oh weirdly fun weekend of golf
3:27
ah it was i'm not gonna lie it was looking
3:29
pretty bleak as a saturday afternoon
3:31
sit down to watch really what bespoke be
3:33
the the first home field
3:36
advantage since the pj tour and
3:38
live tour fractured golf and
3:40
man it was a jj spawn fast as a saturday
3:43
afternoon and i think the tour
3:45
somehow managed to avoid all of
3:47
the land mines the roman top of that leaderboard
3:49
and got the winter that they would want out of today will dot
3:52
or i was thinking at one point like a tray merit
3:54
was up there as harm in that
3:56
like how much are they going to pay to a more next
3:58
summer so they going to pay these guys
4:00
the take it dies here tray bahasa ethics
4:03
troy muslims in try mode acts were good
4:05
again
4:06
it will get we're going to good trade more next
4:09
related roy said so much rice
4:11
were going to get the dust up forever avoid
4:14
thrive on a specific
4:16
i don't really know where to start other than
4:19
you will sell tauruses iron
4:21
play is i mean he found
4:23
the slot i don't know exactly when it was and
4:26
is just absolutely relentless he was never going to
4:28
hit an iron offline the only suspense really came
4:30
from whether or not he was gonna hit the fairway with
4:32
whatever he was using off the t did not do a lot
4:34
of that on the sunday biggest the iron
4:37
play is it was a total he was flashing
4:39
everywhere i mean the wedges the distance
4:41
control going after pins that he
4:43
probably had no business going after ah
4:46
in in all ended very very weird but the point
4:48
to get it there was just some tremendous tremendous
4:50
golf and friday
4:52
he said in recent
4:54
like either this weaker in previous week
4:56
that thursday's have been an issue for
4:58
him shut seventy one one over
5:01
on thursday it looked like those can be the case again this
5:03
week the sixty three
5:05
on friday sixty five sixty
5:07
six on the weekends i don't you
5:09
he gets he i'll on eighteen
5:12
why why are you say that there is a property boundary
5:14
he hits a hero aside because where
5:16
he was gonna hit it up by the green i thought for sure
5:18
that there's in of the hospitality gatos
5:20
in upon that line ah
5:22
it but turn off he didn't so
5:24
no harm no foul i want nothing to do
5:27
with eighteen that southwind that that he shot
5:29
the big whole concept of that whole you can't
5:31
just pound driver and and eliminate
5:33
the trouble you gotta hit the driver the right distance
5:36
i want absolutely nothing to do with at all which
5:38
eighteenth hole between south wind and tpc
5:40
sawgrass would you think is more intimidating i would think
5:42
itself when because it's the angles
5:44
sharper and you can't cut it off whereas it at sawgrass
5:47
you can take a line and try to cut off more of it
5:49
plus there's bunkers on the also the
5:51
dog itself isn't yeah in
5:53
the him seemingly longer like i want nothing
5:55
to do southwind it also general
5:58
but like all saga nor cold i've only got
5:59
so fucking art in there's
6:02
water everywhere if you're not the fairway you
6:04
like you're you're running the risk going in the water
6:06
on your on your approach shot
6:08
the greens your tiny bermuda grass
6:11
tufted chip off of everywhere like i
6:13
it mirrors is watching that place
6:16
i was so can you guys i think if you want to identify
6:18
a true fedexcup champion you you move
6:21
the torch a bit of you whittle it down to the last
6:23
a guys that you make them play eighteen it
6:25
southwind seventy two times in a row and
6:28
cumulative store you know who is
6:30
the the biggest declare left left
6:32
in the field who who does it go insane maintain
6:35
their sanity a big that's how you crowd the champion going
6:37
forward i do have a question as it
6:39
relates to sell tourists he drains a ten foot
6:41
putt in the center of the cop on the seventy second
6:43
hole and screams what are they gonna say
6:45
now
6:46
i just wonder who that was directed at right
6:49
promise me i
6:51
think think dearly love this point is still
6:53
i still get uncomfortable watson and puppet he
6:56
fucking poor shooting from outside of like eight
6:58
ten feet and putting in
7:00
from inside of eight feet this week
7:02
to so i'm assuming that sydney
7:05
but like idol it's not like ushered out the
7:07
guys just a matter of like he's
7:09
it just doesn't look good the are marked take
7:11
a lot of the nerves
7:13
the doctor to say like what hey man like
7:16
first of all i i there's been a groundswell
7:18
of support for you in pursuit of your
7:20
first when i think for the majority
7:22
i feel like a lot of people are like yeah it's just a matter of time
7:24
he really is that good i don't think there's really been much of a
7:26
knock on him for not winning at all
7:29
and uh i dunno you gotta use internal weird
7:31
stuff to motivate you anyways but i just
7:33
found that funny that he was somebody tweeted that he
7:35
had that saved in his drafts and i couldn't get
7:37
that image of and i and
7:39
i that's a good point it's a big week for false flag
7:42
a it reminded me of another guy that you
7:44
know i've always supported you know just kind of said
7:47
just stay patient the windsor going to come big oh
7:49
god i knew that was no
7:51
i i think a know i'm i'm
7:53
very much with you i don't really know who was i
7:56
don't really know who was was knocking [unk] torres
7:58
is some sort of choker or something like the
8:01
at i don't know there's there's almost like this
8:03
weird counter narrative building now that like
8:05
he's a good putter like they they talked
8:07
so much about the bad putting that no no no is actually
8:09
like
8:10
he's not good knocking like
8:12
solo at letting go of undergo afraid not
8:15
like catastrophic he's outside the top
8:17
like hundred and almost every
8:19
you he falcons thinks he's better
8:21
than than zero strokes gain for
8:23
the season but the
8:25
year over on twenty two it for trying to i tell ya
8:28
over opening yes that like
8:30
the and i think it's speed controls great is like
8:32
putting awesome we saw lot of that like on display
8:34
but do that it's not like
8:36
some made up fake narrative
8:38
like the the mid range stuff is is mucho
8:41
knock it and it was great today so it
8:43
was awesome see him foot that today
8:45
was that was fun to what is it a midrange
8:47
stuff and see soon short stuff to see was
8:49
like it them mid range shorty railway
8:52
florida a cf the number but
8:54
like at i think of a lot of that was
8:56
really bad at i i i keep making
8:58
this point i swear to god is freed up with his
9:00
or a stroke whatever he found a
9:02
stroke that worked for him and those
9:04
putts go and do they look pretty know is the
9:07
it is a fascinating band
9:09
aid of a chuck knoblauch situation that he has
9:11
going on but those balls are going in the whole now
9:13
i mean there's there's the videos other of the really
9:15
really short ones the
9:18
minister barely went in and those are the ones that
9:20
are kind of trap to the front of mine but did he ever
9:23
miss any one of those was really really important
9:25
it seems like anytime he has a
9:28
significant part late in the tournament no matter
9:30
the linked it's either going and are scaring the whole
9:32
mean the woman he missed on eighteen a brookline
9:35
look like a good governance and same price and
9:37
i know that a little bit longer but according
9:40
to could put their to write something
9:42
i mean it's it seems like whenever it's late
9:44
in the tournament on sunday this is
9:46
not putting and necessarily with a liability
9:49
although it's i mean obviously every shot counts earlier
9:51
and we can have to be what comes back to ottawa
9:53
he makes a difference but our the shortest
9:56
don't seem to be much more prominent any it could
9:58
be a more cows situation
9:59
if you look at the his putting stats from the
10:02
majors like he was almost two strokes
10:04
gains in the us open this year which he almost
10:06
one almost a shot in a hamster
10:08
again putting at the masters this year like it might
10:10
just be like a little bit of a pc
10:12
a tour fast greens kind of thing that
10:14
just doesn't really suit
10:16
his i in the it's not going to be a consistent thing
10:19
week to week but if you do go week to week it's
10:21
it's a bunch of negative weeks in their only one
10:23
really bad when the byron nelson we missed
10:25
the cut and then scars of them was pretty bad
10:28
too but the rest are just hovering around neutral
10:30
and do with that ball striking man there's
10:32
just no you can't hide of him from you really
10:34
can't it's a dream golf course form
10:36
it's a very much a neo it all becomes clear
10:38
to me after the fact that he would win on this golf course
10:41
because ah yes it is
10:43
a precision iron play test
10:45
and and and i'm really pumped for a man
10:47
that was a you could tell how much it was gonna
10:49
weigh in on him at the end his reaction at the end was just
10:51
kind of like a thank god
10:53
finally which is like really
10:55
hasn't played all that wilson's us
10:57
open rest the cottage in scotland
11:00
or scotland twenty eight the open
11:03
t twenty it it it detroit
11:05
and then t twenty one at wyndham so it's
11:07
not like he's like the floodgates have been open
11:09
since he's a he's kind of and scuffling a little bit the
11:12
murders caddy and then immediately one on the first start
11:14
so was or thought those fascinating
11:16
especially on that on the drop just
11:19
like missing the detour them go back and forth and
11:21
talk about yardage isn't all that when there's
11:23
really no prior experience for either
11:25
them together to draw upon and
11:28
so everything's new you're feeling each other out
11:30
and you're in the spot
11:33
ostensibly tens of millions colors are on
11:35
the line like that's a massive massive
11:37
massive spot the game on a
11:39
had has to be happy
11:40
sir
11:42
i wonder on the caddy front first
11:44
or do we have anybody have any insight
11:46
on what happened with the mid round
11:49
that's of what a weird that like this is
11:51
one of those golf things where it was any
11:53
other sport like different things would
11:55
be the biggest story in the world and with when
11:57
it's golf it's just gonna go fuck that's interesting
11:59
it well let's move on it's like the guy
12:02
who won this week fired his caddie mid tournament
12:04
never just like wow that's really interesting ah
12:07
and i i don't know why i don't know what happened
12:09
a is mutual yasser totally mysql
12:12
ah assess assess assess
12:15
as those are good with the categories of but
12:17
i wonder do your point on like on wonder
12:19
if a situation like that almost becomes
12:21
ah utterances unnecessary psychoanalysis
12:24
but
12:25
it almost becomes easier because there's no like
12:28
there's no built in you know not
12:30
scar tissue but there's just no context right like your
12:32
it seems like you're out there are almost like truly
12:35
working together rather than in the back of your head
12:37
like man this is just like fucking detroit
12:39
when used you said this and i wanted to do
12:41
this and blah blah like there's no almost
12:43
like a build up or residue
12:45
kind of that's what are you that he he was talking about
12:47
just just reading this this golf dot
12:49
com article neckpiece through
12:52
sky
12:53
within just offices and i've
12:55
ever had to make my golf career runs brother
12:57
for life was kind of had a rough months together
12:59
in starting to affect our relationship i know guys say
13:01
that when they split but it really was or
13:03
guys the would love to have dinner together
13:06
and hang out and just started was going
13:08
on on the course western to bleed off the course
13:10
and that's not what you want
13:11
no to kind of a weird
13:14
like i'd i would i would be very curious
13:16
know what like were specifically came
13:18
to a head was it is a number was
13:21
at a club selection was at us
13:23
and it could be as simple as like
13:25
a chemistry thing it could
13:27
be as much on will as it is the caddy right it's
13:29
just like it's just not quite
13:31
working for me right now and in my not be your
13:33
fault like but the way i'd
13:35
and and executing things what are
13:37
you know with you out there for four and a half
13:40
hours five hours at a time is just not a great
13:42
match me right now and into a change of pace can
13:45
can be can great thing great thing it's a really tough
13:47
and mature thing to have to do it's age
13:49
twenty six to like a also just
13:51
pointing out like it seems like
13:53
almost every player really good young
13:56
player around this age
13:58
makes a big daddy change as some point
14:00
i mean tiger made it was much younger when he
14:02
made a caddy change but he has got to schaeffler
14:04
made enormous caddy changes i
14:07
mean just got a joint blanks on blanks lot
14:09
of other guys that have j t the little older out
14:12
you know he had one
14:13
doing as such elite
14:16
point in the season where normally it's you
14:19
know i guess it makes sense because it's that stuff
14:21
builds up during the season yeah
14:23
this is a very odd i'm i'm very
14:27
very keen on cuz i think he's
14:29
obviously got the ball start striking chops to
14:32
be a top one,
14:34
top two player in the world it's
14:36
is the matter figuring out these little variables
14:38
along the way yeah,
14:41
think like the pitcher tours gotta be
14:43
this overjoyed with
14:45
him of all people winning this week where he's been
14:47
one of the vocal ones the front
14:49
talking about this is getting up
14:51
in front of
14:52
this is in front of reporters and going to ride
14:54
front door which also maybe point out
14:57
of all the close call his head maybe this
14:59
was the tournament he deserved to win the least the
15:01
hit with a this bullshit
15:03
a gonna be in the on the second
15:06
, or was it where it hits the cart path
15:08
and got caught up in a tree the wanting to prevent
15:10
it from gonna be a bit agree par save
15:13
as to do that at daycare
15:15
that and then steps up on eleven
15:17
and as block leafs one right the whole
15:19
which is not the right place on eleven
15:21
and the ball holds up on the bank
15:24
or on the rock which really didn't do much for him because
15:26
he has go back to the dropper anyways but sept
15:28
shaka always gotta do always
15:30
gotta do is outsource it i in the water
15:32
basically i get to see the middle of eleven
15:34
green and east coast at the flag out
15:37
into the to your eyes on eighteen
15:39
i tried to the water twice what does
15:41
he deal he plays a place so fast
15:43
as possible he he hit that before zal
15:45
sources ball even like came to rest has varied
15:48
even know where was i was so shocked
15:50
by how fast he was plays crazy is
15:52
is reckless or said he is like up it's
15:54
like blaze black jacket he hits on nineteen of
15:56
aegis some of the it's that he
15:58
said he gets of leverage
15:59
it doesn't
16:03
matter doing this and here's how we're going
16:05
to to do it all right you got play close to
16:07
water to widmore that 360 got to a place
16:09
close to hazards i
16:11
got a a i confession i might be a huge step
16:13
shock a guy after i
16:15
think all the the zebra putter, this
16:17
square shoes, the austria
16:19
to valdosta that fired
16:22
at every single flags i think there's so much bad
16:24
is good that i was like mad give me me this guy every
16:26
week this is the sky of grace family still
16:29
living in valdosta by
16:30
that would
16:33
have have been really really really poignant
16:36
in in tough for faldo to
16:38
stomach the guy wearing and
16:41
the
16:41
week after he retired i
16:43
will say say of reminds
16:45
me a little bit of have some j
16:48
in the way that i keep our aggressive he plays
16:50
when in contention in terms of i mean
16:52
he went after but support three on the back that nobody
16:54
should be going after that pin he just like stared
16:57
that pinned down went directly after all the parts
16:59
on the back nine he's running six seven
17:01
eight feet bike as he tried to make everything
17:04
he looks at eyes that respect for somebody
17:06
that when he gets in contention i think we the the same thing
17:08
a pg national this national he
17:10
just steps up place fast and goes for
17:12
the juggler and maybe don't
17:14
need to do that in certain sick or situations
17:17
where display are thing i both the fourth reason
17:19
the back you don't really feel like fourteen
17:22
eleven the yeah thought the island
17:24
one yeah for teens like fucking past
17:26
yeah through two hundred and twenty yards and
17:29
water cut in or down the right
17:31
the daughter who is a quick player to i just
17:33
wanted as a it makes it so that watching
17:35
the playoff was actually like it had physics
17:38
as idea had taste had exactly
17:40
you weren't waiting like a minute between it were shot
17:42
because both of those guys to step up and
17:45
i think what's what's hard to his i
17:48
didn't i this is kind of speaking on both sides of her mouth
17:50
because all we do is gonna talk about the game theory
17:53
and what is it all mean and all that stuff but most
17:56
of em most of most golf
17:58
tournaments are so boring right
18:00
that a really take until the last like
18:02
four five holes when the picture concerts to
18:04
crystallize any kind of see like good
18:07
as guys actually in it this guy's not at it this guy
18:09
nice do this on this all once
18:11
you kind of remove yourself from like well
18:14
you know what is really mean for the pj tour of sept
18:16
straka when the playoff that say who fucking cares
18:18
man like what once you can finally
18:20
kind of free yourself of that stuff is like wow
18:22
this is a delight watch added
18:25
sister a it's a little harder to do
18:27
that these days i think with everything is
18:29
you know what is it all mean but it was
18:31
it was nice to finally yeah the i think
18:33
every kind of collectively felt that click in
18:35
red around that that first time they get like seventeen
18:38
eighteen and and struck a started continually
18:42
car that shoddy hit in the eighteen regulation
18:44
was ah the versus like stop me
18:46
and my travels he was under you know someone
18:48
down and a rough one ninety four two hundred yards
18:50
yeah i was one of ourselves as seen on here at
18:53
don't know that green out of unpredictable reviewed
18:55
a over water into the a t that
18:57
i think it lands into the grain which me
18:59
and makes a huge difference when you know the
19:01
middle summer on on grainy bermuda but
19:03
still that was at one say like everything
19:05
was salvaged like what i'm think the maximum amount of
19:07
risk on that i find the can have on him
19:10
like taking the giraffe in the playoffs
19:14
and , you must really like to smoke good
19:16
number of each other and know it evidently
19:18
did granted it's granted what size of the iceberg
19:20
after taking the draws taking the he's in the rough
19:23
there again with them or had no business
19:25
staying up either i got landed left of
19:27
the fairway state any city like he's
19:29
already taken issue off it's hurting rolled
19:32
his pants over what not and he says
19:34
you know i like very adult
19:36
maybe the most adult decision ever some a
19:38
true that earlier they would
19:40
be like chili's advanced up there
19:42
fifty yards be fifty yards closer
19:45
murphy just really like that number yeah
19:47
i guess it's you know why take the risk
19:49
on a or next shot if
19:51
it's just gonna be a layup right it's like the
19:54
caddies will tell you if you if you can
19:56
get the ball on the green this might be worth the risk
19:58
of doing it but of the best ah
19:59
the little is to get into the fairway with like
20:02
much as take the drop in and try to stuff on in
20:04
their also private pretty good about for
20:06
might win it five is definitely gonna be
20:08
gonna for blast the same thing applies to sell
20:10
tours on the last playoff hole where do you
20:13
hope the caddy looks at them and says do
20:15
you feel better about this shot than
20:17
you do from ninety three yards
20:19
in south sources position or whatever
20:21
was hundred and sixty five or whatever for struck it's
20:23
like it's which which one is going to have the
20:26
the greater outcome most of the times
20:28
like
20:29
the nirvana variables correct
20:31
how tourist wanted to hit up off the rocks
20:33
so badly fine how can we really
20:36
did it it was a foot joy that exceeds
20:38
you'd activations activation to show
20:40
the shoes which the caesar fire the
20:43
like after after he said like okay
20:45
you've already committed to go to the drop zone this
20:47
is purely for practices everybody was the yellow
20:50
, avid i think this is a lot of do that
20:53
does not going to count but please edit can we want
20:55
to see if you can pull that off it was crazy that then
20:57
crazy that was still away
21:00
the office like that that kind of made of
21:03
you can revisit a little bit more the only other shot
21:05
at odds outdoors may have wanted
21:07
to give some thought to was flipping
21:09
the total of the putter over and city with the
21:11
tow but he doesn't have a away you know yeah
21:13
but he isn't a blade putter so it's not slush
21:16
it's not straight on the end
21:18
of the potter so you know but
21:20
he died he had a normal blade or you could flip
21:23
it over ah it's tones cup pop down into
21:25
and it would get up over ideal vj
21:27
exact what it felt like also could have jammed
21:29
under absolute rent the grow yes
21:32
like that where was i i've i could see
21:34
exactly what are you thinking of as i literally just get
21:36
this ball move forward a foot like
21:38
i'm gonna win that alternatively meal with yes
21:41
or or or you belly up with a wedge and he goes in the back
21:43
bunker and than it's like both anything jags
21:45
is truly a thing could happen or it's like hey dude
21:47
ninety yards wide shot you want the best
21:49
was players on earth like this is good
21:51
do that we're not gonna lose the turn right here if we do that
21:54
and gosh i wasn't just
21:56
chaotic sinister sick hospital it's
21:58
hospital can't take as how hard
21:59
kevin smith would a hit betcha had
22:02
, did you see a flop on
22:04
the three today though the up the par
22:06
five this is a complete lunatic
22:09
he missed several bad line mrs sixty
22:11
yards left the cat like he's like looking
22:13
up over a tree just to fly as
22:15
ever the gop even know what he's really look at adhered of
22:18
course he actually pulled that went off with ah
22:20
at that was that was very was penalised
22:23
wheaties rose very good of of agra that assesses
22:25
the make this what can
22:27
i go back to what dj he was talking regularly about
22:29
what is it all mean and just kind of interject with
22:32
the question i had about would we
22:34
care more about the fedexcup generally
22:36
would have more juice if it was not
22:39
surely a boy and exercise for
22:42
fedex which obviously like we know that
22:44
they have to go coming out of
22:46
the hundreds and hundreds millions of dollars
22:48
of they're putting up year over year
22:50
that it was just
22:52
the non blended event now that's got a little
22:55
bit history would we care about it more or will
22:57
it still does kind of like the juice v
22:59
like every other puget were event
23:02
that's great question i
23:04
think what think hear fedexcup i don't hear the sponsored
23:06
part of it anymore it's kind of same way like
23:08
with the genesis or whatever with just hear
23:10
you know i'd i don't think that much about
23:13
in about in that term and
23:15
in still know fight how much i really cared
23:18
just because does pretty easy to gain
23:20
because sense of how people feel about
23:22
it right like i if i ask you right now who won
23:24
the twenty nineteen fedexcup like could you
23:26
name enough top your head
23:27
i i think it was rory
23:30
wasn't that nineteen eighteen was rose the
23:33
i was a gigantic has the exact are jt
23:35
maybe
23:36
the could have been yes i'm saying the give you we
23:38
you could i'd you could tell me one that twenty nineteen
23:41
open championship right of top your head
23:43
pretty easily the mourners mourn or
23:45
maybe not the same our but they by
23:47
be like as a points and it's not like
23:49
a two thousand promotes not as you been on an island
23:51
eighteen it's not the i like the one
23:53
winner of the year is the fed ex cup but
23:56
it was more him acting look at the fact
23:58
that said axis spot this is the
23:59
sixteen year of
24:02
that is a tor has kept fedex
24:04
not only sponsoring this sixteen
24:06
years the doubling down
24:08
and quadrupling down and fill
24:10
have the balls said as a tourist us to six
24:13
foot stop bringing money to it and i mean
24:15
like every race that's insane
24:17
and in and just like almost to the
24:19
point where everybody golf fans almost
24:22
despise said acts instead
24:24
of feeling gracious you
24:26
know what like props the search for supporting
24:29
our game six of feather to separate
24:31
i i think zola go into your point
24:33
about you know you don't really hear it anymore i
24:35
i think that's because you made up your mind like fifteen
24:38
years ago how you feel about it right
24:40
and and part of that is like i'm
24:42
with you job that i i think if it was not
24:44
a like you can't name
24:46
the trophy after trophy after company
24:49
like you just you can't do that and
24:52
name is fred smith memorial
24:54
trophy or something i just i i i
24:56
am just a i dunno
24:58
maybe maybe this is totally totally wrong
25:00
marketing people can absolutely shoot
25:02
me in the face regarding this idea but
25:05
just how much of a difference would it really
25:07
make for fedex if you had called it the pj
25:09
to play offs presented by fedex like
25:12
would be so much different i felt people
25:14
would take it so much more seriously i feel
25:16
like fedex is mostly there for a hospitality
25:20
way anyways and like hosting people
25:22
and doing be to be stuff
25:24
on site at events and
25:26
i mean i i always i bring this story about
25:28
i miss the ruins beef one in
25:30
fifteen i was followed him
25:33
doing like the do
25:35
like social media stuff and taken photos as he
25:37
was doing his trophy like all the different
25:39
things that you do before you go to the media tend
25:41
to before you you know as from like the point
25:43
you sign your scorecard until you
25:45
know the point you leave the property basically i was just like
25:48
fallen him on all that stuff and watching
25:50
him come into the fedex
25:52
party it might the champagne
25:54
toast and see all the executives up
25:56
other day as like oh god of about the fuck
25:58
it hang out with shortage that
26:00
was like oh that's why they do a like as
26:02
other to do with impressions as other
26:05
to do with a that it's just like because these guys
26:07
are dorks they wanna hang out with you
26:09
know golfers a that's where i come
26:11
back like manner be such a different thing if it was just
26:13
the puget her blouse presented by a brand
26:16
and then also to your point drawn like if
26:18
the gravy train ever stops like what
26:20
do you just rename the trophy like a fucking stupid
26:22
is that they do that a lot of other of sci
26:25
so that all push back though cause i think if that
26:27
axis one and like
26:29
you know fred smith whoever wants just hang
26:31
out with pro
26:33
golfers a like his son as the
26:36
falcons head coach and be like
26:38
they can sponsor and that they don't have this spend
26:42
hannah x twenty x or whatever
26:44
they're spending i think what they're what they're buying as well
26:46
as if you just call it the puget
26:48
or play off it's what
26:51
what fedex is buying is all those said
26:53
ex cup
26:55
they're getting promo every single
26:57
day of every single tournament
26:59
and it's access to the entire network
27:01
of other sponsors and the pj tour
27:03
and their businesses and dancing getting
27:06
fed ex involved with their businesses that
27:08
they are other you know where have shipping because
27:10
heart of it is like if you're gonna
27:12
if you're taking a back to or i like
27:14
the puget or play off
27:15
appears for wouldn't have players because it
27:18
wouldn't does not play offs it's leader exactly
27:20
it's just was like that with flavor gerrymandered
27:22
this entire thing to to make it work
27:24
for the title sponsor here
27:26
when really like this the whole fucking thing stupid
27:29
sending that it's a great meeting train ever did
27:31
dry up there can't be that many
27:33
other companies that are totally
27:36
liquid enough to sponsor or something like i mean
27:38
we're doing their bidding against themselves and ryan
27:40
and and honestly fedex stock was
27:42
like in the tank the last few years to the
27:44
point where people were wondering if walmart or
27:46
shopify was going to buy him the other thing
27:48
is like at some point like all right sub
27:50
shaka was i hadn't made a
27:52
caught in a couple months and he's all
27:54
the sudden going to be in the top ten now
27:57
so many see a like top top seller tubby
27:59
now it's like
27:59
it would you know
28:01
those those guys the runway leaderboard on
28:03
saturday
28:04
one of them wins like what a farce so
28:06
is there anything anyone could do to give this juice
28:08
or know the just it's just doomed to be
28:11
what it is love i think it's gonna change
28:13
for the better i mean having one hundred twenty five guys
28:15
get in the playoffs is just like having all thirty
28:17
nfl teams are thirty to have me at
28:19
thirty two nfl teams all make the playoffs and like
28:22
couple of get a start little bit of a head start in one
28:24
of the games when reality at like seven even
28:26
seventy habits it starts with next year is
28:28
not enough of it whittled down to like here's
28:30
the guide the made the playoffs if you want to make some actual
28:32
that's actually every probably there's there's some
28:35
guys would like legit
28:36
hard to play one hundred and sixty
28:38
that like between all the different exemptions
28:41
and get a jail free cards and or the with the has
28:43
sweats eight hundred seventy one hundred and sixty
28:45
feels like a similar
28:47
the portion to
28:49
n b a or nfl or something like
28:51
that but yeah it's crazy to see it
28:53
like a tyler duncan up there me like acted
28:55
like he finished well outside
28:57
the top one hundred this year like get the fuck
29:00
outta here oh you shouldn't be in the postseason deafening
29:02
i i
29:03
definitely definitely agree with that i
29:06
also think i know we talk about it
29:08
every year matchplay i know all the inherent
29:10
risks but this they got exciting today
29:12
when it was mano a mano also
29:14
through madeleine iterations yelling match
29:17
played a match play final would be
29:19
so much more interesting and he may have to do something
29:21
like weird for that too the habit
29:23
ray mit to be like a
29:25
story
29:26
the tour championship final round with a certain number
29:28
of guys and slowly whittle it down or something like that
29:30
would be phenomenal but than
29:32
, all the like people come in the you
29:34
know coming from the other side of like you're given away
29:37
so much money that uk it's the same thing with the olympics
29:39
like you're trying to crown a true champion
29:41
like you can't do some fucked up format format
29:44
still love the fact that i think they're still
29:46
scarred from the whole like kevin like
29:50
for sure he ruined the mad at the batch
29:52
play or got pierre folky
29:54
who we talk to you it's we it's will say

