Hi - Do you do your putting on the Fiberbuilt hitting section?

I'm good with Rick's move. I'm not a fan of Liv, however, If I were a content creator, it makes perfect sense.

These clips are 2 years old when LIV was just starting. Amazon, in its 1st year, was an online book store. Are we selling out because the majority of us use them now? No

I saw this coming. I believe this is a means of him using LIV for content. Yes, LIV will get a boost from this too. Yes, the teams on LIV will also have some more publicity and following and growth. But the biggest gainer in this is RICK! He is a content creator and this has provided content for him. AND THAT IS GOOD FOR HIM BUSINESS WISE. I see this as business.

Good luck to Rick,, but I'm no live fan. Have tried watching but no interest.

Great deal for rick, I believe he will grow his brand further and I love the opportunity for new content. I think alot of people are sorry it’s not them doing it 😉

Liv is just such a bad product it’s just exhibition golf with no stakes.

The ‘Elephant in the room’ is that LIV golf as a tv spectator sport is $¥|t!! I don’t blame the players or Rick for grabbing the cash, ($50,000pa? I’d have asked for more to sell out!), The fact is it’s just not exciting. Maybe I’m missing it but where does it begin and end? Where’s ‘team’ game? There’s no finale. They seem to be trying to reinvent golf and failing. Throwing endless $$$ at it and being enthusiastic is not going to cut it. Golf is the loser!

I don't mind the liv tour, actually I enjoy the golf being played their. I can't stand hypocrite people though and Rick has proven with this move he is one. Do I blame him to take the money of course not but if he was a man of his word he would have declined the offer.

This is just my opinion but I don't think he's a hypocrite. His biggest thing was a club sponsor he never wanted because it would make his reviews seem biased. Whenever he criticized LIV it always came off as things they can do better not necessarily from a standpoint of being against LIV.

All the golf KZbin's are mad because they wish it was them good for Rick Shields.Make that money for you and your family

💴 💵 💰 💰 💵 💰 💰 and good luck to him. Rickly deserved. (See what I did there)

I know think those honest conversations about liv are what people enjoy about his podcast. Feels like the propaganda will begin

No issue with the move other than the hippocrasy. He constantly talked junk about golf being a money based sport and the second he can grab the bag he does. I also think it's not a coincidence that he makes this move after the PGA began their creator stuff and he hasn't been around or invited to any of it.

Yes. 1 second video.

Hope LIV has some great headcovers because we all know Rick values that so much when recommending a club.

Just remember guys, you have the attachment with Rick, he is the Entertainer, not the other way around, yes he hasn't really been true to himself here, however, as one door closes, another one opens.

Could it be that, as RS was obviously annoyed at not being invited to the craeator cup, he chose this because LIV understood that he was "hurt" and saw his chance for revenge? Is this just a "I'll show you" move that played LIV in the hands and RS in the wallet? Whatever it is, I'm more skeptical and disappointed than positive. I will watch his videos anyway, but I think he has ruined the charm of YT golf for him. He now becomes too commercial and then loses the nice movies with him and guests (Guy, Finch, etc.) where I, as an everyday golfer, could identify myself. The movies he did with Sergio, Ian etc that come from LIV were not even close to as nice to watch as with other players, and light years away from when he played his break 75 or matches against Pete... I see this as a real loss in person, but will probably watch anyway.

I like the golf and the course isn't that's what's its about enjoy watch great golfer competitiing

What difference does it matter I don't understand he is a utuber

The answer is yes, Rick has sold out the sport.

Utter sellout. Won't watch anything with him again, the greedy git.

Man has taken a shit load of cash for this LIV situation.. He used to be a Driving Range Pro .. Can you blame him .

There's been a push to draw KZbin viewers to watching professional golf, we've seen it with the Creator Classic, Bryson creating bangers, Grant and Phil and even Luke Kwon, this is just a natural progression, if it wasn't Rick, someone else would have stepped in, what I would like to say this is a link between YT and Pro Golf and will give us, for better or worse, more golf to watch. Fingers crossed, we could even see all our favourite YT playing an extra member in a Liv team??

He's a sellout.

The number of subscribers he lost is the same as the viewers of a LIV event. It's not entertaining and no one seems to get that. You can cover it any way you want it's not watchable. Good luck in obscurity in the irreLIVant tour.

