The last 2 years has reshaped professional golf, and we are seeing winners on the PGA Tour that have done so in awhile or first-time winners. We are having to learn players story, and get acquainted with people that we have not been familiar with. Are we seeing that downfall or remodeling of the PGA Tour? If the Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour agree to a deal, will we continue to see the same trend?
* PGA Tour rookie Matthieu Pavon (31) wins in 3rd start, after winning for the 1st time on the DP World Tour last year.
* Who is Matthieu Pavon? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthieu_Pavon
* We should get used to the seeing new stars establish themselves, and take advantage of the LIV defections. The winning scores are holding up against previous years, the play is still high level just not familiar faces.
* Rumors of Anthony Kim trying to return to golf are heating up. Swing video surfaced, but it was from a few years ago. https://golf.com/news/anthony-kim-plotting-return-pro-golf/
* Lexi Thompson switches from Bridgestone to Maxfli balls. Have balls plateaued, so will we see smaller manufacturers catch-up? https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/lexi-thompson-signs-with-maxfli/
* Latest version of the “The Match” coming on Feb 26. McIlroy/Zhang Vs Homa/Thompson. We feeling it?
* LIV News – Adrian Meronk & Tyrell Hatton have apparently signed but LIv has not announced either, seasons starts this week…Troy Mullins leaves LIV.

All right y’all bearder Bros Golf Show back at it for another week we are one day delayed I guess we had to get out of the way of the NFL playoffs I’m rod and I’m Marcus and also doing the show on the road at least for me Marcus in the Pro
Shop at Wildcat I’m in a hotel room in Tulsa Oklahoma but you wouldn’t you wouldn’t believe it from my background so we’re making this thing happen um you know scrapping it out just showing up for these guys every single week we’re going we’re we’re dedicated to this thing locked um locked and
Loaded um so weird weekend golf man I don’t know I’m I’m feeling some kind of way about where things are going it’s it’s it’s just hard to know where where the golf world is is is headed um I don’t know how to fully uh encapsulate my thoughts from the first four weeks of
The PGA Tour season we have Liv starting up this this week as well so we’ll get into it all so let’s jump off with uh the uh Farmers Insurance open we have a PGA Tour rookie 31 years old Matthew pavon winning for the first time he got
His first you know real professional win on the DP World Tour just last year um so a little bit of a late bloomer he’s been grinding it out about seven years on the DP World Tour winless um you know scrapped it out at the end on Sunday got
It got out of the rof and um secured his win with the birdie putt on 18 what do you think of the the guy winning um you know out of nowhere kind of to a certain degree uh yeah I mean from what I saw from the Farmers Insurance it was just a bunch
Of I don’t know it it was real weird to tell who was going to to pull it out because everybody seemed to get ahead by a little bit then you know have a bad hole come right back to the field and everything like that so it was it was a
Weird it was a weird time but um I mean he clutched up on 18 though when he needed to hit a nice little shot in uh made it over the water out of a a real scratchy lie and then uh you know poured in that putt end over in like it was
Nothing I mean the the pressure was on cuz cuz uh hoard drove the green had a eagle putt so you knew he was at least gonna make birdie uh especially after that good lag he had from about 40 feet or so lagged it to underneath the hole
Left or right or maybe two feet or so or inside that so you know he was going to get to 12 so he kind of put the onus on him to just go ahead and make the putt not have to worry about the playoff and
He did that and um one thing I like about Pavan is he already knows where he’s at as far as it goes for um French golf and things like that you know he’s still second fielded to Seline boutier they still know who’s the cream of the
Crop out there and he you know he gave her her credit and gave her her uh flowers and everything like that um she’s had got a major first she’s who were all chasing as far as French golfers go so glad that you know he could see past barriers and know what
Was up as far as it goes with gameship and uh as far as you know just the talent in golf so good on him either way yeah it was it was an interesting leaderboard just because there weren’t a lot of stars threatening on Sunday at least
Ones that we used to seeing their names which is an interesting Dynamic that we’re now dealing with um with this tour season that you know we are seeing names and winners that we are either becoming very you know becoming familiar with or have had a Resurgence when you look at a
Chris Kirk a um Grayson Murray these are guys who are Blast from the Past Chris KK kind of started his his return path back last year so and then we have um you know Nick dun laab winning last week and so we’re getting all these kind of interesting lineups again there was no
Shortage of star players that started the Farmers Insurance but a lot of miscuts out there um you know morawa missed the cut fow was kind of just scratching it out all week it it was an interesting lineup so I’m I’m very curious how this is all going to shake
Out with Liv kind of poaching consistently and are we just reshuffling the deck the one thing that I wanted to kind of look at in all of this is are we seeing a dramatic change in the scores and kind of finishing compared to let’s say the last couple of years and the
Truth is we’re not so 13 under one the uh Farmers Insurance last year same thing this year um American Express with John Ram you know last year he won it at 27 under Nick Dunlap won it at 29 under so an actual increase on the overall
