20:19 - the leaders' group tees off 10-15 minutes after the shotgun start, so the final two groups start on 1 and finish on 18

[@CAM-hc8ip]

That’s an awesome idea! Good on them

[@Matthersch77]

I watched the last round of LIV this weekend, and after watching much of the PGA tour for a while, I was riveted with the way it ended and actually some of the best players in the world right now are in LIV I think. I like the shorter round time as a viewer and feel there is room for different leagues as needed. Golf isn’t a monopoly, it’s a sport, a game, that all can enjoy.

[@jamessala10]

If they would go to another network it would be better. You can barely even read the player names on the screen and so on but overall I’m much more interested in the collective of players for LIV, unless it’s a major for the PGA tour.

[@chaselleprice2833]

That last day at LIV is always exciting especially the team format. You have guys who might not be competing for the individual tournament but their score counts for the team. It’s non stop action and we watch it on LIV Golf + and absolutely no commercials like the PGAT.

[@Chris-zt7re]

Can’t take you seriously if you watched LIV this weekend and didn’t mention 19 year old Caleb Surratt on Rahm’s team. Every young college golfer in the States was watching him. Kid makes 5 birdies in a row coming down the stretch on Sunday.

[@doug8515]

It's just another negative view from one person who happens to hate LIV

[@chevy4x466]

@@alexsamain812apparently most young players want to play liv.

[@jaredmeyer7789]

1. Stingers are a fully South African team so not only aussies have a full team 2. Dean Burmy, Louis Oost, Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace all have Sunshine tour cards that allowed them to play in co-sanctioned sunshine tour and DP World tour events

[@chaselleprice2833]

Not too much reference on this but both Dean Burmester and Louis Oosthuizen each won 2 DP world tour events and neither one broke into the OWGR top 100 yet you have an amateur who was ranked #4129 win the PGAT Amex (his first made cut) and jumped to #68 in the OWGR.

[@ik-ip9id]

I"m not sure about KZbin, but LIV is free to watch on their app as well as the CW network and a few regional networks in the U.S.. I appreciate that it is so much easier to watch than the PGA Tour. To watch the PGA you have to constantly switch between ESPN, Golf Network, Peacock, and CBS just to watch it all which is insane whereas with LIV I just open the app. I wish the PGA would sign a single TV contract with someone so it isn't such a pain to watch.

[@skitvaddetvartrist]

Rick, fun to hear your thoughts on LIV. Positives and negatives. Please do the same with a PGA Tour event. That would be interesting 🙂

[@kennethbnorris]

I like the team concept, and I think it made a bigger impact on the tournament than Rick and Guy seem to realize. I like the Crushers (mainly because I enjoy watching Bryson play). Bryson wasn’t having a great tournament, but it made me notice Howell and Casey more since they were playing well and moved the Crushers up to second on the final day. Same thing for Legion XIII. The 19 year old, Surratt, may have just been a footnote normally, but his play was more impactful, especially when combined with Hatton’s Sunday run. With Rahm stalling on Sunday, those two propelled Legion XIII to the team win, with every shot from every team member mattering. Pick your favorite player, watch a few of their team videos on KZbin to get to know the rest of the team, root for the team. Not that complicated really. To me, it just brings another point of interest to watch. Considering this league has only had two full years, I’ve been surprised to find the last few LIV events much more compelling to watch than those the PGA have televised. Plus, it’s hard to argue against the star power of LIV when you look at the leaderboard at any given time.

[@andybt3989]

I like the Crushers because of how Bryson engages with the public.

[@tomeferreira3121]

I'm not going to lie, watching Liv this weekend, It has grown on me and I'm starting to be invested in it.

[@KirklandSmith4]

Same for me. I’ve got ESPN+ and you see a commercial after a certain amount of shots. Love the nonstop action from LIV. I set my VPN to the UK and throw it up on KZbin, great stuff

[@dalefurniss3724]

Same. It does feel better now. The bigger names are there. It was always going to take time. People are impatient and shortsighted. The first ever season of football surely wasn’t great. Look at it now. Same with anything.

[@ewenspencer2028]

I watched it LIV for the first time and genuinely really enjoyed it. The field is amazing and felt the production was really good. I do agree though the commentary was not great at all. I also love the fantasy game element. There is a huge market for that and made me far more interested in some players I wouldn’t otherwise care about. Hope they expand on that. The mic’d up element is great as well!

