00:00Um, but then the other area that I heard that people were, you know, sort of speculating

00:04could be an area for, for Brian to fix is the PJ Torque post-season.

00:08Um, and what I had a few people bring up to me is the idea of, I'm screaming from the

00:16top of my lungs.

00:17What do you got for me?

00:18Well, so this is, well, this is the thing.

00:20So this, what everybody brought up to me and I hadn't really thought about it like this

00:23cause I, you know, think about golf and kind of its own world, but everyone said to me

00:27like professional, every professional sports league, when they get into the playoffs, the

00:32ratings multiply.

00:33It goes from, you know, to 2 million average people per, you know, broadcast to 10 million

00:39to 15 million to 20 million.

00:41And in golf, it's sometimes the opposite is true.

00:44Sometimes the tour playoff events, the FedExCup playoff events are drawing less viewership

00:49than the rest of the PJ Torque season.

00:51Um, and this is a huge area that like the networks and especially the, the business

00:57people at the PJ tour are sort of anxious to fix because if you could get a PJ tour playoff

01:04situation where suddenly 20 million people are tuning in, I mean, I know that's a big

01:09number, but like, you know, the, if you're, if you're getting major championship level

01:13viewership for the PJ tour playoffs, well, you've just built something for the PJ tour that

01:18almost brings it in line with a major championship, just in terms of commercial value.

01:23Um, and so I think that that's an area that, that we could definitely see Brian do, do some

01:29major tweaks too, because from what I understand there, there was, uh, a lot of optimism and

01:35motivation and enthusiasm behind the idea of really kind of radically revamping the PJ tour

01:41post season.

01:42And then it didn't get over the line, uh, when it needed to.

01:46Um, but I, I don't, I don't think that we're at the point now where that is like unsustainable

01:52into the future.

01:53I think this is, this is a pivot point for the tour where a lot of those changes that

01:57had been talked about in the past, maybe it could be kind of brought to life.
