00:00Well, I got I got one more question for you. So you turned pro in 2008. Yeah, is that about right?
00:06What would you tell yourself?
00:09or your
00:1023 year old self now knowing what you've experienced over the last
00:15You have 20 years of being a professional
00:18Her 817 and that's LSU math right there. Sorry about that
00:23Well, what advice would you give 23 year old Webb Simpson
00:26I think I look at the best players in the world and
00:31You've seen them every week like they have an incredible team around them
00:36My first couple years were okay at best
00:39But then I started getting people in my corner who were experts whether it's a trainer a caddy
00:45Swing instructor and I really established my team. And so if I could do it over again
00:51I mean it took me a couple of years. I would have just started day one
00:55Treating myself like CEO of my company and invest I'm gonna invest in my company
01:00I know it's a lot of money, but I tell these young guys
01:02Some guys don't have a choice like they don't have the money to be able to do that yet
01:06But the guys who do who get on tour us I just try to tell them look you want to be a top 20 play
01:12In the world, it's gonna cost you money time resources to get there
01:16But do it like there's nobody in the top 10 in the world that hasn't invested
01:22Tons and tons of money into their their craft and their company
01:27and so
01:29Yeah, once I did that ie Paul Tesori
01:332011 I had my best year ever by far on the PGA Tour up until that point
01:38and so
01:40You just can't be a top player in this game without having a great team around you
01:46And you know you see it
01:49In every player that's a top player and so that's what I'll probably do different. Well, that's great advice and
01:56look forward to
01:57watching you captain this year at Bethpage web and I hope to see you in the winner circle too because
02:03It would be a lot of fun to see you with lift up some crystal again, buddy
02:08It's been fun to play with you over the years. You've been a great mentor to me and I always appreciate our friendship and
