"Motive is to get more from the PGA Tour to try to get some flexibility on these media rights. I don't know exactly why he's doing it. I suspect it's one of those two reasons. And I just want him to speak plainly. So simmer down maybe too. Maybe just kind of like just play your golf dude and get over yourself trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think we can move on from Phil, a couple more things we got to touch on. I feel bad, continue to only talk about the men, but Bryson, dechambeau, wds, from that event. Nothing to see here, Sean. His WD is frankly one of the bigger aspects of the event, one of the bigger news stories to come from the event in part because he's injured right now. And I think a lot of people in the gulf world were waiting for an injury to pop up with Bryson. Whether or not it is an injury that is due to his buffing up his trying to swing at a level that the world's longest driver swing at all that stuff. He's heard his wrist. And he's potentially hurt his back. And he's not going to take any of us out with his hip and a wrist injury. So I think back is like the almost like the least of his issues at this point. But the least of his issues is explaining himself to the world, what's actually going on. He's definitely not going to explain necessarily what has happened to him. What do you think of it? Is this another issue of instance of Bryson kind of rebelling against communication and just believing that the world is filled with haters? Yes, first of all. But I think that I would be a little less hasty to dance on Bryson's grave than a lot of people are being..

"Go for it. But don't tell me that the PGA Tour is the greedy one here. You can have gripes with their media rights. I mean, look, we've had run ins with the PGA Tour. I would love to be able to take photos and videos at tour events. By all means, I would like to be able to cash in on that too, Phil, but it's just disingenuous and it's especially disingenuous because he's sort of citing like market value as if this alternative has anything to do with free market. It's not as if he's entering some world of free market capitalism here where Phil Phil is not going to be worth a $100 million if you have to see a proper return on investment. It's only because you're being propped up to sportswash the image of a country and how you feel about that again can vary. But I think we can all agree that that is what's happening and Phil Mickelson by saying what he's saying by saying obnoxious, you know, it's obnoxious greed by the PGA Tour, whether or not he has a point about the PGA Tour guarding media rights, et cetera is one thing, but to say that he is not being greedy to say that going to the Saudi side is somehow taking the moral high ground. That's where you lose me. And you know what? Phil has going for him. He has among he's among the most beloved golfers on the planet. And when you are one of the favorite athletes in any sport, everyone thinks that you are right about everything when it comes to your sport. And Phil is probably right about everything when it comes to hitting a golf ball, but when it comes to like legislating meteorites and working on people's opinions in the media, fill at this point in his life, is popping off a lot of stuff on Twitter..

"Are we going to be able to withstand this much Spieth acrobats? For the next 20 years, I mean, if this is how he plays his golf for the next 20 years, it's going to be really fun and really hard to believe in the guy and follow the guy and obviously a blast, but it's like, give us a through line here. I've got a question for you. Do you think the chatter, the speech chatter, the self commentary with greller, do you think that makes Spieth more or less endearing to fans? Because more endearing. There was a lot of microphone talk today. There was a lot of up close and personal. In order for it to be endearing, he needs to win once a year. If he does this for three years and doesn't win, suddenly, I think that flips back on him and is like, oh, he's kind of being petulant. Oh, he's complains a lot. Oh, another bad break for Jordan. If he does it while winning talks about the epic shot he's gonna hit into 13 asks Michael or what would Arnie do? Stuff like that and pulls it off and then wins, suddenly speeds champion that everybody loves. I do think it can go both ways. There are two hot mic moments that stood out to me. One Zilla just a little Easter egg for the drop zone listeners because this one I don't think anyone seemed particularly noticed, but as Joel Damon and Spieth were walking down the third fairway, they were just chatting. They were talking about some karaoke bar, and Jordan Spieth goes, oh yeah, I think we got kicked out of that one. Damon goes, yeah, you did someone dropped a beer bottle. And that was it. I mean, it was a classic moment where then the commentators started talking over them of talking about the two of them instead of just observing whatever they were talking about. But the second one was just to really bizarre moment on 18 where Spieth was convinced that he caught his hybrid pure and instead of just hit like a snipe hook that I don't know, maybe it went like one 60. I have no, I have no idea what the disconnect was there. I think he maybe just caught it a little heavy and it's sandy ground and it's a pretty tricky shot. But it's definitely it's nice. It's insightful. It's revealing to have all that microphone access. But yeah, of course it reflects better when things are going well. All right, let's move on from pebble beach in the PGA Tour action to PGA Tour players playing on the Asian tour..

"Not Patrick can't lay. That was, I'd say that was the biggest surprise of the day is Patrick cantlay vanished. I mean, rips driver to about 50 yards on like, okay, he's gonna have a really good look at birdie here on ten. Maybe this is Patrick cantley's day. No, it felt like not least. He was 300 through 6. It's a pretty good tee shot at 7 at that point. He's at 17 under. All I need to do is just sort of play it into the house, make a couple birdies on par 5s, take care of business, but instead he plays two over the rest of the way. Two is credit. He scared a bunch of cups. I mean, he was just rolling it over edges, but he mostly just played fairly uninspired golf. A lot of contention for Patrick can't lay early in this PGA Tour season. Not a lot of winning. And look, man, the drops on is all about trends. Patterns recognizing what's happening before people take notice of it. Patrick Hanley is either going to break through and win a big tournament soon or this lack of winning, put a little chink in the armor. That's all I'm saying. I mean, that's tough seeing as this is his third tournament that he's played since the church championship. And that doesn't include the rider cup. He finished fourth at the tournament of champions 9th at the AmEx and now what was he forth again here? T four, a lot of not winning. Hey, you know what? A couple weeks ago, you asked me is John rom, not a closer. I wanna return that on you. A Patrick cantlay stand and say, is Patrick can't lay? Not a closer. I would not say that. I would say today was felt more like a glitch in the matrix than something we should expect going forward. I mean, how would Jordan Spieth since Jordan Spieth's last victory in 2020? I'm not going to get out here and call speed closer. Look at that from me. Here's why I think here's what I think Spieth gets a pass and all this stuff. Watching speed that still feels like a borderline miracle that he's just there in contention. He makes it look so difficult to be there that we're just we're just sort of impressed that he's in the mix. And so when he finishes second on a day like today, it's like, oh, man, I mean, wouldn't accomplish accustomed to him essentially playing along the edge of a cliff with his golf game. He was not good at Torrey pines. He's really good. Again, this week, he might not be that good. This coming week, I don't even know if he's playing in the Phoenix open. We've grown accustomed to him not necessarily closing things out smoothly. So you know what he is right now? This era of Jordan Spieth is he is electric on a PGA Tour Saturday. That's kind of like where the last year has put him. You know, he's just going to that's not good though. He's going to suddenly be like 8 under through 13 on Saturday and go from the middle of the pack to right in the mix. That's kind of his brand at the second, which is pretty impressive. Definitely good for the shield. But yeah, but I kept thinking today, you know, he does some esque things, and people talk for years and decades now about what sav did as a golfer..

"Mean, he's just shipping his 7 iron. And he's trying to stay in a stable position. But Jordan Spieth, he really transfers his way down to his front foot in his golf swing. It's true. It's impressive that he pulled off the shot, didn't catch it thin and also didn't put himself at extra risk falling. Okay, that's fair. He was on a down slope when the initial video and screenshots were all from that drone or blimp shot from above. That's when I started to doubt it because I was like, okay, he could be on extremely solid ground, which I think he was on extremely solid ground, but it was a down slope. So a guy who moves forward in the gulf swing a lot. That's definitely sketchy. My first question is. What would our reaction have been if the guy goes and just grabs his ball and takes a drop on the other side of the hazard line? People would have been like, oh, come on, Jordan. What are you doing? I think, you know, he's a gamer at some point he probably thought, am I really going to not hit this shot? I think Michael greller would have liked to do that. I think in real time as his caddy slash angel on his shoulder, I think greller felt really conflicted. I think that he was probably just running through all possible scenarios in his head being like he's like the older brother who would be in a whole lot of trouble if the younger brother got hurt. And have we gone to is this the time where it goes too far? I mean, I think you're right because it's such a doable shot because you can see him pulling it off. I think that if he hadn't hit it, people would have been like, well, that's kind of weird. I thought this was our guy. But then watching him pull it off. I think his heart was racing. Yeah. Had to be. I'm not trying to take away everything from it. But I also just trying to get a bit analytical. Did he possibly endanger himself more by hustling back to greller in the fairway? Like running back so quickly. If you watch the footage, this is a guy who immediately after impact starts backpedaling as if the ground is falling beneath him. I think it would have been a lot more safe if he just kind of stood there for a second, take a couple steps back slowly as opposed to suddenly getting the ground beneath him moving super quickly, Jordan, things are moving quickly, and I don't necessarily approve how he did that..

"I'm feeling a little conflicted Dylan because last week, on this podcast, I said, you know, it's okay that will sell a Taurus lost because Luke list needed to get that victory. He needed to get his first win. Luke list was going to get his master's invite. Will zell tors is going to he's going to win and contend sometime later this year most likely. I think the same goes for speed, but I didn't feel the same way. I felt like, you know what? Screw Tom hoagie. I'm okay with Jordan Spieth winning. Am I a hypocrite? No, you're not a hypocrite because Jordan Spieth is not wills all Torres. When you're watching Jordan Spieth, try to win at pebble beach, you're watching something special. You get the feeling that you are, you're in the right place. You know, you're glad not to be watching the Pro Bowl, for example. If you're watching Tom hoagie win at pebble beach, maybe it's too late to say no offense to Tom hoagie. But it doesn't elevate the event in the same way. When we had Jordan Spieth and Patrick cantlay in what looked like it was potentially going to be a two man battle near the end of the front 9. When it looked like it was those two guys dueling for the win, this event started to feel big. I know the talent was not there. The field was pretty weak, but when it's those two guys on that golf course, it starts to feel like a big event. When it's a Tom hoagy coronation coming down the 18th hole when you've got both types of bow hosler stocks come on, bow hit the green from 200 and when you got boha than just juicing bunker shots past the pin and three putting for bogey. It came to a bit of a thud of a conclusion after just some heart racing action over the last really day and a half. Yeah, day and a half meaning, inclusive of speech Saturday in which everyone and their mother freaked out about the approach that he hit into I think the 8th hole, is that right? He had hit his the atoll, yes. Jack Nicholas called it the greatest approach shot in all of golf. Yeah. And there was Jordan Spieth. His favorite par four, I believe in the world. Maybe his favorite golf ball in the world..

