Went to my first LIV event Sat at the team championship at Doral. I have to say the way they welcome and include kids is amazing. We only had grounds passes and they invited my two young children on the tee box as DJ and Phil tee'd off. All the free activities in the kids interactive zone was amazing. My kids want to go to all of the matches we can. They filled a spot missing in the PGA tour.
I have watched every LIV event since its inception and really enjoy it. I attended The Greenbrier for all 3 days and followed Bryson the entire 54 holes. It was as much fun as I've had attending a professional event. There were way more people there than I expected to be honest. I have attended plenty of PGA Tour events as well and of course enjoyed them as well. I love the LIV schedule day to day. You show up an hour or so early, they tee off and 4.5 or so hours later its done. So easy to schedule your day. Arrival, golf, dinner after etc. If people hate it so be it...
Watching Bryson finishing on Sunday was pure entertainment, the 16th was a great watch. Why not try to tag on to Liv JCB for your UA-cam masters, infrastructure already there for live streaming on UA-cam.
Enjoyed the final 2 weeks of LIV. No need to back pedal Guy, it’s not for everyone. Forget brand and watch the players. Watching Bryson and Cam Smith and others, it’s as good as any.
Something doesn't sit right with playing golf with Horvat, Poulter etc... then coming to talk about them with ol'Guy here on your podcast. My take is that if you have something to say, say it to Horvats, Poulters face, give them opportunity to respond to you, then close that round/conversation. If you keep this "gossip guy" format, it might undermine your ability to attract new players on your videos later.
I 100% agree here they are kicking themselves in the foot for future videos. They both had opportunity's to call these things out to the people's faces and Notting watching these 2 less and less these days
Yeh, same feeling really. It does make me feel like they’re bitching. I’m sure they don’t mean that. But it’s not a good look really. Seems a bit of a serious response from Rick to grant suggestion. He’s -20 in his last 4 rounds and ricks probably +15. Not exactly out there,
Only got into golf during covid, I think there’s a place for LIV. Team element is different and it’s still big names playing golf. It’s nowhere near the majors or bigger PGA tour events but that will take time.
The Liv - Guy thing is wild. Like, why are Liv folks so sensitive? They beat up the legacy golf without a 2nd thought of hurting anyone's feelings. In my experience, it's because they've been found out. If it was a good product, you would have all the teams sold, ESPN would be broadcasting it, and every corner of golf would be excited about it. Instead....we have this.
as an Aussie it's easy for me to select my team. I wish it was countries vs each other, USA could easily be split into West Coast, East Coast, Central, North and South, add in a feeder league for rookies to relegate the bottom players at end of the season so not only is the top exciting but also the hunt to avoid relegation, ensure each team has at least 2 rookies per season or something to that effect. I think that would be the winning formula! really got into Ryder cup this year for the first time imagine that passion and atmosphere
@jackiejay4556 example in tennis would be the Hopman Cup which is country based, mens singles, womens singles and mixed doubles to compete for points, it's a well covered and watched event. It works well because other countries are represented, the Ryder Cup is not diverse enough as USA and Europe only, leaving out quite a lot of potential for other countries to be involved.
@jackiejay4556 it's a fair point but I still think it could have a place in golf like cricket and T20. I do think they got LIV wrong and will ultimately die off
One of the things with LIV that has been an eye opening for me is the few names that are on the rise and you use not to hear about them on the PGA tour, Lahiri, Munoz, Gooch, Ortiz, etc.. these players are suddenly on the spotlight and I really like them, if they would come back to the PGA tour they would be more followed than before just because of the exposure.
I watched every LIV event this year. I love the mix between individual/team competition. I actual enjoy that it is a smaller field. I got to know the entire field throughout the season and was fun to see guys like Scott Vincent and Richard Bland fight to save their spots at the end of the year. Doesn’t hurt that my Crushers pulled it off in the end too. Looking forward to seeing what changes will be coming this off season.
You know what changes are coming? They are going to shut down soon lol. LIV was only started to force the PGAs hand and to get a stake in the PGA. They have done that now, so the Saudis have no reason to keep LIV around.
Your takeaway issue is EXACTLY what I figured out in my swing about 9 months ago. When it happened it was an "aha" moment! I would intentionally keep my face closed on the takeaway and then hook the hell out of the ball. When I started just naturally allowing my face to travel correctly, my contact became much better and face was more square! Awesome job to both Robbo and Rick for listening and taking his advice!
Rick and Guy, you don't get it. PGA is dying. They were hurting before, but now they're irrelevant. Seriously, when has anyone watched PGA? They don't show the first two days or mornings. They only show a few players. And if they don't have the top players, they lose money from broadcasters. That's why OWGR can't give LIV world ranking points. It would destroy PGA financially.
LIV is a faster pace to watch and I personally enjoy the hit after hit after hit - more action, easier to watch. Could it be better? Absolutely. But doing pretty good for a 2nd year tour. Also, I agree with Rick on the teams are not captivating folks...pair them with a nationality or city or continent or SOMETHING for people to identify with. In America, folks are VERY on their teams from their towns...Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Lakers, etc. Keep up the podcast, enjoyable listen/watch. Congrats on Beating Grant!
How is it doing good for its second year? The ratings are dropping and they were already lower than the WNBA. The Saudis don't care about LIV anymore now that they got a stake in the PGA (which was always their end goal). Thats why they didn't pick up any good players in 2023
@@whenisasnakeatail4933most do with an open mind... Doesn't matter your politics if you go to an actual event it blows the PGA events out of the water. More to do as a family with kids, the golfers are very engaging with fans, if you're the party type they have the DJ and live concerts, they have so many activities, and the set up all the way around is very professional... I like PGA and been to some of those events as well and tbh LIV was way better. I'll still go to PGA events as well because I like to watch in person but more to do at LIV events and fans are treated way better.
The Liv teams are actually already mostly made up in the way Rick and Guy were suggesting they should be; the 4 Aces are all American, Torque are South Americans, stinger are all South Africans, Majestics 3 of 4 are British , Ripper are all Australians .
Hey Guy. Bang on with your opinion mate and completely agree. I'll often watch the PGA or DP because they feel relevant. I'm not there with LIV. Having said that, I love the content Bryson has been putting out there with his 9 holes 2 v 2's. Everything needs history and LIV hasn't anything. It's a shame that the PGA gaffers didn't let PIF join in, in the first place. And I do blame the PGA tour for this.
Cannot disagree more Guy cannot wait to watch it. The camera work is so much better. I have not watched as much golf since Liv has been around. I get to see more players in Liv than i do with the PGA who choose to focus on certain players regardless of where they are on the leader board.
Yes I totally agree, I've got tour players as friends that have played on LIV and they have said privately its the best they have been treated on any tour.
