All right guys welcome back to the Rick Shields Golf Show podcast episode 216 it’s the start of 2024 happy New Year guy happy New Year Rick Happy New Year to listeners Watchers it feels like this is the final day you can say Happy New Year to anybody for the rest of of
The year I think the 16th of Jan is kind of the cut off point but we have been somewhat slacking Rick that the last podcast went live I think a look before it was the 21st of the 12th so I’m going to be we have not been slacking I’m
Going to be the angry guy now where have you been Rick why has there been no podcast I’ve been chilling out on a beach oh okay of course of course U well it’s always challenging around Christmas with obviously Christmas holidays Etc and then I did I went out on a nice
Lovely family holiday to Dubai where I didn’t think one single thing about work wow however that was very difficult because it fell felt like the golf world erupted every other day I pick up my phone look on Instagram and it’ be like guy broke 9 tiger leaves Nike yes such a body
Leaves clothing brand such a body is rumored to go to live such a body is doing this such I’m like for God’s sake I can’t wait to get back to Manchester cold freezing wet Manchester because I need to sit down with guy and we need to we need to we
Need to cut loose on what the hell is happening in golf right now there’s pros and there’s cons some of the cons are we a little bit late to the party on some of these topics EG tiger leaving Nike imagine someone listening to this going what the the pros though are we’re going
To have an absolute jam-packed podcast um we’ve got to talk about tiger Le Nike as you just said that’s a huge story what what does that mean for golf what’s it mean for Tiger Woods who knows um your friend and mine Tommy Fleetwood won this weekend at
The inor gril winner happy got that word right can you say it ignor Grill no that’s wrong ignor gril really the first yes that’s the inor gril there we go that’s the kind of word that I said them twice but equally I could say that wrong
Forever it’s quite a weird word to say it’s a stupid word it is really he won the first ever du by Invitational um there’s been new drivers coming out th fast and everywhere God that’s another thing that obviously that was the start of every year it’s driver release season
Let’s start there then why it’s the start of the year and we’ll go into the rest of the stuff as this Con as this podcast flows but there’s new drivers from every brand you can think of really all the big dogs have got a driver out
You’ve got the new Cobra you’ve got the new Callaway you got the new tailor maid and you got the new ping which our video goes live today I believe today later on this afternoon yeah I mean from the first thing to unpack is why the hell the brands bring out brand new drivers
At the very start of the year I don’t like it really I don’t like rather it give us a bit of time a bit of bre I mean from from reviewers obviously I was fairly lucky I had a few um uh trips that I took the drivers away so I could
Really test them thoroughly but it’s always a real challenge for certainly our wonderful editing team to try and put together the best possible video to go out on like the 3D of Jan m for God’s sake anyway apart from that logistical issue I I feel like just the start of
The season will be a bit better yeah yeah I feel like a March April time would would suit a lot more golfers what you’ve got to think about here though is yeah from our point of view start of January is a pain right the brands will
Have had put so much effort into looking at when is the absolute best possible time for them to launch you think about it now you’ve got things like the Dubai Invitational you’ve got Tommy Fleetwood you’ve got Rory with the new tailor made Qi 10 so people start to see it oh that looks
Good they watch your review oh Rick it’s good or he said it’s bad or whatever then another maybe two three weeks it’s in the shop we can get a demo you can get fitted couple more weeks later it’s then out you’re starting to want it starting to build that want then come
April the season starts that’s like I’ve got to buy it now whereas if it actually launched in April I think you need a little bit of time to let it imagine like Rory stepping up to the masters with a brand new driver in the back well
That you’ve not seen him us driver cost him a tournament this weekend as well the topic it did we’ll come on to that definitely later in the video but yeah um Callaway AI smoke um nice very very solid driver I think it looks one of the best this year performance was very very
Solid more testing to be done um for for future videos we might uh release on the hit Channel or we will be releasing on the hit Channel um Slightly bizarre name but kind of works yeah the AI smoke and it’s still in the paradigm family three driver heads um very very very solid
Lineup then you the big boy came out the Taylor Made Driver I feel like Taylor have still got the biggest pulling power when it comes to drivers releases that’s fair like that’s where Mo we see in viewing Figures it’s what the most attention typically is on tailor made drivers they’ve got certainly arguably
The best marketing department and they’ve got the best athlete so if you’ve got Rory maroy I be the best driver golf ball in the world tiger world is the most famous golfer I would ever have lived using your products not only on the TV but you can then utilize
Them in your adverts and commercials and content which they now do it it it’s a recipe for success and they brought out this year Qi 10 y worst naming driver I think Taylor Made have ever brought out yeah not the sexiest I don’t I I to be
Fair though they get slagged off for like bringing out jet speed and arrow speed and all these other things just Qi 10 just doesn’t seem to land but it’s it’s flowing off the tongue a little bit more easily now and certainly when you as you mentioned as you start seeing it
A bit more on in players hands and you start seeing a little bit more uh with this big story of trying to get the most forgiving Drive ahead possible with this moment of inurture of 10K um however ping reckon they’ve achieved said feat with their brand new g425 10K
430 go again it’s a mouthful Bing G 430 10K we didn’t say the max ma go again with the brand new 2024 ping g430 Max 10K driver perfect thanks and then you’ve got the ls te yes you’ve got the no you’ve not got you’ve not got those versions this year but
Yeah this is an add-on to the very successful g430 driver lineup but it’s the most ultimate ultimate ultimate ultimate forgiving driver ever made where Taylor May on the Quest for 10K ping believe they’ve achieved it with this driver I’ve been using this ping driver for a few months we obviously
Went to Dubai in December and I used the driver and those videos are coming out soon and for me obviously your videos out today your reviews really in-depth review for me personally I think it is more forgiving than the g425 or was playing how is that can of measure that
I don’t know is it head in a placebo cuzz I know it should be more forgiving potentially but it does feel good the one thing I would say and this is sometimes what annoys me with golf Brands it’s up to Brands how often they release new equipment that’s up to them
That’s their prerogative and nobody has to buy it again we know that most products from year to year change such a small amount however what does annoy me and it would annoy me very much if I was an actual paying customer let’s be honest is that ping last year brought
Out the g430 max LST te and S s f Tech which you alluded to they’ve now gone and gone with a 10K Max a more forgiving version if I was a hardcore ping fan and I knew last year whatever date it was that the g430 was coming out and I
Booked into my local Pro Shop to get a fit in said look I’m a ping fanatic I’ve always loved ping I grew up loving Lee Westwood blah blah blah I want the new driver and on that very quick one and I know ping don’t release all the time I
Know ping only release every two years correct and I’m playing off 24 I don’t hit the ball very well and I want a forgiving driver at the time I would have got fitted I’m sure maybe for an SF Tech but more than likely the max driver