33:20
the basic simple nineveh it's
33:22
three very easy three steps in my mind
33:24
cam broke the rules should have been penalised
33:26
that's all i have no issue should have known the
33:29
you know the suit unknown the rule one at that's
33:31
another one in the third as like uk a
33:33
web what point are rounds over man if you
33:35
want to i hate thai running back to gambling
33:37
and and and betting and everything but there is a whole slew
33:40
of people that are interested in this sports
33:42
based on the fact that they can game on it and have
33:45
fun and more is pushing that angle really
33:47
hard really hard and how
33:49
see not disqualified for signing an incorrect
33:51
scorecard said they changed that rule
33:53
to the point where if you've got something app you
33:55
sign your card and video review
33:58
changes a ruling you did not
33:59
incorrect scorecard have you sign your scoreboard
34:02
your rounds over like that you would
34:04
think that's where i would agree that it's like hey
34:06
or first of all with the all of the
34:08
these results are official everything is
34:10
moot at this point
34:12
there should be the and way is not governed
34:15
on the pj torn that's my issue but like
34:17
how i don't expect the rules official that regroup
34:20
i don't expect every shot to be you
34:22
know of like tracked by rules official but i do
34:24
expect a ruse official to be watching the
34:26
telecast and that should i didn't know
34:28
this rule i really honestly didn't know this was a rule
34:31
but that should have jumped off that i jumped
34:33
off the screen at screen at official that was watching
34:35
it to say okay wait a second from and a half
34:38
size or i'm going to ask him about this
34:40
after the round because that drop on for did not
34:42
look like it was right and the fact that it
34:44
took until that night for someone to see it is
34:46
that's that's attorney watches it that night
34:48
and then waits another
34:50
the hours to to even services
34:53
and then another it like it was one
34:55
one o'clock by the time was with one
34:57
or two eastern by the time all this was
35:00
like that's like what the fuck happened
35:02
in the in there the sixteen
35:04
hours like earthed or that the twelve
35:06
hours from the time that this guy we
35:09
watched it at ten pm that night
35:12
who even ten ten am that next day
35:14
it just doesn't make sense to me and it's also
35:16
like if that happens in round for
35:18
it is not a say i guess
35:20
not gonna come out tomorrow that are go back and change
35:22
that all the tournament so makes it all feel
35:24
so blessed
35:26
arbitrary yeah it's just
35:28
ah is it's like like what is the tour
35:31
ever been adamant
35:33
about like
35:35
the rule
35:36
like i mean they've given patrick read the benefit
35:38
of doubt on every possible occasion the
35:41
movies and like the timing of this after
35:44
all the can live stuff this week it's just like
35:46
and you know it's like it seems like everything
35:48
was above board as far as like this is the right
35:50
ruling
35:51
that the whole timing of it never they just
35:53
sucks even more it it's a very convenient
35:55
connecting the dots of like the seems pretty vindictive
35:58
and i don't i don't necessarily
35:59
agree with that it it certainly looks
36:02
worse i mean it it will been any other player
36:04
that's a story does not a big story but because
36:06
it's came smith
36:09
yeah and i mean look the some of the stuff has
36:11
happened i remember the timing was of dylan
36:13
, tallies penalty from that he got i think in
36:15
hilton head when he hit the ball out of the tree but
36:17
he was straddling is line bug that was a
36:20
video review of some kind so it's not like
36:22
you know only cams getting singled out here
36:25
i just yeah i don't know what the
36:27
actual protocol is for like as the the cards
36:29
or scion emeralds visible i saw this on tv
36:31
later i didn't say something
36:33
immediately like that like to me like that rule
36:35
official
36:36
cool year suspended
36:38
straight up like you twelve hours went by and
36:40
say anything and then finally and maybe
36:42
they did in there was like a we can't
36:45
during to we're back on site the know maybe
36:47
try to get a whole to i don't know that but
36:49
it it's just not it's not great it's
36:51
it's it's it's really not with
36:54
our brian hormones else
36:56
your lack shoes with like the rumpled
37:00

the hundred and eighty degree turn into
37:07
a job that i like it i'll try to get all
37:09
the designers we are so much other stuff to talk
37:11

37:14
i ask if i notice it's just that it was
37:16
like harmonies the care so deeply
37:18
about that he was wearing and how address
37:21
where now it's like that like the guy looks like he's
37:24
going , or had suffered or falcons
37:26

38:13
to try to paint both of if we're talking about
38:15
guys see three lucas glover
38:17
one from a hundred and twenty first in the in
38:20
the vaunted sex cause sensitivity
38:22

