1
00:00:07,048 --> 00:00:09,926
All right. Good on sound?
Speeding on both.
2
00:00:09,926 --> 00:00:11,594
Okay, you got slate.
3
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:13,013
{\an8}Good to go.
4
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,974
Tape one-four-three,
interview take one.
5
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:17,017
Soft sticks.
6
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:19,144
Clap it.
7
00:00:19,644 --> 00:00:21,688
Sound speeds.
Rory McIlroy interview.
8
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:23,314
Full Swing Season 2.
9
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:24,274
Let's do it.
10
00:00:32,031 --> 00:00:35,535
Just a year ago,
you were LIV Golf, or you were not.
11
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:38,455
Tiger!
I did not envision this happening.
12
00:00:38,455 --> 00:00:41,249
{\an8}It's astronomical money
that they're throwing at people,
13
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:43,626
{\an8}and everything's got a price, I guess.
14
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:45,086
{\an8}I don't really care.
15
00:00:45,086 --> 00:00:47,964
Going with LIV,
I'm happy with the decisions I've made.
16
00:00:48,465 --> 00:00:51,050
I was very jealous
of everything that Jordan did.
17
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,804
Someone's gotta be
the 70th-best golfer in the world.
18
00:00:54,804 --> 00:00:55,805
{\an8}Might as well be me.
19
00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:59,642
I feel like I'm trying to win
my first major championship again.
20
00:01:00,226 --> 00:01:03,271
If the 2022 season
was about disruption,
21
00:01:03,271 --> 00:01:07,192
then the 2023 season
is about figuring out what's next.
22
00:01:10,111 --> 00:01:13,073
Going through
this struggle for the last few years
23
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:14,407
is not easy.
24
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:15,992
It's a grind out there.
25
00:01:15,992 --> 00:01:17,994
You can't be serious!
26
00:01:17,994 --> 00:01:19,954
If I don't play good golf,
I can't provide.
27
00:01:19,954 --> 00:01:22,499
We don't have a house.
We don't have anything.
28
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:26,836
With everything
that happened and all the craziness,
29
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,713
that's gonna wear anybody down.
30
00:01:28,713 --> 00:01:30,006
Damn it, Joel.
31
00:01:31,841 --> 00:01:34,636
At this point,
you're on the PGA TOUR side,
32
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,304
or you're on the LIV Golf side.
33
00:01:36,304 --> 00:01:38,848
And you've got
the majors now that stand alone
34
00:01:38,848 --> 00:01:41,226
as these four events per year
where these guys meet.
35
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:44,562
It's gonna be interesting
to see how these guys come back together.
36
00:01:44,562 --> 00:01:45,814
What's up, bud? You good?
37
00:01:45,814 --> 00:01:49,317
I wanna have faith
that this is the best thing for all of us,
38
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:52,445
but it's clear
that that's not, uh, the consensus.
39
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:54,906
Not only do we have
LIV players teeing it up
40
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:57,283
in all four major championships,
41
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:59,202
but it's also a Ryder Cup year.
42
00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:03,581
The Ryder Cup is one of the most
special sporting events in the world.
43
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:05,667
It's the fucking best.
44
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:07,127
Eyes on the prize.
45
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:11,214
12 Americans and 12 Europeans
play against each other every two years.
46
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:13,424
{\an8}Everybody wants to be
on that Ryder Cup team.
47
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:15,343
I wanna make the Ryder Cup
more than anything.
48
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:18,221
I'm thinking about the Ryder Cup
every second of every day.
49
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:21,683
We're really playing for something
that's bigger than ourselves.
50
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:25,562
It's gonna be hard. There will be
difficult situations, and drama can ensue.
51
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:29,107
And Rory is hot.
52
00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:31,276
I'm looking around like,
"What just happened?"
53
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:34,112
As if that wasn't wild enough.
54
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:36,823
Some serious breaking news.
55
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:39,826
The PGA TOUR merging
with LIV Golf.
56
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:40,785
Shocking.
57
00:02:40,785 --> 00:02:43,538
One of the biggest stories
in the history of the sport.
58
00:02:43,538 --> 00:02:46,249
So many unanswered questions.
It's like, "What?"
59
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:49,544
- Has this happened in any sport's history?
- No one knows anything.
60
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:53,298
There has been a lot of controversy
and a lot of uncertainty.
61
00:02:53,298 --> 00:02:54,299
I get all that.
62
00:02:54,299 --> 00:02:57,385
It's hard for me to not feel
somewhat like a sacrificial lamb.
63
00:02:57,385 --> 00:02:59,846
This live stream's ending
right now, boys.
64
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:03,600
Yeah, it's been quite the year
in the world of professional golf.
65
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:31,085
Dude, the funniest part is
I'm sure he's taking a deuce.
66
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:34,380
{\an8}He'd be out by now if he was peeing.
67
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:36,132
True.
68
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:43,139
{\an8}Yeah, don't worry.
I wasn't taking a dump or anything.
69
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:44,891
I hope you feel like shit.
70
00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:46,893
No pun intended.
71
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,394
Hey, I didn't do 'em all.
72
00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:50,480
Jordan kind of screwed
that one up.
73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,981
Yeah. Sorry, Rick.

{\an8}One girl ate it so bad in these heels.
84
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:18,216
{\an8}She was so embarrassed,
she didn't wanna fix it.
85
00:04:21,511 --> 00:04:25,139
{\an8}All this is is me putting sun...
uh, sun cream on.
86
00:04:25,139 --> 00:04:27,016
This was the same last season too.
87
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:29,769
Take your shirt off, Joel!
88
00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:31,104
Fuck.
89
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:32,188
{\an8}We're professionals.
90
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:36,442
{\an8}My parents always told me
to think before you act.
91
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:37,443
Ah, whatever.
92
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:39,529
Can you sign my bag too?
93
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:41,906
{\an8}Yes, I will.
Where do you want it? Do you care?
94
00:04:41,906 --> 00:04:43,449
Over here.
- Right here?
95
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:55,294
At the start of 2023,
things are much clearer.
96
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:57,922
Last year, there was so much uncertainty.
97
00:04:57,922 --> 00:04:59,716
Now it's sort of you understand
98
00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:02,260
{\an8}who's on which side of the battle lines.
99
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:05,263
{\an8}You've got the LIV guys,
and you've got the PGA TOUR guys.
100
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:09,058
They've kind of chosen their team.
Yeah, now it's product versus product.
101
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:14,439
The PGA TOUR loyalists,
I guess you'd put it,
102
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,775
guys who aren't
so driven as much by money.
103
00:05:18,568 --> 00:05:19,694
Justin Thomas.
104
00:05:20,862 --> 00:05:21,821
Jordan Spieth.
105
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:23,406
Matt Fitzpatrick.
106
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:26,826
Rickie Fowler is another one
who stayed on the PGA TOUR.
107
00:05:27,827 --> 00:05:30,246
But Rory McIlroy is kind of
the most salient one.
108
00:05:30,955 --> 00:05:32,832
He is the face of the PGA TOUR.
109
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,044
Rory, technically,
you are world number one.
110
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:39,380
I'm just curious. Do you feel like you're
the best player in the world right now?
111
00:05:39,881 --> 00:05:40,715
Yes.
112
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:42,550
Why is that?
113
00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:44,218
Um...
