Rory McIlroy’s eventful week + Bob May on the 2000 PGA Championship

After Rory McIlroy’s second win in three weeks at the Wells Fargo Championship, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss the showdown setting up between Rory and Scottie Scheffler at Valhalla – the site of Rory’s last major win. Smylie and Charlie also have a “clutch gene” discussion as it relates to Xander Schauffele after another near miss at a marquee event while playing in the final group. Smylie is then joined by Bob May, runner-up to Tiger Woods in the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, to relive that thrilling playoff finish (and Tiger’s iconic walk-in putt). Finally, SK and CH discuss where Rory’s week began – with the news that he would not be rejoining the policy board as reported, but instead would be assuming a role on the transaction subcommittee.

[Music] H Smiley caufman for 61 wow I’m Smiley caufman and this is the Smiley Show welcome back to another episode of the Smiley Show and an eventful one because lordy Smiley we have we have a lot of things to recap we have to start first and foremost with a very very happy Mother’s Day to your wife Francy to my wife Amanda to all the amazing mothers out there who allow us go play golf for multiple hours and hang with the boys while uh while they watch the kids and do it with a smile on their face and also sometimes uh watch uh Rory mroy absolutely lapping the field uh Quail Hollow on on a Mother’s Day uh so we’re very appreciative to them uh but with that said we have to just hit the air horns sound the alarms because the one and done here that was on life support has taken a big shot in the the arm courtesy of your pick Rory mroy six of our last 12 for the show Smiley your comments I just finally am happy that I saw the light again you know I think it’s there was a voice talking to me a couple weeks ago and I think it started when we saw Rory win and Zurich and I was like you know what the smile on his face and now happy was the karaoke after you know bounce bounce of the step you know yeah the bounce is kind of the bounce is never really left but the bounce is back but I think just he’s confident in his mechanics first off I think that’s one thing to talk about is how good he drove it how good he looked over the ball the swing looked amazing but I’m just I think it has a you gotta look at that Shane Lowry and the team’s uh win that they had in New Orleans and I just think he’s playing the game right now uh just with looks it just looks like he’s having fun with it you know I think even when he got to the tea boxes on Saturday and Sunday and greeted Xander Xander was just like like ready for batt on Roy’s like what’s up man like looking like he was you know like good to see you it just seemed like he was enjoying himself and I think he played that way he played free and my goodness I did not expect uh to see what we saw Sunday which was a a runaway Victory by roarers on the one andone aspect uh some updates there uh as we’ve been tracking in the 12 weeks since we started this pool if you and I were were players if our picks were FedEx Cup players the current FedEx Cup standings there big big alarms here there’s been a a big move in the standings because Scotty sheer is still first that’s that hasn’t changed and probably will not change you are now in second place in the FedEx Cup you’ve surpassed me you’ve got a lead of a couple hundred points I am now in third place so we’re still there in the top three but uh but man uh the one ofone run we’re back we’re looking forward to some PJ Championship picks this week maybe maybe we could we could pull ahead of Scotty it would be nice to see that but uh in in the rest of this episode because we have a packed episode for you we’re going to talk a little bit about this Wells Fargo uh result and Rory and the implications for the second major of the year uh but after that you had an awesome conversation with Bob May runner up to Tiger Woods at the 2000 PGA Championship in balla so that’s GNA you know be the maybe this the middle piece of this sandwich of an episode and then the the latter piece of bread we should call it will be us rounding up on uh for me the pep the Pepe Sylvio web of what’s happening with the PGA Tour policy board transaction subcommittee the whole uh prequel to the week of Rory because it’s all somehow comes back to Rory this week uh so that that’s the kind of layout of the episode for you uh but let’s get back to Rory’s win and for me I just it could not have come at a better time to have a win like this because it injects some back into a championship where all of us were kind of thinking is Scot like Scotty’s going to win the Grand Slam isn’t he uh we we have some reports on Bob herry you know kind of soft reporting that baby watch for baby sheffler might be over the baby you know may or may not have arrived it’s not his news to share he says but we think the baby’s arrived and the Scotty should be in Louisville playing in the second major of the year so we have that piece but this toy Smiley kind of reminded me not exactly but in a in a small way of where we were last year where John ROM just was a bulldozzer the first you know quarter or third of the year and we were just wondering how many majors he was going to win and then Scotty wins the players and some other players start playing well Windham Clark uh you know wins the Wells Fargo last year and some guys are in the mix and it feels like Rory’s win this week is a little bit of okay game on this isn’t just going to be a Scotty walkover every single week do you agree with that well I think as we head to Valhalla place in which he’s won the last PJ Championship I think yeah dude all systems go for RoR balla look at the weather next week it started off last week when I checked the uh 7-day forecast didn’t look great a lot of rain it’s gotten a little bit better but still just when you think wet golf courses you think Rory mroy I mean look how high and long he was hitting his drives this week at Quail Hollow and what an advantage that would be if he’s got the long and straight ball with the driver but I I think we can’t dismiss uh plenty of the live golfers that are going to have an opportunity to win this uh but who knows what what type of form Scotty’s going to show up in as far as just his mental aspect of the game which I think has been a reason why he’s been on such an incredible run is that his processes and how he’s been able to hit golf shots over and over consistent consistently and be able to make the putts he needed to I personally don’t see a Scotty win at the PGA Championship I I really do think it’s going to come from somebody other than Scotty um I have a b a pretty big group of guys right now but I tell you what at the top of that list right now it’s hard not to see one of either Rory John ROM or um Brooks kka being being one of those three guys I loved ludig oberg as we discussed after the Masters but I’m second guessing that a little bit after the the WD this week with the knee injury not sure what the severity of that was if it was just sort of a precautionary thing so he could feel like he was at 100% uh this next week in Valhalla or if there’s something more serious going on there um as you mentioned Scotty’s at the top of that odds board he is you know currently four to one I’m sure we’ll have an odds update tomorrow Rory is is plus 7507 and a half to one then you got Brooks kepa at 14 to1 fourth on that odds list as of now is Xander chafl at 16 to1 and Xander on the one hand I I want here’s what I want to do here is I want to go full Prime first take era skip Bess versus Stephen A Smith I want to know if your opinion on whether or not Xander Schley has the clutch Gene because here’s my here’s my thing with Xander is like if this was a member guest tournament like I and I could pick any PGA Tour player it might be this guy he hasn’t missed a cut in two years he is so steady like he’s just is he’s like a machine but time and time again it feels like he’s in a position to win a a marquee tournament and I get that Rory just ran away with it today and and Rory played phenomenal no one was gonna beat Rory mroy