Kids want to be athletes when they grow up. A lot of them do. Um, and I I believe that there is a responsibility when you’re in the public eye that, you know, you should, especially if you’re you’ve been given way way better of a deck than um, you know, most kids and then especially the ones who have been given some bad cards. um that I mean I’ve always thought and it’s really just comes back to kind of my upbringing with my parents and then also my high school at Jesuit. So it was always to me it was like hey just recognize that there’s there’s a lot of people that are struggling and we’re not. I mean I I’ll grind out there and it may seem like the world’s ending sometimes to me out there but I know in in retrospect that that’s just on the golf course and I’m just competing.

Well said young man
Need more athletes like this guy to say these types of things more often.
What he’s trying to say but is too afraid or doesn’t know how…..is that we are created in the image of almighty God and should reflect His image to the world. Love Him and love our neighbor.
Classy man.
Nothing like CLASS

You do not need to be an “athlete” to play golf you just need some skill
Amen brother!! Your a good man
This guy has always been a class act. I have been a fan of his for a while and it is nice to know that he is not just a world class golfer, but a world class person.
What a class act. Hope he wins the PGA some day and completes the grand slam. 🙏
Jordan, you're a top bloke.
He is a true ambassador for life , not just golf.
Great perspective from someone that is very emotional on the Course . 😊