"All right, folks, and other golf week in the books, welcome back to the drop zone. My name is Dylan to chair. I'm here with Sean zock, and we've got a couple big stories this week. The first one, we just had a celebration of Jordan Spieth. The best and maybe not the worst, mostly the best, but we definitely got the full roller coaster experience. Sean, what's on your mind this week? Well, I was on vacation this week, so I wasn't paying too much attention, but I think it was pretty darn impossible to avoid everything that was being written, tweeted and played over in Saudi Arabia for better or for worse. I don't quite know how to feel about it all, and I am interested in talking about all that with you. So you're going to need to help me out. All right, let's unpack both of those and more welcome.

"And then on the other side of the pond, the field just gets bombed out and depleted by the not only the dudes that went over this week, but the events surrounding it on the PGA Tour also going to pay a pretty big price for those fields. And I just go back to what brought me into being a golf fan way, way, way back in the day. Before I understood how the money how professional sports work, you just turned on the TV and for whatever reason you cared about the result of what was happening. The longer I do this job, the less I do care about that, I don't like that about my fandom, but if it gets into if all of the top tour pros end up going to play this global tour, that will be completely gone. I did not care who won that tournament in Saudi Arabia, even a little bit. There's just no that whole mystique of being built on have been a golf fan. I can't wait to see what happens and who succeeds here and who fails. If that's gone, I'm not. I'm not a fan of that. I can't be a fan of that. I can't pretend to be a fan of that. So do I want that to unfold? I don't. That's where I eventually pulled back to of like, yeah, it doesn't make financial sense or oh they'd be fools to turn down the money, any of that. Sure, maybe they would, but I'll go do something else with my time then. That's not going to be, and I think a lot of people are going to have that opinion. And so I do think we're at a crazy crossroads where you got to find out why you do follow and watch professional golf, and that's where I met out. I don't know where you guys do. Brendan poor, I had a great point that the whole thing feels a little bit like NBA free agency. When everybody gets all whipped up in the summer and it's just like, oh, who signed where for how much? Oh, who's gonna be the super team? What's going on? Blah blah blah and then the game starts. It's like, okay, cool. I'll see you guys at the playoffs. But if it was also like, yeah, LeBron just signed with Brazil. You can do that. Yeah. Exactly. Well, we had a good convo downstairs watching the end of the gulf about the Saudi stuff or even like Abu Dhabi. It's like that stop has been on the Euro tour, or now the dude perfect tour for a long time. And it's almost like, oh, well, in a way, what's the, yeah, there are different countries, but they're kind of in the same region, same fam in a way. And I guess where I've done a lot of reflecting on this of like, why am I going to get all triggered about this? And to me, it is if the Saudi international was a stop on the tour, I'd be like, okay, that's fine. And then if some guys are gonna take some appearance fees to go, that's one thing, where I start to have a problem with it is like you're the secret's out. What if we instead of giving them 500 K or a $1 million, what if we just offer a $100 million and we just take over golf? And that's where it's like, yo, that's not a thing. That's a different thing to me. I'm not down with the Saudis chopping people up into little pieces. That's not good. But if they have a stop, they want to be a stop. I'm going to do on that. No, if they want to go on a piece on a professional golf tour, you know, I'm fine with that, honestly. It's like, hey, they're going to buy their way in. And yeah, if it's a money grab for a DJ or a co crack, it's like, you know, I don't love that you're flying over there for just to play that when you're not on the Euro tour. But when it's like, yo, no, no, no, we're just gonna make our own tour and we're just gonna we're just gonna buy our way into this thing and it's gonna ruin it for everybody else because it's gonna decentralize the talent and it's gonna make it boxing where there's all these different title belts now and the only time we're gonna see these guys together is that the majors, maybe maybe then it gets a little less then I'm frustrated and I don't know how I feel about that. That feels a bridge too far for me. And that's what it seems like is happening. And this is not fun to talk about. I don't want to talk about Saudi Arabia every week on the fucking golf podcast. I really don't. And I don't have enough energy to be outraged about it every week either. And that's where I'm struggling too, where it's like, I get exhausted with this shit. And I also get exhausted when it's like, I gotta get hyped to talk about Tom hoagie winning. You know? Because all these other guys are playing in some tournament I didn't watch because it went all at 9 a.m. this morning. And I was out running errands. So I'm sorry. No, that's great. That's where I'm at. It's not fun to talk about. It's not, and this is where I don't want to be morality, please. I'm not comfortable enough with my own views. My knowledge of all world issues to my issue is people are like, oh, do you write an ubers like the Saudis are invested in that? It's like, well, I don't care if Jason Kokrak takes an Uber. Like, do I think it's very different than the sport that we cover being the Jason ko crack plays?.

"I mean, that could be not a good idea. I don't know. And now, you know what, I kind of see where you're going at with the speed thing, maybe it wasn't that dangerous. Yes. He's got one foot over the edge right now. It just seems lighting is about short side. If the torque actually had $20 billion in, you know, a safe. That was before the speed highlight. It might be more than that. But that's probably like, oh, they don't have that. That money doesn't. I guess that's what it could be if they gave him access to it. He's like, I could turn this into 20 billion. It's just out of nowhere. It's like, man, this is so unnecessary. And it's like, okay, I think he has an argument that the Tor could update their media rights and relations. They could modernize some things, the leverage has worked as far as competition goes. The pip is an example of that. The key chick alliance. The business top ten just finished up. All the every single person has gone up, all the bonuses doing this, though, also. The FedExCup came around in 2007, that money has continually gone up like the tour executive job is to go out there into the market and create opportunities for the players. And this competition from the PGA and the STO has been a net good I think for making the tour like lighting a fire a little bit. I think communication wise though. I think it's the immediacy. If they had a plan of we're going to roll it out over this many years, it's kind of like they bump maybe some stuff up a little bit, but I think this money was gonna be coming. Like the TV deal, I don't think it probably actually players probably don't even think about this. Probably cost themselves some money in the TV deal or some clauses within that TV deal that are like, hey, if some of these rival leagues get off the ground, like CBS, MBC, are we going to be on the hook to broadcast, I'll say, because he's long been the joke. Broadcast Tom hoagie went in golf tournaments, but I think the leverage has helped the timeline, but I really don't believe that the tour all of a sudden was like, oh my God, we need to pay the players more. Or they're gonna leave. I think it was like the information does not flow very well. I think a lot probably due to ignorance from the players more so than the communication from the tour. I don't know. Probably both sides can understand it better. Regardless, things are happening. Right? Pip stuff. They're like, okay, we need to make sure that the top players feel like they're being rewarded. This is a definition of like it's like Phil that you have an argument on that stuff. The definition of overplaying your hand. Like yo man, I also like to live dangerously. Like what what's the point of and it's like the collateral damage is just like, yo, it's tough to root for you like that. Why did you have to go that extreme with this? It's so out of left field in a way to just lighting it all on fire to go to Saudi Arabia to collect a paycheck for playing the Saudi international in king Abdullah economic city at royal green's country club, whatever it is. And to use the phrase that the tour, which is not a thing, by the way, has obnoxious greed is like, dude, how are we? How do you sell this to people, huh? Go back in time, maybe walking into a bad example here. But for you guys, the year 2012, is there any tournament any moment that stands out to you off the top of your head? I would say the Ryder Cup. Okay, but like PGA Tour event. Is there a masters? Was something that happened in 2012 that you remember. For me, it's Phil shooting 64 at pebble and Tiger shooting 75 in the final group. Tiger and Phil playing in the final group at pebble. That's what that event was. Now, he's in Saudi Arabia that same week taking a paycheck and referring to something else as obnoxious greed. How much money has filled earned? These are $95 million on the course. Off the course, the numbers are probably staggering. Forbes reported in 2016 that he made $53 million, 2016 was probably not the peak year of his income. So if we're talking Phil's probably brought in between 508 100 million over the course of his life along maybe 20 billion for all we know by his count. So like, how can anything how can you take that money at age 51 and call this obnoxious greed? It's not good. It's such a tough look. I think we got a lot more to get that, but.

