I’m not going to lie I did not watch this whole video. But thankfully, I am only going to talk about the beginning which was absolutely golden.
We got to see Phil in his element. Bryson hadn’t been thinking about how they were going to bet on this nine hole match, but Phil had him covered. It definitely seemed like it was not Phil’s first time having this conversation. He rattled off multiple different ways they were gonna gamble on the 9 holes in seconds. He threw in doubles, presses, and turned this nine hole $1000 match into playing for more than twice that money. He is truly a business man. We got to witness Phil in degenerate mode and it was awesome.
Apparently, he has gambled close to a billion dollars in his life. I completely believe it. I think it’s so fucking cool. If he actually did try to gamble on a Ryder Cup that he was playing in, then that makes me like him a lot more. I think if it was advertised that he was playing for a large amount of money per hole in a Ryder Cup, a lot of America would be fired up and watch all 18 holes. When Phil said this is the most he will gamble on a golf course, he should have just stopped talking. That was a huge, massive lie that he so easily could’ve not thrown in there. I think he should own the fact that he got paid a shit ton of money by the Saudis and let everyone know exactly how much he has gambled and plans to gamble away. At least he is giving it to people on a golf course rather than these massive gambling companies. Only cash Phil said. He keeps everything off the books. You have to admit. This guy is incredibly good at the things he does.
The video isn’t the best watch. I’m biased and have a hard time enjoying anything LIV related. Phil talks a lot of shit. The quality of golf is obviously really good. Phil being a degenerate on camera is the best part. The video already has a million views in 2 days. They are going to make more of these. And I will be looking forward to watching the first 3 minutes of each for a laugh and to remind myself to never get that addicted to gambling.
