00:00And we'll start with this Scheffler cut from yesterday.

00:04I know you've seen it, a lot of people probably have.

00:06And that was at his press conference where he was asked about winning all these golf tournaments

00:12and potentially winning the Open Championship.

00:14And basically, Scotty, what fulfills him?

00:18I guess not just in golf, but in life.

00:21Really deep stuff from Scotty Scheffler here.

00:23It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes.

00:30It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling.

00:33And like to win the Byron Nelson Championship at home,

00:36I literally worked my entire life to become good at golf, to have an opportunity to win that tournament.

00:41And you win it, you celebrate, get to hug my family, my sisters there.

00:45It's such an amazing moment.

00:46And then it's like, okay, now what are we going to eat for dinner?

00:50Is it great to be able to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf yet?

00:54I mean, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about because it's literally worked my entire life

01:00to become good at this sport and to have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling.

01:06It's fulfilling from a sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of like the deepest, you know, places of your heart.

01:13You know, there's a lot of people that make it to what they thought was going to fulfill them in life.

01:17And then you get there and all of a sudden you get to number one in the world and then they're like, what's the point?

01:22And, you know, I really do believe that because, you know, what is the point?

01:26You're like, why do I want to win this tournament so bad?

01:28That's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis.

01:31Yeah, I have no idea what just happened to us.

01:34I feel like we were, everything was great and we got a flat tire.

01:37I don't know.

01:40And people, of course, now are, you know, trying to decipher all that and break it down and do whatever.

01:47I don't know.

01:48I guess it's easy to say that when you've made like $75 million the last two years.

01:54I guess.

01:54I don't know.

01:55It's a little out there for me.

01:58I'm not a fan.

01:59So, I don't know.

02:01There's something about him that rubs me the wrong way.

02:03I'm not, I don't root for him ever, ever.

02:08So, like, he's not, like, you know, I'm betting against him, right?

02:11Like every week.

02:12Yeah.

02:12So, I think that's what did it to me.

02:15And, you know, I get it.

02:18I guess in some capacity, people that are, you know, great at what they do and then how do they find happiness outside of that realm?

02:31It would make some level of sense to me why he's that way.

02:35Maybe he gets off on having, you know, kids or something and a family, something like that.

02:42And I don't know.

02:44I really don't.

02:45I don't have an answer to why he beats the way he does.

02:49So, it is what it is.

02:51And I don't root for him.

02:52So, I don't really care what he loves.

02:54I don't really care what he does.
