Soly 0:01

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a weirdly located version of the No Laying Up podcast here in the United Lounge here. We are about an hour away from getting on the plane to leave for Toursauce. Here's how today's episode is going to work. I'm Sully. I'm here with my guy, DJ Pi. Greetings. Hello. We are going to be doing a short recap here from the lounge of the golf you just witnessed. We recorded the news-ish part of the week earlier this week. with Neil and Randy that's going to come in here. Once we're done here from lunch, I'm hungry too. I've got to get a little bit of food in me as well.
Soly 0:56
Sure.
Neil 0:57
So you can expect all that on the back end.

What are the latest updates on LIV Golf's fundraising efforts?

Neil 0:58
We're going to do a little tease for our Pete Dye stuff we've got coming this week. But we're going to be hitting the road for a little bit. So just forgive us for the random setting for this Sunday night podcast.
Unknown 1:07
I mean, it's an emergency. When you see a tournament like this, you've got to hop in no matter what the circumstances. No, we're going to get to that. Before we get to that, Sully. The wait is over.
DJ Pie 1:17
Big news.
Unknown 1:18
We were going on tour of Sauce and Sally was complaining, oh, I don't have a driver. This is an unfair situation. You got the driver now. You got everything or just the driver? You guys have been with me long enough.
Neil 1:26
You just make up what I would have said, but now I'm trained.

How is Tom Fazio involved in the renovations at East Potomac?

Neil 1:30
That would be my excuse, but I never actually said that. You guys were the ones that said it. Right up to the line, though. I was playing with inferior technology when we were in England. Got fit, new GTS3. So I just got it literally yesterday. Had a little bit of time after the kids went down to hit a couple of balls. You work on it while you're testing it and everything, but until you get it on your course, you don't know how it's going to be. Touched 170 for the first time without any speed training in several years, I think. It was the easiest, fastest switch out. I'm getting a little bit more air under it, a little bit more carry under it than I have. The GT was just a little flatter for me. Easiest possible fix.
Neil 2:06
Thought there'd be a little bit of like, hey, should I take it on Taurus? I don't know.

What are the implications of LIV Golf's financial strategy?

Neil 2:09
Bang, right in.
Unknown 2:10
Right in the bag. Immediately in. I think 100% of the field. He's going to be putting the GTS in play on this year's Tour of Sauce.
Neil 2:18
So if you haven't been fit recently, there's a good chance you are leaving some performance on the table. Titleist.com will help you find a GTS fitting near you.
Unknown 2:28
Favorite week of the year, CJ Cup, Byron Nelson. We're going to have some fun. We're going to say a lot of stuff. Let's start positive. Wyndham Clark shot 60 in the final round. They don't just hand out 60s. Look, I know there's a lot of birdies out there. I know it's hard to make bogeys.

How does the PGA Tour schedule for 2028 look?

Unknown 2:42
I know. You still got to make putts. He putted unbelievable. He seemed to find it with the driver. If you go look at his stats from Aronamink and some of the earlier tournaments this year, he was not quite as comfy with the driver as he seemed to be. A lot of this is going to lead back to the golf course. Probably. You can get away with some stuff out there. Maybe he seemed a little freed up, but look, he shot 60 and he shot 30 under. I'm glad that they sent that message to the golf course, $25 million renovation to get one stroke lower. No, wasn't I saying positive things? Yes, you're trying. It's really hard. There are a couple different directions I could go. You could focus on the fact that, man, it's really hard to make a bogey.

What challenges does professional golf face in maintaining viewer interest?

Unknown 3:25
Scotty Scheffler didn't make a five until, what, like the 70th hole of the tournament or 68th hole of the tournament, something like that. There was also a ton of people out there. I think there is a very interesting push and pull. I don't know how you feel. But I think there's a very interesting push and pull between, like, that is objectively not a good TV product. Correct. That was not fun to watch. In person makes a ton of sense.
