0:03 | HIDEKI MATSUYAMA AND WHAT A RUN

0:05 | HE’S BEEN ON THE FIELD AND GOT

0:07 | IT DONE WITH THE RBC AND THERE

0:09 | YOU SEE THE THREE REMAINING

0:10 | SIGNATURE EVENTS OF 2024.

0:12 | LET’S KEEP THE CONVERSATION

0:14 | WELCOME IN GOLF WEEK SENIOR

0:16 | WRITER BETH ANN NISHGCHOLS AND

0:21 | SIRIUS XM TAYLOR SASHA.

0:23 | YOU’VE BEEN COMING TO LPGA FOR A

0:25 | LONG, LONG TIME.

0:26 | THIS NELLY KORDA STORY,

0:28 | COMPARABLE TO ANNIKA BACK IN THE

0:31 | DAY, LYDIA KO, BIGGER?

0:33 | HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY IT?

0:35 | >> BUILDING.

0:39 | I THINK WE’LL KNOW MORE AFTER

0:40 | THIS WEEK.

0:41 | I DEFINITELY THINK THERE’S THIS

0:43 | FEELING THAT A LOT OF FOLKS HAD

0:44 | THAT WE WISH SHE HAD CONTINUED

0:47 | PLAYING ON INTO WILSHIRE AFTER

0:50 | THAT FANTASTIC FINISH AT THE

0:52 | CHEVRON THAT SHE THEN TOOK TWO

0:55 | WEEKS OFF AND SHE TOOK A LITTLE

0:57 | BIT OF THE BUZZ AWAY FOR A

0:59 | WHILE, BUT HOPEFULLY IT’S

1:01 | BUILDING, AND I THINK WE

1:02 | MIGHT — WE MIGHT SEE THIS WEEK

1:05 | WE’LL SEE HER DO SPECIAL THINGS

1:06 | AND I’M HOPING THAT ARE OUTSIDE

1:08 | THE BOX FOR THE TOUR AND THAT’S

1:09 | WHAT THE LPGA REALLY NEEDS.

1:11 | >> TAYLOR, ARE YOU TAKING NELLY

1:15 | OR TAKING THE FIELD IN THAT’S A

1:16 | TOUGH BET THIS WEEK.

1:17 | >> I WOULD WANT TO SAY NELLY AND

1:19 | IT’S GREAT FOR THE WOMEN’S GAME

1:21 | IF SHE WINS AND I DON’T KNOW

1:22 | AFTER A WEEK OFF HOW THAT FORM

1:26 | LASTS AND IT’S SUCH A FICKLE

1:27 | THING KEEPING THE MOMENTUM GOING

1:28 | AND I LIKE THE WORD THAT BETH

1:30 | ANN CHOSE FOR HER AND FOR THE

1:32 | THIS IS A GREAT STORY.

1:33 | WE’VE HAD A LOT OF JUNK THAT

1:35 | WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THE

1:36 | LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IN

1:39 | PROFESSIONAL GOLF AND FIND

1:40 | SOMEONE THAT HAS THE BEST SWING

1:42 | IN THE GAME, MEN OR WOMEN

1:45 | INCLUDED, AND I THINK THAT WHAT

1:47 | BETH ANN SAID WAS TRUE AND WE

1:49 | CAN SIT HERE AND SAY I WISH YOU

1:53 | WOULD DO MORE MEDIA AND PROMOTE

1:55 | THE GAME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND

1:56 | IF SHE GOES AND WINS IN JERSEY

1:59 | THIS WEEK AND IF SHE WERE TO WIN

2:00 | THE WOMEN’S OPEN AND THE BIGGEST

2:03 | EVENT IN WOMEN’S GOLF AT THE END

2:04 | OF MAY AND EARLY JUNE, THEN NONE

2:06 | OF WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE LAST

2:07 | COUPLE OF WEEKS OR HOW MUCH IT

2:10 | WILL MATTER.

2:12 | IT WILL BE A MASSIVE STORY IF

2:13 | >> THERE’S CHATTER WITH THE

2:15 | WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP.