114
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:46,721
Because I do.
115
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:50,183
Golf, with what happened
with LIV last year,
116
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,185
and sort of with what's happening...
117
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:53,978
I have a pretty strong conviction
118
00:05:53,978 --> 00:05:56,773
of what I think professional golf
should be, what it should look like,
119
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:59,942
how competitive it should be,
and I want to stand up for that.
120
00:06:01,569 --> 00:06:03,905
Rory, what he's done
throughout his career,
121
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:05,073
he's earned that presence
122
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,492
{\an8}that everyone trusted to... to be the face,
123
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:09,786
{\an8}essentially, to make sure
things were going right.
124
00:06:11,287 --> 00:06:13,498
People are gonna realize
how much work he put into this,
125
00:06:13,498 --> 00:06:16,000
because it's not easy
to just come home and say,
126
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,045
"Hey, I'm going to open up my computer
and hop on 50 Zoom calls."
127
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,964
I'm tired just traveling
three weeks in a row.
128
00:06:21,964 --> 00:06:24,217
I wanna come home
and just sleep on my bed.
129
00:06:27,136 --> 00:06:31,474
Rory has been so vocal
against the LIV tour.
130
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:34,685
{\an8}He is taking front and center stage
131
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:38,189
{\an8}as the ultimate superhero leading
the rest of the pack of superheroes
132
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:39,440
against the LIV tour.
133
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:45,029
If he wins the major championship,
134
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:47,323
he can just sit back
and cackle at everybody.
135
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,076
It's the ultimate icing
on the cake.
136
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:54,539
People like to choose one side or another.
137
00:06:57,208 --> 00:06:59,919
If you have your finger
on the pulse of golf...
138
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:06,801
...it's pretty apparent that one side has
quite a lot more support than the other.
139
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:24,152
On the other hand,
LIV is launching its first full season,
140
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:29,073
{\an8}but it hasn't really shown
that it has staying power.
141
00:07:29,657 --> 00:07:32,535
I mean, so far,
there's a lot of questions right now.
142
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:41,669
The guys on LIV got
hundreds of millions of dollars
143
00:07:41,669 --> 00:07:44,714
to leave the PGA TOUR,
and some huge names did leave.
144
00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:48,593
Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson,
Brooks Koepka, all gone.
145
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:51,929
And major champions
like Bryson DeChambeau,
146
00:07:51,929 --> 00:07:54,474
Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith,
they joined them.
147
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:57,977
These guys are unbelievable golfers,
don't get me wrong,
148
00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:01,397
but there is a consensus in the golf world
that they just took the money,
149
00:08:01,397 --> 00:08:03,608
and now they're not working
nearly as hard.
150
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:05,902
At least in the public eye,
151
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:08,863
the PGA TOUR is still seen
as the gold standard of golf.
152
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,908
Brooks Koepka!
153
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,868
He holds his nerve.
154
00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:18,706
That was the stereotype
of the golfers going to LIV,
155
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:21,250
is like, "Maybe they're washed-up,
maybe they're done."
156
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,044
{\an8}You know, "They're phoning it in."
157
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:26,839
{\an8}"Let's just go and play easy golf.
Three days, no cuts."
158
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:29,550
But Brooks is back.
Let's see... let's see what happens.
159
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:33,512
And he will head
to Augusta in fine fettle.
160
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:37,600
Hey, congrats, man.
161
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,561
Great shit, dude. That's awesome.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
162
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,523
When these guys meet
at the Masters in a few days,
163
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:46,984
there is an expectation
that the PGA TOUR guys will dominate,
164
00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:50,613
proving that, from a golf perspective,
they are the superior tour.
165
00:08:56,994 --> 00:08:59,789
Okay, you got your belt on.
It's not going to beep.
166
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:01,290
Is it gonna beep?
No.
167
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:02,750
No, it's not. We're good.
168
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:08,047
For me, it's like I know
that clock is ticking.
169
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:10,841
I was able to knock off
four major championships
170
00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:12,593
pretty quickly in my career,
171
00:09:12,593 --> 00:09:15,179
um, but I've been stuck on four
for a while.
172
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:18,724
I don't deserve...
No one deserves anything in this game.
173
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:21,185
Like, nothing is handed to you.
It's all earned.
174
00:09:21,185 --> 00:09:23,354
And I feel ready to earn it again.
175
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:27,567
I'm happy to be here.
176
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,194
{\an8}- Thanks for doing it here.
- Thanks for being here. This is awesome.
177
00:09:30,194 --> 00:09:31,904
{\an8}Yeah, it's cool. Really cool.
178
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:33,322
Really cool spot here.
179
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:35,658
Let me know when you want me to go.
Go ahead.
180
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:37,368
So, it's ten minutes each spot.
181
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:40,621
Here, Fortune, and then...
and then Sean Martin with PGATOUR.COM.
182
00:09:40,621 --> 00:09:41,998
- He's just... Yeah.
- Cool.
183
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:46,335
I think this new role
that I've sort of been thrust into,
184
00:09:46,335 --> 00:09:49,672
this sort of, you know, spokesman,
or leader, or whatever it is,
185
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:51,757
it's certainly not something
that I asked for.
186
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:54,427
I didn't go to Jay Monahan
or anyone at the tour
187
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:56,554
and say, "Hey, let me... let me lead."
188
00:09:57,305 --> 00:10:00,975
I maybe put myself in this position
without really knowing it.
189
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:04,228
If you're not looking for ways
to improve and you're standing still,
190
00:10:04,228 --> 00:10:07,356
I just don't think that's the right way
to approach things, so I think...
191
00:10:07,356 --> 00:10:10,943
Rory, for whatever reason,
was willing to take on the burden
192
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,903
of being the face of the PGA TOUR.
193
00:10:14,238 --> 00:10:16,365
Rory's a very marketable guy.
194
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:20,703
You know, probably the biggest star
to emerge in golf since Tiger Woods.
195
00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:24,040
The exact type of guy Jay Monahan
wants to smile and take pictures next to.
196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,833
Three, two, one.
197
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:26,792
Thank you.
198
00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:30,755
So, you're encouraging your...
your... your people to take...
199
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:35,718
I would say
I'm probably closer with Jay
200
00:10:35,718 --> 00:10:37,845
than any of the other players on tour.
201
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,556
That would be my relationship with Jay.
202
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,642
When did this open?
203
00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:47,188
This opened, uh, May last year. May '22.
204
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:51,192
It was Jay and myself that were doing
a lot of the critiques of LIV.
205
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:55,196
I wanted to take a moment
to address all of the news,
206
00:10:55,696 --> 00:11:00,368
{\an8}discourse, and conjecture lately
about the world of professional golf.
207
00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:02,870
The PGA TOUR is moving on.
208
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:04,955
The top players
in the world are saying no,
209
00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:06,791
so that has to tell you something.
210
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:09,585
Our members compete
for the opportunity
211
00:11:09,585 --> 00:11:11,587
to add their names to history books
212
00:11:11,587 --> 00:11:16,175
without having to wrestle
with any sort of moral ambiguity.
213
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:19,220
I've always been an advocate
of trying to make it more cohesive,
214
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:21,680
and this is, you know, ripping that apart.
215
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:27,561
We are, and we always will be,
focused on legacy, not leverage.
216
00:11:27,561 --> 00:11:28,813
We're in the right spot.
