The food love the drinks but we also love the the simulators and love the the atmosphere to talk Golf and huge huge stuff leaking uh this week huge stuff coming out uh Poss I mean this is to me this is on the level of like Tiger Woods uh from a hype standpoint Tiger

Woods playing in a golf tournament there’s rumors that Anthony Kim AK Y is returning to golf uh we feel like it’s probably going to be the PGA Tour we always thought it would be the live tour um but I mean we’re talking Twitter’s buzzing there’s a video clip of him on

The Range out there uh I mean it’s big I mean it’s expectations are going to be unreasonable completely unreasonable yes I mean he has not played competitive I don’t know what he’s been doing as far as his time off apparently he hasn’t lost his game because he began the

Negotiations with PGA and Liv uh to talk to them so now that that’s out there clearly he’s got the game to compete or he would have never somebody say shot a 62 like practicing recently uh I’ve always wondered so the question has always been why you know why did he step

Away and and I think we kind of all it it all kind of tracked with it was a little bit like mental type oh I think pressure pressure mental um mental health type issues well there’s there’s there’s been speculation that there’s insurance policies that were tied to

That and like not playing oh so do you want to come back because you’re maybe making more from that then you and then that’s all the big rumor was that was a 10year deal well if you look at it I think 2014 was his last oh it’s exactly 10 years if he

Comes back this year exactly 10 years so is that just a rumor we don’t know we definitely left for some sort of mental health reason but who cares he is the most interesting without a doubt story golfer in golf because with tiger we know what we got we got total dominance

In the early 2000s late 90s early 2000s then we had the whole let your wife knock your window out and put you in the hospital and you go on hiatus for a while and then the broken leg and then they come back and then the other broken

Leg now that we’re dealing with and the difference is the difference is we knew where tiger was Anthony just we don’t even know where we don’t know where he lives he doesn’t have social media he’s like he’s like an enigma he even even when he was they showed the footage of

Him playing when he teed off the other day they just basically showed a t-ball he never addressed a camera he never addressed any person he just hit it and he just kind of sacheted down the Fairway like just another day of playing golf and I can you imagine if you’re at

Your Club you’re Au Club Anthony Kim just comes up and he just this is what people said he’s been doing you guys mind up about jump in are you serious right now yeah he’s like the he’s like the uh just like a a mystery superhero here’s what I love though people have

Respect they said he’s done that you talk about people have social media you hadn’t seen any post you hadn’t seen any share so I wonder if he gets there and he’s like I only got one request like let’s not make this a big deal please and people have honored it cuz no

Kidding Kyle I have not seen where Anthony Kim has been in 10 years except for there was a sighting cuz I noticed he had like a sleeve tattoo yeah I saw that he was like at a bar or something like that and took a selfie with

Somebody sit there going oh wow so he’s just hanging out on living off his money and drinking and partying and having a good time but apparently he’s been practicing golf too so yeah that that never stopped I did wonder if Liv was a viable option cuz he’s a big team guy

Like he loved Rider cup President’s Cup all that stuff so big team guy I didn’t know if he that would kind of float his boat now that you’ve mentioned insurance policy he may not have a choice it may have to be the PGA Tour cuz they basically floated him for 10 years and

Said he may owe it to him speak kind of and he’s I mean he does seem like a good speaking of Team like a good team guy SL all right I’ll pay my debt I’ll come back I’ll be um but man here’s my thing forget 2024 let’s

Just get him in get him settled 2025 he and tiger walking down Augusta on 18 together we got to get him qualified for Augusta first because uh he I assume that world ranking is oh there’s no way non-existent the good news is if he joins the BJ tour again he

Will have an a sponsor exemption to any event he wants to play in so like he becomes the biggest draw of the PGA Tour yes M other than tiger like immediately I mean there people already there there are designs floating out now on social media of the belt buckles he needs to be

Wearing I hope we’re pass that I I I don’t want to remember AKA with the belt buckles that was I like new AKA with the long hair slim fit stuff looking you know athletic hoodie that’s the AK like I like the baggy pants Oh God that was

Terrible that was terrible I like the baggie pants with the big belt buckle and uh let’s shave the head no absolutely not if he doesn’t have long hair I’m rooting against you he air both of them going long hair when they both made their comebacks and golf the videos

He’s had long hair yeah he has he’s had long hair and there’s been a hoodie involved and two is going to sponsor there man no Nike how stupid was that Nike’s getting out of the deal with tiger about to come back and play regularly and AK coming back your two

