Fans do not care about the LIV vs. PGA Tour drama anymore and the game just needs to be unified
No one gives a shit about this LIV stuff at this point. Golf just needs to get back together... I think everyone kind of just understands that it's better when everyone plays. It's fun to see [Rahm] and Brooks and Bryson and Cam Smith... you wanna see 'em all play together 'cause that means the best in the world are together.

Oberg will win. I'm calling my shot. Oh, yeah, [Åberg] is gonna win multiple major championships in his lifetime. But Scottie was just too good.
Scottie Scheffler will win the 2024 U.S. Open with his new baby
All that means is he's gonna have the kid and then he's definitely gonna win the US open 100% with a new baby. That's gonna be the picture. That's him holding his new baby on the tee or on the green of the 18th hole. The US Open wherever. Oh, it's Pinehurst, right? Yep. It is Pinehurst.
Do not bet on Scottie Scheffler to repeat as Masters champion in 2025

No, I don't think he would've. I think there's a freedom of — and he said it Saturday — like, 'I gotta remind myself that I'm still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket.' And I think if he had to, knowing it's Scotty and it's a one shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish a career grand slam — no. And that's not a knock on him, that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would've been if he didn't win last year.
Scottie Scheffler will end up with more career majors than Rory McIlroy
Scotty just has more runway. If he's six years younger, so that's 24 more majors. I'll take Scottie. I'm just trying to be hot take Scottie. Late night hot take Scottie.
Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief
It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.