And I walk away with that best part 500 quid very happy with it a few months later it’s not that they’ve replaced it for a G4 whatever they’ve gone with another one in that same family that is now more forgiving and and there’s other brands who’ve done this before Titus did
It they did it with the TS um two and three then brought out a ts1 and a ts4 later down line making a quite a contr video about that and I think a lot of the time this comes down to two things it comes down to maybe materials things
That we don’t think of as customers but maybe they can’t get certain components in time from factories or whatever and the other reason the big reason that ping have done it let’s be honest is that they know they released their driver when they did went down very well
Great driver but when ping released third drivers it’s not around that review season sorry that other brand release season so they get all those sales for their driver but then what can happen is com into 2024 for a lot of people who are interested in Kerr the
G430 can now look old cuz it’s last year so all you do then is which they have done you drop a new one into the conversation the 10K Max that then gets you more sales looks good for you know for their brand and it almost reignites
The other part of the family from last year as well do you think also to some degree why it’s why they’ve also priced it very expensive yeah I think it’s 529 quid or something 599 599 wow I think I think they’ve brought that out as well it’s almost like well surely this driver
Has got to be better because it’s more expensive than the others yeah maybe but yeah it’s a good driver but I think all of these drivers and again we’ve said this before we’ll say it again they’ve got a lot of sex appear let’s be honest
You look at them the shiny the new they suddenly make the old ones look old you see the best players in the world using them you watch the reviews before you know it if you’re into golf you want to buy one don’t don’t forget arguably my favorite driver releases this year cold
CRA the Cobra dark speed yeah seriously seriously I was I I’m semi in love with uh the driver line up there I think the dark speed this year I think without question looks the best and actually performance wise was very very very strong for the first time in a long time
Guy and I mean this I’ve got itchy feet with my driver wow G4 25 Max I’ve been using for God donkey years now all of two years I’ve been using it all that’s like dog years though for you having a drive two years is actually
Seven 14 in all um yeah I’ve had the g425 max in the in the bag for a while but it is definitely due a change you might have seen a few videos that released pre- Christmas I kind of threw in the Adams driver that made me feel a
Bit sick there is another video of still the Adams driver in the bag what you think I know that’s that’s not even been released just yet but uh that’s gone and then um Cobra I think that’s the one I’m most intrigued but I’m open I’m open to
Using any of those uh drivers this year um but my big mission is to increase speed distance and ball speed I’m not bother about forgiveness guy I’ll hit it and I’ll find it you not bother shooting lower scores you want a little bit of a flex on the occasional Instagram story
Want to it further I want to know that I’ve still got got it inside me I’ve still got that speed and at the moment feels like I’m on a downward spiral to retirement yeah well well I need to I need to get speed back up according to
COBRA the dark speed is the driver that would help to do that they’ve gone down this story of head shape and swing speed but it’s a funny one Cobra cuz I know Cobra make great products I think most golfers would would agree with me on that but there’s something about the
Brand and I can’t work out what it is and what they need to do but if I had a friend who said to me oh guy I’ve gone and got fit in for one of these new drivers I wanted to buy one money’s burning a hole in my pocket and they’d
Gone for a fitting with everything if they said they’d bought the Cobra I would never look down my nose at it I know it’s a great drive it’s a decent price point but I feel like I’ve got to ask why where if he got fitted and came
Away with the taid QI 10 or even a ping or obviously a Callaway it’s like oh yeah cool thing is though they’ve all got stereotypes potentially youve got a mate and he goes he come comes out with a brand new Qi 10 okay yeah what what’s your first think
Mark his dream yeah I I’m thinking he’s now going to probably buy the the the matching irons he’s going to have the the tour bag he’s going to go full tailor made like the Callaway what do you think with Callaway Callaway has had a bit of a Resurgence for me it was a
Bit of an old bands brand for a time and it’s kind of come back now as someone that wants a bit of ball speed it’s not my favorite brand I feel like it’s a definitely more youthful brand it’s getting that way with all yeah it’s try
That way and I would maybe say you’re probably inspired by the players using it not maybe so much the marketing and and kind of you want to you want to still hang with the kids yeah for me I’m ping then the Ping consumer of which I
Am with my driver is very much uh sensible you you’ve chosen because of performance they’ve gone they drive the speed limit on the road they’re very kind of um conscious and and and and safe I’d say never Park on double yellow lines no it’s a driv it’s not a driv for
Me anymore it’s not a driving for you at all where Cobra is a bit more like maybe a on backwards walking on the Range a bit bit I just don’t quite what is cobra that’s what I struggle with a little bit is it when Bryson was using the stuff
It’s a bit quirky is it Ricky Fowler and orange pants is it who is it but don’t forget us growing up Cobra was the old absolutely it was like Cobra imagine if someone said in 10 years Cobra would be seen as like the the kind of edgy brand
The little bit more kind of reverent brand you won’t believe it would you not at all and I think that’s with all this said and done what it leads us into the topic off you can have any of these drivers you can watch the videos you can watch the marketing promotions you can
Watch your reviews you can get all excited for them and some of them might help you game and the key word there is might but at the end of the day when you’re coming down the 18th hole and you might be playing in your local monthly medal or playing a match play against
Your friend really whether your driver is the current driver two years old or 5 years old doesn’t matter it’s about putting a good swing on it and we saw that happened to Rory obviously Rory is one of the best drivers of the golf ball on the planet ever Full Stop on the 18th
Hole at um Dubai Creek he was winning and he pulled it left into the water Tommy Fleetwood birded it and then Tommy came off victorious in that moment in time that new driver was irrelevant wasn’t it could it could have been using a Dunlop correct it it it was that final
Day and I think we were speaking about it early this morning it’s re for I was back home so Dubai times 4 hours ahead of the UK for that final round it’s such a great time to watch as a consumer Sunday morning kids were kind of pottering
Around playing I had the golf on re I was genuinely really really rooting for Tommy not I’ve got anything against Rory but obviously spent some time with with spent quite a bit of time with Tommy to be fair um and it was just I really
Really wanted him to win I feel like he needs wins to boost his confidence to help him kind of just crushed 2024 like I think he’s 15th best best player in the world at the moment he could easily be top five like the amount of times he
Puts himself into contention to be able to get on AC cross the line was great orbe it he would probably see himself as being a bit fortunate um with Rory obviously putting in the water on the last but what what a phenomenal last round of golf and what an incredible b
Nine like lots of H lots lots happen in that bat nine you’re right with Tommy but I’d also count on that to a degree than saying that he was fortunate you don’t expect Roy maroy take got that on 18 with his driver but then Tommy sunk a
