American League West the Texas Rangers
Golf Club yes they own a golf course
they corn fairy event in like I think
next
week how about that shout out to your
boy all right lot to get to here in our
little happy hour a tradition that we
have here for major championships
elevated weeks uh LPGA Majors it’s it’s
a good crossover this week between the
RBC and having Chevron as well little
hung over from the masters of course
literally and figuratively I think but
um TC what what’s one thing you’re
excited about this week at
RBC uh I love this golf tournament I
think I think there’s G to be some guys
that probably wish that there was a cut
y this week there’s gonna be some guys
that are 10 15 20 shots off the lead
after after day two and they like man
can I just go home uh but I like that it
brings out a different skill set from
the week to week uh it’s you know
provides a lot of variety with the
leaderboard it’s it’s not a it’s not a
bomber’s paradise and it’s you know you
got to hit greens you got to putt well
like there’s no secrets around
Harbortown and I think that’s why I’m
excited because I think Tommy
fleetwood’s gonna win I think he’s gonna
win his first PJ Tour event this week
it’s just an AI generated version of TC
coming are are you sure you want to put
him in that category though because I I
mean there’s kind of a wrap of of people
who can never really climb them out in
at Augusta and they get real comfortable
winning the next week I mean this is
like Davis Love the third comes to mind
uh I don’t know if you want to I mean
that would end in a great career for
Tommy I just don’t think that’s what
you’re looking for TC yeah how many
times did did uh dl3 win this five six
17 I think uh true who could say I mean
numbers don’t matter anyway yeah I’m
trying to think anybody that that kind
of doubled up there anybody that uh spe
Ste sinks one a major
spe uh I don’t really see anybody else
that’s won a masters and a
uh third Greg came up or won won the uh
RBC
deep
scrolling he’s going down the
leaderboard Waton won it yeah all right
Cody what are you excited about this
week at RBC uh kind of the same thing I
mean a hangover week if you could ever
describe it but I know everybody loves
Hilton Head because you’re kind of back
a high pre pressure environment last
week and everybody’s just kind of
relaxed and families are back on tour
and and honestly what I was thinking
Tommy didn’t jump to my mind but I think
like ludvig is going to murder everybody
this week um and you know to come that
close and to continue the form uh I
don’t know why these guys outside of it
being a signature event they have to be
exhausted he’s going to load up on
Chipotle and just run everyone over is
there a Chipotle up there has to be
right there’s got to be H head gota
think so I am ex I’ll tell you exactly
what I’m excited for I’m excited for
Sunday right I think I have a tendency
in some of these weeks uh after Majors
to just be oh I don’t want an event this
week oh no and really that only applies
to the early part of the week right it’s
it is going to be hard to just get back
into all the [ __ ] of of that’s
surrounding the PJ tour we’ll talk about
some of that here in a second but you
know and and get excited for Thursday
Friday RBC golf I’ll probably be tuning
in a little bit more to the Chevron into
that but Sunday always bangs Man by by
the time Sunday comes around Masters
will be pretty far in the rear view and
it’s always you’re get a much better
chance of getting contrasting Styles
competing against each other on Sunday
at Hilton Head than you do a lot of
other PGA Tour courses right and it’s a
limited field event so we got almost
everyone there it’s playing in it
Scotty’s playing in it Rory’s playing in
it wendam BL it’s a lot of names web of
course all the Kevin kizner of course
like uh you know the sponsors exemptions
we’ll get into that as well but all that
to say like it we can sometimes have a
tendency to say all right this course
does not fit blank’s game right BEC it
doesn’t fit Rory’s game and he gets the
the biggest hit data golf for course fit
but that doesn’t mean they can’t compete
there right like usually one of the
bombers or longer hitters will will find
its their way into the leaderboard and I
I think this course sets up really well
for a limited field event I really do
think it does uh I think it’ll be I
think we’re gonna get a pretty solid
weekend out of this it’s I’m not gonna
Fain the super excitement come Thursday
but come come Sunday I think we’re gonna
have a good weekend I think CBS always
does a good job with it too it’s it’s
you know there’s good camera angles the
green like it’s striking architecture
there’s good view
it’s you know it’s cool they kind of
capture the vibe guys I do have some
concerns about ludvic just because the
closest Chipotle is 27 minutes away off
the island over across from Hilton Head
National he got all that money he got
Runners for that now TC we’re fine can’t
that be a good thing like maybe we
shouldn’t be doing Chipotle during
tournament week right I mean you know
that sometimes I can not agree with you
I mean I forget that he’s like 24 years
old he should be fine but I’m thinking
of my 37y old brain um I had a green
smoothie for breakfast and that that
drive today was rough so I know exactly
what you mean all
right uh we we we talk about this golf
course a lot about Harbor toown K if you
don’t mind throwing up uh we’re
incorporating some tools here from our
friends at data go of just just an
illustration here showing just how much
I don’t know how right way to say this
like driving distance is not emphasized
here at a scale that we don’t see on the
PGA tour right driving accuracy
emphasize just a little bit more around
the green emphasize just a little bit
more uh putting Maybe just a little bit
less an approach plays in about the same
as what you would expect um in a PGA
tour course right so again that doesn’t
say that doesn’t eliminate the guys that
hit it far but just a little bit more
emphasis on the accuracy is probably why
we’ve seen guys like web and and you
know Klay and and somehow spe I don’t
really know how have some success on
this course uh but again you get
contrasting Styles Matt Fitzpatrick of
course won here last year he had a T4
finished here in 2021 as well Patrick
Klay has finished third and second here
in the last two years cam Davis t7 and
T3 in the last kind of surprises me cuz
he’s you know more of a bomber but you
know good iron player I think the other
thing that doesn’t show up on this is
creativity I think you gota have some
creativity you got be able to like shape
the ball around you know I think that’s
where spe kind of sticks his head out
above the crowd you will see um a few
more more shots in the like 150 to 200
