It's game changer. Check it out. So Scotty Scheffler's played five Masters, this is fifth Masters's one two of them, two time Major champion, two time Masters champion, and it just had that feel, right, I mean, it just it had kind of a Scotti Scheffler type. Feel the way that he has been playing, the form that he came into this tournament with, you just felt like it was
his to lose in the form that he's in. And I'll be honest, I haven't seen anyone play golf with this kind of ease and consistency, right, I just haven't. I just have not seen anyone play golf the way that he is playing. It's it's been an absolute joy to watch. It's been incredible to watch the way that he he just play. He makes the game look so easy. Everyone thinks his footworks all over the place. His footwork is one hundred percent functional, right. He does exactly what
all the long drive guys do. The feet go back and even though it doesn't look necessarily pretty, it's one hundred percent functional. But the biggest compliment I think that I've heard from Scotty Scheffler are about his game is I've starting to Shane Lowry last week and Shane O said he played with him in the final round of the bay Hill that the Bayhill Imitational that Scotty won, a paired together in the last group and he said, he's so impressive because it doesn't look like he's doing
anything special. It's not overpowering the golf course with his length. Right, He's not putting you off the golf course with his potter. Right, He's not hitting you know, three fifty high bomb draws like Rory. You know, he doesn't have the firepower of Rory or John Robbie. Still hits it a long way, but those guys can overpower the golf course. But I think Scotty is kind of an old school combo of kind of like kind of like Ben Hogan. He just he's not going to beat himself. He's not going to
He's just not going to beat himself. And even though he made some mistakes last week, maybe he didn't have his best stuff last week, but he started the final round seven under. Doesnt Birdie two Bertie's three? And I mean, if you look at some of the birdies he made the third round, right, he misses it pins kind of up on the top on the right, he misses it left. I mean it's a brutal chit. I mean it's a
brutal It's a brutal one. Right, It's brutal for to get the ball close to that hoops, it goes in right and around the turn, right around the final round turn, when everybody was kind of making a run, Max homes making you know, he's right there. More Coward doesn't look like he's going anywhere. They've got the par five. More Coward gets you know, Bertie's eight gets seven, chef Bertie's eight gets seven, and then Morkowen makes double on nine.
Scotty makes Bertie on soy, Bertie's eight nine and ten. And in my head when he did that, I'm thinking he wins by four. And that's what he did. He got to eleven under, wins by four over lud big Alberg. Right, but Bertie's at eight, nine and ten. That's where you make your run, right, that's where you make a run. Made a bogie at eleven. But Bertie's thirteen, Berty's fourteen, Bertie sixteen, and it's game over. And listen Colin more Coowen.
He's a two time major champion, right, he's right there. Max Homer. Everyone thinks that he's got the game to me be a major champion. But this lude big Alberg, I mean, this is the first major he's ever played. He finished second. Joe Scovern, who have had in the pod before Longtime Catty for Ricky Fowler. You want to know how good lud big Augberg was. He didn't have a bag after Ricky Fowler and Joe parted ways, and he picked up Tom Kim, who everyone thinks is a stunt,
who everyone thinks has big game. And as soon as lud big Alberg came available, Scoby went straight there and he told me, it's like Adam Scott in two thousand. Man, he's just you can just tell this kid he's going to be a superstar. I was so impressed with the way he played, to play in his first major, to play it against he'd never been there before, never played that tournament before, To do the things that he was able to do in that tournament was it was just
so impressive. The golf swing is so impressive. But what more now can we say about Scotti Scheffer. I mean, he's a legit. I mean he's got a legit chance to win every single major he plays in this year. I mean he could win all four, that's how good he is. Yes, the stars have to align for that, Yes, that's very, very difficult to do, but that's how good he's playing. And that's how good he is, and he just keeps things incredibly simple. He doesn't mess around with
his golf swing. As golf coach Randy Smith, they've been together, you know, since he was a junior. They're very low key. Scotty's incredibly low key off the golf course. I think all of that helps him. And he's a very kind of unassuming kind of guy. But you could tell that he had game right, you could tell that he was good. We played Brooks, played a practice round with him in Aaron Hills. They share the same agent, Blake Smith, and this was when Scotty was still at the University of Texas.
