wow we are we are so back it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s amazing how back we are feels good feels really good to be back I gotta be honest with you wow see you in Chicago we both made the cut the mini golf tournament no reason specifics after that but good week for both of us um yeah not great last time I saw you you know you had Phil Mickelson meltdown at shinik so this should go well I think that’s the last time we really spoke uh yeah who know I I don’t know if that’s true or not are you done crying yet or no you good man I like it a nice emotional week it feels like an emotional week which is why I’ve got a certain pick this week is there any is there anybody in the field this week that you’ve lent $50,000 to or given nobody right John Daly no Rich beam no John Daly kind of looks like he needs to be $50,000 but no I think I think uh I’m clear I got no I’m just going in objectively this week um did you see the picture from the Champions dinner how do how ask that feels like to me like that’s like 20th rate Masters champions dinner like the PG like seeing like Mark Brooks wding like it’s just not the it’s not the same I do like I think that was Payne Stewart’s son who was there I like that that’s like a good the master should do that like I think although it’s a little Stolen Valor I don’t I don’t know I’m badly it’s a little stolen it’s a bit stolen um it’s a little PJ champ I love this place by the way I went there with Harry the other night PJ Champions din should be like an Olive Garden it feels like it’s like an Olive Garden event which is fine you know but that’s you know I agree like like Nate Nate loves Olive Garden I feel like the people that are at this thing because there’s a very weird dynamic where you know you don’t have a lifetime exemption to play in the PG champ so there’s some guys that just come back I think for the and just go to this dinner in in Louisville and then I think they just leave town Al guys I mean like kind weird like you know like fuzzy Zeller was at the Master’s dinner he doesn’t play anymore like you know that’s that’s okay I think but he could play but he could play right and like going to the Masters is a whole thing you’re at Augusta I mean that’s true part three they they play the part three I don’t know the whole thing’s not right you’re there you’re in Louisville yeah um you’re there right you’re at the event here haven’t been to the golf course yet I haven’t yeah I haven’t been to the golf course yet we’re going out all there um all day today uh good I guess everybody’s kind of raving about the changes it’s been wet so it’s going to play long y it’s kind of a classic PGA golf course we were talking on the show the other day PJ Championship as much [ __ ] as it might get it’s the fourth major all the stuff uh it’s delivered quite a few phenomenal finishes over the last absolutely decade or so and one of them was here obviously with Rory hitting up Phil and Ricky weren’t quite sure they thought they were going to hit their t- shots right and then you know finish the whole kind of later I guess after Ricky and Phil had finished but they didn’t they decided to hit their second shots which is an insane way to finish a major championship Phil though um so yeah all let’s go I I mean let’s let’s go let’s you want you want to go for I mean obviously there’s a something looming now over this week that wasn’t the case 24 hours ago but uh uh it may play into your picks I don’t know I don’t know where I mean I don’t know where you are on this it played into my it played into it played into my pick it played into my pick I um I you know so we did the Masters thing I would say we weren’t known as having won a ton of bets during the master tournament you we’re we’re I mean the master’s like a limited field like it’s whatever event like you know the PJ Championship is the best field in golf this is where we our math are really like how am I supposed to know what what you know what fraking Jose marola thabl you know this it’s it’s it’s a nice event but this is a PJ tainted field it’s a tainted field with the master it’s a little check history like you know I I’m more comfortable with this all right so I’m um I’m ready to go I got I am I am all in on one player by the way that is troubling me but the numbers are pointing this way but I’m going to let you go as always you go first traditionally you go first so so I have to say that I was on a bit of a hot streak in which I bet on just the best players in the world and then they just won so at the Masters Tournament the only bet that I hit was Scotty sheffler and Roy mroy it was like plus 280 or something like that obviously Scotty shuffler won the next week I bet on Scotty shuffler to win he won and that same week I bet on Nelly Corda to win she won so I’ve just been betting on whoever’s better than everyone else at golf and they’ve just been kind of winning okay um Scotty the baby Rory divorce the whole situation uh I I kind of tweeted out yesterday but if you go back historically Kirk um there was a there was a bit of a wild time where Rory and Waki he had the whole situation with the wedding invites sent those out decided to cancel the wedding call it off right when that was announced he then I believe it was BMW week over at like Wentworth yeah he won and then he he W he got hot right yeah he got really hot won several tournaments in a row so I don’t like to okay this is what you’re betting on okay go ahead historically as like I said I’m I’m not necessarily