"And then it was just he was freed up after that. It feels like the energy it takes for Spieth. It looks exhausting. To put those four rounds together and compared to like, well, that's just like on autopilot. I watch it blew it at the end, but it doesn't look like he was even trying. I was just watching Bo hossler hit like 7 hours. Oh, that looks easy. Yeah. Maybe I could do that. He makes that look pretty cool. It seems like the beef is just like so much. So he's trying not to get hit by a car out there. It's just yeah. It's like trying to mine crypto. So much so much energy. It's like we're there are villages that are just getting vaporized. It's just the AC went out, yes, Spieth is like he's got an 8 footer for par. He's rolling blackouts where he's going. Exactly. So if you're in the Phoenix area, I would watch that gas at the generator for next week. Kilojoules, right? I think major amounts of tools. So many watts. Yeah. Jules Verne. It just feels so give me a lot of time. You've lost me. I was gonna say more coverage of Monterey Peninsula this year. That was a very nice thing to see. Sure. I don't ever remember the question. I was thinking about this on watching Friday. Why? Fans can go over to mpc. God it feels like just go park on 17 mile drive when get in the Gates and you could see all the all the golf you won over there. You know, it didn't look like there was anybody over there. I guess it's pretty low key. I guess the parties at pebble, but I feel like it'd be more fun to watch over there. If you're ever going to that tournament, walking around spyglass is so underrated, it's so cool. And PCC as well. It's truly stress free stuff over there. And then that would be a great event. I mean, obviously, it's pebble beach. Be a great event to go as a fan. And I would say, especially even with the pro am set up, there probably isn't a tournament that doesn't off balance from a TV coverage standpoint to an attendance. I would jump at the chance to go next year because it's an awesome world. Big Bill Murray guy, right? Not so much. Well, that's cool to see someone like, you know, Belichick's out there, or like, it's fun to see some famous faces playing with these guys. So I'll ride as well. I kept saying it today, but the U.S. women's open next year at pebble is going to be one of the coolest events of the year. That would be a really, really cool. The pro am sucks on TV, or at least for the for Sunday. I feel like there's two days I'm cool with you showing me, you know, you're gonna overplay Bill Murray, but I like watching some of these amateurs play. I feel like they've done a decent job at evolving it. Like quietly, all right, we got Dallas back a little bit. They used to be that once the Saturday broadcast was the worst broadcast of the year, they would have Clint Eastwood in there. What do I change? It feels like they kind of got the message of like, all right, yeah, I get show some mclemore show some schoolboy Q at one point today. And we cut over to Willie Nelson's son here's okay. He looks like Steve zahn. You know you gotta get this one moving pretty quickly. I asked you guys this earlier. Why don't they cut the pro am off on Saturday? Because it feels like an unfair advantage for like can't lay still playing with his, you know, with DJ diesel, your dad. They're selling all men. They're so in a pretty nice price the opportunity. I got his dad into the pro am. That's the work he's been trading on the NLU name for his father. Absolutely disgusting. That's true. I was going to say I just want to be clear on this because that is not the case. Somebody sorry, you're right, uncle. Uncle, yes. Somebody's going to take that around. Goldman Sachs is not solid. No relation whatsoever. No relationship. No. The real answer like the my answer to your question of is like, yeah, Neil, I totally agree. I think they should cut out the celebrities on Sunday. I think the real answer is what's all I was getting out there. Just do some money. Yeah, the tournament raises a ton of money from people signing up to play. And that's the I mean, you just got done saying the atmosphere on the ground. That is the fabric of the tournament. It's just interesting to see final groups like half the guys are playing with a pro am partner and the other half aren't. That's another advantage for the guys that aren't. Is that all from pebble? You guys got anything else? I just had a good time watching it. It was nice. It was nice to have on today. Unsubscribing me from all the pebble actually stinks newsletters. I'm not interested in reading it. I had a great time. It was so shitty in Jacksonville today. It was blustery and cold and gray and all I wanted to do was just watch pros hit shots into 6 and 7 and 8. I had a great time watching. I attribute firmness to that though. I totally agree. It can be a dull watch when the ball stops right where it lands. And I would say it could be better. Sure. Well, Neil, when they task you to redesign it, I'll champion it. I agree with you that it's not a goat track. Yeah. So I'm not here for that argument, but it also could be a little better. So, well, it's time. The moment we've been waiting for, has.

"Growth? We're not a company balanced on, hey, in a couple of years, we're going to make some money. And we're going to be okay. We have that balance. We got and I think more and more the market is going to recognize. And it's starting to recognize, hey, this is a real company with real profits. You kind of open the door to the CNN discussions. I think, because you have been quoted to say how important it is to the company. And you mentioned that again. And people have pointed out that now with Jeff gone Zucker going, you've got to figure out a strategy there. And how to move forward with that. And I know you're going to tell me that you can't talk about it yet, because you don't have the company yet. And you're probably precluded from doing that. But can you talk in general terms about whether that's an issue since you say it's such an important part of the new company? Sure. Well, look, news, and we've seen this throughout my 30 plus years in this business. People get up in the morning and they want to know what's going on. Am I okay? What's going on in the world? When I got what I got to NBC in 1988, Jack Welch and bob Wright hired me to build a cable group. We launched CNBC. We launched this service. Look how powerful this service is around the world. Then we launched with Microsoft, MSNBC. After we launched CNBC, we launched together with chuck dull and the first regional news network. News 12 Long Island. News is critical. It's something people watch every day. And when you look at the churn on these subscription services, one of the most powerful indicators is, how often do they go there? So we're now. So one, I believe that news is going to be really critical and you could own it. Sports is more of a rental business, unless you want the league. All the entertainment we have, we own, news we own, and with leader in news in Poland. So we're not new to this game. I've been around news for more than half of my career. Hey, David, it's Andrew here back in New York. Because you're talking about news, but the question that I was going to ask you is about the strategy and to the extent you can talk about the strategy of CNN plus, which was going to be a separate subscription product and whether that is going to be the case in the future or you think that that ultimately works better as part of this package, bundle you're talking about. But I'm also hoping you can speak directly, Jeff, of course, was a good friend of yours for many years. I imagine he continues to be a friend of yours. Was he a key man in your mind for this transaction? Okay, Andrew. I can't speak to where two separate companies I haven't been involved in any of the decision making. In fact, I haven't really gotten business reviews yet on a number of the businesses or really any of the businesses..

"To talk more about the merger between AT&T is WarnerMedia and discovery. Someone who hopefully knows a lot about it, discovery CEO David zaslav. I met David. Hi Becky. I didn't. You're not like the dog chasing the bus Arya and catches it and it's like, oh my God, what am I going to I finally got it? What am I going to do, but I mean, this is a big job you've got now. And it's a daunting future and I am glad that you, not me, obviously, but media is difficult. How are you going to where is media and what are you going to do with this great new shiny object you have? Well, first, it is a little bit surreal. This is a fantastic collection of assets. I've been at discovery for 16 years and we've been we've gone from a cable business, a U.S. cable business to the leader internationally. We ate at sports. We added free to air. And we've always owned our IP. To put that together now, at a time of transition, with the great assets that John Stankey and his team have HBO really in a leadership position in terms of quality and content, Warner Brothers, television, over almost 400 shows that one of the biggest producers makers of content in the world Warner Brothers motion picture. And CNN, the greatest news gathering organization and news the only really powerful global news force in the world. Putting that all together, it's really formidable. And it is exciting. We've been spending a lot of time thinking about what could we be. But it's coming, I think it really the right time because more and more when consumers are thinking about where they want to go. They don't want to go to 8 or 9 different places. And they're not going to pay. For multiple multiple different options. And we have when this company comes together, this is something that John and I spent a lot of time talking about. The broadest menu of entertainment from kids to adults, to teenagers, the greatest movie library, TV library, and we have more local content than anybody in the world, motion pictures. So we have this great entertainment menu, which should keep people in the home from the kids to the grandparents. Why would they go anywhere else? And then with leader in news to the left, and we're now one of the leaders in the last did you say to the left? Man, you weren't kidding. That was an assignment. Probably should have said, I'm sorry. So at a time of disruption, owning more IP. More diversity of IP. And being able to get on a train that's already moving, the cell like 74 million subscribers, we have over 20 million subscribers. We have very, very low churn..

They are live at the AT&T pro am in pebble beach and they've got a huge lineup to bring us this morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Andrew. Feeling so alive. So alive. It's three 30, right? It's dark and early here, but it's dark and early. Yeah. But you've been hanging with me. We've got a cool crowd. You're bringing us. Right. We don't really get off east coast time. So it is early at one week does not get us off our schedule. That's the way that's the way I felt okay about the one 30 alarm setting today. I was kept adding that back in. That's really four 30, which is actually an hour later. It's we have guests, Andrew. The one issue it is early. And the other thing there is still some optics, I think, for some of these guys, but there are people here Andrew. This is almost like sun valley with a tournament, because a lot of people are here. A lot of people. So give them and give us some and Mike worth it. Give us a little bit of behind the scenes. Then I'd have to then I'd have to kill you. Well, apparently there were some moves at CNN that I heard about. And we got the right guest for that this morning too. I was into the vicinity of those guys when that news came out and they were shocked. They were not shot. I actually said did you guys know about this? I guess I don't know who knew. But obviously these are the guys in charge and it will be good to get the inside story. Yeah, John Stankey, the CEO of AT&T, David zaslav. We'll be joining us. What's the mood out there? I mean, Facebook on Wednesday, everybody thought the world was over, then yesterday it was like it was like opposite day. So what are people saying? It's not quite like sun valley in that the mood out here is these greens are like 14 on the stent meter. So that's really kind of the mood is abject fear of a downhill putt in it. But there is other stuff going on, obviously..

You go to watch you sit. You go to a smaller resort. Right. It can be affordable. If you make it, you know. Nobody talks about golf being so expensive. Like, a golf is pebble beach, you know, Tori times. Well, I think the idea is that nobody wants to see skiing be golf. And I harp on this a lot. He's the comparison gets made often on the show and to me where I'm like, I don't want these two things to be the same, right? They have a lot of similarities in terms of traffic and who they're for. So they get compared to each other a lot of times. Yeah. My question is, and we can kind of go on to some of this data in the participation study. We're talking about all this stuff, but it doesn't seem like people are like, it hasn't changed, really, right? So last year, more participants who made more who made minimum a $100,000 was higher in 2020 to 2021 than the previous. That's right. By a significant margin, male participants who have historically made up the majority of participants was even more true in 2020 to 2021. And it was more people that are white, non Hispanic people than ever before. So what do we do to change that? Because if you ask anybody in skiing and in the outdoor industry, business is booming right now, right? Like business is good. Yeah. Well, how do we change business is good to businesses great and kind of get more people into the sport and what, like, I don't know, that's the biggest issue that I think this sport is facing, aside from climate change right now. I don't know. It's not even really a question. I was surprised to see that it dipped down from the years prior. Yeah. I mean,.