Yep. The only thing I don't like is the scoreboard is a bit clunky and I'd like the teams to actually mean something rather than just random teams with random names. Other than that it ticks alot of boxes
Rick activating Beast Mode was priceless. Well played dude, would love to see you build on this now. With input from James and drawing on the instruction you've had from Dan Grieve and Brad Faxon you can only go up.
Congrats to Rick on the match play win! But it was so plain to see in the other videos you filmed during the week, that Rick found it so hard to even give a compliment to Grant. Most notably in your 3 man scramble, Grant would play a worldie shot and Rick wouldn’t even say anything whereas as grant was so supportive throughout every vid. Maybe makes sense now due to the front tees comment.
I agree with you 100% guy. You can't just turn it on and immediately know whats what! I think it should be 72 holes. I need more head to head action there. Teams need to be a draft.
Just throwing my 2cents in: I feel watching PGA events (other than majors) do you really watch the middle of the pack guys because usually its a pre picked group and thats all you get. Liv does offer an alternative that gives you the full course experience and you get to see some of the 'others'. You find it hard to choose a team because they are new and youve only just started watching! Its like saying youve just started watching ice hockey and dont really get it and not sure which team to follow. Most of us with football have a team because of family, or following a player we like, or as kids even colours you like! (Pick a nice looking logo Guy and just start rooting for that team 😆 see if it changes your perspective)
Rick playing good golf is actually what started me watching him. I started a few years late granted but I started watching during COVID and suddenly I started practicing golf on the range. And then the decline… it’s good to see that competitive Rick back.
Liv Golf is a lot more entertaining than the PGA Tour. With exception to the majors. I am old school I hated when Nascar went to a play off based system and went against tradition. But if you think about it people love the Ryder cup. Liv golf hit a grand slam introducing the team aspect. In fact I am shocked the PGA never thought of this. Liv proved team golf works with the finish they had. Bryson and Bubba's teams put on one helluva show. You damn right Liv Golf is working. They just need their own majors, a few more teams and events. The best part of Liv is the schedule it doesn't eat up the entire day. Shotgun starts are great
Rick right now is like all of us golfer that had 1-2 very good rounds and think that we finally understood all there is to it about the swing and confidence to then come back the next day and shoot 95. I’m happy that he’s determined to train more and play better but from there to think that today you can beat anyone there is still some hard work to be done
Standard PGA Tour events are boring AF.. LIV isn't perfect but the PGA Tour is a stagnant product in comparison and they really messed up the European Tour
One of the things that I despise about the PGA Tour is the same old tired announcers with the same old stupid quips. I’d love to watch golf with no announcers. Just golf being played. They should create a channel where you could just have that. Or maybe be more like the DP World Tour announcers. They don’t talk nearly as much as on the PGA. The PGA announcers have nonstop babble about nothing, and way too many folks talking back and forth. Also, leave the darn players alone on the course. In-course interviews are stupid.
@@Hunter-zp5hd The PGA Tour 'highlights' on youtube are absolute 🐕🦺💩as well. 1 drive, 2 iron shots and 5 minutes of out of context putting, even having commentary cutting out half way through because they are phoning it in so hard
Fan of you both and the show. I would watch the post round interview with the team. It seems to mean a lot to them whether it does to the rest of the world is another story. But an Englishman, Indian, and two Americans came together and seems like they really did have a very strong bond. Something golfers of this caliber prob never felt in their life playing such an individual sport. It was nice to see how the players for the most part are really into the team format. I like the aspects of teams and hope they can keep tweaking and getting better. Two tours with two different styles but great golf is good for the game and the fans
I live in Australia so I am not sure what service providers have the rights etc here but I love the coverage of the DP World Tour. My favourite players are on the PGA, and I am more invested in those results but as a package with commentary etc, i rate the DP World Tour, i hope it maintains its prestige
Am glad that you gave some airtime, for Guy to explain the "I’m sorry but LIV Golf is trash" tweet (and Lee Westwood's response)...Best to "nip this in the bud" quickly & ensure folks have more context (vs only that short tweet) ... I hope you continue to speak your mind on the podcast (You'd be far less interesting, if you go completely 'corporate-speak' or self-censor to please your sponsors!)
Did you know, there are more than 3 pro golf tours around the world. How is it there there is the focus on the anti LIV, suggest that viewing a wider range may provide balance, in a work environment it would be seen as bullying to have such focus although I am not sure Gy could do that. Great to see you playing well Rick, the biggest thing for me was the positive attitude.
Guy, respectfully, you admitted to being purposely "provocative" with your comment. Perhaps the "then you don't like golf" was purposely provocatively in return? Personally, I've been to a LIV event with my family and we had a blast. Loved how accessible the players were, how close we could get and the atmosphere at the event was great. It was a lot of fun and we'll for sure be going back to another event.
So ! Woke early,, just listened to this fantastic podcast on UA-cam. You Guys should be running the country! You talk a load of common sense. Thank you. Agree with everything you touched on. Rick. You know your game is back. Love to see you striking the ball so well again. Guy you comments on LIV. AGREE 100% again thanks to you both. Rob D
I get Guy’s points about LIV but I think he’s just caught up on how it’s still new. There is only so much they can do to make it better and better. Time and history of its own tournaments is what will ingrain it into a league full of enriched history. They can’t speed that up no matter how much money they put into it. Think about it this way…the next LIV tournament’s press conference will not be exciting because there is no history of champions for that specific tournament. There is nothing to get excited about for who will win because you don’t have past champions win’s to compare to. Where as for the PGA tournaments it’s plentiful and there are soo many people who can recall historic moments and wins that now the current players must live up to. What will it take to win it this time. Theres no way to figure it with LIV as everything is the first. But 10 years from now that context will be there and it will give meaning. That’s the answer, time. I do think if you understand that and give it a chance LIV is an entertaining product. Even just the free app is really cool. I can go on there and watch any of it live plus all of the additional content and supplemental content for each tournament week. Stats and leaderboards are super accessible and organized. Other fun features. The team names and relevancy are kinda ehhh but like I said in 10 years they will be seeded in their own history of context whether that is greatness or not.
You think LIV will be around in 10 years hahaha? The Saudis only started LIV because they wanted to force the PGA's hand and get a stake in the PGA. They have done that now so LIV is no longer needed to them. Ratings are bad (more poeple watch the WNBA than LIV lol) and dropping more and more. They are no longer throwing massive money at PGA players (they got no one good in 2023) and its clear the Saudis are over LIV. It won't be long now until they shut LIV down since they accomplished what they wanted getting in with the PGA
Totally with Guy on LIV golf, not sure what it is as the golf is world class, but it's not as entertaining for some strange reason, As for Grant I think in the rematch you should give him a chance (Relentless Rick) and let him play the forward tee's
I think the key moving forward is through social media. I don't watch LIV or non majors but I do watch those and YT golf. Bryson had a match with his team (he and CHIII vs Anirban and Paul Casey) which was cool because you see their personalities. Just because of that I wanted them to win. That's pretty cool in my eyes and Bryson having matches at LIV courses in general will help grow the brand or at minimum grow his own and the players he has matches with.
