  Speaker 2: Welcome back.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us here on a Tuesday, watching
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: The Masters this weekend, and I'm watching on Sunday, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking is, Man, this Alan ship Nuck's timing
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't be better.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Alan, How are you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: I'm happy that that's what you were thinking of while
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: you were watching. You should have been thinking of you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: Ben Hogan and Jack Nicholas and you know, some of
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: the greats in the game. Not little old me, but yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: I will say that the timing is exquisite. Some Gorilla
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: marketing by Rory is very helpful.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We saw just like we did last year, which you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: wrote about in your new book, Everything Good and Bad
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: about Rory in eighteen holes on both of those Sundays
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the last two years, did we not?
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, for all of his incredible physical tools, I
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: think the most impressive thing about Rory has to be
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: his resilience. Like the guy can take a punch and
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: he just keeps marching forward. Obviously we saw it last
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: year and this year. You know, he blows the lead
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: on Saturday, gets off to an okay start, and the
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: double on four, the bogey on six. All of a sudden,
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: he's three back, guys are racing up the leader board.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: He's got no life, he's got no energy. And then
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: for about you know, two and a half hours, he
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: just accessed to his genius and you know, played eleven
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: holes and four under to you know, snatch the tournament
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: by the throat, little wabble on eighteen. But he had
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: a shot to play with. He was never going to
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: pull a Phil Nicholson and you know, make a double bogie,
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: so he made a workman like you know five to
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: close it out. And so it was the scary thing
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: for the competition is Rory won the Masters with his
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: B minus game? You know he was never driving it. Well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: that's his superpower. You know, last in the field in
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: driving accuracy over the first two rounds, struggled on Saturday
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: and still somehow pulled it out. So pretty incredible performance.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: You know, that was a professional victory. It was a
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: workman like it was. It was a wily veteran and
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: just Rory's continued evolution is really fun to watch.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Is he that much better than the field when he
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is on top of his game? Allen?
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously Scotty Scheffler plays at an incredibly
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: high level. Yes, almost every time he teas it up.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: But I think Rory's best is still the best in
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: the game. And it was significant. You know, Scotty threw
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: everything he had at Rory. Yes, I mean he's going
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: to rue the missed opportunities on the par fives, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: you know, first guy to play the weekend bogie free
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: at the Masters, and he put quite a charge on
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: and but ultimately he was Scotty who blinked. He couldn't
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: make the putts when he had to, He couldn't make
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: the birdies on the back nine when he had to
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: and Rory did. So it's very significant, you know, for
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: to beat Scotty head to head and put some daylight
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: between him and Scotty. From a legacy standpoint, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Roy now has six majors, Scotty has four. Rory has
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: the Grand Lam, Scotty doesn't. Rory has back to back masters.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: You know, Scotty's never done that. So it was a
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: monumental victory for McElroy. And you know, this, this budding
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: rivalry with Scheffler could be incredible, and this was the
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: first tantalizing you know glimp.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You know, last year.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the fact that this guy only quote
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: had four majors and he hadn't had one in forever,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he may never have another one. Now he's got six
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: one year later and we're looking at him going, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: wonder how many he could win after all.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's quite a career upgrade, you know for Rory's legacy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: These last you know, twelve plus months and he into
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: very very rarefied air. I mean, only six guys have
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: won the career Grand Slam. Only only four now have
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: won back to back Green jackets. That's Nicholas Tiger and
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Nick Faldo and now Rory, So he's doing some very
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: special things. And even before this Masters, I you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: I'd said he's definitely one. He's now made himself one
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: of a dozen and greatest players of all time, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: every time he picks off another one, he just keeps
