My memory of Scottie this year… making birdie on his first hole after being in jail. 🙌
Eagle
One of us
@@maxgulemi997 The eagle was in the first round, before he had a record :)
Rory gets such abuse for not living up to tigers standards. Facts are, he isn’t tiger and isn’t the best golfer in the world currently. He’s still incredibly good and top 5 consistently. Tremendous player.
I think he gets crap for not living up to his OWN standards, that he set early on. He doesn't close tournaments all that often, and I felt that way BEFORE his missed putt at that tournament weeks back.
Disagree. The media set his standards. He just won when he was young. He has high expectations of himself but he comes second and people say he’s ‘choked’…tiger didn’t win everything in his prime.
If you look into it not many ‘close’ tournaments from being in front.
Well said. By all accounts he's a very decent guy, works hard and is well liked on tour. Perhaos he wears his heart on his sleeve and is too honest at times, which leaves him open to abuse that he doesn't deserve. But better to have those qualities than the opposite. Pity the haters can't think of something more positive to do with their time!
Rory is the only one responsible for his hate. Guy has become so unlikeable over the past couple years
Rory needs a new caddie.
you dont know what you are talking about
He 100% needs a new caddie
Yet the more obvious it becomes, the more he will stubbornly dig his heels in.
@@MarkTill-vt3ku you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s no secret that his caddie is just his friend that offers very little as an actual caddie. He’s there to carry the bag and he a mate. He needs an elite caddie. Someone that can save him from himself and give him some guidance on reading greens. A good caddie would’ve made sure he started that putt in the us open outside the cup. But he didn’t. And he lost a major because of it.
@@MarkTill-vt3kuStevie Williams doesn't know what he's talking about he's hopeless compared to Harry. Stevie would never be able to come up with the idea of a drop at qual hollow even though chipping over the burn was very easy what a genius
Rory fell victim to the same thing many high ranking players fall victim to. Making changes when you're at the top. Spieth is another great example.
Harrington after he went on that Major run done it & all it ended up being was self sabotage. He was nowhere from then on.
Really enjoy Sophie’s take. Very knowledgeable indeed. More from Sophie on the channel!
Sophie is so easy to listen to … an ex tour pro with insight, knowledge and experience 👍👍
Going through a divorce and marital issues while being a outstanding professional golfer and a professional person at that I would imagine inside of Rory he is struggling and this is reflecting on his golf game
Rory’s problems are strictly between the ears. He needs some help with stuff like breathing and thinking more positive stuff.
Absolutely agree with this.
His caddie does not help him enough when he gets in strife. He is his mate and doesn’t recorrect him enough, really should get a better caddies like Bones
He got involved in politics of golf and used as a scapegoat
He couldn't keep his mouth shut. People are sick of him nowadays, well more than before anyway.
He needed to mind his own business and worry about his own game and his own bank accounts. But he became obsessed with other people's money.
That was more recent. But he’s also changed his tune on that a lot now. He took a stance. It didn’t go great. He learned a lesson and moved on. We all make mistakes. I was very much anti Rory after that. But he took his medicine. We all make mistakes. I’m team Rory now. Too many perfect people out here hating on everyone for every mistake they make. Let it go
Scotty is just Mr. reliable. His driving his great and his approach game is out of this world. Sure he loses some strokes on his putting but they are usually birdie putts not par putts
Scottie is a scrambler like Tiger. And just like with Tiger, nobody notices it.
@@vanbalzup6481 SCOTTY ISNT A PATCH ON THE PUTTER TIGER WAS WEEK IN WEEK OUT, SCOTTY PUTTING AT THE OPEN WAS PATHETIC!
Hes the best chipper I have seen since tiger.
Rory is quite an average putter, especially compared to other areas of his game. Scheffler gets away with it as he hits it closer to the hole.
He's an above average putter. Not an elite one. Plenty good enough to win majors.