Didn't eve watch the Pebble beach event, watched Liv for the first time, actually enjoyed it. Pretty interesting. I liked the team aspect of it.

They’ve taught me a few words 😂

[@dgad7270]

Joe Blogs is what makes the PGA tour a superior product, The desire to make a name for oneself and surprise the veterans is inherently relatable and entertaining,

[@TitleWaive1]

Would like an equal pros/cons list evaluating PGA event/coverage. Seems LIV is under a lot more of a microscope. BTW Rick, they do order final round by leaderboard. Crowd attendance was similar to any Hawaii PGA event. Both locations are tourist areas. Biggest negative with PGA is the commercials and media worship of certain players.

[@chaselleprice2833]

Commercials on the PGAT are beyond annoying, we watch LIV on their App and absolutely no commercials.

[@MegaTimtheman]

Theres aspects of liv that i like and dont like. But ive always liked shot gun starts as every player plays in the same conditions with wind etc

[@chevy4x466]

The shotgun start is great

[@iagoil]

The sound of the ball going into the hole is one of the most enjoyable things on LIV. And IT'S THE REAL SOUND captured from a mic.

[@chevy4x466]

I love liv, but it is a fair criticism

[@ericsmata]

Hating on liv for having commercials while the pga tour is on regular TV with commercials is crazy

[@andybt3989]

The commercials have a Golf break during pga tour events.

[@AllMyHobbies]

@@andybt3989no they don't. They just show taped shots when the commercials are over

Also, we gonna talk about the fact that the PGA tour played a 54 hole no cut tournament that their players got world rankings points from 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

[@SamBrown-hi1oh]

Liv was awesome and Guy should really be watching it since he hosts a golf podcast, poor on his behalf

[@pzazzcreativemedia7205]

Myself and friends were the very first members of the public in at the very first event at bedminster, even managed to speak to the LIV marketing team. From a fans perspective it was great, especially PGA tour itself split off from the European tour to set itself up and basically entice all the best European players to it. PS I quite like that the good and the bad shots are captured unlike the other tours which are heavily edited.

[@DTMinimax]

I agree with you about the commentating…I wish David could just be himself and not so bridled. Thanks for honest reviews of LIV instead of just bashing it. I’ve been a fan from the beginning and have watched very little PGA Tour. I would much rather watch the DOD king working on his Soft Mitts with Martin B. LIV is like KZbin golf. It’s meant to reach a different audience, and that’s what it’s doing. Now I’m almost 60, but I’m all in. Honestly, I am annoyed by the same things you’re annoyed by, they have some work to do, but you can’t see so many of the best players in the world taking shots anywhere else. Caleb was the blight of the week! Just turned Pro, 4 putted, recovered, and helped his team win. That’s a huge story. I’m still struggling to see why you’re having such a hard time with the team aspect. Pick one already and get on board. Pick a team Rick! It will change your experience.

[@darrenbehan10]

Rick, you mention about the fields for LIV and Waste Management this weekend. Can you get excited about the WM event when the top players are Scheffler, JT, Homa, Burns, Spieth, MWL, Young, Fitz and Clark. Do you honestly think that list competes favourably against the LIV field? I just can't get excited about that, regardless of the Par 3 which is actually a crap hole with pissed people shouting.

[@andrewharle450]

Rick - “my positives….. tuned in for Rahm’s tee shot… turned it off” good start on the positive list 😂

[@nater6198]

I agree with Guy, if LIV players get world ranking points and are allowed to play in majors, it would create an almost champions league like majors where the best players from different leagues(tours) come together to compete and create a bit of rivalry

[@ladgolf6330]

Rick, Guy - we’ve watched LIV from the outset,and obviously we’re at Centurion last year. There’s no doubt the addition of Rahm, Hatton, and Meronk has added some more familiarity to the line up - especially for the European viewers. I’ll admit I was struggling to get the concept of the teams in the early days, but stick with it, the more you watch it, the more you’ll start to see the sub plots that the team element brings, it does add a lot to the event,m. You won’t have a team that you are fully supportive of like you have in football, but you’ll find you get an affinity with a number of teams for differing reasons. For me and Jamie it’s Crushers - Cos of Bryson, Rangegoats - great marketing concept and Bubba, and Fireballs - we lived in Spain and Sergio chucked Jamie a signed ball at Centurion. For me, it’s hands down better viewing than the PGAT, irrespective of players, but LIV have got such a strong line up now it just adds to that. The series isn’t without its flaws but LIV have shown they’ll adapt and modify - they’ll always look to improve. We’ll look out for you at JCB in July, 😉👍

[@bluetoughguy]

I compress my clubs quite a bit, so I couldn't really get on with a 3 wood, but my 7 wood is my 200 yard club and I love it! Off the tee, I can get it to around 220. I love that damn club!

