That’s why he was thrilled to participate within the PGA Tour 2K21 industrial, and ComicBook.com had the possibility to speak to Miz all about his love for the sport, his favourite options of the game, and that problem from Justin Thomas.
By the best way, after we say Miz is an enormous fan of the sport, we aren’t kidding, and it is one thing he’s being attentive to just about always.
“I stay golf. I stay, breathe, and speak … Like, actually, I sit there on my Instagram and most of the people are trying out various things with WWE or baseball, basketball. All I do is watch PGA and golf tips about issues I do,” Miz stated. “Literally, I simply watched Justin Thomas putt, and I sat there for, I might say, at the least 10 minutes watching the identical video clip again and again. He had some string and he could be like, ‘All proper. This helps me get my line collectively proper so I can hit it, and he was simply nailing it in, and I used to be like, ‘Man, I’m going to strive that.’ So, I attempted it that day and I went out and solely three-putted as soon as. I used to be like, ‘Wow, it truly works if I actually hone in.’ But then I went out and I three-putted three holes and ruined my total rating, so all of it will depend on focus.”
Miz had the possibility to be part of the PGA Tour 2K21 industrial that includes Thomas, SchoolBoyQ, and Chris McDonald, who performed the villainous Shooter McGavin within the basic Happy Gilmore, and it was a surreal and superior expertise.
“Dude, I used to be ecstatic,” Miz stated. “When PGA Tour 2K21 got here as much as me and stated, ‘Hey, we wish to use you for our promotion for this video game,’ and I went, ‘Are you kidding?’ No, I knew I had labored beforehand with 2K, with WWE, and I do know that they know that I like golf, however you by no means assume these sorts of relationships will ever pan out to something extra. You do not even anticipate it. You’re simply form of going alongside and abruptly, they name up and say, ‘Hey, would you love to do a industrial with Shooter McGavin?’ I went, ‘Wait, what?

“And not solely that, however they created a personality of me,” Miz stated. “When individuals get it they will have the ability to create me, or them, or whoever they need as a golfer. That is cool to me. Being capable of create your individual golf course, that is cool to me. Being capable of play on the Waste Management Open the place I used to be truly on the 16th gap being the loudmouth, beer-chugging man within the Phoenix Open. That’s superior to me.”
The cherry on prime was attending to interview Thomas and simply speak Golf, and Miz took benefit of the chance. “I acquired an interview with Justin Thomas, so I acquired to sit down there and speak store, and even after we weren’t asking questions on-air, I might ask him… I actually confirmed him my swing,” Miz stated.
“We have been on a Zoom name, proper? We have been on a video chat, and I used to be like, ‘Dude, are you able to inform me what I’m doing fallacious with my swing?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, certain. No drawback.’ So, actually, I confirmed it to him and he educated me on my swing, and simply by exhibiting him a video by Zoom, he may inform what I used to be doing fallacious with my swing,” Miz stated. “I used to be like, ‘This is wonderful. I’ve the primary golfer on the planet telling me how you can be higher at golf.’
Miz additionally challenged Thomas to a game, and even with a 30 stroke lead, Thomas nonetheless stated he may take down Miz.
“Not solely that however within the interview, I truly challenged him to a game,” Miz stated. “I am going, ‘I feel I can beat you.”‘ He goes, ‘You cannot beat me.’ I am going, ‘With 30 strokes I can.’ He goes, ‘No you’ll be able to’t.’ I am going, ’30 strokes? Justin. 30 strokes, 18 holes? 30 strokes? You assume you’ll be able to beat me? 30? Like, 30 strokes!’ And he goes, ‘There is little doubt in my thoughts I can beat you supplying you with 30 strokes.'”
“Ask the followers on the market,” Miz stated. “Ask everybody. There is not any means, no means, Justin Thomas, the primary golfer on the planet, giving me 30 strokes, actually, I used to be like, ‘Dude, I’ll in all probability beat you by 5. It will not even be shut.’ He’s like, ‘You is not going to even, actually, I will not simply beat you, I’ll beat you, like beat-beat you.’ He was assured. I assumed Justin was a bit, not soft-spoken, however informal, cool, however man, he was so assured in what he was saying. Maybe that is the rationale he is primary on the planet. Maybe that is why. I do not know, however I’m prepared. I’m ready. I’ve challenged him. He accepted the problem. Now, 2K must make that occur. We’ll do it for charity.”
So, the game would not have customizable Caddies, if it did we needed to advocate Marjo, since she has proven a love for golf carts prior to now on Miz and Mrs. Granted, most frequently it is both getting caught in them or breaking them, however hey, it is a ability nonetheless.
“Oh, my God. It’ll be anyone however Marjo. Marjo could be speaking throughout my backswing,” Miz stated. “We even have an episode the place I’m attempting to get into this nation membership that’s exterior my door. I needed to become involved with it. I needed to be in a rustic membership. Imagine this. Imagine your view is only a golf course, and you may’t play on it since you’re not a member of the nation membership. Like, I stay on it, and I might inform Maryse ‘How can I stay on this place and never be a member?’ And she’s like, ‘I’m not being a member of a rustic membership.’ And so, it is a complete episode, belief me, on Miz & Mrs, but when I’m having a caddie, I’m not having any a part of my household, any members of the family as my caddie as a result of they may all speak behind my backswing and they’ll all annoy me and make me not focus.”
He wasn’t kidding both, giving some examples. “Like, my dad is so aggressive that he’ll inform me every part that I’m doing fallacious. Maryse will actually be on her cellphone your complete time, calling her pals and speaking, laughing, whereas I’m in my backswing,” Miz stated. “Marjo will simply be annoying me. My mother shall be cleansing my golf equipment, which is nice, however after they’re already clear, they do not have to be cleaned anymore however my mother loves to wash.
So, ostensibly, no household as my caddie. You know what? Maybe Madison as a result of Madison would not speak. I can simply have her in a cart. I’ll make a state-of-the-art cart that may simply put her in there, and let’s go.”
The excellent news is that he would not have to fret concerning the household distracting him in PGA Tour 2K21, and he is having a ball with all of the choices it presents.
“I can create the Miz. I can create golf course. I get pleasure from making a inexperienced, making a fairway, creating a complete gap that’s simply me,” Miz stated. “I like with the ability to beat up on Justin Thomas as myself, and I do not care in the event that they make him as onerous to beat as Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out. I’ll nonetheless beat Justin Thomas within the video game and in actual life. So, I get pleasure from that. Now, Justin Thomas may be very, very, excellent within the video game, so he is very troublesome to beat. But man, I’ll let you know what, this gameplay is a lot enjoyable and I feel individuals are actually going to get pleasure from it.”
