What is the significance of Cuervo in the podcast?

Mike 0:12
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

God Bless Golf is brought to you by Comcast Business, powering the PGA Tour with leading networking, connectivity, advanced fiber solutions, and expert partnership. And man, am I excited about the players. The players, it's not a major, but it should be a major.

Why is The Players Championship important?

Mike 1:08
You're absolutely right. It's the players' major. Yeah. It's the players' championship. This is one of the most beautiful courses in all of golf. Best hole in golf? Yes. The Island Green. The Island Green. It's the only hole in golf that I have immortalized in a T-shirt that I bought. 17 at TPC Sawgrass is special. It's where tournaments are won and lost. You'll get the occasional electrifying hole in one. This is a beautiful course with a beautiful hole. You have it on a t-shirt? I do. A long sleeve, navy blue. Might have been green. Might have been the day to wear it.
Roy 1:39
I love this tournament. You weren't on Thursday. You weren't on Thursday.
Mike 1:42
This is appointment viewing for me. I have a special relationship with TPC Sawgrass. Whenever this tournament is on TV, it's always during the doldrums of March, right before we get going on the NCAA tournament. One day a year, I sit in a hot tub and I watch golf. It's always the players. It's uber relaxing. I love how this tournament can swing wildly from one hole to another. The players get up for it because it's their championship after all. This, for me, and I know that we have like the The Waste Management Open around Super Bowl time. That's a people's major. This is a player's major. This, for me, really kickstarts PGA season. This means occasionally I'm going to have to lock in that DK contest.
Mike 2:29
Occasionally I'm going to have to stay on top of the group chat because now golf has really started.
Amin Elhassan 2:33
The 7th at Pebble Beach, I'm trying to think of other holes that would compete for this title, but it's not that island green, though.
DraftKings Network Announcer 2:40
Really?
Amin Elhassan 2:40
Because the seventh at Pebble Beach, for people that don't know, it's the par three where you hit it into the ocean, essentially. Yeah. And it's like 130 yards, but you have to hit like a three iron because the wind is so crazy. Oh, it's the eighth hole. The eighth hole. Is it the eighth? Oh, my bad.
Mike 2:51
I thought it was the seventh. I mean, there's a bunch at Augusta. The 17th hole at the Waste Management, the people make it. Oh, yeah. That's the hole. The people make that hole. Yeah. But this is particularly challenging. This is where championships are won and lost. It's right before the tournament wraps up. This hole is always of consequence. Yeah.

How has Bill Burr impacted comedy and culture?

Mike 3:07
We have dramatic moments in golf that have happened here. A lot of illustrious winners in this one. And it's really when players round into form because Gus is around the corner. This is when the guys, and there have been some questions in golf. Scheffler was straight up on fire to close the season last year. A little bit of a struggle to get going. One of the things that I got my eyes on is guys that have remained active during the quieter part of the season. Yeah. with TGL and whatnot, they're actually sharper in these tournaments right now and performing quite well. You think he could three-peat on this? I mean, I haven't seen the form. Sheffler in the field, I'm going with the field. I haven't seen the form there.
Mike 3:45
I've got to see him lock back in there. There are guys like, I like what Rory's displayed lately, Keegan Bradley, Clark. I mean, he was a house of fire to close the final round.
Amin Elhassan 3:57
Jason Day played well last week.
Roy 3:58
Yeah.
Amin Elhassan 4:00
Jason Day's not going to win at all, but I could see him playing well this week.
