And welcome back to the first cut podcast here on CBS Sports.

I'm Chip Patterson and just so thrilled today to have Mark Emelman back on the show.

Mark, of course, you can see him on cbs sports you can see him on cbs sports hq all over the place terrific golf analysis uh for us

here you have been on this podcast already but you were on it with kyle porter so i thank you

for spending some time with me as well uh well you know we've got to up the ante a little bit, you know, Kyle, sometimes we include

him.

No, look, all joking aside, it's good to be with you guys.

It's a fantastic show and it's cool for me just to be a part of it because golf is really

exciting at the stage of the game.

Does it get any more exciting than a 20-year-old who potentially, you know, comes,

not only comes with so much excitement about what he could be as a bright young star,

but when we're looking at Matthew Wolfe, like, do you, are you able to balance both the

excitement for the now, but also the thoughts in your mind about what

the future might look like for that young star?

Well, that's a really good question, Chippen.

I'll tell you what, when you watch Matthew Wolf play, I'll get to that in a minute, but

it harkens back to when Tiger Woods arrived on the scene.

You know, you always this guy also fresh-faced, all sorts of game, very poised, very mature, and a high golf IQ.

And you knew this guy was a superstar.

And then it was just, it wasn't if he was going to win.

It's when he was going to win.

And he has Matt Wolf who wins quicker than Tiger Woods did on the tour earlier, I should say, a few attempts.