Biggest money makers in golf and you’re like you know what and it’s not like they’re going out of business they just signed somebody we were talking about it last time they just signed somebody that they um I think I sent you a post or something that a current player just

Signed with Nike so they’re not getting out of the apparel business they just could come to a terms with tiger and it doesn’t look like they’re coming to terms with AK so so that that’ll be a story story line what sponsor does he show up with he does Play Taylor BS he’s

I’m sure he’s a Taylor B guy for sure uh so that’ll be fun to watch and then Max hom this is what’s this is what we was interesting we we always talked about like what would live pay Max is the PGA Tour leaker he is a leaker in case y’all

Are wondering he can’t help himself now he does hide it in his tweets but he still tweets out information that he probably shouldn’t tweet out an example when he said said how Wild it would it be if John ROM came out to his live press conference in that live letter

Live and he did it and he always throws out little things like there to kind of give you a hint well he basically said this is the way the negotiations have been going with Anthony Kim PGA Tour please join our Tour live tour please join our tour and here’s $500

Million so people that don’t people that don’t pay attention may think ah he’s just throwing that number out there no no that is probably more than likely that is an incredibly legit number AK $500 million and I got to be honest if I’m AK I don’t even know how good I’m going

To be I there’s no way I don’t take there’s no way I don’t take that unless I legally can’t there’s no way maybe you know what he probably could do he probably could pay back everything the PGA tour for 500 million there’s no way they gave him over $100 million so he

Can probably be like you know what I’ll do it for 400 million you guys cut a check to the PGA for 100 million I’m there um and it may happen I mean there’s nothing set in stone yet who knows what in the negoti there’s still it’s all kle on the way over here

There’s and this is jumping ahead a little bit but there’s still some negotiations going on cuz Liv’s wanting to avoid getting in trouble with the Department of Justice and some government stuff so uh there is rumor that a deal is close and with that close

Deal it looks like Liv will be able to a separate entity which this goes back to what Kyle and I said the live guys are getting the steal on this because they’re getting paid millions and when they merge it’ll have their own separate en so they can still play events on the

PGA tour since it’s a merger because apparently it’s a $3 billion was the number that got thrown out there wow $3 billion merger so don’t think that Liv’s going to give the PGA Tour 3 billion dollars and their players ain’t going to be able to play on the PGA tour it’s

Going to happen oh yeah so it’s the ROMs the the you know the the DJs of the world the Brooks kepas of the world they honestly they all look like Geniuses right now because when 2025 rolls around if this deal is set in stone like they say it probably

Is in order to avoid the governmental interference they’re going to get to play both tours and all the PJ guys that turned it down suckers suckers no I mean uh sucks to be poor but I will say golf needed this badly mhm the PGA Tour really needs this badly

Because you know you only got tiger for 12 12 events Max you said that which may AK may not be any different but you’re losing guys like John R Brooks Kea D just Dustin Johnson You See Fields like you saw which we’re going to discuss a

Little bit later at the farmers uh this week that just was you know Tony fow’s like the only guy on the top of the lead you know who it is uh and and then the elevated events that kill those events even worse like and again that we’re

Going to talk like you need something like this golf needs AK right now so I’m I cannot wait I honestly tried to go back and think I know he want the Wells Fargo was his big yeah Wells Fargo and then the Ryder Cup where he said he was

Going to beat that ass to Sergio and he did and he did he did uh uh that’s probably his big highlights but it was always like man he’s going to be the next next big thing the Charisma and everything that went along with it uh

Well and he he had that all Shucks you know the the tape that always goes out that gets shared is he and tiger on the Range in La yeah and tiger asking him questions like technical questions and he ain’t got a clue and he’s going I

Just swing it dude man I I just I know when I do this the ball does this and Tiger’s like but why do you choke up on I don’t know just feels good the way I choke up on the club that’s why I do that and he’s like but do you decide on

Distance no no he’s like I’m a feel that far he literally he he doesn’t even need a cad he said he’s a field like he looks at a shot and it doesn’t matter if it’s 180 yards you know if that’s me I’m hitting a six or a five iron AK is like

Just give me the eight and he still sticks it pin high like he doesn’t he doesn’t have a cad over there doing a bunch of numbers he’s a field player and maybe I don’t know I I he’s just he’s a he’s a breath of fresh air for golf come

Back uh he’s like all of us he’s still only he’s he can’t be more than like what 35 like mid-30s oh yeah he’s way he’s 40 years old I mean because when I was watching him I mean I was already in my mid to late 20s so so sorry technical difficulties told