a guy that bets on the Front Runners sure um so I’m not going to bet on Scotty this week who’s plus 400 okay I have bet on Rory maroy plus 750 to win the tournament win to win the golf tournament that’s that is my that is my pick that is my my big move this week if you will responsibly DK partner sure uh I bet on Roy mroy this week to win I think it’s uh he said the Stars aligned he’s single again I know people are kind of panicking about the divorce and like oh that’s going to mess with his bre clearly he didn’t he wasn’t in a perfect marriage on Monday and then decided to get divorced not that he was definitely in not a perfect marriage last week Friday or Saturday or Sunday or thir when he won the tournament so I don’t I don’t think it matters I’m you know no I I I think he’d probably like it not to have come out yesterday ideally probably but yeah I agree I I don’t think Rory is gonna win because I think he’s a loser now he’s gone in my loser category but I don’t think it’s a bad pick the course is long it’s going to be a little wet like it’s a limited amount of people who can win he’s definitely one of them okay I like that at least you’re I thought you’re going to be more abrasive about that I’m glad that you’re about what is divorce no just about me picking Roy m i mean well it’s a typical rigs pick I mean there’s no you know it’s it’s was be making money I understand I look I’ll be honest I’m not here to make money I’m here to make history yeah I mean that’s you know that’s what I like about you Kirk that’s what I like about you this guy’s playing well uh uh played okay last week played well Hilton Head played very well at the Masters this course sets up for him I’m not he’s not my favorite player to watch but I am trying to make people money uh 30 to1 odds for Colin morawa to win and I feel like this is a good course for him to win I will say this he’s plus 550 top five meltdown on the back nine at the Masters Tournament second second nine and uh plus 275 to top 10 as well from work so I’m saying I just feel like this is a course it’s set up great for him and I great long iron player he’s have a this course you have a bunch of like do you have a long iron into 11 there on the second n well so so another guy I’m about to pick here in a second so but uh yes he did he did he did more you know I’ll say this you know he’s been a closer in big spots a lot more than maroy recently you know last time maroy want a freaking major you were you know whatever you doing pedaling stocks or whatever the hell you were doing somewhere like this you know you you ninth string in some hockey team Penny yeah I me 2014 my grandmother was alive I mean this you know my parents were alive I was on radio uh you were able to have like a family reunion back then yeah so me sitting by myself looking up at the sky I uh I will say one of those PGA championships that we were talking about which has brought the juice that guy when he hit when he drove the green and made Eagle on 16 at TBC Harding Park and then I think it was right around that time or when they were I can’t remember exactly when they were doing the memorial but that he almost hit the same t-shot right at the Memorial slork Day they did it backtack weeks yep on that driveable hole so he has been clutched under certain spots and he might have gotten it out of his system there that was bad I agree I there I do wonder if there some scar tissue that was a bad the back second night of the gusta was bad there’s no that guy is around that the best iron player in history and he hit terrific irad it was ugly it was look it was ugly I’m I’m just I’m going by the numbers I like him this week I don’t well you I’ll let you make some other picks but I don’t like I just feel like obviously if you want to pick Scotty pick Scotty like I’m we don’t need we don’t to tell you to pick Scotty sheffler but you know like what am I gonna pick Sheffer to win no [ __ ] you know I got a couple that you’re going to love Kirk these are right up your alley okay I got I got a few as well but go ahead um these are these are fresh um okay all right I like this I’ve got two guys to miss the cut I’ve got Taylor gu MC Big Star Plus 180 Mr Liv plus 180 uhhuh and then I’ve got um two-time champion and Local Louisville oh yes to miss the cut native Justin Thomas plus 225 to miss the cut first one I’m in with you I’m in with you on that one we’re riding that one together yeah a lot that’s right up your he’s weird he’s had like moments where you’re like oh he’s putting it together but I I think this is going to be a tough spot for him this week too I looked at that I like that that’s a good pick all right so um so I’m on each one of those individually I got Taylor gu MC plus 180 I’ve got jusen Thomas MC plus 225 uh plus 600 where is it I just lost it wow play well last week I’m going my iron guys play well this week uh play well last week uh sunj top 10 plus 600 I love that you’re in he’s going to Fe it finish eth and I’m just um I like him I like the walk I like the look I’m I’m a sunj guy again you that’s second shot 208 for him six iron 20 feet away I I he’s going to play well in this course he might he’s going to be around on Saturday maybe not Sunday Tempo all weekend too we get to watch that that takeaway I don’t know have you ever tried to do that you ever triy to take it back that slow no I wish I could I I can’t I did the other I was playing the Scramble with my buddies my high school buddy a couple’s friends the other day I tried goofing around again the