If you fast forward to 13:00 they start talking about the subject

[@Mjones8383]

I was 1 of the commenter's that said that the video with Bryson changed my mind on him. He went from smug and arrogant to being just a guy who is who is and just has a process to his game. I subscribed to his channel and follow his socials. Those are the guys I want on the channel and podcast. Phil Mickelson, Tiger, and Jon Daly would be great. I met Jon Daly at a Casino in Mississippi once and he was a great guy who treated me as if I was his friend. This was right in the middle of the prime Tiger years and he spoke of Tiger to me, but it wasn't in a good way. He said Tiger was an arrogant prick who while he was better than everyone, he made sure he told people how good he was, he also told me about all the women Tiger used and then disposed of like trash, this was before it all came out and I couldn't believe it. Jon Daly would be a great great person to have on

[@mdstilger2849]

Merry Christmas. You've managed to give the gift of bullshit. Congrats

[@FernandoG_1981]

He was way nicer than Ricky Fowler, who definitely seemed like a total ass in his match video with Rick.

[@inb4230]

i believe everything jon said because it's well known that tiger was an ahole, but was jon daly in a position to criticise tiger?He keeps going on podcasts bragging about beating this and that guy and how he could have more wins than everyone, used to take his dates to strip clubs, was detained for domestic violence, was an alcohol/drug abuser and destroyed his whole career gambling/drinking away hundreds of millions of dollars to the point of ending up ruined living in an RV.Jon Daly treated you "like a friend " because he was waisted out of his mind like so many drunks do,then they get that trigger and become complete jerks and end up sleeping in jail like jon did several times. 2 wrongs don't make a right,if Htler had the opportunity to be on the internet there's a good chance people would be saying how wonderful a person he was, ffs..dally was,on HIS OWN WORDS,a terrible father, husband, son,and a nightmare for everyone in golf, the higher ups kept giving him chances to get up on his feet and he kept fist fckn everybody, and somehow now he's a hero because he was an alchoolic mess,give me a break 😂 He was ALMOST as bad as tiger, i say almost because at least he didn't allow his wife to be degraded and bullied by his fans when she decided to leave after finding out she was being cheated on..every day!, while taking care of their kids like tiger's, his ex wife was called a w h o r e and spat in the face carrying one of his kids and he couldn't care less, probably her own fault in his mind, zero accountability. But hey, karma's a btch!

[@Mjones8383]

@mdstilger2849 I have the autograph to prove it on a casino ticket, personally I don't care if you believe me or not, I know the truth. It was the outer limits room on a $100 wheel of fortune slot machine, at the Golden Moon

[@Mjones8383]

@inb4230 he was piss face drunk at the time, every time he hit on the slot he was playing he would hug me and my father and high five us. He paid for our beer for over 3 hrs also.

Fantastic podcast Rick and Guy! I love your fantastic KZbin channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Rick and Guy ❤️

The problem with the break 75 merch for me is, the course I play at is par 67. So 75 isn't a great score to aspire to.. 🙂

[@azgreen_77]

Have a great Christmas Rick & Guy loved the guests u had on this year weekly you tube watcher looking forward to your future videos.#howgoodisgolf 🇦🇺⛳️

[@danclark4506]

Winter golf playing your friends in match play or playing a scramble to try shoot under par has been some of the most enjoyable times on the course. Summer golf is nice but so much more tense constantly worrying about your handicap that doesn’t mean anything at the end of the day

[@calross7143]

Glad to hear you talking about handicaps. I think all the KZbin golf creators must get official handicaps. Will just make competitions between creators fair...and it will allow us followers to track improvement of you guys' game, like for example Steve from GoodGood who everyone can see is improving, Besides that, I'm sure us followers like to compare our golf with yours....

[@michaelreilly5888]

Merry Christmas Rick and Guy

[@shaunchappell784]

Are we all going to ignore the fact that Tiger has come back and is huge!!! When will they start testing in golf, its mental!! Maybe enforce testing before rolling the ball back.

[@96per58]

lol nice to see the clowns are up early 😂😂😂

[@shaunchappell784]

@@96per58 mate it's the worst kept secret in golf......along with Columbian Marching powder being widely used as well. All athletes get on the juice recovering from breaks and other severe injuries, the trick is coming off it at the right time in the cycle and testing period. Anyone with half a braincell can see Tiger would piss red-hot at the minute, which is fine....I would too coming back from that. But get off the gear.....Bryson lost 20lbs when he got off it and stopped his pursuit of distance.

[@MrStewieP]

Agreed on the Bryson comments too. Changed my mind completely.

[@lucabalestrieri]

Loving all the content. Just looking for a nice 3 way classic match with Rick, Guy and James.

[@jasonowen1893]

Hi guys great podcast as usual on a different topic please could you do a video on the best golf balls to use for a high handicap golfer. I’m sure there are many other golfers like me who look forward to a round of golf and we walk into the pro shop to be surrounded by so many different types of balls at a range of different prices and I’m always drawn to buying premium ones which aren’t always going to improve my game. Having a better understanding of what is going to be better suited for my handicap would be a great help and could help me feel more positive about my game. Many thanks Jay

[@matthewtrusler2442]

Have a great Christmas guys enjoy some well deserved family time. End of the family comes first. Keep up the great content its worth waiting for at the end of the day.

