Brandel Chamblee is using bots to generate fake YouTube views for Bryson DeChambeau's content

I put him [Brandel Chamblee] on the Hot Seat because there's just no way Brandel Chamblee is this locked in... but he said, 'I have no doubt that bots are generating a lot of those views.'

Chamblee's accusation is unsubstantiated; DeChambeau's YouTube growth is widely attributed to high-quality content and the 'Break 50' series.

The winning score at the US Open will be over par

Can we bet on the winning golfer to have a, a score that's over par? Yes... I wanna bet on winning score over par. I think this US Open is going to the course. Mm. Officially I've seen enough of the content where now I fear this course.

The 2024 US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau finished at -6, though the course was very difficult.

Tiger Woods' career as a competitive golfer is over following his Achilles rupture

My Hot Seat is Tiger Woods... I don't know, but it's clutch foot. It's just injury after injury. It's over. It sucks, but it's over. It's probably over.

Tiger Woods has not suffered a ruptured Achilles in 2024 or early 2025; this is a fictional scenario in the transcript.

Matt Kucher was actually taking a stand for faster play by refusing to finish on Sunday

I did see a golf journalist who had a thread breaking down why he might have been doing it... the group in front of 'em was playing super, super slow all day... Kucher was basically standing up for the guy who lost a lead... maybe he was just trying to set an example of like, the guy should have been playing faster in front of them.

Kucher later apologized for the 'mess' he created, suggesting the 'protest' defense wasn't his primary intent.

The 2024 Masters will have an asterisk because Taylor Gooch wasn't invited

Brooks' teammate on Smash Taylor Gooch was interviewed... and he said he's going to be an asterisk. It's just a reality. Taylor Gooch will always remember as the masters that didn't have Taylor Gooch.

The 2024 Masters was completed and Scottie Scheffler won. History generally does not view it with an asterisk due to Gooch's absence.

Charlie Woods could win the Masters right now if they let him in

Charlie Woods could win the Masters right now if you wanted to. Is there a way that if they let him in, he could win it? ... Charlie Woods is gonna be the greatest. He's next up. We've always said that on this podcast. He is now he's him.

Charlie Woods is a talented junior golfer, but at 13-14 years old, he would not be competitive in a professional major field.

Jack Nicklaus' name is pronounced Jack 'Nick-Klaus' because of his German ancestry

Jack Nicklaus [pronounced Nick-Klaus like Santa Claus]... He rejected a hundred million dollars to not go to the Saudi golf league... I've only read his name. I only know... because I always watch golf on mute... Nikolaos. Changed it to make it [more American].

It is universally pronounced 'Nick-luss'. Billy's 'Nick-Klaus' pronunciation is fundamentally incorrect.

John Rahm's viral skipping shot at the Masters might be doctored

John Rahm hit a shot that walked on water at Augusta... I think that the Masters needs some more Buzz around it because it's not being held at the traditional time. I think that maybe there might be some monkey business afoot here somebody who's better at the internet than me look at the footage and tell me if you think that it's doctored at all.

The shot was verified by many witnesses and other players; skipping balls on 16 is a known tradition.

If Brooks Koepka wins the 2019 US Open, he is the 'new Tiger'

I want Brooks to win... If Brooks wins this one, he's the new Tiger. I'm going to say it. He's a Blake and a Tiger and a Brooks.

Brooks Koepka finished 2nd at the 2019 US Open, losing to Gary Woodland. Since then, while Koepka has won more majors, he hasn't reached Tiger-level ubiquity or sustained dominance.

Serena Williams could beat Tiger Woods in golf right now

The real question is it sounds like Serena Williams could beat Tiger Woods now.

Hot TakeGolfScorchingSarcastic
Even at Tiger's absolute worst, he remained a professional golfer capable of shooting professional scores that Serena Williams, a tennis player, could not beat.