chip because I saw Stuart sink do it trying the chip cross-handed it’s a freaking dis I don’t even understand it it’s a disaster fits it’s a disaster go ahead no I remember kid was doing it at some point too so uh that’s not for us we’re more we’re um I’m I’m an artist yeah yeah we’re conventional players um lowest live player finish okay I saw this Bryson Des Shambo plus 6 650 good bet good bet Everyone likes him this week I like that pick yep he uh he obviously played well at the Masters I think that his ability to play better is dramatically affected by how he thinks people think of him and right now for whatever reason after the Masters finish I think people are rooting for him cheering for him I think that matters to him he’s doing videos with Phil and he’s got Smiles on his face I think he’s an emotional roller coaster kind of like myself I got Bryson top live finisher plus 650 this week okay plus 330 Eric Van royan top African finisher according to my DraftKings uh site here uh plus 330 wow did you see that wedge that he hit at the Myrtle Beach Classic did I did I did see that I did see that I’m a bazen who guy as you know but I plus 330 I I mean you get whatever you want here you want your Nordic pick you want everything’s possible so I’m a van royan guy so I’m going with that plus 330 I like van royan but as I was watching that Myrtle Beach Classic he had like a 45 yard wedge pitch whatever over a bunker and he just blade Zill it forehead straight over the green made on Gable part five that was that was my last memory of him but I like him he’s good I’m just giving you a picture all right go ahead I got a uh uh top five finish parlay I’ll give you in a second but go ahead I’m going to go um I kind of took a beating with the there will be two or more holes in one at the Masters Tournament there were zero Z throughout the entire week which yes very rare Sunday pin on 16 as we know nothing not a single um not a single a so uh I think we’re due so I’ve got an ace in the tournament is plus 110 plus money uh plus 110 there will be a hole in one during the 2024 PJ championship at Vall this is this knee issue because you know this is the one guy that I spoke I’ve been talking up for months and talked up at the Masters I was on the Le Vic train before anybody does this knee issue bother you at all or no I mean this guy is born to play this course born there’s no course you he can’t play but this one especially I love ludvig this week anything that you say coming up about him Kirk unless it’s for him to miss the cut I’m probably going to tell on all right should we go top 10 plus 150 or top five plus 300 top five don’t be a [ __ ] C okay there you go I like that top five livig plus 300 oh yeah do you have any do you have any tiger anything at all going nothing not a thing I I will say shout out to DraftKings DK partner um I saw they had an enti tiger tab but it was like will Tiger get a hole in one yeah hold here’s one well tiger Mak an albatross like I’m going to say Tiger Woods break the course record I don’t think that’s going to happen no I didn’t I just didn’t love those uh I have no idea what to think about Mr Woods um I think him making the cut at the Masters is one thing as we know he knows the place the whole deal whatever the ins and outs there’s a lot of nuance to it all that uh I he keeps showing up like he showed up early and he’s out there you know hitting balls playing practice round on Sunday and I’m like you got to stay off that [ __ ] leg he got the goatee I don’t really know what to think about it um so I kind of terms of betting with my heart betting with my brain I just kind of stayed away from it because otherwise I’m going to get attached to all these emotional piics as you know okay and um and I really didn’t know I don’t know what the hell to think about TIG I thought he was going to retire the Masters Tournament with how poor he was just moving playing all that on the weekend and then he finished his interview on Sunday being like Oh yeah I’m going to go do a scouting trip at valala um thinking that he’s all fresh and and ready to rock so I don’t really know what to think I don’t think he’s going to make an albatross or shoot the course record this week so I stayed away from the uh tiger props all right go what do you got your turn right my turn go ahead um I got sep straa sep straa plus 150 Kirk to finish inside the top 30 seps oh he’s Plus money for that lost money to finish inside the top 30 I like that pick I’m with you we’re we’re together on that I like that pick okay all right you’re going to ride with me that’s a good pick I didn’t see that y oh yeah let me see top 30 yeah look at that okay good pick he’s got our friend uh Dwayne Bach on the back who used to be kiss’s caddy and uh obviously they’ve had a good run the last couple years yeah I got I have two top 30s I like then if you you’re okay with these uh Denny McCarthy plus 180 and a guy I like a lot this week a lot to play well this week uh hoard Nikolai H hoard good long player I’m looking my I’m looking at the numbers he’s 21st in driving by the way total driving on tour this year uh plus 220 I like those two guys uh top top 30s you want either one of those you’re a McCarthy guy I love Denny McCarthy I’m a huge fan of his I like the way that he plays rolles the uh I’m in on that I about hogard I’m going to stay away from that one but karthy top 30 I’m in on my last one that I have on the list is um Shane Lowry top top 30 he’s plus uh plus 175 to finish inside the top 30 I