I think the LIV tour gonna implement an open event with qualifiers with never seen before prize pool that gonna be the "fifth major"
Think Faldo said it at the time, but McIlroy had a huge advantage with the driver in his glory days and now the others have caught up. It's much more competitive now aswell.
He still has a huge advantage. Others have the same ball speed, but Rory's launch angle and spin conditions are unmatched. He has 20 yards even over the likes of Shauffle, Champ, Cameron Smith. Only Bryson consistently matches him on distance
So happy the clubhouse podcast is available in YT
Seeing PGAT fans cheering against Rory at the US Open while supporting LIV by chanting USA/USA must have been difficult for Rory. Would like to see Rory just stay in Europe for 2 to 3 years - where his true fans are & until Rory wins another major. 😀
Rory has never been consistent.
Honestly indefensible for the UK not rewarding athletes for medals.
in the case of golfers whom are multi-millionaires they don't need it better to fund grass roots sport and support promising individuals.
@martinsearle714 doesn't matter if they are rich or not you were the best in the world and did it for your country. You should be rewarded period
They need the money to house migrants. More important
I belive that Rorys game started to go down hill when He switch from Titleist and signed with Nikes and then Taylor and followed Tiger.. He lost his nitch.....
He's won just as much with Nike as Titleist. He also had his most successful season using Nike 😂
You’re not wrong. There was a decent downturn in his game. But he has figured that out for sure. He’s won heaps since. But I think he might’ve lost that intimidation factor he had at the time
Other than not getting over the line in majors, Rory’s games has been very good.
Others are just better than him now it's that simple
This isn’t talked about enough, quality of top 20 player now is much higher then 2010-2016,
Scottie, Xander, Rahm best golf can match Rory’s best golf.
He had the lead and could have easily won US Open. I wouldnt call that others are better. It was more up to him.
@@outlander234 there's loads better than him he's a bottler won't win another major
@@georgeelliott1045absolute bollocks. He's mentally gone he's expectations and he's own desires cost him. If he's on it he wins and nobody can do fuck all about it
There's 2, max 3 better than him lmao.
Great having Sophie!
Needs a switch to titlelist
I work early morning and play after I finish and do this 6 days a week and I love it and have been doing this for 4 years now
Scottie is so consistent and doesn't make large mistakes which is why he doesnt have as many iconic shots
Rory got married & started a family, that will ruin any mans life tbh.
Scottie literally just had a child this year
Yeah ruined almost won US Open, winning tournaments left and right.
@@outlander234 im joking fellas, seriously.
@@MikkyTee oh... My bad 😅
Rory took vacation a week before the Olympics and then said he felt “ rusty” during the first round. Imagine a sprinter or another athlete saying that at the Olympics. Rory doesn’t even like golf anymore. It shows on his body language.
Thing is sprinters dedicate a whole 4 years to prepare for the Olympics. Rory and most golfers who compete play professional golf year round. Of course the guy is drained physically and mentally
@@cormacmacaongusa ya, it was just the optics of it for me. looked like he didnt' want to be there.
Sweden here, no one is saying Ludvigs last name correct :D
Rory doesn't listen to anybody else and when he's under pressure, because its only him in his head it gets to him more. Did Rory seriously play a number to the front edge of the hole when he went into the water and expecting the wind to push it a bit further up to the hole when every other player is landing in the middle of the green. He's clueless..
Doesn’t matter if Rory stiffs it to 3 feet his not making the putt ! ! His got no killer instinct when he gets to majors !
Rory lost his way when he started focusing on other stuff outside his game - ie politics
As a Yank, watching this channel and @RickShielsPGA has made me a rabid Tommy Fleetwood fan. Anyone else?
His wife is what happened. Woman can be so cruel
Enjoy Portrush Soife! One great course 30mins from me. But there are equal courses all along the North course. Darren Ckarkes watering hole is the Harbour bar, try the Guinness 😊.
Happy (belated) Birthday Sophie!!!