[@deanhill3224]

Thanks for slipping podcast in guys 👍⛳️

Hey nice merch, I didn’t see any wood covers on there! Would be awesome asking for a friend lol.

when does the merch get available shipping to Canada?

[@fishnaldo]

Maybe get someone on who is a bang average golfer with a WHS index of 16.6. You could come over to Dublin and play a round at their local course 🤷😆. Love the podcast and content across the channels, and can't wait to see where you take it in 2024! Merry Christmas to both of you and the team!

[@christaylor4946]

During our winter league, we play for a toy snake, which you get if you 3 putt and if you have it at the end, it’s your round in the clubhouse. Costing me a fortune this year, not because of many 3 putt’s but lack of them from others too 👌

[@PetSKi67]

Who I’d like to see in the podcast next year… Lou the Stats man Stagner. Jay Monahan And someone from Randa, who is in the board for roll-back the ball.

[@daviddasilvagrave4268]

Loving the videos with Bryson and it's great to see a totally different side of a pro golfer. As I guest on the podcast after watching your round with Charlie Hull, I think she would be a very interesting guest to listen about her career.

[@robertrenekerjr6819]

Brought to you by Rick Shiels Merch! Nice short podcast guys. As to whether or not Nike needs Tiger, it would depend on whether or not Nike is getting back into golf. Outside of apparel, they really are not in golf. Don’t do clubs or balls any more. They can sell plenty of apparel without Tiger.

[@keithellison6800]

Here is a late happy new year to you and Guy here is to the great content in 2024 🍾🍾

[@marcwitteborg4789]

Tommy Fleetwood is my favorite golf for all the reasons you said. Plus I like how high his caddie is. Like having a caddie and body guard all in one.

[@andyr5389]

It's early. Great way to start the morning here across the pond

[@northlonguy]

Re bad Xmas presents. Mine was five engraved metal tees. Metal! Didn’t have the heart to say I couldn’t use them! Ended up getting a hole drilled in one and putting it on my key ring.

[@carlshipsky5221]

Thanks for a great year of content, definitely the best on the Tube! In regard to Nike, maybe they sponsor a LIV team headed by Brooks..... and the $10KK goes to that team?

[@GolfWithCK]

Have a good Xmas and New Year guys 🎉🎉🎉🤙

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

I couldn't think of any suggestions for guests this morning, but had to come back and leave it now. Bernhard Langer!

[@lesbarton8510]

Rick and Guy, interesting about money and sponsorships. Questions, if there weren't sponsors in golf, what clubs in your opinion, do you think they'd be playing. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@TheFreddyfloyd]

Massive finish to the year, well done. If Eldrick cant make it, I'll be happy to fly over from Aust and take Rick on in a break 75 around JCB and discuss my thoughts on golf, PGA Tour / LIV etc. I play off 5 so would be a good match?

[@williamkerner]

Imagine if Tiger wins another major and he's not wearing a Nike shirt, I'm sure Nike would be kicking themselves.

[@rodconner9079]

Alright Gents! Wishing Happy Holidays and a VERY Merry CHRISTmas to you and yours!!!! Be Safe

[@kevinmontgomery1054]

Future guests: I'd love to see more LPGA players guests. Would also like to see a guest(s) from 1 level down from PGA/LPGA and talk about how hard it is to make it to the top level. Would also like to see professional golfers in Korean, Indian, Asian, South American leagues. Do they get the respect they deserve? How do those leagues differ from PGA/LPGA?

[@paulivin4654]

Will you be doing junior hats in your RS merch ?

[@danielloftus9944]

Rumour has it, Tiger will go to Lyle and Scott after seeing Rick leave Nike.

[@chrisbacon7777]

Wasn’t going to buy any merch and then you suckered me right in with Guy talking a out being in the clubhouse and having merch, elite level clubhouse members 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️💰⛳️☄️🏌️‍♂️

Question! Whether it’s a tour pro, or someone like Peter finch, do you offer a fee to the people that come on your channel?

Rick have you seen performance golf back yard challenge? Grant just done it and i think you would be perfect for it 😂😂

this happened in the tennis world when nike dropped roger federer as an athlete. the tennis world was shook that he signed with uniqlo of all brands... that was in 2018... still a weird move to this day even after his retirement...

100% understandable to have an irregular podcast schedule.. but why don't you guys put out a tweet to say "no pod episode today/this week" big fan of all your work - looking forward to the new vids

[@scottatkinson5576]

Hey Rick, with your involvement with charitable events recently, I'm sruprised you didn't offer a percentage of merch proceeds with a derserving organization. It would be a pertect opportunity to continue paying it forward into 2024. Looking forward to your always entertaining content, all the best!

[@jimhowell4282]

I was not even close to being a fan but became one after you had and played with Ian Poulter.

[@patrickflynn8195]

Question going around is: What clubs would the pros choose if there were no sponsorships? Merry Christmas boys!