As somebody who watches golf but doesn't play, I can't understand why people don't like LIV Golf, It's golf, its still 18 holes, it's just as entertaining, the teams are a great addition and keeps every golfer involved right to the last shot, the shotgun start is great and means your not spending all day watching. I think if you love golf should it matter what golf your watching. And everyone saying its all about the money, since LIV started the PGA tour has become just as much about the money
Your point regarding supporting LIV Golf teams is really valid. It is only South Africa that has a team that consists of 4 SA players and are therefore "chosen for us" as SA supporters. This makes it very easy to support Stingers and make Stinger supporters much more invested in the team's success.
As far as teams in LIV go, they've tried to do some of that pull (as you said) by grouping players together.. if you're from the UK, you'll probably gravitate to Majestics or Cleeks, Aussie then the Rippers, Spanish? Fireballs.. not sure why you don't feel that pull exactly, other than the name not being "Team UK"... I have generally liked the Crushers (have had a Crushers Hat that I wear for over a year now).. and I picked them because I like Bryson.. He's the captain of that team, and so I wanted to cheer for Bryson over Brooks or DJ etc... am I really "Invested" a ton? no, but if I'm watching golf cheering for Bryson or whoever, the team is a one add-on point of interest for me, not a drive... and in the end, now I maybe like Anirban Lahiri or Charles Howell more than i would've othewise.. the individual golf is still the draw, and teams is fun. The team golf for me is great, I like having it in there, but it's never going to be the main drive of things like you would have in a TEAM SPORT, golf is still an individual sport with a team aspect on the side.
Maybe Guy is trying to be provocative to get more comments (I guess it’s working…), but the team concept really isn’t too complicated. Just pick a team and root for them. I like the Crushers because I think Bryson is the most exciting and interesting person in golf right now. Pretty simple iyam. In addition, the LIV event was much more entertaining than the Zozo this weekend.
@@ben1ben2ben1 which is kind of the point. Guy is either feigning ignorance for the purpose of the show or remaining intentionally oblivious for whatever reason. Regardless, people who enjoy watching good golf had an entertaining product to watch that weekend if they chose to do so.
The only way you’d beat Grant though is through match play. 18 hole stroke play match off same tees he would have likely beat you pretty good mate. It was an awesome video and overall you played super well!
Great to see Rick gettung an incentive to pivot and learn, focus and execute to play better golf. I had just come back to golf in 2022 after covid. The last time before that was in 1992 so i am re-learning how to play again. Great effort RS -- shows how good your fundamentals are for the game
I will take LIV golf any day as a breath of fresh air compared to a stodgy PGA tour where it is the same top 5 each week using a 70 year format. I would say PGA is still be stymied.
Im so happy for all who like LIV it show there is a market for that kind of golf events, Lets hope they will be around so long that they will make tradition and even new majors. I must admit I watch on YT some time, but have to mute sound, to be honest.
LIV golf may not be for everyone but let's be honest it's still more interesting to watch than your average PGA or DP event where the field can be completely random. The best part of LIV is that it is a consistent line up of good players, the PGA have basically admitted that LIV was a good idea as they have tried to copy it with their designated events. LIV going global is also more interesting than 95% of the top tournaments taking part in the US. Guy, when you say you don't care about what's going on in LIV, that's fine, but do you really care about whats going on in the other tours as well? Lets be honest, the majors and the ryder cup are the only important things going on in golf and the rest of it is just there to fill the gaps!
Its funny what you say about winter golf. We have butt deep snow and cant play golf unless you travel to a state with no snow or play indoors. I would love to have your issues with winter golf 😉
I love Winter golf! nothing better than being outside on a cold day layered in golf apparel and just being outside when nobody else is, I enjoy it more than summer golf it’s always so busy and so many people playing it’s hard to find a good time to play. B/c I don’t like waiting on every hole.
I read somewhere that Liv play only win 10% each of the purse. The other 60% stays in the team. I don’t know if this goes back to liv or the team captain because nobody bought the franchises yet.
From a relatively new golf fan When I first started really getting into golf, it was more golf instruction videos like you, I want Peter and Danny and then I volunteered at Hero World challenge and walked with Rory, Colin, Scottie and JT and really became one. Problem was anytime I wanted to watch highlights of the PGA events where like Rory, Jon Rahm and others were playing. It was always putting highlights and they were three minutes long. It was very frustrating as a golf fan. When liv started to pop up what I enjoyed was that the highlights for each event were 15 to 18 minutes long so you were seeing full shots and it was pretty spread among the field. Luckily thanks to that competition. I think the PGA started improving the quality of their highlight videos and I got to see more of the tournament which was great so I’m happy for any form of competition. I am not a fan of what can be a monopoly. Also don’t mind the format too much, reminds me a bit of F1 so a little more fast paced, but do like a PGA event on a more relaxed day if that makes sense. Sidenote: crushers because of Bryson and my country had pirates haha
For the UA-cam masters can you not piggy back onto a DP tour event in the UK where cameras and infrastructure are in place already. It could be held the Monday and Tuesday after said event. Obviously still a cost involved but Im sure you can afford it. 😯
Okay but you have to realise that in scandinavian countries our courses shut down fully. Can't even practice outside for whole 6months. So remember to enjoy what you have 🎉
Instead of thinking of live streaming the event...maybe think about a delayed telecast (15 -30 mins) ....it may be easier then trying to get the stream out live. Hopefully UA-cam can assist
I don't love or hate LIV, but do think they could make some changes to improve the product. First, they could put it back on UA-cam. I understand the importance of television sponsors, but UA-cam made it so accessible. Second, I think they need to lean in to the team element more. They could have the first round where the teams play in foursomes together. They could help on reads, talk through shots, etc. Also, I think it would be great if the teams had "home courses" just like other sports have home stadiums. When a team plays at their own stadium, day 1, the "home" team could play from the first hole. Additionally, only merch from that team is sold there. These matches would be stroke play. Any courses that LIV needs to add to fill a season could be specialty matches like Match Play, added points for longest drive / closest to the pin.
Guy, you are quite possibly the most transparent creator on UA-cam. Rightfully stating on what you used your social media post for. There's nobody out there that admits to "clickbait." Good for you and Rick for all of the success you have had as a pair. You have the highest numbered/rated UA-cam channel because of the genuine transparency. Keep up the great work!
