00:00 I guess this is like where I'm at right now with John and just reading his comments and just hearing the just how he
00:07 Delivers like his words now. He just seems like annoyed by everybody thinking that since he went to live
00:14 He's just not the same player that he was and I and I don't think he's quite comfortable with the decision and I could be
00:21 Speaking out of turn here, but I just I just think he's
00:25 Trying to put a little bit too much pressure on himself of maybe distractions that he didn't have in the past
00:32 Just thinking about you know, just do are these fans gonna like me, you know
00:36 Like I don't know if if he's got a little bit of that and his personality of just wanting to be loved by everybody
00:41 But maybe that's something that's on his mind
00:44 I don't know just I'm just trying to figure out why John Rahm is
00:48 Missing cuts at major championships that of course like this in which he should never miss the cut
00:53 That's a really interesting one because I think what we're trying to unpack there is not a golf thing
00:59 It's like a headspace thing. Yeah, that's where I'm at right now
01:01 And I think it's it's so interesting to look at let's like let's look at some of the other big names
01:07 That that went to live and I'm not saying that that these players and their teams didn't have
01:14 Probably lengthy discussions on the front end of like what's this gonna look like and what's gonna feel like when you go?
01:19 But you can never really know until you go what the ramifications are gonna be what the what the blowback is gonna be
01:25 and I think that you know guys like Brooks Koepka like Brooks Koepka is just kind of content to
01:30 Like he wants to play and do well major. He's good care of people think about I'm like, he's he's just doing his thing
01:36 Dustin Johnson probably similar like I've won enough majors
01:40 Like I'm good like, you know, you heard him say it on full swing like more money less work. Yeah, great. I'm good with that
01:47 I'll go do my thing. I think you know, let's talk about guys like Bryson that we just touched on where
01:52 He felt a certain type of way leaving the tour and maybe part of the process of a reckoning
01:58 He had to do help them mature and get to a point where he does feel more authentic in his own skin
02:03 You're seeing that now this year and then even guys in between where like Cam Smith where he he went and took the money
02:10 And then he shows up at the Masters the next year and he's like, yeah
02:13 I kind of got lazy over the offseason and and you know, and at the end of 2023 last year, we saw him
02:19 I think he I think he missed the cut at the either the Australian PGA or the Australian Open and there was like a moment
02:24 Where he was, you know multiple strokes over par
02:27 super upset with himself and so it's like it almost took like a year for him to
02:32 Reckon with the move and the type of golf he was playing and get it back on track in a way
02:38 And so I think that that's it's probably a process that John Rahm is still going through and it might take him a full year
02:45 To process that if you know kind of to your point again, we're doing amateur psychoanalysis here
02:51 But if he's a guy like a shoot, I'm a people pleaser. Like I don't want people I don't like, you know
02:56 Seeing comments on our stuff. They're like, hey you guys think or this and that it's like that's tough
03:00 That's tough to stomach
03:01 So imagine that times 1 million for a guy's one of the biggest faces and biggest names in the game of golf
03:07 and you know whether or not you see it or your team screens you like that's gonna get to you in some way shape or
03:12 form and
03:13 he and I think the biggest thing for him is is
03:15 He wants to be seen as one of the elite players in the world and he's showing up and playing like this in majors
03:21 It's like you can you can say on the front end as much as you want to about no
03:25 I'm still gonna play good golf. I'm still in good shape
03:27 I'm still practicing but if it's like don't tell me show me and what you're showing me is not good. I
03:34 It's hard for me to draw the conclusion take you at your word that you're still able to play good golf until you show that
