okay Greg give me your favorite Scotty stat figure number comp that you’ve seen this may not be what you were thinking all right this comes to my mind um I just typed in because I wasn’t sure of the exact number how many junior tournaments did Scotty sheffler win oh and and it pops up and it says to say Scotty to say Sheffer was a dominant force in junior golf would be an understatement from 2004 to 2010 he won nearly 60% of his starts on the Northern Texas PGA junor Tour for a stagger in total of 74 victories oh my gosh right and and this is I think he won some more unlike the ajga as well I I heard a figure of 96 I’m not sure what that time frame was here nor there the point is Scotty dominated the players that he was playing against as a J yeah and then they all get older and then all of and he’s still is BET beating them all the time and then all of a sudden they all come out onto the PGA Tour together and now those guys that are losing to Scotty and Junior events are are now losing to him in PGA Tour events and it’s like the age he’s gotten to the age where where this is the these are the guys that are in their Prime yeah and he’s he’s just always beat them and he just continues to beat them yeah it’s your it’s your Daniel Bergers it’s your uh your Mor caas your you know guys guys like that and kind of the 27 to 30 31 range yeah my my favorite is another guy that I I don’t think this guy has beat him in any tournament that they’ve played together this year uh but Ricky Fowler Ricky Fowler go who almost made a one on a part five a par not a par five on a par four today which was crazy uh Ricky Fowler since he turned Pro I think he turned Pro late 2011 I know he was a pro like the beginning of 2012 so I went back to the beginning of 2012 he’s won six PGA Tour events very good career he’s 35 years old now he’s won one players players is a big deal I think it’s kind of underrated as a as a a Championship win and he’s won no Majors famously in infamously whatever in the last 100 days Scotty Sheffer six PGA wins one players and one major so more Majors than Fowler he’s basically had Ricky Fowler’s career in the last 100 days oh which is that that’s not like I feel that on Twitter and people are like oh why is Ricky taking straight it’s not a shot at Ricky Rick’s had a very good career like a career that I like most Pros would would just like love to have andot and Scotty’s had it over the last three and a half months basically all right so this is another one that I really liked and I thought this was going to be a great stat after the US Open um but Josh shared this this week this season Scotty sheffer’s official money on the PGA tour is 54th in career money all time just just since January one yeah Y and now I know that purses are inflated there it is yeah but I you’re talking about an entire career one year there’s an exemption like you can you can play another year on the PGA tour if you’ve had the idea is a a long enough career to be top 50 in official money you have a little downtime they reward you for all the success that you’ve had and you can get exempt to play because of top 50 he’s almost done it in one year six months there’s still two months left Greg there’s still two months left in the season June I think yeah it’s uh you know the you’re right that the purses are inflated I would love to see and I don’t I don’t think this is an official stat I think I just went back and looked at it a bunch but percentage of purses or percentage of money available one I think is a very interesting number because that sort of it normalized is what you’re like the inflation and everything else and I I don’t know I don’t have that off the top of my head I don’t even know if it’s a real stat I think I was just like I was like finding the stat at some point but that would be uh that would be a really interesting what we just talked about this on HQ what’s the what’s the Scotty ceiling can he get to nine can he get to eight so let’s think about his schedule a little bit um my guess would be he’ll play Scottish and open um and then Olympics and then three playoff events I forgot about Olympics does I don’t think it counts though I don’t think it counts for PGA Tour when but but it does count forg yeah no you’re right you’re right you get owgr points for it yes uh producer Josh said he’s maybe not playing the Scottish oh his next plan start is the open right now okay um so that would be open Olympics three playoff events three playoff yeah so if you take the Olympics out for PGA Tour stuff you’re talking about four more events yeah so you’d have to win I mean three of four 10 would be the ceiling which would give him 10 wins and two majors in one year if he swept from here out which is