00:00My heart is with the PGA Tour. That's all I can say.
00:03I've never really played the game of golf for monetary reasons.
00:06I play for the love of the game.
00:07PGA Tour is the best platform. I play for the love of the game.
00:11Financial stability is amazing, but when they talk about majors,
00:14or when Jack talks about the US Open and winning the US Open and winning the Open,
00:19it's more than just the money.
00:21Give me one good reason to stay. Give me one good reason to stay.
00:26I do see some of the, I put this delicately, points or arguments they can make
00:35towards why they prefer it.
00:38To be honest, part of the format is not really appealing to me.
00:41Shotgun three days to me is not a golf tournament no-cut.
00:44It's that simple.
00:46I want to play against the best in the world in a format that's been going on for hundreds of
00:49years.
00:50I consider the PGA Tour has done an amazing job, giving us the best platform for us to perform.
00:55Yeah, money is great, but when Kelly and I, this first thing happened,
01:00we started talking about it. We were like, would our lifestyle change if I got 400 million?
01:03No. It would not change one bit.
01:06Truth be told, I could retire right now with what I've made,
01:08and I've lived a very happy life and not played golf again.
01:11So, I've never really played the game of golf for monetary reasons.
01:17I play for the love of the game, and I want to play against the best in the world.
01:20So, I'll tell you something about it.
