(upbeat music)
00:03
- I hear that Woods goes through more prep
00:07
on a table than an NFL player.
00:10
Like he literally is for two hours before he plays,
00:15
getting massages and getting stretched
00:18
and cranking his hips and his back
00:21
and his legs and his ankle.
00:23
And then he goes from there to the range
00:26
and has to do another litany of exercises
00:30
just to be able to go to the first tee.
00:33
Now I said to you before in the break,
00:35
if you can't get out of your car
00:38
and grab your bag, pay for your round
00:40
and go to the first tee and start swinging, it's over.
00:44
I mean, it's simple.
00:45
Like do you think Rory McIlroy can't legitimately,
00:49
if he wanted to, get out of the car?
00:51
I know they don't do this 'cause they always warm up
00:53
and go to the range and do all this stuff.
00:55
But I know he could get out of his car
00:57
and if he was late, traffic jam, final round on Sunday,
01:01
he could get right out of his car
01:02
and go to the first tee and start swinging
01:04
and hit the ball 325 yards.
01:06
Tiger Woods has to go through an amazing cascade
01:11
of exercises and stretching just to play.
01:14
And that's just all you need to know, but he's finished.
01:18
He just can't do it anymore.
01:19
And everyone's fascination with him is aside,
01:23
we all know how great he is and how great he was.
01:25
And that's what he is, he's was.
01:28
- And I think that that's the expectation
01:31
that people have to have when a weekend like this
01:34
comes around and look, you're only gonna get,
01:36
and this is if he's completely healthy
01:39
and not having ankle surgeries and doing this and doing that.
01:42
If he's completely healthy, you're only getting them five,
01:47
maybe six times in the whole year.
01:50
He's always gonna play this, Masters, PGA, US Open
01:54
and the British, and that's if he can even make it to July,
01:58
if he plays in that one.
01:59
So I think when people see him playing,
02:02
I think you going in, you know, he's not there to win.
02:05
Now people still run to the window
02:07
and bet him at 150 to one and 175 to one.
02:10
And he's the most tickets every time he plays.
02:13
- And they lose their money.
02:15
- And they lose their money.
02:16
And the sports books love that.
02:17
They love when Tiger plays
02:18
because everybody goes to the window
02:21
and starts firing away on Tiger Woods.
02:23
I mean, look at all these numbers he's got this week.
02:25
I mean, he's 125 to one.
02:27
I mean, look at these numbers, top five, top 10, top 20,
02:30
make the cut.
02:32
I think if you want to play anything with him today,
02:34
which we did, we had a couple of things just for today,
02:37
Thursday, I don't want any part of him
02:39
dragging his leg around on Saturday or Sunday.
02:41
I don't want anything to do with it.
02:42
You just don't, but we love the nostalgia.
02:45
We love watching him play.
02:47
And he will always be there, like you said,
02:49
as an ambassador of this game.
02:50
I told you he's going to play the Masters
02:52
until they won't let him go to the tee box anymore,
02:54
like these other old guys do.
02:56
He'll keep showing up at Augusta every spring
02:58
until they force him to hit that ceremonial first tee shot,
03:03
like Gary Player does now and like Jack does.
03:05
He's going to do the regular tournament
03:08
as long as he possibly can.
03:08
- He's going to be Fred Couples.
03:10
I mean, Freddie is my boy.
03:13
I'm friends with Fred and he shows up every year
03:16
at the Masters and plays great until Sunday, right?
03:20
Like he can't win it and neither can Tiger.
03:23
It's over.
03:24
It's over.
03:24
It's a young man's game.
03:26
That's it.
03:27
It's a young man's game.