[@johneccles9051]

Tommy is the most grounded man I have ever met

[@tomfenton3926]

Like the enthusiasm but how will Rick keep a handicap of plus when he shoots 6/7 over on a regular basis?

[@thomasorme3714]

Rick such a good idea of handicap! Has to be done!

[@BenandJacksadventures]

What's this the shopping channel? If rick could play golf it would make a lot of this credible. and where did he get this Guy fella...In a local Paddy Powers I would suggest!

[@MrStewieP]

Tiger will stay with Nike. Tiger is Nike Golf. Imagine him rocking anything else on Sunday in a major. Cant see it myself. I'm still using the Nike VR irons from 2009 and love them!

[@Chris54321]

Tiger will do well whatever he does, but i think the real trend will be reasonably priced equipment and gear. Direct to consumer brands and Kirkland Signature seem to offer quality at a fair price. As for Jon Rahm, would it have been better if he completely trashed the PGA on his way out? It may have been more forthcoming, but it would not have been better for golf.

[@ladgolf6330]

Merry Christmas lads, enjoy the break and looking forward to 2024. I’ll leave this one with you ~ Team Smash to become Team Swoosh in the near future 🤔

[@RobertDeakin-iv1xo]

Hey Rick, I know you must get lots of advice from us non pro's but I am 56 ( six handicap) and a real student of the swing and having watched literally 1000's of your golf swings I have noticed something that I think could be worth investigating (you probably know this but here goes) I can watch your take away and pause the video and predict a good or crooked shot based on the amount of early wrist hinge. When you are relaxed and playing well the early wrist hinge is much less but sneaks in when you are trying to hit it hard or get a little tense. Also you chipping tempo is way too fast. There I have got it off my chest, do with it what you will.

[@bosullivan5462]

Good chat..Rick extra ball speed wont improve you your golf! Fix your short game and do what Dan Grieve suggested. That would transform your game. Forget the macho wallops of the tee! Have a good Chritmas

For some reason guy doesn't know why he loved his Playboy golf diary so much..

[@yugiboy-uk680]

I reckon Tiger will sign a deal similar to what Roger Federer did in 2018 after being with Nike for 20 years. Considering Roger was on the tail end of his career when Fed went to Uniqlo it proved to be one of most financially savvy moves an ageing sports star has made in recent times. It worked out he was on $10 million a year on average with Nike since 2008-2018. With Uniqlo he then signed a 10 year deal worth somewhere between 300/440 million so at least x3 his money. It makes perfect sense for TW to have a deal something like that lined up next.

[@bryansmith7490]

Roger Federer, the face of Nike Tennis, left and signed with Uniqlo for $300 Million for 10 years. Also, On gave him 3% of the company which equals $180 Million. Tiger would be a fool to stay unless Nike can match a deal like that.

[@joshuaroberts840]

You are 100% right, however, Nike could match anything put on the table by a competitor. It will come down to whether they want to pay the money really. I obviously don't know the specifics, but of the $51.217 billion USD Nike made in 22/23, I can't imagine Nike Golf contributed a pivotal amount to that figure that'd make them desperate to keep him. You obviously don't want to lose a Tiger Woods, but if you think about it, almost EVERY iconic image of Tiger is him in the red Nike polo... Clearly they'll continue benefiting from having had him for 27 years, whether he's on the payroll or not. Very excited to see how things transpire...

[@Sliff]

so probably a sony camera. They let me down in the worst moments.

[@GGdoogie]

Well done on a big year - you’re becoming a powerful golf brand. Branding is about authenticity. So ironic to see you wearing L&S sweater and your RS talking about Tiger shifting from Nike. You’re much better as a relatable golf guy who takes us deeper into the game we all love through vicarious fantasy golf experiences and the opportunity to meet some heroes. But the merch pitch man persona is really tacky. Also don’t underestimate Guy - he is a great straight man to keep you honest and grounded.

[@drrick2466]

Ahhhh! Poor Tigey lost his money train? That's horrible!

[@mikeobrien55]

What, no iron covers? 😂😂

[@wkndwarrior4733]

Nike is crossover brand between sports. Good for new and average golfers and the player base is larger than ever after Covid. Not sure Nike would leave that behind. But they may also not think Tigers $$$ is worth it. They ca. throw the logo on RS instead! #throwback

[@MrRaffles1234]

I agree Tiger is always injured, and when he isn't he never plays well, so maybe they think it's not worth the money.

Whether tiger wins or not, to see him back and playing is all that matters. We’re lucky to have seen him in our lifetime. I bet tigers statement on Nike is his way of getting an even better contract ha

[@timr1627]

Niks is leaving the fold apparel business

[@arigato021]

How sure are we that Nike didn't proactively ditch Tiger and the "spin" is that Tiger is leaving them? Kinda like a "you can't fire me, I quit" situation. Because if I were Nike I wouldn't want anything to do with Tiger going FWD knowing how's he's about to completely embarrass himself next year with this (yawn) latest "comeback" attempt. Just give it up Tiger, it was over a long time ago.