today but I just I wonder what opinions you have on whether or not Xander shafley can get it done in a marquee event or or a major going forward oh he 100% can uh there’s no doubt about that but I mean just his year I didn’t realize how well he has played really really good he’s had seven top 10 in 11 starts and he’s had 10 top 25s and 11 starts so the consistency is 100% there and I I really do think that is so important for for any player just feeling like every time you Tee It Up that you’re going to give yourself an opportunity for Xander I really do think um we we need to I need to go on a little deeper dive I think Trevor said on Theo podcast today that he’s had two EXC excuse me 754 whole Leeds and he’s converted two of them now that’s two for eight so it’d be fun to go back and look and see how many what he what the scoring average was for him on those days and and was it a situation like today where he just has had some terrible luck with players like Rory just you know whapping the field so how many times did that happen I’ll have to go back and and do a bit of a dive there but I think I’ve mentioned this couple times about Xander uh making the switch uh to Chris KO and and trying to get a little bit more speed you could see it I mean I know Rory was hitting it past him but he was up there with him uh within 15 or 10 to 15 yards which is really long and his iron game is I mean I I think he’s probably the same irons length as as Rory so he’s got that aspect of his game I know his putter didn’t show up today but I’m telling you that guy is gonna win a major championship because he’s got he’s got the consistency he’s got a a very nice golf swing that’s holding up under pressure and in major championships and I I personally think he’s a top five putter in the world the stats bear that out I wouldn’t I wouldn’t have him outside the top five in with the putter I I just think his his mechanics are so good and nobody puts a a better role on the golf ball than he does and it just looks the same over and over again but you to your to your point does he have the clutch genan are they playing aggressive enough I don’t know right now because it’s hard you know I think it’s I need to do a little bit of research on those the 54 hole leads on the clutch Gene Strokes G clutch see see that bears out because you know what he’s really clutch at is finding a way to top 10 if he’s if he’s 26 heading into Sunday he’ll finish six it’s he is the goat at finishing top 10 but finishing first not quite the goat it it’s such an interesting thing because I think it it is you know it’s like he’s the the the perfect uh argument centerpiece for you know stats versus like feel or gut you know where he’s caught in this like Middle Ground where you look at all the stats and you’re like this guy is a machine you know he’s right up there are you grouping him in with Klay is this is are you trying to do this right now well I I mean I I would like to me like I I would take him over and a pick him over Klay okay got every single tournament like I mean and including the majors I mean and that’s not even like I don’t think you can really make an argument you know given his recent form you know K Klay is is of course is a top whatever 20 player in the world but I I don’t think there’s any question you take Xander over him um right now you know for for this major and just you know for the rest of the season until there’s some massive change in form but um but it’s just so interesting it’s like for a guy that to your point you look at all the stats and even the eye test too on the putting where it’s like he just puts a good rle on it every time there was just some weird stuff down the stretch and and and you know and we saw it with the the the the short uh birdie putt he missed at the Players where he really could have had a chance um on 17 you know stuff like that where it’s like it was just uncharacteristic to see him um make mistakes like that until it is characteristic and it’s just the his story is the guy that that’s just the best player that just can’t get it done you know when when he’s under the gun and and I I don’t I’m not trying to be unfair to Xander here because you know again I think he’s a phenomenal player and I I think he’s you know but it’s gonna take winning one and I wonder if he’s gonna have to because he’s he’s won he’s won on the PGA tour it’s not like it’s like that that’s the obstacle it’s like what does he need to win before he wins a major you know and does he need to does he need to win something in short like it would have been so perfect for him this week to win this event and then say boom I got all the confidence in the world going into the PGA Championship or even like you know the the uh the the US open at Pinehurst I mean that’s I just feel like that’s the one that he that he has to win is just a a tight you know exacting test a US Open type setup and and the PGA Championship is more and more has become that in the last few years so it would have been so perfect for for this to be the sort of back-to-back buildup for him to win his first major but here we are again you know kind of asking what and maybe couldn’t have done anything different today because Rory played that good but it’s just I think you have to ask the question with Xander oh you definitely do you definitely do and uh but you can’t knock this this guy as far as his how good he is at the game of golf I mean I think every single PGA Tour player would take what he’s done since he’s turned Pro this guy 100% is he has made 150 cuts and he’s had 173 starts it is an 86% clip as far as every time you teed up you’re playing the weekend I know he play has played in no cut events but still that to me is is Just Eye openening of how consistent he is but we gotta continue to see what Xander can do in these Majors uh but I like that he just keeps putting himself in position one of these days it’s going to fall the right way I love Austin Kaiser I love his game so um it could be as soon as next week the PJ Championship I mean I I wouldn’t put him put it past him to win on that golf course and and I I really think uh the the US Open will be a really good course for him too I think Pinehurst is an awesome track uh for him to potentially get a first major on just getting back to Rory quickly before we kind of wrap and toss to this Bob May interview I mean if this I know this is just it is just one week in in one sense but to your point some good vibes coming off of the zert classic you know he’s starting to play better you know he’s trending the last few weeks he’s exactly where he’d want to be going into a major championship where he’s won before I mean I I just I wonder if there’s anything about his game like what what are the key indicators for you that tells you hey like this this guy is he’s rounding in a form and you know what do you think the rest of the year looks like in terms of him against Scotty because I I I think to kind of take it back to where we started a lot of people had just said this year’s a wash Scotty’s going to win whatever he wants to Tee It Up and I wonder if you feel like the rest of the year espe especially in the majors looks a little differently now that we’re seeing some format a Rory and and does all that hinge on how he plays this week at Valla well I think last year it was all the putter you know how many times did he hit such good shots on Sundays or Saturdays in major championships and and just not be able to grab the tournament and and be able to run away with with tournaments when it seemed like he was hitting the shots to be able to do so this year the conversation hasn’t been as much about the putter he’s had plenty of really solid weeks with the putter but you you saw him mention earlier in the year how much he struggled with his iron game go sees Butch Harmon has some new feels that I think have finally shown up and you could see it at setup he just looks so comfortable um and I think there was a lot of left misses so he’s he’s kind of found a way to get that out uh I think uh the the three he he didn’t really feel great about taking spin-off golf shots as well which is always alarming for a pro especially