what um broader base tell the folks what the players have have always thought about the players on tour about coming here even now that we’re limited field but before what was special about them coming here that that that you heard like through the years so I think The Travelers well I don’t think I know The Travelers is is a model of how to run a tournament MH and and take a tournament that wasn’t a premier event necessarily on the tour and turn it into what it is today uh and what they did was they just did they made all the right decisions and you you you talk about how the caddies are going to have cars this year and that doesn’t affect that doesn’t affect the the viewers watching like they that’s not going to help their viewers that’s I can help their uh you know their bottom line of the tournament in fact probably heard it but that’s just a small decision that they make that affects the outcome of how we feel when we come here they’re on Thursday night or Friday night right over here they have a whiffle ball game for the players kids and they set up a fake uh green monster and my kids talk about it all year long so you know if if there was ever a time where let’s say I’m not from New England and I’m not going to come here no matter what but if I said to my kids hey we’re not going to Harford this year they’d be pissed because they don’t get to play that game uh and that’s just a these are just like small examples that the public wouldn’t even know and uh I was always so proud to convince players to come play here back in the day remember I convinced Luke Donald to come you got to come play Trav it’s so fun and after the week is done they go it’s one of the best weeks I’ve ever had and in a tournament and I always felt the sense of Pride uh to show off this tournament and now to see what it’s become easily you know outside the majors you know one of the biggest events in the entire world how do you players feel it’s working that the signature uh situation I think it’s great I think it’s it’s it’s really nice to know as a player I know I have to play I have to really play well that week I know that if I want to win the tournament I’m going to have to beat Scotty sheffler on Sunday he’s going to be there that’s just an example um I think it’s really nice for the fans to know that all these guys are going to be playing I think it’s cool that they know how here at Harford they’re going to have a world class field uh I think that that’s amazing I think that the tour has had to make decisions on the fly without really figuring anything out over the last couple years and I think they’re still doing that and I think that it’s been it’s been great I still don’t know if we know exactly which way the tour is heading or how we’re going to do this but you know they they have to choose tournaments like Travelers and make them a premier event which they already are and they can show off what a great product the PJ tour has me you don’t stand over the ball thinking about okay where’s golf headed this year but but a lot of us think of other things that we we should be thinking like look at the ball but that’s a whole another story um what’s the talk of the players it looks like all year we don’t know you don’t know probably there’s not going to be a resolution we’re already almost May right ke so uncertainty look the great events the great players what’s the chatter on tour of is this going to go on for another year or two do we really know where the where the big ship is headed even though ships like The Travelers and the majors Etc exist so I’m going to preface this by saying I know nothing okay Sergeant Schultz yes I I hear a new rumor every day for those of you who remember but I I think the the feeling amongst the players is that inevitably they’re we’re going to come together I have no clue if that’s when that is I think it’d be really fun to have a tournament like The Travelers where you’re coming down the stretch against the PJ Tor versus a live guy I think that’d be fun I think that’d be fun for the media I think that’d be fun for the public I think it’d be fun to watch uh I don’t see a world where having those guys play on the tour is bad for golf or the PJ tour I think that that you know a lot of the guys that left were big characters good and bad um and great players and I think eventually you’d see them come back but you’re still they’re still not going to you’re still going to the live guys are going to have to play on live it won’t just be an event here or there I don’t think any of them are going to jump over and play fulltime so it’s a it’s still a lot to figure out I have so much trust in J Mahan in the PJ tour I’m thrilled about fway sports group coming on with the PJ tour and I uh I just think that they’re so smart and they and I feel lucky that I’ve come along this exact time on the tour because we’re making way more money which is amazing and I think this so fun to come and see the tour growing and seeing you know changes to the tour and I think it’s it’s a great U it’s a great thing to see
