You weren’t trying to be ovbbious you were lying
I’ve been truthful plenty of times about my relative real age and what I do for a living. I’m very clearly not 24. If you don’t pay attention that’s not my fault.
You got guys like the bullshite 65 year old pilot saying he can hit a golf ball over 300 yards in the air and being serious about it and you want to melt over a very obviously facetious statement I made? That’s up to you, but you’re losing your mind over the wrong shite if you’re truly that passionate about people telling the truth… on the fricking internet

I think Scottie was trying to make a good/better point but did a poor job communicating it. Came off a bit spoiled and ungrateful to have a life 99.9999% percent of people would love to have.

He said multiple times how blessed he was to be able to provide for his family by being able to play a game he loves
I get why athletes don’t want to ever speak to the media. It’s wild what people can twist what they say
I mean you miss this part?

I figured he was implying something towards Christianity/faith but didn’t quite go there.

He also said he thinks about a win for 5 minutes and then it’s over. Well, yeah, he wins all the fricking time. I bet Stephen Yeager, or Jim Herman appreciate a win a little more than he does because they grinded for years to make that happen.
I don’t really care either way, it’s not that big of deal, it’s just a little out of touch, even for the average professional golfer.
It’s like DJ saying the most important thing to do when hitting a fade is to make it fade. Well yeah dude, but you’re one of the most gifted golfers in the world, it’s a little harder than that for most people.

Is it Scottie’s job to speak for Stephen jeager?

No, as I said, it just comes off as a little out of touch
Winning is a lot more meaningful when you don’t ever to do. I get how he’s become a little desensitized to it, but that doesn’t make him right.

So, then what is he talking about with all the other stuff? That sounds pretty fulfilling.
I had the same thoughts as Jim, I think he wanted to make a point about his faith but stopped short for whatever reason which is why it didn't come across well for some.

He is 100% right for how it makes him feel. Thats all he is speaking to. His internal dialogue and battle
Be literally poured his guts out on an interview table. We almost never see that with athletes. Especially a tournament week

Which makes him appear a bit out of touch.
I don’t think any less of the guy. But I bet he enjoyed his first win of earning his Tour card a little more than 5 minutes before thinking what was for dinner.
He’s more than entitled to feel that way. And everyone else is more than entitled to think that it’s not how most people feel when they win, especially in a sport like golf where it rarely, if ever, happens for some really good players
Posted on 7/16/25 at 2:17 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
I don’t understand in any world how that’s entitled. He is talking about how he doesn’t get fulfilled like he thought he would, how he would want to be
Entitlement is thinking your owed something without putting in the work. Nothing Scottie said to me is him thinking he is owed anything in life . It literally was the opposite of entitlement. It’s speaking of the human element and emptiness we get and the internal drive for “more”. The opposite side of the planet from entitlement syndrome

I have no idea how you can get spoiled or entitled or ungrateful from that interview. He couldn’t have made it more clear how happy he is to be able to live the life he does. He straight up said he was grateful for it

He doesn’t appreciate his wins, because he wins all the time. He earned that and it’s fine, but he’s pretty much the only guy on the planet that can feel that way.
It’s not that big of a deal either way. But it gives you an opportunity to be aggrieved about something, I guess

I said it, and the snippet I saw did not include all the stuff you added. So yes in that context I guess saying spoiled or entitled isn't appropriate but it still makes the overall interview a bit disjointed.
It seems weird to talk about how you are so grateful for something and that it brings tears to your eyes to be able to do it and then immediately call it unfulfilling.

This is pretty much the crux of it. And for 95% of other professional golfers is incredibly fulfilling, both things can be true and that’s ok

I think that’s the beauty of the interview
For people with years in their life(I consider myself there at almost 40) you start to realize the wins don’t matter, because the next hurdle is always here. That job promotion, that raise, the next house you will buy, we all put it on this pedestal then it’s there and you are just on to the next step. It doesn’t mean you are out of touch, we realize those that are less fortunate but our human element has us wanting more
We all feel it. It drives some mad and depressed, those that find happiness are those that revel in the life outside of it (the work put it in, the providing for the family) etc
We just don’t ever see athletes really talk about it or be open to admitting it like he did
And I’m caught off guard by your comments a bit because it is getting praise almost unanimously elsewhere.

It’s almost like that’s your opinion yet you think everyone who doesn’t share the same one is wrong

Most athletes in golf specifically rarely ever win so it’s incredibly fulfilling when they do. Not that complicated.
I understand why he feels that way. He’s the only golfer currently on planet earth with that privilege

This is your new trope that’s verifiably false pretty much every time you say it

And the poster already admitted he only read one snippet and after reading the entire interview he was 100% wrong for saying it sounded ungrateful or spoiled
So now you are arguing, nothing?
