00:14super sarcastic, super dead inside. When I'm really relaxed, country's going. So, super
00:23relaxing. Nothing too much in my ears. Nine quick questions. Easy. A bit of fun. Some
00:35more serious, some more fun. Perfect. Number one, dream four ball. Dream four ball. Tiger,
00:43Kobe Bryant. Yeah. Nice. And probably Arnold Palmer. Nice. Why not? The Kobe Bryant shout
00:52out. Yeah. Okay. Second, favorite golf course. In the entire world. In the entire world.
00:57I had to play every single day. Probably like Kapalua. I get ocean views. I don't care how
01:02tough or easy the golf course is. I want beautiful views. I want good weather. Hawaii. Best golf
01:07shot you've ever hit. Probably 16 at Harding Park, PGA Championship. Yeah, that was a given.
01:12Okay. Flipping it up. Worst golf shot you've ever hit. Yeah, that's pretty easy. ZOZO Championship,
01:182021. There weren't many fans. A shanked one. It was my first shank that I could remember in a
01:25competition round and forever. Best tip you've ever been given or best bit of advice. This could
01:31be golf. Yeah. You know, JT gave me some really good advice before my first PGA Tour tournament.
01:37He talked about just kind of, you know, just staying on your own path and just really believing
01:41in what you do and could be straight vertical and get there quicker, get to the tour quicker.
01:45But if you really love what you're doing and you're, you know, you believe in yourself,
01:48you'll get there at some point. So that was really big when I was first turning pro, obviously,
01:52with a lot of young guys, a lot of young talent and just kind of digging that belief out of me
01:58and just trying to go out and earn it. Who is the funniest person on tour? Funniest person?
02:04That's a tough one. I mean, yeah, I mean, there's some like dark humor. There's some like,
02:08there's some funny humor. Actually, Tyrell Hatton is actually one of my favorite people.
02:13The super sarcastic, super, yeah, super dead inside. He's going to love it. He's going to
02:18love to hear that. But you know what? He's actually one of my favorite people to play
02:21golf with because he's never, it's never about us. He always makes it about himself
02:26in a good way when he's making fun of himself. So it's always, it's always fun. It's entertaining.
02:32A bit of self-deprecating. Yeah. Yes. Okay. We're playing golf at Capilouto by the sound of it.
02:37You're in a car, Bluetooth speakers on. Yeah. What tune are you coming out with?
02:40It depends on the mood. Okay. Give me a few moods. Probably some country. Nice. Yeah. When I'm,
02:45when I'm really relaxed, like country's going. So super relaxing. Like nothing too much in my ears.
02:54Nice little beat. Strangest thing in your golf bag?
02:57Uh, I don't have anything weird. No, nothing. I keep it clean. Nothing. Nothing. Normal,
03:04normal golf bag. And last but not least in the quick mind,
03:07uh, how do we get more people, even more people playing golf in your opinion?
03:11I think the biggest thing to get more people is just show them that it, you know, it doesn't have
03:15to be 10 hours long. It doesn't have to be a long day. It doesn't have to, you don't have to wear
03:20pants and a button up and a nice collared shirt. Like some of the best times I've had,
03:24some of the best times I've had, and I've been fortunate to go to a lot of places and just being
03:28in a t-shirt and shorts and your sneakers and having a good time with some friends. And I
03:32think that's the biggest thing is just making it more accessible to everyone. I think that's
03:36what Adidas has been able to do is kind of merge that and see their innovation and see their
03:41forwardness on just blending golf, but also blending, you know, streetwear and things that
03:47like kids can go to school with. That's the biggest thing is how do you just kind of blend
03:51those two up together.