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: moving up the list. So you know, he's he has
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: a chance now to go down as one of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: handful of greatest golfers of all time. I mean, he's
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: got to win a few more. But he's highly motivated.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: His game is more mature and polished than it's ever been.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: He does a great job of taking care of himself.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: You know, Brooks Koepka is that broken down, has surgery.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Justin Thomas has broken down, has surgeries, Jordan Spieth has.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Rory's been incredibly healthy. I mean, his longevity is highly underrated.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: So I think a lot of his best golfers in
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: front of them, and it's really exciting.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I noticed on social media and being what it is,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the comments about Phil and Rory being you said, Hey,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I like Phil, but there's certain things that he hasn't, dude,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that Rory has done, and it's not even close. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: wondered if you could expand on that a little bit.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So, so Phil and Rory each have six major
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: championship victories. The difference there is Phil can never win
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: US Open, you know, magnified the flaws in his game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: Rory has a US Open, so advantage Rory. You know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Phil has more PGA Tour victories, but Rory's won all
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: around the world, you know, a dozen times in Europe alone,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: so that kind of nets out. But you know, Michelson
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: never got to world number one. Rory spent you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: two years there. Micholson never won a money title. McElroy's
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: won three in the US and seven in Europe. Micholson
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: was a horrendous writer cup player, and McElroy's gonna go
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: down as the winningest writer cupper ever. So in my mind,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: you know, Rory's far surpassed Phil, and it's just like
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: you surpassed Trevino and Faldo, who each have six majors
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: as well, because of Rory's global impact, because of all
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: the places he's won, his longevity. So uh, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of intangibles that you can point to
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: with Macroy, even you know, winning two players championships, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: it's clearly become a very important golf tournament. So it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: he has an incredible resume and it's only getting, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: more glittering.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I was. I was thinking about this today.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If you keep writing books about golfers, Alan, you're not
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: gonna have anybody else to talk to when you're covering
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: tour events.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you know that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: It's funny because you know, Rory was a little spiky
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: during the reporting of this book. It got in his
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: head a little bit. We had we he kind of
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: threw some f bombs at me on the driving range
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: in the US Open.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: We wrote about that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: It's all in the book. But there's a happy ending
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: because when he came to Pebble Beach for the tournaments
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: here and I live nearby, I gave Rory's manager a
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: couple of copies of the book and Rory publicly thanked
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: me for that in front of the whole press corps.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: And that was I think a little bit of a
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: public bearing of the hatchet. But then on Sunday night,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: when I was walking to my car, I bumped into
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Rory just randomly. He was dark, the whole place had
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: cleared out, but he told me he started reading the
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: book and he liked it and made him laugh, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: you know, the forward, the beginning of the book has
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: some of the spiciest materials. Yes, I'm in a good
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: place for Rory, but you know, ultimately, that's not the
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: audience I care about. I write for the fans. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: write for the people at home. But on a human level,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: it's nice that he's pleased with the book, But I
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: was always going to write the book I wanted to write,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: And if you hated it, I would have been okay
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: with that because I ultimately I think I treated him
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: very fairly. I think it's a feel good book. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: think I captured why so many people root for Rory
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: and why they care about him, And so I'm glad
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: he could see that. You know, it really is kind
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: of a feel good story.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Even though you've covered him for a long time and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you knew stuff about him, What was there other things
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that surprised you as you researched this.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Book allan Oh?