yard range than you might think on this
golf course so that that’s kind of a uh
you you’ll see less shots from over 200
yards on this golf course and uh just a
little bit more from 100 to 150 so
basically 200 plus yard approaches are
really limited on this course they’re
limited to just the par fives um and
everybody’s expected to have about two
of those per round so around nine shots
expected between that 150 to 200 bucket
uh getting into these are tools that are
come from data Golf and uh I find that
part interesting right it’s a it’s more
of a short iron midiron test than it is
a long iron test here you got to hit
your your your mid irons really well in
the part threes I mean there’s you know
ba 14 especially is like you got to hit
the shot man and or you got to take on
the risk at some point because otherwise
you’re chipping from back over that
green back towards the water and you
know 17’s no picnic 16’s one of the most
underrated holes on the course I think I
I love Harbor Town 15’s an awesome bar
five this is a place that we like again
we get to this next question Amal onic
of course uh great sending in questions
how are we feeling about Signature
Events on the whole seems like having
them the week uh week before before or
week after Majors will make them feel
less important I think I’ll honestly
when I put that question in there I was
like I agree and I’m I’m ready to
disagree with it already because this is
a a a a great like this an event that a
lot of these guys would skip for a lot
of reasons both for course fit and
Masters hangover but it’s kind of like a
no we’re doing this and you guys are
gonna be there like Rory you’re gonna be
there and Scotty you’re going to be
there I know you’re getting ready to
have a kid as well but you’re you’re
you’re at least in the in the tournament
as of now we get to watch these guys go
through this prism when it was a course
that was very easy for guys to skip if
it didn’t fit their schedule if it
didn’t fit their course fit if it if it
whatever this is I think a win in this
model designated signature event model
do I think they can probably go past 69
guys and fill out the field I do think
so but I don’t know I I’m maybe I’m just
got my D riter hat on here to say like
this is this is better than the RBC
would have been if it was not a
signature event so I agree with you too
I think I think it’s very much like uh
hey put your big boy pants on grind a
little bit this week let’s see who’s got
some mental toughness let’s see who’s
got some endurance or some some you know
some mental agility and I think also
like you’ve got all this momentum from
last week’s major you know people are in
the mood for golf you know
preconditioned to hey you know what
Masters was awesome last week I want to
turn on another good tournament instead
of just letting it you know go fow for
two weeks and and just doing pakana this
week I think I agree I think good for
establishing some
momentum I don’t know who we got to talk
to is it YouTube TV is it CBS is it NBC
is it golf channel is it I don’t know
who makes these decisions but we need
the multi view for golf now we’re
entering that time of the year where
there’s going to be multiple golf events
on at once like you need to give us that
option if for YouTube TV subscribers
like baseball has it basketball has it
football has it like you can watch two
games once there’s you can watch four
college football games all at once on
YouTube TV I need that in golf now like
it’s it’s time for that so don’t make me
put on my Vision
Pro just like it’s like I would love to
see just a stationary camera on number
nine this week number nine is yeah one
of the best par fours on the PGA tour I
think at this point it’s probably better
than than number four or than number 10
at at Riv just with all the you know
consternation around that one and kind
of how how how much how binary that
one’s gotten whereas I think number nine
at harbort toown is there’s a million
different ways to play it different
every single day depending upon where
the pen is and where the tea is and all
that it’s I love that
hole what is what’s a what’s a a
Heritage memory that comes to mind when
you think of this
event I think of us sitting around the
table uh with eating chips and salsa and
talking about how much coocher stinks
and then coocher goes out and wins the
next day and that was my the bunker shot
we we literally the very first knowing
up Podcast was 10 years ago this week uh
and we shout out TC was trying to [ __ ]
on Matt coocher all of my fenale
arguments that that you heard much later
in the podcast I was exercising them
right then right there saying Matt
coocher really good golfer he’s in
contention a lot and he went out and won
that week hold a bunker shot right in
TC’s face uh and that is the that is the
literally the image that comes to mind
it’s him taking his hat off and waving
it uh when he won that week so yeah
there’s so many I mean God walking
around there Cactus lime uh drinks and
just all sorts of uh going to the
Habachi Place sit next to Tim Clark at
the Habachi place or uh Randy asking
asking Ricky Barnes if he was staying at
Fran suis place this year and Ricky just
[ __ ] all over him just you know ry’s
time share there God like so many
memories from hton head we got to go up
one of these years it does not fit the
schedule ever with Masters just
consuming our souls the week before but
um quick shout out if people are
confused too I mean it is Big legit
10year anniversary week for you boys
congratulations on that if people want
to find that podcast they can go to our
our other our sister podcast channel on
the YouTubes and find that but uh you
know what really sticks out for me I
will never be able to erase how drastic
Stu sinks hat tan is and for some reason
like he is the character that fits so
perfectly with this event and the hatan
just as white as can be with that crazy
jacket that uh they love Parton jacket
yeah
yeah um uh also I want to shout out the
flyovers is a tough week for Boeing guys
with the Congressional hearings and
everything this is the RBC Heritage
presented by presented by Boeing that
snuck up on me too I did not know that
was coming but they do a uh you know
always it’s it’s always a 747 or or a
787 fly over real low it’s really cool
uh but man just just tough tough timing
on that one for Boeing this year Sports
washing
man Boeing maybe the original Sports
washers or maybe they learned a thing or
two from Liv what um talk to me a little
bit about sponsors exemptions this week
TC we have Gary Woodland Kevin kissner
Shane Lowry and won web Simpson getting
a sponsors exemption what are your
thoughts on this so I think we were all
a little bit bummed that Gary didn’t get
a sponsor exemption to Pebble yeah um so
no issues there I think you know he’s