I think it funny that you get bored watching LIV. I have the opposite feeling now that I've watched lots of LIV. I watch PGA too but now I know why people say PGA is good to take a nap with. I literally have a hard time staying awake watching PGA and am very glad they've started doing more graphics as LIV does. I watched a big tourney a few months ago and the firs to tee off were back in the club house before the last groups had even teed off! Shotgun start is a blessing. No matter how you try and tie teams to some other aspect of the sport or life some people will be alienated by it. If you use club manufacturers for instance some people have issues with NIKE labor practices and potentially all players on the team would have to use all the products even if they have always played TaylorMade. Are there even 12 club mfrs with enough money to own teams? If you go by countries only 4 Americans can play? I think this generic team concept is the only way they could go and leave the biases I mentioned out of it and permit player movement within the teams each season.
The Good Good week was the low point. Bob does Sports there was some improvement and now flushing it against Horvey. That new 3 iron is a weapon. Relatable to us all going through a bad spell and coming out of it firing
Rick, you asked what could another $3.5M mean to these guys. These are competitive athletes who are the best in their sport, they play with the same goal each time; to win. A team win is a team win no matter the sport or league in which it is accomplished. Think of why Team Europe winning the Ryder cup mattered to those guys. They weren't representing their countries officially, they were playing for each other and for pride.
I went to the LIV tournament at the Centurion with my 20 year old "kids". We loved it. Great entertainment, food, drink and golf - it was really buzzing - it was the whole package - better than European and PGA Tour events I've been to, on par with an NBA game. However I still don't tune in to watch the events and I watch the PGA Tour on TV. I'm a 4 Aces fan..... because I found a ball marker someone had dropped in the car park - using it winds up my mates :-)
You can visibly see the difference(s) in Rick's new swing. So good to see. Come on Peter Finch LOL Rick called you out. Do it for the people. Rick you should do a what's in the bag video and let us know if you've decided to replace any clubs? New T200?
Everyone would agree that Guy has every right to his opinion about LIV. I'm just curious to see if we ever see anymore LIV players appearing on Rick's channel in the future.
I enjoyed Guy picking up and running with my comment about Rick's "Damp Squid" remark last week. I also love it when they play the hypothetical people behind some of the comments and they guess their age, clothing, the type of car they drive etc. The little scenes they act out are hilarious.
Might be my first comment on the podcast (left a few on the main channel) but this finally pushed me to leave some critical feedback of something I observe somewhat frequently. I enjoy the show and find both Rick and Guy to be positive and entertaining but I'd put Guy in the category of someone who can easily use 10 words in what should be a 4 word sentence. The LIV rant started about 28:33 and around the 31.55 mark he even acknowledges his long-winded rant but then continues on until almost 36:25. That's nearly 8 entire minutes of what I'd estimate to be 95% Guy rambling with 5% of Rick getting in a comment or two. Would never expect this kind of podcast to be scripted but that's the extreme I think would be needed to tighten up the wandering commentary that happens more than just occasionally. No, I don't expect anything to change but I've thought about commenting on it before and this episode finally made me do it. 😁
People who moan about LIV have nothing better to do, these people dont even watch the DP world tour, or the PGA tour, only the big events or majors. LIV has helped push golf forward and got people back into golf. LIVs production is clearly better than the other tours coverage. The "montage" of clips is amazing! Im not waiting for shots, its easily consumable. Its ok not to like it, thats fine, i just dont understand the hate.
Guy, I'll listen to your thoughts on LIV so much more than I would someone like Rory who's just been venomous, what a healthy, level headed approach. So well said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I felt a European Ryder Cup trick on course selection, tight tree lined and short. Well played Rick though you still had to smash him under pressure 💪💪💪
You say the money doesn’t mean anything to the LIV team in their win. Isn’t that the only thing they joined LIV for? It’s all about the money. If they were asked to play for pride……….
Anyone who assumes golfers throw games/shots have never played the game. Baffling to think any of these players would EVER not play to their level. Love this!!
Went to my first LIV event Sat at the team championship at Doral. I have to say the way they welcome and include kids is amazing. We only had grounds passes and they invited my two young children on the tee box as DJ and Phil tee'd off. All the free activities in the kids interactive zone was amazing. My kids want to go to all of the matches we can. They filled a spot missing in the PGA tour.
I personally love LIV golf. Great players at great venues and I can watch it free on UA-cam in 4K.
I love golf and will watch it all 😂😂
This was the first time in a looong time I actually watched a full 18 holes of golf. I thought it was exciting and entertaining!
I have watched every LIV event since its inception and really enjoy it. I attended The Greenbrier for all 3 days and followed Bryson the entire 54 holes. It was as much fun as I've had attending a professional event. There were way more people there than I expected to be honest. I have attended plenty of PGA Tour events as well and of course enjoyed them as well. I love the LIV schedule day to day. You show up an hour or so early, they tee off and 4.5 or so hours later its done. So easy to schedule your day. Arrival, golf, dinner after etc. If people hate it so be it...
I 100% agree. I went to LIV Chicago. It was great. I watch on LIV app, my smart tv and record CW on my DVR. I watch whichever suits my schedule.
Watching Bryson finishing on Sunday was pure entertainment, the 16th was a great watch. Why not try to tag on to Liv JCB for your UA-cam masters, infrastructure already there for live streaming on UA-cam.
Great idea I was thinking the same thing
Great idea!
Enjoyed the final 2 weeks of LIV. No need to back pedal Guy, it’s not for everyone. Forget brand and watch the players. Watching Bryson and Cam Smith and others, it’s as good as any.
It’s better. LIV players are more entertaining than the PGA guys except maybe Scottie, Rahm, and Viktor
Bryson has been pure class recently. That birdie from the other side of the hospitality tent.. 😮
Far better than the PGA has or will ever be
I don’t enjoy NBA or any basketball but I know many people do so I just don’t watch, and they do
@@geoffgreenwood6968ehh wouldn’t go that far
A lot of respect to Guy for owning this Twitter (X) comment and bringing it to the masses on the podcast.
Something doesn't sit right with playing golf with Horvat, Poulter etc... then coming to talk about them with ol'Guy here on your podcast. My take is that if you have something to say, say it to Horvats, Poulters face, give them opportunity to respond to you, then close that round/conversation. If you keep this "gossip guy" format, it might undermine your ability to attract new players on your videos later.