38:32
in now ah out of scott
38:34
one from you know outside the car the
38:37
casually going into wyndham the seventy
38:39
seven to forty fifth now shut
38:41
sixty six today two hundred and one
38:44
who and or what is a tailor more
38:46
i've never heard of taylor
38:49
more but apparently he is not
38:51
always had a professional golfer but
38:53
when you met my house
38:56
honestly hope that when new submitted
38:58
well ah , the
39:01
very serious golf have access i think
39:03
i played ping pong with him a few years ago at the corn
39:06
ferry the
39:08
abusive and i'm like the videos
39:10
slot emitted taylor due to spot in the earth
39:13
have given more why he
39:16
do that either we don't need to get hug
39:18
of others would purely because it's fun just
39:21
, have added another sport like look at those
39:23
at the scoreboard at the of those that have
39:26
never heard of as he was
39:28
that aaron of wales
39:31
ah the clicks and feminists have
39:33
further soraya what as a result
39:35
of the wildcat i've heard of him because
39:39
he i was i will say though i
39:41
was when of exciting finish today but also
39:44
if i have made this point enough point recent weeks and months
39:46
like months like
39:47
i don't want to your the impression that we're pretending like the
39:49
dude that have left for live ah
39:52
don't matter because like this tournament missed
39:54
like bryson would have done some dumb
39:56
shit this week either done something weird
39:59
brooks is like police were like checking in
40:01
on to see how he's doing dj is another
40:03
name that like it just kind of feels like
40:05
and this this this thought today was when
40:07
you think that's like twenty fourteen twenty fifteen when we
40:09
started the show how rough shape to pg
40:12
tour was in a mean it was a it
40:14
was a lot of white not only was a lot of white belt
40:16
of this time but it was just like a lotta like
40:18
some you'll know and camille of a j guess
40:21
and like mack couture stuff going on
40:23
that was not that exciting and that seemed like there
40:25
was but the farm system was really good
40:27
right and we got a lot a lot
40:30
of prospects graduated up and we've
40:32
had a pretty good run of of solid
40:34
tor golf and then like salary
40:36
caps hit and we had to offload a lot
40:38
of the players and now it's like times
40:41
like yeah now kind of stuck in between
40:43
like yeah we saw raises a relative
40:45
spread of money exactly and
40:47
we're kind of stuck between like every rebuilding a
40:49
reminding for prospects or are we kind of
40:51
embracing this window to compete and
40:53
flair to be named later yeah it with as
40:56
that's the feeling i had watched this week as a man
40:58
we lost and talent and it is
41:00
it's gonna affect the viewing and
41:02
it's not even the so the talent is it is the
41:04
entertainment value that some of those guys brought
41:07
have brought have of guys left i don't
41:09
really care to watch by golf and yes but
41:11
there are some that i will miss watching them compete
41:13
in this realm like bryson
41:16
especially
41:17
i'm curious to the know i like how they
41:19
go about it with the one twenty five vs
41:21
a know your father resigning and all that
41:23
stuff how much deeper they're gonna need
41:26
to go if they need to make any changes the priority
41:28
list as they move forward whether it be
41:30
you know letting more corn very guys
41:33
in are more guys down the list
41:35
the on the top one twenty five and the fedexcup
41:38
four cards go to the think that's gonna be a very
41:40
real
41:41
the duration of before i
41:44
think gun on that front is i think to
41:47
in order to what they'll i'm sure more structural
41:49
changes will be coming in the playoffs
41:51
is is a good start but
41:54
just continuing to make sure that you
41:56
know this the studs are what
41:58
did a front line as as possible theory
42:01
that i think is just becoming more
42:03
and more ever part because that the farm system
42:05
is gun rights everyday the
42:07
i think probably highlighted by no one better themselves
42:09
or
42:10
if you want to even call that a minute know he's kind of been
42:13
in every big event over the last
42:15
couple of years but it's not just him cam young
42:17
to gala i think there's a bunch of a bunch
42:19
of dudes that are like how
42:21
do we have we not rigged system but
42:23
let's make sure these guys are are not having
42:26
too much food taken out of the mouse by the
42:29
dungeons and things of that nature but zealots
42:31
was wasn't even a fucking playoffs last year
42:34
right , of saying we didn't read it if
42:36
we to figure this out and then and then line of
42:38
it you know that you're a d was on the sixty man by september
42:40
first guess i see have
42:43
, have have profit about like about
42:45
the or one hundred and two hundred a bullfight
42:47
as it would he have distributed the devil i didn't use enough
42:49
to zero of this is they didn't wanna have
42:52
started served on a slot and arbitration
42:54
on us ah but now it's like
42:57
ago i was kind of reminded of it this year with like
42:59
roy seventeen early on falling losses
43:01
corner wherever
43:02
check it out he didn't because he cashed in his
43:04
you know for the top twenty five or
43:07
top thirty career money house he not
43:09
and live by the way that see for sure
43:11
that the upset of the century i might be like
43:13
our good man i love
43:15
market to see i think jimmy walker
43:17
might have lost his car did he did he did
43:19
to congratulate you are that that's that's
43:22
exciting for us is sandy johnson hearts on
43:24
the lotto about how a promotion and
43:26
relegation system would be very very
43:28
exciting and give more meaning on
43:30
a week to week basis for the guys that are closer
43:32
to the cut offs and that's one
43:34
thing that fiji tours could realistically
43:36
due to be live to the punch because we
43:38
have is talking about while we will you for he spots
43:41
and so that we
43:41
who knows exactly how the last the
43:44
bottom twelve guys are in a shaken and now
43:46
and
43:47
there's obviously a need to bring the contrary
43:49
guys up sooner and give them more opportunities
43:52
where you have all these fields were on to beat
43:54
a dead horse like john he since getting and regular
43:56
bj torment and that's something that's
43:59
worth doesn't
43:59
to go way out of its way to do like
44:02
them infrastructures already in place why
44:04
don't they don't that it seems like emerged point
44:06
system would make so much more sound exactly
44:08
like it a there are times
44:10
when it would make a ton of sense ton call up corn for guys
44:13
to play and pj tour events but they don't do that myself
44:15
status retain even if it's only like
44:18
when we all really it you know like
44:20
you don't have to be every single week but
44:22
the guys that have been playing the best for last three months should
44:24
be playing on pj to an emitter figure
44:26
out how to give them no equivalent
44:29
points for the court very that i'm sad day
44:31
i got a given some kind of some sort special
44:33
temporary membership were like once you get caught up to
44:35
the tory it's works like a major medical you need
44:37
to get this number of points to stay there okay
44:40
we'll started playing better than most of the
44:42
guys on the bottom seventy in own points anyways
44:44
than
44:45
we'll figure it out or to go back to the effort
44:47
or doesn't matter
44:48
the thing we i give j to spawn a shoutout
44:51
seventy eight or they could respond a lot
44:53
of eventually were him how hives a store
44:55
it was like one of those glitches recovery spotting
44:58
right in front of the you know that on
45:00
the list
45:02
by the way they set of if you're playing you're playing
45:04
game where's our taurus was a like
45:06
is he actually in the hazards is
45:08
i can see that the iguanas blitzes really you
45:11
can't like you can't even take of unplayable
45:13
from there to support a drop regular
45:16
video games though i did have that on my list to bring up
45:18
the tree monex might be the most ea sports
45:21
ah create a player the offer
45:23
on the beach it's or as as gotta what
45:25
was feeling like for a while there of just like oh my
45:27
like create a player avatars
45:30
in the final group with with without
45:32
source like this pretty cool when first springer mountain
45:34
farms taken on a sir alex alabama
45:36
grad enough
45:38
the of i'm good at of get i bet
45:40
i'll say i'm back and forth on
45:43
does the playoff point system makes sense like doesn't
45:45
make sense for to for guys make beyond
45:47
make as big a leaps as they are in
45:49
in the playoff events i i think
45:52
they probably have to do a system that where it is
45:54
possible to do that or else it's really not a play off it's
45:56
just kind of things got better yet i
45:58
think it it seems about right you could
46:00
always tinker it but i guess it a little
46:02
weird substructures now the top ten yeah but
46:04
like he wanted tournament this year and got second in a
46:06
play off of that like that kind of adds
46:08
up to me like has he had the best season know but
46:11
if you want any kind of level suspense
46:13
and these playoffs need to have the opportunities that
46:15
can happen otherwise it's just it becomes
46:17
like the just like you know a t m
46:19
line are lining up the bank
46:22
teller to collect money the
46:25
ball goes farther with more humidity they could
46:27
not understand this concept on thursday
46:29
it was have you a jt st clair
46:31
that ally they got by the system on now and
46:33
i think he kind of realized that hey i might a not
46:35
really arguing with sally here i'm arguing with science
46:38
and i don't want of i don't wanna you know lose
46:40
that battle and i'd have the flip the fedex
46:42
or plane fly over on saturday i
46:44

46:46
an outpouring of passion for for this country
46:49
and and that these the fedex servicemen
46:51
that was a those with that was a bizarre
46:54
bizarre ah i don't from
46:56

46:58
that big a tradition that they invent they need orange and
47:00
purple chem trails it will anyway if if i others
47:02
or six like they that a few at the heritage
47:05
over the years or that you know owing
47:07

47:14

47:23
to not really when you will
47:25

47:28
when you've made a nine annulled i think he was already
47:30
is a pretty good said he wasn't a tough one
47:33
for certain randy of the top ten but that
47:36
up lots of just take is completely off track
47:38
of is very important conversation but saki baba
47:40

47:44

pressel of and was your gallagher gallagher
48:29
was out there julia johnson did a great
48:31
job like the camera angles were awesome
48:33
it when you give them a chance to read get out and
48:35
run without a tonic commercials it's
48:37
amazing what they're capable of have that wednesday
48:40
thursday like each night it was in prime
48:42
time it was a the fobbed
48:44
we've with with the at a fog delay
48:46
they went an hour or two hours longer
48:49
than they were
48:50
the anyone with the tv schedule in
48:52
making compromises it
48:54
was awesome i loved it and winners that
48:56
many like there's not much character development to
48:58
where i didn't know who ninety
49:00
five percent of these ladies were going
49:02
into wednesday night or thursday night
49:05
and when you give him a few hours to
49:07
tell the stories of when they do the research in
49:10
a college coaches and talk to the swing coaches
49:12
like you know brickhouse key or lerner
49:14
they're talking to chris como
49:16
or they're talking to jam darling
49:18
from michigan or just the silverstein
49:20
from u s c like it it's truly
49:23
like either they're true trying to educate
49:25
the viewer and it makes a big difference
49:27
and and then you add chambers bay to it which
49:30
holy shit man like even the
49:32
little stuff like the hard camera is i'm watching
49:34
right now and they they're gonna eat whole
49:36
and have a camera that set up behind the green up the
49:38
top of the hill and it shows they can zoom in a shows
49:40
the entire whole and in the campaign and over
49:42
and show the rest of the golf course they can show the night
49:45
i mean it's little things like that the go
49:47
the extra mile to make the broadcast
49:49
really good and worth watching and
49:52
i'd i couldn't agree more tc like govt
49:54
a great job sweet what makes the venue
49:56
matter that much more that you can give people a sense
49:59
of place a go and
49:59
members and not really doing it justice and
50:02
make you want to go play it and give
50:04
you a sense of what the players are dealing with some of the shots
50:06
with up the pins as at times work
50:09
like ridiculously hard to really
50:11
address the per match flag of like points and
50:13
will say it like this like this the quarter
50:15
like out of the round of sixteen around
50:17
of eight said it just saving it for the finances
50:20
of i was cool yeah was like do this is hop on a
50:22
knob a like a want you to not get just figured
50:24
out like that is this a stroke playpen know but
50:26
just don't aim at it but try to figure out how to get
50:28
up at in and of course little awesome
50:31
i'm in the new greens are great it was planned
50:34
mega from like the lag
50:36
putting your to be creative as hell it
50:38
looks both crispy and green
50:41
at the same time wouldn't ask why
50:43
the items i i can fix their i told you before
50:45
we we came on there's been like fourteen
50:48
different times this week there's gonna be costly
50:50
hell out of the back either i look up and i'm like whoa
50:52
where's that my god sabres
50:54
bay again like this is looks like the coolest
50:57
freaking golf course in america it's it's
50:59
unbelievable that it's gonna be a tragic
51:02
tragic situation i think if chambers
51:04
bay becomes one and done on the
51:06
in at least in a men's pro game they're brought up
51:08
in like twenty seventy five though that's
51:10
true yeah i don't us
51:13
women's open their maybe at the you know i know the us yeah
51:15
hence to do that of them inside at least gonna have
51:17
the us am six
51:19
seven eight years before they announce like
51:22
as made us
51:24
open the at a place in obviously
51:26
with them booked up in so many different places maybe they're
51:28
thinking that on the us women's open side which
51:30
be really cool
51:32
yeah i don't blast so i don't
51:34
care what turn with a player they just need to play more told
51:36
as golf here because i will watch all that yeah and
51:38
it's also add in i know the answer to this
51:40
as a unit you need to pay the players but also
51:42
a big question is what has amateur golf that
51:45
much easier to watch than pro golf like are easier
51:47
produce like a really good coffee product
51:50
and i now feel so commercials pay
51:52
the person and all that stuff but it's just as a question of
51:54
i did it this is is amazing
51:56
with are able to do story telling lies
51:58
with her and with with shut up works for
52:00
giving us on amd uninterrupted coverage always
52:02
as as you say he added that
52:04
it's it's impossible to
52:07
overstate the effect of that still
52:09
have a lot of rolex yeah but super thankful for them
52:11
every time they do with awful on money and every bit
52:13
when share it also says i mean some of the ill
52:15
i thought the semis and finals fry them
52:18
the weakest golf of at all your thought
52:20
the round of thirty two or the round
52:22
of sixteen around of a like this
52:24
and tenacity out there are
52:26
moon a child like her stories unbelievable
52:29
kind of it was in deep deep deep
52:31
in the wilderness ah almost
52:33
like quit the game basically and
52:35
then a loved watching amari avery
52:38
like she's i guess the next the
52:40
big thing once you learn how to control or span
52:42
and just clean something's up she's got our
52:45
for days ah catherine rao
52:47

52:50
cute mom was a bit much for me there
52:53
is tom sawyer know i'm in
52:55

52:57
it was such as such a credit
52:59
to golf like i was on the fences
53:01
we've got one hundred event on
53:04
our message for having an event out there next

