Tiger Woods is spiritually and emotionally dead as a golfer

Tiger Woods is dead. Yeah, spiritually. I mean what? You should emotionally five over six over. Yeah. Something like that. It was, it's tough to watch. It's tough to watch.

Tiger Woods missed the cut at the 2022 Open and his competitive form continued to struggle in subsequent years.

The 2022 Open Championship is perfectly set up for Rory McIlroy to win

This whole tournament just seems like it's all setting up for Rory. It feels it's giving Rory. No, it feels like it's it feels like it's Rory's time, right? Like been playing some of the best golf of his career as we've sat on this show.

Rory McIlroy finished 3rd in the 2022 Open Championship, falling short of the win to Cameron Smith.

Naming your child Cameron guarantees they will win an Open Championship

I don't know why all the Camerons are good at golf cam Smith. Isn't random. We got cam young cam young cam young is the one who's leading right now. I believe cam Smith. Isn't third. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. And Cameron's are just it's it's the most golf name out there. Have a kid named Cameron. They'll probably win an open championship.

Cameron Smith actually went on to win the 2022 Open Championship, making this take shockingly prescient despite its comedic intent.

The Suns would be stupid not to match Deandre Ayton's offer sheet from the Pacers

Deandre Ayton might be a pacer. They signed an offer sheet. I feel like the sons will be stupid not to match it, but I don't think they like him though. Well, the sons are stupid.

The Phoenix Suns matched the Indiana Pacers' 4-year, $133 million offer sheet for Deandre Ayton almost immediately after it was signed.

The smart play on the 17th hole at St. Andrews is to aim for the 18th tee

On the 17th hole. You actually wanna miss it left of the green. The play is you actually hit it on 18 tee and it's a pretty easy chip shot. So again, not super simple when there's people standing over there. But if you were playing for a score, like playing on an open today, you wanna bail it out left and you give yourself a pretty easy check.

This is a well-known strategy among St. Andrews experts to avoid the Road Hole bunker and the road itself.

Rory McIlroy is the favorite to win because he truly understands and values golf history

I love Rory this week because I think that Rory's played well lately. And Rory is the kind of guy that actually cares about sports history. Unlike so many athletes, I mean, he dives into this stuff. He eats it up. He knows what it means to win at certain places. So, you know, for people that aren't big golf fans winning at St. Andrews, I'd say is probably the biggest accomplishment in golf outside, even of winning the masters.

While Rory didn't win, Shane's analysis of his favorite status was consensus among experts that week.

The winning score of the 2022 Open Championship will be around 19 to 21 under par

I think it'll be 19 20, 21 under. If the wind's not blowing, it's just not very long, especially for these guys and especially how baked out it is. So I just feel like with the win, not up much 65, 66, 67, if you're playing well is about what the par is.

Cameron Smith won the tournament with a score of -20, which is exactly in the middle of Shane Bacon's predicted range.

Tiger Woods will never play at a semi-high level at St. Andrews again

He said no, but it's certainly gonna be the last time that he can play at a semi high level [at St. Andrews]. Obviously it's not playing out right now. But for the next time that it comes to St. Andrews, it's gonna be a few years with the rotation. So I don't know. I mean, I wish you were playing better. I wish that we could do one more magic. Go around at St. Andrews. But it does not seem like it's panning out that way.

Tiger Woods has continued to struggle with injuries and has not played at a high level in a major since this episode.

Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman is the most annoying guy in golf for ruining the game

One crown prince Muhammad bin Salman. He's an annoying golf [guy]. He is annoying. He's taken. He's just ruined the game of golf for everybody. Really. He's probably the most annoying golf guy. And if he hears me say this, he probably saw my arms off. Yes.

This is a subjective opinion on the impact of LIV Golf on the professional game.

I genetically cannot get a six-pack

I'll also never promise a six pack during the summer ever again. I am [getting there] but no. I don't think you genetically can get a six pack. Absolutely. I'm kidding. It's not everyone can get one. No, I am. I'm on the road there.

This is a recurring bit on the show; Hank's physiological ability to get a six-pack remains a point of debate.