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean every chapter I learned new things. It
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: was new revelations. And there's not the earthquakes like in
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: the Mickelson book, because Rory doesn't have doesn't have those
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: kind of you know, demons really he it's his has
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: been mostly a life well lived. I mean, there's he's
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: had some controversy in his business life and his love life.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: That's all in the book because it has to be.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: It's just this the totality of his life. But ultimately,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: I think he's had himself a lot of grace in
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: the uh, in the public eye. And but yeah, I mean,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: you know, the first time I ever saw Rory swing
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: of golf Club was the two thousand and seven Open Championship.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: He was a few months from turning pro. But his
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: whole journey up to that point I kind of missed,
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: and even his first three years when he played almost
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: exclusively in Europe. I heard, I heard his name. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: knew he was a great young talent, but I hadn't
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: I wasn't fully tuned into his story at that point.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: So I learned so much in the research and in
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: the you know, the hundreds of interviews I did, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: going back to his hometown, and so yeah, I think,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: you know, my role is to people know the broad
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: strokes of Rory's life. I need to give it context.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: I need to give it uh fresh material, new new thoughts,
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: new reporting, new ways to look at this whole journey
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: he's been on, and so basically, you know what I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: hearing from from readers now the book's been out in
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the wild for a while, like they really have learned
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: a lot about him. So that's gratifying because that's ultimately,
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: you know, the mandate for a book like this, Like
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: I'm not just gonna take a bunch of newspaper stories
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: and rewrite them. I mean, I've spent a year and
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: a half researching this and doing interviews, and that's what
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: people want is to learn something new.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk in broad strokes, but but
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: this is.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The guy that grew up with not a lot with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: blue collar parents, did he not?
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean it's an incredible rags to riches story.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Jerry McElroy, Rory's dad. He'd get up in the morning
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: and leave at seven am. I mean he'd go serve
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: as the janitor at this rugby club, and then at
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: noon he would go to the local golf club serve
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: as a bartender and a waiter.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Hollywood.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: He'd run, he'd run home for dinner. Then he'd go
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: back to the rugby club and serve as a bartender
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: until midnight and as soon as he got home, Rory's
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: mom Rosie, would walk out the door and take the
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: graveyard shift at this local factory packing boxes. Like you
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: can't imagine a more like mind numbing task you all
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: night than just packing boxes. But they did this because
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: they were kind of haunted by this feeling that their
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: son had an incredible talent and they had to do
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: everything they could to give him the opportunity to be
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: to compete against the best players and and and see
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: what great courses look like, and have the most up
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: to date equipment and just give him a chance. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: you know, from this blue collar family and this war
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: torn land in Northern Ireland, and you know, for Rory
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: to become the king of like the most patrician of
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: all sports, like it it's really it's really an credible story.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Uh. They were the only Catholic family in the area,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: did I Did I get that right? During what they
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: called the troubles in Northern Ireland?
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not the only ones, but they were Catholic in
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Northern Ireland, which was heavily Protestant. And you know, that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: been a shadow over the entire family's life. You know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Rory's great uncle was assassinated because he was a Catholic.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Catholic and a Protestant town. He moved neighborhoods and Rory's mom, Rosie,
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: there were so many murders and bombings they came it
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: came to be known as murder Town. That was the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: grim nickname. So this has been a shadow over Rory's life.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: He was eight years old when the Good Friday Agreement
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: was signed that that ended the troubles and the violence,
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: but the tension has always been there. It's it's part
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: of why he's such a global citizen, Like he understands
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: life is complex and he's had to learn how to
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: navigate these really challenging political environments. And you know, a
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: lot of these a lot of the golfers he's competing against,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: they grew up in affluence and these private clubs, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: they're not really in touch with the real world. I mean,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Rory's seen it, he's lived it. He has that feeling
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: of otherness and so it's given him such a broad perspective.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: And and as you know, the mclroy is like the
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: finer things in life that Rory has, the jets and
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: the mansions and the cars, and you know, Jerry McElroy
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: always has a very fancy watts and but but they've
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: never forgotten where they came from and they they still
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: have that that small town, blue collar sensibility. And I
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: think that's why Rory is such an appealing character, because
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: there is a humility and there is a gratitude that's
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: rare for any any professional athlete, let alone you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: a hall of fame. And so that's why the back