[@zacdavis7]

Honestly I loved watching LIV on KZbin, I got to watch on my iPad in the office then switched to the the cell phone when I was out and about. I thought it was awesome on KZbin! And I liked the team aspect of it also.

[@normlang1994]

Rick...long time subscriber, love the content! When I watch you play, your *short game* looks a lot like mine. On the chipping green/range, my short game is solid. I rarely have a yep, thin or fat. When I get on the course, it all changes. My short game challenge is totally mental...looks the same for you. You obviously have the skill for a great short game. Hi Guy!

Been away from golf for two years now because of spinal surgery man I miss it so much I got down to a 5/6 handicap I’m still going through recovery in my 2 years on I’m sorry I don’t watch the pod like I used to when I played 3/4 times a week but Ive watched todays pod and I’ve missed it you guys are just pure gold content looking forward to the next one lads

[@vegasbhoy6686]

Great content as always, I'll not comment on Liv as I've still not watched it at all but I'll say I've been using the Cobra Darkspeed LS since it's day release and it's phenomenal!

[@andybt3989]

Excellent episode this! Great debate! Possibly the best ever excluding those with guests! Would it be possible to have an episode with two guests debating this and the future of Golf? The subject divides fans, but it has got the sports world talking more Golf.

[@piklezy6818]

Hi Rick and Guy, so over here in 🇨🇦 I downloaded the Liv + app and watched free golf all weekend which I really enjoyed got used to the scoreboard and the switching back and forth, quite impressed my only negative the commentators. Thanks for the great content as ever Pikles

[@timshears2099]

Forvthe first time I find myself agreeing with almost everything RS said (about Liv).

[@mikebrownphotography2784]

For me, the field is good enough for me to show interest. As as a South African, having an SA team is pretty cool

[@markmcbride22]

South African golf is in a very healthy state. Got great players coming out every year. That sunshine tour must be a great start for young professionals. I’m a ripper fan for the same reasons. All Aussies

[@IlliniDog01]

I've found myself watching more LIV golf than PGA Tour recently, but mostly just tune in for the Majors and a few other big tournies (Kapalua, Players, Arnie, Jack, etc). I agree with almost everything you've said. My thoughts, in addition to what you have said. 1. Rather than changing the Shotgun start, have 2 or 4 more groups than there are holes for them to play. During the shotgun start, 2 groups wait at 1 and 2 groups wait at 10. This gives players 1 or 2 mid-round breaks. Then on the final day, run 3 waiting off 1 so all of the leaders (4 groups) can finish on 18. 2. Have some sort of a Team playoff for the top 3 teams from the Tournament. It doesn't even have to be regular stroke play. Could be points for long drive, closest to the pin, and fewest putts in a putting contest. Or something like that. I could be a different challenge for every tournament. Knockout or Skins or anything could be cool.

[@micksteenbuck452]

All excellent suggestions Rick regarding LIV

[@kwiksilver99]

I love the team part. it reminds me of my college golf days!

[@jamesannandale68]

Stinger GC also makes sense. All South Africans. 💪🏻 🇿🇦

[@micah6615]

I think the whole shotgun start is everyone playing to win that tournament that day is going to play in the exact same conditions unlike at Pebble Beach the morning crew had a slight wind a little bit of drizzle and the afternoon tea times had 40 mph winds and sideways rain

[@EdKrisiak]

Worst shot in LIV golf history..🤣😂 Love the podcast!!!

[@bazgreenall5437]

I have got more into LIV and even more since I've been watching the Majesticks team videos on KZbin, poulter has always been my no1 , but watching how the team gel together I really hope they have a better year.

[@MichaelLowes]

Rick’s spot on, simple negatives to fix I like LiV but these are simple things to fix. That hole sound effect is ridiculous.