know he hasn’t been putting great this year but I think he got a little bit of a um a boost whether it’s legitimate or not from zura classic playing with Rory got the win felt the felt the juice felt the flow all that being in contention they got that victory uh you know he could strike his golf ball as they say so I got Shane Lowry top 30 plus 175 and that’s my last pick of the entire uhre thing I I G do one for my guy though he’s not playing well right now uh he’s my guy last year you know plus 200 Eric Cole top 40 this week I mean the coal Express last year was who can forget it it was unbelievable that was a very lucrative operation that we had with I mean just unbelievable he’s not he’s not playing great right now but I was GNA say I haven’t heard his name in a while I don’t know if that’s because we only do Majors now or right he’s just not yeah I’m a little so what’s your T will Tiger over under 148 for the two rounds under okay barely miss the cut though I think he probably that’s not a bad week though that’s not like 74 72 miscut it’s not bad not Terri terrible I don’t I mean we’ve heard nothing out of him this week I just don’t yeah you know this is about us down on on Mr Woods as I as I’ve been I know this is this is alarming I don’t understand this I didn’t see much there Kirk I really just don’t I hated what I saw in the weekend at the uh at the Masters it’s made me kind of depressed I just I don’t know I don’t like it I don’t like it I like his chances a lot more at Pinehurst yeah he way more walkable too I mean that’s way more walkable it’s a relatively flat walk it’s he’s finished um High there I think second and third out of like the three different times that he’s played there so I like him more at Pinehurst I I don’t know I just don’t love valala big ballpark the whole thing I don’t not not as high on Tigers I would like to be all right any other you so you have Roy maroy winning good finish like comfortable win like where’s Sheffer gonna finish comfortable win I he wins by by three or four I really do I think he separates himself on on the um on what they would call the second nine at the MS tournament we’ll call it the back nine this week yeah I I really do I just the way that he’s driving the golf ball when he stood up on that first T at qu Hollow last weekend on the in in the Final Round And everyone’s 511 yard Par Four everyone’s hitting out to the left they’re hitting in the bunkers they got 210 yards 230 yards in he just rips it over the trees and then had a gap wedge and hit it to like four feet and made birdie I think you’re going to see a lot of that so I just I love Rory this week I can’t help it I like that he’s single Rory again there’s a lot of good history there so yeah Rory’s my guy once I’ll give you I got one more question but first are you ready for PJ championship this weekend in Louisville if you’re not having to the greens head over to our partners at DraftKings to lock in your bets in partnership

DraftKings one name we haven’t mentioned at all top 10 Majors machine and finished second last week is Xander it’s just hard to bet on a guy that can never close I know he makes me he makes me sick that was not I was so excited last week I’m like good I really like the course two really good players like big Stakes honestly I know Xander’s one this would been the biggest moment of his career so far beating Rory head-to-head and elevated the week before and he just by the 12th hole was over major championship course to yeah right he you know I I watched those first couple holes and then I tuned out for a half hour 45 minutes or so I remember when I was doing I came back they tdd I came back he’s down by five the [ __ ] and Lun back was over ah yeah he just I mean will he finish like seventh or eighth this week probably will he finish in the top 20 like almost definitely but do I think he’s going to win like no chance which is crazy he’s one of the five best players in the world just hard to bet on a loser same with canay can lay no juice in the major like it’s I hate that jool laava is on that makes me sick like there’s just there’s no there’s no juice around that this week I think we have our guys little cash grab for our boy Joe laava which I you know I get it he uh I think he you know that Rider cup when he really when he really it out I think he needed to let loose he’s [ __ ] stuck talking about God Patrick Kay walking down Fairway after Fairway he’s like I got to [ __ ] lose my mind here so but one more like we’re in a world now where you and I like have not said the name John Rah once in this like he does like he doesn’t exist but like I I it funny day I was talking to my brother like yesterday I was like I kind of like ROM this week but today I pushed out like I don’t like he’s done nothing in live I don’t know what’s going going on he still thinks he’s on tour I don’t know the [ __ ] is going on how do you possibly judge how these guys are doing he didn’t say Brooks either right Brooks is the defending Champion he won whatever two we live you know Neiman like everybody loved nean at the Masters he didn’t do anything yeah loved him at the Masters was one of those victims of him at the Masters before your guy Jason and your guy Jason Dave screwed you last week he screwed me in the past but Everyone likes him this week too I did appreciate you texting me early in the morning I’ve been there I got burned by him before I felt bad for him early in the round I mean and it was just I bet right when I bet on him I tune into the TV