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Roys are welcome everywhere they go because they're just keep down,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: They're just they're just solid people.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He made a statement that I think he came to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: regret one time when he said, sometimes I feel more
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: British than Irish.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that quote has shadowed Rory. And but again, you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Northern Ireland is a member of the British Empire, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: he grew up watching BBC. He the currency was pounds sterling.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: You know, that was just his life. And it wasn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: until he became a teenager and he started traveling all
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: over Ireland and he really spent time in the Republic
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: of Ireland, which is Catholic and which is completely separate
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: from the British Empire. And so you know, he was
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: just being honest. But there's certainly people, you know, there's
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: old timers in the Republic of Ireland will never forgive
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Rory for saying that. But you know they're they're missing
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: the point here. I mean, Rory's become an incredible ambassador
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: for all of Ireland. He he represented the Republic of
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Ireland in the Olympics. You know, that was a choice
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: he made. He could have gone for Great Britain, but
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: he chose Ireland. You know, on the cover of my book,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: he's wearing a green shirt. Yeah, that's that was the
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Olympic uniform for Ireland. So I think Rory has done
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: a lot to heal the divisions. And you know, it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: a cliche that sports can bring people together, but it
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: just happens to it's just true. And so you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: he he is part of this new generation that usually
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: the first generation on that island who's ever have known peace.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: And so he's a symbol of how you can move
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: between both cultures and both both heritages. And I give
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: a lot of credit. It's never been easy for him,
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: but I think he's handled it with a lot of grace.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: The book is called Rory, We're Visiting with Alan Ship
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Knock and Alan. One of the one of the things
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you write about that I think in DearS Rory to
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: fans is he can be brutally honest and is not
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: afraid to say whatever he's feeling, sometimes publicly.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: I mean that's also a rare quality, you know in Superstars.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Wait, we didn't get that from Tiger, by the way, No, No,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: thirty years of Tiger word salads where he didn't say
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: anything that.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: No, there was no there's a lot of words, there
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: was no content. And Rory wears his heart on his
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: sleeve and he will take strong stands on political issues.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: We saw this in sort of this battle for the
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: soul of professional golf between the PGA Tour and Live Rory.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: He put it. He put it out there. You know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: he became the spokesman not only for the tour, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: a lot of people would say for the entire sport.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was the target. The target was on
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: his back. He became the spokesman, didn't he.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, I mean it came. It came at
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: a cost. But he has a very strong, you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: moral compass. And three years before it, Live Golf Lawn
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: the Saudis first began getting into pro golf with something
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: called the Saudi International and it was a tournament on
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the European Tour, and the first one was held in
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: January of twenty nineteen. That was three months after Jamal Kashogi,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: who was a resident of the United States and who
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: worked at Washington Post, was assassinated by the government of
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Saudi Arabia, and the entire Western world was distancing themselves
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: from the Saudis, cutting off diplomatic ties, ending business relationships.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: But the golf if they were the only allies that
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: the Saudis had. They played that tournament and many top
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Americans showed up because they were paid millions of dollars
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: to do it. And Rory was offered the biggest appearance
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: fee and he said, and he turned it down, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: he said, I think there's a morally to this. He
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: didn't want their money, and he said, I want to
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: be on the right side of history. And he's walked
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: the walk. I mean, he could have gotten half a
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: billion dollars easily from live but he venerates the institutions
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: of the PGA Tour and the European Tour, and he
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: wanted to be the guy who helped save it, you know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: not tear down all this tradition and all this all
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: this legacy.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: And so.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: You know, I think Rory's been an incredible leader for
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: the sport. And he definitely lost some fans in their
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: battle because you know, he did turn into a little
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: bit of a troll, like he loved taking shots to
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Greg Norman at Phil Micholson and guys like that who
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: went to you know, we're the driving forces of live golf.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: But he has no regrets. I mean, I think in
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: his heart he knows that he's doing the right thing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: And and because of his leadership, I mean, the PGA
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Tour has won this war, Like the war's over. The
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: tour won, and Rory's been a huge part of that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: How has he generally perceived among as fellow golfers? Do
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you think.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Generally they love him? Because Roy has that common touch
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: like if if you're some rookie and you win the Porter,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: you go open, you know, kind of a B list tournament,
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: no one's really paying attention. Rory will come find you