or a job what the hell are you doing here
55:26
and i've on them to about mitt ike
55:28
mitt sent job like the agenda earlier this week and
55:30
gonna said you said you the show here you do
55:32
you pointed you point is where we need to be you
55:35
are you take a lot of pressure office in terms of
55:37
delivering the goods on what went down this week
55:39
way that the hearing was like three weeks ago
55:41
and i'm afraid of seems like it was of course
55:43
but ah first first question as
55:46
after you are gonna give us some a background
55:48
in your suffer smallest ah is the
55:50
as is judge freeman the mvp this week oh
55:52
gods are just quick into like at
55:54
i am a business litigation attorney in florida
55:57
i don't practice in california i do not practice
55:59
anti
55:59
the law because the companies that
56:02
care about antitrust law or the same companies that can
56:04
pay their lawyers thousands of dollars an hour to
56:06
argue about antitrust laws know
56:08
it's crucial that i did you guys over
56:10
the context that i'll be critical of what i saw
56:12
from an advocacy standpoint for me
56:14
loitering standpoint but i'm not going to be
56:16
overly critical of the credentials or qualifications
56:19
or complements of lawyers who we saw arguing
56:21
this week is all of them are far smarter from
56:23
yum and and far more experienced i
56:26
think where were you know what was important to begin
56:29
on tuesday that yarrow hearing temporary
56:31
restraining order what's distinguish
56:33
between what we saw on tuesday and then what
56:36
it means for the overall case rights motion
56:38
for temporary restraining order there's
56:41
essentially the opening salvo of what is
56:43
going to be a years long legal battle
56:45
unless the with the iconic
56:47
on the live lawyers would players lawyers at
56:50
dismisses case and try sort of or somewhere
56:52
else this is the
56:54
only question that was before the judge was
56:57
can tailor gooch matt jones
56:59
and hudson swofford play at least three pockets
57:01
the first the three four kids these poor boys
57:03
can they play off on on
57:06
thursday at this weekend fedexcup that's
57:08
it and so from there it
57:11
it has implications for the larger case because you
57:13
have to get a little bit into the weeds of what's
57:15
the likelihood of success of the merits of
57:17
the overall suit will be to make a decision for the judge
57:20
by what we saw on tuesday was just
57:22
the very very narrow issue of
57:25
those guys play your question about
57:27
the
57:28
george friedman the goat mvp
57:30
i mean soup she certainly had a very good
57:32
grasp of the facts and more
57:35
than that the steaks i thought
57:37
the her grasp of what
57:39
it meant even though as a smaller
57:41
issue of the smaller issue for the
57:43
players because it was limited to only
57:45
those three players that for the tour you
57:48
know head the judge granted that
57:50
your emotion and centrally told the players there's
57:52
no recourse the tour has no recourse
57:54
if you want to play in both sides
57:56
that would have been a nuclear bomb for the tour
57:59
the well her her understanding of
58:01
fact and what was at stake was was very
58:03
good to see what i don't want to gloss
58:05
past that because with the timeline in which this
58:07
was brought to her attention and they made the car
58:10
joke to start off the hearing was basically like she
58:12
had this weekend the weekend and rolling
58:14
into tuesday on top of what i would imagine
58:16
a very to be a very full docket and schedule
58:19
as and how i do minute
58:21
you some posts on our message board that was kind of gone through
58:23
the play by play as well how not easy
58:25
it is to get this in front of a federal
58:27
judge and express the emergency
58:29
that was at stake here which is the three poor
58:31
kids might have he able to play the fedexcup
58:34
so in several court in much
58:36
like i mean and steak or two but especially in federal court
58:38
you are not entitled to a hearing on
58:40
anything i'm certain local rules mission
58:42
a civil trial especially in so yes it was
58:45
also distinguish between civil and criminal criminal there
58:48
are , constitutional to process
58:50
concerns are still due process and a simple
58:53
simple well but in federal court
58:55
you often don't get hearings on hearings
58:58
you know you can submit i can summon emotion
59:00
my opponent will submit a response and
59:02
then we might i hear anything for months and then one
59:04
day we get an order in our inbox and that's
59:06
that's what it is a you can always request a
59:08
hearing but they're they're not they're
59:11
given and then more than that
59:13
for the judge to give them a hearing and
59:15
to give them a hearing within several days and then
59:17
to understand that she had to make a decision to
59:19
a day and in in in fact
59:21
she roots in the bench which is also
59:24
quite rare that
59:27
it goes and will get into this but he goes to the
59:29
advocacy the quality the advocacy for
59:31
the planes attorneys your tongue as a judge
59:34
that it is such an emergency that you
59:36
hear what i have to say the
59:39
you tube you have to have a very cogent
59:41
and persuasive argument if you're going to tell
59:43
a judge clear your entire calendar so
59:46
you can hear what i have to tell you and that see
59:48
to make this decision on behalf of these of
59:50
these pointers on and so it
59:52
kind of goes into the plants argument just brilliant not
59:55
being particularly persuasive and the asks not
59:57
being
59:59
which new york
59:59
in and the plaintiffs have
1:00:02
to what what did they have to prove
1:00:04
right i hear irreparable harm
1:00:06
was it was used a lot and i was i get i'm
1:00:08
not a things go but i was for one i
1:00:10
found this entire hearing to be incredibly entertaining
1:00:13
one because i think it was like this the culmination
1:00:15
of pretty much everything we've talked about on the show
1:00:17
for the last two years of watching this
1:00:19
debate happen in real life and
1:00:22
watching the lawyers argue their side and and
1:00:24
things like that but i was surprised
1:00:26
i guess that before the lawyers
1:00:28
had even presented their cases based solely
1:00:30
on those the complaint was filed by the
1:00:33
live attorneys on and a response
1:00:35
was father that he did a tour attorneys as well
1:00:37
that the judge walked in and basically said
1:00:39
like i don't really see irreparable harm here to
1:00:41
start with before even have tried your
1:00:43
case here i the first five minutes
1:00:45
is a lecture it was she just was it's and
1:00:47
i've at the command i guess
1:00:49
i was also just in all of
1:00:53
the command that she had over the case
1:00:55
it had gonna just come to her desk and
1:00:57
her ability to ah ability don't
1:00:59
wanna say pay attention to the whole thing but
1:01:01
to understand the the i
1:01:04
literally every single word that was going on at they
1:01:06
going away demean seven c or seventy here like
1:01:08
bubble blood to be able be run the show she
1:01:10
could have made the case us both case plaintiff
1:01:12
and defense case better than either this attorneys
1:01:15
tested as true i mean it's very
1:01:17
likely that
1:01:18
the judge freeman is either a golfer herself
1:01:20
or she has a golfer on her law clerk
1:01:22
staff whose been following this or someone in
1:01:24
her social circles this
1:01:27
is a big golfer professional golf fan and could
1:01:29
give her some background on this aren't she's also
1:01:31
very smart you know she most federal judges
1:01:34
are she went to harvard law
1:01:36
school and she's probably a very adept
1:01:38
at speed reading at this point she has a
1:01:40
team of law courts and would give her really the
1:01:43
the mean potatoes of what's needed to know that could get
1:01:45
kind of read through the hundred and
1:01:47
six page complaints and the motion for tomorrow
1:01:49
and then the thousand plus pages of exhibits that
1:01:51
were filed with both of those but not the
1:01:53
footnotes by i'm certainly not knowing my
1:01:56
idols says you know i don't read
1:01:58
my oh i know if you are a so so
1:01:59
gibson dunn was on the plaintiffs
1:02:03
right now is the place at one of the likes give
1:02:05
other five firms are better than
1:02:07
dan quinn a manual i know
1:02:09
things are mckenzie told it's a big dick
1:02:11
players and co nord under
1:02:13
beds kind of
1:02:15
what was so quinn a manual is
1:02:17
is known as a litigation powerhouse
1:02:19
but they do therefore serves
1:02:21
always big you know cool cool
1:02:24
big law or whites you law firms they're
1:02:26
all made up of very very good lawyers
1:02:28
very experienced players that are near the partners
1:02:31
that are gonna be the ones that are actually with a getting these cases
1:02:33
i mean the since it's do a lot of legwork
1:02:35
and won the drafting research but it's always gonna
1:02:37
be a partner that's quite
1:02:39
experience and particularly in antitrust law because
1:02:42
it's such a niche practice area and
1:02:45
and it's so there's there's only
1:02:47
really like a handful of big
1:02:49
firms that really
1:02:51
partners qualified enough to to handle these
1:02:53
sorts of but i guess based on like
1:02:55
the people i've talked to like it's
1:02:58
it's shocking all the lawyers are eating out
1:03:00
in like all here's here's my to us his class hearts
1:03:02
and suffering through some alarm come sit
1:03:04
with something through some of that bill haley
1:03:06
i know like give
1:03:08
you are each other like hey like ritual brass
1:03:10
is on the he's on the kind
1:03:13
of the second or third chair for gibson
1:03:15
dunn on this case she's practices
1:03:18
in san francisco she's extremely
1:03:20
well qualified she probably is argued
1:03:22
in front of this judge before and seemingly
1:03:24
the guy that the they had arguing
1:03:27
the case started falling
1:03:29
off two weeks ago and
1:03:31
you don't like a little i thought he was gonna talk
1:03:33
his way into his a the plaintiffs going
1:03:35
to federal prison i don't either but i thought it was
1:03:37
i was a terrible for five other way that
1:03:39
poorly for certainly not something that he and his partners
1:03:42
or or glad was on video it's put it that way
1:03:44
i mean
1:03:45
here
1:03:46
there's a what are you asking a previous questions
1:03:48
all that i can want to back up his organ
1:03:50
the plane to the so
1:03:52
it goes back to what is at stake
1:03:55
in this hearings and rob walters
1:03:57
was the attorney for the point of that was argument he
1:03:59
is not act the in a board california
1:04:01
lawyer he is born in texas in d c
1:04:03
so they actually flew him out to california to
1:04:05
make this arguing which was a little bit surprising
1:04:07
because he said to the judge
1:04:10
i don't yeah not much of a golfer and it's like
1:04:12
yeah we know because you don't think he did
1:04:14
you even of the fedexcup little the one thing
1:04:16
that you are so desperate for your clients
1:04:18
to plan you don't know that it's
1:04:20
three tournaments and not one you
1:04:22
don't you he very obviously mixed up
1:04:24
the arnold palmer invitational and the memorial
1:04:27
by saying the a piazza know how like how
1:04:29
many lawyers play golf and you could you found the want
1:04:32
to assert that one died argue the gulf
1:04:34
days that doesn't play golf i mean it
1:04:36
was it was
1:04:37
it was a little bit surprising on that
1:04:39
front to like to to seem like that was
1:04:41
the weirdest part about the beginning of it was
1:04:44
the the plaintiffs are trying to argue
1:04:46
how like third basically what the tours
1:04:48
than trying to tell us about the said ex cup for the last
1:04:50
sixteen years with your we like you guys
1:04:52
don't understand propose the superbowl and the
1:04:54
kentucky derby and the m b a
1:04:56
finals all rolled into one of this is
1:04:58
as big as a dad's a man so
1:05:01
good too because like the tour or the other
1:05:03
side is is like all judge
1:05:05
like we have no chance look at how many these
1:05:07
big names that such as , happy
1:05:09
with their v of an awfully like that it's
1:05:12
so for easy those to go back
1:05:14
for that each other but such a little bit above persuasive
1:05:16
advocacy because when you are in the judges courtroom
1:05:19
your there is an invited just and
1:05:21
the judge has primarily going to rely
1:05:23
on the written briefings throughout the
1:05:26
entire case doesn't matter what topic is in front
1:05:28
of the judge but not the footnotes footnotes footnotes
1:05:31
yeah so you always have to be
1:05:33
very cognizant that whatever you put
1:05:35
in writing is going to be the most persuasive
1:05:37
things and when you are in court for
1:05:39
a hearing you're there to answer the judges questions
1:05:42
period
1:05:43
the most persuasive advocacy is one a judge
1:05:45
like what happened in this case judge freeman opens
1:05:47
a hearing by saying here's the way i'm
1:05:49
leaning these are the concerns i have
1:05:52
this is what i want you to talk to me about and
1:05:54
then for both and this goes to the tours
1:05:56
where to for going to be like i have a sixty pays
1:05:58
powerpoint slides out
1:05:59
let's go to page forty you it's like what
1:06:02
dot guys the judge
1:06:04
said she was concerned about
1:06:06
you know what's this pick a topic she's
1:06:08
concerned about the group boycott aspect
1:06:11
of antitrust once i saw exactly are
1:06:14
you to get up there and not immediately start answering
1:06:16
those questions her satisfaction because
1:06:18
you want to be so stuck to your notes on
1:06:21
that you can just start talking yourself in circles
1:06:23
and and this the same thing happened to fiji
1:06:25
tours where to elite peters who again
1:06:28
california lawyer the year fears like
1:06:30
very very qualified lawyers who
1:06:33
should know better than to just
1:06:35
get completely stuck to their notes because they don't
1:06:38
have the subject matter expertise in one have the
1:06:41
the the business the inherent business knowledge
1:06:43
about how these connections are made
1:06:46
within the golf landscape to say judge
1:06:49
taylor groups if he doesn't play this week he's
1:06:51
not going to get another chance to play in
1:06:53
the majors and that's what's irreparable don't
1:06:55
focus don't the fact the took office money to put
1:06:57
to not plane the fedex cups because that
1:06:59
is something you can quantify but maybe but
1:07:02
maybe i'm closer to winning argument would
1:07:04
have been if you ever played this week
1:07:06
he may not ever play in another major because
1:07:08
of the way the the bdr works because
1:07:10
of all the other opportunities he's not going to get
1:07:12
and they a domino effect vendors just
1:07:14
strictly monitored correct but because he doesn't
1:07:17
understand because the word and understand how those
1:07:19
connections are made he didn't ever have
1:07:21
a chance of making a persuasive argument on that
1:07:23
front and so you get back to okay
1:07:25
well what am i note say something about jack nicklaus
1:07:28
some about a p i something about the superbowl
1:07:31
or near georgia of the officer
1:07:33
the poor boys are not will play next week not
1:07:35
a persuasive argument so fat
1:07:37
fat forward a little bit obvious of
1:07:40
a
1:07:40
the
1:07:41
were denied or i don't even know which way that
1:07:43
goes they they weren't able to play obviously the not
1:07:45
what would have had what would have happened if they
1:07:47
were able to play as far as the other guys who were
1:07:49
not part of the suit zeb as good as like set
1:07:52
the precedent or is that just strictly
1:07:54
like those three are allowed to play because they want
1:07:56
in court at is how would that work so it would
1:07:58
have been those
1:07:59
three would have been allowed to play this week
1:08:02
but then going forward until the
1:08:05
end of the case that would have
1:08:07
been the law of the case so
1:08:09
the and and so any other players that
1:08:11
were thinking about considering jumping to live would
1:08:13
have been able to do so and then also play
1:08:15
in tour events at least while the tendency of
1:08:17
litigation was going on because the judges
1:08:19
said are essentially i think it
1:08:22
it would be irreparably harmful and will go
1:08:24
back to so you wanna talk about elements
1:08:26
and will get into that but it would be so it would be
1:08:28
so egregiously harmful a
1:08:30
real partners will harm for these players
1:08:32
not be able play in the fedexcup or in
1:08:34
any other pj tour events and
1:08:37
and this case we're going to go on for several years most
1:08:39
likely and so it would have been
1:08:41
a nuclear bomb on the tour and
1:08:43
i think that the judge understood that
1:08:46
i'm not saying that see kind of
1:08:48
back toward her decision making but i think she
1:08:50
was approaching it from the from the place of
1:08:53
the worst outcome for these would against without
1:08:55
even getting a toward the tours actual
1:08:57
response lawsuit yet rights they only
1:08:59
responded to the motion for temporary soon more
1:09:01
they have a certain are turned twenty one days sixty
1:09:04
they accept service to respond to the complaint
1:09:06
itself they'll
1:09:08
probably do by motion to dismiss and
1:09:11
the judge was very clear she was not going
1:09:13
to get into the me of the anti
1:09:15
trust issues which she thinks me
1:09:17
be a close call so
1:09:20
for her to rule in this way to say you
1:09:23
know for know we're just going to keep the status
1:09:25
quo the way it is was
1:09:28
kind of i think where she was approaching it from and then
1:09:30
reverse engineering the legal argument to
1:09:32
get there
1:09:33
i don't know if i realized the guess the stakes
1:09:35
in terms of how
1:09:37
much downstream much downstream this ruling would have had
1:09:39
i guess i kinda thought this was about
1:09:41
the three guys playing the playoffs and that if anybody
1:09:44
else want to play anything else they would have had
1:09:46
to sue on different grounds
1:09:48
in a different
1:09:49
way but you're saying that if if this would have
1:09:51
passed the precedent if you
1:09:53
will it's probably not the right right well guy would
1:09:55
have allowed either pave
1:09:58
the way for everyone else to play whatever event they
1:10:00
would have wanted or you would have seen a lot
1:10:02
more players joining live and
1:10:04
then move the out either filing similar
1:10:06
lawsuits or moving for
1:10:08
leave of court to add themselves as loss
1:10:11
as or litigants to the lawsuit on
1:10:13
the the players that resigned the
1:10:15
not have the same argument because they gave
1:10:18
the gave up their membership but a player like came smith could
1:10:20
look at that and say well as long
1:10:22
as a lawsuit going on i'm
1:10:24
in be able to play both so i'll
1:10:26
just throw my name of ya move leaves a
1:10:29
the join isn't as an intervenor
1:10:31
able to get technically been intervene or but as
1:10:34
another plaintiff in the lawsuit
1:10:35
in order to preserve his rights do the same
1:10:37
thing quick update zaki bobby just one
1:10:39
eleven and nine hell has such just
1:10:42
couldn't decide avila that's unbelievable
1:10:45
i , pissed when the job your sarcasm
1:10:47
strays yeah they were they were fired
1:10:50
shots offered zone dear john deere
1:10:52
that the be of i read nelson with
1:10:54
more power to even shit oliver kraeger
1:10:56
as i think the of yeah
1:10:59
like like it was it was also cutters
1:11:03
impressed upon me i'm like oh shit this is like
1:11:05
very very immediate
1:11:08
effect the like when when i heard hudson
1:11:11
swofford and it
1:11:13
was it that has heard until goods are like
1:11:15
down the street like waited us waiting
1:11:18
from iran memphis yeah and it's like
1:11:20
do like they were going to the ring of tuesday they are going
1:11:22
to show up and like
1:11:24
the raging you're practice like an nine have rights
1:11:26
lubin i mean it's a be easier to
1:11:28