I'm looking over for less than two as if we throw another car that we're showing on the lawn into the mix you might come the grief. Oh prototype that's coups fuck. I don't have a reason to come to look at one car. is suspicious kid. Username i sold a manual transmission. Mark for supra for seventy thousand in december of two thousand twenty. But i'm kicking myself over the price increase since then. How do i stop feeling like. I made a poor financial decision. It's taking a toll on my mental health. What do you say to someone who feels like. They sold a car early even if they sold it for great money at the time. It's great money at the. It's cars are an investment so not financial property if you can get lucky and bail out of something after using it for a while for six months a year or ten years at a grand slam. Cars aren't financial assets depreciating assets or increasing liabilities. It i fucked up i sold. I paid over. When i bought my. Yeah they sold for three hundred and five. Because i sold at the wrong time today. It's four fifty. yeah i just. I wasn't in love with the car with the single mass. Flywheel got rid of it. Sold it to a guy who's thrilled and he's like yeah. I can't believe that car you so me. I made a hundred and fifty grand. I can't well good. Fred keepdriving it. Well you can't if you give yourself a break. So i'm assuming he didn't pay seventy grand for that either. The implication the question is i made a profit. But if i held i could have made more. I bought a skyline. Gtri are thirty two mint for seventeen thousand five hundred dollars in two thousand fourteen right. I then sold it in two thousand fifteen for thirty six thousand dollars that card today. We'd probably fifty five or sixty thousand dollars. But i made money. I think the caveat caveat oh this is like the next day there can be a black swan event.

How Bandon Dunes revolutionized golf
"There aren't many golf courses in the world that are better than Bandon dunes but bannon's lasting legacy isn't as a golf course it doesn't idea. That north. America can have true links golf and even better that it can have remote golf courses that can turn into bucket lists destinations. Plenty of course have followed in. BANDON footsteps like cabot links to Nova Scotia or sand Bali and Wisconsin. It's a movement. But it sure didn't start that way. I'm to chair on today's drop zone. Here's how one course in nowhere Oregon turned into an entire movement all by accident. The story of Bandon, Dunes begins with David McLay Kidd A. Scottish. Twenty six year old who had dreamt of becoming a golf course architect but had no concrete path to making that happen. So back in nineteen ninety, four I was twenty six years old and working for the. Detail in Scotland My father was a the golf courses manager and I was working for the development division of. Detail effectively. And I was hating all the Gulf Bar and I was a wannabe golf course architect type I'd done a couple little things but nothing really of any note. And Mike Kaiser Have Franko Rick Summers who's the current owner of PGA Goldman? Zine And Mike said to rick SARS I've got this piece of land on the Oregon coast a WanNa build on authentic Scottish Irish links experience who you guys she'd higher I'm thinking of hiring you know told Vase Your Jack Nicklaus or Pete Dye or a Rick said will you should hire a Scottish golf course architect if you want something authentic in a Mike Chuckled and said, I, would but the old died one hundred years ago. At this point, it wasn't just mcclay kid who was an unknown the Golf World Mike Kaiser was to. He'd made his money by bringing a fresh mindset to the greeting card business decades before need proven to be a smart businessman. But. That doesn't guarantee any success as a wannabe course developer. As an outsider is first instinct might have been a hire a big name architect someone from the establishment to give his project credibility. But maybe he had it in the back of his mind that fellow outsider would be a more proper fit. So he invites David McLay kidd the remote site on the Oregon coast to check things out. and. So I arrived on the state. With my dad. So holding my hand and we will the sixteen hundred acres I remember. Mike Mike is wasn't there. I'd never ma'am yet. He's a caretaker shorty who even then in the seventeenth was our chaperone for the week. So David and his father walked the property with his caretaker shorty Dow and they're thinking themselves. What if you're doesn't know any better? What if he might hire a no name? But shorty keeps asking mcclay kids, business card and eventually he gives them one. In short, he pulls out a stack of cards. He's recently collected mcclay. Kid realizes that every major golf course architect has walked the same site and I realized that might Kaiser was pretty astute and he was he was looking at every possible option as an architect to do this. This set something off in mcclay kid if he's going to be an underdog, well, he may as well act like one. At that point I think I go a little a fire in my Bailey probably because I realized that this guy was never going to hire me I have anything to show I there was no way I was twenty six. So he's going to hire some big name but Hale I'm not going to leave here with my gender my chest I'm gonNA leave with my hailed high. So I went to the local drugstore I bought a dozen sheets of poster board and a few marker pains and I rule what would now be considered a powerpoint presentation. I did it on poster boards with a Marker Pens And Mike Kaiser flew in a few days later in his private jet with some of the executives from Cambridge sports and some of his buddies and I laid. half a dozen or dot com you remember no posterboards that told Mike Kaiser this rich guy from Chicago with a great piece of land, what it would take to build. A true authentic links course in America, and I did so with kind a little chip on my shoulder because I figured with my relatively limited knowledge of Link School Golf in America that there was nothing authentic I was told Pebble beach was a links course doesn't look like it to me I. I was told you know the latest Gulf course by whichever. PGA Pro you WanNa pick a that was in the mountains of southern California was a links course was the farthest thing from the truth. So when I painted I a scenario to Mike Kaiser I said, Hey, if you really want to build a true links course in America years, what it takes and I had a half a dozen points and there were absolutely critical. Such as. You can't have golf carts. There's no golf carts in the British isles, you walk. There's no fancy clubhouse I on the ocean. That's where you put the best green. The clubhouse is back in a corner. The base land is Gulf. The fairways aren't flat. They're pitching in tumbling. There aren't any lakes. There's no babbling streams. There's no car pass. The grasses we use these old style firm grasses van may even have told him there's no arrogation. Can't quite remember what if I said none on a of the bunkers aren't these or MIBA Cloverleaf shapes there these pulp bunkers. Are there to punish the bowl not to Be Up on the week. And as I went through this explanation of links Gulf. Mike had a wry smile on his face and in his. Cohorts laughed openly I load at the ridiculousness of such thought in the sophisticated Gulf market of the United States. I assume that when my father and I left the very next day, we would never hear from Mike Kaiser Regain are crazy Scottish ideas of goal in America were just that while. American. Goal for would traits all the way to the southern. Shores to play golf in the wind and rain and walk and find themselves in eight. Pulp on Kerr surrounded by facie grasses and pitching fear waste were not a single flat lies available such a scenario could never ever work.

