00:00We'll be right back.
00:05Golden Bear Greenside on eighteen for who will be the
00:08champion in case before a major championship, a signature
00:12event and a star studded field this week on the PGA Tour
00:16Scottie Scheffler every tournament he enters. He's
00:19going to be the short favorite plus 360 at this moment more
00:23than half the rest of the field where you see Rory McIlroy and
00:27Todd for that second best price at nine to one Colin Morikawa
00:3014 to one and Victor Hoffman rounds out the top five at
00:34eighteen to one. What do you make of the strong field and
00:37how they will perform this week at Muirfield Village? I mean
00:41this is really set up to be some kind of spectacular shootout
00:44come Sunday. You have three players all in great form under
00:48plus 1000 and you know, I'm always looking at the future
00:51boards myself. If you go ahead to the US Open, you can get
00:55Rory at plus 1100 and Xander at plus 1200. So you know the
00:59odds makers really feel right now that Xander and Rory have a
01:03great chance to take Scottie down and don't forget a year
01:06ago, Scottie came in third and he gained over 20 strokes tee
01:11to green on the field. It was unbelievable and he lost nine
01:14putting and he lost by one stroke. So this is definitely
01:17one of those places that when you break it down, Scottie
01:20Scheffler should win again by five, but we'll see what
01:22happens. Xander is your current reigning last major
01:25championship winner and of course Rory's won two of his
01:28last four. By the way, Keith, you take a look at this
01:32tournament and used to be the same way on the Florida swing
01:34where at Bay Hill, it's like Arnold Palmer is one of the
01:36all-time great icons here. He would show up to the tournament
01:39and you expected to be there sort of pay homage to one of
01:42those guys that hey, you know what they paved the way for me
01:44talk about how special it is for some of these guys to show
01:47up here at Jack's tournament knowing that it's Jack Nicholas
01:49here. He's going to be watching over it and winning this
01:51tournament almost feels like just outside of a major. Oh,
01:55it definitely does and I'll say something that you know, and
01:58I'm sure this isn't a hot take but the fact that they have
02:01stuck this event right before the US Open does a disservice
02:04to what this is. This is actually one of the most
02:07premier golf events for the season and the way that it got
02:11stuck there and a lot of people thought it was called the
02:13Memorial because it was played on Memorial Day weekend, but
02:15that's really not true. It's the Memorial because every year
02:18they honor some of the legends the Hall of Famers of the game
02:21and it's a really important tournament when it was a full
02:24field for the guys to make it here and just to see Jack when
02:27they would finish their rounds on a Friday and hopefully make
02:30the cut. I mean, hopefully as the schedule again probably
02:34changes will definitely will change again in 2025. This
02:37place can find a standalone spot on the tour because it is
02:40a really, really big deal. And since the renovation in 2020
02:44to the golf course. This place is good. I mean par 72 almost
02:487600 yards. This thing is a really firm test. You've got
02:52par fives that are like a three-shot test. I mean this
02:55thing is really really good and you look at the champions since
02:58the renovation Rob Cantley Hovland. You've got the game's
03:01best. It's it's just a great spot and to your point Donnie
03:05these guys they consider it an honor and a privilege to be
03:08here.
03:14You.
