step in the right direction I think it will be Jordan Jordan said that the same thing you just said I’m not suggesting that you’re using the same cards to read off of but
The question is is how is it that these guys and how much involvement are they going to really have and what’s going to be going on from a I don’t know from an operational standpoint day-to- day what what exactly are they going to be involved in yeah I think anytime someone
Makes a sizable investment like that they’re going to be watching over the investment um and I think because of their Sports Experience we’ll really lean on their expertise to try to grow the sport and and make it as good as it possibly can be is it too simple to say
That half of the investment is just paying off a bunch of players uh I don’t think that really really is Harsh I get it I I don’t think that’s really a fair characterization I think uh you know it’s bringing it’s bringing the PJ tour into the
Future and then when you talk about the future and this came up and it’s a chance for us to do better make our product stronger Etc what exactly does that mean how can you I’m not suggesting everything’s perfect but what’s wrong with it that needs to get
Better well I think you’ve already seen some some changes by the tour over the last couple years sizable changes and so uh getting top guys together getting the top guys together more often which I think is good um you know this event uh you see has the strongest field that
It’s had in a number of years and I think that’s fantastic I think that’s what the fans want to see and so I really hope that um you know this this deal brings about change that really makes it better for the fans because I think they’ve suffered a lot over the
Last couple years and and I hope that it’ll the product will be better for them going forward the 12 billion dollar valuation are you what you’ve seen are you comfortable with that number I don’t know if that’s really my uh place to say I’m not an expert at valuing companies especially especially
One as complicated as the PGA Tour um so I’m going I’m not going to comment on that that’s not nearly my expertise made a com it’s the game ised someone who’s probably be in some of those discussions it comes to you agree with that I think you know
Everyone’s divided like I’ve said over the last couple years I’ve been pretty pretty the the same I mean people are welcome to make the choice that they’d like to make it’s a personal choice it has been and uh um you know as far as coming back we’ll see it’s up to a group
Of us I know players feel all over the board on that issue um and so my job as a player director is to represent the entire membership and so if something like that were to come down the road I’m sure we would have to have a robust conversation around that topic do you
Have any sense of how a majority of the players think on that subject I appreciate that it’s wide ranging but I would yeah I mean good question I I’d have to talk to him more to really understand I mean we’ve been so focused on on this last
You know the last many months on this deal that I haven’t really been putting a ton of thought into that until the moment comes because I’ve been trying to focus on what’s in front of me how much time did you spend on the phone would you say from Sunday
Onward h a little bit had some conversations could you try and quantify without being exact I mean not four I mean not as much as I’ve been golfing that works beautifully um were you surprised by the I mean some people have claimed it’s a big distraction to to be
So invested in this thing and then try to play golf for a living you seem to do okay at least for today yeah at least for today um I think you know you have to compartmentalize when you’re doing what you’re doing you have to be as
Focused as you can be and maybe it’s a little harder uh with all the distractions but um resolve to do as best I can at focusing at the task at hand and I thought I did a good job of that today out there at spy glass Your Allegiance as you mentioned earlier
Was to the players yep okay but does that not change now that you’re running a business versus being a nonprofit organization I think the PGA Tour is a 501 C6 nonprofit that will stay the same and um you know one of the one of the objectives of the
Nonprofit is to benefit the members and I think this uh new paradigm will benefit the members and so I don’t think that’s lost and then yesterday we talked with Jordan about the the need I guess to have the negotiations and ultimately bring piff into the relationship do you
Feel that piff needs to be part of this group anymore I think the PJ tour is definitely uh Stronger after having this deal uh go through um as far as piff I haven’t been having any you know real conversations myself about that so I think you know that’s a question for
Down the road uh for the board and for also the the newco board to decide did you think of any of these answers while you were standing over a shot today I I didn’t I was I was focused out there I mean I missed so many greens I was
Trying to trying to get up and down I wanted to ask go back to one kind of phrase you used about the fans suffering how do you think they’ve suffered what what did you mean by that yeah I mean I think the uncertainty and so much conversation around things that aren’t
Golf is not what people want to see people want to see golf with the best players in the world playing against each other they want to see as many shots as they possibly can and uh I don’t think they want to see or hear about this extra noise yeah and and uh
On the product improving um I I I get a sense that a lot of the focus uh at least from the tour side is geared so much toward content and and media is that is that accurate do you think and and do you know exactly what that means
Even though I’m in the media yeah well I think it’s back to my I’m saying about the fans I mean we really want to be the viewing fans in this case viewing fans yeah I mean U from my seat the more people that are interested in golf the
Better um the PJ tour is not only here to appeal to make golf appeal to more people but also to have those people watch and be able to follow us and so if there’s an increased uh attention on the media side of things to be able to show
That to the the fan base more I mean I think that’s fantastic no I had one more do you know what you’re doing the rest of the year schedule wise uh yeah loose idea 80 90 what would keep you from just saying exactly what you’re playing this year is
It because in case something comes up and you change your mind and you’ve let somebody down or yeah I I I think for the most part that’s that’s mainly it although I’m sure you could tick off the list a number of spots that we could bet come hell high water I’ll be
There understand that I guess what I’m getting at is we could I today today was a little better we talk about the you know the uncertainty of which tournaments are getting which fields and I’m I’m just what keeps a player from what’s Happ no I’m just kidding what
Keeps a player from saying look I’m playing I’m playing this this year say that again well I’m just wondering what would keep players from saying here’s what I’m doing this year uh if tournaments have not so much complained but talked about the fact we don’t really know who’s coming until probably
Like you mentioned a little bit of the let down if if the schedules were to change you said you’re coming and now you’re not and yeah there could be yeah okay thanks pck all right thanks guys