playing in the springtime I imagine this is when all the the the issues were happening early spring when he was really struggling to hit his numbers and when you’re playing heavy wins and all you can really do is hit the club that is less that hits it higher up in the air gets affected more by the wind hard to hit it pin high and he was having a lot of left misses so I think it’s maybe because we’re playing at the type of the year now where you can hit those full iron shots doesn’t have to to hit as many three quarter shots or at least the ones in which you got 170 yards and you have five iron in your hand so I think that caters to worry as well of the warmer weather the less winds so it’s the time of the year in which we’ve seen Rory mroy you know start tuning up uh plenty of the other years as well and I mean shoot it’s just it’s just wild how many times he’s won too when when yeah we just I mean we’re in a pretty incredible period of golf right now with Rory and U Scotty and the tiger still playing it’s just it’s it’s a lot of fun for a golf fan if we can figure out how to mesy suit tours at some point it it is and and we will discuss a version of that uh on the back end of this upcoming uh Bob interview that we’re about to tee up here and and also you know we’re going to kind of further unpack this PGA Championship at another live show of sorts I guess sort of a taped as live show but it is similar to the show that you saw us do in Augusta at T-Bone steakhous uh we have a thing for steakouse I guess because we’re going to Malone’s Louisville uh super pumped about that they they’ve been really gracious to host us in their uh what is it their Churchill Downs room it’s like a themed room overlooking a bar think it’s going to be a super cool backdrop we have a special guest which I don’t know do we want to tease that guest or do you want to wait until we confirm it and and if if he uh if he has to back out he said to do it another time but he’s uh let’s let’s put him in a 99% end so might as well just tease it so fat re will be joining us at Malone’s uh in Louisville very excited about that we’re going to we’re going to do our usual we’re we’re going to preview the PJ Championship we’re going to make our one ofone picks which I know you know now that we’re back on fire we’re excited about those back on fire we’re back we’re back we’re all the way back uh we’re gonna maybe put together a little DFS lineup um and and kind of dig into some other things I I know you like to wind them early on wind them kind of having a tough week so we we’ll run through the full leaderboard there where we’re going to go to next is interview we’ve already recorded that we’re super pumped about Bob May uh the the took Tiger Woods to a playoff in 2000 of aalla the peak of his power so you and Bob went back and forth reliving those moments talking about some of the crazy bounces crazy shots that were hit as part of that playoff and then you know he he tells you a little bit about the course and things to look out for and just a general preview of what you all can expect uh this next week of the second major of the year so let’s kick it over right now to your conversation with Bob May and on the back end we’ll back to discuss the uh the the latest secret subcommittee that’s gone around the PGA Tour all right guys welcome back we have uh Bob May Legend from the 2000 PGA Championship this is uh I’m really excited about this conversation Bob and first off thank you for taking the time and I just kind of want you to just set the scene for us a little bit taking us all the way back to 2000 what was the state of your game heading into the week did you see a week like that coming well you know I’ve been I’ve been playing well the you know all all year kind of been playing pretty well I just flew back from uh trying to uh uh defend I won the British Masters in Europe in 99 so I went back to defend I think I finished maybe 11th or 12th or something over there and I flew straight from there into Valhalla so um I’ve been playing well I I had a couple good tournaments that year you know I played well at the the British Open I think I finished 11th um I played well at Pebble at the US Open and then uh finished second at uh Memphis so I I I had some good play going and uh you know I did I know that was going to happen that week no I I wish I did but I I didn’t and you know first round was uh was just a a round a 72 and then uh you know and then the next 3 days obviously uh 3 66s in a row you just put putts started falling and uh you know before you know it you end up there so Bob what was your first impressions of aalla golf club when you got on the property you know a lot of times as a pro golfer you you kind of mentioned that you had been playing well but a lot of times you just get those Good Vibes when you’re at a place that you just feel like it fits your eye and that it just maybe just it just Good Vibes are just present did you kind of feel that way about vajala you know I I I like the the greens because they had a lot of like sections you had to hit the ball to this part of the green or that part of the green and I always felt that I was a very good uh iron player so um I I I kind of liked it because you had to be in the right part of the green to give yourself a good chance man I love that and I I you know everybody talks about the 2000 PGA Championship uh mainly because Tiger Woods was that’s kind of when he was at the beginning of the height of his power going for his third major championship that year nobody had done that since Ben Hogan talk to us just about how nuts it was at that time playing in an era in which Tiger Woods was at his Peak I mean playing playing in that era you know with tiger and his Peak uh you see how long long these kids hit it now and tiger was basically that long back then and there really wasn’t but maybe two or three other players that could really hit it out there with them Not only was he long but he was extremely straight okay so now you got long and straight and then Not only was he long and straight he also had great irons play he also had a great short game and great putting so I mean there wasn’t a weak part of his game you know usually you could find something but his game was so rounded and you know I always I always I don’t mean to be Brash or anything but I always like I said I thought I was a very good ball Striker and um I could still remember a couple shots that he hit that just stick in my mind and that were very impressive I mean I can remember the two iron he hit on number 10 it was like 260 some yards and he hit a two iron higher than I’ve ever seen anybody hit a two iron and it never left the pin now it landed about a foot short and rolled back in the bunker but still it was just it was just a phenomenal two iron I mean it was it was unbelievable man and going into that that final round Bob you know I imagine that it’s easy to start to question yourself and thinking okay how am I going to beat this guy was it difficult for you to going into that round to sticking to your game plan and I imagine the distractions that day just had to be insane too with the amount of people that were cheering for Tiger well you know going into the round that day I basically told myself we’re g to play a different golf course and what I meant by that is he’s going to hit it so much longer than me that we’re not even basically playing the same golf course and I told myself you know you’re were good enough to shoot 66 the last two rounds just play your own game and see what happens don’t get involved in his game one you can’t you can’t hit it near as far as he can not even close with the driver you know from a six iron or may maybe a seven iron down I had a pretty strong angle of attack so I deloft it I I could you know hit it pretty long with those irons but everything else he was going to be so much longer than me so I just told myself you know play your own game don’t worry about what’s going on just you know play the golf course the way you want to play it he’s going to play it a different way and you know see what happens at the end of the day and that night when I went to sleep I was basically just