217
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:30,272
- How are you?
- Good to see you.
218
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:32,358
- Everything good?
- I work with Sean with TMRW Sports.
219
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:33,693
I didn't see it.
220
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,903
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
221
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:42,201
With leadership
comes some sacrifice,
222
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,579
and my day has been filled up with stuff.
223
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:50,418
Phone calls or emails or updates.
224
00:11:53,337 --> 00:11:56,215
I feel like I've had a ton
of balls in the air this year,
225
00:11:56,215 --> 00:12:00,261
juggling and demanding of my time,
and it's a matter of trying to balance it,
226
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:03,889
not trying to lose sight
of the fact of what's really important,
227
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:06,642
which is trying to stay
the best player in the world.
228
00:12:06,642 --> 00:12:07,643
All right, see ya.
229
00:12:07,643 --> 00:12:12,022
It sounds really simple when you say that,
but, uh, easier said than done.
230
00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:24,910
It is wonderful
to greet you once again
231
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:27,037
from the Augusta National Golf Club.
232
00:12:27,037 --> 00:12:30,624
It is always
the most anticipated round of the year.
233
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:35,504
The wait since July at St Andrews
for major championship golf has ended.
234
00:12:35,504 --> 00:12:38,841
The pursuit of the green jacket
is here at Augusta, Georgia.
235
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:43,471
Of course,
part of the backdrop,
236
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:46,390
{\an8}the LIV Golf tour playing
in the Masters this weekend.
237
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:48,350
Joining us now is Brooks Koepka.
238
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:49,894
Where would you say your game is at
239
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:52,313
and what you need
to work on prior to the first round?
240
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:56,108
Uh, game feels really good right now.
Um, being healthy is a big thing.
241
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:58,944
A healthy Brooks Koepka
is a great report for us to have.
242
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,362
Thanks for that.
Thanks.
243
00:13:01,113 --> 00:13:03,991
You're healthy. It's been
a long time since we could say that.
244
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:06,827
It has been a long, long time.
I just finally feel good.
245
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:07,786
It's incredible.
246
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:11,707
Like, even just bending down,
getting down to read putts normal again.
247
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:13,125
You're back.
- Yeah.
248
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:15,169
Yeah, good to see you.
Thanks, Brooks.
249
00:13:15,169 --> 00:13:17,338
Yep. Thanks. Yep. You got it.
250
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:22,134
The Masters doesn't really need
heightening to begin with.
251
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:24,720
It's the biggest event on the schedule.
252
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,431
And this year,
the stakes just seem even higher.
253
00:13:28,516 --> 00:13:29,391
Phil, Phil!
254
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:34,855
It's the first time
that we've seen guys from the PGA TOUR
255
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:38,734
and guys who went to LIV
playing in the same tournament.
256
00:13:38,734 --> 00:13:41,612
This is LIV versus the PGA TOUR,
257
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:43,656
and everyone is curious
258
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,158
how the respective sides
are going to fare.
259
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:50,162
A lot of the lead-up
to this tournament about LIV Golf.
260
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:51,872
Hard to know the kind of form
261
00:13:51,872 --> 00:13:54,959
players who were playing
on that tour are in as they come here.
262
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:57,002
Are they competitively sharp?
263
00:13:57,002 --> 00:14:00,923
Have they played enough competition
to compete here on this stage?
264
00:14:01,882 --> 00:14:05,594
How different does it feel
being here as a LIV player
265
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:07,221
playing on a different tour?
266
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:10,307
For sure, I'd love to, you know,
see one of us guys get up
267
00:14:10,307 --> 00:14:12,810
to the top of the leaderboard
and really give it a nice shot.
268
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:17,398
You know, we play and it's still golf,
so it doesn't matter where you play at.
269
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:20,693
Yeah, I haven't really talked
to any of 'em.
270
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:22,570
{\an8}Not too worried about what they're doing,
271
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,530
and just trying to take care of myself.
272
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:27,575
How you doing? Good to see you.
273
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:30,661
It's a week like this
where there's 18 LIV guys
274
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:31,996
and a bunch of PGA TOUR guys,
275
00:14:31,996 --> 00:14:35,165
all of you guys are intermingling,
and it seems like everything is okay.
276
00:14:35,165 --> 00:14:37,626
Has it sort of changed
the dynamic between you guys?
277
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:41,714
It's a very nuanced situation,
and there's different dynamics,
278
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:44,341
and, you know, this week,
in this tournament,
279
00:14:44,341 --> 00:14:46,844
all the best players in the world
are together again.
280
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,139
I think I'm going to go play nine holes
with Brooks here in a little bit.
281
00:14:52,349 --> 00:14:54,977
Thanks, Rory. Appreciate your time.
Thank you.
282
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:01,901
When Rory drops that he is playing
a practice round with Brooks Koepka,
283
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:04,069
everyone's like, "What's going on?"
284
00:15:06,655 --> 00:15:10,492
The sight of the two of them playing
a practice round at Augusta National,
285
00:15:10,492 --> 00:15:12,286
the biggest week of the golfing year,
286
00:15:12,286 --> 00:15:16,206
when Rory has been
the figurehead for the PGA TOUR
287
00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:22,588
and Brooks Koepka is, you know,
the greatest modern major champion on LIV...
288
00:15:26,383 --> 00:15:29,511
There's a lot bubbling
just below the surface there.
289
00:15:36,101 --> 00:15:40,064
They're portrayed as the villains,
and we're portrayed as the good guys,
290
00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:41,231
the guys that stayed.
291
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,610
There's certainly a...
There's certainly something there.
292
00:15:49,406 --> 00:15:52,701
Everybody kept saying at Augusta
the worst thing that can happen
293
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:55,496
{\an8}to professional golf
is if a LIV player wins a major.
294
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:58,040
I was keeping receipts. I was.
295
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,751
Let's go, Rory. Go get 'em.
296
00:16:01,877 --> 00:16:03,003
Go, Rory.
297
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:06,548
So you've got LIV tour
leading voice Brooks Koepka,
298
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:09,134
PGA TOUR leading voice Rory McIlroy,
299
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,805
and now you've got this "us versus them"
300
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:14,515
back at the Masters.
301
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:19,353
What's the saying? "Keep your friends
close and your enemies closer."
302
00:16:31,907 --> 00:16:33,534
Think this works?
Pink and blue?
303
00:16:33,534 --> 00:16:36,245
Oh man. Money.
- All right? You're not just being nice?
304
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:38,580
Cash money.
- All right. Appreciate you.
305
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,833
{\an8}Have a good day. See ya.
You too.
306
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,919
Well, we got nothing here, TK.
Let's, uh...
307
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:45,629
- See you after.
- Gotta smell good, Tommy.
308
00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:46,922
Gotta smell good, yeah.
309
00:16:46,922 --> 00:16:49,049
Smell good, play good.
That's it.
310
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,263
{\an8}After everything that's happened,
the PGA TOUR would love
311
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:58,475
{\an8}for one of their own to be the player
that steps into the winner's circle.
312
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:01,687
Now driving, Rory McIlroy.
313
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:02,980
It's very palpable.
314
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:04,982
It's very real for Rory McIlroy,
315
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:08,986
considering where he has placed himself
in the hierarchy of golf.