Monster to take the vory so it was kind of it got some not handed to him but it was it was there and he took it that showed balls if being honest but it was funny I tweeted about it I know you did as well I was made up for Tommy he
Genuinely is by the way one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met in golf he’s he’s such a lovely guy he’s got some big videos coming with him very very soon but I tweeted about it and somebody in fact next week’s episode is Tommy Fleet with episode we’ll come on to that in
Yeah it is we’ll come on to the main video in a second but on that I saw you know what we I’ve not been the biggest Liv fan neither of you and without bashing live once more but somebody tweeted me back saying like oh yeah so
Much felt like it meant so much more than live or whatever right and I didn’t comment back but I kind of agreed at the time I thought yeah you know it did it was better for me to watch I was so much more engrossed in that event than any of
The Live Events but I was thinking this morning why because it’s a new tournament it’s madeup tournament as all tournaments are is it because I played the golf course luckily maybe but the real reason was I was glued to that is because you’ve got Tommy lewood one of
The world’s best players and a guy that I kind of somewhat know and Roy maroy one of the best players ever to have lived head-to head if you actually look at the rest of the leaderboard this is no criticism whatsoever on the guys on the leaderboard I must add but you’ve
Got thirst and Lawrence who came second you’ve got Jordan Smith English guy was fourth Molinari Xander Lombard Toby olon some great guys if those guys were the top few which they were but you take away Roar and you take away Tommy would I have been watching yeah it it it was
It was about Tommy and Rory even if to me it was the fact it was Tommy and Rory cuz if even if it was Rory versus Xander Lombard for fragment sake I would have been glued to it but now then and again going back to live just for one sec if
In this next well sorry this year now if we have this same situation where it’s Brooks and John Ram in the last group with a few holes to play will I watch I probably will so is it showing us that the actual tour and the format is somewhat
Secondary it is about having those names competing you you know what’s quite interesting what what you mentioned just at the start of that then about this this the invit Dubai Invitational is a madeup event yeah first time it’s ever been done at Dubai Creek and you think well all live events
Are made up but it feels like because there’s track record like the Dubai Desert Classic which is this week that was made up 20 OD years ago but that that’s a real iconic event now on the European tour yeah because of that because of that history and that Legacy and and that track
Record there’s nothing wrong nothing saying that the B the buy Invitational won’t be of the same stature in 20 years down the line because there’s history there is Liv still not had that time to be able to do any of that like whoever wins live UK next year there’s still
Only been two winners of that event and there’s been no history yet of 20 years 30 years and to some degree I actually think a lot of the ation that are happening now with PJ tour European tour and live about this kind of it definitely seems to be going more into
This kind of Direction changed his tune a little bit hasn’t he he changed his tune the full 180 degrees I’m not being funny he really has as it’s starting to look like there’s going to be now a future where all of these uh um tours exist or even become together I actually
Think it’s it’s to some degree because I almost feel like like I don’t still don’t see a future for live in that in its current setup right now so because it’s go something’s going to change something’s going to happen if there’s going to be conversations around the
Table if they’re going to blend together something’s going to change and I almost then still it almost devalues the tournament still now even more like let’s say this year I mean live live this year we going playing at JCB one of our favorite golf courses literally
Filmed loads of there I know the guy’s great there whoever wins John Rah goes and wins JCB live okay it’s going to happen um how many live events at JCB or in the UK are going to exist past this point I still don’t think there enough of a
Legacy just yet yeah yeah I hear you it’s a bit like again a stupid analogy the Olympics it’s been going for hundreds and hundreds of years right when you get win a gold medal in the Olympics it’s like you are a gold medalist and that’s been that is track
Record for all those years right yeah when golf first came into Olympics again recently when Justin Rose won that was the first ever event of golf back in the Olympics in the modern era but because he won a gold medal just like all the old golf gold medals that have happened
Hundreds of years ago straight away validity it’s like yeah you are now a gold medalist done I don’t know it I just I I I feel with this and I’m pleased there is conversations happening I’m pleased there going to be getting together more serious one because obviously they were the rumors back in
June when the pi PF joined forces with or had a a alliance with the PJ tour nothing’s really happened since that there’s now been an extension um something’s going to happen yeah but that’s where I feel like what we’re talking about right now PJ tour European
Tour live I almost don’t see a future where any of that exists maybe there an answer I don’t think anyone knows to but you’re right but one thing that’s strange for me is I and I’ve been on this podcast many a times saying that just what you’ve said that they don’t
Like live because there’s no Heritage there’s no meaning behind the events and to a degree I do still stand by that and what you’ve you’ve voiced then makees sense to me however again if I chose this weekend just gone as the example I didn’t watch that really thinking
Whoever wins this is going to add one more DP World title to the name or they’re going to win whatever it was prize money or anything like that it was just literally I’m excited cuz it’s two amazing golfers going head-to-head and one’s going to win and one’s not going
To win so although I don’t again think Liv has got any of that Prestige yet maybe never it will I do genuinely believe and maybe I’m doing a bit of a 18 myself that this year now there is John RAM and you’ve got keer and handful
Of other cam Smith Etc if there is an event whether it be JCB or another would going down the last few holes you’ve got those three or four guys going neck and neck I might tune in even though I don’t think it means much who wins necessarily
In terms of oh my God he’s got a live event and he’s not it still could be exciting but yeah who knows and I still to some degree what and and this isn’t every week at all and and I’m probably being quite hypocritical here yesterday when I
Watched it I literally tuned in for 4 hours and I could not take my eyes off it and I loved the fact that everyone was playing in the correct order on the golf course yeah that was it Tristan Lawrence yeah like put a late charge in
There to to set the clubhouse lead 18 under I love that then that was set and I love then that Rory and Tommy had two holes left to go and they’re both playing each other and they’re both playing the 17th and 18th hole in regulation order yeah I
Love all that still and and I don’t know if it’s even the shotgun element yeah that that loses that little bit of well hold on a minute let me let me scratch my head if if Cam Smith’s on the 17th he’s got to make Eagle but that’s a path
Four where Brooks kep’s got to make bird on the last but that’s a path three you know I I don’t know if sometimes that even confuses it just a little bit more I still don’t think the format’s right for some reason and and it’s not poing
On live or whatever I just hope that the right people get around the right table and go right come on let’s all work together again nothing wrong with you know pumping money into the game of golf whatever it may be make all these um golfers billionaires let’s not not talk
About it so much about money um but let’s let’s create the best the ACT your best product for the fans I think they’re on that and again we’ll we’ll we’ll move on in a second to what content we’ve got coming up but like next week or this week should I say now