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: on the range and shake your hand and take congratulations
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: because he remembers when he was a young player and
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: the big names in the game did that for him,
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: and he likes to carry those traditions forward. He just
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: has a human touch.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Part of his advocacy for the PGA Tour was reshaping
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: it into a better product. You know, it never made
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: sense that the PGA Tour had fifty tournaments, yeah, but
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: that the tour the biggest stars only play twenty of them.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: It devalued the products and to battle live golf, they
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: had to get more money to the top players, and
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: so they you know, Rory helped create the signature events
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: model where smaller fields, huge purses, all the best players
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: show up and compete, and it's been a home run.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: The TV ratings are through the roof and no because
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: the top players are now making so much money that
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: no one's gone to live golf since John Rahm in
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty three. So it works. But if you're kind
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: of a journeyman who's just trying to hang on, like,
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: there's going to be fewer playing opportunities for you this
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: year and especially next year, and so you hear some
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: grumbling about Rory from some of the players, but those
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: are the guys who are at the bomb of the
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: money list and the ones who drive the sport, the
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: ones who drive the interest like they're thankful because he's
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: made their lives significantly better. So I would say in general,
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Rory is wildly popular with his peers, but he does
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: have his detractor. It's not really personal, it's professional, you right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: That he's been around now twenty years, so he's he's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: into his second generation of golfers.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Right. He was bad like.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Tiger when he came up, and now it's Des Chambeau
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and other and Scotty and other guys.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: On the tour.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: I mean it's really third generation because he you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Rory had battle Tiger and Phil and VJ and Ernie
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Ernie Els, and then you had this next group who
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: came in. It was Dustin Johnson, it was Jordan Spieth
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: and Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas and guys like that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: And now there's this whole new generation, the Ludwig be
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Bears and all these young kids, and Roy he's beating
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: them all. He's literally dominated three different generations. It's absolutely incredible.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: His longevity has not talked about enough because he's basically
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: turned pro. He was just past the seventeenth he was
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: seventeen years old when he decided to turn pro. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: so you know he's thirty six now, but he's really
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: twenty years into his career. And you know, Michelson was
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: kind of a gold standard for longevity. You know, he
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: basically was a leading figure in the sport for three
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: decades and I have no doubt that Rory is going
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: to going to do the same thing because he takes
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: great care of himself. He has kind of this long, long,
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: languid swing that those are the ones that hold up
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: and the short, violent ones don't last as long. And
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: he's never had a serious injury other than when he
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: was playing soccer with his buddies, and so you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: he's importantly. Rory cares deeply about his place in history
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: and his legacy in the sport, and he's highly motivated,
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Like he wants the Crown Jewels. He wants to win
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: an Open Championship at Saint Andrews. He wants to win
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: a US Open at Pedal Beats, he wants to win
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: and Open at Royal Port Rush, you know in Northern Ireland,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: and so and I thought it was so interesting, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: he had a little swoon after last year's Masters, but
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: he found his passion. It was kind of rekindled at
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: the Irish Open when he stormed back and eagled a
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: last hole and he won a playoff, and I thought
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: his comments were so important. He said it wasn't about him.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: He said, I'm just so happy I could do it
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: for these fans and you know, I could just give
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: them what they wanted. And it was almost like he realizes,
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: like it's not a it's not a lonely individual pursuit anymore,
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Like he carries the hopes of Tall of Ireland, the
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: whole golf world, the good will of the fans, like,
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: and he knows he's playing for something bigger, Like he's
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: a once in a lifetime talent. He wants to maximize that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: He wants to do so much in this sport and
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: really leave a legacy. And so I think that that
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: that bodwell for his longevity, because it's it's not just
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: about him anymore, it's something bigger. And I think that's
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: what gets him out of bed to practice. And you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of discourse around how much he came
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: up to Augusta to prepare for this year's Masters, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: that's awesome. It just shows how much he cares, Like
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: he could have just closed forever after winning the Sear
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Grand Slam, but he threw his heart into preparing and
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: he he went that extra mile. And it's like, you
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: know the val Victorian who's got one fight, you know,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: another test their senior year, they're still up at midnight
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: studying because they just care that much. Like that's Rory
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: and you have to commend that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You don't think he's through, do you? Not a long shot?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: No?
