The winner of the US Open will shoot between minus five and minus one

No, I would like minus five to minus one. [to win]

The winning score by Bryson DeChambeau was -6, just one stroke outside of Hank's range.

Rory McIlroy will get a performance boost from his recent divorce filing

Rory McElroy divorce bump. ... Rory's just gonna go to Cleveland. He, he's either trying to go to Cleveland or it was smart. What? You said you might be trying to go to Boston. ... Girls are looking at him, I'm gonna be, I'm a champion baby.

Rory McIlroy finished T12 at the PGA Championship, a solid but non-winning performance following his divorce filing.

The winning score of the 2023 US Open will be 6 to 8 under par

I think honestly I think winner will probably be six to eight under.

The winning score by Wyndham Clark was actually -10, so Brooks was close but slightly overestimated the difficulty.

Expected rain at the Masters will lead to low scores and lots of birdies

I saw a lot of rain next week, so you guys might have a tough week there. I think it'll be soft, so might be a lot of birdies. Big hole. I think 13 always plays, they changed it a little bit this year, but that one always seems to be really important... I think there might be [low scores].

The 2023 Masters was plagued by rain delays, but Jon Rahm won with -12, which is a fairly standard winning score for Augusta, not an outlier of low scoring.

Tiger Woods is back

I was backs tiger woods. And so on. The golf club is deep. People went crazy... He swung a golf club. I've won one crazy.

Tiger did return to play in the 2022 Masters, though he was not back to his peak form.

Disc golf is the number one sport in Finland

I believe disc golf is the number one sport in Finland. Yeah, so over there it's absolutely crazy... there'll be 5,000 people walking down the sides of the fairways. It's insane.

While disc golf is explosively popular in Finland and has the most 'active players' per capita in many metrics, ice hockey is officially considered the most popular sport by viewership and institutional metrics.

Brooks Koepka will dominate The Masters

My who's back is Brooks Koepka. Yeah Brooks Koepka is back. It's a major. He's gonna dominate I'm certain of it... Masters are here. He's locked in and for the first time in a long time, it looks like he has an actual rival.

Brooks Koepka finished T-7th at the 2020 Masters. A top-10 is strong, but Dustin Johnson dominated the tournament with a record score.

Many are questioning the validity of Bryson DeChambeau's US Open win because Brooks Koepka was injured

Bryson DeChambeau... emerge victorious to win his first ever major. Many are questioning the validity of this win as two-time US Open Champion Brooks Koepka did not participate due to injury.

While some fans may have argued this, DeChambeau's win is officially valid and highly respected for how he dismantled Winged Foot.

The Match should be held every other week with different celebrity pairings

They should take what they did with the match, too, the rematch of Tiger and Phil and Tom and Peyton and just do it every other week with a different celebrity pairing.

While it didn't become bi-weekly, 'The Match' did become a recurring franchise for several years.

I don't think Tiger Woods' body can be competitive in every tournament anymore

I just don't know if his body can [compete]. He looked every bit his age and maybe even older on Thursday when he teed off and he did the wince because of his back. And he also did the old guy move... when it rains, he says, my knees hurt.

Tiger struggled significantly with injuries after 2019, though he did win the Zozo Championship in late 2019 before his 2021 car accident.

No amateur golfer has ever actually shot a 13 on a single hole

My theory is that nobody except for professional golfers have ever shot a 13 right? That's true because you just pick it up after a while.

While technically unprovable, in standard amateur play, most golfers would invoke a 'max score' or 'pick up' long before 13, making it effectively correct in spirit.

Brooks Koepka's main goal for 2019 is the Open Championship

He said to us that he's really focusing on the Open Championship this year, the British Open. That's the one he doesn't have. He really, really wants that one. He's already won two U.S. Opens.

Koepka finished T4 at the 2019 Open Championship. While he performed well, he did not win it as he had hoped.

Tiger Woods will win every major championship next year

I'm a Tiger guy. I want Tiger to win every tour major championship next year, but if it's not Tiger, I want Patrick Reed just to piss everyone off.

Tiger Woods won the 2019 Masters, but he did not win 'every' major that year.

Illegal streams for the Tiger vs Phil pay-per-view will lead to a hacking bloodbath

If you are a hacker on the internet, the Tiger and Phil pay-per-view illegal streams will be a field day. Because I would imagine a lot of 50-year-old white dudes trying to find a Twitch stream will end up with a lot of hacking... It's going to be a bloodbath on the internet.

The event actually ended up being free for many because the payment platform crashed, so the 'illegal stream' demand was likely lower than anticipated.

Tiger Woods will never again look like his old self for four straight days at the highest level

Show me Tiger Woods four days in a row at the highest level. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. Not going to happen.

While Tiger did win the 2019 Masters (a high-level, 4-day performance), for the vast majority of his post-2016 career, injuries prevented him from consistent 4-day dominance.