Kind of quality of play so it’s very interesting how again you know you’ll depending on what side of the aisle you stand on um whether PGA Tour live you know P if you’re a live guy or gal you’re going to say that PJ tour’s falling off right their their talents
Missing and we’re taking it all over here but the scores aren’t necessarily holding up to show that we’re saying a definitive drop off in play what do you think about that aspect um do you see a lack of quality Golf out there or do you just think we’re going to have to get
Used to this new normal uh I mean the courses aren’t changing we’re still playing the same courses I mean the course setup is still the same they’re not growing the rough out any further further or any shallower the course conditions unless they are have already been notified which we
Always keep up with via the PGA Tour app or whatever it may be whether they’re renovating a course and then bringing it back to lengthen it shoren it renovate the greens and stuff like that so I think it’s just a lot of hum about nothing I mean the courses are still
Going to play the same so the people that are going to rise to the top or still going to be shooting these super good numbers and I mean that’s one thing that you have to realize is whether these people are going over to the other
Tour or not uh the people that are there are still going to be there to shoot scores and try to make a name for themselves so um yeah I mean I think the real thing that we got to dig into here is the youth the youth movement is there
It’s going to be here for a while and we’re just looking for a few more people to rise to the top and be labeled a star or you know somebody that’s going to be trying to move the needle so whether that be an interest in swing a guy
That’s just you know the ball sounds different when he hits the ball things like that so you know I think we’re still searching for that you know it’s gonna be a search and I think it’s G to be a good thing for golf it’s it’s gonna open the game back up
For let’s watch it more to see who can come to the top we’re not watching yeah we’re not hate watching to see how much somebody’s GNA beat the field by or how many times he’s going to win in a season or how many majors he’s going to get
We’re love watching it so we can figure out who’s our new fan favorite that we’re going to be watching and who we’re gonna be following behind and giving me an excuse to go to this tournament or I’m gonna be in the city at this time
Let me check out this crowd so I think it’s uh honestly I think it’s going to be a positive thing with the score staying the same and some of the people defecting to a different tour just going to be a youth movement that’s going to show us who we need to
Be following next yep as far as as far as we know right now still business as usual with young guys still pursuing the PGA Tour as their main route and even some of the guys from overseas coming over and seeing an opportunity right so pavon is
A is a a wonderful example grounded out on the DP World Tour to get his PGA Tour card at the end of last year and here he is a a winner right and with with really simple dream right all he said at the end was he he know he knew he was going
To go eat at noou um that night get get him a nice meal um and then go play pubble Beach this week which is interesting because kind of circling back around full circle from where we kind of started the show around this time last year which I think Pebbles
Coming up you know right on time um right around our year anniversary of when we began this thing and we were talking about how the field field was down they had a Monday finish speed due to weather last year with Justin Rose pulling it out and you know we were
Saying okay man Pebble has lost its luster you’re not getting the same amount of people to the same quality of people showing up and you know what did they do they turned it into an elevated event so we are going to see those big names this week and I think this will be
A really good test to see how that youth movement does bear out um top of the lineup you got Roy M Roy Scotty Sheffer Victor havins Andre chaet Jordan spe Patrick Klay Max hom colar Cawa to stop me when I say a name you don’t know ludvig AAR Justin Thomas Tony fenale Sam
Burns Fitzpatrick Tommy Fleetwood cam young Jason day sjm Tom cim names go on and on right so we’re going to see the big name stars out there in the in the field and so like you said we’ll point to the youth movement and see if they
Can actually compete and if this is a legit or or if we’re just seeing some interesting results as a result of the the talent uh leak you know you can’t take anything away from it you know when when Star when people leave that um you
Know have talent and have won on the on the tour before you can’t ignore that but um again there’s always someone out here trying to live their dream and step up in their place so um it’ll be an interesting week this week there’s always somebody hungry to pick up the crumbs regardless
You ain’t lying there’s money out here to be made um and people that have big game so um before we get into too too far away from the men’s game Anthony Kim man so timing we we both started playing the game around late 2011 2012 fullon 2012 um just started really hitting it
Hard so the last time that Anthony Kim you know teed up on on on the PGA tour we were just getting into the game we did not see Peak version of Anthony Kim and so of course the rulers have been bouncing around for a couple of years they’ll they’ll kind of just get
Drummed up off the bottom of the the barrel um every couple of years but this seems to be the most legitimate um you know shot that we get to see him try this thing again at the tour the interesting part and we kind of joked about this kind of in DMS is that
Um we’re n really hearing directly from Anthony Kim it’s always someone in his Camp a good friend a rumor here or there um I have a video queued up that everybody probably saw if you have social media but you come to find out that that video wasn’t very fresh it’s a