Is the hero d by Desert Classic and it’s obviously one of the Rolex events it’s loads of prize money as a golfer the kind of worrying thing is for golf if you like is that I will only not speaking just just me I’m sure you’re the same I’ll really only tune into to
That probably on the Sunday and if there’s guys who I know and like who are doing well if no disect some of those names I mentioned earlier are doing well and are up there great for them and wish them all the best he not going to make
Me tune in but if you’ve got again a sandwich of Rory and Tommy and whoever else I’ll probably want to tune in so we still need to conquer that don’t we every event is a must see not just who’s doing well uh but speaking of Tommy the
Next podcast we are doing is a Tommy Fleetwood special was recorded a few weeks ago before his win um and then on the Friday is the rematch it’s you Rick Shields versus Tommy Fleetwood he starts level par you get the luxury of starting 10 who wins have to wait and see it’s uh
It’s epic it’s really really really good I think you’re going to love it to as mentioned a couple of times got Tommy is such an amazing person um the the podcast episode I’m actually excited because it was a few weeks ago I’m excited to listen back to it yeah
Because I honestly think the the way Tommy comes across um he talk about being quite nervous in the podcast weirdly but you can never tell he’s so chilled out from from the outset we also did a few extra videos with a really good coaching video we did a
Coaching video out of bunkers and how good he was out of bunkers yesterday got to watch that coaching video that will be coming out soon we also did a very in-depth what’s in the bag the clubs he’s currently using which is going to go on the hit Channel stay tuned for
That podcast next week as well and then the 10 shot challenge it’s going to be action-packed and I I’m going to say it now he’s going to go back to back week he’s going to go win at the Dubai Desert Classic I would love that um yeah he’s
Just and what what mad is really if you actually look at his time here he um the last event that was in in Dubai the um race to the by final at jir golfer state which is the golf course I actually played Tommy at um the Earth course it’s
An unbelievable golf course it’s really bloody hard we play off the B Seas it’s like 7,700 yards excuses bunkers bloody everywhere but anyway stay tuned I get 10 shot Head Start and um he he could have won that back in December he he obviously went and won the Dubai
Invitational I just think I just want to see his game just go to a different level and I and I and I really think he’s got it in him absolutely yeah and I think on top of that though that we’ve got some we’ve had a bit of like I said
Jokes Aside at the start of the podcast been a few weeks of no podcast there has been videos on the main Channel there is so much in the bank the podcast are going to be back every single week from now on a Tuesday if you’re in the clubhouse rest assured they’re coming
Thick and fast and Main Channel videos I we got too much content so it’s going to be jam-packed we um I’m excited for them actually I’m excited for a lot of the videos our big match head-to-head it feel like a lifetime ago now in Dubai um
What was it called The Clash in the sun that’s rubbish think of a better version what could it be called it was in it was in the desert really the D destructing the desert yeah yeah it was a good good good match it lived up to all the height
Yeah it was very good but yeah there’s loads of videos coming so I do apologize for those people who’ve been missing the podcast but you know got to have a break he’s got to have his month in Dubai basically he’s got a cough off the back of it so those shei you been
Smoking in your Bentley and your Bugattis that’s funny that is funny um yes so one thing we’ve not discussed yet obviously we alluded to it in the last podcast which again feels like a lifetime ago but the rumors at the time were Tiger Woods was potentially leaving Nike golf it’s now confirmed officially
Obviously by a tiger and by Nike they have parted ways uh I’ve had a little bit of time obviously it’s been a while to to digest this yes it grieve uh at first I was a bit gutted and then I realized it was just a man’s clothes he
Was wearing and I got over it quite quickly but what it means for golf though what it means for Nike and endorsements it it opens up a lot of questions I think the simple answer is that as a business obviously Nike have to make money off their athletes hence
Why they have athletes and the athlete has to to make money or um products so the simple example would be if you’re an aspiring bodybuilder and a protein company say we a sponsor you and won’t pay you but we’ll give you loads of free protein for example that would be quite
Good because you’re thinking well yeah it’s a it was worth a lot of money I want to use those supplements etc etc somebody like Tiger Woods obviously is not just going to be getting free clothes off Nike he’s getting a lot of money it’s about $20 million a year and
He’s had a lot of these long-term contracts like 5 years 10 years whatever it might be so it’s obvious come to a point where either they’ve said yeah we’ll give you $20 million again and he’s gone a lot more or maybe they’ve gone down and said we’re going to offer
You 10 million a year now you’re not playing as much you’re not maybe as relevant in some ways I use that very lightly in some ways as he once was and he’s decided no I’m going to either sign with somebody else which I can’t really
See see that fut or he is going to launch his own brand or have a very big stake there’s rumors tailor made clothing where they’ll have you’ll obviously have a huge stake in that he does own the logo the tww logo so I’m sure we won’t be seeing that go away
That’ll stay again out and about and relevant what’s it mean does it mean anything more for is there more to this is there more about Nike maybe looking to in the future not focus much on golf they have signs of new athletes theyve got is it m Guido m whatever yeah so
They’re not going immediately but is it going to in he’s going to cost without being disrespectful buttons compared to Tiger well I think I mean you could you could sign a hundred of that type of tour pro correct you could literally you could sponsor everybody in the field at
The by Desert Classic yeah but you’ve already got Tommy and Rory for the same amount of money you were paying tiger comfortably um I it was interesting because obviously we’d heard a lot of rumors and those rumors were true it got announced a couple of weeks or last week
Um nobody was shocked I think where the real vicious rumor starts kicking because obviously it came straight after Jason day leaving Nike yeah and signing with malborn golf which is a real kind of cool more more Street Wear kind of but I don’t like what he’s been wearing
It’s out there is it it’s different it is cool but it’s not what I perceive as cool that makes sense must be cool it’s um it’s out there it’s just very different is it they’ve also signed Charlie hul I saw that Jasper pavic yeah
He’s a cool guy um I I think to be honest I think what Charlie Hull has been wearing in Mal looks really good um but she um I think that’s where it probably really part the the the uh Nike completely coming out of golf was Jason
Day leaving tiger was leaving or Pon WS whatever it may be and everyone’s like well this is it you know but obviously that I don’t think that’s going to be the case no I I don’t think Nike will be leaving golf in the in the immediate future but what I was thinking again
I’ve had as you probably tell had a long time to to dwell on this is that if you think about other sports that are big for Nike and football is arguably one of the biggest soccer for American listeners when you pay those superstars egy Ronaldo or whoever to wear your
Boots you’re doing it to first of all validate the brand and make people aware that Nike make great football boots associated with the best players greatest players but you’re also really to influence youngsters really you think about people that buy football boots yes there’ll be some people our AG you might
