The USGA's ban on the belly putter was a major mistake that cost me money and potential Ryder Cup appearances

I would think a lot of times of how much money this [belly putter ban] cost me or how many Ryder Cups maybe this cost me or majors or whatever... it was a tough time but I now when I look back, it's great cuz I shoved it, you know, screw them and now I feel better than ever.

This is a subjective assessment of his own career trajectory, but he did experience a notable dip in performance immediately following the ban.

North Carolina is one of the most underrated states in the country and is easily a top-three state overall

I actually think North Carolina is one of the most underrated states. It might be in my top three states overall. It's got everything. Got some very cool places. Asheville, awesome city in the mountains... Great beaches. Great golf. Great basketball.

State rankings are entirely subjective.

North Carolina is the rightful home of the Wright brothers over Ohio because they actually performed the first flight at Kitty Hawk

For the record, I'm on the side of North Carolina. This is like they did the flight at Kitty Hawk... Ohio's gotta get to the back of the line. It's basically like, oh, their parents had sex in Ohio. They try to count that as a dub.

While both states have historical claims (birthplace vs. flight location), the literal flight happened in NC, making PFT's specific point about location technically correct.

Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player to ever live

I think we can say Ohtani's the best baseball player to ever live.

While subjective, Ohtani's 2023 season was historically unprecedented, winning him a second unanimous MVP.

Michael Jordan is more obsessed with golf than any other human being I've ever met

I've never met anybody that loves golf more than [Michael Jordan]. That's awesome. And like, after these days... he'll do this for three weeks on end. Like he's just, his, everything about him is wired different. Next day I'm like getting up. Meanwhile, he's 60 years old... he's not the same human being I am.

MJ's golf obsession is well-documented, making this an extremely plausible and interesting character observation.

Golf should embrace more Ryder Cup-style atmospheres with partisan crowds and clear villains

I think golf needs to go more in that direction [Ryder Cup atmosphere]. I think it's great. Like even the competition between LIV guys and tour guys. I think it's great. Yeah. It's awesome.

This is a matter of sports marketing and preference, though it aligns with the trend toward more entertainment-focused golf coverage.

Relationships between American and European golfers genuinely change for the worse after playing in a Ryder Cup

Once you play in a Ryder Cup relationships change with Americans and Europeans. Like guys that you were like, it's not, it's it get on Sunday night, everyone gets together and has drinks and it's fun... but relationships change because of this tournament cuz it's really passionate and it gets intense.

This is a verifiable social claim within the world of pro golf, often echoed by other players regarding the intensity of the event.