telling myself you know he puts his pants on the same way you do one leg at a time so you know just just go out there you’ve worked all this time to have an opportunity like this and I was always taught by Eddie Marin and Tom Sergeant to uh you know play one shot at a time one hole at a time and and uh your my competition was the golf course and see how bad you could beat the golf course if you could beat the golf course uh you know better than anyone else then you’ll win but I couldn’t I can’t control what tiger was doing he can’t control what I was doing so basically the only thing I could control is my game and in in this era now I think one comparable maybe figure would be Brooks kapin major championships and just his Competitive Edge and how tough he is and that he doesn’t really make mental mistakes and honestly what he kind of has a little bit is that intimidation factor that Tiger Woods has and did you feel any of that from tiger in which like did he talk to you much at all that day you know what we talked basically the the whole front nine oh really the back the back nine we both bird 10 and we kind of just like separated like okay it’s getting serious now but you got to understand tiger and I both grew up in Southern California and tiger was seven years younger than me so I was very familiar with tiger and um you know I I respect his game and and all that but I wasn’t uh afraid of his game was I in awe of the shots he could hit absolutely I was in awe but um like I said I I had more respect for the game but I wasn’t afraid of his game yeah that’s a that’s a great point and and just to kind of uh just talk a little bit about that just mental Edge and I was watching a clip here uh earlier today and Tiger Woods referenced that both of you didn’t make a mental mistake the entire day on Sunday and I think a lot of times guys that went up against tiger that was one of the things that they would do was just the mental side of the game they would falter but he credited you and how tough you were not only from the physical side but the mental side a lot of the guys might have looked like they kind of failed mentally I think the mental part that they did fail in is that they got in a slug fest with tiger you know some of these other guys were were bigger guys longer hitters and I think sometimes they got into more of a a slugfest with them instead of just playing their game and at at that time like I I said earlier he hit it so long but he hit it so straight and so you try to play up with him and you know when you start swinging too hard at it they start going a little sideways it didn’t matter he he he could swing as hard as he wanted and it was still going straight and y’all both made those big pots on 18 for birdie uh to end up going in a playoff when you finished and went to the scoring tent did you know that it was a three-hole playoff I imagine like you’re so in the zone that yeah that that’s what I was curious about well no we did I I don’t think tiger did either I think we thought we were going back to 18 which I was fine with because I was kind of like okay all the pressure is going to be on him he should be able to reach and two you know and I’ll be the underdog like I have been all day and all the pressure is on him you know on it and when they we side the scorecards they said okay we’re going back to 16 it’s a three-hole playoff this year and I was like oh my gosh I already set my mind I got ahead of myself and already set my mind that we’re going back to 18 and uh unfortunately that that you know we didn’t go back to 18 but uh you know we went back to 16 and uh it was a long day we were out there for five five plus hours and you know it’s a little humid back there and warm but uh you know I think we were both surprised and then you know of course I didn’t hit a good t- ball and then he made that putt that every proam partner I play in pretty much runs and starts pointing at it and then they do that and I said you guys really don’t realize that’s where all started was at that tournament and they’re like oh I just thought that was a tiger thing I said no it all started at that tournament on that holead on that hole too wow that uh I can’t imagine being there in that moment when he was running and pointing towards the hole had you ever seen anything like that in playing golf over how many years it’s been you know what I hadn’t seen anything like that being that the ball hadn’t been in the hole yet and actually I thought it might just stop short on the left Ed I thought oh man did he run too soon did he run too soon tripled in there but you know under that circumstance and and the the amount of time that we spent out there that day and and to finally him make one and get ahead because you know he started off one shot ahead and then I birdied the second hole and he bogied it and then the rest of the day it was pretty Prett much uh I was ahead of him until he buried 17 yep yep and in that playoff when you got to 16 you uh kind of mentioned your drive but also where you where you left that Chip Shot I just can’t believe how good a touch that was was the lie as bad as it looked the lie was bad but which actually was a benefit because you could get it tumbling I could get it tumbling exactly you know you’re a player you was B so I knew I got it on that first swell it was it wasn’t going to have spin it was just going to take off and roll so it was actually actually kind of a blessing in disguise wow and then 17 so that I I didn’t remember this when I went back and watched this so tiger he hit first it looked like and he hit it out to the right and that if you’ve never been to Valla that side of the right side of the fair way really falls off almost a cliff down a cart path go down there I have no idea have no idea that’s the only drive he hit off line other than 18 I mean but I mean that ball was wide and and long off I I thought he was going to be dead I thought he was going to be down there by 14 t-x so you’re thinking when that ball’s in the air and this and where it lands it it hits the spectator stays on top to where he’s a chance to really just punch it onto the back of the green hit it over but if it ends up down the hill you’re probably thinking your head man if I just play clean golf I I probably win this thing now like the advantage is totally in my you know as well as I do if that thing goes down that Hill he’s gonna he’s gonna work just to make five from there yeah yeah you know that would be a hell of a five if he made it from from down there if it got down there because he might have had to pitch out back into 14 Fairway and then he had the strength maybe to get it up over and back into 17 Fairway that’s right and and then 182 I mean those were weird like drives all like where your ball ended up that lie looked terrible and then Tigers looked like it was going to be in that left Fescue area and how far back did his Drive really go on 18 you know what it it it’s kind of funny because when we got done I never saw tiger and myself I guarantee you I guarantee you tiger never saw what his ball did we couldn’t see it from the T box because it went over the hill and when I got done playing I remember uh you know tiger went one way with the Press I went another way with the press and Ken ventu goes what do you think happened to that ball in 18 I go what are you talking about and you know they had the headsets on like like you have on and and I had my headset on with Ken Venturi and Jim N and you hear over it over the headphones stop it Ken don’t don’t need to go there and he’s like no let’s show it again and he goes so what do you think happened there and yeah uh Mr ventur pushed that issue of wanting me to see what because we never saw that happen we didn’t see anything from the t- boox because you couldn’t see over the hill what happened and I was like well I have no idea what happened but you know it was a a weird bounce yeah because it went straight backwards right no right is that okay lot people think think that young that young kid or young gentleman hit it threw it kicked it whatever okay where where was it heading where was that ball heading if it doesn’t in the bushes or it was