00:17In the early days of TV, the most viewed sport wasn't baseball, basketball, or even football.
00:24It was professional bowling.
00:26Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Johnny Johnston. Welcome to the show.
00:30I know. It's hard to believe.
00:32And he really throws a speedball. Here he goes to the line. It looks good. He's in it. He carries
00:36it.
00:36Even the first athlete with a million-dollar endorsement was a bowler.
00:41The pros depend on the ebonite gyro.
00:44And many more followed.
00:46Now is the time to get a set of heavy-duty McGraw-Matic chocolate covers.
00:49So, yes, all athletes have bowling to thank for TV endorsement deals.
00:55You know, I'm always teaching bowlers how to put fingers in the shot.
00:58But over generations, while other sports stars have signed countless deals with companies like Nike and Rolex,
01:06pro bowlers are lucky to get paid promoting hardwood floors, stretchy jeans, and flushable wipes.
01:14Two hands cleans up the back pretty well.
01:17Though these deals might supplement their winnings, it's important to remember they don't bowl for fame or riches,
01:25but rather for a love of the game.
01:28Fuck yourself, fucking cunt. Bag of a fucking lane.
01:39The Detroit area is famous for a lot of things.
01:43Cars, Motown Music, and M&M.
01:46Detroit, what?
01:47Okay, thank you, sir.
01:49Detroit, baby!
01:49But Detroit is also the unofficial bowling capital of the world,
01:54with over 50,000 regular league bowlers and 80 bowling centers,
01:59one of which is the host of the USBC Masters, Thunder Bowl Lanes.
02:05The Masters is the one major where amateurs and professionals bowl side by side.
02:11It follows a double elimination format.
02:14So if you lose once, you're still in the game.
02:17But you lose twice, you go home.
02:22Hey, don't try to flex on my mom right now, okay?
02:25I'm not, bro.
02:26You get to the right.
02:27Nah, I already know what's about to happen, bro.
02:28You're about to strike the beat.
02:29Just be like, it's for you, Kim.
02:30And I'm going to be pissed.
02:32And then we're going to have to box.
02:33I love you, Mama Cruz.
02:34I love you.
02:34It's for Mama Cruz.
02:35Nah, you know what my mom said last week?
02:38She was like, I think you can beat everybody else except that Anthony Simon's the guy.
02:41He's so good.
02:42I'm pissed.
02:45Fresh off the grueling marathon of the World Series of Bowling,
02:49Cam and Belmo miss making the cut.
02:51But Kyle makes 15th place.
02:54EJ finishes in ninth, just short of the TV show.
02:58Simo, however, heads to the show in second place,
03:01with a great shot of winning his fourth Masters,
03:03which would tie Belmo's record for the most USB-C Masters titles.
03:10Well, that man there in the background hoist that trophy in the foreground
03:14for a record-tying fourth time.
03:17But to win that fourth Masters, now Simo has to beat this guy,
03:22Gary Haynes.
03:23Gary isn't a household name in bowling circles
03:26because this is actually his first show.
03:28Gary works full-time at a power plant on Long Island.
03:33And he has dominated this week,
03:36remaining undefeated in the double elimination tournament.
03:40And that means that even though the power plant worker is a huge underdog,
03:44because Simo has one loss,
03:46he has to beat Gary two times in a row to win.
03:57Correction, Simo has to beat him just one more time to win.
04:01One game left for the USB-C Masters Championship.
04:08Go ahead and call him how important it is.
04:14He never missed.
04:16He hasn't missed on this level.
04:18Oh, this thing is FFO.
04:21Far from over.
04:24This might be the shot of the match here.
04:29And through the face a little bit from extra work.
04:31The nerves are obviously pouring out at this point.
04:34Take a look at his wife and his father.
04:36They look nervous, too.
04:38Let's get comfortable.
04:39Yeah, I think he's trying to talk himself into it.
04:41Oh, 100%.
04:45Uh-oh.