You we had new set up doing all that kind of stuff still learning yeah we’re still trial by fire you know what I mean but what I was saying is he’s got to be somewhere in his 30s I mean he can’t he can’t be over 40 years old now thing I

Looked it up he’s 38 so oh which is I honestly thought he was younger than that so but still I mean third I still thought 35 so we’re not far off I mean I thought 30 I thought 30 mid-30s and um again bre the fresh air I look forward

And being on tour I think tons of people are going to be tuning in On th that’s why the PGA Tour needs him oh yeah viewership on Thursday and Friday that they ain’t been getting and as Kyle said we’ll talk about it because all these dagum elevated events and then they

Decided to because of football even move last week’s tournament up a day which I told Kyle I didn’t even realize it until I started watching the tournament on Thursday and they were like day two I’m like what day two so yeah and I get it because of football and all that kind of

Stuff ratings but um LPGA to tour didn’t Ellie fla shout out nice job big win yeah so conspiracy theory did did did the PGA tour thow throw a bunch of money at AK to get him to come back or do you think this is just he wanted to come back I

Think he wanted to come back you don’t think this was a if he goes with if he goes with a PGA Tour you don’t think this was like the PGA Tours El Mary in this scenario to maybe somehow win no but I think they use their assets

I mean he and tiger were so close I bet they got tiger to reach out to him and be like hey you know you can come out here and you can make a difference and yeah you know what you but as far as throwing money no man cuz they get

Caught doing that that’s just going to I’m a conspiracy theorist there this is the PGA Tour is is desperate right now think somebody cut a check Big Time cut the check he thinks that AK is on nil money with a PGA Tour there you go there you go look

Uh before we talk about our next topic guy another guy joining uh the Liv tour I think they pretty much finalized everything now they have their full roster set I want to give a shout out to bad birdies Golf Apparel uh use coupon code dad’s 15 dad plural dads 15 for 15%

Off literally every single uh order you have from now until eternity um the whole staff here wears uh mad birdie stuff so like it’s it’s great for it’s great for the golf course it’s great for just casual wear they got stuff for the cold weather they got stuff for the warm

Weather their hats are fantastic check them out bad birdie golf apparel it’s where fashion starts it’s not there slogan but that’s what we but I’m going to say it that’s what it is all right so there’s a lot of speculation about who was going to be the last member the last

Live guy that was that was added to the uh rotation this this season uh and I think they they threw one final hell Mary at Victor hin and he he turned it down one more time I don’t know why but he did he turned it down one more time

The reigning FedEx Cup points champion uh and they settled on the number 16 player in the world t t hat um on the surface is probably a n i don’t think but I think globally especially in Europe that’s a huge a huge ad again number 16 player in

The world so uh I think the rumored um the rumored money was somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 60 million he’s probably on the back I mean he’s ner there’s no doubt he’s on the back nine of uh his career he’s got to be I would

Imagine he’s in his upper 30s I’m not going to look because I don’t want to shut this whole thing down again but uh I would imagine he’s in his upper 30s but man can you imagine the hot mics you could catch uh between and he’s on John

ROM’s team uh between roh and Hatton uh and maybe they spice it up even more for yes for for the lift well they were uh they were teammates um on the uh on the Ridder cup um apparently uh been roommates before whenever they’ve been out and about played in like President’s

Cup events and that kind of thing so I mean it makes sense I mean they’re just it looks like the two of them are two peas in a pot they both have tempers which um I don’t know how much ROM’s going to show that with now with live

Just because it seems a little bit more easygo with the music and uh the little bit lower crowds and that kind of stuff stuff but uh it should be interesting Terrell Hatton I think he gets mad just waking up and having to chip balls so I

Think he’s going to be super upset at some point and the unedited versions on YouTube should be quite the spectacular of the hot mics that Terell Hatton throws out there does uh so the roster being said do you feel like this was a how would you rate I guess lives off

Seon on 1 to 10 eight and a half to nine I mean with r makes him a nine just just him and Terrell I mean it’s not a 10 cuz they missed out on hin who was the F so they can get everything they wanted but

I mean you get the number one player in the world and you get the number 16 player in the world and you put them on the same team and there’s a several Global pieces that they added uh younger guys uh and we talked about they probably there was rumors that uh gosh

