Welcome in. This is 300 yards to unknown. I'm Rick Game and that right there is Eric Patterson. E Pat,

happy players week. Happy players week. Yeah, this is the PGA Tour's crown jewel. Maybe gets a little overhyped,

but still definitely a fun week. I think everyone can attest that this course is pretty sweet.

Does it get overhight? I mean, I understand it's not a major. I understand that people think

that 17 can be a little quirky, but it is the biggest prize

purse. That's, it gets a field, man. Like, it's, it's legit. No, of course. Yeah, it gets a,

it gets a field. It gets a purse, but I don't, it's, it's just everything that goes on kind of

behind the scenes. Did you hear, uh, there was an interview with Nota Begay.

He was actually on a Canadian TV show up here on one of our sports channels. And he said,

as a golf channel employee, he didn't say this specific. Well, he said this. Uh, we're not,

we're not supposed to talk about Augusta this week. So that's just like the type of stuff that, uh, bothers me,

irks me a little bit. You know, and they do like the player introductions. They do like

Sergio Garcia 11 time, 11 time PGA tour winner, players winner. Just like,

obviously they're not going to bring up the masters or, or any of the other majors. But,

um, it's almost like every other tournament of its class is just completely ignored.

So that's where if they didn't try to be the biggest show in town,

then I think I would appreciate it even more.

So you're saying if they just embrace the fact that this is like the fifth most important

golf tournament and also it's fun and you get a great field and it's the deep,

like embrace that instead of trying to be the greatest show.

Yeah, don't like,

you know,