04:46Oh, wow.
04:46Oh, that is a big mess, guys.
04:50You're panicking.
04:51Go to your wife.
04:53Give her a kiss.
04:54I don't care what you do.
04:55You've got to change something in your head.
04:58I think all the time favors Anthony Simonson here,
05:02given his experience.
05:03But he needs to strike out in the 10th frame
05:05and put all the pressure back on Gary Haynes.
05:15Out!
05:16Oh, my!
05:18Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
05:22Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
05:26Unbelievable.
05:27Four through the middle.
05:31Come here.
05:32Come here.
05:33Come here.
05:33Let's go.
05:37Can you make a 10-pin?
05:39Gary has never shot one for a major.
05:42And for $100,000.
05:43It is a long, long way away right now.
05:46Will the kiss from Lauren make the difference?
05:55With a kiss, the USBC Masters champion
05:58for his first professional title.
06:00That is great.
06:02Nothing to do with that.
06:03Are you fucking kidding me?
06:05Are you kidding me?
06:06Let's go.
06:08Let's go.
06:10Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.
06:22I'm going to apologize now, okay?
06:25Fuck!
06:26Fuck!
06:35With the season nearing its end,
06:37the standings are starting to lock in place.
06:41The next major and chance at $100,000 for a winner
06:45is the Tournament of Champions in Akron, Ohio.
06:51Good morning.
06:52I'm Phil Ferguson, WNIR News.
06:54And we've got the bowlers in town at Riviera Lanes.
07:04A couple of qualifying sessions today, 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
07:08The Tournament of Champions is by far
07:11pro bowling's most iconic tournament
07:13because it's where the PBA began.
07:15And you're only allowed to participate
07:17if you've won a PBA event before.
07:19That means Cam doesn't qualify.
07:22I don't need to be in here.
07:23I mean, I absolutely don't need to be in here.
07:25The Tournament of Champions,
07:27it's like the Super Bowl of bowling.
07:29It really is.
07:31These bowlers don't get enough credit.
07:32They're very accessible.
07:34So many of them trying to just make a living.
07:36And if making a living wasn't hard enough already
07:38for the bowlers,
07:39the tournament will also be
07:41the final major broadcast on Fox.
07:46After a seven-year partnership
07:48that included airing the PBA show,
07:51Fox Sports and the league
07:53were unable to reach terms on a new contract.
07:56If there's no TV deal, there's no season.
08:00And if there's no season,
08:01there is no prize money.
08:04In 2026, there's still some uncertainties
08:06and hopefully not much financial change
08:09of how much money is out there
08:11to be made for bowlers.
08:13Who knows?
08:14Like, obviously, that's out of the players' control.
08:16But, you know, all we can do is,
08:18when we do get to TV, entertain.
08:24Uncertainties aside for what the future
08:26might look like for the PBA,
08:29all of the bowlers have to narrow their focus
08:31to the Tournament of Champions.
08:33Good shot.
08:35Telmo.
08:36Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy.
08:38Oh, oh, oh.
08:39Mackett tries to continue the perfect start.
08:41Does so.
08:42Three straight.
08:44Simonson.
08:52Cotroop.
08:53He gets high.
08:55Good boy.
09:03I actually started off well,
09:04but, you know, after six games,
09:06we're in the same position we've been every week,
09:08out of the cut.
09:10Patience is very thin.
09:11I bowl good at the beginning.
09:12I don't bowl well at the end.
09:14When I make good shots, they split.
09:15So, not sure what ball to throw.
09:19It's just getting more and more frustrating
09:20every day, every week, out here on tour.
09:23So, if we don't make the cut,
09:26season will be over.
09:29Where's the cut?
09:33Is he already drinking?
09:34Is he already fucking drinking?
09:39I don't know.
09:41I asked you not to fucking drink while we're bowling.
09:44You can't even wait till noon?
09:46I'm going to be fucking having to walk you out again.