[@christiaanouwehand3615]

LIV players can play in DP WorldTour it: - They where not membre of the Tour before - They are a former champion of the event - Sponsor invite/invitation from the national golf federation

[@chuckpoovey538]

the team aspect is great once you watch it for a year or so and "get it" = First time watchers will be lost to it though! I love it!

[@roganr8928]

I'm glad Rick finally got a new driver. My son just got fitted for a Dark speed LS and he loves it! I got my first brand new driver ever, in a Ping G430 max. I don't know how Rick played with the 425 for so long. The sound, oof 😣

[@jeffmorris508]

In the US LIV was on KZbin on Friday only. Then Saturday and Sunday it was on the CW. I will probably always prefer the PGA Tour, but sometimes enjoy watching LIV.

[@nealhorton4550]

I like the Team element and idea, but not necessarily in its current form. My favorite thing about the Ryder and President cups is the teams with varying formats. Really brings team selection for each format into play. Would love to see more of this. Still have 10 or so normal tournaments but add 2-4 team tournaments mixed in each year

[@Uncle19]

I watched Wyndham Clark shoot a 60 last weekend and was glued to it seeing if he’d shoot 59. I think that’s tour agnostic. Idc where they’re playing, show me good golf.

[@KonQ242]

From national club golfer - apparently those liv guys were not members so they don’t have outstanding sanctions. Or can be exempt under different categories such as past champion etc

[@scottt3491]

Completely agree with all of those points. I feel as though they are "Americanising" the sport. A little like what they did with cricket, ie: 20/20. Trying to make something "exciting" that shouldn't be taking that particular angle. I am a fan of LIV golf, and will keep watching... but I'll turn the volume down whenever a ball is going in the hole.

[@DamWG18]

Liv is a far superior product. Viewing experience is far better! Better players, each event you know who's playing! Pga tour have 3 top guys and that's it!

[@b.s.fishing5902]

personally I don't have any issues with the whole team aspect. But I also come from and individual sport background (track and field) where our individual performances in our events gained points towards a team score. Its really not that hard to grasp but I think that a lot of people get caught up on the team names that were chosen, because most of them are really goofy. Its the same concept that our high schools and college teams use in their tournaments, so I have always been a bit confused as to why people had such a huge problem with it.

[@tomstretton1844]

On the team element of LIV. I have an idea to spice it up. Crazy and out there I know but if they want to be different then why not? Each team is given a "Home" Course On that course that team get bonus points for a win or a couple shots lead or even the chance to hinder their opponents someway. Then each team has a location/course linked to them and people can get behind them.

[@CAM-hc8ip]

Having a home course for each team or having them “host” the course would be awsome

[@Ryan_Orion]

to me, it now makes the Majors like an All-Star type event. i think there needs to stay a way to qualify or get points, but the best players NEED to be there. And yes it definitely elevates them and makes me that much more excited for them.

[@robmcdonald8623]

Rick, it would be interesting for you to sit down and watch a PGA event and analyse it from a viewers standpoint the way you have LIV if you haven't already. Be good to then compare your points.

[@gowzer4704]

[@TimArchambaultme]

Not in the states. Unfortunately "CW" network is not available on KZbinTV subscription where I live so I wasn't able to watch it. LOL. Populating LIV ad spots with their own content. Probably unsold ad units.

Got to Watch LIV in Las Vegas today, round 3 with decampbeau, DJ and Rahm in front 😅🎉

[@DavidJones-ko8gp]

I've previously been positive about LIV but wasn't bothered last year. However, Tyrrell is someone I'd follow. I watched nearly all of Sat and Sunday. Got heavily invested in the singles and team events. Also found myself rooting for Legion XIII. All the team had really interesting back stories and when the young lad had a 4 Put hole and then came back to birdie the next 5, it was really interesting. The on course coms is a little weak. I feel there should be more interviews with the players whilst playing. Didn't watch a single hole at Pebble Beach. No interest whatsoever.

[@coxyyy8324]

So... Rick signs with Mercedes, for whom Jon Rahm is also an Ambassador, and suddenly Rick is warming to LIV Golf...... 🤔😂😂

[@j_rascal2121]

As an australian fan the team aspect is huge for me as it is easy to car about our 4 players working together in the teams standings. I think the stingers would have the same thing with SA fans.