he’s a deserving and everything he’s
been through and you know obviously a
fan favorite and a good guy um you know
and really all these guys are good guys
I don’t think
that’s issue TC’s good guy test here uh
Shane Lowry I think he was the first re
SE or like the first or second guy
outside the list uh so you know all good
there like he was close to getting in on
his own Merit kizner I mean I guess I
get it like he’s a he’s a you you know
he’s a South Carolina guy uh course fit
he’s been doing all the the commentary
stuff I think like if kizner doesn’t
play well a week like this then I think
he probably looks more towards hanging
it up and committing fully to The
Telecast stuff and then with web it’s
just like man like I guess he just needs
to ask himself like is this a good look
is this you know like the Optics suck
and and it’s not always about the Optics
but at some point when you’re a board
member it is about the Optics as as well
right 100% and the only thing that makes
this one different I think is that he’s
a pass champ he won this event in 2020
and he’s had he’s had success in this
event he was T9 in 2021 t16 2019 but
missed the cut last year t59 in 2022 so
and it’s his fourth it’s it’s what his
third or fourth exemption of the year he
got into Bay Hill he got into he didn’t
get Genesis he was at Pebble um you know
it just feels a little off where Stuy
won
more recently than web and st’s in a
similar spot in the FedEx Cup like why
aren’t we talking about Stu syn getting
in there should be a limit I I
understand that the the it takes a long
time for them to change policy and
everything else like that but with these
new Signature Events and how they’re
limited fields and everything else like
that they honestly should be capped at
one per year yeah I totally agree or
maybe two maximum two like especially
the way that the FedEx Cup works and the
75 like the 70 or the 50 and the 70 and
the 12
now all that it’s just like it’s such an
unfair leg up for him over stuff that he
hasn’t necessarily earned like Webb like
you want to earn it this week there’s
another PGA Tour event go down to go
down to the Dominican Republic and and
[ __ ] earn
it Webb has zero top 10s this year his
last top 10 was a T5 at last year’s
Windom um going back before that he the
previous last uh previous top 10 was a
t7 at last year’s Val Spar his uh
running Strokes gained a 50 round moving
average average is 0.1 so he’s like a
dead flat average PGA Tour player uh
over his last 50 rounds which is uh kind
of just a a cool a cool tool then same
he’s actually below average in his last
100 rounds question for you guys like
there’s so let’s say web finishes
60th this week what would that equate to
finishing down in the in the Dr this
week with the opposite field event
because I feel like that’s you want to
talk about you know competitive
advantages or or
kind of the game within the game like
that’s something that like I can get
down with what lonto Griffin or what
some of these other guys were
complaining about in the off season when
you when you kind of kind of distill it
down to that like let’s say T6 yeah
points wise you know no cut limited
field event guaranteed points basically
same thing we always talked about with
like the wgc’s right a guy can finish in
last place and still get you know before
they change everything a guy can finish
in last place at the hero not beat a
single guy in the field and still get
still get FedEx cut points or world
ranking points yeah just off the top I
mean elevated event or signature event
excuse me 700 points ver I’m pretty sure
the Dr is what 300 yeah that’s
correct if you give me a second if you I
can I can try to find you an answer on
that but so I think uh no worries we can
report back think I don’t think it’s a
lot it’s not going to be a lot it it is
like what they were whining a lot about
was like Hey you know a you get more
points for a T5 in one of these than you
like T2 in the Dominican wherever and I
don’t dis I still have a problem with
that like we’re talking about two just
totally different tournaments right and
if you totally you can always use the
the data golf tool as well of course to
to look at all the tournaments of the
week to say like the average skill
distribution in RBC Heritage is a plus
77 player which is like almost a full
stroke gain is the average player
whereas the average for pakana is
negative .83 so the average player is
almost a shot below average on the PGA
tour um and you know I know those
numbers don’t mean a ton other than to
say like that’s a massive distribution
like that is uh you know there’s gonna
be 50 players in the field I’m sorry 24
players in the field at Heritage that
you know gain over a shot per round and
there’s one at pakana right so you’re
just not beating golfers down there if
you live in the Dominican Republic right
now and you you need
Plumbing work done or fire put out call
either Surf Pro or somebody at the
Corral put the there’s plenty of
plumbers and firemen down there what’s
more of a disc mules or or plumbers and
firemen I think mules okay I mean
plumbers and firemen are you know that
those are upstanding well-paying jobs
and contributing to society
and I will say a a mule glossed himself
as a mule to to to uh to bring this out
it was not originally meant to be a
meaning term it’s not a demeaning term
it’s just representative of your of your
value somebody’s in the comments he said
Dave Scott TC thinks RBC stands for real
big cans I need to get my hand I was
getting ready to say I need to get my
hands on some of the big cans but I was
gonna throw that sound bite out there
but guys you got to help me out with
this one is Rory going to live I heard
all about it from so many places this I
heard that too man I heard that too a
credible in credible sources were saying
Rory is going to live for $850
million you know I’m told that was the
most credible Financial paper in London
most red Financial paper yeah in in
London uh that is now reporting on golf
allegedly wasn’t even saying that he’s
going it was like that that basically
they were reporting a rumor of course
everyone ran with it like they always do
and uh here here’s here’s what I’ll put
a call out if you have my phone number
like don’t text me about Rory to live I
I I was getting ready to I was gonna
name everyone that texted me like hey is
this Rory thing true and I was gonna
call you out on the Pod but I decided
not to do that to you and your fames I
was gonna name You by name like did you
did you uh uh text me on Monday evening
saying is this Rory stuff true like come
on like there’s a reason why we wouldn’t
say anything about it and that that if
Roy would have gone to live it’ have
been the the big like Neil said this
earlier in our slack of like the biggest
