00:00So, obviously, the Hero World Challenge, Keith,

00:02it's every year, it's at the end of the season.

00:04There's only 20 golfers there.

00:06It's Tiger's deal.

00:07Tiger usually plays.

00:09Of course, Tiger not playing this year.

00:13Now, I actually have a clip of him

00:14that we may or may not get to

00:15that I want to play for Scottie later,

00:16which is him basically saying,

00:18for the 900th time yesterday,

00:21I'm just not there to compete with these guys right now.

00:24I don't feel well enough to compete.

00:27He was asked about a statement he made last year,

00:30which I thought was nonsense,

00:31that he was going to try to play every month in 2025.

00:35Keith, he hasn't been able to play once or twice a year.

00:38He's going to try to play once a month next year?

00:42Look, we love Tiger, everything that he's done,

00:46but at some point, Keith, we just got to say,

00:49Tiger, it's just not going to happen.

00:51It just isn't.

00:53Well, quite honestly, Mike,

00:54I think the field is telling him that.

00:57Where's Morikawa?

00:58Where's Zander?

00:59Where's Rory?

01:00Where is the field this week?

01:02A couple years ago, when Tiger was playing in the event,

01:05the average world ranking of the field,

01:06these 20 guys, was about 15.

01:09This year, it's just over 20.

01:11I think the field is telling us something,

01:13and Tiger's losing his connection.

01:14I mean, he's no Bryson.

01:16He's no hole-in-one challenge.

01:18You know what I mean?

01:19The younger guys,

01:20I think they're a little disconnected to Tiger,

01:22and it's a little bit too much time in the boardroom,

01:24quite honestly.

01:26Yeah, I could see that, and you're right.

01:29When you start to get down,

01:30and listen, we love some of these guys,

01:32but honestly, getting Aaron Rye,

01:34and, you know, it's just a little too much

01:38as you start to get a little further down the list here.

01:40Nicky Dunlap there this week, by the way,

01:43which I think is pretty fun,

01:44and he deserves, he's had a good year, Nick.

01:46Rookie of the year, indeed.