Scottie better season. I understand the majors, but it’s not close in my opinion. 6 wins, masters, Olympic gold against basically top players including Xander. That being said, 2 majors will me more remembered in the long run looking back most likely, but just as a stat. If I had to pick one for 18 now in head to head it’s Scottie 9/10.
Sophie is one of my favorites - loved her club reviews as well!
6ft changed his hole year that’s still taller then him ;) hahaha just jokes love you Rory
I dont know if true but I heard that scottie's foot move can be a compensation for what he feels is a mistake he made prior in his swing. Like when dropping the club to prevent a massive hook. If true that's a skill never before held.
Did not quite get the GB bonus system, but seems like Tommy Fleetwood is considered a total failure finishing second in the Olympic golf tournament by the NOC.
Everytime she’s on here she seems to say something just totally out of touch with reality,saying no one was invested in scottie scheffler or thought he was great until he got arrested is so bizarre and just out of touch. He’s won the masters twice
Scheffler just hits more fairways than Tiger did so he doesn't need as many amazing recovery/memorable shots.
The times I’ve been able to see him. It almost as if his “boring” shots are so good, he doesn’t need the iconic Tiger shots. Maybe, it’s just me.
I watched Scottie Scheffler at Troon a few rounds too and he looked like he didn’t have a care in the world, he knew exactly what to do, stayed calm and carried on. What a man. Rory…. if I supported him, I would be a wreck too! He can have blistering rounds and after the Open, I did start to feel for him. I think he has a lot of demons up there.
Well he's still a hypocrital tool, so there's that I suppose.
6:24 thank me later
Thank you 👍
Too bad I saw this comment when I was 6:22 into it
Rory is a stubborn git. He needs a new caddie, and he needs to take time to adjust his game to suit the masters and links rather than being bull headed and forcing his game onto these types of courses.
He's the classic driving for show, putting for dough meme. All power but no results.
He's also not a role model. He has treated every woman in his life badly by dumping them by text for little or no reason or cheating behind their backs. He only got back with his wife because of the backlash from his own family. He's a mess frankly.
Damn, imagine being this worked up over a golfer. Who hurt you bro🤣
13:37 thats kinda akin to the poker mentality of as long as you make EV+ decisions, those long term results will come. in scottie schefflers case, as long as you keep giving yourself birdie chances, long term EV+ results would say eventually ull birdie and the worst ull get is par. par is still a lot better than bogey, so u keep your head down and just try making EV+ plays after EV+ plays
Folks repeatedly highlight Scottie's foot work, saying how can he hit so many great shots with footwork like that, but the crazy footwork comes after he has hit the ball, it's irrelevant, it's just a product of a fantastic and powerful swing, watch him on his pre round range session, his post shot footwork is a lot calmer, textbook.
Rory dominated on arguably the hardest greens on the tour at Pinehurst, I think at his best not many can beat him. He just gets in his own head.
Gold medal will never be the "5th major" it has a weak field compared to any weekend on the PGA. Still a great event, but the field brings down the prestige
Enjoyed Sophie a lot!
Nothing has happened to Rory, he’s continued to win tournaments and rank high on the Fed Ex standings every year. The only thing he’s been unable to do is get over the line in the Majors.
He's a headcase , it's that simple . Sort of like Jordan Speith .
Iv done a Rory today
13 pints later and 18 golf balls later on the afternoon 18 holes out of 36
brilliant 😂
If someone said Rory would go 10 years without winning a major or Tiger not winning another tour event after his 2019 Masters win. Which one do think would be harder to believe?
Edit: Tiger wouldn’t win another tour event after 2019 ZOZO championship. Reducing the timeframe by a whole 6 months of my earlier comment.
Rory by a mile, that masters felt like Tigers final moment
Rory. Also, Tiger won the Zozo championship after the 2019 masters.
@@fndrr42 haha beat me to it
I remember all the talk of will Rory beat Jack's 19. You would've gotton huge odds at the bookies on Rory not winning one for 10 years.