316
00:17:13,073 --> 00:17:15,451
Good afternoon
on this Friday
317
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:17,369
from the Augusta National Golf Club,
318
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:20,414
second round
of the 87th Masters Tournament.
319
00:17:22,791 --> 00:17:25,085
The headlines
have been established already
320
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:27,254
by Brooks Koepka, who's setting the pace.
321
00:17:28,088 --> 00:17:30,424
We have not seen him play
in over a year.
322
00:17:30,424 --> 00:17:34,470
What a story this would be.
What a start for Koepka.
323
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:38,348
McIlroy, one
of the big stories always coming in here.
324
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:40,350
Needs to get something going.
325
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,398
See what Rory can do here.
326
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:54,698
Goodness.
327
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,744
Bad start yesterday.
He was quickly over par. Same today.
328
00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:01,830
He's gonna have
to play some great golf
329
00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:03,707
{\an8}if he wants to make it
to the weekend, Ian.
330
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:06,627
McIlroy for par.
331
00:18:11,048 --> 00:18:13,801
You can see
the frustration showing.
332
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:16,178
{\an8}That's been the week for Rory.
333
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:20,724
{\an8}It is going to be very, very hard
for him to make the cut now.
334
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,019
And Brooks Koepka
has this putt for birdie.
335
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:28,232
That's the look
we're used to seeing
336
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:29,650
{\an8}from Brooks Koepka at the majors.
337
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:30,943
Mm-hmm.
338
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:33,737
Said it's a long time
since he's felt this good.
339
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:36,573
The majors,
there's like a different air
340
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:38,242
about the room when he's in it.
341
00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:39,952
Like, he's so focused.
342
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,955
No one remembers how many PGA TOUR wins
you have on your record.
343
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:45,207
What they count
is how many major wins you have.
344
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:50,754
It's a grind.
Major week's always... always tough.
345
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:52,589
To be here is special.
346
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:56,093
If you win one here, it kind of ticks
a lot of boxes, doesn't it?
347
00:18:58,011 --> 00:18:59,888
This for eagle.
348
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:04,101
Ten-under
for the tournament.
349
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:05,310
{\an8}All business.
350
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:06,311
Brooks.
351
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:11,525
Rory McIlroy will need
to play near flawlessly
352
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,861
coming down the stretch to make the cut.
353
00:19:18,031 --> 00:19:20,909
That's in the water
on the left-hand side. Hmm.
354
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:25,038
The struggles
and frustrations of Rory McIlroy.
355
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:29,877
And one
of the pre-tournament favorites,
356
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:32,588
so highly discussed,
is not going to make the cut.
357
00:19:33,630 --> 00:19:36,508
It was the best opportunity
for me to win a major
358
00:19:37,092 --> 00:19:39,261
that I'd had in a long, long time,
359
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:41,680
but sometimes it just
doesn't quite work out.
360
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,641
I was so far from where I thought
I should have been.
361
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:46,560
Rory!
Rory!
362
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,105
For Rory to not win
the Masters is one thing.
363
00:19:51,148 --> 00:19:55,027
But to miss the cut
is just a massive, devastating failure.
364
00:19:56,278 --> 00:20:00,532
And then to have Brooks Koepka,
a LIV guy, on the top of the leaderboard
365
00:20:01,074 --> 00:20:03,410
just has to make it
that much harder to handle.
366
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:10,334
Final round of the Masters,
two of the biggest brutes in the game
367
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,669
from two different tours
going head-to-head.
368
00:20:13,462 --> 00:20:17,674
Going into Masters Sunday,
it's almost this unbelievable storyline.
369
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:23,805
It's one thing for LIV
to be lurking in the background,
370
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:27,017
but if one of their players
were to win the Masters,
371
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:30,771
that would change
the entire dynamic of professional golf.
372
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:34,900
Pars to start.
373
00:20:36,777 --> 00:20:39,529
Brooks and I are tied
on four majors apiece,
374
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:43,033
so you don't really want
someone to go by you.
375
00:20:44,451 --> 00:20:47,996
If it wasn't me
that was going to win the Masters,
376
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:51,208
yeah, I'd probably prefer it
to be a PGA TOUR player, honestly.
377
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:55,170
And Phil, his chance
to be the first birdie here at 12.
378
00:20:58,131 --> 00:21:01,969
Phil Mickelson making
a charge here on this Sunday.
379
00:21:06,473 --> 00:21:09,893
The narrative on if you went to LIV was
you just went for the money,
380
00:21:09,893 --> 00:21:12,813
and you were going to be a fringe golfer.
381
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:17,317
And at six, Brooks Koepka.
382
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:23,573
Just struggled, really.
383
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:27,744
Everybody said that all
of the LIV guys would be insignificant
384
00:21:27,744 --> 00:21:31,540
and nonfactors in the majors
because there was no competition on LIV.
385
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,961
Koepka four behind.
386
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:39,298
Rahm can almost feel
the jacket on his shoulders.
387
00:21:40,382 --> 00:21:44,386
But the narrative that had been
being pushed became a false narrative.
388
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:49,099
And he posts eight-under.
389
00:21:50,058 --> 00:21:52,060
You couldn't then just pretend
390
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:56,690
{\an8}that they weren't going to be relevant
in professional golf anymore.
391
00:21:58,233 --> 00:22:00,652
{\an8}The people that were anti-LIV,
392
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:03,155
{\an8}they had to look themselves
in the mirror and go,
393
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:05,824
"Okay, now what?"
394
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:12,289
Brooks Koepka
will share second with Phil Mickelson.
395
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:23,675
Rahm wins
the Masters marathon.
396
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,558
I was relieved
that Brooks didn't go
397
00:22:31,558 --> 00:22:33,935
to five major titles
and I was still stuck at four,
398
00:22:33,935 --> 00:22:38,148
but at the same time,
it would be dealing with the LIV bots
399
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:39,941
and the media and all that stuff
400
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:42,611
is what would have been
absolutely horrific.
401
00:22:44,237 --> 00:22:47,199
Brooks, I know
you probably don't like the LIV questions,
402
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:50,118
but, I mean, what do you guys think
you proved this week?
403
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:53,580
I know if I'm healthy,
I know I can compete.
404
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:58,085
I don't think any of the guys that play
this event thought otherwise either.
405
00:22:58,085 --> 00:23:01,046
Um, when Phil plays good,
they know he's going to compete.
406
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:02,714
P. Reed, same thing.
407
00:23:02,714 --> 00:23:05,550
Um, I think
that's just manufactured by the media
408
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:08,136
that we can't compete anymore,
we were washed-up.
409
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:11,181
Was there competition
with the guys from the other tour?
410
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:13,934
I'm happy where I'm at.
I wanted something different.
411
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:15,727
That's what this is doing for me at LIV.
412
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:17,979
It's not for everybody,
but it's been awesome for me.
413
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:24,111
The LIV guys showed at Augusta
that they're not going anywhere.
414
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:28,323
You just had three of the top six
in the biggest tournament in the world
415
00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:29,282
are LIV guys.
416
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:32,828
It's hard to argue
that they're not still incredible players
417
00:23:32,828 --> 00:23:35,539
who are capable of performing
at a world-class level.
418
00:23:35,539 --> 00:23:37,958
It's no different just because they went
to a different tour.
419
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:43,046
Just gonna drop it on your bag.
Yup.
420
00:23:43,046 --> 00:23:46,550
Make a little opening.