09:47Shove your camera up your ass.
09:49This is my fucking father I'm talking to right now,
09:51so I ain't got to fucking babysit him again.
09:53If you keep this up,
09:54you can just take your car back to North Carolina.
09:56Fucking embarrassing.
09:57It's 1130.
09:59I don't give a shit if he wants to buy you a drink.
10:02Ridiculous.
10:05I get frustrated with my dad when he's watching me,
10:07just because most of the time,
10:08he's rather just hang out in the bar.
10:12I watched five games yesterday.
10:16I wanted to see how he bowls,
10:18but I just get bored.
10:20I was bored.
10:24Wait till y'all are done with this stuff, man.
10:27You don't have to watch me fucking suck
10:29every fucking week.
10:31I'm going to fucking watch EJ win another time.
10:37So going into the Tournament of Champions,
10:40I had an opportunity to do something
10:42I believe no one's ever done before
10:44in a single season,
10:45and that's win the Triple Crown.
10:48Yes, the Triple Crown
10:50is exactly like
10:51Horse Racing's Triple Crown,
10:53just without the horses,
10:55or fancy hats,
10:56or about 95% of the total prize money.
11:00But the part about winning
11:02three different main events
11:03to get the crown,
11:04that's the same.
11:06With two majors this season under his belt,
11:09if EJ wins the Tournament of Champions,
11:11he'll make history as the first bowler ever
11:14to win a Triple Crown in a single season.
11:18Meanwhile,
11:18not qualifying means
11:20Cam's season is over,
11:22giving him time to reflect
11:23on coming up short.
11:27Oh, really?
11:29Interesting.
11:30I've never been the guy
11:31to really, like,
11:34fry out
11:35until I got out here.
11:37It was not the season
11:38I hoped it would be.
11:40Disappointed in myself.
11:42If I was bowling bad,
11:43there was no way
11:44to get myself out of it.
11:45More and more,
11:46the weeks went by.
11:46I think I was losing
11:47a little bit of confidence,
11:48but I got to go back to square one
11:50and realize why I'm here.
11:54It's very lonely out here on tour.
11:57Usually it's you and your thoughts.
12:00When you bowl bad,
12:01you're a little bitch about it.
12:02That's not true.
12:03Well, 100% you are.
12:04No, I'm not.
12:05That's the 100% truth.
12:06No, I'm not.
12:06What the fuck do I have to do
12:08to win a game?
12:08Come on, Cameron.
12:09This is why I don't win tournaments.
12:11Fucking damn it.
12:14If you only rely on
12:15how good or bad you bowl,
12:16you will drown
12:17because this game
12:18is fucking cutthroat.
12:20It's so cutthroat
12:21and it's easy
12:22to get into a bad spot mentally.
12:24Yeah.
12:25It's like that
12:25for everybody, though.
12:26It's like that for everybody.
12:29Akron, Ohio
12:30does offer Cam
12:31something different,
12:32a chance to go with Kevin
12:34to the LeBron James Museum
12:35and find a little inspiration.
12:44Being the only African-American
12:46most of the time,
12:47especially out here on tour,
12:48that was one of the reasons
12:49why I did want to become
12:50a professional,
12:51show all these African-American boys
12:53that there's another route
12:55than just basketball,
12:56baseball, football,
12:57but there's other routes
12:58and you can start
12:58making scholarship money
12:59at the age of five
13:00as a bowler.
13:01I mean,
13:02I know we did a lot
13:03off the court,
13:03but just seeing all this
13:04in like one spot
13:06just makes you realize
13:07the impact that especially
13:08you had on the city.
13:09So always look
13:10at the bigger picture.
13:11It's not just the bowling.
13:11There's more to it
13:12than the one part of the job.
13:14There's different aspects
13:15of the job.
13:16This is the bigger picture.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Keeps you around longer
13:19in your sport
13:19or your profession,
13:20whatever it is, you know.
