[@EvanPT]

Rory has finally made a swing change that is right. He has gone back to his old swing when he won majors. He can now count on his swing holding up and will have a great 2025. With 2 major courses that really fit him on the schedule, I will be putting a few bets down.

[@Unvaccinated69]

​@@tehhud5he's the bookies favourite golfer

[@EvanPT]

You don’t understand that he has changed back to his old grip and it has changed his swing to match his nature. The way his body is coordinated. He may not, but I do understand why he struggled and the coaches that are coming around him now. Worth the bet.

[@mrb018538]

Mcilroy is always in the top 3 favourites for any event and a terrible price. Only reason his odds stay so low is he places in a lot of majors so the EW bets pay out regularly.

[@sylvandude1]

Charlie hull is fun, entertaining, and yes a role model, like any role model, some good qualities, some bad, you choose which is which

[@callinklopper2358]

Putting under pressure. The flat stick is the only club in the bag that gains or removes difference making strokes at a professional level. Most of these guys get on in regulation but the winners convert.

[@KevinHoekman]

Why? Be honest, he has a tendency to choke near the end.

[@wdp5617]

Exactly!! Nobody wants to say it, he cost me fortune on Sunday ! Never again will I put anything on him, not even a cent!!!!

[@KevinHoekman]

@@wdp5617 Not good if you can beat the field for 3 days and only hold on half the time. He's never fully recovered from the back 9 meltdown at the Masters. Before that round, he was awesome.

@@KevinHoekman Jack Nicklaus was 60%

[@KevinHoekman]

@@wdp5617 Yes and he was there much more often. Jack was and still is clutch. By far the greatest major player ever. Rory isn't even in the top 10 of all time, but could have been. I'm telling you, that final day of the Masters did him in.

[@jamiegarrison7328]

All you ever hear is how hard it is to win on tour,and yet some players get roasted for finishing second?

[@nicholascrouch7777]

I really think Rory needs a new caddie! Nothing against Harry, but he needs someone to push him or even almost take charge in certain cases.

[@JimN109]

Can't blame the caddy for the careless bogey on 17. The problem is between his ears not on his bag.

[@shankedit65]

If Harry was a true friend he'd fall on his sword

[@scotttempleman1287]

I couldn't agree more, i was going to make this point. If Rory ever wants to win another major Harry needs to be taken off the bag, The caddie is almost as important as the golfer these days, look what happened to Scottie when Ted Scott came off the bag for one day. It was a total different scottie, Rory needs a caddie that can say the right things to him in that home stretch to bring him home and keep those bogey's off on the last holes.

[@MarkTill-vt3ku]

I should tubes has improved a lot seeing as all he’s done is play golf multiple times a week for the last few years 😂 Christ I’d be devastated if I played that much and didn’t get any better!

[@pudwellion]

Rory's putt on 17 was shocking and missed green on 15 out of nowhere. He was probably inches from holding the green on 15, so why isn't he taking that roll off out of it. But it was pretty similar to the British Open at St Andrews, edged holes with birdie putts, just plodded along and had his pocket picked. He didn't really attack on the final day, always leaving himself longish birdie putts. I feel if he was chasing and had the wind in his sails he'd probably shoot 64. But just plodding and his concentration goes.

[@zlatysmola]

“Pocket picked” agree to an extent but does he get a little arrogant thinking it’s in the bag too early 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ralphgiofre4316]

Get Well Soon Rick! Totally agree with the focus on golf and Charlie Hull’s accomplishments without being tongue in cheek using “smoked” for their article title.

[@ClassicGolfSwings]

Rasmus Hojgaard had a spectacular back 9! If it wasn’t for that Rory would have won. Fine margins. Think Rory will be fine and win again soon 😊

[@RobertG-uu3xm]

Three putts from 25 feet on the penultimate hole. Almost puts the first putt off the green. It’s pressure. He should have at least forced a playoff. Just a complete unforced error at the worst possible moment. So many people make excuses for him but he bottles it. It’s as simple as that

[@kevinrobertson2053]

Agreed, Dumbarnie is a cracking course. Really spolied living in North East Fife, don't have to travel far to play some of the very best courses in the World.

[@richardwharfinger6773]

Get well Rick. What a champ to remain dedicated to the podcast.

[@jasonwebber9811]

It’s frustrating being a long time listener and viewing listening to these podcasts just waiting for the Titleist fitting video to be addressed. Do the right thing and even just a 1 minute explanation

[@ladgolf6330]

On the LIV teams - I think a lot of them are now creating an identity - be interesting to see where it is in 5 years time. Rory needs a change as well - he'd love it on LIV, he's clearly hacked off with the PGAT/PIF negotiations, he has pretty solid Major exemptions. It's time he made the switch...

[@Ballroot84]

I was at the Irish open, and one of the things i was interested to see was the caddie interaction. I've never been 'anti Harry', but comparing what i saw and heard from some caddies, I can see why some people say he needs a different one thay pushes and grounds him when he needs it.

[@anthonyclark2225]

The narrative is so boring that Rory doesn’t win. 40 professional wins and 4 majors, yes he hasn’t won a major for 10+ years but he’s achieved more in one year than probably half of the PGA tour field👍🏻

[@Gjtracer]

Been following you for years and love the work you have done. I feel it is a disservice to all of your followers to not address the fitting video. We are all entitled to a bad day. If you had a bad day that day, own up to it. Not addressing it and deleting comments about it makes it worse.