They share the same agent, Blake Smith. Blake Smith's father. One guess who his father is, Randy Smith. That's his coach. Right. Everything is simple, everything's kind of under the radar. You never hear him beat in his chest. You never hear any controversy, you never hear any you know, any negative things about Scotty. He's one of the most likable. He's Tom Hanks, right, I mean, he's one of the most
likable people on tour. But he's a competitor. He has a big time game and everybody was thinking that Rory was going to get. When Roy started winning majors early in his career, everybody thought Rory was going to get to double digits. I think Scotty Scheffler can get the double digits. I think he can win multiple I think he can clip off years where he wins, you know, two majors in a year like Brooks, Koepka has, like
some of the great players, like Tiger Woods has. But I haven't seen anyone play golf like this in a long long time. And I haven't seen anyone make golf look as kind of stress free and easy as Scotti Scheffler had. We've had Gary Woodland on the pod, and was recording a pod earlier the day with Gary Woodland and some of the people from Volition, the clothing line. He wears we'll put that out later this summer. But he had a really unique take on kind of Scotty
how he plays, how the course was set up. He got to Bryson for the first two rounds and he had a ringside seat to Bryson leading the tournament and playing some great golf, but wanted to kind of get his take on the course set up, what the week was like, and kind of get his kind of take on Scotty Scheffler. This is what Gary Woodland, who won the US Open out at Pebble Beach, this is what he had to say about a guy that's now a
two time major champion. You've won a major champion in the US Open, you know how difficult it is to win these. That's two for Scotty now two at Augusta. He is playing golf g dub in a way right now, which I got to be honest with you, I haven't seen anyone have this much control and make it look this easy in a while. What impresses you the most?
And it was funny yesterday morning I was sitting having coffee with Shane Lowry and Shane said he played in the final group with him at Bayhill when he won, and he's like, yeah, he hits good shots that every tour player hits. But he said the most impressive thing about what Scotty is doing right now, and I wonder if you agree is and this isn't a knock, is how unimpressive it looks Rory when he's in full flow. It's impressive because he's hitting the ball, he's doing things
that other people can't do dj can do that. John Rahm can do that. They can overpower golf course. You've been able to do that in your career with the driver. But Scotty just hits so many quality golf shots that are twenty feet fifteen feet. They're not the hero shots. I mean, what do you think he's doing right now that is letting him play on this run.
I'd agree with that assessment, especially when you're playing with him like he doesn't. It doesn't look amazing. I don't watch a ton of golf, and I watched this weekend and watching him play this weekend, I'm like, holy cow, this is unbelievable. Like he hits every shot where he's trying to hit it. The distance control is an absolute joke. And I've known Scotty since he was six years old. I worked with Randy Smith for a long time. He grew up there. I've seen him since he was six
years old. And you can say this about a lot of kids, We're like, this kid got it, man, He's just absolutely got it from six, Like he grew up around tour pros out there watching Randy Smith give lessons. He's had putting lessons and shipping lessons with I mean practice competitions with tour pro since he was walking like the kid. And he just handles himself, and that's what I would respect him. Obviously, have a great family. He
just handles himself so beautifully. He always says nothing's changing him, and it doesn't. Man, He's the same person now as he was when he was six years old, and I love that about him. I love Scotty to death, But watching him on TV, I will say, I mean, I played with Scotty earlier this year. I was so much more impressed with everything he does watching him on TV, because you know where the SHOT's supposed to go, and
that's where he hits it. So when you're playing with him, like, ah, you hit it to time twenty ft fifteen feet, but watching it on TV, like that's the only place he can hit it, and he does it is distance controlled. Coming down the stretch yesterday was as good as I've seen, you know, maybe in a long long time.
Well, I was watching, and I was watching with some people, and right around that front nine it got really really close and everybody's tied. It looked like Ludwig's gonna make a move. And I said, when he when Scotty ted off the back nine, I was like, guys, you realize he wins this by four And everybody's like, what the hell are you talking about. I'm like, I promise you
he is gonna win this by four shots. Because going down to Amen corner and we saw this, it happened same thing, you know, that kind of Amen corner again. It was like when Tiger won in nineteen. We saw everyone else mess it up. And we know Scotty is playing Tiger like golf right now to where he's not gonna He's gonna make some mistakes, but he's not going to shoot himself in the foot. And for his nice and his kind of Tom Hanks is, he's got this Tom Hanks kind of care. He is a fierce competitor.
Like his personality outwardly the all shucks kind of all American, good old boy, just always saying the right thing and smiling. It belibs the fact that he wants to rip your heart out and he is a fear s fearce competitor.
