According to Kelly. Mark’s new obsession is golf. Mark then thanked Kelly for allowing him to watch “16 hours” of the 2025 Masters Tournament over the last weekend.  “I’m officially hooked on golf. I watched the Masters,” Mark said. “Kelly, thank you for letting me, not letting me, but not having a problem with me watching 16 hours of golf over four days.”

Mark then began to show his obsession as he talked about Rory McIlroy winning the Masters. This made Kelly laugh as she poked fun at Mark.

“I feel in this moment probably about how you feel when I talk about anything else,” Kelly said to Mark. “Cause I heard ‘caddy’ and ‘icing him out’ and everything else, I have no idea what was just said. It was sort of like a haze. I went into a little haze.”