headed in the bush or out of bounds right out of right on the other side of that bush I did not know that honestly if if you you’ve been there that’s a pretty steep hill that’s a real Steep Hill I think it just it just hit and it took off back down the hill my my whole thing is you know there was enough people around there to say that kid did moved it or say something to an official um I think at that point of the day everyone there wasn’t there wasn’t just surely tiger rooters or Bob May rulers rooters they were people like hey this is just a great great tournament it’s coming out good we we enjoying the competition yeah I didn’t I mean just those B bounces on 17 hitting a spectator and then 18 the crazy bounce these are all things that I me a lot of people didn’t realize when he when he punched out on 17 you saw it and it hit the cart path and jumped over the rough yep I was wondering red rolled up onto the green and then over it cuz how loit came up I was like oh that’s not getting through the rough and then hits the path and skips over just they I mean you got to get lucky to win sometimes and and obviously tiger did there good breaks I mean you tell me a guy that hasn’t won a with a good break right yeah I mean you’re exactly right and 18 gosh I mean that putt that you even hit uh because you hit a wed shot that took the right slope all the way down and the camera angle they used was fantastic because it showed just how severe that slope was and for you to get that line and speed almost perfect I mean I can’t imagine just how in the zone you were to be able to judge that putt so perfectly no you know if my putting was really coming around right then and and to to to pull that putt off and almost make it it was a great putt but you know it was just not quite hard enough yeah go one I hit so hard in regulation that I was afraid on the next oh that’s that’s that’s the old classic second guy so I mean Bob we talk about Valhalla now in 2024 uh what are what are the fans kind of expecting to see because it’s been you know since Rory won in the PGA and then everybody remembers the the PGA that we’ve been talking about you know what’s your favorite hole out there and what what are fans expecting to see with vaja gosh my favorite hole you know there’s so many good holes out there in in my personal opinion you know um I like I like 12 you know where you have to you can’t hit a driver you have to position it out there and then hit down to the green I like the short Hole uh 13 yeah and then I love I love 15 I think 15’s a great hole on the back n um 18’s a a good fun hole you know they have taken a lot of slope out of that green uh at least when I was back there probably eight years ago they took a lot of slope out of that green but then we go to the front nine I mean two is a good hole Three’s a I mean there there just a lot of good holes on that golf course and the only hole I didn’t like was seven because I couldn’t take it over I couldn’t I couldn’t take it over the yeah the green you know everyone else was the real long guys could go left and then go over it I I would go left and then I’d have to hit out to the right a little bit so that’s you know in vaja too it’s it’s it’s a golf course that’s produced some incredible television so I I I expect to see you know some of those same types of uh moments that we’ve seen uh in the past years whether it was the Ridder cup for the the PGA of 201 or5 so um I think it’ll be an exciting exciting tournament for sure well who you taking gosh I mean oh man I mean how can you not I mean Scotty sheffler he just he’s amazing right now right he’s unbelievable it it’s unbelievable you know uh it’s great to see him you the media was kind of on him about his putting and you know you hear it enough and then you start questioning yourself and you could see that he was questioning himself a little bit it’s great to see the mental work that he has done to put that out of his mind and and to be back to where he’s at because it could get in your head for a while and he he was he’s strong enough and smart enough to to just put a a blind eye to it and say you know what I was just in a slump and I’m ready to go again and he I mean there’s so many good young players you could probably name there’s so many people and they can all win it they sure can the story lines are great you you have Jordan spe having a chance to to you know win his career Grand Slam and then you have Justin Thomas being from Louisville who actually I read was an eight-year-old at that uh PGA back in 2000 in the clubhouse when you were doing your media you didn’t happen to bump into little Justin Thomas did you no I didn’t I didn’t know about about him then but it was funny because I saw an interview that that he was at that tournament yep yep his dad being a PJ of America teacher and being from Louisville area they were uh at that event and probably was the event that uh realized JT he wanted to be a professional golfer but uh watching Tiger Woods win and and Bob do you think we’ll ever see Tiger Woods win another major I would never bet against him yeah you know I think if if if if his leg was in good shape where he could he could walk and and make it I I don’t see why not I mean he still hits the ball good he could still do it all I just think unfortunately his his health is holding him back um I think you know one two rounds I mean maybe if he if they gave him a cart because walking is really it takes it out of you especially when you have an injury like him but the thing that people don’t understand he can still hit the golf ball it’s not it’s not hindering him so much as the golf swing it’s the actual five miles of walking that you’re doing up and down Hills and things like that so I I think you know that’s the only thing that’s holding him from from winning because I still think his game is good enough to win and uh he still hits it out there with with these young kids and with the injuries that he’s had you know from from the car wreck injury to just his back swinging to his knee um from swinging um it’s pretty impressive oh I know we all want to see Tiger Woods back in the mix and it would get a lot of butts on the on their couch watching on TV if he’s anywhere close to the lead on Sunday but I think we’re in tune for a fantastic PGA Championship and Bob are we gonna potentially see you in Louisville this uh this next coming week or you gonna be watching it from home uh I’ll actually be watching it from home yeah I was uh I I I didn’t get any uh invitations or any gigs set up for out there which I thought I might have but I haven’t so uh I’ll watch it I’ll watch it from uh Las Vegas or here in inanitus well there you go uh I imagine you would have gotten a hero’s welcome it’s it’s it’s very odd I imagine coming back and and feeling like you’re a champion because everybody knows who you are but it’s it’s one of the most famous and iconic tournaments in uh in professional golf history and I I I imagine it was a lot of fun to be a part of oh it was a great it was great to be a part of it you know um kenin jry said you know this is the greatest thing ever and I was like oh come on it was it wasn’t like uh you know uh Watson and Nicholas at Turnberry are uh you know I I can Remember Nicholas and I at the US Open and he’s like oh no it is and I’m like to me those are the things I remember as a kid y y and Ken was like no no it is it is and I’m like okay whatever and you know I guess it was a pretty good moment because you know 24 years later you and I are still are still talking about it absolutely I mean that’s what I remember as a kid as I said at the beginning of this interview so thank you for creating a fun memory for me and thank you Bob for taking this time we’re super excited to uh relive some magic of aala this coming week well thank you and thank you for uh thinking of me and giving me a call all right Bob we we’ll talk to you next time and uh and all the best and enjoy the time at the beach see you buddy all right thank you well there you have it that was Bob May discussing the 2000 PGA Championship with smiley a lot of cool stuff in there what were your highlights of that conversation well I mean