Author Michael Murphy on 'Golf in the Kingdom'
"This is Alan ship. I am delighted to be joined by Michael Murphy author of Golf in the Kingdom still going strong eighty nine Michael. Thank you for doing this well. It's a pleasure. You have such a unique place in the game Euro Golfing Kindo as in your early forties. I'M NOT GONNA say it was a Lark but it was a you're not you're not a Gulf writer. You're not a novelist it just emerged from you in ever. Since you've been this Oracle you've been this grand old man of letters in the game you you tell shape how think about it. So are you still tickled that all these years later people are still finding this novel enjoying it? Well I I love it. I could say channel that because it was not only the first book I wrote the First Book I never tried to ride and I started it as I was turning forty and it was published in one thousand nine hundred ninety two forty seven years ago so when I was forty one so here we are now forty eight years later and it has. His Life Taught Me. I could ride so that in itself was an enormous pleasure and a big force to shape by subsequent life. I never thought of myself as a writer. My brother Was the designated writer in our family might and he had been a successful novelist and my grandfather had delivered John. Steinbeck and Salinas or you and I were both born and You know rules can get us. Signed the kids growing up and I was supposed to be a doctor and Than the more for me Thought I'd be a psychiatrist. And then got to Stanford and found myself in class on comparative religions of that led me to the philosophy and the way of life that shaped me ever since when I was nineteen and twenty but never along the way there was thought. Start writing books so anyway. When I sat down to write this book really did come in a flood. And it's Been living in me ever since I've written eight books now but that one If it were to be one of my children Children it would be among my books. It was my first child by far the most successful and I would say influential. Books are mysterious things. I like to say sometimes. Ufo's identified writing objects you W os or you are os. Son identified reading objects that can open worlds to people. And that's what's actually happened with this book with golf in the Kingdom one of the things about our shared hometown of Salinas which is just a dusty little farming community in the Central Valley known to John. Steinbeck doesn't have that much else to recommend it. It's not that far from pebble. Beach Golf links which figures prominently in my life story and and was important part of Gulf education. So tell us about your early days of playing pebble with with your brother and of course guys would haunt the Cosby Klanbake back. When he was really a big deal with Hogan snead Nelson and Bing crosby's the star in the world so is important from Stamford but it starts with your golf education before that while. That's right I mean we've had very fortunate childhoods you and I and my brother and Yes we would there be there at the crosby so I get to follow Ben Hogan around and watched him up close and personal before and after his accident. Which was in I guess January of Nineteen forty-nine so he missed that whole year in the hospital but he used to partner with Bing crosby and that was fun and Johnny Weissmuller who was the Great Olympic champion of became Tarzan. And the movies anyway. It was those great events and of course plane pebble which to this day remains by far my favorite course and it has to be. I mean there's of course in the world I think more beautiful than pebble. There are others that when you look at them would be beautiful. But to match the incredible range of moods it gets into with the shifting light the shifting fog the filaments of fog that cut across the fairways and all but anyway quyen pebble seen Some of the players in particular Hogan up close definitely was an influence on on golfing. The King wrote about it will hoge himself makes a handful of cameos in the text. Including what was it? The moved you so much about him well his magnetism on the course then he won eight out of eleven majors. He played over that period from forty eight to fifty through fifty three and he After the accident he paid just eighteen tournaments through fifty-three thickening one ten of them. He won virtually every major so he was the top of the game. He was to golf then way. Tiger Woods has been also the quality of his presence and when he would crack this out Just by the second hole at pebble for those who have been developed. Now it's then built up but there was a big field of practice in the pros as well as the onlookers. Got To sit down and watch him. Maybe there'd be hundred. Fifty people big big arena there watching him practice and it was a sight to behold because he had an immense repertoire of shots to fade to draw low high and the silence and that meant a huge impression on me and. I'm sure that as I sat down to write though I didn't plot the book or shape the book deliberately around him that influence. I'm sure was like an acorn growing into this conscious. Us of what the game could be as a kind of If you WANNA call it Yogi you can call it contemporary. You can call Chamonix even exercise golf itself is what in the eastern martial arts. Would you could call a Kata which is a series of movements. That trigger it is said are esoteric anatomy that is the complete person we are both in the flesh and in our soul are in the consciousness itself and golf swing. You could argue is an unnatural. Act It's not like running or throwing which are species learn to do and could do To survive. But you don't take a tee up a ball and hit it at the on charging tiger you know as a member of the tribe so it's an acquired skill that requires the most gypsum concentration and commitment to play it. Well and for this reason he and other reasons it evokes corresponding states of mind which can be interfered with with strong emotions whether rage or grief or sorrow which can produce by this fiendish challenge to get this small ball into this tiny hole and to go after four five hours over the course of four miles. You know. It's on the face of an absurdity. A why are we doing this? And that can occur to while playing. Why am I doing this but you do it? And you have these incredible pleasures and experiences and then as I've discovered through Responding to the book experience you have to call super-normal Mr Cool or cold. In other words the game can do that and It helps to be in a beautiful place like Pebble Beach. The you bring to this conversation. Just leaps off the page. I mean that's I think why the book is in bird because as you say it's this pursuit of ours is is maddening. It makes no sense but we do it anyway. And we were able to put a voice to having a correspondent. Brad faxon about the book and he said what I love about it is it made it okay to to speak of these things and you gave us in vocabulary to this experience at the golfers of had. But I you can get those tools so you matriculate to Stanford and as a fellow Salinas Person. I know it's not the most open minded place to Nag towns little conservative. But you have sort of a life altering experience stafford and what exactly happened well. I was so inspired by this professor. Frederic Spiegelberg he them a born and raised in Germany and Taught was teaching Stanford Comparative Religions so I got exposed to eastern philosophy and meditation contemplation than and particularly the world view of Indian philosopher. A named Sheera window who had been educated in England very elite education. His family had instructed his patrons in England never to let him speak any Indian language so he wanted to English but he was a philosopher and writer kind of a renaissance figure and developed a worldview. That's been the most basic influence on me. There are many influences of prompted me to do what I've done and of course the mystery is. Why chose this story? I could have gotten so many other directions but I consider myself very lucky. A Norman Mailer. The writer argued that every aspiring writer is given one free one by God and that was my free one and it was the first one and it in turn golf in the kingdom has shown me that this birth of new capacities is much more common than most people realize because immediately upon publication people started letting me know about their mystical experiences called experiences on golf courses. I wrote the book on some inspiration but I if you had asked me then that people would be having experiences you know immediately lawyer. New York wrote to me and was just couldn't get over this book. It helped him understand that. How on this particular occasion he'd been standing on the T. of four hundred yard and there were no players between him and his forces have been the green said he could see clear. A ball marker the size of a dime on this whole quarter of a mile away. Two of his playing partner couldn't even see the green. I got it was there. So he wondered. Is this the sort of thing you're talking about or a woman rights to me right away and says the yearbook helped me in? Because not long ago I was playing the eighteenth hole of at my Country Club as the sun was setting and when we got to the green the sun had set but it was still shining through the green and I felt that maybe this was some after glow on my is some retinal shock or something but when they went into the clubhouse who shining through the walls and it shown like that for three days and I was in an exaltation and thank you for writing the book because I found author who bite understand this experience so when you then I started getting these things. It pushed me in the direction of seeing the genius of sport to elicit this experience but not reported by sportswriters very often. You know there've been a few writers who have glimpsed this John Updike. He recognized this and Bernard Darwin. You know the great writer grandson. Charles Darwin he read the links of either down one of his short stories. I mean he certainly could see it. The mystery of golf by Arnold Hall Taint. So there's been a vein of golf writing that shows this power of the game not only to enchant but to reveal these capacities so that in turn has led me into other sports. And so I've been out to meet with coaches and players of ever since about what you would call the inner game of Sport and that Inter has led me to appreciate how prevalent it is in everyday life but not commonly discussed and recognized until recently. Thank you God for giving me go for the Kingdom as my first book.

Adam Scott Emerges From Crowded Field to Win Genesis Open
"Adam Scott doesn't seem like he's won like five genesis before they shouldn't. You shouldn't have already been a real winner. It at Riviera explained the whole real winner. Thirty six hole win which I don't remember honestly two thousand five I can't claim to and then they went out and played some sort of modified playoff. Yeah only Chad Campbell. I guess and check Campbell. So did he get the full money for that? He got money and I think you got the trophy. I just don't think he got the official win. Okay it was. It was the Dustin Johnson Pebble Beach Title Okay. the second whole array of this week played barely over par by the way which is maybe a sign of the ball. My finally go too far. We'll we'll talk a little distance on the back end we Obviously broke down the. Usda Distance Report on last week's episode with K v V. But I WANNA get some random thoughts. I think you're chatting before we started here. Tc About Adam. Scott being you know maybe the wilderness that kind of the narrative that was being pushed was you know maybe a bit bit too far. Yeah he's been in the top fifty in the world. Since two thousand he had two solo seconds last year formers and memorial and then won the Ozzy. Pga At the end of the year there. didn't have a great twenty eighteen but solo third at the PGA Championship. I am shocked to see him putting as well as he is Is it don't know if there's anything to it that he put these are the hardest. Greens on tour to PUTT statistically this in pebble and he puts them really well. That's a sign of like nothing matters on these Greens. I don't I don't know what it means but I'm sure that I'm sure you probably feels like nobody's making butts out. Here actually might have an advantage out here. Just frees him up Randy Wise Rev week one of your favorites you. You've talked about more than I've heard you talk about any other golf course. I think it's It's such a nice course I think it starts with the course You know some iconic holes. I mind is Probably number ten which I know we can get into a little bit Eighteen you know everybody can kind of picture that uphill dogleg right with the clubhouse up there. I think you know for me. It's just Just seems to produce such a good tournament year after year after year And I don't think that's an accident when we're talking about the golf course. It's the end of the West Coast swing. I think there's a bit of sadness or melancholy that you know. My favorite part of the years is coming to an end and honestly you know. Mickelson always played well out there so that doesn't hurt But yeah that's I I don't know I think it's just the the whole. Go Sycamore. Trees I I it just really looks good on TV. And I think that for me. That's where it starts with Y enjoy the week so well similar to Augusta in in some way it's always creates a lot of drama in that guy's in groups ahead had these little stretch is a whole where you can get it like ten eleven. You know you've made that turn you. There's a couple of gettable holes and guys can make birdies get up close to that lead and but the leaders back there haven't played the easy holes yet so it kind of creates this ton of excitement and you can't really tell who's in the lead like you can see who's most under par but knowing that there's so many half par holes coming in you don't really know who's some king win this legit. If he stepped up and birdied eighteen he got in at ten Adam. Scott looked like he was wavering. There for a little bit But he ended up surviving. I just like Augusta. I think. That's a great comparison in that. Not only can guys you know. Go Low all of a sudden inclined back into it but there's you know there's some car crashes out there can't get away with any exactly so just that volatility to develop Is it just creates a lot of excitement and captures your attention watching rory get flustered today and just like not be able to find it was. I mean it's jarring I mean the guy's been total control was golf ball for Shelton Neil of course ACCUA For I don't know ten months. At least maybe more than that and just to see him have absolutely nothing. Today was just it. Was it hearken back to win? Almost when Randy was calling for him to be dead before he had officially died. But yeah that's what reveal. Do demand if you don't have it. You're Gone Russell. Henley you'RE GONNA bud. Sorry you're out of