What was the amateurs kids name that just won that won the tournament oh the B kid yeah they threw him threw 25 million at him like there were several guys like that that they went after Dunlap Dunlap Nick Dunlap and then they got one guy that His Name Escapes me but

Regardless they they they I saw their four editions they got four additions I only recognized Terell and the one other guy as far as name wise um but the other two guys are like European tour players that apparently a lot of Europeans know so um it’s a

Global League it’s a global that’s what they label it as a global golf league and they’ve made some strategic hire I would Man ROM to me makes it almost it’s hard not to make it a 10 it is I mean you can argue that that’s they the

Bigger draw the biggest draw of the whole tour is going to be John R Brooks is huge Dustin’s huge Phil’s huge M you know Harold Varner’s big like all those guys are big but like John R is is those guys are also big very big in the United

States John R’s big in the United States as well as everywhere else yeah I mean you’re essentially talking about the best player in the world that that you added I mean it’s hard not to say that that’s not a huge win so so it’ll be interesting to see I guess the CW is

Still I wish like Netflix or Amazon Prime or somebody like that would pick it up and all I can say is if you want to watch it you’re probably your Best Bets going to be YouTube I mean I saw some stats and figures the other day where they were talking about qu cutting

The cord and what the younger generation’s doing and I mean right now YouTube is making far more money than they made more money this past year than ESPN the Golf Channel uh networks did better than them like NBC CBS but uh as far as cable is concerned and where you

Would watch other game other rounds of golf um YouTube seems to be a way to go plus as I said you get it edited so you’re going to see John Rob throw a hissy fit you see Terrell Hatton throw a hissy fit um sure Brooks kept going drop

A couple of f boms here and there whenever he’s out in the battle tour so Brooks Brooks went back to the uh high and tight got rid of got rid of the mullet he’s back to the like mullet yeah I don’t know it didn’t look good on here I

Like the I like his mullet reminded me of when he was in Florida State cuz all the old pictures they show he had the mullet at Florida State uh which is kind of funny because I don’t tour here locally one guy that sticks out my mind Jason duffner who you know is still

Trying to get back and get his card but he did have a run there for a while on PGA Tour people forget when he played college golf at Al because I was helping out with sport BL moment was it no he bleached it I mean he bleached it and

Then he shaved it like he went bald I didn’t even know the man had hair till he came out on tour and he like grew it out because his freshman year he like dyed it freshman sophomore year he like dyed it blonde and then he shaved it I

Can’t stop eating this stuffff I know it’s delicious and then he shaved it after that and was bald and I was like oh he must cuz a lot of college golfers when they start losing the hair they just go ahead and shave it it’s just a

Whole lot easier to do and so I thought oh he must be losing his hair already so he shaves and then the very first time I saw him on tour he had hair like down to his shoulders I was like what in the world’s going on here so uh cuz he had

Here like the length of mind and Kyle’s in college his freshman in sophomore year and then he shaved it off and then I guess at some point in time when he was and the what was then the web.com tour before he qualified to P he grew

His hair out so kept just the opposite he went in with a mullet and now he’s going high and tight I like it I like it I like clean cut uh Brooks uh I’m actually pretty pumped for the Liv tour this year I’m pretty pumped to for it to

Get kicked off uh should get kicked off here pretty quick we have the um Pebble Beach which will be the um first elevated event which we’re going to talk about here uh in just a second uh finally your golf season feels like you had the farmers this past weekend

Finally golf is back it feels like it’s back you’re done with all these D like these this Hawaii Hawaii stuff that nobody watches or cares about like we’re getting into these big we’re going to get into these big vents you’re going to have Pebble Beach you’re going to have

Riviera um and then you know before you know it it’s Waste Management waste management and then before you know it it’s going to be the players championship and then the Masters so uh golf season really seems to be kicking off getting kicked off now feels feels

Like it’s being kicked off so so uh it’s going to be a lot of fun to talk about I got I’m not going to ask Kyle cuz Kyle’s um geographically he is he sucks at geography I am curious cuz I remember a lot of people flew into Vegas to go to

The national championship game in Phoenix 2013 so I’m wondering this could be the next now that Vegas has a football team this could be the next like guys getaway they could do the waste management open on Thursday Friday Saturday and then go to the Super Bowl

On Sunday in Vegas which I think it’s only like a 4our drive away if if that it may not even be that maybe more than that I’m not sure I just know a lot of people flew into Vegas to go to Phoenix for national championship games so that

