View episodeI was wrong about Tiger Woods never winning another major
Hand up, I never thought I'd see Tiger back in this spot. I was definitely in the camp of he'll be in it maybe a couple times, maybe flirt with one... but he'll never win another major. I was very wrong.

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.
