Jason Day's ceiling is still historically high as his back issues have subsided

Jason Day who won last week... his ceiling is very high. People forget, but in 2016, Jason Day was, had a historically great year. His ceiling is very high. So two guys that are sort of outside the top five favorites, I would say Ricky Fowler and Jason Day.

Subjective opinion on a player's potential peak.

The Nuggets will win the series against the Lakers in six games

I still think Nuggets and six, if [Jokic] can dominate like he dominated tonight and I actually don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to as insane as his game was tonight.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers will win Game 2 because they found a way to disrupt the Nuggets in the fourth quarter

I think the Lakers might win game two because it did feel also like it in the fourth quarter. It felt like they figured a little something out. Like Anthony Davis was playing off Gordon, was disrupting everything. I just think it is gonna be a long series.

The Nuggets won Game 2 (108-103) and went on to sweep the Lakers 4-0.

San Antonio is the perfect landing spot for Victor Wembanyama because of Gregg Popovich

If you want a young player to not have his career go sideways with bad coaching and a dysfunctional franchise, there's no better place than San Antonio for [Wembanyama] to land.

Wembanyama had a historic rookie season under Popovich, winning Rookie of the Year and validating the 'perfect fit' narrative.

The PGA/LIV merger brings golf closer to a global circuit model similar to Formula One

If we look back on this in five years... we have this kind of white whale in our sport for a while of this global tour... we could have like a Formula One circuit where we've got events in LA and New York and Rome and Paris and Australia and Tokyo. We are closer to that. The DP World tour is also involved with this... so golf is probably going more global.

While the details of the merger are still being finalized, the PGA Tour has already significantly expanded its global footprint and partnership with international tours.

The PGA/LIV merger is a total victory for Saudi Arabia

The general reaction is that this is a win for the Saudis. What's a reaction from the players? You've got the LIV players. Taylor Gooch is on there tweeting a picture of his feet at a beach. Phil is dancing. This is a victory for them. They've wanted this all along.

The PIF successfully integrated with the PGA Tour, achieving significant influence over the sport's future.

If a sovereign wealth fund offered tennis a billion dollars for a 'PIF Tour,' tennis would accept it in a heartbeat

If some guy who controls some country's money says, oh, I want to give the NBA players a billion dollars... the PJ Tour set a hell of a precedent. A sport like tennis is a good, I think, example. Tennis is really great for the top 20 players, but there's not nearly as many players making a good living in tennis as there is in golf. If the Saudis came to tennis and said, here's a bunch of this money, let's make it the PIF tour, they would say yes in a heartbeat.

Since this take, the ATP and WTA have held major events in Saudi Arabia and the PIF has signed a 'strategic partnership' with the ATP, confirming the trend.
