1:42

is just about golf season everywhere

1:45

and actually very warm

1:47

the last week up in Chicago, people, I saw people

1:50

sneaking out on the golf course. Never remember

1:52

that when I was a kid sneaking out in

1:54

February. But it'll

1:57

be here before you know it, and

1:59

hope it's going to be your best year ever playing golf. All

2:01

right, today I want to talk about an

2:03

interview I saw with John rob

2:06

Of course, everything everything that people

2:08

are talking about in golf has

2:10

to do with the l

2:13

IV. I mean, it's it's all anybody

2:15

talks about. So John rom gets

2:18

interviewed by ESPN and

2:20

they ask him the obvious questions,

2:23

you know, why did you go to LIV?

2:26

He gave a great answer. He said,

2:28

I went to l IV because

2:31

of the money. It's all

2:33

about the money. And he says

2:36

money and more

2:38

time, basically, more time

2:41

to himself, more time with this fan. I have been

2:43

saying this since day one.

2:46

I have said that anyone

2:50

who didn't take an l

2:52

IV offer, I'm sure

2:54

they all had their reasons, but

2:57

that decision is

3:00

coming back to haunt every one of these

3:02

guys. They had a chance to work

3:04

work less, get paid more,

3:06

and like John Ram said in his interview, he

3:09

said, I don't know about you, but

3:12

to get paid more and to work less,

3:14

it sounds like a good deal to me. I

3:17

don't know who wouldn't think that, you

3:19

know? I mean, if you're making

3:21

you know, fifty thousand dollars a year

3:24

and somebody tells you they're going to pay you two hundred

3:26

thousand dollars a year and you're

3:28

going to work less, I mean, who

3:30

wouldn't Who wouldn't do that? And so

3:33

that's the point that John Ron

3:35

made. They asked John Rom

3:38

why were you hesitant

3:41

to go to l IV What were

3:43

you worried about? And the first thing

3:45

he brought up was media

3:48

backlash. So it has

3:50

worked. The plan of

3:53

the PGA tour that they

3:55

had from day one to squash

3:58

the LIV and to keep tour

4:01

by media

4:04

backlash and colluding

4:06

with the media, the corrupt golf

4:08

media. That definitely worked.

4:10

But once the initial players

4:13

had gone and players

4:15

realize, okay, you know what, the first guys

4:17

took the big heat, I'm just going to maybe take

4:19

a little bit of heat. You know, I got to do a couple

4:22

of interviews, one interview, when I go another,

4:24

maybe another couple interviews. He's probably done

4:26

his last one where they're going to ask him that question

4:28

again because he just did the ESPN interview and

4:31

it's done and it's fine, you know what. And

4:33

John Ram said, you know,

4:36

my responsibilities take care of my family

4:38

and myself. And he's very nice guy, very

4:40

humble guy. I'm a huge

4:42

John rom fan. And he said,

4:44

you know, I know we're very fortunate, we're

4:47

very you know, we're very privileged. I

4:49

get that, but it's

4:51

still my responsibility to take care of myself

4:54

my family. And you know what, I don't

4:56

know how anybody can argue with that, with

4:58

that statement,

5:01

I mean, it's just to me, it makes

5:04

makes total sense. Genre they

5:06

asked him, how has your life changed in the last year,

5:10

once again a point I keep making over and over

5:12

again. After he won the Masters and

5:14

he'd already won the US Open. Now he's now he won

5:16

the Masters too, and he said,

5:18

you know, your notoriety changes, your

5:21

status changes. It's the majors

5:23

and the Ryder Cup. Like I've said so

5:25

many times, it's the majors. And

5:27

the Ryder Cup. Those are

5:30

the events in golf that

5:33

elevate a player's status,

5:36

your legacy, legacy

5:38

unless your Tiger Woods are gonna win eighty two

5:40

times on the PGA Tour, or

5:43

if you're gonna win at least ten

5:45

times on the PGA Tour and

5:48

multiple major championships and make it

5:50

to the Hall of Fame, what else

5:52

is there? Major championships,

5:55

hall of Fame, That's all there is.