like words don’t matter in in maybe
Sports history right of just like
repeatedly saying the same thing for two
years and still still there’s just been
enough stuff going on that we were like
I mean is he is he that cold blooded I
didn’t think Rah was that cold blooded
and he ended up being that cold blooded
like is Rory and it just turns out like
no he is you know he’s he’s meant what
he said and I don’t know where that came
from I don’t think he hates it being out
there because I do think he wants like
[ __ ] to keep get moving very quickly but
that’s what I was gonna say like I think
there’s I think it puts like it kind of
applies pressure but it would have been
like
skipping you know 20 steps STS of all
right if you’re that unhappy you need to
be more vociferous about Hurley Dunn and
big J and I could see him aligning with
the DP World Tour and
piff you know well before he aligns with
with you know Liv and just goes all the
way there it’s like hey let’s figure out
how to form a a global tour here but
yeah anyway also the financial times is
based in London I would think that’s
probably the most most read you know
London Financial p just going to throw
that out there gosh you think that was
inaccurate news that was being spread on
x.com I I don’t believe it inaccurate
news being spread and rewarded by the
algorithm uh on x.com which that is how
things are going to work now and forever
everyone I need everyone KP Porter was
talking about this week as well we need
some media literacy amongst everyone you
got to understand who your sources of
information are you got to know who
you’re putting your trust in we can’t
just trust just because it gets written
about on Twitter does not mean it’s
going to be accurate including us like
we sometimes we’re not going to get
everything exactly right but the people
that don’t care about we’re we’re going
to at least try to share accurate
information the people that don’t care
about it get promoted the most on
Twitter and that’s gonna happen for from
now until eternity that’s just the
reality shout out
to um any other uh you got some other
live news uh you track down this week TC
or that’s out there yeah I just you know
I was kind of surprised there they’re
they’re hiring some some real human
beings some professionals to to kind of
do real jobs within live they hired
couple people that have been with I
think IMG prior they hired a revenue
person from the
76ers uh who’s very well thought of I
asked around there’s some guys CFO came
from
Equinox uh hotels and soul cycle and all
that he was at Endeavor and u w WME
before UFC so there’s some I don’t know
they’re they’re making some hires I just
wanted to call that out there um I’ll
just like also call out supposedly
everybody’s supposed to be coming
together on this why why are we still
moving in two different directions and
making hires uh don’t know the answer to
that but just that’s that’s the takeaway
I had from this was like okay well
they’re not g to get this figured out
yeah uh other random stuff I had the the
kvv Tweet about Andy
Johnson calling assume assume that
people haven’t read it as always okay uh
kvb tweets quote pull this up I got a
lot of great work produced at the
Masters this year but I want to give a
shout out to Andy TF Andy that’s Andy
Johnson of the fried egg who upon upon
seeing some unnamed media person filling
an entire cooler with free sandwiches at
the end of the day tapped his shoulder
and said have a little
shame which God that’s I mean that that
sounds like something straight out of uh
straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm or
something it’s it’s uh you know just
because like I walked up to those and
I’m like oh like I’m I figure somebody’s
watching me and all that I they had to
know how many Waters I drank last week
like I I I just assumed all of that
right I was I’m like I’m gonna have one
of these peach ice cream sandwiches you
know a p I’m gonna combine a Pomo cheese
and an egg salad sandwich that’s it guys
you can see like I’m not taking anything
else here so yeah um yeah I had that
written down and then I had um just I
just wanted to call out tonight if
you’re looking for something to do prior
to
the uh tus sauce Premiere at 900m on
YouTube You can fire up the pmo the
Western inter Collegiate you can see the
the renovation of the front nine of P
tampo I think they’re going to dive in
on the back nine later this year um but
Stoke to see that it’s pretty good uh I
think Washington’s playing quite well
but Washington Stanford bunch of bunch
of West Coast teams that’s sponsored or
that’s hosted by San Jose State and
always a good watch out
there so
cool you want to take us to the other uh
other men’s event this week yeah I just
wanted to do a quick a quick driveby on
on
pakana uh s we’re gonna play a little
game is this guy in the field at punana
or not okay uh Ricky Barnes yes correct
Bo
velt yes
no uh William mcgurt yes yes Daniel
Burger
yes yes okay he must be the one guy the
one solid guy in the field Rory sabatini
yes no what his first alternate I said
yes to
everybody uh Alex
Fitzpatrick yes sponsors exemption yes
yeah really Wesley
Bryan yes yes okay is da
points yes yes okay he gets in a lot of
these that’s a lot of yeses in a row
Derek Ernst
no no Richard S Johnson yes Tommy no
Tommy
gany yes George
mcneel no yes God that’s all I got for
you okay it’s incredible all right last
last question on the men’s side here uh
from DAV 1918 who’s the second best
player in the world right
now God I wish it was Vic I made a
strong case for Windam a couple weeks
ago uh just putting that to the test but
I think my answer might be different and
I don’t know where I’m going to go but
it’s between two guys for me I’m gonna
make somebody else go first is it
ludvig it might be it might be it’s
still the blow Pig he he had one bad
week I mean probably going get a nasty
gram from Roberto Castro calling it
recency bias and all that but Roberto
I’m just going to tell you man past
results don’t necessarily indicate you
know future returns and uh I think the
Scotty stuff you’ve been tweeting out s
like him over the last two or three
years and data golf stuff and his where
his floor and his ceiling are is pretty
jarring and pretty like like I don’t
really unless he gets hurt here sometime
soon I don’t really see anything
changing right truly what’s changing is
he’s getting ready to become a dad and
so like I I don’t know if he’s going to
be like fresh and ready at the PGA like
that you know that that’s a reasonable
question to have going into the next
major right um that but I I don’t regret
anything we’ve said in reaction to like
I I if anything it was just an emphasis
point of like I know we covered every
week and I know we got to come up with
better ways to talk about how good