Always wanted to be on Netflix.
421
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:49,177
It's not all it's cracked up to be.
Rory!
422
00:23:49,177 --> 00:23:50,804
I'm joking, I'm joking.
423
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:54,141
Rory. How dare you, Rory?
I can't believe you said that.
424
00:23:56,643 --> 00:24:00,021
Take it back and redo it.
- You don't need to put that in it.
425
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:01,439
It's fine.
426
00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:03,525
Perfect. Good to go.
There you go.
427
00:24:03,525 --> 00:24:05,610
Y'all ready?
Okay. I gotta ask.
428
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:07,070
Okay, the Masters this year.
429
00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:09,948
{\an8}There was a guy who I swear
430
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:13,910
{\an8}looked 99% like you.
431
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:15,412
Eighty.
This was...?
432
00:24:15,412 --> 00:24:16,621
This was on Thursday.
433
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:18,748
He was desperate
for your attention for sure.
434
00:24:18,748 --> 00:24:21,209
If it was on the weekend,
it actually could've been me.
435
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:25,964
No. It was not.
436
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:27,924
It was not.
437
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:31,511
I felt like I went
into that Masters playing really well.
438
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:36,016
Felt almost as confident as ever
going into that tournament,
439
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:37,601
and just laid an egg.
440
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,520
I played like dog shit that week.
441
00:24:41,104 --> 00:24:43,857
What's up, GolfPass?
You got Dude Perfect, Rory McIlroy.
442
00:24:43,857 --> 00:24:46,067
We've got a fun little challenge
set up today.
443
00:24:47,527 --> 00:24:49,779
I had to ask myself
a lot of questions.
444
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:52,199
Playing golf and having
all the other stuff
445
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:54,493
that I'm involved with,
it's a full-time job.
446
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:57,245
It's sort of all-consuming at the minute.
447
00:24:57,746 --> 00:25:00,916
You get fatigued of it. You get fatigued
of answering the same questions.
448
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:02,667
And it's... it's so difficult.
449
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:04,169
How do you feel after that?
450
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:05,754
Gotta be tiring.
- Pretty tiring.
451
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:06,671
- Is it?
- Yeah.
452
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:08,173
Nice little 12-pack?
453
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:12,010
I think it's so rare
that PGA TOUR players take on
454
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:15,847
the type of responsibility
that we've seen Rory McIlroy take on.
455
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:19,559
Smile. Big smile.
How about no smile for one? Good.
456
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,895
How can he be so invested
457
00:25:21,895 --> 00:25:24,481
into what's going on
between LIV and the PGA TOUR
458
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:30,612
and still go out there and beat
the other 150 best players in the world?
459
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:33,114
That's just not
a sustainable place to live
460
00:25:33,114 --> 00:25:36,868
with an already full plate
and then that added responsibility
461
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:39,412
of really putting
the PGA TOUR on your back.
462
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:45,043
So, the podcast selection.
Shotgun Start, Huberman Lab.
463
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:48,421
You got Disney's Encanto,
which is Poppy's favorite.
464
00:25:48,421 --> 00:25:50,757
And then you've got DJ Khaled mix.
465
00:25:51,258 --> 00:25:52,217
Yeah, there you go.
466
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:56,304
There's a little look into what
I listen to every day in the car.
467
00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:00,100
With everything that's went on
468
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,727
in the golf world
over the past 12 or 18 months,
469
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:04,396
there's been times where,
470
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:07,440
I guess, my attention
or my focus has been taken away
471
00:26:08,191 --> 00:26:09,985
from, uh...
472
00:26:11,027 --> 00:26:14,698
from what... I really need to focus on.
473
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:20,870
Last few weeks on the golf course
hasn't been what I have wanted,
474
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:24,082
but getting ready for the second
major championship of the year
475
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:25,166
coming up at Oak Hills.
476
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:29,379
All eyes have been on me
for a long time anyway. It's not new.
477
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:32,340
I'd much rather be in this scenario
478
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:37,012
than no one give a shit
about what I'm doing, so, yeah...
479
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:45,770
{\an8}We have yet another amazing guest
here on BS.
480
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:49,816
{\an8}A legend, Brooks Koepka,
in the building, ladies and gentlemen.
481
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:52,569
One of the best golfers of our generation.
482
00:26:53,862 --> 00:26:56,948
Can you... can you tell us, like,
how big the LIV contract was?
483
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:58,825
It was good. It was good.
484
00:26:58,825 --> 00:27:01,328
Like, nine...
eight figures, nine figures?
485
00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:02,871
It was nine.
486
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:04,080
Yeah.
487
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:07,250
For those who don't, uh, can't count,
488
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:09,586
that's, like, 100 million or more.
489
00:27:09,586 --> 00:27:14,007
Yep. Yep. It was, uh, it was pretty good.
I was very happy with it. Put it that way.
490
00:27:14,007 --> 00:27:15,175
No, that's amazing.
491
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:18,803
Does that create contentment now for you,
or does it make you wanna work harder?
492
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:22,390
If I got a fucking nine-figure contract,
I wouldn't... I'd just fuck off.
493
00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:25,894
To me, it's all majors. I think
that's what you're defined by, right?
494
00:27:25,894 --> 00:27:27,812
I wanna try to get to double digits.
495
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:30,815
I think I can get 10, 12.
Um, I think that's realistic.
496
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:33,234
That's what keeps me going,
and that's the fun.
497
00:27:38,573 --> 00:27:40,492
Do you have any, like, tips or...?
498
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,744
Just hit it as hard as you can.
All right.
499
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:48,875
Who said he was gonna do that?
500
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:50,543
The tee! The tee!
501
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,884
Honestly, I've never seen that.
That was very impressive.
502
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:01,054
That was one of the coolest shit
I've ever seen on a golf course.
503
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:02,680
That's what I meant to do.
504
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,557
I just took out the tee, right?
505
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,559
Three-seventy!
506
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:10,939
You get a sense that the momentum
has shifted a little bit.
507
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:14,275
The LIV guys are walking around
with a little bit more swagger.
508
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:16,361
Putt!
509
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:19,114
Yes! Yes!
Go!
510
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,576
Let's go!
511
00:28:23,576 --> 00:28:25,453
Just won a major.
Wow.
512
00:28:25,453 --> 00:28:26,913
Get the fuck outta my face.
513
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,042
Before the Masters,
people weren't sure
514
00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:32,502
how the LIV golfers would perform.
515
00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:35,922
But the Masters made everyone realize
516
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:40,718
that it's not a matter of if a LIV guy
at some point wins a major.
517
00:28:40,718 --> 00:28:42,178
It's a matter of when.
518
00:28:42,178 --> 00:28:44,264
Cash in now, fellas! Cash in now!
519
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:46,015
- Right.
- Let's turn it in.
520
00:28:46,015 --> 00:28:47,016
Pay up.
521
00:29:07,745 --> 00:29:09,873
It'd give me a heart attack
just to park in this thing.
522
00:29:09,873 --> 00:29:10,874
What's up, Collin?
523
00:29:11,624 --> 00:29:13,543
I can't run over Phil Mickelson.
524
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:15,336
That'd be a bad start to the week.
525
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:20,216
The PGA Championship,
that's the second major of the year.
526
00:29:20,216 --> 00:29:22,969
A lot of questions
have been answered at the Masters.