Few years old so I’m going to play that and then I’m going to get your thoughts on the other side of this pure move man still a pure move and this was the the part that I’m looking forward to come him coming back I’ll say one last thing as I have this
Paused so he he was known for these big belt buckles you know beedazzled and just kind of that swag you can even see from that clip of him swinging the club dude’s just got that natural Swagger about him and I think that’s one of the things that golf has struggled with is
Finding somebody that translates outside of the world of of golf nerds right so we can we can appreciate a tiger for the Artistry of what she brings to the game but from a personality standpoint tiger never really gave you any quotables or you know right he he did have the swag
As well with his competitors and just kind of staring them down but nothing to the effect of Anthony Kim so I’m going to pull this down and I want to hear your thoughts on on this the rumors and and are you looking forward to actually seeing him out on the course
Again yeah I mean always looking forward to seeing uh Anthony Kim back out on the course I mean just like we said just a ball of full of joy I mean always energetic always very passionate from the clips that we’ve seen of course not current um just throughout like the 08
Rider cup when they pulled it out that year just a funloving guy that you want to be around feel like he’s very magnetizing with his presence which is wild to me because because he has a very close-knit group of homies and a girlfriend or a wife and a family that
Is either paid very handsomely to just shut up and stay in the background or they just know what it is and they know like look we can’t even really speak on it because we don’t know but I mean all in all the thing with Anthony Kim is
It’s like he’s kind of like to me it’s kind of like a scene out of John Wick John Wick is John Wick could be PG whatever you want to call it we’re looking for that extra little bit of help and here comes this freaking half semi Homeless looking guy he just pulls
His cloak up and opens it up and he’s like I’m here what’s up like that’s what I feel like Anthony Kim is gonna pull into the next time he suits it up for the Pro game now you know again what we’ve talked about via DMS is if you
Know anything about the game of golf and anything about Anthony Kim is the whole insurance policy we really need to I mean I don’t even know if we need to divulge into it because it’s just real a real sleeper slope but as soon as he touches clubs professionally BR bro
Gotta Give Up on that 10 Mill that he just freely got you know what I’m saying it’s crazy to me that he had that much like the rumored amounts where the policy was worth somewhere between 10 and 20 am 20 10 and 20 million I’m not
Sure you know if that extra 10 came in somewhere down the road and this is taxfree money so he was getting that 10 m just straight cash but untion unfiltered as you mentioned if the stipulation in that was that this was an injury based insurance policy that if he
Laced it up got back on the uh links that he was going to give up that policy and needed to repay any funds that he had received at that point so you know the PGA Tour it’s meritocracy you got to go earn it and you got to go put up some
Numbers um you know they’re not that we know of giving anybody any guaranteed money to go play on the PGA tour we know that’s a different scenario when you’re talking Liv however for Liv and kind of the rumors on that side as I’ve been watching their little Twitter side and
Rumors and the guys that come up with stuff on their side of things is that Liv looks at Anthony Kim as an unknown commodity right none of us have really seen him recently and would they make him go through a tryy out um to validate
Like hey I still got it but what you do on the Range as we saw from that clip that could be one thing and then getting out on the course and playing under pressure is a whole different you know Beast right so it’s it might be a even
Though again he’s going to move the needle if their idea is to get get eyes on the product even if it’s just for a couple weeks people are going to tune in to see their product um we know that their very ratings based or at least you
Know Buzz based so I don’t know man I I just want to see it I want to see one of golfs athletes and just kind of different type of personalities that we’ve not seen here recently come out and get a chance to you know live the
Last part of his career out he is 38 at this point so is he an old man by any stretch no he’s younger than me and clearly that golf Talent is still there um you know something that once she got it she got it man um you know his injury
At the time was like a uh torn I want to say not ACL I think it may have been ailles it was a lower leg injury and so you know here we are 12 years down the line easily could have recovered from that ton of rehab he’s had the resources
To do so um I want to see it happen I want to see it happen man and I know little built buckles might be out of style but I want to see I wouldn’t mind somebody coming out with some kind of just extra um buddy that’s why he’s
Still in Texas man they love that [ __ ] here yeah good old good old B Buckle um yeah I think he’s out in Dallas actually so he is in that rich yep all right so moving on Lexi Thompson she comes up twice in in our um you know to topics this week so this
Past week uh it was rumored not rumored but confirmed that she left Bridgestone Golf a golf ball that you play you know pretty pretty routinely um to go over to maxfly which they’ve been coming out with a ton of tour balls that have been highly rated particularly by my golf
Spot who does a ton of golf ball testing year after year um which just a quick little shout out um Kirkland balls up to this year in their testing had been rated pretty well this year they said that that performance completely fell off the uh the map in their testing so I
