00:00Well, Greg, let's begin with Tiger Woods. You've teased it a little bit this morning. So let's hear from our guy Tiger met with the press yesterday
00:07Talked about the idea of making money at the Ryder Cup
00:12Here is what Tiger had to say about that
00:15going back to my playing days
00:18We had the same conversation back in 99 and it was we we didn't want to get paid
00:24we wanted to give more money to charity and
00:27The media turned it around us against us and said we want to get paid
00:30It's no I mean the Ryder Cup itself makes so much money
00:34Why can't we allocate it to various charities?
00:36And what's wrong with each player 12 players getting a million dollars and you go?
00:41Deep it out to me amazing charities that they're involved in that they can help out their hometowns and where they're they're from
00:48all the different junior golf associations or
00:52Endeavors that the members are involved in it
00:55It's never really bent about getting paid as a hockey
00:58We allocate funds to be able to help our sport or help things that we believe in back home
01:04Because it's so hard to get on to that team. There's only 12 guys
01:07What's wrong with being able to allocate more funds?
01:10So do you think again now the issue is one of messaging that the players should make it clear?
01:15Whatever money they get will go to charity. I hope they get five million dollars each and
01:21Donate all the charity different different charities. Okay, right. I think it's great. I did what's wrong with that?
01:27so
01:29To be clear first time ever those representing their country in the u.s. Mm-hmm would be paid for the Ryder Cup first time ever
01:37You look at the Olympics. They don't get much money. They should be paid. They should be paid. So everybody should be paid
01:44That's why you and Courtney were so annoyed with Tiger this morning
01:47I'm so annoyed with Tiger because it's like when you do something like this when you are the mouthpiece for the PGA as Tiger Woods is
01:55You do a blanket statement like that and I'm sure some guys guys give back in whatever way they want to don't make it a
02:03Blanket. Yes, we should all give every penny that we earn for the for making the Ryder Cup team to a charity
02:10It's a great thing to do
02:11But I just don't think that Tiger Woods who makes more money than God should be speaking about how any other
02:17Golfer should be making their money
02:18well to be fair though like the Ryder Cup team as he as he said like it's that it's only 12 guys and it's the
02:24Best guys in the sport at the time, which means they've already made a ton of money on the tour that year
02:29That's kind of the point. It's not like the Jake Knapp's of the world. You're preventing from making money
02:33It's the Scotty Scheffler's of the world who've already made 28 million and he's like, yeah, I'm good
02:38I can just like toss up to charity. That's fine
02:40It is so beneath Tiger to do this
02:43So shine you have an issue with these guys making money just specifically in the Ryder Cup because traditionally they haven't
02:50Yeah, it's the top earners in the countries that they're they're representing
02:54So it's the top European earners and the top American earners like that's just how it is. Why did those guys need?
03:01Here's the issue shine the NBC pays NBC pays the Olympic whatever it is
03:07USOC pays billions of dollars Comcast every Olympiad to get those rights NBC makes money
03:15Everybody makes money except the people performing and in the Ryder Cup Tiger Woods
03:20Has enriched himself beyond any measure and all the guys that enter the Ryder Cup will do the same
03:25But if he wants to share what he's given charitably, that'd be very interesting to me
03:30I think you make your money and then you decide where to spend it. I don't think Tiger Woods has
03:37Think move when he has so much money to be dictating what other guys should give to charity or not
03:43Anything it was a suggestion
03:48Anybody comes out and says anything or does anything differently than what he says they look like the douche
03:53I just don't think that you should be talking about anybody else's money and in chime. I love you
03:58but if we were all
04:00Professional golfers and on Team USA for the Ryder Cup and Greg got up and said yeah
04:05Everybody on the team should be donating all of their money
04:07I'm sure you'd have something just Courtney if I was one of the if I was one of the top 12 earning golfers in the
04:12World, I think I'd be okay with it
04:16$28 million this year and that's not the case
04:18But like it was she's my look at how much these guys are on the team this year. Okay made this past year
04:25They're not making not all of them made 20. No, I'm not saying all of them did I'm saying Scotty Scheffler did okay?
04:30So that's great for Scotty Scheffler. Yes
04:32But all of these guys have made a fantastic living for a year Courtney like of work
04:39People that are grinding out here like
04:42On an hourly basis about the normal person. We're talking about professional athlete. Exactly. That's my point
04:47Bring your mind there. But if I but if I made five million dollars in a year, that's a ton of money
04:54But if I could double that from making the Ryder Cup team and set up my family, let's look at the NBA, right?