Play on a Sunday or F side but a lot of people are either in school using them for PA or playing for an under eight team so a lot of your customers will be younger people why you likeing I just like how you fix under Eights I don’t
Know why it done yet under 10 who will want the boots that they’re Idol wor whether that be the exact boot is often not the case but a take down version a cheaper version but I was when when I was playing football I was younger and
David Beckham was with Predator I did as Predator I was I had to have those boots absolutely like if my if my parents said no it’s going to be a different pair no I need those pair that’s the pair I need like well exactly and think about how
Much I mean obviously your little boy is getting to the point soon where he’ll be probably if not got boots but Bon he might go after his best player or whoever he whatever they were if you think about golf you have got youngsters playing golf obviously but the people
Are buying golf clothes and Equipment are a lot older than those that are buying football um boots or whatever it might be so you look at Nike signed tiger in 1996 he’s been there ever since so one thing he has massively done is is solidify their branding golf but what
He’s not do in some ways has helped necessarily shift product in every aspect because yes I’m sure they’ve s a lot of red polos and people might want to be like tiger and buy a black cap they couldn’t sell golf clubs very well even though tiger was using them and
It’s like really if any of your friends that you going to play golf with outside of work are they ever going to buy a per shoes because tiger wors them they’re going to buy what they like and what are comfortable I I feel like Nike whether this has been because of the
Partnership people buy Nike because they like Nike yeah now like if if if they see new Nike pair of golf shoeses that come out it’s like I want to buy them because I like I like Nike the brand I like you know I know they’ve done the
Cool in other areas they’re a cool shoe I want to buy them well that’s a massive thing and that’s a huge Factor so whether they’re now looking to think right Nike’s done his he’s done his you know his service he’s son his service he’s done a lot for our brand even if he
Goes on wor which he working ad Adidas Cap all those maides is won are wearing a swoosh he’s done his bit let him go and do what he wants and Chase a bit more dough fine no issue with that the other thing and it it pains me
To say this but from from Nike’s investment and what they want to spend per year does tiger still move the needle like he used to I don’t mean generically because he does generically but in terms of younger people coming into the game are they going to look at
Tiger like we did and the answer I think sadly is is no like but plays very rarely if you imagine if you’re a 10-year-old kid now you’ve got into golf because your dad plays or your mom plays and they say tigerwoods is my favorite
Player why why mom why Dad we did x y and Zed it feels like you you’re showing them history AR you’re not going to say watch him this weekend necessarily and watch him win this event maybe that’s going to be now we looking at kka or
Rory or Tommy or all these other people who are wearing the swoosh well that that is quite interesting because if you actually look at again Nike’s athletes you’ve got obviously Rory arguably the second biggest name in golf after tiger yeah would would that be fair to say
100% in this modern era what’s also interesting is is Nike didn’t drop that many athletes that move to live for example Brook keper that Brook keer has has just done a photo shoot this last week or so what’s his team now smash smash and all of the other three guys
Have got smash uniform on he’s not he’s got his still his Nike clothing on his Nike hat his swoosh on his shirt his golf shoes are still Nike like everyone else is wearing smash they pain him a decent whack like um you who was who was
I think about just a second ago there got Sheffer who arguably is the yeah well he is the best player in the world um Tommy they’ve got a lot but then the other point I was going to lead on to I think genuinely the reasons probably are
Just simply Financial but you could if you want to go down wormholes you could look at that I know that um Brooks ker had this this Nike golf shoe the smash logo on the side that obviously Nike have had to produce it’s not a collab but they’ve had to produce that shoe
Have n I’m asking the question now I’m sure I’m wrong but have Nike said we want a piece of live we want to stick with Brooks and invest in live is that where Tiger’s gone not with me you’re not and they’ve ped way I doubt it I’m
Just saying I don’t know like is there something that is Liv’s plan like each team needs to have a headline sponsor like it it needs to be at some point like smash GC could easily change to swo GC yeah that’s a good name is it SW yeah
It’s very good swoosh GC and that might convert me who knows I think sorry I think um it’s it’s a very interesting time and and um you know what though I know you’ve read the book and you bought it me very early days when I when I actually signed with Nike I mean
Arguably this is the biggest the second biggest breakup of ever athlete and Nike really well you leaving was massive T is a little bit less number three on trended on YouTube and this this was even trending nobody even talked about it um wasn’t there something about Phil
Knight just not being able to have it that tiger won his 19th major or whatever not wearing a Nike SW hat yeah I mean I read the book years ago now but I know that Phil Knight and tiger had a great relationship and if you look at
The post that tiger actually posted it was him and his mom obviously his favorite person in the world from his children and and Phil Knight and I know there’s a massive there’s a really strong relationship there I think where Nike have really probably messed up is
Just there was a tww line but they didn’t really create that movement if you look at like Jordan I know it’s a different kettle of fish with basketball and stuff but the Jordan brand brand is such a brand on its own right and it’s just gone so mainstream outside of
Basketball what was there something that could have been done with a tww line and could have had tiger even more invested I’m not sure um but we’ll see it’s interesting I do think Jordan brand is like an anormal an Yeah well yeah I just don’t see how that could have been done
In any other sport really no and and nor do I there’s no way that people are going to be wearing golf shoes out on the street like you could wear a basketball shoe which trainers ever played basketball properly but i’ I’ve got Jordan stuff I’ve got Jordan shoes
I’ve got like like I’ve just bought little Jude a little Jordan t-shirt and stuff so it’s like I feel like that was a brand that’s gone Way Beyond anything else that ever could have ever could have um anyone would have foreseen apart from Michael Jordan maybe himself but um
Yeah very very interesting February is teen up at the Genesis where we will he all will be revealed what right now watch your ual prediction yeah what’s he going to be wearing all right okay brand wise I think it’s pretty straightforward I think he’ll either be wearing Taylor
Made apparel and he will obviously have a massive percentage stake in that brand so he’ll be earning More Than This 20 million pound a year that dollars he was wor using get getting paid off Nike or his own tww line that is maybe somebody else obvious actually manufactures it
Just sells as a tww logo and it might even look quite similar he’s still going to wear in Sunday red isn’t he and black TRS as a guess with his foot Joy shoes I think those are the two I can’t see anybody else I don’t know well the
Rumors I’m not saying these are the things but the the rumors the Grayson one so Grayson who sponsor Justin Thomas there’s rumors there I just can’t see that but there’s there’s rumors foot Joy can’t see that I can’t see that one bit um there let me I’ve written down the
Other day where I write him and uh it’s on a chat um and then Tade clothing is probably the most likely I think the big thing is that you know I think sometimes when you follow a golfer or whatever and you become a fan of them and you might
