“DJ was about a hundred percent the reason that I have this deal. Anyway, he wanted to be part of it. I’ve been on Tour 21 years and you know I’ve got three wins, I’ve made 335 cuts, but DJ wanted me on his team and you know, you have the opportunity to follow a world-class player like that, you know, with two majors and a FedExCup, 24 wins and former number one for, you know, a really long time.

“You know, it’s really an honor to be by his side and to be on his team. And, you know, I’ve got more motivation now for whatever reason. I’m just so excited to have this kind of this, you know, next chapter my life, like I said up and grind it out of the PGA Tour for 21 years, you know, it’s been, it’s been a fun run on the PGA Tour — great people there and everything.

“I’m just excited to, you know, kind of slow it down a little bit. I’ve got two young kids. Instead of being on the road for 33, you know, 35 weeks a year. I’m gonna be home 38 weeks here. Now, you know, my daughter is, growing up fast, my son’s about to start walking.

“And the fact that, you know, I’m 46, I get to kind of have this, you know, rebirth and you know, and be home now more with my family and raise my kids and kind of enjoy my second half, while still playing some golf.

“I’m really excited about the team aspect like I said, and, you know, I think it’s gonna be phenomenal. I just can’t wait to get started.”
