There really is no better personality in the game than Mr. Trevino. Thanks fellas…so much ❤️
Lee Trevino is one of the greatest men to ever live
I could happily listen to Lee Trevino talk golf all day, every day. The man is an international treasure. For my money, the two most interesting players in the past 50 years are Lee Trevino and Seve Ballesteros.
U could listen to him talk all day, and lee could talk all day😂😂😂. For my money, I have lee top ten all time. He had a great record in golfs golden era
Lee is the best. I love how every answer to a question starts with one story then ends with another one. LMAO
Lee Buck, the gift that keeps on giving. God bless you sir, stay well.
My God - 84 with the mental energy of a wild colt stallion. Unquestionably the most entertaining and loved personality in the history of the game. Huge long-time loving admiration for you Lee - the world's greatest golfing God!!
Agree with previous comment on the need for a Hollywood movie about this American golfing legend. Needs to be done pronto so Lee can enjoy it with all his loving fans!
We’d never know but it could be that Hollywood pseuds have already turned down the Lee story because it is unbelievable.
LeeBuck, you are the best. I love hearing you talk about moving through the ball. Have a great PNC with your son!
Unbelievably youthful 84 year old. Great memories and wonderful stories. A joy to listen too.
You finally got one of the greatest golfers ever on your show, good job Colt and Andrew. Thank you. Now, only three golfers left, Jack Nicklaus, Gary player and Tiger woods.
Don't forget Frank Beard and DeWitt Weaver. And Rex Caldwell.
@@quantumpotential7639 Frank Beard is a drummer for ZZ Top. Dewitt Weaver has never won a major championship and Rex Caldwell has also never won a major championship. Please stop pretending that you know golf, I know all the major champions and the people you mentioned are not even in the top 1,000 of golfers. Unless it’s Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player or Tom Watson, then don’t comment because you’re wasting your time.
Get Mac
What a wonderful interview, it is so great that generations to come can listen to one of the greatest shot makers of all time and hopefully soak up his knowledge. Thank you so much guys, it is inspirational for young players. Thank You Mr Trevino, thank you also for talking about TonyJacklin in such glowing terms. SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A FEATURE FILM OF HIS LIFE.
the most amazing thing about Lee is that even though he is now 84 years old there is still and energy in him. he hasnt become frail neither physically nor mentally. im sure he has aches and pains yet his body and mind are still very active. God bless you Mr. Trevino!
I was working the shop at PT the day he brought Kuchar out. I thought to myself...Kuchar gonna be absolute amazing with a wedge now.
I love listening to Mr Trevino. So many great stories.
Love that guy, enjoyed all the years he gave us on tour. What a fantastic man.
Damn he's 84? He and Gary Player must have a common ancestor.
Hey Colt, I enjoyed your on course work for a short time, until Jay thought he was bigger than Phil and poked the bear. Was tuned in to GC nightly and watched Tour for 30 years until Monahan decided to suspend arguably the 2nd highest revenue and ratings generator golf has ever known.
Phil fans are still around and dwarf the following of Rory, Jordan, JT and todays top 10 combined.
Mr Trevino is a badass. Loved the interview, shows you guys respect the man tremendously
One of the greatest personalities. I miss watching him in the old Skins games on tv. Would’ve loved to have heard his story on getting Tony Finau the backing from Callaway.
I've heard most of those stories from Lee before, being a fan and all. But every single time he retells them, I feel like Lenny from Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men....tell me again Lee...about the rabbits, and the golf courses and the gambling. A legend.
Any other 6 time major champion get less respect when compared with his peers? Lee was a wonderful character and great for golf. Saw him give a clinic with Chi Chi and Lee was the serious one.
Great show fellas, indeed a national treasure! Lee Trevino is freaking awesome, always loved the dude. He seems at peace with the world of golf, even with all the crazy stuff happening, that's refreshing. Don't mess with the game,and don't mess with Lee.
Go LIV. I'm a huge supporter of anything new in golf. The PGA Tour, and its players are boring as hell to watch. I grew up watching Lee and Chi Chi. Time to bring some fun and emotion into the game. That's the real reason no one watches golf on TV, and no one is talking about the lack of entertainment.