Scotty is but I need everyone’s
attention here that this is this is
really special this is like truly truly
special it does not it’s not the most
exciting style of play but like dude it
is
it could get out of hand here and we
again when we say best since tiger that
doesn’t mean tiger just means like dude
if tiger did not exist we might have
like the best player of the last I don’t
know how many years like Phil has a
great case for that as well and has
accomplished a ton I know VJ has a great
case and has accomplished a ton but it’s
in that it’s in that realm it really is
and yeah trying I mean who else would be
a candidate for rah yeah I mean I I it’s
not been a great run a golf for Ron but
he’s still an incredible incredible
golfer like and I I will not fall asleep
on that just because he hasn’t won to
live event and didn’t play great at the
first major like he’s I would guess he
figures that out more than this would
become a trend right I mean we saw
Neeman kind of take a dip when he went
to live and then and bounce all the way
back we’ve seen you know some other guys
kind of do the same I I don’t want to
Discount Rah and I think his his like
he’s not the second hottest player in
the world right now but the question was
who’s the second best and uh again the
data golf models are really interesting
and how they wait recent play long-term
play and things like that and it says
Scotty Xander Rory ludvig Rah Tommy Max
as the top seven players in the world
right now tough to find too much fault
with that yeah big big UPS to Max on
that then it goes Hatton Neeman Mora cow
to round it out so a great spot for
Xander too because I mean second he’s
never going to win anything so kind of
fits perfectly that’s like if kentley
just played a little bit better in the
major you could say can’t like you could
make an argument for Klay yeah he’s 11
11th in their rankings Bryson’s up to
13th in theirs which I mean again for
transparency we’ve we’ve Shad on where
the Liv guys rank in these rankings like
Liv now has four of the top 13 guys
which is about as good as they data golf
loves Hatton they do I mean dat that
when you say that it just means that
hatton’s good at putting the ball in
hole right totally it’s it’s uh that’s
what their models are are judging and it
then the normal way we look at it is a
lot more weight viewers and fans put a
lot more weight in wins and less weight
on consistency you’d rather in pro golf
have a win and a miscut than two seconds
right data golf would say like no you’d
rather have two seconds so shout out to
Tommy baby uh no I think I think the
other thing with Hatton too is it seems
like if you’re good at differentiating
yourself from the field during difficult
conditions that’s probably going to make
your you know like that that counts for
a lot right versus being right in the
mix and I feel like Hatton plays well
difficult conditions and can
differentiate himself when the going
gets tough sometimes I don’t know if
that makes sense I don’t know if it does
either I I hadn’t I just automatically
discount when Majors come around though
pre- as well this is that’s not a change
he just doesn’t uh really tend to do a
whole lot but all right that’s it on the
men’s side why don’t you uh why why
don’t we go flip over to Chevron you
guys have a at a Chevron preview podcast
this is out earlier this week it’s up on
our YouTube our brand new no Lang up
Podcast YouTube channel that you can
check out um what what’s what has
anything changed uh as the week has
evolved here from uh from preview time
Cody I’ll I’ll ask you you’ve been down
on site the last last day or two uh
playing the proam yesterday had a had an
electric pairing yesterday saw some
course changes uh some things about you
know they’re they’re kind of going to
change from year one to year two with
this event take us there man yeah I
think that’s one thing we highlighted in
the preview is Chevron at the end of
last year they first playing there they
talked about all this money that they
were going to put into the course we
scoured the internet and there was no
reportings from the course from
tournament organizers from lpj dcom
nothing about what they actually did and
I showed up there late on Monday evening
and I was like Wow uh these are brand
new greens and all the bunkers have been
completely redone and they’ve added some
new ones in there and there’s a couple
of new T boxes to lengthen the course
out um and I tell
there really hasn’t been any growin so
these things are as hard as I have ever
seen wow they are love my pick then oh
my God I’m so excited hard uh the good
thing is is that most of the time when
they just focus on resurfacing greens
you know the aprons the fringes still
same somewhat soft but they thought
through that too and they actually redid
All the fringes so it’s just rock hard
all the way up to the green you can see
you’ll still see some seam lines and
stuff out there it’s going to take a
couple years for this growing to be done
but uh they expanded some of them
there’s some new pinable locations and
the course looked a heck of a lot
different than uh putting surfaces wise
than it did last year um going into year
two of this event there was obviously
some faults with this event last year A
lot of it was just because it was new it
also was kind of a funky setup but also
they just got a bad draw on weather and
that’s stuff that they can’t really
control they ALS have weather in the
forecast for this week so it it looks
like there’s going to be a little bit of
rain on Friday and maybe that continues
into Saturday so we’ll see but I don’t
know if like they could dump as much
water on the greens that they have right
now it just runs off because it so hard
yeah there’s no root structure so it’s
no real like place for the water to go
besides Cody have have they done
anything about the diesel theft from
last year I I don’t know about that but
I did I don’t know where the actual uh
trucks were set up but I’m sure it’s in
the same production yard but where where
Grant and whoever Grant is going to be
with I don’t know if it’s going to be
Paige or Karen uh where their truck is
at is actually like you know the the
pawn that’s on right of nine left of 18
so that comes back there’s this big like
Dam at the end of it and then there’s
like a slow I don’t know what they’re
called but I guess if it overflows a
little bit it’s a little runoff area
their their Booth is parked right on top
of that so that’s where that trailer is
so if they get too much rain I mean I’m
afraid gr might Flo away on this
thing uh we got a good good broadcast
schedule we got uh you know Golf Channel
I think what 10 to 10 to two and then
again six to eight both uh you know
Thursday and Friday and then Cody we’re
gonna be on ESPN Plus on both Thursday