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: No, He's got a lot of golf in him. And
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: you know there's things that are not on the radar
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: screen of the average fan. But Colin Montgomery won eight
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: money titles in Europe. Rory has seven. He wants to
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: get to at least nine. He's two and a half
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: points away from third on the all time Ryder Cup
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: points list. He would like to keep ascending that list.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Finis the modern Ryder Cup began. Lee Westwood is the
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: winningest player. His team has won seven Ryder Cups. Rory's
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: been on six winning sides. He'd like to get to eight.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: Like these are things that drive him, that have meaning
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: for him and more power to him, you know, Like.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The book is called Rory Alan Schipknok wrote it. I
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for the time. Congratulations on the book.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Congratulations on the timing of the book.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: That's even better.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's not about me. I'm I'm just
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: happy to give fans something to read when they're in
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: the in the bathroom. You got you gotta know your
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: role in this life.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: But I am proud of the book and you should be.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: We're enjoying it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Who do you, hey, I hate doing this when when
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a book is just out. You've done all this work.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But who would you like to do next?
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Well, I already know. So have you read Golf in
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: the Kingdom?
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so Michael Murphy is the author, and that book
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: came out fifty five years ago and it's as beautiful
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: now as it was then, and it's one of the
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: best selling golf books of all time. Michael Murphy and
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I went to the same middle school, we went to
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: the same high school. We're from the same hometown. He's
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: now ninety five, but he is a razor sharp, like
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: his brain is an absolute supercomputer, and he's just become
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: a good friend. And I go open and he lives
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: north of San Francisco. I drive up to his house
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: and we spend all day together and I record our conversations.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: And so it's gonna be a little bit of a
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: biography because he's had an extraordinary life and he's a
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: man on the mountaintop. Because he also co founded something
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: called the Esslin Institute in Big Sur in nineteen sixty two,
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: which was the first mind, body, metaphysical, human potential kind
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: of retreat center. And so he has been friends with
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: all the gurus and all the saints and all the sinners,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: and all the writers and all the thinkers, and so,
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: you know, all of life's big questions. He's spent his
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: he's been pondering, and he's been talking to really brilliant people.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: So he kind of has the wisdom of the ages.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: And I think it's going to be a really fun,
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: interesting book. It's it's not a golf book, but sure
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: it's golf adjacent. You know, that's what people know him
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: for in our world.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: But he's he's one of one.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: He's an absolutely incredible character. So I'm already working on that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: And I said, the guy's ninety five. There's a little
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: there's a little urgency so fast type fast.
• 28:13

• 34:50
  Speaker 5: But we gotta throw them in we do. As the
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Winster's mark one hundred years since Elizabeth's birth on April
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: twenty first, nineteen twenty.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: The next week Big Doings, she.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Defined, modern monarchy remains everywhere in memory and ritual in
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: India during symbols of the crown, But so too does
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: her absence.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's been not good since she left.
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: The family she once held together as navigating a far
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: more uncertain era marked by illness, estrangement, scandal, and the
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: pressure of providing the monarch, can still steady itself without
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: its longing survivor serving anchors. Sorry, she was the calm
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: in the face of problems. People knew that they could
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: count on her. Elizabeth did not solve every royal problem
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: in her lifetime, but she did something few public figures
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: ever managed. She managed turbulent turbulents. Without her, the monarchy
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: has appeared more exposed than ever under the mourning pressure
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: of every truth King Charles Long, the way to Rain

  Speaker 5: of the Princess of Wales cancer diagnosis. They have been
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: obviously pushed into a more h a different role essentially.
• 36:17