2:17 | SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER IS THE ONLY

2:18 | PROMINENT PLAYER THAT’S NOT

2:20 | THERE AND THE OCCASIONAL

2:22 | RUMBLING THAT THE EVENT HAS

2:25 | DID YOU FEEL AS THOUGH THAT WAS

2:27 | THE CASE WHEN THE LPGA TOUR WAS

2:31 | IN THE WAY AND DOES IT GO HAND

2:34 | IN HAND WHEN YOU HAVE A PLAYER

2:36 | ON THE DOMINANT STRETCH THAT SHE

2:39 | FEELS DIMINISHED COME IT’S

2:41 | >> I THINK THAT FEELING IS

2:43 | INEVITABLE AND THE REST OF THE

2:44 | FIELD FELT LIKE THEY FINALLY HAD

2:46 | A CHANCE AND OBVIOUSLY, HANNAH

2:51 | GREEN APPRECIATE DD IT AND IT W

2:54 | A GREAT WEEK FOR HER.

2:56 | ANY WEEK NELLY KORDA TAKES OFF

2:58 | AT THIS POINT WILL FEEL LIKE A

2:59 | DOWNER AND PROBABLY MORE SO

3:02 | SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE

3:03 | MIDST OF SUCH AN INCREDIBLE TEAR

3:05 | AND YOU THOUGHT SHE COULD TAKE

3:07 | ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE MEDIA

3:08 | OPPORTUNITIES IN A WAY THAT LPGA

3:11 | PLAYERS RARELY HAVE A CHANCE TO

3:13 | SO THANKFULLY, THIS EVENT IS

3:16 | REALLY CLOSE TO NEW YORK CITY.

3:17 | SO HOPEFULLY WE SEE SOMETHING

3:20 | IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE

3:22 | THE WORKS FROM HER TEAM IN THE

3:24 | LPGA COMING FORWARD THIS WEEK.

3:26 | >> TAYLOR, DON’T WE NEED TO SEE

3:29 | MORE THOUGH?

3:30 | I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN

3:31 | INTERESTING COLUMN IN “USA

3:34 | TODAY” THAT THIS WOULD BE GOLF’S

3:35 | CAITLIN CLARK MOMENT AND THAT WE

3:37 | AS A SPORT COLLECTIVELY HAVEN’T

3:39 | QUITE CAPTURED IT.

3:41 | WHETHER IT’S KNELL’S RELUCTANCE

3:43 | TO BE MORE OUT FRONT AND THE

3:45 | LPGA NOT BUILDING IT ENOUGH AND

3:46 | WHETHER IT’S TELEVISION’S FAULT

3:48 | NOT BUILDING THE STORY ENOUGH

3:49 | WITH ALL OF THE GIRLS THAT ARE

3:52 | PICKING UP GOLF CLUBS THESE DAYS

3:55 | WHY IS THE STORY EVEN BIGGER

3:56 | >> IT’S A GREAT QUESTION.

3:58 | I’M EXCITED TO HEAR THAT GOLF’S

4:00 | BEST OR THE LPGA’S BEST INSIDER

4:02 | JUST TEASED US OR WHAT WILL BE

4:04 | HAPPENING IN THE NEXT WEEK OR

4:05 | TWO BECAUSE WE NEED STUFF LIKE

4:08 | WE NEED HER ON THE “TODAY” SHOW

4:10 | AND WE NEED HER TO BE DOING

4:13 | MAINSTREAM MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES

4:15 | AS MUCH AS SHE’S WILLING TO DO

4:16 | AND SHE SAID AFTER WINNING THE

4:18 | CHEVRON THAT WE NEED BETTER

4:19 | COVERAGE OF THE WOMEN’S GAME IN

4:20 | PRIME TIME AND I AGREE WITH

4:22 | THAT, BUT WE NEED THE BIGGEST

4:24 | NAME FRONT-FACING OUT THERE

4:27 | SUGGESTING THAT SHE GO FROM A

4:29 | ONE TO TEN IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH

4:31 | TIME AND HOW BIG OF A COMMITMENT

4:33 | SHE’S MAKING TO PROMOTE IN THE

4:35 | I’M ASKING HER TO GO FROM SAY A

4:38 | 4 TO A 6, BUT TO YOUR POINT,

4:41 | DAMON, IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY.