somebody’s got to give Bob made a Lille right I think that was a big highlight for me is that he’s going to be watching it home on his couch I mean I I I would have thought somebody would have had Bob come in his Chalet and just kind of remedis and talk about the old days that was a little surprising to me as well because he’s a bit of a cult hero I can imagine in that part of the world uh although uh given what we we saw and heard in that interview you know the birds chirping out there in beautiful inas uh down in Southern California uh not a bad place to watch the PJ Championship either so I think wherever he is is we’ll be thinking about him and super cool to hear you all uh discuss that at length and also good luck to him I guess this episode’s going to drop when he’s playing his qualifier yeah the US Senior Open so let’s see let’s see if the Smiley Show bump works on Bob May let’s let’s see if I was Bob and you get the late invite I would wear the exact like Saturday and Sunday outfits that I wore for the PJ Championship in 2000 the Ping hat just yes cloes head to toe J that way everybody knows who I am it’s like hey it’s Bob May and it’s like yeah I I and I hope I sincerely hope that whatever Sunday read scripted for Tiger this week it includes some rendition of the outfit he wore on Sunday where he walked that into the hole and pointed at it that’d be pretty sweet you know uh Bob this would be great if he set up a little booth next to that tree on 18 and had like a maybe a little card out in front and said uh Tiger’s ball was thrown prove me wrong or something like that that would be that would be amazing yes so like hired a kid to to kick it out of the the what did we decide happen there like the ball was thrown is that where did we land on that where where we landed on that was that Bob felt like there were Bob felt like there was no funny business essentially just that there were too many people too many Spectators around at that point in the day and that the crowd was you know of course Pro Tiger but not necessarily just all there for tiger and that someone would have chimed in for the you know for the the the sanctity of the competition and and and would have spoken up if something weird happened there and I I tend to believe in there I think that’s it was pre like pre- sell phone era so you know some sketchy stuff could have happened but Les camera angles too you know that’s another thing too because I guarantee you now there would have been a camera angle to show exactly what happened there so smiley let me hard turn this now are you are you an It’s Always Sunny guy you watch Sunny Philadelphia I’m a big uh I use a lot of their gifs um are you a gif or GIF guy I’m GIF guy I’m a gif guy it’s good for the show the one of us is a gif guy one’s a gif guy I feel like you’re on the right side of history but I’m going to just have to be the guy to be the GIF guy I I was working on like a social production team at ESPN when that like announcement was made and my boss is like yeah it’s called a gif now and I was like I’m not calling it that it’s a gift so thanks but yeah so there you go so there’s a detour there uh so you so then you you would be familiar with the Pepe Sylvio gift from It’s Always Sunny where Charlie day has the big web of yarn is pointing at it yes that’s where I am right now with the PGA Tour you know the Committees the boards the you know the the negoti with the piff I mean prior to this week you heading in with the with the with the whole Rory mroy situation of course he goes out and wins the golf tournament but on the front end of this week the the topic of discussion was there rumors that web Simpson had cleared the way for Rory to rejoin the policy board and take web Simpson’s seat on that board and then it was revealed uh in the you know pre- ter of press conferences and and media availability after rounds that Rory was not going to be rejoining the policy board over the reported objections from other players on that board specifically the players named were Tiger Woods Patrick Klay and Jordan Speed and so then we had that whole wrinkle and we’re like all right what’s going to happen here but then Roy reveals that even though he’s no longer on the policy board he has joined a transaction subcommittee that will be negotiating with the PF alongside some SSG investors and he is one of three players on that subcommittee tiger Adam Scott are the others so I mean yes I’m I’m Pepe syling right now I I I don’t quite know what to make of all this let’s just begin with your overall thoughts processing all the information as it relates to Rory’s involvement with PJ tour negotiations that we found out in this past week well it was It was kind of wild to follow I was a little annoyed um disappointed frustrated whatever word you want to use when Rory at his press conference at Wells Fargo this week announced that he was not going to be on the Wells Fargo due to at at the time was predicted to be like Patrick kellay who didn’t want him to be on the board we knew that there were potential issues between the two guys I don’t know how cordial they are how I I I don’t I’m not here to report the drama between any of the players and Rory macroy but I have been leaning more towards someone like Rory and he’s obviously one of the most influential players in the game he speaks his mind he’s one of the best players in the game one of the best players to ever play the game so for him to not be involved in the conversations in a time in which you feel like you need to have a guy like Rory involved in the conversations that to me was very disheartening I I definitely see from the policy board standpoint it’s like hey there is you know we we do have rules in which players roll on and roll off but then you also kind of look at wait didn’t they kind of add another spot just so tiger could be on the policy board so there’s ways around all of this I I definitely think there there was an issue uh with with Rory coming back on the policy board full-time which obviously came out but with that being said I I do think it’s awesome that the transactional subcommittee came out and by the way when he was playing so well on Sunday I typed in on GIF transactional or transaction I was like there’s got to be a really cool GIF here that I can use on on X or Twitter with uh about Roy mroy in a transaction there was nothing that was that great butock I was I was thinking I was like oh maybe I’ll find something but with that being said I’ll leave you with this is that I think it’s fantastic that Rory is going to be involved in the conversations with pif and probably for his sake he’s get gets to avoid a lot of the other stuff you have to do with the policy board uh doesn’t have to be on as many phone calls but still has a voice in the game and then also gives credit to to all the guys that are on the policy board now that have you know they they hung tough they didn’t they didn’t quit when things were not going their way like Rory did so I can imagine there’s some animosity from those guys they like hey man you left us high and dry and then everything that you did pretty much since then has really not helped us from a leverage standpoint so I think that that there’s a little bit of still frustration from a lot of the policy board players that had plenty of calls that they probably had to hop on being like did did y’all see what Rory said this time it’s it’s not that he’s wrong it’s just like you it it needs to be much more guided in in that whose team are you on and I think that was a frustration from the PJ tour policy board side it it’s not that he’s wrong it’s just the it’s just what you can or can’t say in public when you’re conducting a negotiation like that and and it’s also not that he’s wrong but they’re just going to be different of opinion on this thing there’s no right or wrong that we know of right now until a deal gets done you can point back and say that person handled it the right way I think the most interesting sort of sub dynamic in this whole thing is Rory and Jordan spe and it’s interesting to me that Rory you know kind of referenced he was asked about this whole relationship and and he was saying