I 100% agree here they are kicking themselves in the foot for future videos. They both had opportunity's to call these things out to the people's faces and Notting watching these 2 less and less these days
There’s also no way in earth they’re going to be allowed to broadcast or even ask those questions
Yeh, same feeling really. It does make me feel like they’re bitching. I’m sure they don’t mean that. But it’s not a good look really. Seems a bit of a serious response from Rick to grant suggestion. He’s -20 in his last 4 rounds and ricks probably +15. Not exactly out there,
Only got into golf during covid, I think there’s a place for LIV. Team element is different and it’s still big names playing golf. It’s nowhere near the majors or bigger PGA tour events but that will take time.
The Liv - Guy thing is wild. Like, why are Liv folks so sensitive? They beat up the legacy golf without a 2nd thought of hurting anyone's feelings. In my experience, it's because they've been found out. If it was a good product, you would have all the teams sold, ESPN would be broadcasting it, and every corner of golf would be excited about it. Instead....we have this.
as an Aussie it's easy for me to select my team. I wish it was countries vs each other, USA could easily be split into West Coast, East Coast, Central, North and South, add in a feeder league for rookies to relegate the bottom players at end of the season so not only is the top exciting but also the hunt to avoid relegation, ensure each team has at least 2 rookies per season or something to that effect. I think that would be the winning formula! really got into Ryder cup this year for the first time imagine that passion and atmosphere
@jackiejay4556 example in tennis would be the Hopman Cup which is country based, mens singles, womens singles and mixed doubles to compete for points, it's a well covered and watched event. It works well because other countries are represented, the Ryder Cup is not diverse enough as USA and Europe only, leaving out quite a lot of potential for other countries to be involved.
Just another hater @jackiejay. Enjoy a little tea while u are soaking up the PGAt isms.
@jackiejay4556 it's a fair point but I still think it could have a place in golf like cricket and T20. I do think they got LIV wrong and will ultimately die off
One of the things with LIV that has been an eye opening for me is the few names that are on the rise and you use not to hear about them on the PGA tour, Lahiri, Munoz, Gooch, Ortiz, etc.. these players are suddenly on the spotlight and I really like them, if they would come back to the PGA tour they would be more followed than before just because of the exposure.
Each to their own of course, I am a Liv fan. Would you prefer to watch Rory walk from green to tee box and you think that is watching golf?
As a RangeGoats fan, you should absolutely look into HV3 and what he plays for. He is one of the most stand-up guys out there!
I watched every LIV event this year. I love the mix between individual/team competition. I actual enjoy that it is a smaller field. I got to know the entire field throughout the season and was fun to see guys like Scott Vincent and Richard Bland fight to save their spots at the end of the year. Doesn’t hurt that my Crushers pulled it off in the end too. Looking forward to seeing what changes will be coming this off season.
You know what changes are coming? They are going to shut down soon lol. LIV was only started to force the PGAs hand and to get a stake in the PGA. They have done that now, so the Saudis have no reason to keep LIV around.
Your takeaway issue is EXACTLY what I figured out in my swing about 9 months ago. When it happened it was an "aha" moment! I would intentionally keep my face closed on the takeaway and then hook the hell out of the ball. When I started just naturally allowing my face to travel correctly, my contact became much better and face was more square! Awesome job to both Robbo and Rick for listening and taking his advice!
Professional golf isn’t working 99% of it would send you to sleep.
Occasionally you get a decent finish on a Sunday but most weeks it’s a snore fest.
Cricket is a good example of big growth in a sport...by adding different formats and tours across the cricket world...
Rick and Guy, you don't get it. PGA is dying. They were hurting before, but now they're irrelevant. Seriously, when has anyone watched PGA? They don't show the first two days or mornings. They only show a few players. And if they don't have the top players, they lose money from broadcasters. That's why OWGR can't give LIV world ranking points. It would destroy PGA financially.
LIV is a faster pace to watch and I personally enjoy the hit after hit after hit - more action, easier to watch. Could it be better? Absolutely. But doing pretty good for a 2nd year tour.
Also, I agree with Rick on the teams are not captivating folks...pair them with a nationality or city or continent or SOMETHING for people to identify with. In America, folks are VERY on their teams from their towns...Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Lakers, etc.
Keep up the podcast, enjoyable listen/watch.
Congrats on Beating Grant!
How is it doing good for its second year? The ratings are dropping and they were already lower than the WNBA. The Saudis don't care about LIV anymore now that they got a stake in the PGA (which was always their end goal). Thats why they didn't pick up any good players in 2023
LIV golf is great entertainment. And I love that the guys get seriously paid...this will pull more and more players in over the next 10 years.
@@whenisasnakeatail4933most do with an open mind... Doesn't matter your politics if you go to an actual event it blows the PGA events out of the water. More to do as a family with kids, the golfers are very engaging with fans, if you're the party type they have the DJ and live concerts, they have so many activities, and the set up all the way around is very professional... I like PGA and been to some of those events as well and tbh LIV was way better. I'll still go to PGA events as well because I like to watch in person but more to do at LIV events and fans are treated way better.
The Liv teams are actually already mostly made up in the way Rick and Guy were suggesting they should be; the 4 Aces are all American, Torque are South Americans, stinger are all South Africans, Majestics 3 of 4 are British , Ripper are all Australians .
Crushers are American, British, Indian.
Hey Guy. Bang on with your opinion mate and completely agree. I'll often watch the PGA or DP because they feel relevant. I'm not there with LIV. Having said that, I love the content Bryson has been putting out there with his 9 holes 2 v 2's. Everything needs history and LIV hasn't anything. It's a shame that the PGA gaffers didn't let PIF join in, in the first place. And I do blame the PGA tour for this.
Cannot disagree more Guy cannot wait to watch it. The camera work is so much better. I have not watched as much golf since Liv has been around. I get to see more players in Liv than i do with the PGA who choose to focus on certain players regardless of where they are on the leader board.
could not agree more, liv got back me into golf.
And no commercials and/or “play throughs”.
Yes I totally agree, I've got tour players as friends that have played on LIV and they have said privately its the best they have been treated on any tour.
Yep. The only thing I don't like is the scoreboard is a bit clunky and I'd like the teams to actually mean something rather than just random teams with random names. Other than that it ticks alot of boxes
I poked the beast 😳
The LIV team championship was FABULOUS! Watched every shot! Love LIV!
Rick activating Beast Mode was priceless. Well played dude, would love to see you build on this now.
With input from James and drawing on the instruction you've had from Dan Grieve and Brad Faxon you can only go up.
Congrats to Rick on the match play win! But it was so plain to see in the other videos you filmed during the week, that Rick found it so hard to even give a compliment to Grant. Most notably in your 3 man scramble, Grant would play a worldie shot and Rick wouldn’t even say anything whereas as grant was so supportive throughout every vid. Maybe makes sense now due to the front tees comment.