Alfonso Ribeiro twists our brains on golf
"All right folks are joined by a very special guest. Alfonso Ribeiro Big Time Golf Guy so you just walked into Barcelo. Hq I Kind of impressions walking into Barstool checking on her office. All new. I mean the last time to Barstool it was like a it was literally did not look like this. How about we go there? We just going to be pleasant. It was It was an office been was like just not really new new. Feels like a little bit of a facade like this nice and like state of the art and it's not really us just put snow it it did you listen. Everybody needs to go to work and feel like they're going to a nice place. Okay you know what I mean you can talk about whatever you want. It's gotta you'll nice going to work today. What he's saying is the last place was a dump and couldn't believe that he was brought there and that that he likes plays a lot more? I'M GONNA go with the last part of that. Okay because speaking to work got a couple of things going on a couple of things on funniest video absolutely how you know so like the greatest Family show in American television history. Right like its thirtieth season iconic for the Shell my fifth season as the host. And like what's better than watching people do really dumb stuff stuff hurt themselves but what Asta laugh at them by sending us the video so you get the approval of them to laugh at them and and we get to laugh over and over and over again. And I get to go to work and I actually one of the things that I'll do is so I typically have to do the voice overs for all the videos at that net. Need my voice over. Okay okay but I won't watch any of the ones that I don't have to do voice over on so that when I'm actually at the taping and I enjoy them for the first time you're right at the tapings aping and I'm like this way. It's like it feels less like work right. You go to go and it was like wow didn't see that one and can laugh and have a great time so I actually enjoy the taping and as much as the audience gets to do you ever slip up like Oh shit. It's just a good at that because kids so I've learned how not to allow that slip to come out. I always say I know my audience and when I'm when I'm there I'm pretty good at making sure that because we have some kids in the audience. I've become America's Dad. There have to be very responsible. It's amazing my gallstone hasn't made it onto that show yet. It just put it out with. Just keep sending US videos. We'll get it on you get one with a wedge in its everyone's laugh back actually on on Sunday eh the. At and T. I actually wanted to see whether someone got one of my swings on video. 'cause it absolutely would make it onto my show where where it was on. The fourteenth holds a par-five long par five and I'm trying to like possibly see whether I can get there in two so I'm really really digging into one and my right foot completely slips out onto downswing I'm talking airborne it's completely gone right and I still hit the ball but I was on one leg almost down on the ground and I actually hit the ball. So the two the pros and the group because my pro was Kevin Na right and the other the pro is j b Holmes and both of them were like in they were shell shocked because they were like okay. Are you all right. And I'm like and I'm walking gingerly because I'm like I don't know if I'm alright yet Then they go. How did you make contact right like? How did you literally literally you were falling down and you still hit the ball on an ethnic? I like that things eh but it really was. I said to everybody the gallery. WHO's watching anybody? Get that on tape tape. So you're good player. You're scratch. Is that right well. They had me as a three okay. So so you've played golf in some in some big circles right so you're Alphonso Ribeiro your but at the at and T. Pablo pro-am pro-am it's it's TV it's legitimate PJ toward crowds. What's kind of your nerve level on the first tee? You're on the seventeen. Maybe more conic shot. What's your nerve you know? There's probably only one shot at Pebble Beach that I am fearful of It's the second shot on eight right light. That is the only shot where you're like. Okay I don't have this. This is GonNa talk to me about it and we follow him about it and play the whole Goddamn golf course. You know it's a train wreck where we can't bring one hundred none of us for playing in a couple of weeks for the US Open. He's trying little fairy on a in Richmond right flying on a on the fly right behind the flag as for Mr Berry missed. The net. Green is great work. It was great because and I was on my way to triple digits so of course I'm walk through seven holes. Okay you knew where this round was. Nobody's lying along the best part of that is your only through seven holes right this aide whole and you haven't even gotten to the teeth of the golf course you know. That's the easy part of the grass. You get one two three four or five. You're like Ooh and you're doing like if I par in I can shoot ninety uh-huh and you're not going to say the only confident walk. I had all day was walking up to the Green on eight. I had my shoulders up is in my head was held high and I felt good but the rest of the day absolutely you know we had a twenty five mile. An hour rose wind no going from left to right right into the water. Yeah not good. So it's one of those shots where you're like. Okay where am I aiming. That's far let's into I can play it from the left rough. Can't play that from the Pacific. No right you know I was I was left. What's what's the dichotomy like with if the pros and you've got you know the guys played different? teases it awkward at all. No it's it's I'll say this like they're I'm sure there are groups and I've heard many stories the of playing in groups where because it's too amateurs into prose where guys really are not enjoying playing with those amateurs and there are guys on tour who alike I am not playing the. At and T.. I can't stand it like it's just playing with the amateurs but like this group that we had this year which was my self with with Kevin A- and then it was Michael Pena with a guy named Martin trainer. Right and Michael the opinion I are pretty much the same for even though he was getting seven shots. I was getting three but we when we play at home. We are about the same so when you play with guys. We're actually indecent golfers right. Then it's not bad because he's not like all right. Let's go look for his ball. Not that right. The flow of the game feels like it's just a normal for some going out to play and it's not so bad for them. Because I even sent cavanaugh a text message yesterday kind Hannah saying you know a dude. Thanks for an amazing week. We made the cut. We finished nineteenth right like out of one hundred and fifty six teams. That was awesome. He was in there grinding. Like trying to get the team to to to make the cut and you know it was just a really really enjoyable week and he was like dude. Thank you for being the way you were because you knew when to talk and make it light but you also knew when to leave me alone right. Let me have of my space when I needed it and I'm good at that like I'm the dude in the group who's like we're not talking to him some people don't that'll that I'm not going to be the one to tip it. Everyone feels they look at Jon Rahm by the way sitting at dinner. Just don't go near him. L. People for one degrees. That's his nickname like but you know but that's what I was doing you know. That's but that's what happens when it's guys who know how to play golf right who play golf and been in that circumstance stands. This is my fifth year the. At and T.. I've been up at the American Century Tournament now for maybe fourteen fifteen years I get it like I get how to play golf in front of people. It doesn't affect me right like you asking the question earlier like does it like. Does it affect you. Like going to that I T- I have no nerves. Did it affect you. I the first time I absolutely. Yeah but now it's like maybe maybe after like the fourth or fifth time playing in one of those like bigger tournaments after that I was like I. Nobody cares correct right like we all have this thing in our minds that like. I'm going to go embarrass myself. I'm like no not you know why because I'm so much better than the audience sitting there watching me play golf that they're impressed even if I hit a bad. That shot hit that bad shot right so I'd look at it like oh well they don't care whether I play well or not. I care whether I play well or not. Well well I know that if I'm in the moment and I'm actually all messed up about it but I'm not gonNA play. Well right I gotta get into the same space where I've had some of my best rounds and all of my best rounds of been when I'm like. Yeah whatever you gotTa Find Your Happy Place Right just like you're not caring right. The moment you care is the moment you get tents the moment your tents is the worst Gulf swing right. So I've certainly got myself to where I can just kind of be in the moment I want you know. Pick a target small targets right. No no no. Don't hit over there to the right. No pick a target hit the target. Don't worry about anything else. You're not gonna hit it there anyway. But at least you're gonNA you're GonNa make a good solid swing with the right effort by familiar with the exact opposite approach of that on the TV. You got a couple of groups backed doc. You know and you're standing in for wherever you think that they care a lot about how your shot goes right. You're standing the biggest fair way in the world and you're just like all right there's OB forty yards left. You can't it'll be and meanwhile correct just pick a small targets a giant fairway even a decent drive. You'll have a good approach. NOPE bodies a train wreck. You don't know how does golf club you're thinking. Oh Oh my God I saw. Nobody cares their phone there and watch it right. Well I I became friendly with Justin rose and he has a putting guru right who works with okay and this. This guy gave our whole little group when when we were all together Some information is called C.. Burn right and I was like okay. Okay well it's a putting thing where if you put a ball on the ground and if you move that ball quickly you're going to see what looks like a burn of a ball on the grass right and I was like what is that like why he goes. Your brain doesn't understand no or don't write. It only understands what it saying doing. So don't hit it left. Your brain heard hit it left right so there's no don't yeah it doesn't it doesn't recognize. Don't right it only recognizes do. Yeah so people say. Don't move your head you're moving your head right. What this guy is saying is his see the burn? If you see the burn you didn't move your head. It has to be an active positive. Thought not a negative thought because there's is no way that your brain understands the negative thought. Why do you always hit it in the water when you look at water if you have to hit the ball over the water like all right? Don't hit it into water. You're the water. Your brain doesn't understand. Don't you have to just don't even worry about the water. See the target and hated at your target. So it's a mental exercise absolutely but it but it becomes a physical thing because see the burn. You didn't move your. I can't tell you over