kind of what we’re saying about Rory as it pertains to Jordan’s comments at the AT&T proam where it was come right off the announcement of the deal with SSG and they were asking Jordan about deal specifics and Jordan basically said well you know we we certainly are going to still have a conversation with the pif and and we’re going to you know further those negotiations but it’s not like we need to do it anymore because we have the SSG money and Rory noted that as as a that may be well and true but it’s not something you say out loud when you’re trying to cut a deal with those people and I think you know Jordan Mayer may not have said this on the record but I’m sure he feels similarly about the statements that Rory made you know in in public about what the tour should or shouldn’t do and the way that changed the leverage that the tour had and having this negot negotiation with the PF so it’s interesting and I don’t think either of them are necessarily wrong I mean I I think that what I agree with as it pertains to Rory’s point of view is that I want to see a unification of professional golf and it seems that Rory is more skewed in that direction now of let’s find a way to get a deal done whatever that looks like I mean I I’ve said something I said some of that effect this last week on the show where I was like let these guys come back with minimal penalties because that’s actually going to be the most effective thing at you know killing live right like to get them to come back and they play here instead of saying you got to go play Corner well it’s never going to happen so I I I I agree with Rory on that but I also can fully understand the hesitations of you know any anyone on the other side of of of the fence that’s has gone through all this work and try to put together this deal and then you know are hearing these these public comments being made to that point it was interesting that Rory basically said when asked about the diff the disagreements with tiger where he said you know hey look friends can disagree we had a nice long 45 minute chat about it and just it was good to hear his Viewpoint you know I’m sure it was good for him to hear mine um I wonder what you make of that relationship between probably the two most important stakeholders in the PGA Tour you know in terms of player public face between Tiger and Rory you know what you make of that relationship going forward both in the fact that they will no longer be together on the policy board but they will be working together on this transaction subcommittee well I I think it’s it is very important that the two are having these these disc these discussions and I think Rory said something after one of his rounds this week um saying that do does a deal need to get done well no but uh would it would it be good for professional golf if it does get done yes and I I think just referencing that both tours um can continue to go on in the way in which they’re heading but I just keep continue to think how many more guys is it continue to take where it’s just hey you know it’s just two more guys it’s it’s Tony feno it’s Victor hin this time it it’s you just can’t continue to lose lose two three four guys every single year it’s just not a winning formula if you’re if the PJ tour is ever going to continue to be um you know considered to be the best tour in the world and right now it’s a debatable very debatable yeah I mean it’s it’s the ratings reflect that I think just the interest past the majors reflects that um so I I guess that and and maybe again we’re just guessing as as you know what happened behind the scenes scenes there and how this whole thing shook out but maybe that was ultimately why Rory ended up on this subcommittee instead of the policy board is that you know the subcommittee seems to reflect a willingness to try to cut this deal with the pif and bring these two sides back together and hammering out those details and and and you know a guy like Rory is clearly more suited to that conversation than a guy like Patrick Klay might be but policy board is more suited towards representing the interests of the larger PGA Tour membership and protecting guys that may feel like you know we don’t want to just welcome these guys back in with the Open Arms whether or not that’s conducive to unifying professional golf they do have to look out for the interest of you know that subset of guys that’s their that’s their Duty as members of the policy board so I I can understand all all you know parties involved and why they end up where they end up um it’s just it’s just one of these things man where it’s like you sent me we were exchanging screenshots on this thing and it just felt like were back you know last summer where we were you know having on a a a a um antitrust lawyer to explain to us the minutia it’s like I don’t want to think about these things man I don’t want to think about subcommittees and committees upon committees like I would just like to watch golf and talk about that you know and and and so I just it just is yet another sign of the times where we have to report on it you know people people have to talk about it there are elements of drama you know invol it’s F it’s juicy but at the end of the day it’s like can we just figure this thing out so we don’t talk stff anymore come and I think the one thing that I want to ask you as a fan uh if you watch the Wells Fargo today or even a couple of these other events this year that have been these runaway winners which we’ve had we’ve had these blowout uh wins and then we’ve had like for instance this week it was a two horse race so I think from a TV perspective that is when it’s nice to have the team aspect it’s like it gives you another reason to care about what Sun JM is doing or what benan is doing you know these players that are so far back but if there is another element to it from a team side you know that that just adds another component to it that it I’m growing onto I I think still the most important thing is who won the Wells Fargo Championship which is Roy maroy I think that all always needs to be the number one thing for the PGA Tour I think it’s you know it’s been what it’s always been it’s very traditional but I do think it’s a cool thing to kind of follow on a day in which it was just incredible golf between two guys that turn out to be on the back nine just one guy but I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that yeah it’s interesting um because I think about this from a couple different viewpoints uh Scott faucet of De golf made a point along the lines of you know this type of leaderboard is what you get when you have a limited field you know where where there are less guys playing in the event and therefore you know there’s more of a chance that you get two guys running away instead of a fuller top of the leaderboard where you know if if Xander starts having an off day there’s someone else who can get there and press Rory and still make it interesting um you know I think that’s a fair point uh I I think the team golf as aspect is also an interesting one because I almost go back to our discussion about Liv Adelaide and and how even though and and this is no offense to Brenan steel but even though he’s the guy at the top of the individual leaderboard it wasn’t even a thing for me it was about the Rippers winning it’s about Ripper and and so I I I think there is definitely something to that um you know I I I just think in general it’s you don’t have to it would be my opinion that you could have Fuller Fields by bringing the live guys back into the fold in some way shape or form you know you’re just adding 10 or so guys to these fields like I would love to see these type of events get to closer to a 100 person field you know that’s where I land too I’m right so I I I think that there are a couple different things I’d like to see done differently to still give it the elite sense but also not end up where you end up today where it’s like oh man like you know and all credit to Rory he ran away with it but it’s like Xander starts losing and it’s like all right well we can just turn this off now because the thing’s over you know and I I think that it’s it that’s tough and