[@chrismetcalfe9624]

I agree LIV could really make themselves a different product to make it appealing. A few idea could be: A team shot clock and lowest team time wins bonus points. A knockout team based match play event that is like a cup competition outside of the league. This gives a team that way off the lead can win something. Have a nominated player that gets double points. See how a player responds to the pressure of the team aspect. But as you say it is the same game just a little louder it could really shake up the game until it does,. I will still consider it a sideshow.

[@tszampruch]

Rick, Sergio was waiting on the 18th because LIV changed their setup a little this year. For the final round, both the penultimate group and the final group tee off from hole 1. The Rahm, Bermester, Niemann group played slow and fell 2 holes off pace. They almost got penalized for being too slow.

[@MrCoolSpanner]

The 2 leading groups have teed off on the first from the very first tournament. The winner has always finished on the 18th hole.

[@BogeyTrainConductor]

I could get behind the team element if it was location-based. When the video game Overwatch had a league, the team I supported was the New York Excalibur because they were the NY team and that’s the area I live in. I just don’t feel a big enough attachment to any team to even consider supporting them or purchasing their gear.

[@sloth8122]

What is LIV broadcasting on for the uk??

[@richieowen8783]

You can watch it on you tube for free

[@irawilbur7028]

I think if there were more teams and it required them to send one player from the team per event and who they selected made or broke them. Maybe 2 players from each team? And no repeat selections.

[@kierankenny]

"Tor-kayyy"... 🤦‍♂ I agree about the commentary, it was woeful 🤨

[@bluetoughguy]

I mean, I watch a lot of times for the same reasons on the PGA. Watching certain golfers rounds or watching a huge moment. I wouldn't have turned on a couple weeks back, but I saw that Nick Dunlap was still leading or in second and wanted to see if he could win. I think now, especially with how many other things there are to do and see at any given moment, Golf is going to have a harder time keeping people watching for 3-4 hours daily for 3-4 days especially with a younger crowd.

[@YNWA2494]

I think people will get behind the teams once recognised companies buy them, a bit like F1. mclaren, redbull etc. I think the final day should lose the shotgun start or lose it altogether. I agree with the comment about the broadcast team also.

[@chrisharte9030]

Agree with Tom..1st time spending more time watching it and watched all day Sunday.. actually really enjoyed it. Much more because of rick's point of rooting for Niemann, wanting him to do well. Bloody music does my head in though and definitely Rahm looked pissed about it..Bloody rhythm is a dancer in the background..get shot of it 😂

[@SuperScunner]

I think some LIV players can play in DP events due to either past winner or tournament sponsor invites. SA players were invited to all the SA events

[@alexsamain812]

The SA DP events were co sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour so the LIV guys received special invites that way but acquired no DP points.

[@golfer4deer238]

If LIV can figure out the teams I think they should do a one day team tournament on a Thursday. Then it should be a three day individual tournament afterwards. First two days have shotgun starts then on the last day you could have a cut to include some drama and have set tee times. This way you get a clubhouse leader and the stadium finishes.

[@michaeldoran7423]

Liv tournament in Mexico had more spectators than when the PGA tour was there , it’s a fantastic product and golf definitely needs this , Liv is for all ages and sponsors are guaranteed 54 players each week , really don’t think you understand the concept and understand how golf was going stale , Liv golfers don’t want the PGA tour and very soon you will see the majors get Liv golfers on board, speak to people who know golf and know these tours

[@michaeldaniels7926]

My sons and their friends almost exclusively follow LIV and the Majors. They are all in the LIV fantasy league, and I've never seen them so enthusiastic about LIV. They want to go to Adelaide in April, but it is SOLD OUT. LIV breaks the US monopoly on pro golf.

I love LIV golf! I think the teams are fun and different! It doesn't need to be the same old names or ideas. And the Merch in the store is really nice quality. We need to just give them time. They are not going to be household names overnight.

[@chaselleprice2833]

Never listened to Rick shields before and you can hear the animosity they both have towards LIV. They hate the team format but that in my opinion is a great element and makes LIV more interesting due to guys not giving up because they may not win the individual event but have a chance at helping their team standings.

Roy is a common French last name in Québec. Jean-François Roy is definitely a 100% Québécois name. I'd even suggest he's between 35 and 45 as a kid out of 10 was named J-F in the late 80s-early 90s.
