A golfer who chokes should immediately become a sports tout on Twitter to distract fans from their failure.

Just become like the sports better guy on Twitter. Be like, 'Oh, I love the Nets plus-minus six and a half tonight. It's a lock of the century. Five-star play.' Just become a sports tout because then every bet that you miss, that's what people are talking about... Everyone forgets about the fact that you missed that putt.

This is a humorous strategy for brand management in the digital age.

We are the first of the suckers on Top Shot, but we can still get rich.

I think we're the first of the suckers. So sometimes we can get in and we'll be a little bit sucker, we'll be less suckery than the majority of people, but we're still like the first sucker. I think we can still get rich off this, though, because I bought the most pristine mint condition gift of Alex Caruso blocking James Harden.

Top Shot saw a massive surge in early 2021 followed by a significant decline in value for most 'moments,' making the 'sucker' part quite accurate while the 'getting rich' part became much harder.

I'm going to corner the market on Lou Dort Top Shots and get rich when he wins MVP

My entire investment strategy is to corner the market on Lou Dort. Okay. So I'm putting everyone in the Dortcher chamber. We're going to buy all the L...

Lou Dort did not win MVP in 2021 (Nikola Jokić won), and his Top Shot values eventually crashed along with the rest of the market.

If a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away from him.

That's the oldest rule in the book. If a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away.

It's a matter of safety advice rather than a verifiable fact, though cauliflower ear is indeed a common sign of extensive grappling experience.

I'm the freshest person in the Masters field

I am the freshest person here. I have not played a weekend in over like a month and a half and I, I have been getting more rest, more time on my couch. Like all these guys are gonna be exhausted by the time the tournament comes and I'm just cruising on it.

Subjective spin on his own physical state, though his missed cuts are factual.

The road to being a good golfer is to eliminate big mistakes by not overswinging

I respect that you've come to that, that that is how I would say the, that's the road to good is to eliminate the, the big mistakes by not over swinging.

This is a fundamental tenet of amateur golf improvement, widely supported by teaching pros.

My great golf is good enough to win a major

I know for a fact my great golf's good enough. It just needs to come out the right week. So let's just hope it's this week. It's a big difference. It's a little bit more calming knowing that like, it doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be good.

Homa finished T3 in the 2024 Masters, proving his 'great golf' can indeed compete for a major.