5:58

So to win a tournament and

6:00

on the PGA Tour, you

6:02

can say you want on the PGA Tour. You

6:05

got a paycheck for it, but it doesn't set

6:07

you up for life like winning a major does,

6:10

and winning a major championship

6:13

gives you an opportunity to reap the

6:15

rewards, and the l I V

6:17

is one of those one of those rewards right

6:19

now. They asked John Rahm about,

6:22

you know, his thoughts

6:25

on the fact that he had originally

6:27

said he would be, you know, staying

6:29

on the PGA Tour. He's loyal to the PGA

6:31

Tour. He said, everything changed

6:33

when the Public Investment Fund and the

6:35

PGA Tour got together and said they were going

6:38

to negotiate together and try

6:40

to come to an agreement. Everything everything

6:42

changed right there, which everybody knew. That's when everything

6:44

changed, Okay, And and that was

6:46

another great

6:49

statement by by John Rahm. But

6:51

it just confirms what we are. I new the

6:53

players got backsided

6:56

by the PGA tour and and

6:59

that open up negotiations again as

7:01

soon as they did that. And you know what,

7:05

I'm sure those negotiations are are

7:07

ongoing. I don't think I don't think they're gonna they're

7:10

they're gonna stop. They asked

7:12

John ram about how it's been

7:14

received with his peers and particularly

7:18

uh Rory McRoy and

7:20

and Tiger Woods, and he said Rory

7:23

was publicly backed him, which

7:26

he did, and he did the same thing

7:28

privately, which she would expect. Rory has

7:30

softened his stance, he's changed

7:32

his tune, he's done the flipper flopper, and

7:35

uh, you know, don't be surprised

7:37

if he's he's not one foot out the door

7:40

too, because because

7:42

it sure sounds like he could

7:44

be. I mean, he

7:46

he'd not locked in. I can tell you that much.

7:48

He may not be out. He's more than

7:50

zero percent chance out. You can you can

7:52

take that one to the bank for sure. Uh.

7:55

And in fact, Rory himself in the interview

7:57

he did you know when they asked him at the Cognizant

8:00

Tournament, they said, you know, Chubby Chandler said

8:02

that you might be going to l I V. But then he said

8:04

later in his interview that you know, it's only

8:06

a ten percent chance, and Rory said, well, it's probab

8:08

probably somewhere in between. The media laughed it off.

8:10

The corrupt golf media laughed it off. But

8:13

you know they said, oh, maybe he wasn't serious.

8:16

Oh, I don't know about that. I would

8:18

I would take him very serious on that. I would take

8:20

him very serious. They asked John Rahm,

8:23

what about Tiger Woods. He said, well, I

8:25

tried to reach out and no

8:28

response. Okay, that

8:30

that doesn't surprise me. I mean, you

8:32

know, I'm going to come to Tiger's defense here.

8:35

If Tiger reaches back out to John

8:37

Rohm, what's he going to say? I

8:40

thought you shouldn't go. You know, why

8:42

did you do that? Okay? Now, John

8:45

Ram's when they asked that question, He's

8:47

going to say that and that kind

8:49

of that doesn't make Tiger look great.

8:51

Uh, you know, he's standing in the guy's way

8:54

to make money, and you've made all this money

8:56

in your career. What's the matter with with that guy

8:58

making money? So he's a loser

9:00

if he says that response, if

9:02

he says, hey, I understand

9:04

why you went, you know, take

9:07

care of your family, good luck. If

9:09

Tiger does that, then John Rom says

9:12

that, and then that's basically that's basically

9:14

saying you know, Tiger's saying, well, it's okay

9:16

if you leave, and then more guys will leave. So

9:20

I don't think Tiger really

9:22

could could say anything in that

9:25

in that kind of a situation. He said

9:28

everything he could say, which was nothing. You

9:30

know that that just kept it kind of new to

9:32

So you know, Rob probably thinks, well, he's

9:34

not happy about it, but you know he

9:37

probably deep down understands and

9:40

and that's that's that's understanding. Tiger's

9:43

never been a guy

9:45

that that would converse a lot

9:47

with with guys that he thought were his

9:49

his uh you know, his real

9:51

peers. Okay, uh, you

9:54

know, he knows John Rom's a great player, he

9:56

knows Rory's a great player. Tiger got

9:58

got closer to Rory later in his

10:01

cry. I remember I remember

10:03

when Roy macro is a young

10:05

offer. I don't know he's eighteen, nineteen years old,

10:09

and Marko Mira went up to Tiger

10:11

one day and he said, he said, man, Tiger, he said,

10:13

there's this kid in Ireland, great

10:16

young player. And he Mark was, you know, Mark

10:18

gets so excited, you know, and he was like, he was

10:20

like, he was like, you

10:22

know, this kid's going to be great. He's got

10:24

talent like you do. And he's just you know, and of

10:26

course Mark, in Mark's mind, you

10:29

know, nobody's going to be as good as Tiger. But but

10:31

Tiger doesn't like he didn't like competition.