and Friday with some feature groups we
got some great feature groups for that
when you say we like you and Cody are
calling yes like now we’re going to be
watching on we have a meeting about it
right after this shock shocked us too
we’re calling calling live golf on ESPN
plus yeah and then they got some they
got some what the time windows for that
what are the time windows for that I
think we’re going what 2:30 Eastern uh
yep so we’re GNA be after afternoon on
both days Thursday and Friday uh we know
for a fact tomorrow is going to we’re
going to start at 2:30 Eastern we’re
going to have a little feature group
coverage uh the first group feature
group that we’re going to be covering of
course uh rosang I don’t know if
anybody’s heard of her Hoy jooy Kim su’s
favorite and NASA Hoka second group is
shout out to the Houston Space Center
exactly uh and the second group will be
somebody that uh like there’s really
this person and then the rest of the
field this week and that’s Nelly Corda
playing with M and defending Champion
Lily
Vu I love it how are how are we guys I
got full transparency here it’s been a
big catchup week I’ve not caught the
preview pod so apologies in advance for
for if we rehash anything how we feeling
going into year two in terms I I I was
very vocal at the end of last year of
like yo that didn’t feel like a major
like I don’t want to put all the blame
on the tournament a lot of that was
towards coverage of like that was it
felt like a maybe a signature event on
the lpj tour if there was one right do
you get the sense being there Cody and
and with understanding the plans adding
the feature groups adding some better
coverage around this window is this
going to feel like a major to viewers
and I I’m again of The Stance of like it
takes time for tournaments to feel like
major and you can’t just call him one
and earn that title off the bat and
moving this from a location that’s been
in for many many years and people have
known it as a major to a new one is a
refresh that it’s just G to take some
time I think but I’m I’m hoping for some
progress from year one to year two how
are you guys feeling about that right
now yeah I feel I feel that way I think
that there’s a bigger buildout this year
there’s a brand new tournament director
there’s uh well yeah I get it but
Hospital Hospitality on site I mean
everybody remembers last year 18 was
like you could just the biggest like
backboard in the world you could just
fire it into that thing and then get a
free drop that’s still you know they
still have grand stands around it that
they’ve repositioned it and created more
space so where they’re going to be
dropping is uh kind of behind that that
back right bunker um there but you’ll
still see probably people firing it back
in there um TV I I can’t and we we’re
getting more hours uh for NBC’s portion
of it and the ESPN plus thing is amazing
and that’s something in initiative that
Molly the commissioner of the lpj tour
talked about us over a year ago and said
hey I’m really trying to figure out
streaming options I know people want to
see more golf uh I think we got a thing
going with ESPN plus we just got to put
everything together and now we’re
finally seeing it and they started it
last year they had it for CME TOUR
Championship they’re going to have four
events on it this year we of course are
on board with it so um you know all
people want to see is more golf
and I think trying to compare it to you
know right now you’re never going to be
able to compare anything to a men’s
major no and a lot of that is just
history and tradition that goes with it
but the lpj doer and the leadership
there is doing everything possible to to
take the right steps forward that they
absolutely like legally can right now
and it’s really cool to see on top of
that a year two of Chevron signing like
a big year deal to take this away from
its longtime home and to move it to
Texas so it’ be closer to their
headquarters and we already see a purse
increase which I think is awesome and
continu as to show yep extra like $2.5
million in there shows more companies
continuing to invest in the LPGA Tour
seeing what the potential of the LPGA
Tour is and you know trying to get the
most out of every single one of these
events Tom denway has a a comment here
as well like would be nice if the PGA
Tour you know didn’t schedule a sign
signature event opposite which if I took
from Mike Juan’s comments about like how
they help Drive ratings I might actually
disagree with that in terms of the LPGA
gets more ratings better viewers more
interest on this on the when people are
flipping between two channels when it
feels like a golf week
versus granted like some of the W stuff
he had to take with a great of salt with
the LPG tour because I do think he got
him into a poor spot with the TV
contract and with letting the PGA Tour
run their TV contract and negotiate it
but um you know I think on the flip side
like the TV product stuff isn’t just a
Chevron thing right it’s you know it Bal
us raw the KPMG women’s PGA didn’t feel
like a major the way that they covered
it there either you know and so totally
um but yeah I think the other thing too
is part of the reason they moved to this
week is to get away from the Augusta
National Women’s am yes and know
Heritage has this week so there’s
there’s all sorts of cooks in the
kitchen on the scheduling front there’s
no there’s not going to be any perfect
week I guess you know critics would say
put it up against Zurich or whatever but
like you know I’m with you guys I think
that all boats rise when there’s more
good golf tournaments going on as long
as you can find a home for them as far
you know on like this is on NBC from 3:
to 6 Eastern on Saturday and Sunday
while the PGA Tour is on you know CBS so
there is a home for it this week you
know and and and you’re not getting
preempted by [ __ ] Champions Tour
coverage basically right now what I
would say is still very very
disappointing and I know that this is an
additional cost that comes from either
the tour or the sponsor is getting like
the bumper coverage live from um and I I
think that if I was the lpj tour I was I
would encourage them with not only the
advances in in technology
and everything else like that make your
own show like if you if you’re if NBC is
saying in order to get live live from
whatever it’s going to cost a million
two million three million bucks or
whatever like that and they can’t move
that whole thing down there say okay
well we’ll figure we’ll figure something
out to try to make make these events
trying to make them feel elevated
because when I think of of major
championships I think of Wal to Walt
live from coverage that that’s on night
that leads in in the morning you got
Central cutting in and everything else
