00:00Just the DP World Tour event, I was actually able to watch a little bit more of that.
00:04And that was an interesting leaderboard the whole week.
00:07It was, like you said, it was Ryan Gerrard, but then Rory McIlroy.
00:11By the way, he's really starting to swing the golf club better.
00:14So I look for him to continue to have a big fall and most likely win another race to Dubai.
00:20He's won however many to this point.
00:22It's a stupid number.
00:23But I thought he looked solid.
00:26Of course, that drive on 18 ended up being costly for him.
00:29But huge credit to J.J. Spahn, man.
00:31I believe he birdied four of his last five holes.
00:34He played the 18th hole, six under for the week.
00:36So it's just impressive.
00:38Then Aaron Rye, too.
00:39I thought there's a chance.
00:41He always plays well.
00:42He's won there, too, at Wentworth, if I recall.
00:44Yeah.
00:45I mean, I love this event every year.
00:48And it feels like, again, we don't know the full details.
00:51I think Rollap's last statement on that is what we'll know more in February when we do the big schedule
00:56reveal for 2028.
00:58But more details on what this sort of fall is going to look like for mostly players that have been
01:04on championship and mostly players that have been on challenger.
01:07Because it feels like for challenger, we know there's a sort of last chance opportunity if you're not in the
01:12top 20 that are earning their card and going up to the championship series.
01:15But as far as the guys that retain their championship card through finishing top 90 and all that, there's this
01:23opportunity to go and play in all these international opens or national opens, I should say, that are aligned with
01:29the DP World Tour, just further reaffirming that strategic partnership.
01:32And so this being the centerpiece of that and going to a lot of other places and maybe seeing some
01:36of these guys that don't play internationally have the chance to do that a little bit more, I think it's
01:41just cool.
01:42I mean, there are a ton of unique settings this time of year.
01:45Ireland.
01:46The one in Switzerland is unbelievable.
01:48And I think it's – I want to see more of that.
01:51And it looks like that's the direction of that.
01:51You will.
01:52You will.
01:53And I think that a big reason why is like when we're starting the PGA Tour season, how late we're
02:00going to start.
02:00We're used to starting almost like day after the new year.
02:04And now like we're potentially starting after the Super Bowl.
02:06I mean, that's a whole month where guys have normally been playing golf.
02:11So I definitely think that you're going to see more guys being playing or playing golf on the DP World
02:16Tour in a co-sanctioned PGA Tour format maybe.
02:21If not, this guy's just going over to play, whatever it is.
02:24I think you'll see more of it.
