Rick is a sell out
Haven’t watched a Shiels video in 3 years….now I’ll have to put up with him again on LIV 😂 oh well, as long as his annoying co-host isn’t part of the package then I’ll get used to it. The golf bureaucracy needs a ‘Trump’ type figure to drain it, which was Greg Norman, but now a new one is required…
Great podcast chaps!🤝
I'm surprised Shiels and LIV are working together. Shiels was not a fan but maybe has seen the light in terms of $$. WIth Shiels popularity internationally it makes sense that LIV makes a deal with him. I don't think LIV needs a guy like Shiels to help grow their product now that we have FOX. But, they see something not all LIV fans see by signing on Shiels.
hi guys
I’d still watch Rick to be honest like his vids, but can see why people are getting the hump, certainly it’s a bit contradictory after slating Liv but… money talks and he’s doing what’s best for his channel, no doubt people will still watch me including,
GUY (LIV is trash) is now a big problem for Ricks deal with LIV . Guy and Rick admit they don't watch LIV broadcast, then make negative comments.
Not a fan of RS podcast with Guy especially, they watch a highlight package of even pgatour events instead of doing proper research. Then they often make inaccurate comments. I dont mind his club review channel, i understand LIV doing this but this could be a big miss for LIV
Roll and bowl irons makes perfect sense to me.
PING also go to Asian tour International series events
Shiels went to a LIV event a year or so ago, probably was given lots of backstage access and VIP perks, and changed his mind on it, but tried to keep it looking like a "slow coming around to LIV". Guy is basically just a bumlick and has no real opinions, he'll just go with whatever Rick says/does.
Give me your way too early top picks for this year