Great interview lee the best personality
Who's the GOAT interview on Subpar: Mr. Trevino. Thanks guys, you knocked it out of the park.
i can name a thousand up and coming golfers who fell of the face of the earth never to be heard of again to say someone is the next superstar is like saying that tiger was the normal
I will bet that Ludwig doesn't win 2 majors.
Lee is my sisters next door neighbor! He is the nicest man, and he always is willing to give me pointers on my game
Colt is just mad he ate his way off the tour 😂
Lee - The Albert Einstein of golf
He needs his own Podcast. I desperately want to learn from everything he says about golf
Honestly the PGA tour wasn't broken. It's simply that someone showed up with not one, but two dump trucks full of money. It reminds me of when in the late 80s early 90s government subsidized steel companies dumped their product into the markets at a price less than the cost of production. The existing market based manufacturers had no chance.
I've been fortunate enough be in the gallery following Lee Trevino many times. I've been going to tournaments for 50 years; usually picking a player and following them for all 18 holes and he's been my favorite.
Yeah!!!! Your subpar podcast show just shot up 1000 rating....cos the legend has so many interesting things to say...and like Jack...people listen. Well done...your best show ever guys and tour questions were awesome
Trevino, my favorite of all time !
You hear all this grow the game stuff and now we are rolling the ball back, make it fly shorter. Makes no sense. I don’t care if some courses an obsolete, let’s find new ones. Remember how much the fans liked what Bryson did at bay hill?
I understand the miney, but to me it's a matter of making a bunch of millions on the PGA Tour and a truckload of millions on the LIV. What the LIV player is forfeiting is competition at the highest level. Ask an MLB player if he'd take a half billion dollars to compete in Asia and I doubt he'd take the half billion and run. So, if a golfer is struggling or is late into his career on the PGA Tour take the money, just as Mickelson did, but I don't understand Rahm's decision. He would have made millions and garnered esteem in the PGA, but he's just another guy on the LIV Tour with no TV exposure of note.
Thank you for this outstanding interview. Lee Trevino is an American treasure.
Even at 84, a guy like Lee Trevino…an All-Timer…ball-striker extraordinaire…took a lesson. Still grinding. God, I love this game. Love Lee. Love the interview
I have 5 pictures on my wall...two of my wife, THREE of Lee Buck! Love what golfers used to be!!!
-25 is ridiculous.
I much prefer seeing a winner -6 than -20. Rough should be a penalty like the US Open. You land in the rough, you should have to punch out, not hit the green.
Tour sponsors are business entities. The PIF is like a foundation for elite golfers. None of the players signed by the Saudis "deserve" that amount of money. They are all soon somewhat forgotten in the US. They lose the week to week exposure of the Tour. Cam ... Smith. Brooks won which major? Sure they're happy with the money.
Guys there is a book called Snakes In The Grass And Other Lies on Trvinos gambling forays back in Texas. Amazing book
Twice Lee said 64 when he meant 84. Once talking about Jack, then once talking about himself. That was interesting.
What Lee is telling is the story of what it means to be a United States American. Rags to riches and never quit-and laugh whether up or down cause in comparison and retrospect-it’s all good. Thank you Lee!
If they roll the ball back then they need to have different COR measurment for different swing speeds. Let's equalize the whole deal.
I also played Tennison as a young novice and I too was able to shoot 64 or 65 on the East course, on the front 9. And I could go as low as 60 sometimes, on the back 9. I preferred the West course since it didn't eat as many balls as the East side. LOL.
My first comment on the show and I've seen everyone of them This was incredible also received my gear from you guys hats shirts hoodies keep it up boys big fan Thanks Bob
Great podcast boys! Good questions and of course Lee makes every interview great as well so you guys were smart to let him do all the talking 😆👍 Trevino should get a spot at least every month on someone’s show, or do his own pod once a month or something. Soooo much golfing wisdom and common sense 🙏
what a storyteller
Amazing interview. And holy cow, Mr. Trevino is as sharp as anyone at any age. A true inspiration.
Rahm is full of crap with his excuses for joining liv, his principles were bought just like the rest on liv! John you might not think so but you players on liv represent all the values of this money were it is coming from!
The PGA tour may have already devolved into a negotiation play. Remaining players compete for (and to) increase in their hand in negotiations.
Lee thanks for the memory always love watching your game.
When I see 15-yr-old kids hitting Driver then 8i into par 5's it makes me think of Fonzie and a shark.