Purchase things because they have got them or you might not whatever but you associate them being with the brand being a real partnership and it is but it’s all due to money let’s be honest like I’m sure Ty get liked the Nike products but he was wearing them and
Using them because he was getting paid a hell of a lot of money he’s only dropped them because he’s not getting the money that he now wants I’m sure that’s as simple as that I’m you’d like to think that he would have wanted to keep tiger
Surely so he has to be making surely in excess of $20 million a year it’d have to be 5x that you think so so like if if he’s going to leave let’s say Nike listen T we’re not going to do 20 million we’re going to do 15 and
Somebody offered him 20 I can’t he’s not grumbling over 5 million is he exactly so someone’s coming and said I reckon like say the clothing brand whether it’s ta made or someone else saying we’re going to give you this much share and we can almost guarantee you’re going to
Make a 100 million over the next 10 year like every year for the next 10 years maybe even longer well and and the last last thing on this before before we move on something else is that yeah he’s getting paid a nice amount off Nike every year but there’s going to be a
Point and it’s going to be soonish let’s be honest where his career does come to an end and his playing career comes to an end if he has a big stake or his own company that goes on to do well and can even get a small percentile of the
Success that Jordan never gotten it Tiger’s own brand I’m just going to say that set him up for Life he’s already set up for life but that would be the game changer from like a business standpoint that would set up his his 10th generational grandchild for Life yeah think about
Simple math currently is’s only doing the eighth generational grandchild well if you buy tww hat now and in theory a penny of that if that goes towards Tiger’s 20 million a year if you buy tww hat and it’s his own brand and he gets x
Amount of that which is going to be a lot more it makes sense you can shift product which I’m sure you can I totally totally get the decision it’s just um it it’ll be interesting to see in Feb the other rumor I heard you didn’t mention
Which is a bit of a coincidence maybe it’s just a coincidence maybe there’s more to it I don’t know you tell me was that you release your own merch and then he stops wearing Nike like come on I mean I’m glad you brought it up guy because there is some breaking news Tiger
Woods can’t believe I’m saying this will not be wearing RS merch I’m afraid but if you do want to get some RS merch check it out Rick shields.com shop I believe some of the certain products have been selling out thick and fast and some of them actually nearly sold out
You said to me this morning like literally it is getting so close to almost full sellout on the whole website wow so like get it genuinely I reckon it won’t last for the next week or so before everything on the website is sold out and then we’ll you’ll have to wait
For stock to be replenished which might not be there quick to be honest well I saw quite a lot why you way I think you were showing a few on your stor quite a lot of people out on the golf course with the head covers certainly some of
The clubhouse head covers which is great to see I’ve got the clubhouse head cover it’s very very nice part of the club I don’t guy you are the clubhouse I’m not sure how you can get much closer to being the clubhouse but for our beloved listeners if you do want to get involved
There are still some more of the clubhouse head covers left check it out Rick shields.com shop uh you do not want to miss out on honestly genuine the last bits of stock um before we have to shut the shop for a period of time before we replenish do
You want a few questions I would love some so we’ve had some questions asked on Twitter and we’ve also had as always some um in the Facebook group if you’re not a member of the Facebook group join it it’s free totally free there all your stuff’s free apart from your merch
That’s better not no that’s the only thing you everything’s free apart from the merch um Jazz little would have said were is and put it in this tone by the way by the way sorry quick one if you are to buy more merch then who knows maybe maybe Tiger Woods maybe we could
Convince Tiger Woods to come so we need to pay him $21 million a year okay so good luck everyone buy a head cover help um G’s littlewood has said where is the Ping driver review and why is it late like last year’s was do you guys have
Something against ping yes you go I’ve used the driver for three years I AB I absolutely hate the brand um the simple answer and it’s and it’s it’s a decision we take on the amount of upload loads that take place at the start of the year so if we would so I’m
Sure people who hardcore listeners will know this at the start of the Year Brands will release the Embargo on a product and typically you’ll open your YouTube feed that day and every Tom Dick Canary has got a the dick of load this I watch Tom and Harry on Miss dicks oh yes
That’s you the big dick why do you get coffee all the time it’s like when it’s like when I’m laughing it’s like a laugh cough um the you’ll see on YouTube feed everyone has released then their driver review and this year I think similar to even last time the Ping’s driver release
Clashed with the Cobra driver release I think it was actually Taylor Made Taylor Made silly on them so the Ping embargo released at the same day as the tailor made embargo and we didn’t think it was fair for either brand to release both videos on the same day and even the day
After so we’ve we’ve get had that bit of breathing space all the videos have been released or filmed already being edited as we speak as of like the actual Pingu videos out today the 16th of Jan um but yeah the tailor made and ping were just
Too close so we decided to separate it because we can well just done that that’s glad you said because we can it’s a very good point we can like that’s the thing that we have a very loose relationship with these Brands we’ve explained it many times before but one
More time they send us information about the product we sign something to say yeah sends this information we will not leak it and if we do we’re responsible take us to court Etc um they then often will send us the physical product or fit
You for a product we then test it in our own unbiased way and on that date that the contract we’ve signed says we can release the video doesn’t mean we have to release the video doesn’t say you have to release video if you were and
This isn’t a dig but some of the tailor made ambassadors like um Grant horv and mik Morris Etc have done tail made product because they’re sponsored they’re openly sponsored athletes they will have to Wi their contract relas videos at set times that’s just part of
It we don’t so if we release the Ping video a week later or two weeks later or not even review at all that’s up to us there’s certain things like a tailor made driver where you know there’s a lot of excitement a lot of Buzz so we’d be
Quite naive not to hit that embargo time because you want that most engagement on our video let’s be honest but we release them when we want and also you’ll see like golf magazines will release every products on embargo day exactly but again there’s a bit of control there from the brands because
They pay for advertising space in the magazine so the kind of magazines have to hit certain embargos we don’t have to do that so it’s been reviewed it will be coming out um well it is coming out today so enjoy it sit back relax ping G4
The brand new ping the brand new for 2024 ping g430 Max 10K driver so you could watch your review where you say if it’s good bad or in different or you could know that I use it now do you I would sell drivers and people go well that’s that
Guy ch it uses must be good have those videos been released yet have you using no but I do use it and I’m telling people now and maybe that’ll sell drivers maybe I of the new Tiger Woods maybe I can get 20 quid a off Nike imagine that imagine that three gear and