527
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:25,221
DJ! DJ!
528
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:27,974
The LIV golfers have undoubtedly proved
529
00:29:27,974 --> 00:29:30,477
that they can compete at the major level.
530
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:35,023
That sends a huge message
to the rest of the golfing world.
531
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:40,236
We think that Brooks is gonna be riding
the crest of his wave.
532
00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:42,947
But how's Rory McIlroy going
to be feeling?
533
00:29:44,574 --> 00:29:46,326
He's got points to prove.
534
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:49,245
He has questions that need to be answered.
535
00:29:50,371 --> 00:29:53,041
How long does it take
to get over the hangover
536
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:54,709
of something like Augusta?
537
00:29:54,709 --> 00:29:56,753
Where's your... where's your game at now?
538
00:29:57,253 --> 00:30:00,673
Look, golf is golf, and it happens,
and you're gonna have bad days.
539
00:30:00,673 --> 00:30:05,386
And, you know, I still believe that I'm
one of the best players in the world,
540
00:30:05,386 --> 00:30:10,225
and, you know, I can produce good golf to...
to have a chance of... of winning this week.
541
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:12,936
We're coming up on
the anniversary
542
00:30:12,936 --> 00:30:14,479
of the first LIV Golf tournament.
543
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:17,899
If you could look into your crystal ball,
maybe, say, three years from now,
544
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:19,776
where do you think the pro game will be?
545
00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:21,277
I don't have a crystal ball.
546
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,112
Don't wanna speculate?
547
00:30:23,112 --> 00:30:24,322
No.
548
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,449
Thanks for your time today.
We appreciate it.
549
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:33,331
Right now, it feels like the world
has flipped on its head for Rory.
550
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:37,836
Golf is hard enough as it is, and when
you add all of this off-the-course stuff,
551
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:40,421
the game can become almost impossible.
552
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:42,549
We all thought
this was gonna be Rory's year,
553
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:46,302
but you can't be a golfer
and a politician at the same time.
554
00:30:46,803 --> 00:30:47,804
Rory!
555
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:57,021
Next one. Pull back.
556
00:30:58,815 --> 00:30:59,816
{\an8}Then that one, pull back.
557
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:01,860
{\an8}Towards you.
558
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:09,993
- So weird we're playing together.
- I know.
559
00:31:09,993 --> 00:31:14,247
I... I mean, it's like an annual thing.
PGA champions playing together?
560
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,999
I know.
That's so bizarre.
561
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:25,049
After Augusta, I was pretty pissed
at the coverage that got.
562
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:27,760
Hi, Brooks.
How's it going?
563
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,638
Jilien Harvey from the PGA.
Welcome. Thanks for coming.
564
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:31,806
I'll walk you down.
565
00:31:33,474 --> 00:31:35,393
Does it legitimize LIV?
566
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:37,061
Probably.
567
00:31:38,479 --> 00:31:43,067
But it still doesn't change the fact
that it is what it is.
568
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:46,446
Justin and Rory,
both of you slide this way a little bit.
569
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:47,363
One, two...
570
00:31:47,363 --> 00:31:51,409
I don't think
it gave LIV the spike that they thought
571
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:52,869
that it was gonna give it.
572
00:31:52,869 --> 00:31:55,955
Justin, this way
just a little bit. Great.
573
00:31:55,955 --> 00:31:59,626
The relationship
between TOUR guys and LIV guys is weird.
574
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:01,669
That's gotten
a little chippier and chippier.
575
00:32:01,669 --> 00:32:04,631
There's plenty of guys on that tour
that I didn't talk to before
576
00:32:04,631 --> 00:32:06,883
and I still have no desire to talk to,
577
00:32:06,883 --> 00:32:08,635
{\an8}but it's not because of that decision.
578
00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:10,345
{\an8}It just may help with it a little bit.
579
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:12,555
Last one. One, two, three.
580
00:32:12,555 --> 00:32:14,307
{\an8}Perfect. Thank you all very much.
581
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:27,362
Welcome, everybody. So, I don't know
if you know a lot about the history,
582
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:30,031
but there have been
71 champions of this event,
583
00:32:30,865 --> 00:32:33,826
which you should all be proud
to be part of.
584
00:32:33,826 --> 00:32:35,912
We've got a great
defending champion, Justin.
585
00:32:41,501 --> 00:32:43,586
Thank you, John. Uh, yeah, I'm...
586
00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:47,382
I'm very excited, obviously,
to be... be hosting this.
587
00:32:47,382 --> 00:32:52,095
Um, it's just a very cool night. I know
all of us can reminisce and share stories,
588
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:54,931
and I personally wanted
to have a cheers to Mito Pereira,
589
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,891
because this would not happen
without him, so...
590
00:32:58,601 --> 00:33:01,854
Thank you all again. This is unbelievable
to be hosting tonight.
591
00:33:01,854 --> 00:33:03,731
And, uh, let's have a great time.
592
00:33:03,731 --> 00:33:04,816
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
593
00:33:07,276 --> 00:33:10,196
Thank you guys
for a great dinner, JT. Thanks.
594
00:33:10,196 --> 00:33:13,366
It's been fun to sit around
with a bunch of you guys, reflect,
595
00:33:13,366 --> 00:33:16,661
and have some cool stories
and see everybody and, um...
596
00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:18,413
Let's everybody have a good week.
597
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,915
- Yeah.
- Hear! Hear!
598
00:33:26,045 --> 00:33:29,132
Good morning
from Western New York.
599
00:33:29,132 --> 00:33:32,552
The 105th playing of the PGA Championship.
600
00:33:33,886 --> 00:33:35,346
I'm a professional athlete.
601
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:39,767
{\an8}He... There's not one professional athlete
in that body right there.
602
00:33:40,643 --> 00:33:41,811
Let me see something.
603
00:33:42,645 --> 00:33:44,522
All right. You're right.
604
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:46,566
See? Look what I can do.
605
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:49,485
Rory!
Come on, Rory!
606
00:33:49,485 --> 00:33:53,406
Rory McIlroy most recently
in a major championship missed the cut.
607
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,621
The nice thing about golf
608
00:34:00,621 --> 00:34:04,042
is there's always the next week
or the next tournament or the next major,
609
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:08,171
and I've always sort of prided myself
on how I've bounced back
610
00:34:08,171 --> 00:34:11,758
from... from some of those, you know,
bad rounds or bad tournaments.
611
00:34:13,301 --> 00:34:15,178
The name
of the hole is "Breather."
612
00:34:15,845 --> 00:34:17,764
Don't tell that to Rory.
Hmm.
613
00:34:18,347 --> 00:34:19,849
Wow!
614
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:22,602
Oh my gosh.
Now he can take a breath.
615
00:34:23,603 --> 00:34:26,022
Who knows, maybe that'll get him started.
616
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:32,195
Sit!
617
00:34:32,195 --> 00:34:35,031
Best of the day by a lot.
By far.
618
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,076
What a round for DeChambeau.
619
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:41,162
Solo leader.
620
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:44,832
DJ from long range.
621
00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:48,419
I'd say
the pace was pretty good.
622
00:34:50,171 --> 00:34:55,009
Dustin Johnson joins
DeChambeau at the top of the leaderboard.
623
00:34:57,220 --> 00:35:01,224
Second round underway
on this beautiful Friday in Rochester.