Say it ain't so , Rick! Entering the MAGA, LIV dark side! I am through with your hypocrisy, Mr Shiels! Blood money! Blood money!

Rick and Guy where generally negative to LIV in tone and attitude the same as the majority of his subscribers' comments. Poor Rick is now being attacked by his anti LIV followers and his pro LIV followers. Rumours are he was paid $10mill for multi year deal,,Good Luck Rick.

This was a must for the survival of professional golf. KZbin golf is the future, but it still needs professional golf to be relevant. The marriage of the two was or needed to happen. Rick is taking a lot of knee jerk reactions from this, but he is our Dark Knight.

You think you PGA loyalist would love it, Rick made the same move Jay Monahan made.

So looks like people have no right to change their opinion once is out there on social. He's experimenting with something that might be cool or not, either way is probably a one-year contract and If it doesn't work for him and his audience next year he'll just come back to his roots. I dont see how this affects his credibility reviewing equipment at least.

IMO Liv opens the game to a wider audience and will only serve to broaden the base and bring more people to the game. Happy for Rick.. and not particularly tied to either Liv or PGA - I just love golf

He sold out but it’s his right but it’s his followers right to leave but he knew that and knew the money outweighed the less followers.

LIV team thing will never catch on UNLESS they actually do team tournaments and not have individual winners other then thats its just another tourney with guys wearing the same shirt.

Yes

Went to Golf Tech in Little Rock Arkansas yesterday and got fitted for the Ping I530’s. The 7 iron is going 35 yards further than my JPX 919’s. Swing speed went up 17 mph. Payton was my fitter. Super guy he also worked with me on my shoulders being square at address. I was bombing the 7 iron 175 yards. All my stuff that was important to my fitting was in the green. Which means (GOOD). I tried other heads and shafts with not as good a results. Went with the modus 105 shaft. Made the purchase and waiting on arrival.😊 If you’re considering new irons give these a try.

I don't understand why people hate, if you don't like don't watch it. Every reactor has put out a negative click bait title. He's a businessman, give me a break. What he loses he's gonna make back interms of views and viewers.That does include the money he's getting upfront.

I think he felt slighted when he didnt get an invite for the PGA created Creator Tourny. Dude is playing chess and leveraging his talent and fan base to support his family. Fault him as you may but thats only your problem not his. As for losing 10k subs im sure a .3% decrease doesnt bother him in the slightest.

Unfortunately the PGA didn't invite him to their events (PGA short sighted blinkers on as usual) so why wouldn't cover LIV. I think it's a strength to critic LIV (he has said good and bad things in an objective way) and then cover their events. Sure he would do the same for DP World Tour (the best most global and international tour), Asian Tour and PGA if asked.

Money is real. Get over it keyboard warriors. Proud of Rick for making money like a boss.

Yeah, he’s a hypocrite, but let’s be real-we’ve all been there at some point. As long as he’s upfront about the money being a big reason instead of pretending it was all about content, there’s no issue. I don’t blame him one bit for taking the cash-just be honest about it.

Love it. Go Rick!

He sold out years ago, happy for him some blind backers have chosen to support yet another grifter...

He’s a businessman not Mother Teresa. For those who are disappointed, I suspect those are the type of people who go to a Strip Club and genuinely believe “Amber” is really in love with them

That is one awesome training facility you've set up. The only possible flaw I noticed is that you appear to be shifting your weight to your trailing side in the back swing rather than keeping it on your lead side as Jim instructs. Other than that it looks like you're doing quite well and I want to thank you for sharing.

Rick lost 10K subs in one day after this announcement. I'm sure he will make it back soon enough but leave your thoughts on the LIV deal below!

Per WWF Wrestler Hulk Hogan: "Everyone cuts their own deal brother!" Let Rick go on and make a living for himself and his family for God's sake!

I'm a huge LIV fan but RS is a hypocrite

I guess I’ve got to start watching LIV.

I have no problem in one way... he is a businessman who has decided to take an avenue which will generate him the most income. Fair enough. But for me, am gone from his channels. He has always made hay out of being independent, not signed to a club deal etc etc. All gone. He is now paid to be a cheerleader and nothing else. I watched a bit of the announcement and the irony of him enthusiastically talking about the LIV teams made me want to puke