Miz and Mrs: Season 2 Episode 2 Review
"We're back with episode two of season two of MS and Mrs and my goodness is was an eventful episode last week. We were talking about how we didn't get to see the move to la well here we are in La Moving term this one is I will say less eventful then the last one but it was not without its challenges so we see them packing up the House House. Ms Has to essentially work while. They're moving so he being the good husband that he is gets Murray's professional packers and movers because she's very pregnant by this point so he's a good husband they load up the truck and they also flew to la all of them on a jet yet not a bus a jet so needless to say lessons learned lessons were learned on this one but they had a fun house I I they did but before they had to find a house they basically talk about how like. They swore they were never going to do this again. NOPE and here they are a year later doing it again and and we also learned that they're getting a new addition aside from the new baby in that misses mom and her very creepy collection are moving in with miseries when they go back to La. We'll talk about the cler. I mean that is kind of creamy. Yes it is a little creepy. I'M NOT GONNA lie but but we go shopping for rentals in La. They've decided to rent because they don't WanNa make the same mistake. They did before where they they buy in a bad neighbourhood so they wanna be able to shop figure out where they actually WanNa live this time because they have the other thing of schools now I have to think of schools which will get interesting to say the least So we also learned. Ms Cannot do math. Yeah it wasn't very good at math. He's not good at the math. So we go to Rental House One and has a lot of potential has a really nice yard yard. It's okay on the inside. Maurice really likes it. Mrs Just SORTA MIC. This is house hunters Mrs Edition by the Way Russia House to is all true. Oh sweet it's super modern. Very nice everything. They could want more except for the fact that it's way overpriced and to have pets vets In the house. It's it's extra money in it. Takes the rental price up to ten thousand dollars a month to read this house. Two thousand extra two thousand extra to rent this house and they were built like no. That was a big old. NOPE and then they go to the third house. And there's this lovely park down the street street and businesses absolutely in love with it because it's got a playground it's a place where Marocco go run around. Have a good time. They go in the House and it's really nice and it's actually very very much like their house in Austin Very similar in look and feel and so they fall in love with it and they decide that rental marm is is going to be number three so then we go to ms at work in Kansas City where he meets with talent relations at WHO's Adele relations. John Cone what. He's a senior in your manager. In talent relations like wait. What I had to rewind his go back and watch it again because I was like no no that Tim say yeah that Ted Senior relations of senior manager of talent relations? Who knew who do? We just thought he was was the donor guy and the referee. Apparently he's he's got a day job guys who knew who knew that now that would explain why his kid got the wintertime. There there you go very go. The mystery the Final Vale has fallen guys. So they're looking at MRS schedule because he's basically asking for time off to help. Maurice moved to be a good husband. And he's like okay. Well you know junk like well. You should've Smith snickers commercial so we can't cancel that MS like no. No I want to do do that. And then Congo's well you got this thing at Pebble Beach. We could get rid of that. And Mrs like what Yeah. You're playing at Pebble Beach. No no we're not getting rid of that L.. Do it. She can move on her own. legit which is what he was like. He didn't say it like going through has like yeah. It's Pell B.J. Once what's a lifetime because not everyone can go play beach with him getting the opportunity to play Pebble beach on live television for the US Open. He's like I'll bet in company guy he'll he'll make that that sacrifice but he's not going to tell his wife the to make that sacrifice. Oh He's filming US knickers commercial so we see the the last of the house getting packed up. They take one more selfie in front of the House and the Mrs off to film his his snickers commercial we see him sneak his golf clubs in the garage than he acts like. He's leaving ways from Arista. Go back inside. He gets out of his car runs into the garage. Grabs the golf clubs throws them in the car and then they leave the fact that he didn't get caught on that because they have cameras everywhere. Where is hysterical So then we we land in la where it's Maurice Farben Marjo. Oh Monroe the baby and the menagerie of pets. Yeah so we go to the house. They're walking walking around the house where I was like. Oh it's so nice and misses mom breaks out one of her dolls and shows it to Monroe and Monroe is like very scared of the dull shoes. Carring poor little thing. She was terrified of the doll. It's like all Imerese is like I like our. We'll talk about it later. He's like no no we will. You're not getting that thing near my kid. NOPE NOPE so we've been Marie taking monroe out. I stroll I think going down to the park. And they bump literally into another parent. WHO's walking her son up the hill And they start talking about the area and schools and everything comes comes up. There's a preschool waiting list. Because we're they are is a very exclusive area some of the best schools in the country. And you have to fight to get your kid into into preschool. Never mind the regular schools. Reese didn't realize this and the waiting lists in. Some cases are for years long. That is not an exaggeration that is legit Gitte which I knew about shit like that. So the fact that she didn't and I did is terrifying. So Reese freaks out. She calls Ms and he's like. Don't don't don't rush into anything. Don't do anything. They have a bad connection they get disconnected. And she's like all right. Well I'm going to start calling around schools. I'm doing my research and see what I have have to do to get monroe into a preschool and these preschools. They're not you not your average preschool. They teach your children diction and and thought and Mandarin and all kinds of interesting things that I didn't realize preschools compete. But here we go like like diction I'll say this. They try to teach kids in preschool Spanish. Now I'm like I think teaching them another language at an early age is definitely beneficial. Because it's easier when you're younger I think versus when you're harder when you're older at least I know they're trying to teach my nephew like how to count in Spanish. So that's great. That's Awesome I. I wish I wish they did that for us. Because I'm no one. I had to take languages in school. I was offloaded. New Eh. Wasn't the best. Yeah it was not always do numbers and some works with beyond that was like I don't I don't remember honestly but I just know if they had taught taught us like French or Spanish in school. That would awesome like preschool. I've been awesome. But anyway we cut to Maurice Calling all the schools and they let her know most of the schools are like you're too late. The witless is too long. One lady hangs up on her and she's like okay all right so I'm gonNA or do what I have to do to get monroe into a school so she engages a Mandarin instructor to come to the House to teach monroe how to speak speak Mandarin Chinese. The child is one But she still learn to word through the and they're very excited about it over verbs Meritas like she speaks English. She speaks French and now she's going to speak Mandarin and she's one she's a shoo in. So there's that and then there's MS who has arrived at Pebble Beach. She's checking with every his his group which are all the Fox sports hosts talking all about it and then and then ms ms he was so in the home. Free right like he was so in. Clear Maurice's Nice distracted with schools. She's not going to be paying attention. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut. which apparently the fans cannot do to save their souls soup and what does he do? He calls his father and he tells his father that he's going to be playing at Pebble beach on Fox sports sports on live television and he tells his dad all the details. But there's one detail he said don't tell Murray's so we cut back to Los James Louis Moreau Joe has her frog legs. EMORY's is like no. You're not putting those nasty things in my fridge. And then she gets a phone call. It's George and he asked Marie what channel MS is GonNa be on because he's at Pebble beach and he can't find it on TV. EMORY says like no. He's filming stickers commercial. George like no he's going to be on live. TV playing at Pebble Beach. And she's like what and so she starts flipping through the channels right to find him and of course she finds him and there is a pebble beach playing golf. And Mario's like I don't see any snickers I love March. Oh I missed Marjo so much. The submarine being the good wife that she is ready to unload on him. You know he's on the seventh hole. She calls him. He hangs up on her and she sees him him hang up on her Marcio. Marcio has the best line ever. which is he's dead and he doesn't even know it yet? Yeah you're like. He sowed it 'cause when he hung up on her. Okay you're

Oh abalone fishermen Jank Lincoln's and Mike Escrow from the California Ocean Protection Council to get a firsthand look the impact that warmer waters lessee the stars and a massive increase in Purple Sia jains a having on everything from Kelp to abalone. I meet up with Mike Escrow. Who's is the marine ecosystems program manager the Ocean Protection Council Luckily for me. Mike's also a dive Mazda a former C. ground fellow and and hold a master's degree from cal State Monterey Bay in Marine protected areas might where are right now. We're here at Pebble beach on the North Coast and Sonoma's county and we're going to go out and try to see some abalone but probably gonNA see a lot of very much kelp unfortunately okay so in front of us. We have this yellow bag and it's got a lot of equipment that quite remember what I'm GonNa do is so well we got right. Here is as we have your scuba tanks so all your errors in here we got your. CD that stands for buoyancy compensation device and so that's going to help you adjust buoyancy underwater as you get a little deeper grier. GonNa add some areas. You get a little shallower. You're gonNA that Samaria out. We got regulator here which we're going to hook up to the tank so that you can breathe underwater. That's important all your rubber. All your neoprene so so that's GonNa keep you nice and toasty in that water which is probably about between fifty and fifty five degrees right now so you'll be glad you have that wetsuit in that best and it sounds like you know what you're doing which which has got because I'm glad I'm here. I hope I know what I'm doing. I've been now instructor for a few years now. So what do we do next should be putting your B. C. D. on your tank so I'm going to show you how you do that. This big strap goes around. How much do we have in this tank so this is this is a steel eighty so so you got eighty cubic feet of air in here dependent on your air consumption. That's probably anywhere between thirty five fifty five minutes air but we'll be checking in judge others air supply as we go through the coal now go ahead and turn it on you can hear it pressure as and we'll test it so most important thing second-stage's. That's purge valves. If you ever get any water you can just press that right. They'RE GONNA go ahead and take a breath. Make sure it's working compressed Air Nice. This is your alternate second-stage right here so that that's just the backup so take breath. This make sure it's working right. I love that first breath of pressure as their morning warning. This is an important piece right here. Here's your console all the data. This is all the data exactly this and piece of data right there. This is how much air you have in your tank and then he got a compass sounds. Jack's going to be doing most of our navigation today but if you want I want you can play around with the compass a little bit and help you navigate under water. We're not going down deep enough or stand down long enough to worry about kind of decompression but it's going to have so that's it. I feel good all right. I feel like I know what I'm doing now. So do we get changed now. I think it's GONNA be easiest to get changed now. Okay so we got booties. They probably go on last well. Maybe the hat goes on last-second. Say here's your suit so this is about seven or eight millimeter state is gonNA keep yeah yeah okay so go ahead and get that on once. You're all suited up. I'm going to do the same okay regret pefect before I go ensued up. I asked Jiang Lincoln's and local resident who's led the campaign to bring attention to abalone collapse and who will be leading today's dive to explain the device is now calibrating okay so I work with reef check which is a volunteer data collecting organization in California and I collect abalone Loni data for them. I measure the sizes of Abalone what I'm showing you. Here are some special calipers designed by Josh Russo who is also also a reef check diver specifically for measuring Abalone so that you can do it quickly underwater and it uses a plastic paper deeper and punches so you punch the paper on this zero location then as you measure abalone you punch and then when you're finished you can take the little piece of plastic paper out and measure all the size of the abalone is very fast very efficient and we can get up to one hundred fifty punches and one tank of air which is about half of what you need and a site to build evaluated super low tech yeah the little holes there yeah so from the histogram of size you can determine the size at maturity and you can determine the spawning potential ratio which is very important important in an abalone fishery okay so now for the moment truth. I have to actually get to freezing border. Okay this moment. I'm actually pretty nervous. I remember the last time I went scuba diving looking at the world fifty feet above my head and realizing that there was actually no way that I could make it out without at and unlike like the Caribbean and the border here murky and freezing okay now. I'm working with from the beach into the ocean. Okay I just was attempting to go down to the ocean floor but it's taking me a while to sort out the the right buoyancy level for this suit and God luckily I had gloves on because we were literally crawling along the ocean floor with our hands and the Purple Patch as far as I can see which admittedly was only about five feet but they I mean they were everywhere we stay down for about twenty minutes being moved around by very strong tidal surges and a lot of the time I talked just completely claustrophobic and directionless took a lot of effort to keep president and not give into fear it also took a while for my Easter just to the pressure which at first was just the pain was so intense and just crazy to painful bear then like magic. It disappeared getting out of the water. I'm filled with just so many emotions excitement to be exiting a very foreign weld Tara at the C. Hitch an infestation gratitude for Mike keeping me safe and the complete Adrenalin high just from being on this adventure then unfortunately we just starting to cough up some blood which I find out later was normal but at the time was just shocking okay mic that that was more of adventure than house quite intense coming in the water. Thank you for being such a good guide lead. Yeah you got it man. Absolutely as a challenging day we had limited visibility at say probably no more than five feet at any given time so pretty green down there and a lot of a lot of water movement so we were. We were blown back and forth pretty pretty good but with us fun it was. I just thought I was I mean I know I am cramp but like I just suddenly be floating floating back and I'm like Mike so when you see where we came out of the warden and you're like there's a lot of said made me feel a teeny bit. That's definitely the surgeon. I've experienced but I'm not a north coast either. I'm a I'm a Monterey diver so it gets it gets way more narrowly up here. So I mean to me is far as the I could see that were purple see the actions I mean it was he couldn't see that but as far as you could see they were everywhere yeah. There were a lot of them down. There and I think the craziest thing for me was just seeing how how how much they'd grazed. I mean they'd you know urgency grazers. They eat plants. They eat algae and they'd grazed everything down to bare rock. So's is pretty much urgency. As far as the I could see I mean I've never heard of them. Described as grazes yeah that's a technical term yeah but they're there and so the sea stars used to eat them mm-hmm and then they will wiped out. Yes exactly so so what happened is the sea stars are one of the major urging predators specially a couple of big species so sunflower stars which are picnic. Odia and giant giant spine stars which are species of highs astor. Those guys got hit really hard by sea star. Wasting disease started in twenty thirteen thirteen twenty fourteen really wipe those guys out and so without those natural predators to keep him in check. The purple urging just exploded so quickly though I mean like the timeframe Yo Tokiwa Matt is just kind of like often I think about climate changes slowly moving in like this has happened quick. Yeah I mean this is this is pretty much instantaneous. Ania on a on an ecological scale which is really