armchair this and say that you know there
1:11:30
was the the puget or
1:11:32
players have a pretty good argument and they might
1:11:34
on some of these issues but
1:11:36
we also includes very very difficult to get
1:11:39
a temporary restraining order it's it's
1:11:41
a
1:11:42
what's called extraordinary relief i mean the
1:11:44
judges approach it from the position of
1:11:46
you're not going to get this unless you can prove
1:11:49
that you have an injury
1:11:51
that cannot be compensated by money
1:11:53
period injunctive relief
1:11:55
is there's is there's relief
1:11:57
which is money damages and then there's equitable really
1:12:00
and as an equitable relief meaning that you
1:12:02
have to show that money cannot compensate you
1:12:05
if you lose arm
1:12:07
or i'm sorry if you win and
1:12:09
so the reason why it you
1:12:11
know sheath the judge gonna came in guns
1:12:13
blazing i'm against of
1:12:15
the plan was to say the you know i think that you have serious
1:12:17
concerns with your downstream case and
1:12:20
i and i have to look at those issues to make to make
1:12:23
today so i want to hear about
1:12:25
how you're going to overcome those issues and
1:12:27
we just never really got while the arguments
1:12:29
in the plans about that i'm and
1:12:31
in the other thing is the plainest bears the burden
1:12:33
of persuasion said what that means is the
1:12:35
point of has to prove their case the defendant
1:12:38
does not have to disprove the plaintiffs case
1:12:40
they have to poke holes in it if they think that the
1:12:42
planes cases really good and that they the
1:12:45
force we made their case but the most persuasive
1:12:47
thing the tour lawyers get a don't have it could
1:12:49
have to basically stood up and said well
1:12:52
to himself i recognized where's
1:12:55
foiling around doesn't know anything about this
1:12:57
makes three or four good rebuttal points directly
1:13:00
address some of the judges questions the other side
1:13:02
with what you want to get in and then sit
1:13:04
down and don't say anything more because the longer you
1:13:06
talk the more you're going to invite questions
1:13:08
from the judge which really almost got
1:13:10
the tour lawyers in trouble with the timeliness
1:13:13
issue and and the suspensions issue
1:13:15
take me to worthless as go back to the
1:13:17
the plane as for now what is what's the most
1:13:20
compelling argument that they made
1:13:22
gear and on of that's a good mood fridge way
1:13:24
into saying
1:13:26
what is what is at
1:13:28
what what is the deciding factor here what what caused
1:13:30
the decision to end up being when
1:13:32
it was as by two different questions both
1:13:34
so the journal
1:13:36
the most compelling argument was really
1:13:38
kind of made but the judge but
1:13:40
it was the tour was inconsistent
1:13:43
with how it applied it's own bylaws in
1:13:45
order to arrive at a suspension
1:13:48
for this the three players that were that yarrow
1:13:50
plants mean basically tor
1:13:52
used to parallel
1:13:54
mechanisms and it's bylaws in order
1:13:57
to affectionately suspensions and
1:13:59
the
1:13:59
these are saying the judge was kind of agreeing with them that
1:14:02
the tour was not very clear and how
1:14:04
it communicated how was applying the laws
1:14:06
to tailor gooch in particular and
1:14:09
that taylor was taylor
1:14:11
understood the
1:14:14
suspension mechanism any appeal process critically
1:14:16
the appeal process to to be one thing
1:14:18
where they peel would essentially stay or
1:14:20
invalidate the suspension until
1:14:23
the actual appeal was heard and decided
1:14:26
and the pg torso no torso no no
1:14:28
used one section to punish you
1:14:30
for essentially conduct unbecoming
1:14:32
and another section to punish you by putting you on probation
1:14:35
for being a repeat offender of the rules by
1:14:37
constantly playing in these events without
1:14:39
releases and under that
1:14:41
ladder section there is no appeal
1:14:43
of the suspension or there the
1:14:46
bill bryson there's no stay of the appeal
1:14:48
of the suspension and that's why you can't play
1:14:50
this week and
1:14:52
the really that was kind of the most compelling argument
1:14:54
that was made arm and the
1:14:56
judge seem like the tour lawyer have struggled
1:14:59
to get that point across the it lost
1:15:01
me in that part and i'm of com current rig
1:15:03
i say or do you have spun a web that
1:15:05
i'm very confused and now the point
1:15:07
was made much clearer in the brief which
1:15:10
goes back to say about the brief being the more
1:15:12
persuasive arguments and the longer the tour
1:15:14
lawyer ellie peter stood there and talked the more
1:15:16
he invited these questions yet rights like
1:15:19
you can't stand up and and and this was a
1:15:21
nosing into the judge said what i'm really concerned
1:15:23
about i can't exactly remember what the issue
1:15:25
was it was one of the minor antitrust issues
1:15:27
more more minor antitrust issues and
1:15:29
is owed whole judge i'm going to get
1:15:31
there i believe me i can't wait to talk about that
1:15:33
but slippery don't want to talking about about yeah
1:15:36
just like the judges asked his tell you this
1:15:38
is the thing i care about don't grandstand
1:15:40
yeah and you're standing here because your your
1:15:42
client is sitting at the table paying you
1:15:44
an awful lot of money to be here and
1:15:47
you want to give them a show i understand
1:15:49
that that's the case but the more persuasive fc
1:15:51
is always just to answer the question that
1:15:53
asked immediately and then stop
1:15:55
hawking
1:15:57
when you're winning the only thing you can
1:15:59
gain by talk the is more questions that
1:16:01
are going to poke holes in your own arguments your
1:16:03
he won before he walked in that day and
1:16:06
it didn't get any better for the plaintiffs while
1:16:08
he was he was sitting there kind of like man
1:16:10
spreading you know i use denying weight
1:16:12
is often enough is a lot of visual
1:16:14
like students during federal fucking
1:16:16
court like sit there with your hands class
1:16:19
with you at your desk and pay attention yeah
1:16:21
means whatever will have on the backend
1:16:23
those because there's you
1:16:25
know like because they didn't get this
1:16:27
this trl
1:16:29
that are the civil case on the back end these
1:16:32
guys are a party to does is create
1:16:35
liability for the tour like on the
1:16:37
backend to where monetary
1:16:40
damages to were goojje jones
1:16:43
these guys the fact that they didn't get into this event
1:16:45
that how the clock is ticking now
1:16:48
and like they can kind of
1:16:50
the whole up these these fines
1:16:53
or these you know these lot lost wages
1:16:55
potentially i mean it's it's a fine line for the
1:16:57
point of to tread because they also
1:17:00
that the judge denied the temporary restraining
1:17:02
order without prejudice to seek a preliminary
1:17:04
injunction which is another it's
1:17:06
essentially a a temporary restraining order
1:17:09
but with more facts and evidence
1:17:11
it's it's an it's it's still injunctive relief and
1:17:14
the elements are very very similar and you still
1:17:16
have to prove that you have no adequate remedy
1:17:18
adequate law ak money damages so
1:17:22
in order to obtain injunctive
1:17:24
relief down the road to have to kind of tread a fine line
1:17:26
between what they believe they can
1:17:28
be compensated for what they don't i
1:17:31
mean this case you know ultimately will
1:17:33
probably come down to a
1:17:35
definitely will come down to whether the anti
1:17:37
trust your ,
1:17:40
as far as like a group boycotted the you talked about
1:17:42
that with will or will last week i mean that's
1:17:44
probably like the tour or the the
1:17:47
live plants best argument under
1:17:49
the sherman antitrust act which can i normally antitrust
1:17:51
law can't emphasize enough and to clarify
1:17:53
just a small we just heard it sounded like the
1:17:55
judge was like
1:17:57
like put a bookmark on that like i'm rate
1:17:59
how that com
1:17:59
there's want to get to we're not going talk about this today
1:18:02
but like select less love of
1:18:04
of yeah that seems like a there might be something
1:18:06
there was
1:18:07
will discuss that in the future because i can take a lot
1:18:09
longer it it will in a provides and
1:18:11
so the using about the the end of the
1:18:14
hearing which i did not get to watch i believe to
1:18:16
pick my daughter ups i was kind of following through
1:18:19
on that later but i think she made the
1:18:21
point
1:18:22
the you
1:18:24
you the parties can either try to litigate
1:18:27
this case or fast track within like a year
1:18:29
or going to be to plus years before this gets
1:18:31
a trial and ordinarily
1:18:34
on the plane if one wants to get the case to trial
1:18:36
as fast as possible or in almost every circumstance
1:18:39
but in this case after this ruling they probably
1:18:41
don't and it's kind of reversed and so
1:18:43
what i thought might happen is that tore
1:18:45
would file a motion to dismiss which they probably still
1:18:47
will do in response the actual
1:18:50
complaints but it's an interesting strategic
1:18:52
thought process because they could you say you know what
1:18:55
we don't want dragons only longer we have a judge's
1:18:57
on our side and the sooner we answer
1:18:59
the complaint sooner we provide a response it's not
1:19:01
moving to get rid of it the sooner we
1:19:03
can start discovery the sooner we can start this case management
1:19:05
deadlines and was fast track to sing trial
1:19:08
and also makes a lot harder for
1:19:10
the plaintiffs to voluntarily dismiss the
1:19:12
case and go form shop elsewhere so that
1:19:14
the dwarves guy an interesting strategic your
1:19:16
analysis to go through as like that's was asked
1:19:19
about a white why the
1:19:21
northern california is that just somewhere
1:19:23
that has been done in historically
1:19:26
friendly to anti trusts or or
1:19:28
well it
1:19:29
it's an interesting place to be because there is a lot
1:19:31
of interest litigation goes on there to the south on
1:19:33
our yes but i'm a and
1:19:35
it's also you would think are typically
1:19:38
more liberal judges of which judge freeman
1:19:40
is an obama appointee and thus as on to say
1:19:42
that she's keep your politic not
1:19:44
about i am sport as
1:19:47
seat you know seems
1:19:49
the she personally has actually made some some
1:19:52
antitrust rulings that would have been kind of more
1:19:54
make your favor of google or something about
1:19:56
one but you know i would've thought that there were been
1:19:58
a few the places that might
1:20:01
have made a lot of sense going to sir california would be one
1:20:03
a southern district of new york where new york
1:20:05
city is would then it would have been another the district
1:20:07
of delaware which one of dozens
1:20:10
litigation happens there and yeah
1:20:12
maybe like the decision
1:20:15
just or colombia where you have like very
1:20:17
know can i fling federal judges that are well
1:20:19
versed in federal law especially that
1:20:21
trust also known discover any kind of
1:20:23
made sense i saw of using a why these
1:20:26
two year the tour in florida well because
1:20:28
they would get home field it is most likely
1:20:30
in the middle does your for plus there's not a lot and i trust
1:20:32
litigation the goes on in jacksonville or
1:20:34
tampa orlando so it's not exactly like
1:20:36
a place where you're going to be likely to drop
1:20:38
a a good judge has have that much of a grassley
1:20:41
as on that front like what's the so
1:20:43
what stairs
1:20:44
we you time i like venue shopping
1:20:46
you're talking about what would need to happen
1:20:48
with they need to come with a different
1:20:50
lat like a different class of guys that have a class
1:20:52
of plaintiffs with the same issue
1:20:54
or you don't like space we dismiss
1:20:57
it in that case and then help you know
1:20:59
how is this is this judge freeman's case
1:21:01
until further notice right
1:21:03
a
1:21:04
that's because it seems like a felt
1:21:06
like that was a bad draw for them right it's
1:21:08
it's her case and less the point of dismiss
1:21:11
it voluntarily and then they can refile anywhere
1:21:13
else so there's under several subset
1:21:15
of so procedural forty one you can the
1:21:17
players can dismiss it
1:21:19
and it doesn't operate as
1:21:21
what's called an adjudication on the merits as long
1:21:23
as they do so before and
1:21:25
answers filed essentially thurs know
1:21:27
there's no precedent and set at
1:21:29
all it's is the is this is whites are completely off
1:21:31
the fleet other than what people would you
1:21:34
know any other like pre determined
1:21:36
or thoughts are by sees the any judge
1:21:38
would have knowing what this case about but it but in
1:21:40
effect know it would it would be
1:21:42
as be as a clean slate and then the other thing
1:21:45
that to discouraged this you know they say
1:21:47
i'm before the point of can proceeded
1:21:50
with a different case they have to pay the attorney's
1:21:52
fees for the other side which for a lot
1:21:54
of would kids would be
1:21:56
the essentially impossible to
1:21:58
pay you know for hundreds the dollars
1:22:00
thirty years
1:22:02
findings gave us a reason
1:22:04
there's no to learn to type there
1:22:06
that's crazy like reading about these law firms like
1:22:09
the again no harper
1:22:11
or that one
1:22:13
at that elliot the checker venice
1:22:16
and ps like he only he was he was
1:22:18
lance armstrong's attorney like the
1:22:20
corner manual like they're there
1:22:22
basically you on mosques attorneys
1:22:24
are they after twitter very serious law firms
1:22:27
affairs here is very smart lawyers arm
1:22:29
who absolutely know what they're doing which
1:22:31
is again why want to preface this by saying that my critics
1:22:33
are of the has some that i saw not
1:22:36
of their capabilities as lawyers because the
1:22:38
drafting is incredible and these cases
1:22:40
it's the drafting is actually quite persuasive for both
1:22:42
sides but it to me was this
1:22:45
is again not to speak to the larger antitrust
1:22:47
case antitrust is coming down the down the road
1:22:50
it just felt like what issue that lawyer
1:22:52
start talking to lives as lives do they are that's are pretty
1:22:54
damn we case right case right is pretty easy
1:22:56
for the tor to say like that they they
1:22:59
like straight up took all this extra money
1:23:01
they'd they'd the extra money that they were paid
1:23:03
to go to live with the help offset
1:23:05
knowing that they were gonna not be able to play
1:23:07
in this again just felt like a lot
1:23:09
of the live boasting that has gone on
1:23:11
to this point and lot of what has happened
1:23:14
in the success of being able to recruit
1:23:16
all these players made it pretty easy
1:23:18
to shut down like this hardship case
1:23:20
they're trying to drive of all these three poor
1:23:22
boys are get desert the lawyers words
1:23:25
or what i keep say that we don't know that he
1:23:27
said these three poor kids will
1:23:29
be able to play in the fed ex cup playoffs
1:23:31
and it just felt like man it was just kind
1:23:34
of walk through a door for the towards are also an
1:23:36
art thou like the ill at that point with
1:23:38
with the money is like idea there was harm
1:23:41
the money made up for insider up for a
1:23:43
full of well i think but i think they could
1:23:45
have made a better point of like
1:23:47
this in the majors or what this is all about
1:23:49
and this is our last chance to get into him for
1:23:51
next year like that's it is it right here
1:23:54
and you can't replace that with money and that's where
1:23:56
you're saying they spawn this whole web and didn't
1:23:58
focus in on the meat see
1:24:00
of like the if we don't play these we're not going
1:24:02
beyond play in the majors next year yeah that's exactly
1:24:04
right i mean it's it really comes down to being
1:24:06
able to tell
1:24:08
the persuasive story and you
1:24:10
know being able to connect all those dots
1:24:12
witches you know if
1:24:15
if you can if you have to do if you're the point if that's the
1:24:17
one thing you have to do is have a firm
1:24:19
grasp of what's at stake and it never
1:24:21
really felt like what was at stake was
1:24:24
, emergency or with
1:24:26
a real emergency and when you're there
1:24:28
and for the judge saying i'm here because this is an emergency
1:24:30
but i can even tell you like how many tournaments
1:24:33
i wanted to be or plants it
1:24:35
just it it just flat what also
1:24:37
are not front to let's see ah
1:24:42
like why did nicholson file separately
1:24:45
separate a to is a subtle everywhere oh guess
1:24:48
and know could try to sell your personal relations
1:24:50
i question your own i mean i am that's the only
1:24:52
way that we all like elizabeth site was there
1:24:54
a reason why these guys filed
1:24:58
your partner off like a personal lawsuit
1:25:00
versus having live like it is that
1:25:02
creating more flexibility for live down
1:25:04
the line
1:25:05
i don't know dot the lives
1:25:07
live aspect is interesting because i
1:25:10
think bardwell me this point really well it's
1:25:13
it's an op it might be optics problem for live
1:25:15
of the optics for the plans already are not great
1:25:17
because they're like these aggrieved multimillionaires
1:25:20
who are agreed because they took
1:25:22
millions and millions more dollars and now they're upset
1:25:24
that they can't win millions and millions more am
1:25:27
for live i mean it's source
1:25:29
of the money and move you know the backing of
1:25:31
the saudi government of the almost what's worse
1:25:34
potentially are you know live
1:25:36
against a
1:25:38
the american institution for
1:25:40
lack of me as really what is it or is
1:25:42
this is kind of what it comes down to a scan american non
1:25:44
profit every plate exact phrasing
1:25:47
billions of dot i get it again that
1:25:49
it's not necessarily this rosie
1:25:51
but like in court with are going to make their generally pretty heavy
1:25:53
on like we're we're raising billions of dollars have
1:25:56
been on for charities on behalf of these like
1:25:58
and with the backs of these by and to get back to what
1:25:59
using like let's not make the sound like this
1:26:02
was a a great day overall for
1:26:04
the pj torque is it really wasn't so they
1:26:06
can up and down for par i'm the first whole lot
1:26:08
of exact and i i business on this board the
1:26:11
tor does not want to be in a lawsuit with these the
1:26:13
oh okay like they know that they had to know
1:26:15
that this was coming but it's not like they
1:26:17
want to spend a bunch of money on this is no less
1:26:19
coverage is older ones you discovery it's not
1:26:21
like they want this to be a distraction is
1:26:23
alec they want people to be talking about it and it's also
1:26:25
not like they wanted their their lawyer to stand up
1:26:27
and say looks or five top players
1:26:29
the tip of now gone to our competitors like
1:26:32
that's not a good look for you no matter what the
1:26:34
cases and it or to help us win this case but i
1:26:36
it's like ultimately it still looks really
1:26:38
really bad a house on fire little bit
1:26:40
over here which i think my my favorite moment of it
1:26:42
the day might have been the judge seeing
1:26:45
that and then can equipping like a
1:26:48
couple , years maybe you guys could sue them for a to justice
1:26:50
than i was less eliminate ultimately
1:26:52
okay cool either get a pretty clear where
1:26:54
this that is go to the and the reaction of
1:26:57
the action of really peters is to that was exactly
1:26:59
like the selina meyer just some
1:27:01
deeper it's like nervously laughing like wasn't what i
1:27:03
saw exactly
1:27:05
ah on that note though i
1:27:08
think said the one thing the one we've
1:27:10
heard from a bunch of lawyers in and
1:27:12
very
1:27:14
very smart people is a they
1:27:16
probably don't want to go to trial this is
1:27:18
you know i think bardwell with kept saying this last
1:27:20
week i they want to settle they want to settle