like that I think there’s a a really you
could it’s creative and I think that
there’s a lot of people who are are
interested in investing in women’s
Athletics overall that would say yeah
100% we’ll we’ll come in it’ll be a low
bit in the beginning but sure we we will
invest in you and we’ll see what we can
grow this thing into I also think they
need to rip away the major status from
the Evon say hey we have here’s what a
women’s major means we have four of them
these what they are and go from there as
I’m sitting here now it feels like
there’s three very clear ones and
there’s two like secondary ones right
and like the more I totally agree with
that if you take Evan away then becomes
and it just comes building some New
Traditions around it and it yeah the the
shoulder programming thing is something
we’ve talked a lot about but it’s like
again look at what happened with women’s
basketball this past year like that is
owed a ton to it being on shoulder
programming on Sports Center and people
talking about it it’s it’s it’s not like
there’s the word of mouth factor is
enormous with all this well ESPN I’ll
give all credit there to ESPN believing
in the product and being like wow if we
invest in this totally our returns will
come yeah the first step’s like making
it available like nobody can be a fan if
it’s not if it’s not available if you
can’t watch it you know golf channel is
not sending live from to to Signature
Events like the the you know on the on
the men they did
Pebble was it live from they didn’t have
live from there they had uh they had
live golf Central there you’re right
you’re right but but same thing I mean
Pebble paid for that I’m pretty sure I
don’t think 100% meaning AT&T paid for
it and that’s where I’m saying here is
and and I know that puts that puts uh
you know tour leadership in a very tough
position I mean they very well could
have done that this this year and said
yep we’re going to take this $2.5
million that Chevron has agreed to pay
and we’re going to build additional
things out around coverage or we’re
going to take that money and put it in
the purse and I would say like 10 10 out
of 10 put it in the purse yeah you know
I I think there’s again there’s creative
things around this and Su the only thing
that I’ll disagree on you with the the
elevated verse actual major things and I
could actually say this back to like
what you guys were just discussing about
RBC like uh that’s cool that RBC it’s a
great event it’s a signature event with
there’s no cut now and there’s a ton of
money that’s pushed into to it and it’s
immediately behind and the reason why
all these players are there even though
they’re all hund do is because there’s a
ton of money there’s no cuts and it’s a
signature event and they know they need
to be there all right to the LPGA
players and the LPGA ecosystem this is a
major and it’s worth major points and
it’s worth major money and it goes it it
it it this they’re fired up about this
and they love the fact that it’s in
Texas and Cody I love that I know that
and I’ve been to majors and I’ve I feel
that when you’re on the ground I want
the fans at home to feel that that’s the
key right like that’s where that’s where
things are going to if this leap is
going to ever happen it it has to feel
like that at home or else it all that
goes to so much of that goes to waste I
feel like you know I’ve covered a lot of
kpmg’s in person and I’m like [ __ ] this
is awesome like it really is awesome
being there and you know you go and like
look at Social chatter on it and it’s
just not there like the buzz is just not
there and that’s something get lost gets
lost in that Medium between you know
taking what’s happening on the course
and relaying it to the public and it I
it’s it’s kind of wild that Cody played
in a proom before a major right yeah but
that’s kind of one of those things that
like they’re spending money on it like
yeah oh well this is the want effect too
is that uh and I think it you’ll
probably see a little bit over time
there’s there’s a lot of incredible
things that he did when he was
commissioner but I think that the tour
is gradually starting to pull themselves
away from that at at certain events
because you can’t really do that you’re
asking an awful lot and I know that last
week was a week off for them but you’re
asking an awful lot so usually they run
Tuesday and Wednesday prams this week
because of it’s a major it’s only
Tuesday but you know big and I played in
the AIG Women’s Open last year pram and
we’re like what the heck like why why
are we doing this here who did you play
with this year I played with Aron Foster
which is which was wild uh haven’t seen
much from him since he was talking about
fighting wolves on Twitter and I think
he was on Rogan uh and I played uh with
a member uh I can’t CMO I think at the
lpj tour my two Pros were SE young Kim
and Andrea Lee both delightful people SE
young is is an absolute flusher of the
golf ball I’m like how do you like I
know you’re already a major champion and
like tons of wins and everything but
like why don’t you win like every event
and then you go up and like watch Nelly
on the Range and you’re like oh like
that’s why she’s in complete control of
her game I want to shout out and be on
the lookout for kbv is writing an
awesome uh you know little gamer right
now on Nelly and kind of where she’s at
not only within the season but herself
and the game and everything else uh and
I’m very very excited to read it and
then you know probably pull him on we’re
gonna have live shows again at the after
the 36 whole Mark right here on Friday
evening so probably pull kvb in and see
what he was in able to get into love
that is uh why don’t we well let’s do
this next we have our our FanDuel play
of the week um I know I went LPGA route
I figure with this will kind of weave
into there I assume you guys went LPGA
as well but uh did uh you want to go
first then I I’ll go first I as soon as
you started describing the golf course
Cody I felt even better about this play
uh I I wish I got I I may go even harder
I may double up but I you know this is a
one pick thing I don’t want to say a bad
precedent here at TC you get one pick uh
ucas Sasso is going to have a great week
I think she’s you played some solid Golf
five starts so far this year top you
know been her worst finish is t27 so far
she hits it different than a lot of
people out there she hits it high she’s
a flusher uh she hits it far there were
the guy the ladies that hit it far last
year Lil Vu Angel Yin they were in
you’re telling me about new tees that
are put in now here Cody this golf
course rewarded length last year she
hits it far she hits it high she’s a
big- time player in major championships
she’s one of us women’s open she was
runner up last year KPMG yucas Sasso to