10:33

Okay, I mean, you got to squash competition.

10:36

You got to destroy competition. That's

10:38

what champions do. So he when

10:40

Mark's going on and on, and Mark says,

10:42

you know, hey, you know, maybe we could play with this with

10:45

this kid at the Masters in a practice round.

10:47

And I'm listening to this. I'm listening to Mark go on

10:49

and on. I know how Tiger is. I'm thinking, Mark,

10:52

maybe we could play a practice on for the Masters. I'm thinking

10:55

there is no chance,

10:58

I mean, there is zero possibility,

11:02

zero point zero, that Marko

11:04

Mira is going to is going to

11:06

get Tiger Woods to play a practice round

11:08

at the Masters with Rory McRoy no

11:11

chance. Why why would Tiger do that?

11:13

You've just gone on and on on about how

11:15

talented this guys. Why would Tiger help

11:18

help out his competition by you

11:20

know, playing a chummy practice on with him, letting

11:22

him see up close what he's doing and helping

11:25

him out, not going to And it didn't happen

11:27

either. But then as things went on,

11:29

and you know it, it became

11:32

very evident that Rory mcroy's

11:34

never going to catch Tiger's records,

11:37

not for PJ wins, not for

11:39

major wins. It's it's never going to happen.

11:42

And Rory's been stuck on you know, he's

11:44

stuck on four majors for the last you

11:47

know, since twenty fourteen. Then

11:49

Rory's a great player, He's

11:51

Rory's made a bunch of money, you know, for

11:54

you know, think about the amount of money that guy's probably

11:56

made for winning four major championships.

11:59

But but then Tiger

12:01

all of a sudden, you know, he kind of became

12:04

more friendly with Rorio. Although you know they're

12:06

there, I wonder where they are now because

12:08

because uh, you know, Rory's off the board

12:10

of PGA Tour. Tiger's on the board

12:12

Rory's softened in all his positions. You

12:15

know, you wonder how you know, kind of where where that

12:17

that thing stands right now in

12:21

Tiger's defense with Rom saying

12:23

that he ain't going anywhere because

12:25

he doesn't. He can't. He's not even playing

12:27

golf. Okay, maybe once a month now

12:29

one you know, one turn, but but

12:31

he played in one and didn't finish. Uh,

12:34

you know, got sick. But but it's

12:37

it's it's not likely, you know,

12:39

Tiger, Tiger's not open. He's got

12:41

to make the PGA Tour the best

12:43

he can make it because that's

12:45

where he that's where he is. He ain't

12:48

he ain't going anywhere, and uh,

12:51

I'm sure he's trying to figure out how he can do this.

12:53

Uh, you know, the the

12:56

Simulator Golf League thing t g

12:58

L or you know, they get that tent back

13:00

up and and get that thing going, and

13:03

you know he'll cash in there and

13:05

and make some of the money he rightfully

13:07

deserves for what he's done for the PGA Tour.

13:09

And I'm talking about Tiger Woods. But

13:11

but you know, his

13:14

response was always going to be like that, It was

13:16

never never going to change. But but I

13:18

you know, I thought John Rohm did a great interview.

13:21

Uh you know the

13:23

points he made about the Majors and the Ryder

13:26

Cup being that those are the big events

13:28

and golf it's it's it's

13:30

so obvious and clear and

13:33

the motivation, the money

13:36

and less days. And that's why I keep

13:38

saying it over and over again when when these PGA

13:40

Tour players their ratings are terrible on the

13:42

PGA Tour, it's horrible, the TV ratings.

13:44

When these PGA Tour players are talking about

13:47

the fact that you

13:49

know, these we don't

13:51

want these guys to come back on the PGA Tour.

13:54

I don't understand what these guys are thinking. There's

13:57

no l I V player that wants to come back

13:59

on the PG. The only LIV

14:01

player that wants to come back on the PGA Tour is

14:04

some guy that went to the LIV and

14:06

he didn't play good enough and now he's stuck without

14:08

a place to play. But he calculated that in

14:10

and he thinking, I know what, Hey, I gotta take this

14:13

money when it's there. But there are

14:15

any of those guys want to come back because there isn't

14:17

anybody. There isn't anybody

14:19

I know, there isn't anybody

14:22

I know on the face of the earth,

14:24

not one person that wants

14:27

to work more and get paid less. There

14:29

ain't one person. They are at one person.

14:32

Nope, they're They're in one person

14:34

and they don't want to come back. All right, That's