and and and I I do think team golf could help with that I think that’s a good point made you know and and but it but it’s this goes back to where when we’re constructing when we’re reconstructing our new combined living PGA Tour new Platinum Tour it seems like we’re we’re differentiating Team events from these other Signature Events but you’re saying maybe still have them combined in the way that Liv currently is set up I don’t know just something to talk about I’m not necessarily suggesting I’m just thinking on a day in which you had a Runway like would it have been cool to have another aspect to follow would I have cared I don’t know I was just really excited to watch Xander and Rory uh battling on Sunday and and it was a it was a it was an awesome battle just think about on the sixth hole or excuse me the seventh hole the par five Rory um three putt and Xander makes an eagle you’re thinking oh it’s Xander’s day uh hold my beer Rory then goes 333 the next three holes and then the thing is just over and what an incredible bunker shot he hit on 15 U making that for Eagle by the way that I mean unal just so good so espe where that pin was I mean that was just like yeah it was just Saucy but um just another thing to you know for us to continue to try to solve the puzzle the uh Always Sunny in Philadelphia GIF the Pepe Sylvio uh yarn board uh we’ll call it yeah I mean I I think I think that it’s you know it it is interesting because I think some of this stuff is like I just want to start taking yarn off the board man like you know it’s like I you know some of these things like what do you think about this like I don’t I don’t know like we’re so far down a rabbit hole now now like I I guess if if you’re pressing me on it like I have an answer for that thing but like really what I just want to see is an ecosystem where with everybody together the right path just makes sense and it you know that that’s the that’s what I guess my overall feeling with a lot of the stuff is is like we’re talking about certain hypotheticals and you’re like well that Way’s kind of contrived now other ways kind of contrived and and it it’s like it doesn’t make sense because the big obvious solution is let’s not have two competing Pro tours you know yeah and right now with a PJ tour you have as a player an OP to play in any event that you want to play in live golf tour from what I understand the contract that you sign you have to play every single event on that calendar and I believe correct me if I wrong and and if you haven’t seen this don’t worry about it but I think Rory mentioned something about a contract PGA Tour player in which hey I’m not against being told where I have to play I I I’ve seen this uh I think there there is a bit of irony there cuz if you go back one year and the the first iteration of the signature event the designated event you know there was this like you know Rory was part of the ideation process there to a certain degree and it was agreed hey we’re going to trial this and you can only skip one of these or you’re find this large sum of money you you don’t collect some large chunk of your pip money and so Rory of course skips the century the beginning of the year then he goes Masters misses the cut and he pulls out of the RBC Heritage and it and it felt a little bit I you know feels a little bit ironic to hear comments like that when he was the guy that didn’t even stick to the thing you just and that might be that might have been an easy calculation for Rory where he said you know what I’m good I don’t need the money that’s fine like I’ll take the fine I’d rather I need this week off that’s fine but that that’s the thing that I think is interesting is is I think it could work and I think in this in this new Platinum Tour world we constructing I think it has to work that way because you’re basically saying hey there are only 18 events that really matter 14 doesn’t really matter so we need you guys to all be here barring some huge injury or other conflict but but yeah it’s it’s you know I I think it’s going to be a better product because the the Byron Nelson this year the the Mexico open all these events that are cognizant all that are just they’re just not the the level in which the highest level of professional golf should be it’s a it’s depleted fields and there is a place for this in professional golf it just doesn’t need to be the top level so I I think for any golf sicko that loves watching golf just like we do we’re always going to pay attention and honestly I’m probably going to care about that tour just as much as I care about the Platinum Tour although I’ll be talking more about the Platinum Tour I like Chris G we haven’t even mentioned that today he’s a player that 100% I thought was going to win this year on the PJ tour if you talked with us with James nitties earlier this year breaking down that c faery tour class he was one of the guys that I I predicted to be just a I played with him in Puerto Rico and that’s what I realize this is I think this is my last start him and I were paired together and it’s like you know what I think it’s time for me to take a break this guy has it’s a Cameron Champ ball flight thing it flies 320 it’s it’s not high up in the air just absolutely smashes it and it it hasn’t been a good year for Chris has not been a good year for Chris at all um but it was really cool to see him go out and support Austin ekro at the cognizant this year on Sunday actually Monday morning he went watched and followed him around so it was you know just to see a guy support his friend and then later on in that year go and get a win as well uh the talent’s there uh he’s just got to continue to his for his game to mature because the talent is just absurd yeah I mean I think I think to to take that point and apply to what we’re talking about it’s like just make the story authentic you know just just just make the don’t tell me the story is something different than what I know it to be because I’m watching it like just make it clear like this is the Platinum Tour this is the premium tour and and we know the story lines are associated with that and then this sort of second level is like the upstart you know whatever you want to brand that it’s the tour where like guys with a dream and and who can play their way to the top tier kind of get get their chance to do that in a way that’s you know maybe more um I think you have to do some marketing around that but you can do it because it’s it’s almost like a a hybrid of the current PGA Tour and what the corn fairy tour is now or the DP World Tour I mean I think there are ways where you can creatively use all the Partnerships that you have in place in this sort of what was this framework deal with the PGA Tour and the p and the DP World Tour to really create something compelling in terms of a storyline but just don’t tell me that this is the story of this tournament when I know it’s not the T the story of that tournament because I’m watching it it’s just not compelling in that way so I I think it’s it’ll it’ll be you know they have the right set of Minds to do it it’s just like can we clear all the hurls that we spent the past 25 minutes discussing with the guys who are in these boardrooms trying to make these deals happen and and the way they conflict and and you know the way they disagree it’s like can we just make all that work to get to the place we need to go to make this thing compelling and authentic once again and I think we can do it uh you know I just hope it’s sooner rather than later so all right Charlie you can do it what that’s worth Charlie hum believes you can do it so he is all in on he is all in on the transactional committee and I’m here for it we need t-shirts we need t-shirts we need we need transaction subcommittee t-shirts I’m sure someone’s already printed those but that’s we need to show up in in Louisville with those shirts on uh that that feels like a good place to any to to end this episode so just as a reminder we will be in Louisville uh this entire next week we’re so fired about this doing uh the preview show as previously mentioned at Mone Steakhouse and Louisville and then we we’re working on some some fun little