And he said yesterday when he got done, he's getting ready to have a baby, which I'm so happy for him to have his first child. And he's like, you know, with my wife and my family and now my baby. You know, golf's going to be fourth on the list. But I love to compete. Yeah, he loves to step on people's throats, and that's what he's been doing really for the last two years. When it comes down right now, he's the best player in the world, and I don't
think it's closed right now. He just loves to compete in battle, and I don't He's young, too, so hopefully he stays healthy and this could be a very dominant run for a long time.
So, I mean, yeah, there's a guy that's one one a major before, you know, one of the longest hitters in the game, and he's just heaping heaping praise on Scotti Scheffler, how good of a player he is. And he's known him, as he said, I mean, he's known him a very very long time. He's known him since he was six years old. He used to work with Randy, and I do think that the simplicity is very very important in what he does. But it was a really
really special Masters Tiger Woods, coming back making the cut. Listen, I honestly didn't know what we were gonna get from Tiger, and you know when you watch him warm up, if you when you watch him, I mean, the weather did not help Tiger, right, I mean I think if if Tiger could have gotten some if he didn't have to play over twenty holes on that Friday morning, I think maybe we get a little bit out of it. I mean, the golf swings still looked good, and the golf swings
that didn't look good. To me, it looked like it was more his body than anything else. The quick turnarounds. His trainer, Kolby Tellier, I've had him on the pod, did one with he and Joey d I talked to him and he said his body is is taking to the taking to the treatments better. He's able to recover faster. They still have to do a lot of work to get teed up ready, but I thought it was a win for Tiger, especially after what happened out a Riviera.
I thought Tiger coming back and playing the way he played on a body that listen, it's still not great, it's still a work in progress, but it was impressive. The short game was a joke, right, I mean some of the short I mean he hit a he hit a little soft, little pitching wedge. I want to say it was either. I think it was Friday. He had a little pitching wedge in there from a short distance. One bounce stopped it. I mean it was just vintage Tiger.
He had a beautiful, beautiful chip on eleven down the start of a man corner, hit it right on the front edge and just hit this beautiful little pitch checks in. Listen. Tiger's short game has always been a joke, right, It's ridiculous, and he knows how to play, Augusta. I think right now it's a case of, you know, he feels like he can play, he feels like he can win, he feels like he can compete, but there is still a scent a part of his body that just doesn't allow it.
So I'm excited to see. I mean, that is the toughest test that we're going to see for Tiger, right for tetub to get four rounds around there with the hills and Tiger, you know, in talking to his the guys on his team, the foot on a flat surface works, but when it starts to move around his right foot and he's on slopes and he's on hills and stuff like that, so I think Pinehurst sets up great for him. It's flat, it links truon where they'll play the Open
Championship this year sets up great for him. Flat and there aren't a ton of hills at Valhalla where the PGA will be. So a really really good showing from from Tiger. Shout out to Max Holme. Maxhoma been on the pod before, but pretty impressive, right. I mean Max's game, Uh, the work that he's done with Mark Blackburn. I like his golf swing. I think he's gonna have more chances
to win. He was right there at the turn. I mean he got at seven under two back Scottie Scheffler, you know when they were just making the turn and unfortunately bogie twelve or double bogie twelve and then you know, made some bogies coming in finishes four under seven back, but he was right there. I thought it was a really really good Masters. I mean, obviously with the Masters, given the current state of the PGA Tour versus Live, everybody was talking about how the live guys would play well.
Ricen's leading after the first round finished, the top ten, Cam Smith came in not a lot of form, wasn't feeling well he finished the top ten. Teryl hatton top ten. So three of the guys, three guys on live finished the top ten. Yeah, they didn't win, but I don't know.
I think if your narrative is that these guys can't compete, you got three guys on live playing in the top ten, and one thing I will say, I don't like to do this, but uh, last week I heard a lot of the commentators that were commentating on the broadcast saying that they didn't know how the live guys were playing
because they weren't able to see them. If you are hired by a broadcast network to commentate on television or on radio at a major championship at the Masters, isn't it your job to kind of know what everybody's doing and how everybody's been playing. But I heard so many times last week, Yeah, we just don't know how these guys are playing. If you want to know how they're playing,
you can find out. I mean, if Duke gets to the final, gets to the national championship game for March Madness, and you've got a team that isn't a big team, isn't a big conference, and makes Cinderella run plays not in a big conference. Isn't playing on TV all the time? Is it acceptable for you to go, Yeah, I just have never seen them play. You've got to do your homework, right,
You've got to do some work. And I thought last week it was kind of a joke that a bunch of the commentators were just like, yeah, we just we don't know how they're playing. If you don't know how the guy's on Liver playing, that's because you're choosing not to watch. And that's and listen, that's fine, that's your choice. But if it's your job to commentate, shouldn't you know and shouldn't you do some homework and shouldn't you want to know these guys are playing seen as they're gonna
be in this this first major. So I just thought that was a bit I thought that was a bit much, to be honest with you. I saw I heard a bunch of people say, yet you know the guys on live from Yeah, we don't really know how they're playing. You can find out how they're playing, and yeah, if you don't think the competition they're playing against is is worthwhile And don't think that that gets them ready. I think that says more about you than it does about them.
