00:00As tough of a pill as it might be to swallow, if we let these guys come back and we create
00:09some structure for them to come back, we could gut the live tour because all those guys have
00:14made all their money and so they can go fill up their bank accounts and feel like I don't
00:18need to do the security thing anymore.
00:20Now I want to play real competitive golf again at the best venues in the world with the against
00:24the best players in the world.
00:26And I come back on this tour and, you know, and now I have no penalties.
00:30So there's, it's not like there's any barriers coming back off to go play the corn fairy
00:33tour or whatever.
00:34I think that would be the, the most, the smartest strategic business move from the PGA tour
00:39instead of saying, if you guys want to come back, there are penalties involved, you know,
00:43because then, then you're just, you're, you're hurting yourself.
00:46You're hurting your ability to, to hurt your competitor, you know, I want to be a part
00:49of the list making of like who gets like, who's the last guy that doesn't get like the
00:55full exemptions into, let's say the players or whatever the, the mark or just say the
01:01signature events, um, like does, does the tour make Taylor go qualify and go, that would
01:10be, that would be amazing.
01:13I mean, even with the, like you named the 10 guys on the, on the top of their points
01:19and excuse me, career money, it's like, dude, like pretty much all of that top 10, maybe
01:25give or take another couple of guys.
01:26It's like, those are your dudes.
01:28Bring them back.
01:29Let them play.
01:30Let's, let's get those guys back on the, uh, signature events and then like funnel in kind
01:34of whoever you want throughout the, uh, the, the lower tour, which is what I hope would
01:40happen.
01:41Yeah.
01:42And, and honestly, as you say that, like, that's exactly, if you took the money list
01:46right now, so DJ Gooch cam Brandon grace, like you, you knew there were going to be
01:52certain names in there that are like, Oh, that's a, that's a weird one.
01:55Or like that, the most marketable one, but they played well and they deserve it.
01:57So like Brandon grace probably is one of those Brooks Kepka, Peter Uline, probably one of
02:01those Bryson, Patrick Reed, Joaquin Neiman, Sergio Garcia.
02:05There's your top 10.
02:06Right.
02:07And then you probably go through and you cherry pick a few names who just showed up.
02:10So they haven't had time to earn, but obviously, obviously you're letting John Rahm come back.
02:14Yeah.
02:15You know, um, I'm sure, I mean, Phil would actually be a really interesting case, you
02:19know, given all of these done to burn bridges.
02:22But you know, Tyrell Hatton probably gets to come back in some form or fashion.
02:25Um, you know, maybe there are pathways created for young stars that you want to kind of do
02:31right by like Caleb Surat or guys like that.
02:33But I think that, you know, that's, that's, I mean, I just gave you, I mean, let's exclude
02:38Caleb Surat.
02:39I just gave you 12 names and you're really not missing too many from that list.
02:44You're definitely making some cuts, but like, you're not missing too many, man.
02:48It's just like so crazy.
02:49So let's say the PGA tour says we're going to go another year without you guys coming
02:53back and what's going to happen.
02:56There's going to be so much pressure.
02:58And I think the live strategy from that standpoint is okay.
03:02They've stopped working hand in hand with the official world golf ranking to try to
03:05get their tour sanctioned to be able to get points.
03:09We read about it this week as well.
03:11So like, what are the only things they can do?
03:13It's like, okay, well we can just buy more players.
03:16That's the one thing that they can do is they can buy more players.
03:20And then the other part of it too, is that I think unless the PGA tour changes to a structure
03:27in which there's less events and their, their weeder boards make sense, they can wait on
03:32just the, just wait out the ratings because the ratings have been the one thing that the
03:38live golf tour can look at and be like, all right, you need us.
