Not that Tom McKibben's in the same place that Eugenio Shikara was but I mean you're looking around seeing guys who are saying
00:07
You know, I thought
00:09
You just mortgaging things that should be important to any young professional player
00:14
I think that's what Rory's saying
00:15
It's like you have chances to play on
00:16
You know Ryder Cup teams to get into majors things like that
00:20
Not saying you completely forfeit that if you go to lives there ways to do that
00:24
But it just makes it so much harder and for what I mean
00:26
I just can't imagine that how much is how much is getting paid?
00:29
I mean, I'm thinking in my head that let's say he got paid somewhere between seven to ten million dollars now
00:36
You never know what the future holds. You never know if you're gonna have injuries
00:40
You never know if you're gonna lose your game. I I sure didn't and
00:43
Looking back if I was, you know, given a live offer after my rookie year for that much money. I would
00:50
Frickin consider it. I know it's yeah, I think any
00:54
Person would now
00:56
my
00:57
Feeling on the game of golf if I would have gone to the live to and accept that offer
01:01
I think without an understanding like hey this I did this to you know, change my
01:07
my my family's lives like for for years to come now, I
01:12
Dang sure wouldn't be I saying I need world recce points over it. Whatever. I gets the decision I made
01:18
I think a lot of these guys have handled it the right way, but others haven't and it's been kind of surprising to see
01:25
John Rahm who was I thought of you know, such a good advocate for the PGA Tour and its interviews for free a
01:33
Good year or two, right? Well, you want any time he was asked a question about live
01:38
He was pretty strong on the PGA Tour and I think at times would touch on
01:43
You know his his desire to play
01:46
On the Ryder Cup teams and support the DP World Tour and how difficult it was for him to do both and so I
01:54
Could see in a world now how it's easier for him to do both. But at the same time like man
02:02
No cuts closed shop to or no relegation
02:06
Yeah
