00:00There's really not many things more unique than what the players are going to have this
00:04week, which is the annual trip, the waste management at TPC Scottsdale, which of course
00:09has now become, I guess you could say the rowdiest stop on the PGA Tour, the craziness
00:16at 16 if anyone gets a hole in one, the people running through the gates at five o'clock
00:22in the morning.
00:23This is also a very unique stop that we have this week.
00:26It sure is.
00:27It's the People's Open.
00:29It's been deemed, I guess you could call it now.
00:31And yes, Mike, last year actually I was a part of the running of the bulls from when
00:36they run out from underneath the tunnel all the way to 16.
00:39I woke up super early.
00:40I wanted to experience it.
00:41We were able to do that last year with NBC when we had the coverage.
00:44This year CBS is on the call.
00:47I'm going to be there with Golf Channel Thursday, Friday, and on the early part of the coverage
00:51Saturday, Sunday.
00:52So looking forward to getting out there to Phoenix.
00:54It's such a unique event.
00:57It's maybe not quite as much fun to play at times because it can get a little rowdy.
01:01It's so different than what we're accustomed to as players week in and week out.
01:04But for me, inside the ropes with a mic, I kind of like the people watching.
01:10It's a pretty good time for me.
01:12You know, you guys should always have the waste management because that's the type of
01:15course where happy hour should be every year.
01:18When you do the happy hour on Fridays, that is the perfect place to have happy hour.
01:22So that's upsetting.
01:23I know you guys go back and forth with that for the waste management each year.
01:27So who do you like this week?
01:29We do have Scotty there, which is coming off.
01:31He played pretty well.
01:32I'd say.
01:33I know he didn't win, but coming off of not playing all year, Scheffler was excellent.
01:37You've got JT there this week.
01:39A pretty good field at the waste management.
01:40Who are you going after?
01:42Well, I think Scotty Scheffler.
01:44It's his to lose.
01:45He plays so well at this golf course.
01:47You know, you can look at just about any metric and Scotty Scheffler in his history at this
01:52golf course.
01:53If he's not leading, he's going to be very close to the top.
01:56That's just how well he that's how well he plays it.
01:59And it's always a thrilling finish to in Phoenix.
02:01It's either a playoff that you pretty much have just about every year, or when it comes
02:06down to 18, it's going to be a player that wins by one stroke.
02:10Very rarely do you get a runaway finish, which is, I think, the very cool part about Phoenix
02:14as it leads into the Super Bowl.
02:17One and done.
02:18Give me one.
02:19Come on.
02:20Is it Scotty?
02:21Can't use him this year.
02:22I don't think I am.
02:24Justin Thomas really plays well at this golf course.
02:28But I think I'm going to go find something at the, you know, that that nobody's really
02:31talking about.
02:32I think any any person that has some form coming into here, I think, means something.
02:38And Andrew Novak just keeps screaming in my ear.
02:40He's played well the last two weeks, and I think he's gonna be a sleeper coming into
02:44this into this one.