4:43 | IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD

4:44 | ALL BE EXCITED TO PROMOTE, AND

4:45 | I’M WITH YOU.

4:46 | THE MORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC GETS

4:50 | ACCESS TO HER TO WATCH THAT

4:51 | SWING TO WATCH HOW

4:53 | MILD-MANNERED, KIND,

4:54 | LEVEL-HEADED SHE IS, THE WAY

4:55 | THAT SHE SUPPORTS THE GAME, THE

4:57 | MORE THAT SHE’LL GAIN FANS ALL

4:59 | OVER THE WORLD SIMILARLY TO WHAT

5:01 | YOU JUST REFERENCED WITH CAITLIN

5:04 | >> I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE

5:05 | WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP FOR A

5:09 | MOMENT AND WEBB SIMPSON WHO

5:11 | WORKS AT QUAIL FOLLOW AND IT’S

5:12 | THE FOURTH ONE THAT HE’S GOTTEN

5:14 | TO A SIGNATURE EVENT AND ADAM

5:19 | SCOTT HAS GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO

5:21 | THE MOST LUCRATIVE EVENTS AND

5:24 | YOU CAN ALWAYS JUSTIFY THOSE

5:25 | GUYS WHY THEY’RE DESERVING OF

5:26 | THE SPONSOR EXEMPTIONS, BUT

5:28 | THERE ARE ALSO POLICY BOARD

5:30 | MEMBERS OF THE PGA TOUR IN AN

5:31 | ERA WHERE OPPORTUNITIES ARE

5:32 | DWINDLING FOR THE RANK AND FILE

5:33 | AND THE OPTICS LOOK PRETTY POOR

5:35 | FROM MY STANDPOINT.

5:37 | DO YOU THINK THE TOUR NEEDS TO

5:38 | SERIOUSLY LOOK AT MORE STRINGENT

5:41 | LIMITS ON HOW MANY OF THOSE

5:43 | INVITATIONALS A PLAYER CAN

5:45 | ACCEPT OR WHAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE

5:47 | IN RETURN FOR ACCEPTING THEM?

5:49 | >> I NG THAT’S PROBABLY THE WAY

5:51 | TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT

5:53 | SAYING, OKAY, MAYBE I NEED TO

5:55 | CHANGE THE RULES ALTHOUGH IF I’M

5:58 | LOOKING AT WHAT’S BEST FOR

6:00 | BUSINESS I WOULD HAVE THE

6:01 | PLAYERS THAT YOU’RE TALKING

6:02 | ABOUT RIGHT NOW ESPECIALLY THIS

6:04 | HE LIVES ON THE 7th TEE BOX AND

6:07 | HE IS A HUGE MEMBER OF OUR

6:09 | COMMUNITY AND IT MAKES ALL OF

6:10 | THE SENSE IN THE WORLD FOR HIM

6:11 | TO BE HERE THIS WEEK AND ADAM

6:13 | SCOTT, ANYONE WHO HAS SPENT TWO

6:15 | MINUTES WITH ADAM SCOTT CAN

6:17 | UNDERSTAND WHY HE IS HERE.

6:19 | HE IS ONE OF THE MOST

6:20 | CONSIDERABLE PEOPLE IN THE GAVE

6:21 | AND HE’S AN IDENTIFIABLE PLAYER

6:22 | AND WE NEED TO MAKE GOOD

6:27 | DECISIONS ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE

6:29 | SPONSORS IN MEN’S PROFESSIONAL

6:32 | SURE, IF YOU MAKE THE RULE OR

6:33 | SOMEONE MAKES THE RULE THAT YOU

6:34 | CAN’T HAVE MORE THAN TWO OR

6:36 | THREE DURING THE YEAR, IT WOULD

6:38 | BE GREAT TO SE
