And you watch the flight tracer on the PGA Tour and you get an idea of where the ball's going and the camera picks up the ball and it's a much better experience than it was before.

And then you go to, to live and they have a, a landing spot as part of the, of the tracer.

It's a similar, similar model, but it's competition.

Um, and that my, my, just my objection to it is just the level of, of prize money.

at every level now in the men's game, beyond the DP World Tour, is just ridiculous.

You know, $4.5 million to Rory McIlroy, who would do that for a jacket.