20 quid a done I’m so um Martin Brown has asked R this is a comment that got quite a few likes and I’ve seen this around the the internet in the corners of the web are you playing the good good live event in February and if so who with
Unfortunately I’m not um I know I’m not and and the reason being we’ve got a trip in the end of January that is we’re actually in America till kind of almost the start of February but then need to be back it’s a long trip we’re filming a
Lot of content to then try and add on another trip only four five days later for across the country in Arizona to try and be over there for an extra three or four days it’s just logistically not possible I wish I wish I could I wish
I’d known a bit more about it I wish I’d had a bit more of a heads up maybe even from the guys at good good to say listen this is on the radar you know save the date so to speak because I would have definitely played in it i’ would have
Loved to have played in it um who my partner would have been who knows um maybe maybe Mr charuk maybe someone else but it unfortunately this time I cannot do it good luck to the lads uh I think it’s going to be an amazing event live
Streamed on YouTube check out is it 8th of Feb uh I believe it is yeah around that time eth of Feb everybody watching this video be sure to tune in to the live feed of good good uh two man scramble I think it’s going to be epic but unfortunately this time around I
Cannot make playing it and also the thing is if we if you had have played and if I had have played with you we probably would have won it and got the money in the trophy it’s just too predictable like there’s no point watching something if you know it’s
Going to happen exactly so what be the point um but yeah that that’s all it is it’s no there’s no spite there’s no oh good good to doing this first and all this Jazz nothing like that it’s just logistically I think I get back on the
Whether it’s the first or second of Feb i’ would have already been away for 10 days to then be away for another week and week and a bit put your kids first F being away for another week and a bit straight after that just it just logistically wouldn’t have worked I
Think it as well like what people I’m sure they do realize but you have got a young family and stuff so it’s a lot to to juggle to balance if I was if I was young Lads like good good with not a not a care in the world be there with
Wonderful hair and great abs big massive muscles and hits it dead far well yeah it’s dead easy then is it but I’m not an old man with three kids who needs to needs to be back but yeah unfortunately if there’s another one I’d love to be
Involved um we can’t go now turn the first one down oh and if and if uh we we’re still I know it didn’t happen last year and I’m sorry for that but we are still looking at trying to create a live event with all YouTube golfers as well
So stay tuned for that me because I’m sure Nate Edwardson will do a video on this bit now so I’m give him some more to to clink on to come on Nate you’s got to make a video out there so it’s hard like I’ve said it before it’s hard to
Try and do a live stream event some of the live stream stuff that goodg been releasing this last few weeks has been very impressive Inc very impressive um I’d love to know how they’re doing that I chat to the guys to do that but even that even what they’re doing right now
Is it just one group isn’t it thing it’s amazing we need 10x or 18 mean we’re trying to do that on 18ho whole golf course I’d love to see how they’re live streaming the the two man scramble on the 8th of feed because that’s a mammoth
Effort it really is um one that at the moment I just don’t know where to start so unfortunately it’s not going to happen straight away but if we can figure out an answer then we’ll get it we’ll get it done you know what on that again heads up if people haven’t been
Aware but good good have done a few live videos already and the quality is it’s unbelievable but I’ve not really looked into it too much but I wonder what the actual demand is for live content like that like I know they’re dipping the toone in the water and trying something
It’s really cool to see other people trying experimental things I think it’s exciting that people are doing that but like I actually wonder and I’m sure people are watching out of intrigue but if that is a future in in golf YouTube or is it not like the
Answer and and this is not for one second sounding sounding um it’s not trying to word the word this correctly I’ve done live golf content before like I’ve I’ve live streamed many times before back in the past granted not to the same quality but the views were
Always much lower like the views were nowhere near as as high because people just couldn’t tune in at that time and do you then tune into a live video afterwards no not really I think the reason I asked that question I don’t I almost don’t feel qualified to comment
Because I know that live streaming is a massive thing now in some Industries like you look at I show speed or whatever and they getting millions of followers and it’s something that I don’t literally physically subscribe to I don’t watch it I have no interest in
It but obviously a lot of people do we know that good Good’s audience is a little bit younger than ours typically some crossover of course but whether the younger audience are more into live who knows but it’s exciting to see which way it goes just it’s a I mean I think the
One that did even just this weekend was like three hours long yeah it’s like are people watching for that amount of time or they just dipping in dipping out are they double screening double screening a double screen um have you ever triple screened I bet you have quad please let
Me think how you could quad screen TV got the golf on yeah laptop pretending you’re working we just having to kind of look at emails just looking through phone and an iPad iPad yeah what’s on the iPad um live um live fishing no I think the iPad
Is a YouTube video of like how to stop procastinating how how to how to stop trying to do too much at once and you’re watching that kind of halfen in while you’re all on Tik Tok and you reading emails watching the Telly the iPad saying how to live stream a 18-hole golf
Event why does nobody watch my live streams yeah anyway who knows um I’ve got two more questions from Facebook these will be a bit quicker I guess Paul Robson you kind of answered this already Rick but will Rick be putting a new driver in the bag this year or staying
With the Ping G25 got a controversial shout here guy I’ve been thinking this no driver just three-wood no no not at all I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit actually well I reckon for the last couple of years I started the Year by saying I’m going to do everything I
Can to change nothing in my bag yeah would you say I’ve been on records to say that yeah that all goes out the window new six I want new everything nice old Bluey gone even roll putter gone y wedges I don’t even know what wed wedg is gone Tan’s gone ping driver gone
Wow the Prov one oh don’t do that that’s too far now rock with like a Muno ball next this is a future I could see go on talk to me a little insight to the F this is where my head’s going at the moment Cobra driver ping or tailor made 3 wood yeah
Slash fourwood okay doesn’t offend me I really really really want to walk down memory lay my irons keep that TI three by the way I think that’s one you should keep ah I don’t know okay anyway get rid of it burn it where I’m gen my heart’s
Looking a little bit at the moment yeah and they’ve been through a Rebrand and I think they even look better I know what you’re going to say here I fancy going back to Wilson irons wedges no idea V sm10 baby I think sm10 and then a Sky Cameron p I’ve
Actually got Scotty C put her on order oh yeah another one and then last thing yeah come Bridgestone Golf Ball wow that that’s just where my head’s flying at the moment wow so Bridgestone Golf Ball great ball but just yeah okay yeah do you do it’s going to be different all in
A vessel bag all in a vessel bag nice um last question from um Facebook and a little quick couple of twitters before we lock this thing up from Paul krooks what was the highlight of filming with Bryson the Highlight go was just him like he is such an uh interesting but also quite