[@kevingowdy3651]

I'm an avid watcher of your golf and podcasts Rick but I'm getting a bit sick and tired of the continued pressure to address a video that I haven't seen and therefore not interested in. While I like to read genuine comments, these are just looking for a bit of gossip. Not necessary, needed, or wanted. Maybe they'll grow up soon. Keep up the good work Rick.👏

[@Surfsaus]

Who else thinks Rory is angling in going to LIV? One thinks Rory is envious of Rahm's 1 billion payday. TW has cost Rory a lot of money.

[@AlwaysDoingSomething]

Kudos for the take on smoking. The golf media really is trying to make her into a hip young John Daly instead of letting her be Charlie Hull a great golfer who has a bad habit that Ben Hogan once said "I'd like to punch the guy in the nose who got me started smoking."

[@marknee]

[@scottkennedy6514]

Fed up with saying it. A caddy is the only point of contact on the golf course and it’s time for Rory to make that change!!!!

[@pipebanfan]

[@chrisreidttm]

Scheffler could go on to be one of the greats and catch up with Rory, he’s not there yet Rick. Rory, 40 professional wins, Scheffler 17. Long way to go yet. It’s hard at the top

[@padraigobroin370]

Rick needed to be sick to watch LIV. 😂

[@3piecespicycards930]

Not a great wedge player over 50 yards, not a reliable putter from any distance in any given week or round. It’s not rocket science. He’s currently like the 30th best player in the world. He has top 5 talent; but it isn’t trustworthy under the gun.

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

Compare him statistically to Scheffler and you will have a reliable answer.

[@Hatori64]

Cause hes older and chokes up near the end

[@kevinrobertson2053]

With the LIV team comments you made Rick, do you not think association with a Rahm, DeChambeau, Garcia, etc is the same as football/soccer teams having a "fan recognition" with a Messi, Mbape, Ronaldo, etc? LIV fans are, imo of course, buying into the teams and the merchandise, as was clear at JCB this year, even if they are really a fan of the individual more so than the team. Isn't this what the league was about? The attempt to leverage team value, comparable to soccer, NFL, NHL, NBA, etc? Interested to hear what peoples thoughts are.

I believe that Rory can win again from watching Rory play these past couple of years. He is very quickly agitated, and once he is agitated, everything goes to crap as far as his game goes.

Rory needs to replace his caddie. He needs someone there to stabilize him down the stretch.

McIlroy needs a new caddy. A proper caddy, team member, a partner in fight. What this guy does is like having an etrolley.

[@MarkTill-vt3ku]

do you know either of them ? harry is a well respected looper on tour and would get another bag with no problem , he is also a plus 4 golfer . The problem is that Rory doesnt listen .

[@jiripauzrgolfanddarts]

⁠@@MarkTill-vt3kuit is not about if hr is good or bad caddy. He is noz good for McIlroy. It was obvious all days in Iteland. As he stood anywhere off the green lean on bag or flag and doing literaly nothing. If it us because McIlroy does not want any tips, help whatever it might be, then he needs a new caddy who will push him to talk, to discuss, to make more for the win. Harry can be much more useful for any other player who actually want help.

Rory doesn’t win more because he’s too aggressive and he can’t hit putts inside 10 feet when the heat is on. He reminds me of Phil back before he won a major where it was guaranteed he would miss 2-3 5 footers when it really matters. It happened like clockwork.

[@Rogm-rg7kq]

Why is Rick crying abt Hull’s smoking. Absolute virtual signalling. The world is problematic because of people like Rick… “oh do u eat meat? I don’t, I care about the animals”. What Rick’s gotta accept is, before he claims Hull as a bad influence, every force in the universe has its opposite and equal reaction. On the other side of the spectrum, there’s this X person who’s good at golf, doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, goes to church every weekend, respects their parents. Rick’s children or any child can aspire to either one they like depending on what sort of person they are. So stop moaning abt everything you dislike. How arrogant of you to live and go around the planet thinking you’re only gonna see the things you admire and like.

[@satyandranath]

Maybe I got that wrong, but it seemed to me that he said that it was irritating that the Media focuses so much on her smoking and not the achievement when reporting on the weekend. So I can not follow the Argument about arrogance and vegetarians. Seems to me to be cross pollinating anger to Society, could that be?

[@mikemaxwell5626]

I think it's great that more girls are getting into watching golf (I'd love my daughter to get into it), but the idea that they're more interested in the fashion than the sport feels like it isn't as progressive as you'd initially think?

[@mickmac3360]

Its very simple, he just does not putt well enough. Thats all.

[@jcmoye1]

Rory has a bad attitude. He’s spoiled, watch him lower, his head shrug his shoulders all the time his attitude is terrible. He doesn’t have a champions attitude. That’s what’s wrong with him. He walks around the golf course like a little spoiled brat that’s why he doesn’t win in clutch situations. You never see Scheffler or Koepka get upset throw their club down lower their head shrug their shoulders never they got that stone cold face of a champion. He doesn’t have ice in his veins.