Find that interesting from their Ball results this year but Lexi Thompson moved over to maxfly what do you think about it man I mean I’ve I found a couple Max flies out on the course that I tried to to play probably not a ball for me maybe I need to try some
Different options but here we have an elite LPGA Pro um putting them in play what are your thoughts yeah um I think one thing you do have to look at as far as like um trying to find a good ball that’s going to perform and get the
Numbers that you want get every little you know ounce out of it maxfly is still one of those um companies where they’re still playing like a more game improvement type golf ball and everything like that so probably one less core a little bit more springy off
The face and then of course when you’re going from the Bridgestone rxs which is a slower swinging speed and then a very compressed ball to where it’s soft and Squishy and things like that the maxfly is probably gonna provide the same amount of reaction Spin and then
Probably just be a little bit more firmer for her to get a little bit more spring off the face as far as like the driver goes and then um as far as irons I mean she doesn’t really need much more as far as distance go I mean she’s still
Top three um pretty much every year and driving distance total driving maybe not that most accurate of golfers maybe that’s another reason what for the switch is to get a little bit more um playable get a little bit more in the fair and stuff like that yeah so it’s a
Good move I mean I still think um well I mean of course our bridgstone rep came through and gave me a couple of balls so I’ve tried out the new 2023 version of the bxs and I think it’s still just a phenomenal ball I mean if I’m not
Playing the prov1x I’m playing the Bridgestone and I think it’s still the most complete ball the best face the best interaction as far as Turf spin around the green off the te so I’m very sad to see it go but when your ball company is not the same as
Your Club company you’re always looking for a perfect combination which is what she’s going to be doing with Puma not having a golf ball I mean it’s just it is it is what it is I mean you think about Taylor Ma you think about Titleist you think about all of our favorite
Brands you can even go to stricken stricken own ball own clubs mauno own ball own clubs I mean all of these top brands then you get into puma and it’s like where am I gonna go that’s why Ricky Fowler one of the biggest proponents for Taylor Made golf just
From playing the tp5 picks he don’t he don’t even play any Taylor May clubs he plays a Odyssey Putter he used the you know the superjet or whatever Cobra is using right now da d da da then he’s using the rusty the trusty Rusty Puma wedges so again when you’re one of their
Title sponsors just off the ball alone that’s what you get when you’re not with a company that has its own ball so again that’s just kind of the things that she’s gonna be battling and again it’s a lucrative deal because you get money from multiple polls you’re not sitting
Here worried about how much more they’re going to pay me to play the ball too I get to do whatever I want to with the ball so it’s not that bad of an idea it’s definitely a trailblazing move so Max Fly currently is owned by Dick
Sporting Goods um you know kind of also a g Golf Galaxy company as well so um yeah you know not often do you see a company owned by a direct to Consumer brand like Dick Sporting Goods have you know professional sponsorship so I think of course like most um ball
Manufacturers there’s again this they have this Tour line Tour X Tour s that they’ve they’ve come out with that they’re optimizing are there probably some tweaks in herball you know we’ve seen different you know specialty versions of the prov1 uh that the left Dash the left dot you know all these
Different Vari ations of balls that you know optimize that we won’t may not see as the public but again um a highly rated ball and when you’re getting into this premium category and we have these discussions about the golf ball roll back it’s very interesting to see you
Know again dicks getting in there with a pro ball and I wonder again if if golf ball technology has kind of plateaued where we’re at the top of what we can do with the technology we know things are about to go backwards and does it allow
For um you know some alternate Brands to sneak in there maybe at a slightly different price point where you’re not having to spend 50 something dollars a box you know for a dozen golf balls that are premium and maybe you can spend 35 40 you know somewhere in that range to
Save some dollars um again my my golf spy does a lot of ball testing they’ve readily spoken highly of the Vice Pro plus is the cover that durable no but from a performance standpoint before the ball scuffs it holds itself up with any you know Pro level ball out there so I
Think there’s some things that are coming around um that hopefully from a consumer standpoint can help save us some money um you know rather than only having a handful of balls right when you think about it the Topline bridgeston the prov1 prov1x the tp5 tp5x um well am I missing with the super
High I even there’s I mean there’s a ton of options out there right and it it’s really hard to find a GU a hard a sorry a poorly constructed golf ball the the the technology with golf has come so far along that you you struggle to just have
A crappy product out here except for kland signatures so um the second mention of Lexi Thompson on our list this week is going to be the match coming up on February the 6 we have Rory maroy and Rose Zang versus max H and Lexi Thompson man the six of the
26 26 sorry if I said the six February 26 so late in February I’m excited actually this is probably the best match that we’ve seen in a while mmhm what do you think man I’m excited uh I mean I’m excited I mean four Pros actual Pros not I mean they’re going to
