Q. This year on LIV Golf you've had a first, third and a fourth. How do you kind of sum up the season so far?
TALOR GOOCH: Yeah, it was, you know, it was a good season. Obviously, anytime you can win on on live and win anywhere, it's hard to win in golf, and so it was great to get a win. And we had a couple other chances. We didn't, you know, get it done. But, you know, the game is was trending towards the end of the season. And you know, hopefully we can, you know, cap the year off with, with a great week this week.
Q. You were at the Link Hong Kong Open the other week. Just wondered how you found that experience on The International Series?
TALOR GOOCH: Yeah, yeah. I mean, the International Series is great, you know, it's great to see, you know, a bunch of the players, but also great to see you know, a bunch of, you know, guys that aren't on live, that are trying to get, get to live, right? And so you can kind of see the, you know, the pressure that is each week for especially for those guys trying to make it, you know, into those top positions, to get to live so it's great to see and to see some of the young talent, and, you know, again, to see these, these guys from all over the world, you know, playing the national series. So, yeah, it's great.
Q. We've got the likes of Ollie Schneiderjans in the mix at the moment on the International Series Rankings. I just wonder what your thoughts are on The International Series as a viable option for, say, American golfers from the collegiate system.
TALOR GOOCH: Yeah. I mean, like said, seeing, seeing what all he's done, it just proves, you know that it's, it's a great, it's a great route, you know. And so, obviously, there's so much you know going on in the golf world right now that, you know, I'm hopeful that, you know, as there's a, you know, the promotions event in Florida, you know, you just, you gotta think that there's gonna be, you know, more and more American players kind of see that, you know what, this is a great, a great tour. There's a bunch of great golf courses, you know, there's now more, you know, access into majors, and, yeah, things of that nature. So, yeah, I think vision tours on a great trajectory, and it's gonna continue to pull more and more players from all around the world.
And going back a few years, would you consider this as an option if you were kind of in that kind of up and coming?
I mean, not -- not years ago, but now, yeah, you know, it's totally different now than it was when I turned pro. So yeah, Harold and I were talking about that. We were paired together in Hong Kong a few weeks back in the first two rounds, and we were talking about that, you know, when we first came out, this wasn't really thought of, yeah, as something that we would have done if we, you know, we're in college, turn pro. But now that this change, this is definitely something you have to consider.
Thank you
