[@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.

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.

[@MRiNCREDiBLE09]

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

[@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 🙂

[@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.

[@AlabamaGolfer]

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.

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@EdKrisiak]

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

[@ladgolf]

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, 😉👍

Like test cricket that has lost an audience over the years, which led to 50 over cricket and now 20 over cricket…. to keep people interested, golf needs to do the same. LIV is 3 rounds and shotgun start meaning as a spectator it’s at a suitable time. Nothing wrong with that at all. End of the day it’s about the game of golf, PGA / America doesn’t own the game. PGA poached the best European players years back when it setup in direct competition with Europe. I don’t understand any negativity for LIV. Just like KZbin golf helping attract new people to golf so is LIV.

[@adblefty]

[@tjobrien8436]

Agree with Rick on nearly all points. Personally liv ain't for me. It's just bloody gimmicky. I've watched a bit of it and think it's fun fair golf. No way any top player would be gone over there if it weren't for the mad money. If liv went to a traditional 4 day format with cut, and have your traditional finish, then they'd be onto a winner. Get rid of rhe bloody teams, they are just a distraction (unless as rick says they are country based). Don't mind the shorts, music, and whatever but the golf has to be the centre point its built around. And the biggest thing, sort out the merger and get all the players back together

[@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.

Hi Rick Your constructive criticism of of the LIV coverage and presentation last weekend is most valid especially from an Brit's point of view and as a fellow Brit, I agree with your every word. However, if you give it out, then you should also be able to take it. So, let's see if you can. Can you answer the following questions, honestly. 1. Why do you wear baseball caps indoors? 2. Why do you wear headphones in a sound perfect studio? 3. Why do you use massive microphones on stands close up to your faces? I find these aspects to your 'show' equally irritating as much as you do watching LIV golf. Can you give us an honest answer? Also, and equally frustrating, why does Guy (and you?) use irritating phrases like "from the get-go" instead of from the outset or from the beginning? This may sound petty but no less so than some of your comments regarding LIV golf's presentation this weekend. I could go further, but let's see if you allow the above to be published, and see if you come up with some feasible answers. Notwithstanding the above, I have followed you since before 2016 (when I retired) and truly wish you would not spoil your presentation with these trendy American like traits. Wooo - ooo ! (See what I mean!) Kind regards, Dave Richards

Couple of things I’d do to make LIV better: 1. For first 2 rounds, all teams play four balls, but every player finishes each hole so individual and team scores are counted. Final day singles with leaderboard based pairings. 2. Live broadcast each team’s rounds on KZbin. For the team element to pick up there has to be a way to watch your favourite team

I have so many thoughts about LIV… The tournament still feels like a bunch of guys playing a round of golf at someone’s stag party. The music, the shotgun start and the casual nature of things just takes away all the gravitas for me. I was reminded of John Rahm’s thoughts on LIV from a couple of years ago this weekend and seeing him completely about face for the money causes me to lose a huge amount of respect for him. And that’s really how I feel about all of them. They allowed themselves to be bought. I think the team thing could work but I would rather see an entire event dedicated to only team competition sort of like a Ryder Cup situation. I would watch that. Overall the whole thing just feels like a gimmick to me.

From a viewers perspective that watched both events this weekend, LIV far and beyond was better coverage. A, on youtube, so free and easy to access. B, while watching LIV I saw 15-20 golfers shot highlights from a single feed. PGA event could see 2-4 golfers from a single feed. abysmal coverage of the actual golf, barely seeing 2 golfers round is so disappointing compared to LIVs coverage in my opinion. Comment section would be just as negative on the pga if they had one.

[@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.

[@duckduckgolf]

On the idea that they don’t show reactions to golf shots, I sorta like this because you get to see more golf which was one of your positives. In the last round I will say they definitely showed a lot of Joaquin’s, Rhams’, Garcia’s, and Burmester’s reactions as it was coming down to the wire. I think we need to understand that LIV is not the PGA. They are doing something relatively new and even though they surround the same sport of golf, the audiences, atmospheres and coverages are very different. The PGA has an amazing history and will always be around, however I won’t bash LIV for trying something new and seeing where that takes the organization as a whole.