Be under the lights again but I mean really just a matter of figuring out the ball you’re gonna play um is I mean honestly I think they should do four a fourman uh beste ball everybody play their own ball in have Lexi and Rose honestly
I think it would be cool if they showed really what was up and everybody played the same T boxes but really the best that we can do is move them to comparable yardages to where even if the ladies are hidden in front of them or
You know the ladies will be hit in front of them but they’ll be hitting same clubs Club yards like you know Rory andent kind kind of like what they right kind of like what they did with the grand Thorn yes yes so you’re hitting a seven I’m hitting a seven you’re hitting a
Eight she’s hitting a eight same yardage I mean same Club different yardages but I’m definitely excited I mean for them to go grab first of all Rory second of all Rose third of all Max and then Lexi not even wanting to be on social media that’s a great get you know what I’m
Saying all of these people like they’re sociable enough and they’re definitely people we want to hear from and hear their opinion on golf aspects and golf subjects so for them to come out and actually buy into it um yeah it’s going to be a good look for both sides and I
Think um the TNT is really doing their thing with this whole with this whole deal so I think it’s something that they need to keep build building momentum on yeah I agree and I think it’s a good M mix of Personality Styles right so max
Hom is the rare one of the rare people that they trans translate from social media cuz he’s an hilarious Twitter follow you know just been out there doing his thing on social media for a while but in person when you see him interviewed also does a really good job
Of bringing out his full personality right you’re going to see a little bit more serious stuff from Rory and Lexi she seems to be a little bit more buttoned up which is cool totally fine and rosang is somewhere in the middle right she seems pretty fun loving she’s
Young she’s the next LPGA star so I agree it’s a it’s an awesome get to get these names out there I was surprised with the mor Rory pick just because you know we don’t really kind of know where he’s directing his career um maybe he
Was able to maybe they were able to get him because the tgl league um you know got postponed and you know he’s like hey I can I can I can do it right and we know there’s probably some some extra funds coming over from TNT but but I
Think it’s a formidable lineup you know again we’ve had some really some Duds from the match here recently and you know if the golf holds up I don’t necessarily love the Under The Lights thing I think that’s a bit gimmicky but right you got do what you got to do to
Get it in Pro time I almost I almost wish you’d just go over to Hawaii or something and just so you can play it during the daytime but still get the prime time hours on on the mainland but hey it’s just me yeah um you know what that’s that’s
Crazy because probably you know what it messes with it the February 26 date actually probably aligns perfectly with what they have going on schedule-wise as far as a tour so they’re doing it out in uh West Palm West Palm Beach or whatever um let’s see end of February they go to
The Florida swing you know they’re coming up on the uh the Honda and the Arnold Palmer Invitational and [ __ ] like that so you know LPGA they’re still in Florida too so they’re gonna have a couple more events out there before they go abroad or before they go you know across the
Country or whatnot so yeah um Pebble Beach proam Genesis invitationals out there classic yeah you know what that’s last year sorry sorry that’s last year but I whatever they’re renaming it to I think it’s going to fall on that same oh yeah I KN I get what you’re saying yeah so
Pebble Beach proam then the week after that is a Super Bowl so Waste Management then go up to uh la for the Genesis and then that’ll be the last week of February right or the second to last week of February and then they’ll be in
Uh Cali or whatever so I mean they’ll be in Florida my apologies so yeah I think it’ll be uh it’s not anything that’s going to mess up their contracts or their scheduling or where they need to be at for an event and then of course with rose you know part-time playing
Pretty much this season with her fully exempt card she’s gonna finish up school so again just a good look all all the way around it’s just a good look all the way around any way you as of now pulling up pulling up the calendar um the the this particular week that we’re discussing
Um it seems like that’s a Monday the 26th of Fe February because the Honda LPGA Thailand is February 22nd through 25th and on the PGA tour side that’s their Mexico championship in bant that’s also running from the 22nd to 25th so I think this thing is gonna fall on a Monday that’s super
Yeah Weir or interesting I mean Sunday travel day Monday arrival and then Tuesday you get into your practice routine of playing a nine and then Wednesday you play a nine and you know go through your rain situation and stuff so that’ll just be one day less that they have to like
Recoup from the week the week prior yeah now you know who’s to say that Rose has actually signed up for the LPGA Thailand you know what I’m saying I don’t think she’s go I don’t think she’s going overseas very much early on in the season maybe she takes the Asian swing
At the end of 2024 but I don’t think she’s doing like you said she’s she’s doing school we talked about that a few weeks ago so that’s going to impact her early season schedule um impacting Florida and I doubt she’s going to make the trip over to Thailand just to make
The trip over to Thailand so that’ll be fun I mean the timing seems to be a good deal you know you got to figure out a way to keep capitalizing and and create momentum where you can right we we definitely I I know I’ve seen on social media on Instagram in particular that
