I am likely the only professional golfer who doesn't use a yardage book

I think I'm probably the only, to my knowledge, the only tour player that doesn't. I just found myself, I would look at, I'd look up from like 150 yards and look down in the book and I'm like, this pin looks like it's in the bunker... and it just like gave me all these thoughts. Who cares? Just make it more reactive.

Brooks is confirming his own practice, which is a verified fact of his game.

Victor Wembanyama will be the best center of all time in every skill set

[Wembanyama] is evolving so fast as a center. Like the knock against [him] a couple months ago was like, he doesn't really have that great offensive low post game. And now we're seeing that Oh yeah, Wemby can do that too. He's gonna be able, he's gonna be the best center of all time at like every skill set by the time it's all said and done.

This is a long-term career projection that cannot be resolved for many years.

Dylan Harper is the best player on the San Antonio Spurs

Dylan Harper should be starting. Dylan Harper might be the best guard on that team. And I understand that they've got two other players that they're paying significant amounts of money to. But I feel like Dylan Harper is the best player on that team.

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.