624
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:05,144
And McIlroy...
Could sure use something.
625
00:35:10,316 --> 00:35:13,361
That's something!
626
00:35:13,361 --> 00:35:15,947
Brooks Koepka
from just off the edge.
627
00:35:18,032 --> 00:35:20,409
Don't think
this man is going anywhere.
628
00:35:21,536 --> 00:35:24,080
Brooks Koepka. How about it?
629
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,333
For birdie.
630
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:28,334
Koepka!
631
00:35:30,878 --> 00:35:32,713
Climbing up that leaderboard.
632
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:37,677
Morning.
633
00:35:39,053 --> 00:35:40,429
Chilly.
634
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:45,852
He's just too good.
Six top fives for Xander.
635
00:35:45,852 --> 00:35:47,728
Ready for a major challenge...
636
00:35:47,728 --> 00:35:51,357
You need a hat, Rory.
- I'm... That's what I'm getting out.
637
00:35:51,357 --> 00:35:53,359
I'm getting a hat.
638
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:55,319
- Your head must be freezing.
- Is my hair...
639
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:58,197
Is my fluffy hair
not enough to keep me warm?
640
00:35:58,197 --> 00:36:01,033
Your fluffy hair looks great,
I've gotta say.
641
00:36:02,785 --> 00:36:05,246
It is rainy.
It might get worse.
642
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:07,039
Buckle up.
643
00:36:07,748 --> 00:36:09,917
You know someone's going to play well.
644
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:13,629
Got a feeling
about Rory today doing something special.
645
00:36:13,629 --> 00:36:15,381
In the hole!
646
00:36:18,759 --> 00:36:20,386
That is a bad miss there.
647
00:36:27,768 --> 00:36:30,563
He teases you,
McIlroy, doesn't he? Great start.
648
00:36:30,563 --> 00:36:32,690
Could throw it all away back here, though.
649
00:36:34,358 --> 00:36:36,360
It was so hard to get momentum, yeah.
650
00:36:37,278 --> 00:36:40,198
It's hard to go out there and shoot... 66.
651
00:36:48,414 --> 00:36:50,082
He's a major machine.
652
00:36:50,583 --> 00:36:54,670
Sixty-six
for the second straight day.
653
00:36:55,504 --> 00:36:56,797
And Brooks Koepka
654
00:36:56,797 --> 00:36:59,425
will go into that last day with the lead.
655
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,803
I love what you said
after the Masters.
656
00:37:02,803 --> 00:37:06,223
You said, "I figured out the mistakes
I made, and I won't make 'em again."
657
00:37:06,223 --> 00:37:09,101
What were those mistakes,
and how can you apply that to tomorrow?
658
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:10,394
I can't give away my secrets.
659
00:37:10,394 --> 00:37:11,562
Just one?
- No.
660
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:14,607
We look forward to trying to figure it out
tomorrow as we watch you play.
661
00:37:14,607 --> 00:37:16,150
- Thank you so much.
- Thanks.
662
00:37:17,234 --> 00:37:18,861
Will you tell me off camera?
663
00:37:18,861 --> 00:37:19,779
I can't tell you.
664
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,950
Thanks, Brooks.
- Love you too, guys.
665
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:25,284
Yep.
666
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:27,328
Fun to watch.
Yep.
667
00:37:27,828 --> 00:37:29,080
Feel good?
Yeah.
668
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,581
Awesome.
Felt good.
669
00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:40,508
It is a beautiful
Sunday morning here in Western New York.
670
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:47,014
All right.
671
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:52,186
I hit a drive on nine today
that missed for my 700th fairway.
672
00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:54,605
Oh, there's a crack in your driver.
I was watching.
673
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:57,358
Right down the middle, like this.
674
00:38:05,032 --> 00:38:07,076
'Sup, Brooks?
Go, Brooksie!
675
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,163
Brooks, how much
would another major title mean to you
676
00:38:11,163 --> 00:38:12,707
at this point in your career?
677
00:38:13,207 --> 00:38:14,667
It would mean a lot.
678
00:38:14,667 --> 00:38:17,503
I think a major championship
would mean a lot to anybody, so...
679
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:21,590
if I handle my business out here,
everything will take care of itself.
680
00:38:22,925 --> 00:38:26,345
To win a major is always a big deal
no matter where you're playing.
681
00:38:36,939 --> 00:38:38,941
If the next phase
of Brooks's journey
682
00:38:38,941 --> 00:38:40,443
is winning another major
683
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:42,862
after catastrophic injuries,
684
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:46,782
after a large portion
of the golfing public writing him off
685
00:38:46,782 --> 00:38:47,825
for going to LIV,
686
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:53,080
to come back and basically say,
"Fuck you, I've now won my fifth,"
687
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,665
that's a hell of a story.
688
00:38:57,835 --> 00:38:59,920
This is
the second major in a row
689
00:39:00,421 --> 00:39:03,257
where he's held the outright 54-hole lead.
690
00:39:03,257 --> 00:39:06,177
That hasn't happened
since McIlroy back in 2011.
691
00:39:09,096 --> 00:39:13,893
McIlroy is sitting here
five back, and like Brooks Koepka,
692
00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:16,771
he's looking for a fifth career major.
693
00:39:17,813 --> 00:39:19,774
Doesn't matter
how big your lead is.
694
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:21,692
People can always come from behind.
695
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:24,487
The more times
you can put yourself in with a chance
696
00:39:24,487 --> 00:39:26,155
in the back nine on a Sunday...
697
00:39:27,948 --> 00:39:29,283
...anything is possible.
698
00:39:35,539 --> 00:39:36,624
It's a spiral.
699
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:40,294
When you've got momentum,
things are going your way,
700
00:39:40,294 --> 00:39:41,754
the spiral works upward.
701
00:39:42,922 --> 00:39:46,175
But if things... you know,
you get an un... unlucky break,
702
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:50,596
you hit a shot that you thought was going
to be good and it didn't end up good...
703
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:51,931
Sit!
704
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:57,812
{\an8}...it just starts sort of going
the other way a little bit.
705
00:39:58,312 --> 00:39:59,980
Another one of those days.
706
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:04,110
But really, focus back on the final group.
707
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:05,194
Let's go, Brooks.
708
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:07,404
- Get 'em, Brooks.
- Let's go!
709
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:13,452
One of the toughest par-3s
on the course here at three.
710
00:40:15,996 --> 00:40:20,793
And that is the shot
of a four-time major champion.
711
00:40:28,467 --> 00:40:31,303
I fear
he's going to be very hard to beat.
712
00:40:32,096 --> 00:40:34,181
Here's Koepka
for another birdie.
713
00:40:37,893 --> 00:40:38,727
On fire.
714
00:40:40,146 --> 00:40:42,273
"Catch me
if you can," says Koepka.
715
00:40:45,151 --> 00:40:48,112
Another narrow miss.
Bad par there for Rory.
716
00:40:48,988 --> 00:40:53,492
Failure's how you learn.
It's more mentality than it is anything.
717
00:40:54,201 --> 00:40:56,162
Oh, advantage, Koepka.
718
00:40:56,162 --> 00:40:57,746
A spectacular shot there.
719
00:40:58,664 --> 00:41:02,168
If you can do that,
you'll be miles ahead of everybody else.
