00:00Obviously, Scotty Sheffler was the biggest champion of all of 2024 and he's not going

00:05to be there.

00:06We told you last week that he had to have surgery, cut his hand, the wine glass.

00:10Give me an update, Keith, kind of just, I know we'll try to do the main guys, but Scotty,

00:15how long, why is Rory not here this week either?

00:20Do we know what's up with Jordan?

00:22How long he's still going to be away?

00:24Give me some updates on some of the guys that were hurt and Ludwig had the surgery.

00:28He played RSM.

00:29Is he good to go?

00:30Hovland's had some issues.

00:31What's the deal with our biggest guys as we start this week?

00:34Boy, I tell you, you just opened up Pandora's box right there.

00:39We'll start at number one with Scotty.

00:42Scotty got hurt during Christmas supper.

00:44I guess he had a little dance with a wine glass.

00:47As I mentioned to you guys off air, I've never cut my hand on a Coors Light can.

00:51So like, you know, if you go be bougie, then you know what, you might have a cut in your

00:55hand.

00:56Your world's number one.

00:57I don't know what to say.

00:59You know, that's like, to me, it's like tiger driving.

01:01Like why?

01:02Why are you ever putting yourself in a position, you know, to put yourself at risk with injury

01:07and who knows what happened?

01:09You know, Scotty's a pretty tame guy, but it's sad to see him not be here.

01:13They're talking about the Amex in three weeks when the PGA tour comes back to the mainland

01:17and they're out there in the Palm Desert.

01:19I don't know why he would rush for that.

01:21I think most likely we're going to see him at the AT&T when I'm out there at Pebble

01:24Beach the last weekend in January.

01:28Amex seems like a little bit of a rush.

01:30A little bit of news, a little bit of chatter around the one and only Victor Hovland this

01:34week.

01:35A couple of years ago, this guy won the FedEx Cup.

01:38Last year, it was a, you know, a carousel of coaches.

01:44There was a lot going on.

01:45He went back to the coach that helped him win the FedEx Cup.

01:47Of course, there's news this week that they have now split ways again.

01:51He also lost a battle, according to his Instagram account, with a bedpost.

01:56It looks like he has broken his pinky toe on his right foot.

01:59That can't be comfortable.

02:00So Victor's got a little bit of question marks starting around the start of the beginning

02:03of the year with maybe some injuries.

02:06Jordan Spieth, as you know, and I know we talked about it in the fall.

02:09He had wrist surgery finally.

02:11So he's been rehabbing all fall now because of his season last year.

02:15He doesn't have any of the signature designation.

02:17So we won't see Jordan for a little while.

02:20He's going to have to play in some of these January events to get inside that Aon Top

02:235 in order to be able to play Pebble as an AT&T sponsor or probably a sponsor's exemption.

02:29So I'm sure we'll see him there.

02:32A couple other guys, you know, we didn't have any major defections to live, you know, with

02:37all the rumors around Tony Finau.

02:39But he does have a bad knee.

02:41You know, he withdrew from not only the Hero World Challenge, but also the Grand Thornton,

02:45which was the mixed team event.

02:47He was expected to play in both.

02:49So there are a couple guys near the top of the betting board that have some question

02:53marks and, you know, we do still have a heavy favorite in Xander this week.

02:58If they can find sponsors exemptions for Webb Simpson, they can find them for Jordan Spieth.

03:03When we get, I mean, that's just, I'll just, I'll leave that one at that.

03:07When he's ready to play, Keith, they'll find a way to get Jordan Spieth into the biggest

03:12events.