Follow live: Final round underway; Tiger on course
"Of fact, here to give us a read on the torn amend his point. And specifically going deciding round is the best golf analyst, I know you've been watching the golf channel in the mornings to get ready for the day, even catching remote thing down there. And he joins us now on the golf channel and his syndicated show life. Matt Adams AMA. I'm doing well. How you doing? Good. Appreciate you coming on before we get into the specifics year round number four, I need your take on how the US G A prepped plan prepared Pebble Beach this week today. Get it right to get it wrong deduction train hedge. Their bet what your read on what the course, has been put I three days at US open my readers. They got it right. Which was the first option that you gave me, but it also came from hedging bats because hard is heavily beaches Pebble Beach is only so much that you can do to eight c side. Of course, it's hard to screw it up the way you can, of course, say inland. So the US did a good job of not over engineering, not overdoing the golf course. But the easiest course it set out for US open his. Probably Pebble Beach. So it's kind of a combination of things they did do graduated raw that, we're a couple of fairways players were complaining early in the week, and they and they graduated and a little bit more. So they're being reactive to being sensitive back that they've had stumbles over the past few years. This year twenty nineteen everybody seems to be saying, I happen to agree that set up this US open a okay. Not everybody says that because yours truly disgrace, and I'll give degree. I tell you wouldn't number US open is this. Hundred nineteen hundred nineteen. All right. Mr. golf expert, how many times in the hundred nineteen years of the US, open have, we had a player shoot double digits under par. Well, the last has happened multiple times we've had multiple rows, and it ended in sixteen par including one Tiger Woods, including Bros, CAPCO. So it it's happening what you're referring to not to take away from your answer. But what you're referring to the fact that the US open as compared to the other three major championships. If you took the other three, right? EGA the masters, the open, vastly different setups, vastly different golf courses over the last fifteen years. Those three majors believe they're not gonna blow you way with this stat. They all come in between ten and eleven hundred par for all the variances. They all come in between. Let's stroke apart over the course of fifteen years. The US open is the one glaring difference coming in just over three hundred par now for the national championship. United states. I have no problem whatsoever. If it is the most difficult stern test of Gaul you can possibly have where the problem lies is when a golf courses over engineer, you are no longer identifying the best all around the golf course you're identifying the golf and that's not in most stricken by approval twist of fake where they would take collars rough like they did it. Okay. Fine. And put him in places that the architect never designed to be because they're trying to protect the score against standard of eve. Even par which went out of the best players in the world years ago. So that, that's where I'm probably from his sane right now at the end of this week, you're going to know who is best player was this week in prior US open when it was over engineered you never really one hundred percent. Sure. Okay. I will again, go back to the number that I quoted only nine times in the hundred nineteen year history of those nine seven came two years ago in two thousand seventeen where seven guys went under par kept go on at sixteen. Decky shot twelve Brian Harman shot twelve Pleat was eleven chop was ten Haas was ten fallow with ten only two other times, Rory mcilroy at congressional shot, minus sixteen tiger at Pebble Beach, minus twelve now nineteen years ago that, that did the yet, one year you had seven out of nine and in the other hundred eighteen times you had two guys go under ten. I think they're getting pre today. I think you're gonna see three guys who double digits under par by the end of the day, that tells me on sorry the court too easy. No, no, no. What it's telling you is that for last twenty years, there set up. Have been wrong. The US will admit this at shit o'clock. Last year we let it go too

And hopefully, we can drop it off and trade it in for courtesy card that we can stay LA and then fly from LA to San Juan Puerto Rico. We'll see God. That's amazing. All right. If we're gonna we're gonna predict the event that you have your first PGA tour win at what what would you? What would you guess the event is going to be what's golf course that you're like, okay? That one's for me. I don't know. I honestly haven't seen. I gotta tell you where I would love to win of her son bail. Okay, grew up here in Orlando. I didn't play hill.

San Francisco Chronicle Sports - Spoken Edition
Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson shows what money can buy and what it cant
"You're listening to the spoken edition of the San Francisco Chronicle. Tiger Woods versus Phil Mickelson shows. What money can buy and what it can't one enduring lesson nearly fourteen years covering Gulf, the chronicle not much compares to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson playing alongside each other. Especially in contention on Sundays their spirited simultaneous charges. Electrified Augusta National in the final round of the two thousand nine masters, even if they both alternately faltered, they're pairing three years later at Pebble Beach where Mickelson uncommonly crushed woods in the final round created similar buzz friendly reminder about Friday's much-hyped pay per view match. This is not the same. Not even close woods and Mickelson will play head to head for nine million dollars winner-take-all, and that alone will prompt a good number of people to forego over nineteen ninety nine they will see a contrived exhibition not memorable competition on a grant stage. This is November in Las Vegas. Not April and Augusta. It just doesn't matter. Sports captivates us. Because the games are meaningful authentic. Well, maybe not in baseball steroid era and unpredictable, but everything about Friday's made for television event seems forced scripted and even a bit slimy. Take several cringe worthy moments during Tuesday's promotional news conference woods and Mickelson who for years had zero use free other tossed out flowery compliments as if they were lifelong best buddies near the end of the session Mickelson said without laughing. It will be a major championship intensity on Friday, then to complete this theater of the absurd. Woods and Mickelson complied with a request for a stoic face to face staredown like two heavyweight boxers. Please Friday's matches about money naturally. A vehicle for people who are crazy rich to become even richer, the two best golfers of their generation are trying to squeeze out more revenue before they fade from public view. Mickelson is forty eight and woods turns forty three next month. They each one a PD tour event this year for the first time since two thousand thirteen making. For compelling stories, especially with woods, given his fall from grace and repeated back surgeries, but it was telling when Justin Thomas the world's fourth-ranked player said there was zero percent chance. He would watch this tiger Phil tussle Rory macelroy echo Thomas last week into by look if they had done it fifteen years ago, it would have been great macelroy told reporters. But nowadays, it's missed the Mark a little bit, fair point woods and Mickelson squaring off in two thousand five six or seven with tiger dominating the PGA tour and Phil finally winning an occasional major might have resonated more. Plus, they really disliked each other back, then that's one fascinating confounding element of this whole thing that unlikely of Lucien of the tiger Phil relationship, the tension traces to their junior golf days in southern California. When Mickelson reportedly looked down on the young, prodigy and woods grew resentful. Sports Illustrated's Alan ship once told of woods in his amateur days. Watching the masters on television as one of Michael's? Typically, aggressive putz scooted farther and farther past the whole would simply said role. They're infamous writer Cup pairing in two thousand four widen the divide but woods clearly softened in recent years. Maybe he really was humbled by his personal travails. And by the injuries that limited him to one official tour start between August two thousand fifteen and January two thousand eighteen Mickelson accelerated the thought and their relationship by sending encouraging text messages while woods recovered from his back surgeries woods responded by doing the same. As Mickelson chased victory at the Mexico championship in March now curiously there, essentially business partners making promotional spots appearing together at news conferences, leaving open the possibility of more matches. If this one proves successful. They're throwing lots of gimmicks at the wall and hoping some stick woods Mickelson and their caddies. We'll we're microphones during Friday's which could reveal lively insightful banter or more scripted stage nonsense. The telecast will carry a strong gambling flavor. Fitting for a Vegas show at glitzy. Shadow creek, golf course odds will be displayed to gosh, the potential success of impending shots and woods and Mickelson are making high stakes side bets with the money going to charity, including two hundred thousand dollars on whether Mickelson birdies the first hole. It's quite the elaborate production pushing golf into a strange new frontier, and it will test the limits of tiger and fills mass-appeal Ron critic is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer, Email Arkwright, check at chronicle dot com.

The Dan Patrick Show
All the important questions as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson go head to head in The Match
"He had a dinner with Tony Romo. And that was Tigers. Pro-am partnered Pebble Beach back in two thousand twelve and he went to dinner with Tony Romo just to bother. Tiger woods. So Phil said that you know, Tigers partner was Tony Romo and that night before the final round Saturday was big dinner. The Jim Nance put on I got seated next to Tony. We had a great night had a lot of fun. But I knew it would bother tiger that I had dinner with his partner. Tony knew this would also bother him. So he said, it was caddy do not mention that we had dinner last. Knight. Phil don't bring up the dinner. We're on the I t I IT off tiger tees off. I wait before I walk off because I want to distance myself between me and Tony. So I could say it loud enough. So as we're walking off the first TI yell out. Hey, Tony, Tony that was so much fun. Last night. I loved the dinner that was the greatest and tiger looks at him and said, you know, giving that look like that was a big deal Mickelson called her a moment that he laughs with tiger about now. But at the time, it was pretty intense. Mickelson ended up winning. But isn't that what we're all hoping for this weekend at the matches that one of them goes a little real in jab like UFA, like when I want a guy puts one in the weeds and just has a little Ouch. Just enough to. Okay, now, it's real, and it's a real competition because that's what ever wants. I hope we have some of that. Because tiger never let you in. It's rare when he let you in. But if he does then I'd love to hear the sense of humor, see the sense of humor or just to see a subtle dig their or the gamesmanship that goes on in what you would think they would be really wanting to say like if you had thought bubbles this time. You don't have thought bubbles. You just actually had their thoughts. That's what would be great Friday after thanksgiving.