There are enough good players, major champions, some of the best players in the world, former world number ones. You know, the guys playing on live in twenty four versus the first year. It's very different, and there's some great players there. There's some great players everywhere in golf. There's some great
players on the PJ Jar. My point in all of this is, if you're going to commentate, it's your job to do your homework, and I think some people just kind of hid behind the fact that, oh, well, we don't know how to live guys are playing and we never watch them on TV. You didn't do your homework and you didn't do your job. In my opinion, some really good other stories, Like I said, I was really impressed with the way that Colin Morikawa plays. Listen, the
guy's won two majors. If you would have won last week, he's one win away from the Grand Slam. Nice little return to form for Tyroll Hatton. I mean he said at the beginning of the week or at the end of the live week in Durrau, he had no chance to win, and the guy finish his top ten. I love him. He's hilarious. Will zlatorres good to see him back playing. The back looks better. The guy seems to show up in major championships, which leads me to believe that he's got big time game.
Right.
If you if your game shows up in the majors, you can play, You can really really play, you can get the job done, you can hit the right shots. He's had a bunch of second place finishes in majors, and now that he healthy, I think we will see him start to show the form that everybody expects of him. So after a long layoff, it was really really cool to kind of see him come back. But as I said last week, the golf course for me is always the star of the show. It is always the star
of what everybody does. And yeah, I mean it's just such an iconic, iconic golf course. And the way that you have to play the golf course, the way that you have to get around the golf course, it's you have to think your way around it. And I think that's why it's so difficult, right, It's that's why it's so hard to put on a green jacket. It is much of a test of what you're doing on the golf course as much as what you're doing off the golf course, and I think that is a big part
of the story every single year. Yeah, it's a great test and we have a great champion in Scotty Scheffler. I was recording another podcast which Gary Woodland is going to be a part of Out of a come out
this summer, but Gary talked about Scotty Scheffler. He talked about the conditions and he was in that kind of late early wave on Thursday, and it was really cool to kind of get someone he played with Bryson the first two days, got to get his take on how Bryson's playing, but he had a ringside seat for what
the conditions were on the most difficult day. And I think it's really cool that we get an opportunity to listen to Gary Woodland talk about the conditions in that kind of craziness that was, you know, late Thursday, early Friday. Here's what Gary had to say about those conditions. G dub tell us your thoughts. How hard was that golf course on Friday?
It was as hard as I've ever seen. I was my twelfth time playing the Masters earlier in the week. It was absolutely perfect. It was obviously it's always in good shape. But it was absolutely perfect. The golf course was firm and fast. I'd never seen it that firm
and fast earlier in the week. And then obviously the weather that they were expected to get most of it went south, so that we dodged that bullet, and then the golf course when the wind came in, it really dried out what rain we did get, and it was it was brutal. I mean, it was as tough. Obviously, Scotty played amazing. I saw Friday was his highest round of the year. He had seventy two, but it was
probably his best round of the year. I mean, all things considered, it was firm and fast, and when the wind comes in blowing like that and gusting, it was it was. It was a tough test for sure.
You know, getub for everyone listening. The rounds on Friday took you know, over six hours. People watch that and they're like, how can rounds take that long? When you're out there in that type of wind on that type of golf course. One of the hardest golf courses ever created. The way they set it up for you all to play is so so difficult. What was the difficulty for you and your caddy. Butchery out there. Was it getting the wind? Was it waiting for the wind gusts to
die down? I mean, obviously there are so many holes at Augusta get up where precision with yardages twelve, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen, all of those holes on the back you have to be perfect with where you're landing the golf ball, which is made when it's blown forty it's so difficult to do that.
