Donald Trump is a better golfer than Barack Obama

You've golfed with both Trump and Obama who's better? [Trump]. Trump's better, a little better. Yeah.

Koepka is judging based on direct personal observation; it is a subjective assessment of skill level.

The NBA HORSE competition is completely uninteresting

We did have HORSE last night which I'll tell you right now. I did not watch did not tune into that. Zach LaVine, that's really the only Zach LaVine who competes in every single like off-the-books contest there is... Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, really no interest in it whatsoever.

The HORSE competition was widely panned by fans and media for poor production quality and low stakes.

MLB should use completely random divisions if they play a shortened season

I'm actually all for this because it's going to be such a weird season anyway. If they play a shortened season that why not have just completely random divisions and have it beat something totally different where we always look back and I'm like, oh, yeah, that was the season that the Cubs were in the same division as the Giants.

MLB did eventually realign divisions geographically (East/Central/West) for the 2020 season, but they weren't 'completely random.'

The NFL Draft is the only thing keeping sports fans going right now

The only thing that we have pulling us forward right now is the NFL draft. And thank God that that's there because that's at least giving us something to talk about. It feels normal that it's going to happen.

The draft did indeed proceed on schedule in April 2020 and was a major cultural moment for sports fans during the lockdown.

If I win the Open Championship this weekend, I will officially take the Blake of the Year title from Blake Griffin

I'm not dead. I've never wanted to win a golf tournament so bad. [The deal is] if I win the Open Championship this weekend, I officially get [Blake Griffin's] Blake of the Year title this year. Verbatim. That's what it'll be.

Brooks Koepka did not win the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush. He missed the cut after Round 2. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament at -17, four shots clear of the field.

Playing golf in shorts is at least a two-stroke advantage per round

It's so much nicer [to wear shorts]... I'd say at least two [strokes]. Really. Yeah.

While logically comfort improves performance, there is no scientific data to quantify that wearing shorts specifically saves exactly two strokes.

The best way to play golf is to simply not think about anything

Three of your 10 lessons, were just don't think... that's honestly Fellas. That's the best way to be. It's like, I just kept on scrolling and I was like, wait, we're not, oh, just a reminder. But don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything, which is perfect. That's right where I want 'em.

A subjective coaching philosophy from a multiple-time major winner.
