Scottie Scheffler will eventually reach double-digit majors

If everything stays like, you know, if he stays healthy and plays for 15 more years, like it does feel like he will be in that double digit majors territory.

Scheffler has three majors currently in the episode's timeline. Reaching ten is a very high bar that only two players have ever hit.

Scottie Scheffler is a 'system golfer' who is significantly less effective without his caddy, Ted Scott

I still think that the fact that [Scottie Scheffler's] caddy skip Saturday is a bigger story. That's so crazy to me. He sucked on Saturday. He's a system golfer. Ted Scott is the reason why Scotty is so good. ... [Scheffler] shot great again on Sunday when Ted Scott came back.

Scheffler shot 73 on Saturday without Scott and 65 on Sunday with him, supporting the humorous claim, though calling the world #1 a 'system golfer' is satirical.

Charlie Woods is going to completely transform the game of golf

I think when all is said and done, Charlie Woods is gonna be the guy that completely transforms golf. Agreed. Yeah. He's gonna break the, break the mold.

Charlie Woods is still a teenager; this will take a decade or more to resolve.

Tiger Woods will win another major championship

I'm standing behind my guy. Tiger Woods wins another major. For sure.

Tiger Woods has not won a major since the 2019 Masters and has struggled with health.

Brooks Koepka will catch Tiger Woods's major record

Brooks is 10 away from Tiger. I'm gonna be the first to say it. Brooks can catch Tiger Woods's major record.

Tiger has 15 majors; Brooks has 5. Brooks would need 10 more to tie, which is statistically improbable for a player in his 30s.

Hank did not become a scratch golfer (0 handicap) by the end of that week, nor has he ever been one.

Charlie Woods will win at least two major championships in his career.

Will Charlie Woods win a major? I would say yes. Hammer absolutely. Multiple over one and a half. Yeah. Majors over for Charlie Woods. ... Just bet on him to be better than Tiger. Charlie Woods's gonna be the greatest.

Charlie Woods is still a youth golfer; this will take over a decade to resolve.

You shouldn't be able to win a Major while wearing braces

Not to teeth shame, but I don't think you should be able to win the US Open with braces... I'm happy that he's getting his teeth fixed... but in the moment the take was, this is bullshit. Take his trophy away.

Hot TakeGolfFireSarcastic
There are no rules against dental hardware in golf.

If Danny Woodhead makes the cut in a US Open, I will shave every hair off my body

If you make the cut it's every hair. If you make the U.S. Open, I'll cut my hair into like regular lengths.

Danny Woodhead never actually made the field of a US Open, so the condition for the body-shaving was never met.

Jack Nic-KLAUS rejected a hundred million dollars from the Saudi golf league

My cool throne is Jack Nic-KLAUS, who rejected a hundred million dollars to not go to the Saudi golf league... Wait — Jack Nic-KLAUS? Jack Nicklaus. He said it like— It took me two seconds to realize that's who he was talking about. Oh God, what planet did you— Billy rejected a hundred million dollars... Good for Jack Nic-KLAUS. It's fucking spelled— Spell name. Nicklaus. Wow. I've only read his name.

It's Jack Nicklaus (NICK-luss), the greatest golfer of all time. Not Jack Nicholas, the greatest actor of all time. Billy's defense — "it's spelled that way" — is factually incorrect on both counts.

I guarantee I will win six tournaments on the PGA Tour this season

I'm going to go with six [wins]. [That's a considerable amount of wins]. I'm trying.

Justin Thomas won exactly one tournament in the 2021-22 season (the PGA Championship).

Brooks Koepka would have won the PGA Championship by 15 strokes if his knee was healthy

[Brooks Koepka's] knee is hurting him, and he wasn't able to get all the way low to read putts, and the putter is what kind of killed him today and this weekend. So Ipso facto, he probably would have won this tournament by 15 strokes if his knee was okay.

Hot TakeGolfFireSarcastic
Koepka finished tied for second, two strokes behind Mickelson. There is no way to verify he would have won by 15 strokes.

I guarantee I will win the career Grand Slam

At what point in your career do you think you'll have all four majors? Guarantee it. I'm trying to figure out when the next time we play St. Andrews because I will win one at St. Andrews. I know that.

As of late 2024, Koepka has won 5 majors (3 PGAs, 2 US Opens) but has not yet won the Masters or The Open, leaving him short of the Grand Slam.

I went from a 110-golfer to shooting an 80 in just four weeks to win a $550K bet

I had a year to shoot 80. Well, I got a month to go, and I still can't break 105... with a week to spare, yours truly shot the 80 and sent it to the ATM... In four weeks, I did that.

This is a well-known story in the poker world; Phil Ivey reportedly paid out the bet after Negreanu's intensive training.

Jim 'Bones' Mackay was Phil Mickelson's personal bookie

Phil Mickelson and his caddy, Bones... they are splitting up. I mean, we all know why, right? Two reasons. One, Phil didn't go to the U.S. Open... and two, Bones was probably Phil's bookie, and Phil probably can't gamble anymore.

Hot TakeGolfFireSarcastic
There is no factual evidence Mackay was Mickelson's bookie, though Mickelson's significant gambling debts were later confirmed by biographers.

Tiger Woods is actually getting hair transplant surgery or steroids, not back surgery

Tiger had a fourth back surgery. I have a stay woke on that... I think he's actually getting hair transplant surgery and he's calling it back surgery... Or steroids. He's getting a steroid implanted in his body.

Hot TakeGolfFireSarcastic
Tiger Woods underwent a posterior lumbar interbody fusion, a legitimate medical procedure for his back.