13:21You don't want to just
13:22do your time as an athlete
13:24and then bounce out.
13:25You want to stick around
13:26to make changes
13:27when you're done competing.
13:28Yeah.
13:29I know.
13:30I like coaching.
13:32I give back
13:32to the children a lot.
13:33What do you tell yourself
13:35when you're getting down
13:37on yourself
13:37when you might not be bowling
13:40as well as you like?
13:42So what I tell myself is
13:44most people are like,
13:45like either get really angry.
13:48Hold on, hold on.
13:49Let's drop it a little bit.
13:50Boo.
13:51All right, there we go.
13:51The children,
13:52but you are a children.
13:54All right.
13:55How do you get back to,
13:56those are just your friends.
13:57Those are just your friends.
13:59I know.
14:00You got to go to,
14:00you got to go to the retirement
14:02row to see yours.
14:02Come on.
14:03Oh.
14:03Let's go.
14:06Cam isn't the only bowler
14:08lamenting a lost season.
14:10Last year's U.S. Open champ
14:12hasn't made the show
14:13in a single tournament.
14:16As we're going
14:17through qualifying,
14:18I definitely feel everything
14:19just kind of closing in
14:20on me a little bit.
14:22The pressure
14:23of making the cut
14:25to save the season.
14:27It's time to step up
14:28for once this year.
14:31Oh.
14:38Good.
14:44Should be.
14:46God damn.
14:48Feet ahead.
14:49Two-eighties
14:50the last game,
14:51which started
14:51Strike Spare Turkey.
14:53Then you never
14:54got it going again.
15:17Two-eighties
15:18the last game,
15:19season's over.
15:22It was close every week.
15:25Close, close.
15:27I don't fucking
15:27do me any good.
15:29So.
15:32Lots of disappointment.
15:34Long, negative season.
15:36Tried to fake it
15:37till I make it,
15:38but guess what?
15:39Didn't make it
15:39and now the season's over.
15:44I got to live with that.
15:47See if we're going
15:48to bounce back
15:48or just going to keep
15:49doing it.
15:59I don't think I can take
16:00too many more years of this.
16:02like...
16:10I'm going to probably
16:10go back in and sign
16:11a few autographs.
16:12I just needed a minute
16:13out here before I
16:15started talking to people.
16:27It's going to make
16:28my mom jealous.
16:32Man bun here.
16:34Yep.
16:35Awesome.
16:36Thanks so much.
16:36Can I play you
16:38in rugby?
16:38Can you shoot for a ball?
16:39Yeah, sure.
16:40Okay.
16:41Rugby.
16:42Can you shoot for a ball?
16:43That's cool.
16:44I told him all he needed
16:46just one night
16:46in here with me.
16:48After that,
16:49he won't care anything.
16:50He'll come back
16:51and I guarantee
16:52you make the TV show.
16:57Appreciate it.
16:59The final day
17:01of the Tournament
17:01of Champions is here.
17:03Belmo makes it
17:04to the top 25
17:05but ultimately
17:07finishes 23rd.
17:08God damn it.
17:12God damn it.
17:13And Simo finishes
17:14in 13th place
17:15just not quite good
17:16enough to make the show.
17:18Get the fuck
17:18out of here.
17:20EJ though
17:21is still on track
17:22to win the Triple Crown
17:23and make history.
17:25Then there's also
17:26another storyline
17:27playing out
17:28alongside the lanes
17:29with the Fox broadcast team
17:31facing the reality
17:32that this may be
17:34the last big tournament
17:35they take part in.
17:39It's another end
17:40of an era.
17:41This is the last major
17:42that'll be on Fox
17:43and it's sad
17:44to see it go.
17:46I think I started
17:47with this production team
17:48in about 2004.
17:51How long have I been
17:52in the show?
17:54For almost 22 years?
17:57I'm pretty certain
17:58that this is my 15th season
17:59and that kind of shocks me.
18:03I am genuinely sad.
