[@kennethbnorris]

I was rooting for Bryson, but I have to give credit where it’s due. Xander hitting that six footer knowing his first major was on the line was incredibly clutch.

[@bosskoala7]

Same here

[@LegolasFan69]

Same… even after all he’s accomplished a lot of fans and most the media wanted to brand Xander a loser, but he proved them wrong. Very happy for him even tho I wish Bryson won

[@matrix35]

Xander can now sign for LIV that he is a major champion!

[@101wildgoose]

Xander will be well suited to Royal Troon and likes to play in Scotland.

[@piklezy6818]

The final day watching Bryson and Victor swaping scores with Xander so good, really wanted Bryson to win 😀😀

[@MadHeadPunk]

Not even 2 minutes in and I'm laughing my head off... Good to have Guy back! 😂

[@richardupfold2544]

Glad Xander finally got it done, also hats off to Bryson for being the only Liv player in contention

[@Broughie]

Burmiester played well and Brooks came back on the final day. Were not going to win but its a major.

[@LegolasFan69]

Pretty good when there was really only 3 guys in contention

[@bradglawson4395]

Where was Taylor gooch ? Lol

[@Broughie]

@@bradglawson4395 He was at -4 which was better than a whole bunch of players. But I suppose mocking someone who made the cut makes you feel good about yourself little boy.

[@Alan1michel]

Agree. Bryson has turned public opinion and now is one of the most loved or at least followed and respected golfers. Well done Bryson. No other pro Golfer does more for golf than he does.

[@sfjeanfrancois]

10 shot challenge with Nelly Korda would be fun to watch 😇

[@richardcunningham5540]

35:30 - Rick nails it on why so many fans have spun around on Bryson (in a good way) and recognise the guy for the brilliant golfer and genuine bloke that he is. I've loved his whole journey - the bulking up, the slimming down the mad scientist approach to golf in the quest of success. But he has a genuine and likeable humility now. I so wanted him to win it, as I did at the Masters. But hey, I would have been stoked to see either Bryson, Xander or Viktor lift the trophy. I great PGA tournament. Nice course, but reckon Kiawa Island, was the best PGA course I've seen in years. Graet podcast. Northern humour at it's best. Cheers lads.

[@StevelandCleamer]

I would’ve been happy with any of those three, though I wish I would’ve bet on it because those were my three picks. Love Bryson, love Xander’s shit-talking, and Viktor has the best taste in music on tour! All seem like really good dudes and played their asses off! Let’s not forget Morikawa lately too. Dudes been playing some serious golf!

[@jarbird83]

The only way to beat Scottie is to arrest him.

[@Mike_Torres_Golf]

I agree with *Guy* here. I'm the biggest TW fanboy and if he's playing in an event.... You will see me on my couch or at the bar for a pint watching his group. It has been the hardest thing for fans because most of us want Tiger to win. He doesn't play enough tournies and only plays the majors, so his form isn't there. Every tourney he has played he looks so exhausted and it literally breaks my heart because we want him to win. In his current form and how injury prone he is, I can't see him winning unless he is getting his stamina and form back. Guy/Rick great analysis, Unfortunately, and I say that lovingly, I agree with Guy because I can't see him winning.

[@MrGibbo68]

Xander played tremendous golf, nerves of steel on the last

[@the_golfing_hack8927]

Very much so. No chance my hands wouldn’t have been shaking over that last putt

[@stewartmack4821]

Agree Tiger should step back

[@loldellow834]

Hi Rick and Guy, my wife and I have just come back from a 4 day stay 30m from Loch Ness and I can say with hand on heart it was the most stunning place we have ever visited so I would highly recommend a trip up there. Only saw one golf course as they are very strict in keeping the Loch a place of natural beauty. Plz take a trip you will not be disappointed. Keep up the great work. Lol

[@Graken-oj8dx]

Rich Beem beat Tiger - Rich Shiels bromance! That was a significant accomplishment! By the way, guys, this is a great podcast. I look forward to it; it's enjoyable and an excellent listen.

[@fillupinchrist07]

i was a marshall on hole 18 and the scottie crowds were even louder and bigger than normal. it was a wild morning!

[@duncanbush453]

No excuses from Scottie. He's a Winner.

[@LemonJelly360]

Really pleased to hear you talk about Nelly Korda's incredible run of form. I will be honest, I was concerned it would get overlooked. Getting more LET/LPGA guests on the channel would be great.