That US open was nerve wracking tough, had a different vibe on Sunday than any golf tournament I can think of...Tense! I give Bryson DeChambeu more credit for winning that thing than Rory losing it. Bryson hit some incredibly difficult recovery shots on the last hole and pulled it off for a win. Rory gave it his best effort on a ridiculously hard course but was simply outplayed....by one guy.
Tiger did ridiculous shots because he got himself in bad positions. Scottie doesn't!
Am I missing domthing here the olympics has always been Amatuers when were professionals allowed to compete in olympics.
I think he's kicking himself for not joining liv golf, 😂
Rick and Guy, I’m interested in your opinion on Kuchar hitting into group ahead and possibly ruining Rai’s chance to win. I don’t care that he marked his ball due to darkness. I really care that he hit into the group without any concern of Aaron’s possible win. possibly the worst thing a touring pros ever done on the golf course. In my opinion he should be suspended.
Such little margin of error in golf. So many things to go wrong and no two shots are the same.
Re the Rory question? What do you mean you don’t know his stats?
How can you release a Podcast episode knowing that you’re going to ask that question and not spend just 5 mins checking the PGA Tour stats? 🤷♂️
I kind of feel bad...anytime one of us (myself and fellow golfers) lips out.. it's "Come'on Rory".
Never seen or heard of the woman on this podcast, why is she on?
Because of her natural sparkling charisma
Rory has won Zurich Classic, Wells Fargo, and Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He finished Top 25 in 3 of the 4 majors. in 2023 he won another 2 events, plus, 3 top ten's in the majors
No majors in a decade
@@j.s3300There are some great players who never won a major…
It amazes me how two people that don't have to work a regular job can complain about playing or filming golf for a living. Spend some time in the real world & you two will never complain again.
Olympics is not what it used to be.
People who act like majors are all that matters sound silly when they effectively make out that someone like Todd Hamilton had a better career with 1 major than someone like Lee Westwood or Luke Donald who both became world #1 with several DP world tour & PGA tour wins as well as ryder cup victories but never had a major. I knoew which careers anyone who knows sbout golf would rather have...
The best players only care about the majors
Rory is by FAR the harshest judged golfer whos ever lived basically. What's happened with Rory? Hes played well this year. Hes probably the 3rd best golfer in the world still. Where is this question being asked about Rahm, or Cam Smith, or Spieth, or Jason Day or etc etc etc.
Can you IMAGINE if Rory did what Rahm did on the back 9. Social media, this podcast would be ABLAZE.
Ted Scott is in the top 50 of the PGA Tour money list 😂
Also tired of the “when Rory lost to Bryson” narrative. Taking it all away from Bryson. Bryson beat the field, nobody lost to Bryson. He did what nobody did and finished what he started that Thursday. Cheers gents great podcast
His obsession with putting the boot into LIV is a distraction..it’s got in his head
Rick if you can do better than rory macilroy become a tour professional no one has the right to dis him 26 wins including 4 majors says it all .
I was always told that good golf is often boring golf. Scheffler may not have memorable shots this year, but I’m sure his trophy room and bank account can’t tell the difference
You have to understand that you don't start golf to make a lot of money. The Olympics stand for other values. That's what the players are after. Everything is not business. It's something you do for your country and the Olympics are a collective unity of athletes who all try to win something more than themselves.
He's(Rory) a 1% golfer but is a front runner imo. He seems 2 love when things are going good but doesn't seem to handle adversity well at all. Seems mentally weak 2 me.
Rory is beyond unlikable, seeing him fail is just fantastic. Always rooting against him
Rory has been exposed for being the whiny, thin-skinned Karen that he really is.
Compared to the 8th most successful PGA Tour winner ever in Phil Mickelson.... Rory has 2 more majors than Phil Mickelson did at the age of 35, and 12 more wins on tour (2 more for Phil on the PGA tour at 35y). Both have 4x runners up places at majors. To be fair Phil has also finished 2nd 4 times to Tiger in that era.