May be an option seem like a long drive yeah that may seems like it’ be a long dve now I flew into Vegas to drive to La Drive I don’t know I could be way wrong my geography sucks I need I can’t believe you just volunteered that

Information I’m taking a step out right now so I which which I probably should and uh but yeah it’s um that that that could be a great weekend so uh PGA Tour we just talked about getting kicked off um we’re really about we’re about to get into what What’s called the elevated

Event season where the PGA Tour is their competition for the live uh a competition against four and a half hours 4 and half hours nailed it guys’s great at jocker so if you want to fly into Vegas and then drive to Scottdale

Uh it is 4 and 1/2 hours so or is is so all right so elevated golf season elevated PGA Tour uh event season is starting there’s 12 it’s their competition for to have the most of the top players in the field versus what live does and there’s supposed to be no

Cut it’s like 65 75 players um everybody gets elevated purses everybody gets paid um you know everybody kumbayah well the problem with these elevated events the the ancillary events like your Farmers uh your Farmers you’re you’re you know those type tournaments are just going to get absolutely dump trucked by by um like

People just not attending players there’s no incentive anymore for those guys to really go play in those unless they’re like on the borderline of falling out of that top 50 uh because they got this new criteria now so the the top 50 are automatically in but then

They got this new criteria it’s like there’s a it’s called AO n top 10 and then there’s a AO n top five and essentially you read there’s a whole bunch of stuff you can’t understand when you read about them basically it’s like the March Madness last 15 in first 15

Out it’s kind of like it’s kind of like the swing players that could go they could go either way so um but it’s just absolutely destroying good events uh like the farmers and listen we get it some of them like the John Deere and things like

That like they’re W A lot of people watching a lot of that anyway um you know the the barbasol came came here for a while and now it’s up in Kentucky like I get they’re not watching that but I told Kyle I said that was this set the

Tone this past week when literally on the front three pages of the leaderboard there may have been five guys that knew their name and the reason being is and I had to look it up and eventually they even I can’t believe they addressed it in the booth they said well this isn’t

An elevated event that’s next week and I thought oh okay and I thought well that’s stupid this is Tory Pines like iconic event this is this is a destination course that all golfers want to go play why because tiger won there bill is from there and is won there John

R his first win was there John yeah I mean Tigers US Open the 2000 us 2008 US Open the iconic broken leg that’s at Tory bines like it’s uh it’s it is a huge event I had a buddy that got married in San Diego they went out there

Early I could not get out there in time because of work but they played on the I mean he was getting married on Saturday they played Tory on Tuesday and I mean that’s the whole thing they kept building around all these PJ tour players that had come through the

Clubhouse and they made it a real big deal and then now it’s going to turn into if it doesn’t become an elevated event which it could in the next couple of years I guess you’re going to see what we saw last weekend which is like Kyle just said you got 15 players that

Are Fringe guys that have to play in it cuz they try to get get the points so they play next week or this week rather in thebody else in Pebble and then there’s everybody else that’s just trying to they’re either they’re either low on the totem pole they’re in the they’re in

The bottom part of uh as far as having their card I mean they’re Pro but they’re not household names I mean there were no you know there was J no JT no Ricky no none of those guys and you know some people go well they nether no they

Didn’t play cuz it wasn’t an elevated event it’s going to turn into the guys that are in that top are going to play elevated events only because they already want to play the majors so there’s four your tournaments right there and then the 12 elevated events so there’s your 16 tournaments and most

Guys will tell you they don’t want to play over 20 every year they some which is why R went to live don’t even want to play the full 20 but because of sponsorships and obligations they have to and so it’s going to be frustrating that some of these iconic courses um you

Know after the Masters harbard Town not elevated event sure we’ll see less people going on you know drive the short drive over there is just not there’s no incentive to do it anymore so it yeah cuz guys want to play for the points and for the money and the elevated events count so

Much more of both that these other tournaments these John Deere Classics these you know these wels F wasn’t it was Travelers or Wells Fargo last year that complained maybe it was Wells Fargo that they basically said Wells Fargo’s still won I think it was The Travelers

Was ITA it was either Travelers or it was somebody on the East Coast where they said no it’s a Honda Honda Classic and Honda said we’re not doing this anymore just flat out said it we’re not Honda said that yeah Honda said that we’re not there’s no sponsor like how do

You sell that like you’re asking us to pay the same that we paid every year and we used to get Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods and Ricky Fowler and and Justin Thomas and now we’re getting seah the Gallas caddy that’s trying to qualify like it’s not even seah himself yeah