I enjoyed the entire LIV season. Great courses, good shots, lots of fun. I got a sense that the players enjoy playing in it.
I agree with you 100% guy. You can't just turn it on and immediately know whats what! I think it should be 72 holes. I need more head to head action there. Teams need to be a draft.
Just throwing my 2cents in: I feel watching PGA events (other than majors) do you really watch the middle of the pack guys because usually its a pre picked group and thats all you get. Liv does offer an alternative that gives you the full course experience and you get to see some of the 'others'.
You find it hard to choose a team because they are new and youve only just started watching! Its like saying youve just started watching ice hockey and dont really get it and not sure which team to follow. Most of us with football have a team because of family, or following a player we like, or as kids even colours you like! (Pick a nice looking logo Guy and just start rooting for that team 😆 see if it changes your perspective)
Rick playing good golf is actually what started me watching him. I started a few years late granted but I started watching during COVID and suddenly I started practicing golf on the range. And then the decline… it’s good to see that competitive Rick back.
The Australian round of Liv was one of the best events of the year!
Liv Golf is a lot more entertaining than the PGA Tour. With exception to the majors. I am old school I hated when Nascar went to a play off based system and went against tradition. But if you think about it people love the Ryder cup. Liv golf hit a grand slam introducing the team aspect. In fact I am shocked the PGA never thought of this. Liv proved team golf works with the finish they had. Bryson and Bubba's teams put on one helluva show. You damn right Liv Golf is working. They just need their own majors, a few more teams and events. The best part of Liv is the schedule it doesn't eat up the entire day. Shotgun starts are great
Rick right now is like all of us golfer that had 1-2 very good rounds and think that we finally understood all there is to it about the swing and confidence to then come back the next day and shoot 95.
I’m happy that he’s determined to train more and play better but from there to think that today you can beat anyone there is still some hard work to be done
😂 literally me last month. Shot my best ever round (86) and was in the best mood for a good couple of weeks - 'I've solved golf!'
Next round shot 108!
I think Guy is becoming the new Gary Neville of golf love it
Him being a Liverpool fan will love that 🤣🤣
Standard PGA Tour events are boring AF.. LIV isn't perfect but the PGA Tour is a stagnant product in comparison and they really messed up the European Tour
I think watching golf in general is boring af unless your favourite player is playing
One of the things that I despise about the PGA Tour is the same old tired announcers with the same old stupid quips. I’d love to watch golf with no announcers. Just golf being played. They should create a channel where you could just have that. Or maybe be more like the DP World Tour announcers. They don’t talk nearly as much as on the PGA. The PGA announcers have nonstop babble about nothing, and way too many folks talking back and forth. Also, leave the darn players alone on the course. In-course interviews are stupid.
@@Hunter-zp5hd The PGA Tour 'highlights' on youtube are absolute 🐕🦺💩as well. 1 drive, 2 iron shots and 5 minutes of out of context putting, even having commentary cutting out half way through because they are phoning it in so hard
I find Liv to be entertaining. Not having an effective world ranking system hurts golf.
I enjoy LIV and especially enjoyed it this year as I'm a Bryson fanboy, I picked to support the crushers unsurprisingly because Bryson is the captain
Fan of you both and the show. I would watch the post round interview with the team. It seems to mean a lot to them whether it does to the rest of the world is another story. But an Englishman, Indian, and two Americans came together and seems like they really did have a very strong bond. Something golfers of this caliber prob never felt in their life playing such an individual sport. It was nice to see how the players for the most part are really into the team format. I like the aspects of teams and hope they can keep tweaking and getting better. Two tours with two different styles but great golf is good for the game and the fans
Is this real? 😂
I live in Australia so I am not sure what service providers have the rights etc here but I love the coverage of the DP World Tour. My favourite players are on the PGA, and I am more invested in those results but as a package with commentary etc, i rate the DP World Tour, i hope it maintains its prestige
Am glad that you gave some airtime, for Guy to explain the "I’m sorry but LIV Golf is trash" tweet (and Lee Westwood's response)...Best to "nip this in the bud" quickly & ensure folks have more context (vs only that short tweet) ... I hope you continue to speak your mind on the podcast (You'd be far less interesting, if you go completely 'corporate-speak' or self-censor to please your sponsors!)
I don't tend to listen to Guy so no idea what he said but FWIW I've watched LIV since its inception and I've really enjoyed it. It's not complicated.
Did you know, there are more than 3 pro golf tours around the world. How is it there there is the focus on the anti LIV, suggest that viewing a wider range may provide balance, in a work environment it would be seen as bullying to have such focus although I am not sure Gy could do that. Great to see you playing well Rick, the biggest thing for me was the positive attitude.
Guy, respectfully, you admitted to being purposely "provocative" with your comment. Perhaps the "then you don't like golf" was purposely provocatively in return? Personally, I've been to a LIV event with my family and we had a blast. Loved how accessible the players were, how close we could get and the atmosphere at the event was great. It was a lot of fun and we'll for sure be going back to another event.
Guy, what was the last regular season PGA Tour/DP Tour event you watched for hours?
So ! Woke early,, just listened to this fantastic podcast on UA-cam. You Guys should be running the country! You talk a load of common sense. Thank you.
Agree with everything you touched on.
Rick. You know your game is back. Love to see you striking the ball so well again. Guy you comments on LIV. AGREE 100%
again thanks to you both.
Rob D
I dont think anyone bothers about guys opinion, everyone knows its just for attention and obviously it was rick who told him to do it
I get Guy’s points about LIV but I think he’s just caught up on how it’s still new. There is only so much they can do to make it better and better. Time and history of its own tournaments is what will ingrain it into a league full of enriched history. They can’t speed that up no matter how much money they put into it. Think about it this way…the next LIV tournament’s press conference will not be exciting because there is no history of champions for that specific tournament. There is nothing to get excited about for who will win because you don’t have past champions win’s to compare to. Where as for the PGA tournaments it’s plentiful and there are soo many people who can recall historic moments and wins that now the current players must live up to. What will it take to win it this time. Theres no way to figure it with LIV as everything is the first. But 10 years from now that context will be there and it will give meaning. That’s the answer, time. I do think if you understand that and give it a chance LIV is an entertaining product. Even just the free app is really cool. I can go on there and watch any of it live plus all of the additional content and supplemental content for each tournament week. Stats and leaderboards are super accessible and organized. Other fun features. The team names and relevancy are kinda ehhh but like I said in 10 years they will be seeded in their own history of context whether that is greatness or not.