1:27:23
they want to settle they want to settle they
1:27:25
would i can't really like wrap my head around his wife
1:27:27
what a settlement even look like this
1:27:29
or me like wet what is this the
1:27:32
common ground or what what can they actually likes
1:27:35
figure out because it just seems like of the
1:27:37
tour gives up an inch or gets kind
1:27:39
of over
1:27:40
kira i don't really know if you
1:27:42
guys have anything that even
1:27:44
add to that but as it's just a day that
1:27:46
kept going through my head all week i mean that the settlement
1:27:49
ninety nine percent of litigation cases is
1:27:52
and it pays the point of the
1:27:54
make a go away i mean whether they do
1:27:56
it because they have actual liability or
1:27:58
because actually doing the wrong whether they do it as business
1:28:01
decisions they pay a bunch of money
1:28:03
and or or know mon emulate who
1:28:05
knows how it shakes out but but ultimately
1:28:07
most of these things are settled and
1:28:10
in this case there's no amount of money that the
1:28:13
that can mix but the no matter
1:28:15
no matter how much money that is you tore can spend
1:28:18
our to try to settle the case it pales in
1:28:20
comparison to what is already on the table
1:28:22
for these guys so a settlements going
1:28:24
to have to be if it is to occur
1:28:27
some sort of some
1:28:30
sort of coexistence where you know they
1:28:32
play on off weeks and the guys could go back and forth
1:28:34
with the guys can play a certain number of live events but then
1:28:36
not play in the patriots were playoffs or whatever the case
1:28:38
may be m and to dj point
1:28:40
that's the untenable for the
1:28:42
tour out because the
1:28:46
tours gonna then loses its best
1:28:48
fields in on on these weeks where
1:28:50
it has tournaments that it
1:28:52
hosting home and would you must plan on and the valley
1:28:54
just he can't stress enough how much of the value
1:28:56
of the pj tourists drive from the collective
1:28:59
bargaining rights saw meteorite it's all is
1:29:01
everything and in media rights can can be
1:29:03
confusing thing for a lot of people that it
1:29:05
it sounds like an f t's but
1:29:07
it's your it's your ability to play
1:29:09
professional is by it's you're playing golf
1:29:11
on television or on some kind of network
1:29:14
for entertainment value and like it's phil
1:29:16
mickelson for the last howard many years could
1:29:18
have played on his own tor he could have made
1:29:20
his own exhibition series and he could
1:29:22
have made a lot of money doing it but the idea
1:29:25
a key got famous on on on free
1:29:27
riding if you will with i'm surprised legal
1:29:30
term i'm very the i thought that was very their
1:29:32
ad libs gotta say ignorance a thing and
1:29:34
, key godly know he's competed with him as
1:29:36
ecosystem for a very long period of time and gotten
1:29:39
a lot of notoriety notoriety
1:29:41
that and it's it's just what makes
1:29:43
it very complicated now one of the things
1:29:45
that the judge said that i
1:29:48
think that the larger discussion here
1:29:50
the still like what is to com and what kind of ground
1:29:52
the puget or stands on from a stands
1:29:54
an antitrust perspective but one thing
1:29:56
she said was significant evidence that live
1:29:58
has not been pro the from entering the market
1:30:01
ah , not a lawyer here
1:30:03
but that felt like a pretty significant
1:30:06
statement in terms of and
1:30:09
i guess amount of i'll ask the question long lines of
1:30:11
have asked you to help me understand what
1:30:14
is anti competitive behavior and what is competitive
1:30:16
behavior at what point is live like a
1:30:18
competitor like a the puget or needs to beat
1:30:21
and what makes their actions legal
1:30:23
verse puts make their actions potentially not
1:30:25
legal
1:30:26
so
1:30:29
in in in an antitrust case that breaking
1:30:31
into the market is often
1:30:34
what what turns
1:30:36
the case right like if if a the
1:30:38
point of if it if a competitor can actually
1:30:41
gain market share through its own
1:30:43
efforts regardless of of those
1:30:45
those efforts are just spending so much money
1:30:47
that it has like nobody has a choice
1:30:49
but to pay attention to it then my
1:30:53
limited understanding of anti trust laws that that
1:30:55
is very very unlikely
1:30:57
that the other party is that the defendant
1:30:59
the torrents cases exerting monopoly
1:31:01
power over the marketplace it
1:31:04
may have the largest or the only market
1:31:06
share and it may do things that pretends
1:31:10
to have a legitimate business business justification
1:31:12
for those things are ineffective at
1:31:14
actually preventing the competitor from entering the space
1:31:16
and taking that market share then it
1:31:18
goes strongly we strongly against are
1:31:21
being an actual anti trust the bible
1:31:23
anti trust coin
1:31:24
wouldn't be also like with doesn't approve
1:31:27
the the that like the torah raising their
1:31:30
vs
1:31:31
they had a true monopoly on things they wouldn't have
1:31:33
to do that
1:31:35
it
1:31:36
and that's where i wade into this this
1:31:38
category of like i i i know what i'm
1:31:41
rooting for in this case in am i trying to see
1:31:43
things through the rosie glasses of i'd i'd
1:31:45
i want i will i think
1:31:47
i want the puget or to be able to say to these guys
1:31:49
you cannot play on the store anymore right because they all comes
1:31:52
crumbling down the whole model comes
1:31:54
coming out of that's not the case now they've
1:31:56
not in even if their acts are
1:31:59
anti compare
1:31:59
they've they've not been able to prevent guys to going to leave
1:32:02
and working for the other employer the whole thing
1:32:04
is like you just can't do both sense
1:32:06
so here's here's the the elements for
1:32:08
a as a section to claim
1:32:11
for attempted monopolization under the sherman antitrust
1:32:13
act once for the defendant has engaged in
1:32:15
predatory or anti competitive conduct
1:32:18
with to a specific intent
1:32:20
to monopolize and three a dangerous
1:32:22
probability of achieving monopoly powers
1:32:24
it's that third element that there's
1:32:27
probably going to be the breaking point
1:32:29
for this case one way or another because if
1:32:31
no matter what anti competitive conduct
1:32:33
the tour puts forth live continues
1:32:36
taking market share it just shows that
1:32:38
even as a tour intended to be a monopoly
1:32:40
intended to exert it's monetary l it
1:32:42
doesn't get there because they they don't
1:32:44
actually prevent the competitor from entering space
1:32:47
i'm sure my nonexistent twitter
1:32:49
will get blown up with anti trust lawyers
1:32:51
after that and but i think that's what
1:32:53
it is i think it's it's more that it
1:32:55
doesn't even the tour intends
1:32:58
to act like monopoly if it doesn't actually prevent
1:33:01
the conundrum wearing a spaceman it's not actually
1:33:03
mop what i think some of it comes out of
1:33:05
like the tourism and nop
1:33:07
sunny which is the market
1:33:09
situation where there's only a buyer a babysitter
1:33:12
a buyer of labor there are seller of labor
1:33:14
and they're the only buyer united
1:33:16
states but
1:33:18
the think that
1:33:19
the movie be ends justify the means right
1:33:22
where the ends are that there's this
1:33:24
market that wouldn't otherwise exist for
1:33:26
these guys meteorite that is worth
1:33:29
billions and billions of dollars ah
1:33:31
for the you know the william were gertz
1:33:33
and the tyler dungeons and all those
1:33:35
guys were making for more money than
1:33:38
they would otherwise sort benefiting
1:33:40
i'm a bit like a a wider
1:33:43
birth of these guys be it's it's
1:33:45
probably hurting some of the top players
1:33:49
that's the reality and
1:33:51
they're getting their through maybe
1:33:53
some you know handsome
1:33:55
monopolistic tendencies
1:33:58
or actions here the and
1:34:00
to justify the means i guess
1:34:02
i think you could see it like that
1:34:05
yeah the i
1:34:08
can't believe this believe this out the level was
1:34:10
for having this conversation by think it's
1:34:12
interest in talking with you this week to adjust
1:34:14
was i thought it was very very very important have
1:34:17
someone on it was able to digest everything
1:34:19
that just happened this week and the
1:34:21
end you know i guess what what else what
1:34:23
else stuck out you from this case that did not was
1:34:25
you know important north kind of signified
1:34:28
what was potentially may be going to happen
1:34:30
down the road yeah so that's when the questions
1:34:32
that was the chemical on message boards just
1:34:35
what does this case look like you know
1:34:37
six months from now twelve months from now i mean it
1:34:39
goes back to whether the tour decides
1:34:42
to be aggressive and it's defense
1:34:44
and i'm in this case being
1:34:46
aggressive in its defenses filing an answer
1:34:48
and trying to push this thing as fast as possible because
1:34:50
i'm a judge that they think is it
1:34:52
sympathetic to their point of view or at least
1:34:55
that they could win over and
1:34:58
if that's the case you know federal even
1:35:00
in federal court though the judges
1:35:02
our lives to extend deadlines and
1:35:04
to continue trials but it does happen
1:35:07
you know if the if a live point us keep
1:35:09
us going i don't think that there's any chance of this
1:35:11
gets result in the next eighteen months it's
1:35:13
probably not get results in the next two to three
1:35:16
years which seems like a great thing for the puget
1:35:18
or because a i mean even
1:35:20
if it get look they get solved a year from
1:35:22
now a year where these guys can't
1:35:24
play know deputies are events like they're
1:35:26
going to take in the rankings nearby that's
1:35:28
not exist had exemptions in the majors gonna be gone
1:35:30
at a major and they won't even have to rely on
1:35:32
the majors to make up any other rules and
1:35:34
that's the their ways i feel that live is waiting
1:35:36
to be able to include the majors into
1:35:38
this the cabal of of
1:35:40
you know anti competitive behavior but
1:35:42
like if they needed just wait it out until
1:35:44
then they won't even need that it
1:35:47
seems like to me into other things there to it's
1:35:49
like this
1:35:50
it's gonna give the toward even more time to get their
1:35:52
house in order source schedule
1:35:54
wise taking care of top players
1:35:57
other you know like to do that
1:35:59
anymore pacman things to get stuff approved
1:36:01
to get the structure changed a little bit
1:36:04
a they'd be i think there's
1:36:06
just the the this the semblance
1:36:08
to have like read
1:36:10
ridley and augusta national or getting dragged
1:36:12
into this there's other like that like she's gonna
1:36:14
get to post is this thing keeps going
1:36:17
like one's gonna get the posts like these
1:36:19
guys don't want to hop in front
1:36:21
of a federal court and court and
1:36:24
about this stuff like it's getting into their business
1:36:26
or friend fred what fred ridley runs
1:36:28
in the same circles as all these other big law firms usually
1:36:30
by outlawing lardner which is another you
1:36:32
a national off a and so i think that's where
1:36:34
like you start fucking around with augusta national
1:36:37
id like that they're going to turret like
1:36:39
they're going to be even more hostile towards
1:36:41
lived in a than they already have been
1:36:44
if you start messing around with their business
1:36:46
and all that that's just how shit works right
1:36:49
yeah i mean that there's the
1:36:51
the legal reality the practical reality in the practical
1:36:53
realities are going to move a lot faster as than
1:36:55
the legal realities just because of the
1:36:59
litigation being a very slow turning
1:37:01
machine what do you think of the views
1:37:03
that the justice department is potentially investigating
1:37:06
the tour for the summer stock do
1:37:08
you put into that
1:37:10
i i don't know what to what level
1:37:13
of credence to give and i mean it sounds like
1:37:16
there there's there's a difference between
1:37:18
like an inquiry like essentially sending a letter saying
1:37:21
hey we're keeping tabs open tabs on this or
1:37:23
to new ah you know basically
1:37:25
as as a shot across the bow because
1:37:29
ordinarily if the justice department's building
1:37:31
department's case in less they are
1:37:33
telling you they they don't reach
1:37:35
out to they person there are the organization they're building the
1:37:37
case against unless they're like very very
1:37:39
close to the end of it and they're giving use like the one
1:37:41
chance to queen
1:37:43
or set the record straight or produce documents
1:37:45
that smear stutter this you know if there's
1:37:48
com is there's been conversations range a monaghan
1:37:50
justice department i would say that it's either not a big
1:37:52
deal or it's not very far along at
1:37:54
all but i again on
1:37:56
for that for somebody trying to get it out there showing
1:37:59
that the justice
1:38:01
you know what hey like you're sticking up for live
1:38:03
instead of said the picture tortoise american
1:38:05
institution with why would you
1:38:07
i mean around that's a bold blade says
1:38:09
it's nice to look in the face of the justice
1:38:11
department and and and and
1:38:13
like and hungry you know
1:38:15
e g or system a g trying to get antitrust
1:38:17
stuff done ah what's
1:38:20
the like it suits you like busy times at
1:38:22
the just apartments different for his worth like
1:38:24
a soldier lot your thoughts on had to put
1:38:26
us up to have also like an what an the
1:38:29
espionage act funny because i'm to leave us
1:38:31
when it does the tour ah
1:38:34
like like what would you have pulled the tour
1:38:36
of their you
1:38:38
six months ago twelve months ago eighteen months
1:38:40
ago like what's the risk that there's what
1:38:43
do we have to do his first protecting text
1:38:45
messages or emails are producing
1:38:48
the documentation
1:38:50
communications and they're gonna come out yet
1:38:52
out the fact that the torpedoes tons of money that
1:38:54
gonna come out in emphysema slavery and
1:38:56
, out every again like as other getting
1:38:58
notices legal advice history of
1:39:01
i mean there's there's deftly would serve
1:39:04
the torso been put on what's called a litigation holden
1:39:06
i'm sure they were sent a demand letter a long
1:39:08
time ago that says you know essentially
1:39:10
old your electronically store information including but
1:39:12
not wanna do these following thirty laundry
1:39:15
list of items lack of she
1:39:17
all of it as it as all your archiving suspend
1:39:19
all your deletion like that's or thing and some of
1:39:21
versed in practice i mean you get into
1:39:24
the cops boyish of evidence if you that
1:39:27
rid of things or magically lose things
1:39:29
you're supposed to have that irrelevant and ordinarily
1:39:31
what comes out of that is if years i can prove
1:39:33
that you dislike of destruction and a can
1:39:35
be well it's obstruction of it's criminal matter and
1:39:37
a civil matter you get an adverse in france against
1:39:40
you that they can tell the jury
1:39:42
they don't have these documents at least absolutely
1:39:44
should have that we say say these things are you can
1:39:47
believe those documents existed at one time
1:39:49
and they say exactly what we are telling you
1:39:51
they say it's arm but you gotta go through like
1:39:53
a lot of legal mechanism to get the point where you can actually
1:39:55
say that to ensure
1:39:57
we we've that we kind of summarize a lot of stuff
1:40:00
of the courses plus i let a couple things from
1:40:02
the actual decision that i thought we're we're
1:40:04
we're noteworthy it evidence yes these
1:40:06
as came from the from judge freeman said the plaintiffs
1:40:08
own expert indicated the puget where members
1:40:11
that have already elected to participate in live gov
1:40:13
events required large upfront payments
1:40:15
at least in part because they're calculus included
1:40:18
the loss of opportunities to earn ranking
1:40:20
points and to earned entry into
1:40:22
majors that's where the case turn
1:40:24
i mean that's where this does not the case that's where this
1:40:26
motion decision turned there was an exchange
1:40:28
between
1:40:30
the judge and a lawyer for the plants
1:40:32
the basically said what why didn't they just wait
1:40:34
till the end of the year and the were very
1:40:36
candidly the worst possible
1:40:38
way you can fraser said because they would have for dawn
1:40:40
and opportunity to maximize their market value
1:40:43
like that's the point they
1:40:45
are being paid a ton of money
1:40:47
now so that they would for go
1:40:49
the money that's being handed out of the end of the fed
1:40:51
ex cup playoffs and a true
1:40:53
da drivers situation of these toddler
1:40:55
money then i saw some money is for
1:40:58
one or the other yeah and so you
1:41:00
know that was two any credit
1:41:03
to their lot to their lawyer for being candid
1:41:05
to the court you have to but
1:41:08
don't i wouldn't probably phrased that
1:41:10
what how much to that
1:41:11
attorney misspeak or not have sex
1:41:14
together
1:41:15
i won't solve this year on it on the
1:41:17
issue of so betting against
1:41:19
these bogus so i think he he
1:41:21
i don't know what he meant but he made a statement
1:41:23
about the winnings
1:41:25
being recouped against the contract
1:41:27
yeah if you guys that if there's one reason
1:41:30
why was keys to go forward other than just like
1:41:32
the courtroom drama which isn't gonna happen again for long
1:41:34
time it's because there was a question there was
1:41:36
a lot of talking to be very beginning of the hearings
1:41:38
about whether the tours
1:41:41
lawyer could speak openly about
1:41:43
it allowed to live contracts because
1:41:45
those contracts are in evidence and if he's
1:41:47
if you read the the
1:41:49
response to the tour there were a couple sections that were redacted
1:41:52
intersection draw redacted because it's talking about
1:41:54
precisely how much money those players are being
1:41:56
paid and on the conditions by which they're being
1:41:59
paid them
1:41:59
and
1:42:00
there was
1:42:01
essentially professional courtesy because
1:42:04
the live lawyer said we think these
1:42:06
are confidential and the towards lawyer said
1:42:08
we disagree but we're not at risk putting
1:42:10
this out in the open and and then getting admonished by
1:42:12
the judges she's not going make that
1:42:14
determination today and so
1:42:16
or if or if goes for those
1:42:18
contracts are eventually going to get unsealed and were didn't get
1:42:20
to see exactly how stupid or how
1:42:23
genius some of these players are for
1:42:25
making the money that what on escalators look like
1:42:27
and what bonuses look like a that's the thing i'm talking
1:42:29
about camps for instance like on
1:42:32
you know i'm not sure yet like
1:42:34
what's they can makes number one in the world
1:42:37
before the end of this festival that
1:42:39
point i hope for kim sake that
1:42:42
there's another escalator in there that has
1:42:44
they give you another twenty five million dollars for
1:42:46
being number one yeah i mean like there's this
1:42:48
sort of the in the transcript did
1:42:50
the conversation on while i won't read it all but it says
1:42:53
well these contracts provide for pay other court
1:42:55
this is gentry misses the contracts provide for
1:42:57
painted simply for showing up for the first tournament
1:42:59
and mr wilders as well they do the may
1:43:01
have to have to win money in order
1:43:03
to recoup against the contracts of their a little
1:43:05
bit different
1:43:07
and
1:43:08
on the hot make which i don't know for to lug
1:43:10
this submit this into evidence but it sounded
1:43:13
like the old one of the other attorneys
1:43:15
of a sudden there was can i keep what you meant to say
1:43:17
was and in that hermes with three
1:43:19
dollars marino siblings name and
1:43:21
then they were quick to on several people resort
1:43:23
to live and ask for clarification on as and they