probably a stretch it has a stretch if he wins 10 times in in in two majors this year it’s it’s the greatest PGA Tour season of all time um it’s real close with tiger 2000009 wins and three Majors yeah I think I think the argument against this and I was thinking about this today because uh Liv was kind of happening in in conjunction with this PGA Tour event I think I I have some like the argument against this is that they’ve been small Fields without Ram Bryson uh cam Smith I don’t even know who else is playing well on live DJ is not playing that well T throw Taylor guc in there but really like your your your big dogs like Ron Bryson and cam Smith right and but it’s not just that Greg I think it’s also the size of the field because think about let’s say you double The Traveler field there’s probably one or two guys in that extra 70 they could make a run at 22 under I’m not saying they’re going to beat Scotty I’m not saying that they’re going to play better than Scotty I’m just saying it’s it feels this is what would dissuade you against getting like this being one of the great seasons of all time is because of the size of field and and sort of the guys that are not playing in some of these tournaments yeah I think that’s uh fair to some extent now on the other on the other side of the coin these players who are competing are are very incentivized to play well and compete and win um I I think that’s a portion of it he also he’s won two of these limited Fields right uh the memorial is a little a slightly bigger field the API is a slightly bigger field with the small cut so it just it’s a little like I’m not saying it’s a big deal and I think you know the other thing is like when when tiger was was winning in the 2000s or you look at VJ in in 2004 they didn’t have Signature Events that everybody was playing in right like you would you would have guys take off a memorial or a or a Bay Hill because that was not a place that they loved playing you know right and and you had it wasn’t a huge difference in in the purse it might be like well this is an the memorial is an eight million do purse and um and The Travelers is a$6 and A5 million do purse right okay well I’m gonna if I play better at The Travelers than I do at mirfield Village well I’m gonna make more money playing uh even though the purse is smaller yeah because I’m GNA play better I have no chance there that is not not the case now you got to play when you get into these things so maybe that all Nets out maybe maybe it’s just all like yeah yeah I tend to think it does and especially when you add in a Players Championship which has everybody except Taylor go yeah and the Masters yeah the Masters which is you can argue um and and his performances in in the majors aside from the US Open has been pretty darn good kind of proves the point that hey what we see these weeks I don’t in my opinion it wouldn’t really change ccces yeah it’s an interesting conversation at the very least producer Josh says he has the money list from 2000 so we get to see tiger in 2000 he won 9 million uh the next closest was Phil at 4.7 so that’s a little over half of what tiger earned and then Ernie L’s at 3.4 which is about a third how Sutton at three how or excuse me how suton at four how suton being jammed in between Ernie ell’s and VJ sing is amusing to me yeah and then you go on down Mike Weir David Duval yeser parnov Davis Love III and Big Stew sink yeah 10th two $2.1 million get you 10th on tour 2.1 get you like third place in the event this week yeah it’s unbelievable I don’t know do you have the 2024 available so we can we put them side by side at all producer Josh that’s probably a big ask just I’m just riffing here but um you know tiger in 2000 in 2000 basically doubled up second place which was Phil and I think so far Scotty has basically doubled up second place uh which is Xander I think Scotty’s at like 20 27.6 and Xander’s at 13 something 27 27 $27 million on the course this year yeah I mean it’s and again it’s it’s it’s normalized to a percentage of purse one and I think that uh yeah so okay here we go so well this is this is pre like the money from The Travelers has not hit yet so Scotty’s at 24 Xander’s at 12 Rory’s at 10 I mean this is this is actually a pretty good comp for 2000 right it’s it’s very close Rory is a little farther up than Ernie maybe yeah yeah I think they’re pretty close you’re right it is pretty close it’s pretty darn close Fifth ludig Fifth four times he’s he’s going to end up being like four times below that’s wow which is kind of you know pretty close to what VJ was it it’s it’s pretty spoton yeah yeah that’s a pretty that’s a pretty cool comp we I might have to use that for a uh for a column on Monday or something