You’ve been liking quite a bit of the uh LPGA post I think they’ve been doing a really great job of keeping it consistent and keep focus on so elated I am so elated we are getting content Galore what did I say we’re getting slow motion swings we’re getting day in the
Lives we’re getting rain sessions we’re getting thank you the people want to see this I know see this bro I I don’t I’m not saying anybody’s watching our little bitty show over here but they’re getting it and we’ve been clamoring for this we’ve been asking we said it’s been a missed opportunity for
LPGA to feature their their ladies they have stars take advantage of it I mean this week you you had Nelly Corda you know winning the drive on Championship um in Florida as well this week so you know again they’re featuring her they’re putting out you know tons of posts with
Her saw a couple of collab posts as well so extend your reach use the tools that you have in your Tool uh kit to make the game popular um again I think these mixed events also help just cuz you see you know that these talented ladies um
You know playing next to men you know I didn’t even mention it earlier when we were talking about the match and Lexi is you know how well she performed performed out in Vegas last year she just miss mixed missed the cut um but in terms of distance she performed
Incredibly well um you know she had maybe had to change the bag a little bit to accommodate um you know for the conditions but kept up and can you know compete with the longest out there so shout out to the women for um for being
Good at what I mean there it’s just it feels like they have not gotten their their flowers and we want to give him their flowers so you got to got to let the world know you’re there and and present so sliding on to our next topic
And this is just more of a live golf news and just you know some like commentary around it so I think we have it confirmed to little update I think Terell Haden is confirmed um last week we had you know Adrian Moran that you know was was snubbed from the Ryder Cup
This year highly talented player that didn’t make the team but also signed with Liv um but the interesting part to me at least is that Liv through their official feeds did not announce either one of these players as of when we started this show um I think again just
Through some strong reporting that the Terell Haden signing is confirmed here a number between 50 and 60 million I haven’t heard a number for Adrien Moran but their season starts this week and we don’t know what’s going on with the John ROM ROM team but you you very well are
Aware of what Liv deems as important or a significant signing based on their social media behavior and they have not been talking about these two signings at all very interesting what do you think about this kind of the situation what do you think about these two signings
Uh I mean when we first had this discussion neither one of these names were on our radar for would you assume that they would go if their number was called I don’t even think they were on our radar for people that we would assume would go or not go
But I mean [ __ ] he’s he feels scorned he feels betrayed so he’s going to go make some money have a good time he’ll be all right you know he’s got a year and a half or whatever until 2025 they’re still going to be looking at the footage because by then they’ll have a
Merger he’s going to try to make the team somehow that way whether it be world ranking points or whether they have him still somewhere in the DP World Tour you know who knows how far Ping’s reach reaches so you never know what that t Haden same guy same thing you
Know one a few times now on the PGA tour really felt like he was gaining some momentum I mean I’m just really trying to understand why he would go away from some away from a billion dollar corporation that literally everybody was like eating up what he was doing we Lov
The hotheadedness we loved his temper tantrums we LED seeing him be a little whiny baby so why would you not want to get that televised and get that get those bleeps and get those little excerpts or be with DP World Tour where you’re getting interviewed at the end of the
Week even if Liv golf does anything similar to that where they try to highlight your temper or highlight something that’s going on you’re not even going to reach the same amount of of coverage just based off the the small imprint that Liv golf has down so your likeness and your overall appearance is
Going to be changed and it’s going to be diminish and it’s that light might flicker it might go out compared to what you were doing on the PGA where you were gaining momentum and everybody was already eating up what you were doing so again everybody has a price everybody
Has a number so maybe they hit it and he’s okay with you know riding off into the subset at this point you know I I think that I think that what players are feeling is that the signing or the merger or some version of a merger is
Coming at some point right so in their minds they’re like okay there’s going to be a limited take the money right now there’s going to be a limited penalty um in terms of a player like him not being able to play in all the majors I think
He’s going to qualify for a handful you know we’ll see how the world ranking goes throughout the year I don’t think he’s going to make some significant drop it usually comes after the season um you know of not being able to compete you know on an equal playing
Field so I think they’re taking the gamble like hey I’m going to I’m going to put my status in Jeopardy for a year this merger will happen I’ll have my money secured and then I can move on with my life and kind of go back to
Status quo because the truth is he’s one of these guys that that tease it up pretty damn often and then I don’t see him necessarily like not wanting to play golf because hey I’m older I have a family I think he may be married or have a significant other who’s serious but he