720
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:10,301
Rory's in
with a third consecutive round of 69.
721
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:13,220
Disappointing for Rory.
722
00:41:14,847 --> 00:41:16,849
But it's not that. I mean, I...
723
00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:19,059
I fucking shit myself and left pins.
724
00:41:19,059 --> 00:41:20,728
I, like, I'm not...
725
00:41:21,437 --> 00:41:26,025
Like, my, like, technique is
nowhere near as good as it used to be.
726
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:31,739
I almost feel like I wanna do
a complete reboot.
727
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,366
Almost?
No, I do, I do.
728
00:41:34,366 --> 00:41:37,912
'Cause it's the only way
I feel like I'm gonna break through.
729
00:41:37,912 --> 00:41:40,247
I think differently. What do you want?
730
00:41:40,247 --> 00:41:42,416
But it is, like, Sean. It is.
731
00:41:42,416 --> 00:41:44,460
Like, it feels so far away.
732
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:46,003
I'm not at the stage of my life
733
00:41:46,003 --> 00:41:49,798
where I feel like I can come out
and be doing these two-week boot camps.
734
00:41:49,798 --> 00:41:50,841
Like, I feel...
735
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:54,637
Like, I feel good enough
to be, like, fucking top ten in my head,
736
00:41:54,637 --> 00:41:56,513
but not good enough to win.
737
00:41:56,513 --> 00:41:58,182
Like, pull away?
Like, pull away.
738
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,226
Like, winning fucking majors.
739
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:01,352
You know, like...
740
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,603
You know, and...
741
00:42:02,603 --> 00:42:06,065
The pressure I was feeling to be
this sort of spokesman or this leader,
742
00:42:06,065 --> 00:42:07,942
I think that was part of the problem.
743
00:42:07,942 --> 00:42:11,070
I just was disappointed
and wanted to get away from it.
744
00:42:13,447 --> 00:42:14,490
Back at 12.
745
00:42:15,074 --> 00:42:16,659
It's Koepka away.
746
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:20,955
Seems like every year
there's a momentum putt,
747
00:42:20,955 --> 00:42:22,122
one that you remember.
748
00:42:22,122 --> 00:42:23,374
This could be that one.
749
00:42:24,833 --> 00:42:27,211
Let's go. Wrap it up.
Pasta's getting cold.
750
00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:37,638
Absolutely perfect.
751
00:42:37,638 --> 00:42:40,474

{\an8}All the doubt that he had in his mind.
757
00:42:52,361 --> 00:42:54,280
You may have seen him on Full Swing.
758
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,992
Never seen a guy lacking
so much confidence with so much pedigree.
759
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,454
But he's a different guy now.
He's back to who he was.

Hell yeah!
- That's what I'm fucking talking about!
767
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:43,203
The 2023 PGA Champion,
Brooks Koepka.
768
00:43:48,375 --> 00:43:50,836
If I look back
to where we were two years ago,
769
00:43:50,836 --> 00:43:53,631
I'm just so happy right now,
I'm kind of at a loss for words,
770
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:55,924
but this is...
this is just the coolest thing.
771
00:43:59,094 --> 00:44:01,597
Feels good to be back
and get number five.
772
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:09,980
Scottie, nice finish. Good week.
773
00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:15,027
Fuck. Someone in my era
has got more majors than I have.
774
00:44:16,403 --> 00:44:17,237
Five!
775
00:44:17,237 --> 00:44:19,490
It's hard for me
not to define myself
776
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:21,575
as one of the best golfers in the world,
777
00:44:21,575 --> 00:44:25,079
so when you struggle like that,
you feel a little lost,
778
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:27,247
but I think it was a wake-up call
779
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:30,459
for me to say, "Let's just focus
on the golf for a little bit."
780
00:44:31,877 --> 00:44:32,711
Brooks!
781
00:44:33,754 --> 00:44:34,755
- Brooks!
- Yeah?
782
00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:41,720
Well done. I'm really happy
for you. Enjoy it.
783
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:42,930
Good job, Brooks.
784
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:46,934
- See you, boys.
- See ya.
785
00:44:46,934 --> 00:44:48,727
I'll give you a shout later.
- Yeah.
786
00:44:48,727 --> 00:44:49,645
Good win.
787
00:44:49,645 --> 00:44:51,397
Koepka's win is a massive blow
788
00:44:51,397 --> 00:44:54,441
to this narrative
that LIV Golf is just going to go away,
789
00:44:54,441 --> 00:44:56,568
that it can basically be ignored.
790
00:44:56,568 --> 00:44:59,780
And now that a LIV golfer
has won a major championship,
791
00:44:59,780 --> 00:45:02,574
the question becomes,
"Where do we go from here?"
792
00:45:10,958 --> 00:45:14,753
Some serious
breaking news from the world of golf.
793
00:45:14,753 --> 00:45:17,965
And not something that people expected.
794
00:45:17,965 --> 00:45:21,844
The PGA TOUR
and European Tour today announced a merger
795
00:45:21,844 --> 00:45:23,095
with LIV Golf.
796
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:24,430
The golf world,
797
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:26,557
the biggest names
in the sport, were stunned.
798
00:45:26,557 --> 00:45:28,934
I don't think anybody saw this coming.
799
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:31,061
What happened?
800
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:36,942
"What the fuck?" That was...
801
00:45:36,942 --> 00:45:40,612
I mean, I think that was the first words
out of a lot of people's mouths.
802
00:45:40,612 --> 00:45:42,197
What the fuck just happened?
803
00:45:42,197 --> 00:45:44,074
Just... chaos.
804
00:45:45,451 --> 00:45:47,077
You don't really know what's happening.
805
00:45:47,661 --> 00:45:48,704
What is happening?
806
00:45:48,704 --> 00:45:50,789
All of a sudden,
you get slapped in the face.
807
00:45:51,373 --> 00:45:55,002
Why did I just waste 12 months
of my life to fight for something
808
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:57,296
that was always gonna
come back together again?
809
00:45:57,296 --> 00:46:00,215
I'm almost to where it's like,
"Fuck it, do what you wanna do."
810
00:46:04,928 --> 00:46:06,638
Welcome, Jay and Yasir.
811
00:46:06,638 --> 00:46:09,266
{\an8}Just this picture alone
is going to surprise a lot of people.
812
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:13,103
For guys on the PGA TOUR,
things just got a lot more confusing.
813
00:46:13,103 --> 00:46:15,147
But for some of these guys on LIV,
814
00:46:15,147 --> 00:46:17,357
they're feeling like maybe
they got this right.
815
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,652
Rickie Fowler was always rumored
to go to LIV.
816
00:46:20,652 --> 00:46:23,197
He turned down
life-changing sums of money.
817
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:25,324
But for that choice to pay off,
818
00:46:25,324 --> 00:46:27,659
he's going to have to play
really good golf,
819
00:46:27,659 --> 00:46:29,244
and right now he's not doing that.
820
00:46:29,244 --> 00:46:30,871
It's a grind out there.
821
00:46:30,871 --> 00:46:33,582
Going through this struggle
for the last few years...
822
00:46:33,582 --> 00:46:34,625
Go, Rickie!
823
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:37,211
...I know that I can be
in a better place.
824
00:46:37,211 --> 00:46:40,214
Rickie Fowler makes history
at LA Country Club.