Complex character he is he is fullon determined passionate energetic a ridiculous athlete like he is up close how hits his driver so far so straight sorry he’s on about Bryson he talking about me here you heard the question I was like coming on 40 a day
Um how long he h it and how straight he it is ridiculous he he’s a he’s a he’s a very complex character which I think I think that’s any but I think sometimes the the perception of him being complex and actually spending time with him he’s he’s just he’s a very in-depth character
I think whatever he would have done in life he would have he would have left no uh stone unturned I like that uh a few super quick Twitter or X as it’s now obviously called questions do you ever call it x no it’s Twitter is it Twitter in it
Yeah it’s Twitter in it tter put on your grave um Mark Styles has said if you play a pass 69 Golf Course would it only really count as breaking 100 if you shoot a 96 um so it’s so that’s way it’s 27 over part like it would be on a par
72 oh I thought you meant like 6,900 yards no so we saying that normally obviously most golf courses are par 72 so to break 100 you have to shoot 27 over par if you shoot you know if it’s a pass 69 you’ve got a lot more shots to
Play with does it really count yeah I think it does I think you can you can just about get away with the pass 69 and still break any any Target you want to break yeah but I agree but when you see somebody like on the 59 watch on the PJ
Tour some on a p 70 yeah it doesn’t feel the same if it’s on 72 it’s like wow oh no yeah definitely yeah it’s um it’s interesting um from Paul has said um would you ever consider joining team tailor maid after the Fourplay guys got a video with Tiger
Woods it was a very good video that those explain it for people who haven’t seen it four player a huge podcast B Sports got obviously golf videos as well they did a video with eldri yeah they uh they by tlor made I think you know what
Though I don’t think it’s a a guarantee I think I think there’s a lot of so for for argument sake me my golf friends of ours and the impers they’ve been signing with tail maade since they were born right they came out the womb and got burner straight in there you go they’ve
Never had time with Tiger Woods don’t believe so not a video like that Grant and Micah who also signed with with uh tail made theyve had time with Tiger Woods um there been a lot of times where you think that these sponsored people would definitely get time for Tiger
Woods from looking at the the conversation that happened after that video with tiger and the lads it very much seems like Joe laava is a huge Fourplay fan and there’s kind of conversations there and I think Joe’s kind of gone to taret no these Lads are good you know it’s almost like yeah
Shoot a video with those Lads I think from what I read into it I think they’ve they’ve met him a number of times and he knows a lot of them off the first name basis which is really cool I’m sure they obviously love that so there’s that then
You there’s the Joe laava thing but also what was really funny about it was he obviously knows them you can tell he felt comfortable around them he was giving them handshakes and dapping them all up Etc which is which again was cool for them but even with all that said and
Done at a tailor made shoot it still was on quite a tight schedule 15 minutes and you could tell I mean don’t the video was phenomenal it was so good they they really utilize the time well for play to those guys and they’re reaping their rewards on views for play to those guys
Yeah well nice um but you could tell and Al low tiger did want to chat them a little bit and gave them a little bit more time than he probably had to even then it was still kind of quite military but you know what it showed me a little
Bit tiger Knows YouTube didn’t he yeah did you see what he did did yeah to rigs because rigs was going to go first he went no no no you go last I’ve got a little surprise for you cuz he knew about retention well maybe that’s the
Case he knew he knew exactly what he was doing when he said to rig’s go last and then to get on there and cuz if you noticed the conversation at the start is like he went back to his boogie and he was asking for a golf ball oneall one
Ball and then when he came back he kind of just always had this idea that he’s going to put a little surprise in there for Rigs and then steps up there hits one off the knees goes viral everywhere done um can you make me a promise that
I’ll be here next week I want every single week this year as much as possible let’s it’s 52 weeks in the year we’ve already missed a few so let’s go how many weeks have we missed three two two two weeks to yeah well technically no cuz the first week was like the first

No hats? I'm confused
Lovely white teeth Guy 🤣
Not a good anuff reason not to be at the good good tournament your losing a lot of respect within the youtube space being a no show.
100% agree I went and got fit for a 430 max. Thinking I will get a new ping in 2 years. Then boom the 10k is the best driver ever. Now I'm pissed. Ping guy but might be going to a taylormade
Nike is a big sponsor of liv
Any chance we can stop having the same LIV conversation everytime there's a PGA event, feel like I've heard the same reasoning 10x over now 😂 other than that, another great one again!
Just seen the title! Bag of hybrids? 😉
It's not the tools but the carpenter.
Holiday in Dubai to escape work/golf when the whole golfing world is in Dubai….methinks not!
Far too long to be away!! Looking forward to 2024 content!
Dont matter who joins LIV, i couldnt care less! Not interested in whos won a big amount of money PGA titles are what count at the end of the day!
Hope everyone had a great holiday! Glad you guys are back!
I’m clicking that like button before I watch the videos now lol. Welcome back boys! Excited for this one
Has Rick got COVID?
Would love you see you get fit for your clubs! Like if you agree👇 (Rick won't pin this comment)
Soccer shoes vs football boots, crazy to think we are speaking the same language.
Wondering what happened to the HIT channel and this podcast not uploading for months
ricks looking healthy
What's happening to the H.I.T channel?
The duel in the desert
The W/S new staff irons are too sexy to ignore
Rick why don’t yall talk about pxg driver?!
Good Good is working with NBC for the Feb. 7th livestream event.
55:00 where's the respect for Rick's club and ball choices? Just because something doesn't validate your own preferences doesn't mean someone else's are inferior. Pretty sad
Do you think Nike might start to sponsor Charlie instead of Tiger?
Keeps the partnership plus gets the younger audience once Charlie is old enough to join a tour
Thought Rik had lost all his hair for a second 😀I agree on driver release they need to do it spring time, winter is dumb apart from countries in the southern hemisphere.
Rick loves the Cobra release this year because he designed it.
Michael Jordan still sells sneakers and he hasn't played since the '90s. I think tigers legacy could still live on like Jordans in the game of golf. Jordan now has golf line that people are buying as well
Because, after everyone buys their family members and themselves last years golf equipment, they buy more at the start of the next season.
whats the golf bag he mentioned?
Cobra’s an old lady golfer brand.
I love the new driver talk this time of year. When I got (back) into golf last year I had no true bias or preference on driver branding. I tried a few TM, Ping, and Callaway. I ended up with the Paradym and couldn't be happier with my decision since I tried all 3 and hit that the best. P.S. I was hoping to be like Rick and go with the Ping, but I just couldn't hit it as well as the Callaway.
Would love to see you go through the PLD fitting for a custom process
When Rick vs jimmy bullard
THE PODCAST IS BACK thsnks guys hope your holidays were great
Pro golf is only about greed right now, has killed it for me, haven't watched in over a year and doubt I will again, 100% YouTube golf at this point, personally the Grant Garrett reunion match meant more then any of the tournaments this year.
Great to see you both again! Happy New Year! Rick looking well tanned hope ready for 2024, are you at the good good open?