Definitely doesn’t have any kids yeah no and so that’s his reason yeah I just looked it up and he’s clear for this year as far as Majors go number 16 in the world so he’ll make all four or whatnot so yeah he’s riding cool and he
Thinks by the end of 2024 some will be in place and he’ll be you know hey I got a free 50 million now I’m back seeing y’all guys what’s up hey and I’m trying to pull it up but my my inter not my internet but my I’m not
Signed in some for some reason on my browser so an hour ago um Liv put up a a post with John ROM’s framed bearded face their marketing is so bad I’m Gonna Keep it rough buck so uh talking about his team a new team arrives and all it’s
Featuring is John ROM so we really still don’t know the composition of his team who else is going to you know is Terell Haden going on that team is [ __ ] going on that team truth be told if that’s their three and then they throw another
One of these kind of bums in there that they have kind of floating around they’re that’s a pretty formidable team if they’re going to talk about team golf at all but again I just it’s very interesting again what they prioritize and who they choose to promote versus um
Who they leave off to the side so if I’m Terell Haden I got I gotta be happy with my money because they’re not promoting me as if I’m a star of this league or a valid will get for them they’re just really paying me combat pay
So and what is your team name going to be like the international Flame or something morocc is angry too like what’s going on Legion Legion 13 super awesome concept Legion 13 is her name that’s the name of the team all right lame yeah lame super lame but hey
Hey man um again it’s early season so for all the people that think that I hate live um I am going to be we GNA see I’m I’m going tune in I’m going to give it another chance every year this is year three for them they get a chance to
Revamp their product bring something different to the table that is appealing um so yeah I’m going to be tuned in I’m going to find it on channel 432 and a half on you know the CW as long as you can just avoid the Jimny Jones reruns I
Think we’ll be able to find the coverage some somewhere on there you know or is CW doing cheaters now is gun is is it is gun Peter guns he’s the host now is that is who has test no they don’t have any new episodes of cheaters but if they if they
Came in with some cheaters reruns if they led into live golf with cheaters reruns you might get like every week every week I be there throughout the season cheers R run still go crazy 100% 100% sh shout out to Joey Greco and shaders bro for real the
Guy um I could was it tommy gun that was the original host no um oh you’re talking about the guy the young guy yeah the black rapper guy who was a okay who was a cheater like a career cheater himself because from okay there a funny excerpt well
Okay we’re going down to early we’re going down to early 2000s Rabbit Hole sorry y’all but shout out to cheaters um and other live new news golf um the lovely beautiful Troy Mullins announced that she was departing live go after two years um I’ll be
Honest I I I’ll be honest man I was kind of like looking at her with the side eye after she left and hadn’t been able to you really easy work easy work I hadn’t been able to fully enjoy her content one she hadn’t been as prolific about putting
Content out um you know an amazing swinger of the club an amazing physique um honestly just like a genuinely happy refreshing joyful looking person but definitely you know for for whatever her reasons are she didn’t really get into that of why she was leaving but you know she announced her departure this
Week so a lot of stuff happening with Liv I don’t know it just feels like the most disorganized um you know operation that they have going on there from the marketing standpoint uh being late to announce a team I’m just saying they start on Thursday they’re gonna be wrapping it
Up no no sorry sorry Friday Friday my bad they they do the Friday Saturday Sunday my fault when yeah when you got three rounds you got to start a little later in the week yeah I didn’t I forgot they they’re not going with this the Thursday to Saturday start so yeah I
Mean 4 days before the kickoff of your season you’re just Al you’re just putting announcements out there very last minute feels interest it’s it’s interesting I don’t know man um it it’s just like do y’all really care or do you just want to say FU PGA Tour because
That’s more what it’s really feeling like I don’t feel like there’s a comprehensive objective at this stage it just feels like a big F you to all the people people associated with the PJ tour J manahan um you know we know Greg Norman has a huge heart on for you know how he
Feels the PJ tour has treated him over the years which is fine but that’s but you’re really showing your your hand at this stage there doesn’t seem to be many illusions that this is something other than that but we could be wrong true but but the history is what it is right now
Um let’s see here make sure I didn’t miss anything we kind of merged a few topics early on in the in the show that were kind of associated with each other yeah that’s really it I mean like I said it was a a weird week this week in terms
Of you know there wasn’t a lot of just heavy news or anything super super interesting or out of the norm so any other things that you want to add in before we close it out for the week yeah two things golf golf related Nelly Corda shows she had the nail
Really screwed the pooch on like 15 went in the water on a part three straight swipe left like made a triple was in single digits and somehow managed to Eagle birdie finish to get into a playoff went ah head on and win it and won it then but just shows you maybe she