Yeah, here, I believe we need to play faster. I get all that. I don't know if we could have played faster on Friday, I really don't. It was gusting and blowing so hard. When there's so much at stake, six hours, it seemed like we're out there for four years, trust me, especially when you're hitting as many golf shots as I was hitting. But like you said, the gusting, the precision you got to have on twelve, you got
to have even on the t shots on thirteen. Now when they move that back and you got all the trouble left fifteen, you're coming in, you know, even in whether it's the wet shot or you're coming in for a second shot over that water. If you miss it anywhere you're in it's just the end of the world. So it was absolutely brutal, and the gusting trying to putt, you know, when the greens are so fast, I mean
you're worried. You obviously want to make it, and you're like, if I miss this, this goes two feet by the hole. If it's down wind, I mean, it's going sixty feet away. So it's just there was so much more that went into it than just playing a normal around of golf. I mean, my ball on sixteen. I had had a six footer on sixteen that blew sixty feet away twice and we had to replace it both times. I mean it was just gus coming and you're trying to putt
and you're backing off. I mean it was. It was as hard a round of golf conditions wise, that I've played in for sure.
Were you surprised? I mean was there a point, Gub at some point where you guys and the group were like, I mean, should we even be playing right now, given the fact that the balls were moving and stuff, and you guys are so worried about addressing a ball on a putting green and grounding your putter, and then the thing moves and stuff. I mean, was there any talk of do they think that maybe they're going to pull you guys off the golf course just because it was so windy.
Oh? We talked about that very early in the round, you know. And I think it was tough because the conditions were tough throughout the day. I think if it would have been soft in the morning the wind wise and then picked up later in the day, maybe they would have stopped it. But everyone played in it. I mean, we got on eighteen green, which was our last hole. In the front third of that green was complete white with sand and somebody's like, well, did they top dress
this green to slow it down? I'm like, this is coming from the bunker like this is blowing out. I mean, was I backed off on eighteen because I was getting hit with leaves in the face when they're blowing so hard while you're playing, Like it was it was madness out there. They were very good and having blowers on all the greens because the greens were covered every group. They're blowing the greens off in between groups because of
the leaves everything on the green. It was it was madness, But I don't think it could have blown a mile hour harder without them stopping, they would have had to stop it. I mean it was it was very, very close, I think to be in stopped multiple times.
You played with Bryce in the first two rounds. He was leading after the first round GEDV. I mean, obviously Bryson used to be a Cobra puma guy, so you've spent a lot of time around him. I think his game has changed a lot in the last three years from when he was trying to do the long drive. Would you agree that he seems much more the complex. I think he's a better player now than when he won the US Open. I think he has much more
command and control over what he's doing. What did you see out there from Bryson that you noticed was different?
Oh, I think he's he was in much more control of everything than he was doing than I've ever seen. I mean, he he wasn't trying to overpowered. I was listening to him and his gutty talked like on eighteen it was straight down wind, blowing forty on Thursday and he was talking, Oh, the bunker's only three forty, should we try to take it over? And I'm like, yes, yes, try to hit it over. And he ends up hitting five wood into a bunker that was still three hundred
yards away. He hits five wood, and I mean what he's able to do is unbelievable. But what people don't talk about much is he's been one of the best putters in the world for a long time. I mean, he absolutely rolls it so nice. It allows him to tinker and to do other things because he putts it so good. And that was unfold display. He rolled it so nice, but he drove it well. He just was in control. He didn't try to do sometimes before he can.
Maybe he had so much power and speed that he tried to do some things maybe that weren't the best at the time, but because he could, he didn't try to do any of that. Last week he was in control of his game, which was it was impressive to watch.
So Gary woodland U champion out at Pebble Beach. Talking about Bryson d Chambeau got his first major at wingfoot. I think Bryson's matured a lot. I think Bryson's learning how to play. There's always going to be the scientist in Bryson. He had, you know, new irons last week that have bulge on the toe. Those just got approved. He's always going to be tinkering, and like g Doub said, I mean he's a great putter. I mean he's always
been a great putter, so believe it or not. If the ball striking and he can hit greens, Bryson's a threat around Augusta. I mean we saw that and one of the leaders through the first two rounds. So cool to hear someone that played with him kind of get a gauge of where his game was, but also get a gauge on what it was like out there playing and all of that.
Win.