You think LIV will be around in 10 years hahaha? The Saudis only started LIV because they wanted to force the PGA's hand and get a stake in the PGA. They have done that now so LIV is no longer needed to them. Ratings are bad (more poeple watch the WNBA than LIV lol) and dropping more and more. They are no longer throwing massive money at PGA players (they got no one good in 2023) and its clear the Saudis are over LIV. It won't be long now until they shut LIV down since they accomplished what they wanted getting in with the PGA
Glad to see you get motivated to play good golf.
Absolutely
@@RickShielsGolfShowReally glad that you beat Grant after hearing that 👍👍
Totally with Guy on LIV golf, not sure what it is as the golf is world class, but it's not as entertaining for some strange reason, As for Grant I think in the rematch you should give him a chance (Relentless Rick) and let him play the forward tee's
I think the key moving forward is through social media. I don't watch LIV or non majors but I do watch those and YT golf. Bryson had a match with his team (he and CHIII vs Anirban and Paul Casey) which was cool because you see their personalities. Just because of that I wanted them to win. That's pretty cool in my eyes and Bryson having matches at LIV courses in general will help grow the brand or at minimum grow his own and the players he has matches with.
As somebody who watches golf but doesn't play, I can't understand why people don't like LIV Golf,
It's golf, its still 18 holes, it's just as entertaining, the teams are a great addition and keeps every golfer involved right to the last shot, the shotgun start is great and means your not spending all day watching.
I think if you love golf should it matter what golf your watching.
And everyone saying its all about the money, since LIV started the PGA tour has become just as much about the money
Your point regarding supporting LIV Golf teams is really valid. It is only South Africa that has a team that consists of 4 SA players and are therefore "chosen for us" as SA supporters. This makes it very easy to support Stingers and make Stinger supporters much more invested in the team's success.
As far as teams in LIV go, they've tried to do some of that pull (as you said) by grouping players together.. if you're from the UK, you'll probably gravitate to Majestics or Cleeks, Aussie then the Rippers, Spanish? Fireballs.. not sure why you don't feel that pull exactly, other than the name not being "Team UK"... I have generally liked the Crushers (have had a Crushers Hat that I wear for over a year now).. and I picked them because I like Bryson.. He's the captain of that team, and so I wanted to cheer for Bryson over Brooks or DJ etc... am I really "Invested" a ton? no, but if I'm watching golf cheering for Bryson or whoever, the team is a one add-on point of interest for me, not a drive... and in the end, now I maybe like Anirban Lahiri or Charles Howell more than i would've othewise.. the individual golf is still the draw, and teams is fun. The team golf for me is great, I like having it in there, but it's never going to be the main drive of things like you would have in a TEAM SPORT, golf is still an individual sport with a team aspect on the side.
Maybe Guy is trying to be provocative to get more comments (I guess it’s working…), but the team concept really isn’t too complicated. Just pick a team and root for them. I like the Crushers because I think Bryson is the most exciting and interesting person in golf right now. Pretty simple iyam.
In addition, the LIV event was much more entertaining than the Zozo this weekend.
Well the LIV event was the most important they have ever done and the ZoZo is not an important PGA event at all.
@@ben1ben2ben1 which is kind of the point. Guy is either feigning ignorance for the purpose of the show or remaining intentionally oblivious for whatever reason. Regardless, people who enjoy watching good golf had an entertaining product to watch that weekend if they chose to do so.
The only way you’d beat Grant though is through match play. 18 hole stroke play match off same tees he would have likely beat you pretty good mate. It was an awesome video and overall you played super well!
The championship format is awesome for liv
Guy would love LIV if tiger and Rory were in it.
And they aren’t so he doesn’t like it, you’re allowed to not like something based on your own opinion
But they’re not, so he doesn’t.
Love the podcast each week. Watching from Down Under.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great to see Rick gettung an incentive to pivot and learn, focus and execute to play better golf. I had just come back to golf in 2022 after covid. The last time before that was in 1992 so i am re-learning how to play again.
Great effort RS -- shows how good your fundamentals are for the game
I will take LIV golf any day as a breath of fresh air compared to a stodgy PGA tour where it is the same top 5 each week using a 70 year format. I would say PGA is still be stymied.
Im so happy for all who like LIV it show there is a market for that kind of golf events,
Lets hope they will be around so long that they will make tradition and even new majors.
I must admit I watch on YT some time, but have to mute sound, to be honest.
Why are u even talking about Liv golf? Guy has already stated that Liv is trash? Hey Rick, call Westwood and c if he wants 2 come on your show again?
Majestiks 3 captains..........part of their contracts when they came to LIV, because.............captains CANNOT get relegated from the LIV tour :)
LIV golf may not be for everyone but let's be honest it's still more interesting to watch than your average PGA or DP event where the field can be completely random. The best part of LIV is that it is a consistent line up of good players, the PGA have basically admitted that LIV was a good idea as they have tried to copy it with their designated events. LIV going global is also more interesting than 95% of the top tournaments taking part in the US. Guy, when you say you don't care about what's going on in LIV, that's fine, but do you really care about whats going on in the other tours as well? Lets be honest, the majors and the ryder cup are the only important things going on in golf and the rest of it is just there to fill the gaps!
Its funny what you say about winter golf. We have butt deep snow and cant play golf unless you travel to a state with no snow or play indoors. I would love to have your issues with winter golf 😉
I love Winter golf! nothing better than being outside on a cold day layered in golf apparel and just being outside when nobody else is, I enjoy it more than summer golf it’s always so busy and so many people playing it’s hard to find a good time to play. B/c I don’t like waiting on every hole.
21:16 I get wanting to live stream it for ppl overseas, but like any Tour event, there’s still a the time difference factor.
At least you can play through the winter! In Canada courses are covered in snow and closed from Nov to Apr!
Great episode, can’t wait to see more of the new improved Mr S matches. Also agree with Guy on LIV.
I read somewhere that Liv play only win 10% each of the purse. The other 60% stays in the team. I don’t know if this goes back to liv or the team captain because nobody bought the franchises yet.
From a relatively new golf fan
When I first started really getting into golf, it was more golf instruction videos like you, I want Peter and Danny and then I volunteered at Hero World challenge and walked with Rory, Colin, Scottie and JT and really became one.
Problem was anytime I wanted to watch highlights of the PGA events where like Rory, Jon Rahm and others were playing. It was always putting highlights and they were three minutes long. It was very frustrating as a golf fan.
When liv started to pop up what I enjoyed was that the highlights for each event were 15 to 18 minutes long so you were seeing full shots and it was pretty spread among the field. Luckily thanks to that competition. I think the PGA started improving the quality of their highlight videos and I got to see more of the tournament which was great so I’m happy for any form of competition. I am not a fan of what can be a monopoly. Also don’t mind the format too much, reminds me a bit of F1 so a little more fast paced, but do like a PGA event on a more relaxed day if that makes sense.