[@BCguitar75]

“Can’t be in two places at once.” I’ve always said that. - Guy. For some reason that got me. 😂😂😂

[@ladgolf6330]

PGA Championship was awesome - some great stories developing all weekend - and it shows in the viewing figures released earlier today. Bryson has won so many people over - my favourite golfer in the mens pro game right now - I used to hate they guy - how mad is that?? I'm loving the way the game is evolving at the elite level right now, it has been given a massive, and much needed kick up the arse. 👍

[@andybt3989]

My favourite player!

[@Broughie]

Tiger can't play lots of golf because of his legs. A shame but put a fork in him. Great golfer and brought the game to another level.

[@sammaier4485]

Tiger could still compete on shorter flatter courses, but he insists on only playing the hardest courses in majors.

[@Richard-d1u5s]

Great golfer questionable human being

[@travispape9994]

Great episode, guys. I love these podcasts and this one made me crack up when y'all were talking about having Guy have to talk to Tiger about how he's needs to stop playing. 😆 Good stuff. Looking forward to the announcement of the next 10 shot challenge. 😀

[@stevenrogers5486]

Probably an unpopular opinion now but I don’t want to see LIV players win Majors and Rahm’s struggles have been delightful to watch.

[@ExbotHero]

Drinking under the influense 🤣🤣Rick my man, thats a foregone conclusion! (Try it on more time, maybe the driver?!) 😉😊

[@markrigney4372]

Tiger's body is broken. If he can find a way to fix that he's a chance but if he can't swing it well for four+ days you won't win. Love what he's done, want to see it one more time I'm just concerned 2019 was it.

[@robsteele1397]

Watching Tiger at the minute makes me think of watching an old punch drunk boxer who needs to hang it up because they're going on too long. It's been great, and there are still moments of magic but they're becoming fewer and further apart

[@12centcomicsandcards]

The entire field was a cumulative -214 at Valhalla. The next lowest cumulative score by an entire field was Riviera in 1995 at +40. Insane.

[@andybt3989]

Was rooting for Bryson! Like how he engages with fans!

[@kenrobertson7414]

Please look at Iona with the best coach Butch Harmon!your thoughts please.

[@joshrankin4017]

Tiger Woods should’ve bowed out at The 150th Open, well said

[@jeffpriz]

I am an American, went to Scotland last year.. did in fact go to Loch Ness.

[@cstridbeck]

In june, scandinavian mixed at Vassatorp in sweden... 70 men and 70 women playing the same event.

[@delement86]

First BIG BIG MISTAKE on a Rick Shiels video... all this time talking about Scottie getting arrested, talking about Bryson , Victor and other players .. why not take a good 5min. To talk about Xander and give him the credit he deserve, what an amazing golfer who's been in the top 10 for the past 5 years and finally gets a major and you guys just gonna skip it like that.. come on :(

[@bluetoughguy]

That was also the first round since Aug 2023 that was over par when his caddy was out! Crazy

[@kennethmckinney2532]

Both Saturday and Sunday I just watched Bryson and Viktor on featured group coverage. It was so great and entertaining. I couldn't possibility watch CBS broadcast. There is no way I could take all the commercials and bs production. I want to see golf PERIOD

[@the_golfing_hack8927]

They were so fun to watch on Sunday. Seemed like they were just firing at pins

[@coreyjohnson7393]

40:23 Guy freaking cracks me up so much!

[@sbutler66]

Fun to see EAL on the bag, they seemed to get on well when they did the undercover Rich Beem video

[@michaelperry9580]

On a normal year Bryson wins. He needed a good tee shot on 7 he’d have won. Can wait for the last two majors. It’s a crime these guys aren’t playing together every week.

[@kennethmckinney2532]

To be fair actually a good second shot. Unfortunately he didn't feel he could hit driver off the tee so it left him back with another fairway wood into the green. His fairway woods really weren't behaving...

[@andrew_l1900]

The only thing preventing them from playing together more regularly is a self imposed ban by the pga tour, and yet they whinge and complain like they can’t do anything about it……🤦🏽‍♂️

[@tomocallaghan685]

Campaign to get a camera for Matt and the lads!

[@cledesma135]

Telling Tiger what to do is absolutely wild

[@dennismcintosh3699]

If Xandwr missed that putt Bryson was going to win. He really came in clutch making it.

[@andybt3989]

I recall a mixed event where John Daly partnered Laura Davies.

[@MrEddiyOwen]

9am... Rick 'I've got a lie-in'... One of the boys

[@DeejayHawky]

Please do some interview with some top caddy!