I know might be a bold statement, but a Scotti Scheffler is still sitting on two majors in twenty twenty five, I'm gonna be shocked. I expect him to be two more. I think by the end of twenty twenty five, I could see Scotty Schefler with four, five, six majors. That's how good this kid is. That is how good he plays. The game is just simple. He makes it look easy. Everyone says the putting is the weakness and was going
in the final round. I think it was mid thirties and putting middle of you know nothing, fancy he was what twenty fourth and strokes gained approach, so iron game wasn't necessarily important on point. The guy wins by four. The guy wins by four with not his best stuff,
not firing on all cylinders. And I one hundred percent expect Scotty Scheffler on the back nine on Sunday in the PGA, in the in the US Open and the Open Championship in Scotland at Troon, I expect him to have a chance to win with nine holes to play. That's just he is that guy. Now, he is the favorite. He is the guy to beat. And I don't even think it's close. Who's the best player in the world right now? It's I mean it's not close. It's Scotty
Scheffler And shout out to his caddy, Teddy. Scott. Teddy is now caddied and been a part of four Masters victories, two for Bubba Watson, two for Scotty Scheffler, and I think he has made an enormous impact on Scotty. They're very similar type people, both on the golf course and off the golf course. Scotty's kind of a calm guy on the golf course. Teddy Scott's kind of a calm guy. They're perfect for each other for a caddy combination. Scotty and Teddy Scott are perfect for each other. They are
the brooks Keka Ricky Elliott, you know player caddy. Those two are perfect for each other. Scotty Scheffler and Teddy Scott are absolutely perfect. I think he's made a big
impact on his game. Yeah, Scotty hits all the shots, but I definitely think that the addition to Scotty Scheffler's bag in bringing on a couple of years ago Teddy Scott was a genius move and is paid dividends, and Scotty Scheffler is going to make Teddy Scott a very, very, very wealthy individual because he's just gonna keep winning golf tournaments. Are we close now to maybe saying this is a VJ. Singh type run, whereas that year VJ won what like
seven nine tournaments in the year. I mean, the sky is the limit for Scotty Scheffler. You just he's gonna have chances to win Rory with another chance to try and get the Grand Slammed, try and get the elusive green jacket. Made some changes, went out and spent some time with my old man. I don't know windy conditions. Yeah, I mean Rory even though he is from Ireland. I mean, he's not a win specialist like a guy like Darren Clark is or a guy like Shane Lowry is. So
when the conditions get tough at times. For as great as he is, and you guys have heard me talk about this, I mean I think Roy macro was the guy's one of the greatest players of this generation and his game is as good as it gets, but there are times where you know he doesn't get it done where everybody expects him to. And listen, this is not new ground. I mean Greg Norman. Regardless what you think about Greg Norman in twenty twenty four, you can put
all that beside. Greg Norman was a hell of a golfer and he never won the Masters, and the Masters was a golf course which you would think would be set up perfectly for his game. I can't think of a better golf course set up for the way Rory McRoy plays golf. Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer never won the PGA. They were great players, they won multiple majors. They are seen as some of the greatest players of all times.
Sometimes you just don't win all the tournaments that you're supposed to, and some of the ones that you want the most maybe are just a little out of your reach. So there's a little surprise. I thought Rory would play a little better. I thought a little bit of the confidence boost with some of the stuff that he was working with my dad, but charman on but the Achilles heel right now tends to be Augusta for Rory. And
I think this trip he tried. I heard rumors no family, just came up by himself, he was going to try and do that. I still think he's gonna win one. I don't know when, I don't know how. I think he's gonna win one because of the game he has, Right, there's a big difference between someone that's you know, never won a major, hasn't really won a lot of golf tournaments, and you think, yeah, they could win a major. Yeah
anybody could win one. I mean sure, but you just think that Rory McRoy, you just think he's gonna win a Masters. But every year that goes by, the pressure gets more and more. So Scotti Scheffler is the Master's Champion two time Masters champion, two time major winner, number one in the world. And I'll keep saying it. The guy's just gonna keep winning majors. He's gonna keep winning majors, and I think he's gonna be number one in the world for a little bit more than a minute. Listen,
Augusta is always a great week. It was great TV if you're a fan of golf. I think I said this last week. We needed this right, We needed a major. We needed a major. And listen, We're gonna keep having majors, and whether you like it or not, you are gonna have live guys that play well because they're good players. I mean, that's just it's just that's a reality. It's not my opinion. That's facts. And the facts back it up in that you've got three guys inside the top ten.
So and I keep saying this. You don't have to choose. You can watch your golf wherever you want to watch golf. If you want to watch great players, you watch guys play on the PGA Tour. You can watch people play dp Asia Live, LPGA Champs Tour. You don't have to choose. You watch golf wherever you want to watch it.
