I feel like as far as golf fans are in what we're experiencing, Brooks Koepka is back and it looked like he had no punishment, but he has been, he has received punishment, like not being available for the equity program for the PGA tour for, I believe five years is plus a $5 million, you know, charitable donation.
He's had to make among other things, the things he's had to give up.
Like, yeah, he's back in playing golf and we get to enjoy that.
And that's a good thing, but yeah,
like we we kind of don't see the punishment that he's getting from this it makes you it can wash over you and thinking like he got off easy and got back easy whereas it's not beach this week it's not that easy it's not that great from a financial standpoint for him and if he got the good into the deal like what does that actually look like for rom is where the pga tour is in a really interesting spot

I think it's interesting you asked that and not Bryson because I would definitely say yes to Bryson.
No, I think you're right, Randy.
I think it's an interesting buzz item.
And I think it's one...
Again, it's not that Rahm is must-see TV, but it is more likely that the more big names you have at the Cadillac, let's just use that as maybe a bad example because it wasn't really a full field, the more likely it is that Rahm finishes third than it is Ben Griffin.
And that's what I think would be viewed as a positive thing for professional golf.
That's not a shot at Ben Griffin, but like...