05:00Let's look at the Boston Celtics. So Jalen Brown makes sixty million dollars this year something to that effect
05:04Yeah, and Peyton Pritchard makes eight million, right something like that
05:08Yeah
05:08So if Jalen Brown said we should all give 30% of our salary away
05:13Because people can't eat and there's all these issues going on
05:16It's easy relatively speaking for him to say right but Peyton Pritchard giving up a third of eight million is much different than it
05:23Is a different situation
05:24This is like if they got picked to go to the Olympics, right and the Olympics guys were like, yeah
05:28We should all give our salary away. This isn't like the regular season. That's not what he's saying the regular season your money
05:34You make what you earn. No, this is like this is like group play if Jalen Brown would have said
05:38All right, if we win the tournament exactly, let's just give our five hundred thousand dollars
05:42We have to check my thing is this whether it's Bezos whether it's a billionaire a gazillionaire
05:51Who's right? Is it for you to know?
05:55Where he gives his money to or
05:58complain if he doesn't give his money away or complain if he gives money away and it's not enough like just because you're a
06:04Billionaire or you have a lot of money. You should never be like, that's not what they're doing. No, no, no
06:09Listen shots is right though. You know how much cart fees are these days?
06:12I don't know
06:13but all I'm saying is
06:15Xander honestly Xander is probably greens fees and card fees. The guy's probably just making ends meet
06:21Definitely not just like letting him walk onto the course for free cuz he's Xander bleeping shop
06:26Expensive those hollow dogs are I think I think if we get bonus for our fall book, we should all give it away
06:34I don't get one. So yes do that Courtney go for that. Okay, so then we'll just take it out of your normal
06:40Because if you look it becomes a thing, that's not what this is Greg
06:44No, it isn't Courtney. Yeah again, they're not taking away from what you're
06:49Shy but it's like different even if it's 14 billionaires and one billionaire says we should all give our money away like
06:56Don't worry about other people's money
07:01Conflating this I like so we're on this though because chime is saying traditionally
07:06Golfers decided I'm gonna it's an honor for me to represent my country
07:10Right, and I'm gonna do it on the on the donut and and so like I kind of like your take on
07:16But now they've given the money though as a gen. Yeah, this was a millennial Gen Z
07:20So this is different in golf you you get what you earn
07:24So like where you finish is how much money you get paid you don't make the cut you don't get paid. Okay
07:33So with the Ryder Cup now though, you're just you're giving a like an appearance fee
07:40You could get
07:41Destroyed at the Ryder Cup I get five billion dollars. That's why Tiger Woods like we've never gotten paid for this
07:47Nobody no golfer in history has ever gotten paid for this
07:49But I think it would be a good idea if when you do get paid for this because it's just an appearance for you
07:54There's nothing to do with your performance. You give it a chair. Wait, wait when Tiger touching your the rest of your
08:00Join the PGA. Nobody earned a million dollars for winning a tournament
08:04Should we go back to the way it was before he joined the PGA Curtis again?
08:07Different
08:09My point is this though shine listen
08:11Why should Tiger Woods even open his mouth to say?
08:16What other people should do with a bonus would in a parent's fee or anything like that?
08:22He considers himself to be the great Tiger Woods, but it's it's not himself to be the voice of the game
08:29He's saying that if he was there now Wiggy, that's what he would do but he was there
08:34They didn't get paid for it Curtis, so he couldn't do it and if they were getting paid
08:40Tiger Woods is the cheapest human read the books about him. So cool. So shine. Maybe he's changed shine
08:45We gave believes in people changing
08:49Here's what here's what Tiger Woods should have said he should have said
08:52Oh, these guys are now getting paid if I would be playing and I got these bonus money or this fee
08:59I would give mine away to charity. That's it. That's basically what he is
09:03He's saying that up the guy. She said he's saying the guys should but he's saying that the
09:11Guys should get paid more so we can give more to charity. Oh, it's literally what he said
09:175k for charity and then backed out because Oh Ken has to make you work
09:25Where you gonna be this weekend, oh, that's right. You're not even gonna be there
09:27He knew what I was doing the whole time. I never said I was gonna be running it
09:32My boss asked me to work I'm helping out I know what you want for me
09:35I I don't I I don't subscribe to that man
09:38Like everybody after Tiger gave like was in such a hoopla about live
09:44Like I just think he talks too much about other people and how they make their money
09:47Well, I get mad at people with Taylor Swift when they're like, oh, she should have gave more money, right?
09:51Oh, if I'm a billionaire and I want to give a dollar to a charity
09:56I'm giving something but if I don't want to give anything like
09:59Why is it you're right my MYO be yeah, why is it you're right to my own beeswax? Oh
10:06Maybe I don't want to give my money