1:43:26
were quick to say like know this was not
1:43:28
as intended south randall of course
1:43:30
it another victory lap that he was right on this and
1:43:32
he's not almost certain ways though
1:43:34
the no names that's almost certainly wow
1:43:37
and like i wouldn't be shocked if she's
1:43:39
kept it didn't have a provision in in his it said
1:43:41
like the first five million that you earn
1:43:43
and tour events is like games were contractor
1:43:46
vs exactly like somebody like bryson
1:43:48
who
1:43:49
yeah it's frequently but also
1:43:51
or it's like hey you have to basically
1:43:53
you have a giraffe these tournaments because that
1:43:55
shows that you completed the actual
1:43:57
event
1:43:58
even if he at last place one
1:43:59
that's still like that almost
1:44:02
enact
1:44:03
you know
1:44:04
they came one of these with they
1:44:06
get a place thirty events
1:44:07
like thirty events over three years this an axe
1:44:09
one of those thirty a that are it and so
1:44:12
are also continuing on from a group of
1:44:14
finances are based on as evidenced euro
1:44:16
plaintiffs have not even shown that they've been harmed
1:44:18
let alone irreparably it is clear
1:44:20
that the live golf contract negotiated by
1:44:22
the tiara plaintiffs and consummated between the
1:44:24
parties were based on the players calculation of
1:44:27
what they would be leaving behind in the amount of money
1:44:29
they would need to compensate for those
1:44:31
losses to euro plaintiffs have signed contracts
1:44:33
that richly reward them for their talent
1:44:36
and compensate for last opportunity through
1:44:38
tor play in fact the evidence shows
1:44:40
almost without a doubt that they will be earning significantly
1:44:42
more money with live golf than they could have reasonably
1:44:45
have expected to make through tor play
1:44:47
over the same time periods further tiara
1:44:49
plane of contention that they will irreparably lose
1:44:52
future sponsorship opportunities and
1:44:54
career status is undermined by zero
1:44:56
plaintiffs evidence that live golf offers a refreshing
1:44:58
new extremely fan friendly business
1:45:01
model that will lead to unimproved broadcasts
1:45:03
output and entertainment experience compared
1:45:06
to the stayed old golf world built
1:45:08
by the pg towards if live golf
1:45:10
is is illegals future what
1:45:12
do tiara plane as care about the dust
1:45:15
collecting trophies of a bygone
1:45:17
era and quote fucking sick
1:45:19
that's awesome fits v here
1:45:21
is all of the shit that live as
1:45:23
been pushing out and and flaunting for so
1:45:25
long against it in a legal case
1:45:28
is very much of like davis love was very
1:45:30
much of bring on discovery
1:45:32
like i would i would we have a lot more to gain
1:45:34
i do not know if this is good advice
1:45:36
at all but they seem to have a lot more or
1:45:38
of be of the mind or he is of the mind
1:45:40
that there's a lot more to gain for the pc toward discovery
1:45:43
in terms of what else has been going
1:45:45
on behind the scenes with live and again
1:45:47
i don't know that be accurate but it doesn't seem like they're
1:45:49
as as afraid of like peeling back some
1:45:51
of these layers so so so funny
1:45:53
or time i'm mad skills and hudson swofford
1:45:56
as to the guys has and swofford has
1:45:58
i didn't mean to cut since like the
1:45:59
heritage
1:46:01
the not jones li li gets it's just
1:46:04
granted the cutest had a good year and all that
1:46:06
but like matt jones hudson swofford
1:46:08
can be more i know hard
1:46:10
one one of the desert but like
1:46:13
like neither of them has done shit since
1:46:15
since the spring right in the and the judge kind of
1:46:18
me to another quip in the hearing about like
1:46:20
it's not like these guys are number one two and
1:46:22
three like what i , i
1:46:24
think has finally get seven are
1:46:26
we talking about a which and
1:46:28
i mean it's the you know
1:46:30
it it goes back to his the
1:46:32
harm or you know is there irreparable harm
1:46:35
and for get a really good was the
1:46:37
best case because he was what twentieth
1:46:39
understandings and actually probably
1:46:41
would have locked up all the majors
1:46:43
for next year if he would have just been able to it up
1:46:46
but the judge saying you took that into consideration
1:46:48
and you took a lot of money to not do that so
1:46:51
and if i may say the elite rate rodeo
1:46:53
case seems to be bad news for live
1:46:56
in an elite rodeo blah blah blah
1:46:58
horses of the bad but basically defining
1:47:00
was no irreparable harm were plaintiffs
1:47:02
are unable to compete in the prc
1:47:04
a baobab because they are own
1:47:07
and are competing professionally and
1:47:09
competing era again these are
1:47:11
two different rodeo leagues or whatever
1:47:13
but arguably at a higher level of competition
1:47:15
and which they claimed will lead to an
1:47:18
increased exposure to fans improved
1:47:20
ability to extract sponsors better health and longer
1:47:22
careers based like all the things that live
1:47:24
is promising it sounds like has unfolded
1:47:26
in a precedent case of elite rodeo
1:47:29
yeah i read that cases afternoon and it's an
1:47:31
interesting
1:47:32
comparison because you said it does
1:47:34
emphasize a lot of the same things that
1:47:37
the live players are emphasizing i'm
1:47:39
not the least of which is that they're earning more
1:47:41
money and they're competing less
1:47:43
and that was the exact signal theoretically to
1:47:45
being less a nosy exact same as
1:47:47
satisfaction in the elite radio case
1:47:50
there's also i think there's two other cases
1:47:52
inside his mother lawyers to other cases that
1:47:54
kind of
1:47:55
specific to this one and
1:47:57
to very a political the us
1:48:01
or decide the and suitable a vs board of
1:48:03
regents oklahoma went with all
1:48:05
the supreme court back in the eighties
1:48:07
and is all about tv rights the
1:48:10
for the unsuitable i and which can go
1:48:12
the supreme court
1:48:14
a lot of several years from now there's
1:48:16
gotta be an adjudication of this case so
1:48:18
either a motion for summary the parties will file
1:48:20
was called motion for summary judgment which basically
1:48:23
say all the discovery done there's
1:48:25
no dispute as to what the facts are it's strictly
1:48:27
legal argument judge please make a decision and
1:48:29
she can either say i agree with one side
1:48:31
or the other or shall say no i think that there are no
1:48:33
facts of this needs to go to a jury and
1:48:35
which case there would be a jury trial the
1:48:38
jury would render a verdict than that for
1:48:40
it can be appealed to the ninth circuit court
1:48:42
of appeals which would take probably another year
1:48:44
and then after that depending
1:48:47
on who doesn't like the outcome there to be an appeal to
1:48:49
spring courts a sprinkler would
1:48:51
have to agree to actually look
1:48:54
at this case which ,
1:48:56
they don't necessarily have to do they can deny yeah
1:48:58
rid of petition for surgery rory what's calling
1:49:01
asking the supreme court to guys decide
1:49:03
who convinced versus p g eight source
1:49:05
snacks while obama said of the very
1:49:07
first thing with the the zoo humans
1:49:09
when the my house as the as have the clerk of
1:49:11
as like michaelson vs digital i guess where
1:49:13
off baby discovery awesome awesome
1:49:16
so just just reading through this and seat
1:49:18
of labour supporter reasons it says the
1:49:20
case dealt with television rights to college football
1:49:23
games was for control by the unsuitable control by
1:49:25
the appearance of university teams in each these
1:49:27
the inflatable i believe that their control
1:49:29
of tv rights protected live audience which
1:49:32
was disputed by number colleges
1:49:34
the lord your college is formed the college football
1:49:36
association to negotiate television
1:49:38
contracts until the unsuitable a than
1:49:40
advised the colleges that they would be banned
1:49:43
from all and suitably competition no
1:49:45
interest in football
1:49:47
then then board of regents of
1:49:50
oklahoma sued to stop the practice
1:49:52
supreme court held that the unsuitable his actions were
1:49:54
strength trade and ruined savor the university's
1:49:57
there's that one in the there's another one the
1:49:59
nfl
1:49:59
versus american needle which of the
1:50:02
had were apparel company as
1:50:05
well so i haven't i haven't read up on that one
1:50:07
well and the other thing is that the tour has been sued
1:50:09
and antitrust before there's a case called
1:50:11
moore's communications versus communications bj door
1:50:14
and it was it was his early two thousand case
1:50:16
back when the tor
1:50:18
when you know the earlier ages of the
1:50:21
of live scoring on the internet which
1:50:23
has clearly not evolve in the last eighteen
1:50:25
years but back then it was a
1:50:27
it was a case about essentially these media
1:50:29
companies suing the bj tour because
1:50:32
the the tour controlled the
1:50:34
shot while pre shuttling potentially
1:50:37
walking volunteer scoring it's strings
1:50:39
many back to the truck the truck posting an online
1:50:42
then if you're during a wide scoreboard
1:50:45
the communication more mutation settled that's
1:50:47
not fair we have to buy a license
1:50:49
in order to do this and or the tour's
1:50:51
preventing us from essentially having the
1:50:53
ability to also posts lives course i'm
1:50:56
in there was a as , is
1:50:58
i trust claim there and that that the
1:51:00
oh that was actually in in
1:51:02
does your to florida and the eleventh circuit's and
1:51:05
in and , case that or
1:51:07
actually one on the anti trust
1:51:09
claims at the summary judgment stage
1:51:11
centrally the court saying okay
1:51:14
for the tour to do this legitimately
1:51:16
a legitimate thing to protect it's business interests
1:51:18
or again prevent free riding your your terms
1:51:20
on which also comes up in the tours brief in
1:51:22
the city so it's not it's not like the heavens
1:51:24
i came up an initial suspense
1:51:27
and i thank you and that's it so that
1:51:29
or knows how to how are you this
1:51:31
i'm and they have a judge that sympathetic to their defense
1:51:34
so you think the torment
1:51:36
wanted to sing along as fast as they possibly can
1:51:38
to certain extent as we looked like the american needle
1:51:41
and was was all about nfl p
1:51:43
a the nfl
1:51:45
no teams can they collude
1:51:48
together to grant licenses
1:51:50
to say reebok or fanatics
1:51:52
or whomever or can they each decide
1:51:56
upon who they want to license stuff
1:51:58
there
1:51:59
i
1:51:59
the thing that is the are all
1:52:02
the legal ease i think i can handle on probably muslims
1:52:04
who can handle but until next week probably
1:52:06
on that one couple other items get the before
1:52:08
we close out the big first week of as major
1:52:10
changes to the o j b g r for
1:52:13
those that are not familiar it is a
1:52:15
as a free a free seasonal your photography
1:52:17
season is definitely over there
1:52:20
is no more minimum first place
1:52:22
points awarded to week field so
1:52:24
kind of the background innocence of we've been talking on his podcast
1:52:27
for many years now is on
1:52:30
a lot of tour specifically on the european tour and
1:52:32
the asian tour ah they have a a
1:52:34
minimum amount regardless of the field
1:52:36
strength you a a i defaulted
1:52:38
amount the amount of the twenty
1:52:40
four points allotted to european
1:52:42
tour events to the first place winner which greatly
1:52:45
outpaced the actual strength of
1:52:47
a lot of their fields and ,
1:52:49
saw basically what that led to was a bias
1:52:51
in the rankings on both the european tour and the asian
1:52:53
tour this new system is more based
1:52:55
on a strokes game basis and
1:52:57
ah the the field strength is
1:52:59
actually gonna be of reflective
1:53:02
of every one that's in the field now not just
1:53:04
a ranking of the top players in the fields
1:53:06
and dot this is another big win
1:53:08
for the pg tour as the asian tour is going to
1:53:10
lose points very fast or
1:53:13
not have nearly as many points available which might
1:53:15
be quite important as patch agreed goes
1:53:17
and when tried to manipulate this week and went and
1:53:20
got and got thirty one in the international
1:53:22
series of and or whatever that was on the asian tour
1:53:24
and got ah on he he
1:53:27
got a little bit more points to be actually what a gardener the
1:53:29
old system ironically but it would
1:53:31
have taken now he got less pointed were
1:53:33
taken for to finish last of guys that made
1:53:35
the cut this week in memphis in
1:53:37
it's not significant in any way and would be
1:53:39
really hard ah basically so
1:53:42
the live guys if they wanna try to manipulate
1:53:45
gets more ranking points reason torments are all
1:53:47
gonna have played the same time and have
1:53:49
to do it quickly because are already falling
1:53:51
and they are i'm also don't even have that many how he ranked
1:53:53
players to begin with enough to manipulate the fields to
1:53:55
get enough points but this
1:53:58
is a pretty pretty significant it
1:54:00
is it's going to have an impact going down down
1:54:02
the road in terms of you know how points
1:54:04
are given out and a it's it's
1:54:06
quite interesting i can't remember who i was reading
1:54:08
a sweet wrote an article about jimbo zaki
1:54:11
there's a moment later said
1:54:14
he was he had enough point
1:54:16
stacked up on the agent on the other
1:54:19
japan for to where he does
1:54:21
i get flu like forty eight or fifty he
1:54:23
was like in the top ten in the world something
1:54:26
like that suffered greatly
1:54:28
outpacing up a good outcome
1:54:30
i will be with his it was you could get very high
1:54:32
in the world without actually beating the top players in the
1:54:34
world and that just didn't
1:54:37
a little bit like an artificial ceiling or glad
1:54:39
illness and sword or is it just as it's long
1:54:41
overdue to make an adjustment of this guy now is this
1:54:43
a very very bad development for the dp
1:54:46
world tour yes it is ah
1:54:48
at the same time they've been they've been
1:54:50
free riding a bit if he will on and getting
1:54:52
way too many points compared to their field strength
1:54:54
and yeah i saw some takes
1:54:56
line around of how devastating this devastating this be to the
1:54:58
other fields and dp world tour into that
1:55:00
i would say they're not pulling
1:55:03
the fields anyways even with
1:55:05
the big points that were available while
1:55:07
in the purses are so small comparatively to
1:55:10
like you if your options play for a bajillion
1:55:12
dollars live play for schiller money
1:55:14
on the tour or play for virtually nothing in
1:55:16
europe like most that's your
1:55:18
only option than was like it was essentially
1:55:20
got off weekend your of sweet and the corn
1:55:23
ferry
1:55:25
had a stronger feel like almost by double via
1:55:27
my concern isn't so much about the impact
1:55:30
it has in the fields it's about the impact
1:55:32
it has on the connectivity between
1:55:35
you to address the world or between
1:55:38
you know that the other regions of the world
1:55:40
like he other tours the able
1:55:42
to it especially with less in
1:55:44
others the wtc is subtly
1:55:46
going away his other than
1:55:49
going away as gonna like or it that would what
1:55:51
are the avenues through with somebody can
1:55:54
the
1:55:55
advance their career you
1:55:57
know before they get to the puget or i guess
1:55:59
where yeah i think i think it or tana just
1:56:02
makes it a not necessarily closed
1:56:04
shop but i mean i think it's a
1:56:06
mega mclaren or tweet about this but
1:56:09
you know there's probably some players who don't
1:56:11
want a plane america all the time and
1:56:13
who would prefer to stay in europe
1:56:15
and and do the things in i
1:56:18
kind of gotta just so my hands up hands little bit on
1:56:20
some of the stuff and not that i disagree at
1:56:22
all and at kind of sucks for people
1:56:24
like that but like think the the days
1:56:26
of someone just predominantly
1:56:28
playing in europe and becoming a top ten player in the world
1:56:30
are probably over like that's that's probably
1:56:32
not going to happen anymore and when i think there's
1:56:35
some negative to that as well but i think
1:56:37
from a pure competition standpoint
1:56:39
rewarding the best players i think this is also
1:56:41
kind of inarguable
1:56:43
that gonna where i net out in the yeah
1:56:45
is it the damaging
1:56:48
to a lot of tours and except for the pj
1:56:50
tour i would say deftly say yes but
1:56:52
at the same time like is it the official
1:56:54
rogoff rankings job to prop up
1:56:56
the asian tour and the european towards an
1:56:58
acknowledgement of the current reality yeah right and
1:57:00
that's the craziest thing to pieces look at look
1:57:03
at how far the whatever you call it did
1:57:05
you world tour european tour how far the phone
1:57:07
and less
1:57:08
the arcade and especially two decades
1:57:10
like in i know a lot of this started
1:57:13
prior to prior to his
1:57:15
tenure but man you gotta look hard at like
1:57:18
earlier scott pelley where's names like
1:57:21
a powerful hanukkah's like he you
1:57:23
know like man like man like it's pry
1:57:25
it should probably be the end of the road for him
1:57:28
yeah it's the a know well enough
1:57:30
versed in and all that disable it very
1:57:33
clear things have not gone well for european tour
1:57:35
of this time period but there was the are
1:57:37
i fps hand a mix what i was once
1:57:39
a honda mixed earth and other that's name
1:57:41
vivid the i a simultaneous men's and women's
1:57:43
events between the rdp worlds or
1:57:45
the lpg tour and the ladies european tour
1:57:48
ah in northern ireland this week which made
1:57:50
for some great tv that is doubled down the chances
1:57:53
of an exciting finish it was not that exciting
1:57:55
on the on the women side is my us maya
1:57:57
don't call me aria stark wins for
1:57:59
her the time since september
1:58:02
and a date gained lpg towards that
1:58:04
did she take it or you could differ until twenty
1:58:07
two three if she wanted there is a
1:58:09
cigarette not the a post that she had accepted
1:58:11
okay lbj so she's
1:58:13
, absolute killer on
1:58:15
the ladies european tours and cowboys oklahoma
1:58:18
state that's right ah little
1:58:20
right
1:58:21
the engram played well against as well sweet
1:58:24
like swedes the danes the plane while
1:58:26
man shall outlaw and coughlin to students
1:58:28
forty sixteen yep throughout she was up
1:58:30
there i mean i target the film fullback a lot
1:58:33
of the weekend she was a our hudson fallen
1:58:35
weekend weird weird weird golf course
1:58:37
yeah it was a soft a lot like there
1:58:39
is
1:58:40
it was from but narrow
1:58:42
the retarded pens everywhere and weird penalty area
1:58:44
is fairly off the fairway and is it
1:58:46
was i will use so narrow it off
1:58:48
the t that you couldn't really see the
1:58:50
ball you could really play for an angle is
1:58:52
it was so from that he'd score right through the fairway
1:58:55
and that was just like it was like watching
1:58:58
them try to turn up said like
1:59:00
of turn up the dial on a on
1:59:03
bad architecture where it's determined as and
1:59:05
it's like don't do that it's not good so
1:59:08
, mean again like it's it seems to be
1:59:10
an equal opportunity thing in northern ireland and
1:59:12
regular ireland to have the tournaments
1:59:15
on bad golf courses guess so if
1:59:19
the vivid because it oh believe me we will a
1:59:21
korn ferry results this you're absolutely
1:59:23
no one change their status in the final event
1:59:25
of the year that sick the twenty five that we're
1:59:28
in a are in and are
1:59:30
what we have to blow up sometime this fall to kind of take a look
1:59:32
at it was i think overall it was kinda
1:59:34
flat if you're was little bit like there was a lot of
1:59:37
like don't want to call them retreads but want lotta guys
1:59:39