[@robertrenekerjr6819]

Bang up podcast Rick and Guy. Couple of thoughts. Tiger is done winning PGA Tour events and majors. His physical issues will prevent him from playing enough to get his game to a point he can win. He still draws a crowd when he plays. Interesting observation by Rick on how locals often do not see the sights near their own home. Most of the time they are trying to avoid tourists! 😅. Lastly, was not rooting for Bryson. He seems like a likable guy, but will never root for anyone who plays on that circus tour. They sold their integrity, took the money and needlessly fractured the game of golf.

[@Martin_F1]

Rick, when you head back to play Portstewart, you should try out Ballyliffin (designed by a certain Mr Faldo) which is about an hour away if you get the ferry! Plenty of scenic courses like St. Patrick's in Donegal!

[@philipmullan5348]

when you go back to portstewart i highly recommend castlerock golf club just up the road a bit

[@SteveSmith-wv8ug]

Why did you both go on and on about Scottie after Rick saying everyone should already know about the incident.

[@JoeSalter-s2m]

Love all the shows guy we need to know was that moped story from past experience it was far to perfectly put out 😂great show as always

[@hectorrivera5416]

As great as Ted Scott is an he is such an asset for Scottie. The reason Scottie had a rough Saturday was because the adrenaline settled down and woke up the next day to fully realized what happened to him. He was not in a comfortable head space, which would happen to anyone

[@chefdannydesteli]

i do agree with this but it also didn’t help that his right hand man wasn’t on the bag that day to keep him closer to a normal headspace.

[@the_golfing_hack8927]

Yep. Didn’t have that familiar voice and comfort of his normal Caddy to help keep him focused on just golf

[@geoffroberts4113]

Guys beef with Tiger trying to play is 🤮. He’s the most iconic athlete of our generation, who cares how he does. You’d rather he not try? You’d rather not see the Tiger Woods play? Jeez man.

[@gerhardwindisch2998]

On LET and DP World Tour thereis the Swedish Open which a mixed Tournament, won by Lynn Grant in 2023.

[@johnlocke5991]

Interesting, Bryson beat Xander on three out of the four days.. It was Xander's first day, that meant from there everyone was chasing

[@gibo7958]

Rossapenna always a good challenge

[@CLord92]

America is such a large place so large it would take me 2 days if not more to drive to Yosemite or a 6 hour plane ride. So that’s why some haven’t traveled but they are missing out

[@tool46296]

It used to be that I couldn’t stand Bryson, now I love the guy.

[@calross7143]

Did you see Bryson's latest video on his channel with Martin, playing with a Jnr set and shooting 2 under over 3 holes...and that happened in the week before the PGA Championship!

[@tywalraven4936]

Rick’s putting looks like he never takes a practice putt before the round, so that prep story checks out.

[@gibo7958]

I did Ireland every year from 2009-2017, best links courses ,great people

[@johnbass2869]

Why can’t I find the Friday podcast on KZbin. That’s where I listen

[@MrMuzzy7]

It's audio only, so on amazon, Spotify etc

[@bobkelly6494]

Scottie = Clark Kent

[@peariejones6253]

Guy to your point then Why is Tiger still attempting to play any Golf???

[@zallman7526]

"The golf course looks good, my golf swing feels good, I like my chances."

[@nicoclause]

Hey Guy glad you had a nice Holiday , did you have sunfactor 200 on 😂😅 just banter . Good pod lads

[@JohanSiren]

Why do you guys not check out Scandinavian Mixed. There men and woman compete for the same price and money.

[@cubuffs4life275]

You guys are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@Richard-d1u5s]

Majorca is south surely?

[@andrewallin7856]

US legal system needs to be upended

[@thewaygokid3135]

I think Scottie thought it was just traffic control (like every other tournament). His vehicle probably has a window sticker to let him into the player parking lot so he just thought they saw it and he tried to pull around. Someone was saying the officer was really pissed and got quite physical during the incident.

[@pudwellion]

Lots of positive noise about Rory and Harry Diamond in this podcast, maybe you could schedule a Guy Charnock / Rory McIlroy vs Rick and Harry Diamond in an alternative shot challenge.

[@ChristopherSmit-vw5hg]

Brilliant Guy!

[@toxicroak_gaming6754]

26:40 I think that the players being under par will help with their mentality. we hate to see bogies because then the players get mad and down on themselves

[@kennethbnorris]

Bryson and Victor were the show on Sunday until Xander reached 18. Unfortunately everyone else in the last two pairings faded away.

[@fillupinchrist07]

all arrest are public record in US

[@seagull_racer]

Justin Rose 10 shot challenge?

[@EddieLynn]

Phil won a major at 51, Tiger gets the same courtesy.

[@andrew_l1900]

Phil was and is still competitive, tiger is not.