All in an arguably tougher depth of field in this modern era. I think if Rory is on the career trajectory of top 7 players of all time overall hes doing quite well indeed.
Rick a few weeks back on social media reposting about being nice because people were criticising his game. Few weeks later, comes on to slate one of the best golfers of his generation. Make it make sense.
He'll win another major and when he does all these 'Experts' will be saying "I knew he would do it"
Sheffler is great. Bryson is great, Brooks is great, but lets see if they are still doing it in 12 years. People forget, Rory is 17 years into his career and still competing.
I reckon Rory’s downfall has been winning those 4 majors within 3 years. Held to incredibly high standards since the start of his career. Which are impossible to live up to. Expected to win every tournament he enters. His career might of been different those major wins were spaced out
Ludvig's last name is pronounced like this: The sound of the letter "Å" is the same as in "saw" or "law", The last letter "g" is not silent or pronounced as a "g", it is pronounced as a "j". The emphasis is on the first syllable ("Å"). So just say: SAW-berj but drop the S.
Isn't a j pronounced differently in Swedish?
@@CMCMTTTV Ah, true..! In Swedish, a j is pronounced like the y in you.
It's hilarious listening to her gaslighting about Rory
That boy Scottie is guided by God and good vibes
The argument against Scottie is he only won 1 event against all the best players in the world.
I love and root for Scottie. Just my honest opinion.
In the old days the world number one played all over the world and prove himself to be the best not just play in America that’s first time he’s won in another country
Scottie and his caddie are true belivers. With that comes a mindset we can´t begin to understand. It´s that simple. Or complicated.
They all have about two to three years at the top. Tiger had over 20 and Rory has been top 10 for almost 15. Let’s see how Scheffler is doing in 2035!
What has happened to this podcast & Rick Shiels over the last couple of years. Somethings changed and it’s not for the good
Yeah. Im not paying.
Crap caddy/yes men around him.
Look at when he was in contention in the olympics, he missed a wedge short in the water, the only place he couldn’t go. Scottie ain’t hitting that shot under pressure..
Bryson is not in that conversation? Major and 2nd in another? Xander won 2.
Rory to a laymen golfer just seems like your buddy who swings way too hard… he’s fantastic when he’s “on” but super inconsistent and can get in big trouble. Doesn’t have that gear where he can cruise and have a safe round . Great player tho….
Rory has been shit since 2011. Why dose the media/everyone rate him?? He has done nothing since then.. move on
Major wise yes...but even then he has had lots of top 5 finishes. Outside of that he's won the FedEx multiple times and race to Dubai. So would hardly say he's done nothing.
If it's just majors you rate people on then 99.99% of all golfers have done nothing
@Ballroot84 correct, the attention he gets is ridiculous. All about the majors. As thats all that actually matters when looking at any pro golfers career.
@@Ballroot84so what you're saying is that Rory is a great tour player,,,,,, but mentally shit at winning majors.
I don’t think you know what the word shit means! 😂
DOES.
What happened to Rory? Hes one of the best golfers in the world.
It’s not a Rory problem it’s everyone holding him to a higher standard than he actually deserves. He’s treated like someone who wins all the time but in reality he almost never wins especially recently. He’s a good golfer but not as good as he’s made out to be. The way people talk about Rory they should be talking about Scottie.
Rory’s problem is inconsistent focus….seems like there’s no intensity/compete in him from one round to the next….lastly, I see different tempo from one shot to next, especially wedges…..remember it’s a mental game.
Nothing he came in second in the us open this year.
People still hating on Rory. Third in scoring average this year, missed a couple of shot ones at the us open coming in but also holed some bombs and made some big up and downs. Getting critiqued by so called pro golfers who can't even break 80.
Rory is absolutely better than Xander, don't let a hot streak during Rory's cold streak change that