Sidenote: crushers because of Bryson and my country had pirates haha
For the UA-cam masters can you not piggy back onto a DP tour event in the UK where cameras and infrastructure are in place already. It could be held the Monday and Tuesday after said event. Obviously still a cost involved but Im sure you can afford it. 😯
Okay but you have to realise that in scandinavian countries our courses shut down fully. Can't even practice outside for whole 6months. So remember to enjoy what you have 🎉
UA-cam Masters directly after WM Phoenix Open. They have the perfect infrastructure and fan base. That would be epic!
Instead of thinking of live streaming the event...maybe think about a delayed telecast (15 -30 mins) ....it may be easier then trying to get the stream out live. Hopefully UA-cam can assist
Brilliant again and I jumped on the new website whilst listening looks good looking forward to looking at the merchandise 👍
I don't love or hate LIV, but do think they could make some changes to improve the product. First, they could put it back on UA-cam. I understand the importance of television sponsors, but UA-cam made it so accessible. Second, I think they need to lean in to the team element more. They could have the first round where the teams play in foursomes together. They could help on reads, talk through shots, etc. Also, I think it would be great if the teams had "home courses" just like other sports have home stadiums. When a team plays at their own stadium, day 1, the "home" team could play from the first hole. Additionally, only merch from that team is sold there. These matches would be stroke play. Any courses that LIV needs to add to fill a season could be specialty matches like Match Play, added points for longest drive / closest to the pin.
Quitting drinking is hard. When you stop theres bottleshops everywhere and booze ads every time.
Guy, you are quite possibly the most transparent creator on UA-cam. Rightfully stating on what you used your social media post for. There's nobody out there that admits to "clickbait." Good for you and Rick for all of the success you have had as a pair. You have the highest numbered/rated UA-cam channel because of the genuine transparency. Keep up the great work!
Guy, that’s very unprofessional to call an entire league “trash” and shit on everyone who enjoys the league. You got a lot of viewers now be mature
I think it funny that you get bored watching LIV. I have the opposite feeling now that I've watched lots of LIV. I watch PGA too but now I know why people say PGA is good to take a nap with. I literally have a hard time staying awake watching PGA and am very glad they've started doing more graphics as LIV does. I watched a big tourney a few months ago and the firs to tee off were back in the club house before the last groups had even teed off! Shotgun start is a blessing.
No matter how you try and tie teams to some other aspect of the sport or life some people will be alienated by it. If you use club manufacturers for instance some people have issues with NIKE labor practices and potentially all players on the team would have to use all the products even if they have always played TaylorMade. Are there even 12 club mfrs with enough money to own teams? If you go by countries only 4 Americans can play? I think this generic team concept is the only way they could go and leave the biases I mentioned out of it and permit player movement within the teams each season.
The Good Good week was the low point. Bob does Sports there was some improvement and now flushing it against Horvey. That new 3 iron is a weapon. Relatable to us all going through a bad spell and coming out of it firing
Rick,
you asked what could another $3.5M mean to these guys. These are competitive athletes who are the best in their sport, they play with the same goal each time; to win. A team win is a team win no matter the sport or league in which it is accomplished. Think of why Team Europe winning the Ryder cup mattered to those guys. They weren't representing their countries officially, they were playing for each other and for pride.
I went to the LIV tournament at the Centurion with my 20 year old "kids". We loved it. Great entertainment, food, drink and golf - it was really buzzing - it was the whole package - better than European and PGA Tour events I've been to, on par with an NBA game. However I still don't tune in to watch the events and I watch the PGA Tour on TV. I'm a 4 Aces fan..... because I found a ball marker someone had dropped in the car park - using it winds up my mates :-)
You can visibly see the difference(s) in Rick's new swing. So good to see. Come on Peter Finch LOL Rick called you out. Do it for the people. Rick you should do a what's in the bag video and let us know if you've decided to replace any clubs? New T200?
Badminton??? Do a cross-over with Greg and Jenny from Badminton Insight!!! DO IT!!!!!
Everyone would agree that Guy has every right to his opinion about LIV. I'm just curious to see if we ever see anymore LIV players appearing on Rick's channel in the future.
Figured Guy was going to go "missing" after that tweet last week.
Haha nope!
too bad...he is brining you down@@RickShielsGolfShow
@@greghoffman6295Definitely not. Go and watch the podcasts without guy, they're not as good.
Guy is the man
I enjoyed Guy picking up and running with my comment about Rick's "Damp Squid" remark last week. I also love it when they play the hypothetical people behind some of the comments and they guess their age, clothing, the type of car they drive etc.
The little scenes they act out are hilarious.
About time you and Jimmy had a match Rick what a game that will be
PLEASE offer extended sizes.. XXL, 3X
Might be my first comment on the podcast (left a few on the main channel) but this finally pushed me to leave some critical feedback of something I observe somewhat frequently. I enjoy the show and find both Rick and Guy to be positive and entertaining but I'd put Guy in the category of someone who can easily use 10 words in what should be a 4 word sentence. The LIV rant started about 28:33 and around the 31.55 mark he even acknowledges his long-winded rant but then continues on until almost 36:25. That's nearly 8 entire minutes of what I'd estimate to be 95% Guy rambling with 5% of Rick getting in a comment or two. Would never expect this kind of podcast to be scripted but that's the extreme I think would be needed to tighten up the wandering commentary that happens more than just occasionally. No, I don't expect anything to change but I've thought about commenting on it before and this episode finally made me do it. 😁
Do you know Craig Hanson, Rick/Guy? Would love a collaboration. Best coach on UA-cam
Love the show guys hopefully you talk about Guys tweet
Yep we do!
Man Rick at least you guys can play in the winter, in canada we have nothing November to march, even April depending where you are
People who moan about LIV have nothing better to do, these people dont even watch the DP world tour, or the PGA tour, only the big events or majors. LIV has helped push golf forward and got people back into golf. LIVs production is clearly better than the other tours coverage. The "montage" of clips is amazing! Im not waiting for shots, its easily consumable. Its ok not to like it, thats fine, i just dont understand the hate.
Guy, I'll listen to your thoughts on LIV so much more than I would someone like Rory who's just been venomous, what a healthy, level headed approach. So well said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Rory is the head of the PGA players association. Its his job to shit on LIV. Tiger also shit all over LIV BTW
I felt a European Ryder Cup trick on course selection, tight tree lined and short. Well played Rick though you still had to smash him under pressure 💪💪💪
You say the money doesn’t mean anything to the LIV team in their win. Isn’t that the only thing they joined LIV for? It’s all about the money. If they were asked to play for pride……….
Anyone who assumes golfers throw games/shots have never played the game. Baffling to think any of these players would EVER not play to their level.
Love this!!