[@LostradamusClips]

The only thing about everyone shooting really low scores is that it takes away from the truly great shots for me. If everyone is dropping it 6ft from the hole because the greens are too soft and they can just attack the pin, it makes it less special and less dramatic when someone hits that great shot.

[@goalgoalgoal669]

Rory Mcilroy ten shot challenger

[@davidemery1461]

Every year Guy wants to stop old champions from excepting their exemptions. The only person who should make that decision is that champion golfer. Would love to see Guy take on some of these legendary champion golfers and be humbled. Call it Break Guy. That would get some clicks. Guy vs Ian Woosnam would be a good first episode.

[@Chris54321]

If Tiger played in the most recent 7 Lpga events considering how Nelly played, would he have won any?

[@vincentcarter4932]

Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland maybe only an 1hr away but the courses you're playing i priced out of the normal persons league,in 1998 I went to South West Ireland had a week with acommadation 6 rounds of golf including ballybunion tralee lahinch Waterville dooks fota Island all for £400,Waterville alone now is €325,I love my golf but a lottery win is now needed 😀

[@jesusrevus8017]

Would love to play augusta but I’d be disappointed in only be able to play it at 6000yards. Same reason I wouldn’t pay to play sunningdale. Pay hundreds of pounds to only be allowed off the yellows at 6000. Not worth it for me.

[@justinyost9650]

Welcome to America 😂

[@latenite3931]

Bro you have to start with "alright guys" i got too used to it

[@shakeyfly]

Watching Tiger woods play, is like watching an old dog drag his back legs around the house. It's painful. You don't want to let go, but you know it's probably best for you both....

[@Kaddywompous]

Put him to sleep? Metaphorically, I hope!

[@MrRaffles1234]

Fantastic major, unlike this years Masters.

[@Rob-v3q3q]

It makes me laugh when they say Bryson was the only Liv player in contention when you got 145 pga players against 15 liv players I would say the odds are in their favour

[@rayanjc]

Those 15 LIV players make way more than the 145 other players. LIV is great for players at the end of their careers. Take the money and run

[@Simeon-the-Magnificent]

Those 15 are big names mostly major winners so they should have been higher

[@karlmeaden6868]

I'm betting Billy Horschel on the 10 shot challenge.

[@beaufortboy77]

I’m thinking shane Lowry

[@angelam6902]

Rick said it was against someone who finished in the top twelve. If said player had finished top ten, he would have said top ten. With ties, that narrows it down to Rory McIlroy (0% chance), Lee Hodges (3%), Sahith Theegala (50%), Taylor Moore (3%), Dean Burmeister (4%), or Alex Noren (40%).

[@karlmeaden6868]

@@angelam6902 OK Angela.

[@ronaldthibeau-ji8ng]

I don’t think women crossing over to the men’s tour is good. But I do believe there should be more mixed tournaments. At least four a year

[@marvinburkholder8907]

You're overplaying the importance of the caddy. John Daly won his first major with a caddy who had never carried his bag before.

[@calross7143]

Dean Burmester...?

[@Tom_Swift]

I would politely disagree with Guy that Scottie getting arrested was the best thing for Scottie. Only because Scottie is a guy that wants to fly under the radar and just play golf. I'm sure he appreciated the fans and galleries being on his side, but he isn't one for wanting attention.

People need to stop comparing scotties “clean cut” look to Tiger being “bad”. At Scotties age we ALL were convinced Tiger was Mr. Clean-cut family man. We have NO IDEA what these men’s personal lives are like. Stop that.

[@dannelson6715]

Its too bad Bryson isn’t battling Scotty every week

[@timwalker952]

Tigers done. He had heat packs/ heat rubs all over his body at the masters to get thru 18 holes. His back and his legs are gone

[@axreacts]

Course was too easy and in no way felt like a major to me. Good solid PGA tour event type feel to it.

[@GRIFF22]

Was it really amazing....21 under winning a major?? Whenever Sky do a poll on whether this type of golf is more watchable than a tough course, the audience overwhelmingly votes for par golf. The course was wet, greens flat and the more people shoot 62's, the more we lose track of the truly great rounds, like Johnny Miller's 63 at the 73 US Open which many consider to be the best round ever. Equipment is making the game so easy for the pro's and it would be nice for a course to be set up with modern equipment in mind, rather than thinking making it 7800 yards will be difficult. It was point and shoot golf, no imagination required. And people enjoying the other shenanigans shows the social media age we live in...I mean a bloke died and a day later he's forgotten about.

[@jayhgoodwin]

Two rounds, at 62 only two days apart, that tied the low score record for a major
