Still no review channel? This is like waiting for Christmas as a 5 year old
Cam smith would need to be in on that list…
Hasn't it always been the case that to be part of the Ryder cup you had to be a member of the teams tour (US PGA and European tour). If you resign from your respective tour then you are making yourself ineligible for the Ryder Cup. That's always been the rule, why change it for a group of players that have decided to play their golf on a different tour? Once again isn't it these players trying to have their cake and eat it? I'm looking forward to seeing a younger generation of players in the Ryder cup, especially on the European team. It's still an exciting format, with players passionate at representing their nation/continent.
the Ryder Cup is bigger than any one player or player(s) – even Tiger! or any has been from the Euro Liv OR US exiles
I don’t think the Europeans that moved to LIV would’ve qualified for the Ryder Cup anyways. I think you’ve overlooked a few Europeans that are playing some seriously good golf just now.
yup. with liv players not being able to play-no one cares anymore.
great episode, rick should play matt at the same course
May has come and May has gone and still no Review Channel, just another story well done chaps!!!
When politics and sports come together, the outcome always has a negative impact on the sport….always. We watch and play golf to get away from the daily grind of politics and what a shame that we will not be seeing the top golfers playing at the next Ryder Cup.
Best players from either side of the pond, yes but how do you rate the LIV players and their current form against those playing the regular tour ?
What a joke. Rick playing Ryder cup . He can't handle any pressure
3 questions, 1. Why can you play on every tour in the world circuit and still play for ryder cups and DP and PGA etc, yet LIV is the devil? 2. Its not a law to stop LIV Europeon players playing on ryder cup, its the Ryder cup committees decision so just change it, the only golf worth watching now is the 4 majors and we are already down to 2 left, divided golf is awful we want to see all the best players playing against each other! 3. Why the hell have they not given LIV world ranking points yet!
The other difference between the US LIV players and some, not all, of the European players is that the US players have left the PGA tour with dignity. Some European players have take a "do you know who I am attitude?" and have been critical of the DP world tour. This a tour that offered the opportunity to develop as players and probably deserves more respect for that alone. In taking that approach does that show the judgement a good Ryder Cup captain would offer? I agree the best players should be picked but some have no displayed a very commendable attitude. This year is an opportunity for some different players to step up onto the world stage and looking back to fading greats (Mickelson and Garcia) isn't really exciting.
The Ryder Cup predates the PGA tour as it is today so it will undoubtedly evolve to accommodate LIV. If US has LIV players and Europe cuts its own arm off by not doing so it’s Europe’s own fault.
It’s such a hard argument to have. As mad as it sounds, what LIV are and what they are doing, isn’t really about golf. They are trying to sportwash blood money into golf. These arguments about LIV players not being eligible etc. etc. is all just noise to distract everyone and stop them talking about the blood money. Guy is correct, Sergio has made his bed, as have the others. They took the money over their own legacy, they now have to deal with the consequences of that. The more this becomes a LIV vs the PGA argument, the less people will talk about the money and where it comes from and that’s the real argument here for me.
The Ryder cup is the Ryder cup. It’s never really been the best players in Europe vs the best players in America, if it had been, Poulter wouldn’t have played half the Ryder Cups he has. The Ryder Cup will always be the pinnacle of the game, don’t buy into the idea that it’s somehow ruined cause Sergio Garcia won’t captain team europe one day. Who cares.
Try again Guy, they don't use Euros in Sweden either🤣
I think you made a case for Op36. Start short and get on the course and feel golf.
The US will beat the Europeans ass, furthermore it will probably be boring as hell
It will be interesting to see how Presidents Cup teams will be selected.
Sergio rants
This tour is s***, you’re all f***ed, should have taken the Saudi money.” And you think he deserves a spot on the team???
I wouldn’t watch if it had LIV players. 9/11 was real.
Liv and the Majors is the only golf worth watching. PGA is a joke as was the recent Presidents cup. PGA is a provincial league, it always was. LIV is now the premiere World league. LIV players playing in Rhyder cup is a step down. Like F1 drivers racing in a Minneapolis Monster truck jam.
when is the review channel starting?
Literally couldn’t care less about LIV or LIV players. Ryder Cup should still go ahead. Watching players with talent and morals is all I care about.
If you are a quality player but if I have no respect for you, I don’t want to see you play.
The Ryder Cup was never about the best 12 players. That's why you have captains picks.
Every time you guys do product placement it just reminds me of Wayne’s World. Next time bring some Ecco shoes in and hold them up while you say it. 😂😂😂
Have you looked at Mickelsons record? I hope they pick him
No Cam Smith??
Ian Poulter, even if not on LIV, is passed it. That showed at the previous Ryder cup and his previous seasons.
Lol Rick's ryder cup picks make me think he's been drinking again.
If you are getting fitted for new bats, would it not make more sense for you to go to precision golf for a live fitting with Simon? Or have you got a deal with Titleist?
The ryder cup should be tour agnostic. Let all players be eligible and may the best country win.
Hey guys on a previous cast you touched on the new rules of golf. Can you please explain the wif rule. Swing without contacting the ball. Does it include hitting the ground but not ball? Thanks
Re the mention of Brands dropping certain clubs. Miura only concentrate on irons & putters now & i can fully understand the motive, just concentrate on the great things you do 😎
What's the point of the Ryder cup having a playground fight if all the hard kids are in detention.
ryder cup who cares ..it can just go away…
Ryder and other cups are not ruined but changed.
Hard to find a "winner" when players are banned from the Ryder Cup, which was designed to bring golfers together. Certainly the fans will be the losers because the Ryder Cup shows some of the best golf ever played. Remember the Phil – Sergio match from a few years ago … birdie vs. birdie vs. birdie vs. birdie vs. birdie vs. birdie – finishing with a birdie duel on the 18th green to tie the match. Amazing. Poults would have been an amazing Captain. Maybe it'll happen when things get settled. And Phil + Jordan Spieth in a 4 ball could be magical. You can't put Phil in a 4-some like Jim Furyk did. Finally, be careful not to mess with the Ryder Cup Secret Sauce. One you lose it, you might never get it back.
If the best players in the world are not at the marquee events (Ryder Cup, Majors) then those events are watered down in quality and winning loses something historically. It no longer is the best beating the best.
Not if the wankers at Liv start playing 4 rounds, instead of sharpening bone saws on Sundays.
You talk as if LIV is still going to be here in 2 years . Its over for LIV . Are you mad .
For a new golfer I would also recommend maybe playing during the week when its quiet if you can. My first rounds were on my local municipal, low cost, no dress code, no high standard to keep up with, no clubhouse windows to smash haha