18:06It's like a big family
18:08on the road
18:09and I will miss
18:10working with them.
18:12Today's going to be tough.
18:14I told myself
18:15I wouldn't cry.
18:22Heading to the TSC show
18:23we all had to have
18:24like security badges
18:26and everything
18:26I'm like damn
18:27is the president
18:28coming today?
18:29Next best thing
18:30I guess
18:30it's Ben Stiller.
18:32Big time sports
18:34draw big time
18:35sports fans
18:36so it should be
18:37no surprise
18:38to see Ben Stiller
18:39leave his courtside
18:41Nick seats
18:41at Madison Square Garden
18:42to come laneside
18:44in Akron
18:44to see if EJ
18:46can make history.
18:49After today
18:50there might not be
18:51another chance
18:53to win the Triple Crown
18:55again.
18:56Am I the one
18:58in your dream?
19:01Delivery
19:05Delivery
19:07CX
19:10Delivery
19:32Oh EJ
19:34Oh EJ
19:46This is not the
19:47tacket we've grown
19:47accustomed to seeing
19:48this season.
19:49This is a struggle.
19:57Needs five.
20:02Butcher moves on.
20:03What an adventure.
20:04Wow.
20:05It happens quickly.
20:07Just like that
20:08EJ loses his chance
20:10at the Triple Crown
20:11ultimately finishing fourth.
20:20And with the future
20:21of the PBA in doubt
20:22this might be one dream
20:24that stays out of reach.
20:33The opportunity
20:34to do something
20:35that's never been done before
20:37opportunities like that
20:40typically don't come around
20:41very often
20:42or at all.
20:44Yeah.
20:45Yeah.
20:45It sucks.
20:46Sucks for sure.
20:50And our number one seed
20:52is a 12-time champion
20:54in the PBA Tour
20:55and he's looking for
20:55his second
20:56tournament of champions title
20:57representing Sweden
20:59Jesper Spencer.
21:01To see him make the show
21:03that made the week
21:04much better for me
21:05and if I can't win
21:06that's the next person
21:07I want to win.
21:14Messenger!
21:16Get in the hole!
21:22Stenson in the ninth.
21:24One more for the win.
21:26Hey!
21:28The Iceman is back!
21:32Come on!
21:34Yes!
21:36Tour title number 13,
21:38Major number 2
21:39hugs it out.
21:46Congratulations,
21:47Jesper.
21:48It's been a long road.
21:49Look at that trophy, brother.
21:51Happy tears this time.
21:53Let's go!
21:55You know,
21:56bowling's brought me
21:56so many great things,
21:57great memories,
21:59great friends.
22:00I would have never known him
22:01if I didn't bowl.
22:01I don't know where my life
22:02would be without bowling,
22:03but I wouldn't have
22:04any of these amazing people
22:05in it, that's for sure.
22:12The end of the tournament
22:13of champions
22:14feels a little different
22:15this year.
22:17Uncertain.
22:19Though if you're looking
22:20for a silver lining,
22:21you might find it
22:22in the notion
22:22that bowlers
22:23are a particularly
22:24resilient breed of athlete.
22:27They aren't prone
22:28to giving up,
22:30despite how bad
22:31the odds
22:31or the pay
22:32might be.
22:45I was kind of born
22:46into bowling.
22:47I'm 41,
22:48and I started
22:49when I was 18 months
22:50bowling by myself.
22:52I think I just like
22:53the idea of throwing
22:54something down the lane,
22:55watching it,
22:55and then having it
22:56come back to you
22:57and just doing that
22:58over and over,
22:58and I fell in love with it,
22:59and I can't imagine
23:01my life now without it.
23:03For the title.
23:04Got it!
23:07You are one of the best
23:08I've ever seen, man.
23:10For one more try.
23:13So bowling,
23:14it's not going to be easy.