Records aside, Lee is the Goat. He is the 4th to the "Big Three"! His influence on the game is unmatched.
I took four lessons with LT and he told me the exact opposite swing info, in terms of what he tried to accomplish;)
good listen. my favorite quote is the if you're in a storm on a course, just hold up your 1 iron. Not even God can hit a 1 iron.
Do the LIV players get that money up front? or how do the payments work?
I thought everyone knew Jack faded the ball :)
Fred Hawkins had a real good swing, he could play.
Jay away counting his money and laughing at everyone
LEE IS RIGHT!!!...JACK IS THE G.O.A.T.!!!!
What a LEGEND Lee is.
You both start out your show with good intentions then you lose me Every time with the ads… Sorry last time 🇨🇦🥃 LIV will start their own Majors with insane purses with invites to PGA tour players… Let’s see who accepts…
15:07 ends our relationship… Sorry about how this sounds…but… A fat guy in a powder blue suit trying to sell Tequila in the middle of a golf debate… No Thanks
Is the Tour going to be the minor league for LIV? Can LIV develop individual golfers or just teams? Will the Tour build players and then get them bought off by LIV?
I didn't realize he was still able to play anymore.....too bad they didn't ask him about Billy Casper back in '69 (Lee predicted Casper would win the Masters in 1970 and that was the real reason he didn't want to come back)
Sleaze looks like Chuck Norris on crack.
What does Lee mean that he's a holder? No release?
You hit it on the head….FANS ARE THE ONES GETTING SCREWED….i know I’ve lost interest in watching pro golf….
Yup, but we were getting screwed by the pga tour with their stale format. I want it to get to the point where we get great events worldwide and keep the marquis events in America.
I think it will take about 5
Years
Yeah I feel you. I've been playing and watching golf since 1972. I don't watch pro golf any longer except maybe some of the majors. Those guys are all mostly clones of each other like they've been stamped out of a machine. It's very bland and very stale. Even the commentating is less analytical and less technical and more captain obvious. I miss the old days when pro players had unique and interesting personalities. There are no Lee Trevinos anymore. I can't think of one single player right now on any tour that has that electric connection with the galleries like so many of the personalities from back in the day.
Boys! I haven't missed an episode since the creation of this monster. Y'all seem to be "under the weather" a lot. I challenge y'all to drink more water and less poison! Take care of yourselves, love the show 👍👊
You have a chance to interview Trevino, how is there not some 2 hr segment on Trevino talking about Hogan and his time spent along with the stories he heard? Hogan liked Lee, he called him the little Mexican. Trevino has said that Hogan was the greatest striker of the ball, and Lee is in the mix. Huge miss
Could listen to this guy talk golf all day
"I had so much cotton in my mouth I could have knitted a sweater..." I died laughing at that. What a sense of humor Lee has, bless is heart!
God Bless Lee Trevino…
Watching Lee play in Pro-Celebrity Golf on the BBC got me into golf.
Wonderful!
Lee starts at 18:20
These two should get out on the course and golf vlog their discussions and interviews. Maybe easier said than done.
Colt with the Bel Air hat!
Thank you
Tony has a lot kids to feed . He might want rethink that decision.
i admire lee for saying he talks to much and he does not listen to others but he is trying to get better and admits that is a fault of his. i admire that in u lee
BOOM! Cheers Amigos!
Good thing I happened to be the car today to hear this was out there
Lee just can't wait until it's his turn to talk again.
92 wins that isn’t true?
Greatest show ever ❤ Lee Buc
Tiger is coming to Liv
God bless you Lee.
Done. Not watching. Easy. Screw Rahm. Worse.
Legend!
Legend!
What a guy!
Someone needs to tell everyone at LIV that zero people care about team golf. I mean, that will ruin the sport. Nobody cares. Golf is an individual game, and if the Ryder Cup went away tomorrow, zero people would care, so how can anyone on the planet expect people to care about LIV team golf. It is a joke.
Is baseball going backward with wooden bats? No they have a field of a certain size and can compare players and don't have to build larger stadiums. At some point, St. Andrews will be too small. Why call a hole a par 5? It's now a par 4. Some par 4's are now really 3's. None of the courses being played are really played as designed. It's not the same game. It's the long drive competition. The courses are all too short. It's -20 in every tournament. It was more fun when Lee played. Thanks. A great interview. We love Lee Trevino!