2:01:08
we this was rumored we talked about
2:01:10
it after the british open a but
2:01:12
this was i forget the was it the guardian or the telegraph
2:01:14
whoever somebody's been all over it from the beginning
2:01:17
finally reported the game smith if it's during
2:01:19
the hearing that the news came out ah
2:01:22
that game smith is signed with live for
2:01:24
over a hundred million dollars and to kim
2:01:26
kim percy ah ,
2:01:28
evenings a timeline of that runs like
2:01:30
or is eternal rest are flooded by care rivers like
2:01:32
delivery or fitness with this is ah
2:01:35
but yes i don't know i mean as you know
2:01:37
but we will blow your boys leaving yeah my boys
2:01:40
living it sucks i'm not happy about it
2:01:42
i understand least a little bit more than can
2:01:44
leases probably as
2:01:46
you know a couple mortgage years i don't think
2:01:49
leases
2:01:50
working to have person who a rumor
2:01:52
or you know i don't think he's going to be playing
2:01:54
well deep into his early fifties
2:01:57
ah inner cities is it makes sense
2:01:59
and maximize it it still sucks
2:02:01
lady i don't judge those guys is harshly
2:02:03
other do the ringleaders from the beginning of this
2:02:06
the either
2:02:07
the man it's tough to square with
2:02:09
with cans code
2:02:11
the year to go about
2:02:13
you know and like i don't play for the money
2:02:15
in i'm just gonna get a bigger fishing boat as if
2:02:18
i do make more money you know yeah it's what
2:02:20
we've been saying over recent weeks this
2:02:22
is it is the change in
2:02:24
basically all the signing for they've had to date they
2:02:26
have not had a player at their peak
2:02:29
ah i'm you know
2:02:30
potentially number one player in the world
2:02:33
that it clearly has a ton of great competitive
2:02:35
golf in front of them leave to go play on
2:02:37
the circuit into that it is it's damaging
2:02:39
it's hurtful it it's not good
2:02:42
for , may come after it and
2:02:45
it sucks is just no no no
2:02:47
way around it really it's still just feels asked
2:02:50
to me like off brand for cam and
2:02:54
i you know it's just super awkward
2:02:56
he gets gonna gets to ask about in presser's he just says
2:02:58
i'm here to win the fed ex cup and ex
2:03:01
cup just you know to do here is been here for
2:03:03
me not from came and proceed they will actually campers
2:03:05
he said it in the he's right and that's
2:03:07
where i snuggle little bit were in that
2:03:09
same
2:03:11
etti almost exact same time
2:03:13
like the tour like they're talking about it in the trial
2:03:15
about like basically suspending guys
2:03:17
for recruiting other guys are for
2:03:19
guys publicly talking about live and it's like
2:03:23
i know we can publically say earlier
2:03:25
go to the first cup playoff exactly i signed
2:03:27
with live i get that but it's just i don't
2:03:29
know it'll still little bit city to go play the fedexcup
2:03:31
last and spouse just
2:03:33
bounces me i get it like these these
2:03:35
events are lined up intentionally you notice
2:03:38
or if the live events are are lined up opposite
2:03:41
not playoff events for reasons
2:03:44
you know they know they be thought they could play them but
2:03:46
said i guess the way that he would justify it would be
2:03:48
the
2:03:49
no he's earned the i
2:03:51
part of his bonuses that have been earned throughout
2:03:54
the course of the year with with is open championship
2:03:57
win with his players when and all that like the
2:04:00
he's earned at least some semblance
2:04:02
of however many millions of dollars it's
2:04:04
not
2:04:06
starting other legal conversation that but it's actually probably
2:04:08
quite helpful to lives case that they're
2:04:10
signing like the number to plan regard to get again
2:04:12
if your point is that you're having a difficult
2:04:15
i know it's aunt lives kiss the live plaintiffs case
2:04:17
is that the point of being anti
2:04:20
competitive but the but you're able to sign
2:04:22
the number two player in the world is
2:04:26
the seeming contradiction
2:04:27
you know i think we can to assist
2:04:30
that it sits down to like
2:04:32
he sees exerted by the perfectly easy
2:04:34
as the ideal player for live to sign his
2:04:37
best golf i feel like is ahead of them are at least
2:04:39
or the head of them will see how
2:04:41
the saxon on that regard
2:04:43
extremely likeable
2:04:45
the
2:04:46
these the reigning players champion
2:04:48
like how stalking awkward is gonna
2:04:50
be if he wins this all my
2:04:52
if he wins the fedexcup holy
2:04:55
shit man you're going to be so awkward
2:04:57
but just you know like article is probably like you're not
2:04:59
going to be at a forty two ,
2:05:01
one hundred posts are just likes of
2:05:04
ammonium to smack of the trophy opportunity opportunity
2:05:06
provide sought asylum i think of the can't
2:05:09
the camps us attorney it's tough
2:05:11
it's he has kind of on
2:05:13
that
2:05:14
hard five players like i
2:05:16
hoped wouldn't go list because
2:05:18
i love watching them play at
2:05:21
, same time the he's now exempted the
2:05:23
all the majors for the next white five years
2:05:25
the open essentially for life ah
2:05:28
he you know it you
2:05:30
know of i don't know what is like
2:05:33
childhood loyalty to the pj tour
2:05:35
is you know i know obviously grub watching the majors
2:05:37
and and how closely grew up watching pj
2:05:39
to golf but on the flipside i
2:05:41
also you know and trying your pride
2:05:44
much closer to this and i am but just
2:05:46
, between the lines on on kind of what changed
2:05:49
over the past couple years it kind of seems like it's is because
2:05:51
he absolutely worked his ass off off
2:05:54
and the pj tour absolutely pushed him
2:05:56
to do that right and so i
2:05:59
don't have not
2:05:59
rooting for this necessarily mean
2:06:02
that i could kind of see him being in that category of
2:06:04
live guys it's like sweet man
2:06:06
yams can official lot more and like your
2:06:09
performance is kind of to fall off
2:06:11
if that is the case and and he's
2:06:14
kind of seems like a prime example of somebody that i yet
2:06:16
he , selling at the absolute
2:06:18
highest end i don't know what
2:06:21
we say this about guys all the time like oh
2:06:23
man they've got another five years another ten
2:06:25
years there's going to keep going to going to going and
2:06:27
i honestly i'm i honestly to look like an idiot
2:06:29
down the road think that if he goes and
2:06:31
does is like
2:06:33
his best golf is not ahead of because is
2:06:35
because his whole games predicated upon
2:06:37
working hard and like his
2:06:39
it's all about his intangibles not necessarily
2:06:41
got this raw talent that is trying to tap into
2:06:44
a hooters that's what it seems like that's i added
2:06:46
have to have it just sucks all always
2:06:48
been like what you know he he
2:06:50
feels is like a mile
2:06:52
and a half from tpc saw this
2:06:55
still i mean less the now he lives he
2:06:57
was a mild on the road practices
2:06:59
out there qb
2:07:02
runs in dale everybody at the local
2:07:04
coffee shop it's of you can be like
2:07:06
of republic creek membership yeah oh well
2:07:08
the everly since i'm in monaghan are over there
2:07:10
like their phone and i saw it on the sarah slices
2:07:13
easy i think he's probably gonna be like oh shit
2:07:15
i gotta move to jupiter and play out of analysts
2:07:18
do whatever right but you know i think the
2:07:20
other thing tuesday to you brought it up like there's
2:07:22
a certain sense and a people
2:07:24
shit all over me when i bring this up but i think it's a very
2:07:27
real thing like the australian
2:07:29
guys the south african guys like you're
2:07:31
totally right like it's not they have
2:07:33
a lot less will to the pj tours fiji tours
2:07:35
american and city right and to
2:07:38
a certain extent aware i
2:07:40
don't i don't think the pj tour i
2:07:42
think they've done some things that may have been malicious
2:07:44
but otherwise i don't think that there's been a whole
2:07:46
lot of instances where they've helped out
2:07:48
other tours right where
2:07:51
i think the wraparound scheduled thing really hurt the
2:07:53
australian does he others those countries you mentioned
2:07:55
specifically have a disproportionately high number of
2:07:57
profession like world class professional golfers
2:07:59
in comparison to the amount of attention
2:08:02
that the golf and those countries it's
2:08:04
paid ever take it will really unprofessional
2:08:06
and they have their own tours in
2:08:08
those countries and those tours are predominantly played
2:08:11
in in our winter
2:08:14
when the when guys like cam
2:08:16
and like i mean i've talked him out he about it a bunch
2:08:18
were like if least doesn't go and play
2:08:21
the shriners in the cj
2:08:23
up and the zozo like he's
2:08:25
he's rocking up at sony no
2:08:28
seventy fifth on the fed ex
2:08:30
cup list or one hundred and fifty of them the first a list
2:08:32
and light feeling like he is up
2:08:35
against it and is not a good way to start the year
2:08:37
and i know that's like woe is me
2:08:39
you're you're making millions of dollars play golf
2:08:41
but these guys also like the most
2:08:43
of them have done a good job of going back to australia
2:08:46
in november december playing golf
2:08:48
down there like a mean adam scott you do that
2:08:50
every year like he was sharp as fuck
2:08:52
going into kappa lua
2:08:54
every year because it been playing it you know he
2:08:56
would you'd play and that he would rest for a while
2:08:59
and recharge down there you come back and tear
2:09:01
it up on the west coast swing setting their stephanie
2:09:04
a certain level of like i
2:09:06
think cam to go like i like i
2:09:08
wouldn't underestimate that like the guy didn't get
2:09:10
to go on for like two years due to cove it
2:09:13
right any where where where i i
2:09:15
don't disagree i think i i
2:09:17
i don't excuse it though is this is always
2:09:19
change like know next year i got
2:09:21
this is a specific thing that is going to go
2:09:23
away south and that just not about a maybe they
2:09:25
are frustrated with how that's gone over past years but
2:09:28
that's not going to be the case totally totally
2:09:30
a valid you know a valid thing but i
2:09:32
i just think at some point like the the schedule
2:09:34
feels more self contained plus i know
2:09:36
that they said hey we're going to have two more event
2:09:39
they're not going to be live tour events but
2:09:41
we're going to have two more events you know and so
2:09:44
hey if cam goes home
2:09:46
lol
2:09:47
weiss a year now for an extended
2:09:49
period time for two or two or three months
2:09:51
like that feels like
2:09:52
the massive quality of life thing for him i
2:09:55
also think like with is probably going to devolve
2:09:57
into
2:09:58
not
2:09:59
the i'm i'm going to develop a certain level
2:10:02
of hates too strong of a word but just
2:10:04
frustration and end up said it
2:10:06
miss it at the people that
2:10:08
are going to fight the puget or on this and note
2:10:11
that the live players are gonna fight to be detour and
2:10:13
live pleasures can go play the odour right
2:10:15
odour right it's the ass holes that are gonna
2:10:17
try to have it both ways and are going to make the
2:10:19
shit just crawl through the courts
2:10:21
in it be excruciating and try
2:10:23
to double dip is gonna put you in a totally
2:10:25
different bracket than like a lotta live guys
2:10:28
that aren't a part of that suit and and and
2:10:30
part of you know antitrust claims
2:10:32
in the future and and all that colleague if you want
2:10:34
to go do that go do it but just you can't
2:10:36
try to tear down and break up the entire pj
2:10:39
tor competitive
2:10:40
at work along the way or something this week like father
2:10:42
resigned so that you know it it
2:10:44
sounded like he resigned prior yeah
2:10:47
the the fact that he resigned and and more
2:10:49
guys got into the yard honorary final
2:10:51
elements it didn't sound like it was in he
2:10:54
did it because of that or whatever but when you resign
2:10:56
pleasant like when you resigned you give up any
2:11:00
vested in calmer any
2:11:02
the elected of years and
2:11:05
i i believe it's i'd i don't
2:11:07
deter you may be able to speak to this better but and
2:11:09
davis love mentioned three days resigned from the gas