23:15You actually have to work
23:16for everything
23:17that you're going to get
23:18trying to achieve
23:19that perfect week,
23:21which we know
23:22will never happen.
23:24This one's for the title.
23:26He got it!
23:38This year,
23:38I wasn't even about
23:39the money.
23:40Like, I love winning.
23:41I just want to feel
23:42that thrill that
23:43all that hard work
23:44paid off.
23:45I hate losing.
23:47So I probably picked
23:47the wrong sport,
23:49but...
23:50It's a rising tide
23:53Like an hourglass
23:57running out of time
24:00Everybody's parents
24:01wants their kid
24:02to be successful
24:02in whatever walk
24:03of life it is.
24:04You know,
24:04even if we were
24:05struggling financially,
24:06my parents always
24:07did whatever
24:07they needed to do
24:08so I could at least bowl.
24:10So it's easy
24:11to take a look back
24:12to where you are frustrated
24:13and really appreciate
24:15what I have
24:16because of the sport of bowling.
24:18He's got it!
24:19Look at everybody!
24:20Simon's out!
24:21Look at him!
24:22Simon's out!
24:22Look at him!
24:28I love bowling.
24:29Loved it down to the core.
24:31I remember when
24:32I went from kind of
24:33doing bowling for fun
24:34to, you know,
24:35I want to become
24:35a professional at this.
24:37It's very exciting.
24:38You know,
24:38we get to travel
24:39to all these different cities.
24:40You know,
24:41we're bowling
24:41in all the different bowling alleys,
24:42going to places
24:43that we've been to
24:44in previous years,
24:45getting to see all the fans
24:46and, you know,
24:47friends that I made
24:48at those stops
24:49and that experience
24:50and that journey
24:51has kind of built me
24:52into the bowler I am today.
24:54So these are just
24:55trading cards I make.
24:57I give one to a player
24:59and then have them sign one
25:00and then there's a poem
25:01on the back of all of them
25:02that's the same on all of them.
25:04Bowling is a sport
25:05enjoyed by many,
25:06but being the best
25:07is a rare penny.
25:08So let us celebrate
25:09the bowlers who dare
25:10to aim for the top
25:12with precision and care.
25:14Their dedication and skill
25:16a marvel to behold
25:18and the best in the world
25:19is a very niche thing,
25:20a story to be told.
25:22Get that trophy, Kyle!
25:25Oh!
25:26He's in the rebound.
25:30Kyle, Cam, Belmo, EJ, and Simo
25:34are just five
25:35of the 100-plus
25:36professional bowlers
25:37dedicating their lives
25:38to this sport.
25:45And whether they win
25:46hundreds of thousands
25:47of dollars
25:48or just enough
25:49to pay for the travel
25:50and lodging,
25:51they're all in it together,
25:53playing a sport
25:54they grew up loving.
25:56Not merely for the pins,
25:58but for the people.
25:59Good start, everybody.
26:00We're off to a flyer.
26:10The journey down the lanes
26:12of life for a pro bowler
26:13might be about
26:14making a living,
26:15but it's also just about
26:17living,
26:19celebrating the wins
26:21and pushing through
26:22the setbacks.
26:23We did it!
26:25Knowing tomorrow
26:25is just another re-rag.
26:27Here we go!
26:30Another chance to strike
26:31and show the world
26:33you've got the balls
26:34for success.
26:36One more time
26:37to get there
26:39You don't wanna get there
26:42A strike!
26:54Rolling down the alley
26:56with pretty, playful Sally
26:58Rolling down the alley
27:01bowling Sally and me
27:03We pretend that every pin
27:06is someone we dislike
27:08We aim right at the knucklehead
27:11and come up with a lucky strike
27:13Rolling down the alley
27:17My sound
27:19The sound
27:20McKinsey
27:20I am
27:20It's just a kick
27:20I am
27:20I am
27:20I
27:20I am
27:20I am
27:21I am
27:21I am
27:22I am
27:23I am
27:30I am
27:30You