Is making that push back to try to be back in that number one spot instead of number four um looked really good on her she looked like I mean over all besides Sunday early the swing in the game looked looked very perennial and me she
Had a few spots you know it might have been the thing where you was talking about where she was too familiar with Megan Kang CA they were talking about it on Saturday they were like yeah we’re staying together and like you know maybe I won’t talk to
Her and they were real Chatty Patty about it like you know maybe you weren’t as locked in maybe you needed a little seriousness or something like that maybe needed to be playing with the Rival that way you’d lock in a little bit but it all came out just fine but um of course
No way I go without speaking um speaking on Luca masterclass 73 on Kobe’s anniversary had to be said and you know kudos to Luca because you know from the jump he’s always gave the stars of the NBA they’re flowers and he is a longtime Kobe fan and you know
He mentioned it without off rip he I don’t even think they when they interviewed him I don’t even think it was going that direction but he made it that direction you know it was special to him and for him to perform like that and um we needed every point so with
Luca like that I mean we’re it’s scary hours I want I want Kyrie to come back but stay out as long as you need to to be healthy but you know it’s aot it’s a next couple of stressful weeks coming up for all all middle tier basketball teams
Wondering if they’re going to be able to make that lead to contend yeah so you know Nico Harris I don’t know what you gonna do my boy but you know there’s a lot of mass fans questioning what your ability is if you can’t make any moves
Or whether you’re going to be trying to ride these coattails until the end of the year and then make big moves in the off season so you know you got to be able to play your cards right and sometimes we need to make some moves and I don’t know if
Grant I don’t I don’t think there’s enough a lot of people I don’t think there’s enough pieces and that anybody else is interested in that’s the thing that I think is the tough part of the way the M Mavericks are constituted right now is it a good team yeah but the
Parts that people may want I you can’t give them up right you can’t really give up KY system good enough to where we need them and they wouldn’t do much value for other people agreed um this is something that I thought about as soon as you mentioned
The Kobe piece that’s one of those things that you absolutely remember where you were when that happened um th% at least for at least for me and I was on the six I was playing around I was on the sixth hole of Tennison Highlands and in Dallas Texas and started getting
Alerts on my phone and the guy I was playing with we were walking that day he’s like yeah I just got a text from my you know girl who’s really plugged in with the Lakers and and it’s true and I just remember us kind of just
The next few holes being in the fog not knowing like that’s just a crazy feeling right again just one of those things where you absolutely remember where you were when that you got that news do you you recall where you were when that happened th% th% I was serving I was at
The airport on my Sunday shift when it happened and I’ll be damned if the TVs all didn’t flash to it because you know of course we’re watching some type of sports or some type of news so I mean literally four out of the five TVs in the front part where I was serving
Literally all had the little the foggy or like the Cloudy Sky a bunch of you know you know police and state troopers there at the bottom of the hill we’re getting all the alerts and the whole time we’re like hey anything I can do for you and even the customers and
Guests were like did you see like did you see what happened and we’re like not really like I’ve been trying to serve but like what’s up and then they were like Kobe passed him like a helicopter crash and so like we all start looking at the TV the kitchen slows down the
Serving slows down it ain’t much to do besides just really wonder what is life you know without Kobe GG and then like realizing that Not only was it Kobe and Gigi it was a whole a squad it was a CO it was a couple of coaches it was a
Couple other girls on that team not just those two people that were GNA mention and so like I thought a lot of different people came out that same day and did a very good respectable job of like it wasn’t just Kobe it wasn’t just GG it was these names and you better not
Forget these names from the beginning so you know that put it in perspective for me that made it even more emotional because it’s like damn we lost Kobe then we lost Gigi but like these other girls were aspir were aspiring to be basketball players these other people whole
Lives you know whole lives changed the the pilot you know the pilot the Pilot’s family all things like that were involved in that day and yeah I’ll never forget 12620 that that was not a day to ever forget and just like that it’s been four years like and we keep moving like life
Keeps always keeps moving right so it just keeps going man said it a couple said it a while back you know you better slow down and smell the flowers life doesn’t slow down for any of us so um enjoy the people that you love and care
About as much as you can I know it’s you know we all make mistakes and you know we’re not going to be perfect at it but sometimes you need those reminders and and hopefully you’re not getting that reminder at a a time that it’s too late to redeem um a relationship or something
That you said on the wrong side of something so um think that’s a good good wind down and you know another week with the beard of bros Golf Show we’ll be at it again um regularly scheduled time on next Sunday um have a break between um
You know the Super Bowl and we’ll figure out two Sundays from yesterday what we’re going to do around the Super Bowl time um on that weekend but uh up until then catch you next week I’m rod and I’m Marcus peace