top 10 also my pick to win but I’m I
love the plus 280 to top 10 I think
she’s going to do
that tasty what do you got I got uh it’s
the same as my winter play uh that I
talked about on on the preview I thought
about going Billy horel top 10 at
Heritage but then I realized Billy horel
isn’t playing in the Heritage he’s in
the Dominican Republic that’s always my
I I think I think one of these years
Billy’s going to win uh there at harbort
toown but uh I’m going with Gabby
Ruffles to win I think Gabby Ruffles is
a is a big time player I think she’s
she’s only going to get better with more
experience I’m buying buying buying all
the stock I can get on her plus 11,000
for those listenting that’s a that’s a
fabulous play TC that I’m envious yeah
and it’s one of those things I think you
know I think things are in a big spot
right now with the LPGA as far as
Olympics qualification and as far as
solheim cup qualification obviously
Gabby’s Not In solheim Contention but I
just think there’s all like that’s
that’s a really interesting theme to
kind of keep track of of like you know G
was it Gabby Lydia Co Grace Kim like you
know
uh sorry Australia versus New Zealand
here I was gonna say I’m like where are
you going with this one um but no just
like thinking about kind of her
representing if that’s you know Hannah
green or Mii or who’s going to represent
Australia in the Olympics too I think
that’s a big thing gab’s got a long way
to go to get on that list cuz how did
you get to name this many for a play of
the week how did you get to name that
many players this is incredible I’m
still talking about the same same play
here you gotta cut him off Cody what’s
your uh do you have a do you have a play
of the week I do uh so like I said I was
very fortunate enough to play with uh
Sean Kim and talk through everything uh
with her kind of her life her upbringing
where she’s at you know she’s she’s
joking to me because all these majority
of these ladies specifically the Koreans
live up here in Dallas they just the
kenas area lost kenas are just always
around there and I’m always I asked her
a lot of questions like what what do you
guys got going on there be hit the ball
on an absolute rope and I know this is
very very recency biased but I went back
and looked at her results so she ended
up she got beat out in uh semi-final
match to get into match play finals all
right Ford Championship t-13 Blue Bay
LPGA T15 Honda LPGA land tied for third
she has made every single cut this year
her highest finish was at uh let’s see
the highest finish yeah t17 at the HSBC
Women’s World Championship her caddy
says she’s Prime I’m not going to the
win I’m going to a top five SE young Kim
and I’m GNA take that at plus 550 I was
so impressed and I know it’s very very
easy once you get up close and watch
these uh women hit the ball but it was
like it was unbelievable and she just
made everything she for our scramble
group we played her ball the vast
majority of the time Aran and I were
just sitting there like jaw-dropped what
what is
happening who won’t win
TC uh it’s got this game we play it on
the M side it’s got to be a favorite of
some kind yeah it won’t
win Lil Vu is not going to win defending
Champion battling injuries had a really
tough start to the year she’s obviously
it’s there’s something going on she
needs to take another chunk of time to
actually put all this stuff together uh
she definitely will not win I don’t
think mji is gonna win she doesn’t seem
to be playing Great Golf right now I’m
gonna take Lydia the you know the second
favorite on the board at plus 2500 along
with a titun and and jiny young Co it’s
the odds are wild guys it’s Nelly at
plus 500 and the second best odds is
plus 2500 like a lot she deserves those
I know it’s does it feel like it’s GNA
happen like does
it I want to say yes because what we
just witnessed on the men’s side like
the parallels are ridiculous and that’s
the wrong logic I think in terms of yeah
just because Scotty just did it that
means uh Nelly’s going to but man this
is a big spot and I hate to say this I’m
rooting for it I’m a nelly fan but like
when it when the spot has gotten really
big in a lot of these uh major
championships for Nelly it has not gone
great when the spotlight has been Shin
really bright yeah in in the regular
events like it it’s just B it’s
different right she’s or does I’ll say
this we we we were very very lucky we
have Justin Ray on to to run us through
some awesome stats in the preview
podcast all right her putting numbers
are actually almost the same very slight
Improvement where her Improvement
actually is is everybody just from
looking at her her golf swing thinks
that she’s like just the ball Striker’s
ball Striker it’s actually her proximity
to the whole last year I think she
averaged like 27 point something feet
this year it’s like 16 right when you’re
hitting it when you’re hitting it that
close to the hole you know those those
putt putting stats don’t matter as much
exactly I feel like there there seems to
be more confidence with the putter as
well though maybe that’s a factor of you
know a few different things or maybe
that’s Placebo or whatever I also don’t
I don’t want to front run kbb’s piece
too much here but she also has like for
the first time in a long time she has
ownership of of her of her life you know
and I think the biggest thing and if you
look at it she never went to college she
went to a very prestigious Academy um
and then when she she started traveling
around her sister has always been with
her and the fact that Jess has been out
with a new baby and everything that goes
around that Nelly has had the
opportunity and intentionally decided
that she was going to go play this the
LA to Phoenix to Vegas completely by
herself and she just had her caddy there
with her she rented a car and and made
road trips instead of driving all over
the place because she never had that
opportunity before to just go explore
and and do it and I think that you’re
you’re seeing Nelly being like this
adult Nelly and finally you know being
out on her own and like I said having
extreme ownership of her successes and I
think you see that in her golf game
coming
through uh one other thing to call out
ataya titum this is her season debut it
is
a lot of players light light on starts
to start I was just looking at a lot of
that uh you know some of the some of the
players I was I was excited about but
talked abouta she she’s been injured
since the LA the end of last year um
didn’t didn’t try to didn’t play at all
in Asia she’s just kind of been down um
Patty T if you’re G to ask me who
outside of of Nelly uh who is it going
to be it’s Patty I mean she she’s in the
ball so good right now she’s playing
uh she’s scoring already got a win
earlier this
year I’m excited you guys got me stoked
