He’s such an annoying guy. He acts like a child and then complains that AK is acting like a child for calling him out. He even tried to claim AK is being told to say what he said 😂. He’s a pro at gaslighting
PGAT handed out hundreds of $millions to the top PGAT players in the PIP programme....
@@1362pc laughable. They finally start doing what is right and all of a sudden they start getting praised like they aren’t making money off them regardless
AK attacked him personally talking about who he married? That as low. AK has a punched in rat face from doing so many drugs. He should not be attacking anyone personally. Brandel said he was bought. He is. Not a big deal. He isn't good enough to play and make money on the Tour, so he has to play exhibition golf. Good for AK. Get your money dude. But stop the personal insults.
Let's be real, Kim is kinda a loser. He was given a god given talent and wasted it cause he wanted to do drugs. He had some injuries and has no spine to grind it out. Look at Tiger? His body is mangled and he is still out there grinding for the love of the game.
@@washredskin887 you act as if shambles didn’t attack every LIV player for the last couple years without one of them attacking him. He questioned their character constantly and then one of them responds to the idiocy and now people like you act as if shambles isn’t a rude and arrogant guy. And if shambles is so above AK then why did he respond in the way he did or even respond at all. You just attacked someone for their looks and past struggles. That’s pathetic
This guy spews falsehoods, outright lies, and invective, but other than that, he's got some interesting things to say🙄
Like what kind of lies
True. Jaoquin Niemann won 72 hole tournaments this year you clown Brandon!
LIV players are making way more than their worth. Sounds like jealousy. If Brandon is making minimum wage, he's overpaid.
The Golf Channel pays him well. LIV is trash. It's unwatchable.
Initially LIV tried to attract Tour members to sign with them with a tour comprised of events with $25M in prize money per event with a maximum of 54 players competing for that prize money. At the time, the 4 majors, which generate the highest revenue, offered the most prize money at $15M per event and PGA Tour events offered $8M - $12M per event in prize money with fields of 125 - 155 competing for that money. Despite offering players the chance to play for twice as much in prize money while competing against far fewer players, LIV wasn’t able to sign a single Tour player for the opportunity to earn significantly more in prize money. If LIV was such a great tour, why would players not flock to sign up to play against fewer players for over twice as much prize money? LIV has had to pay huge bonuses to sign Tour players for the opportunity to play for over twice as much in prize money against fields 1/3rd the size of Tour events. Think about that dynamic for a minute because having to pay anyone huge signing bonuses to earn over twice as much in prize money/regular income is counter-intuitive to what happens anywhere else. LIV effectively is paying players huge signing bonuses to eat a sh*t sandwich. LIV has to pay huge signing bonuses to compensate players for effectively giving up top tier competitive golf and play in a Wag The Dog pageant and marketing effort. If LIV was such a great place for top golfers to play, there would be no reason to have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to sign top players, as just the opportunity to play against far fewer players for twice as much in prize money would be a huge income boost by itself.
The money LIV players are making is more than they are worth because LIV will never be able to achieve any economic return on the operation of its events and the money they have to pay to players in those events. LIV events don’t come remotely close to generating enough revenue to cover the $25M in event prize money alone and there is a lot more in costs to stage an event than just the cost of prize money. Add the cost of all the signing bonuses LIV has paid and it is clear that LIV events will never generate revenue simply to cover the billions to cover those in cost, let alone provide an economic return on the capital needed to fund those costs. If any business cannot generate an economic return on the investment needed to cover the costs of operation of that business that inherently means the investmrnt to cover those costs is not worth it and what is paid to LIV players is the biggest cost of that enterprise. If LIV was a viable economic enterprise, it could/would be replicated or have already been done. If LIV folded, for example, would there be any entity or person who would/could step in and continue to pay huge bonuses and huge prize money to operate a similar tour? Not a chance. If the PHA Tour went out-of-business, would LIV continue to pay huge signing bonuses and huge prize money? Not a chance, as they wouldn’t have to in otder to get players to play in their events. Would LIV expand the size of their events to 125 - 150 players to provide a place for all Tour players to play if the PGA Tour went out-of-business? Maybe they would and maybe not, but their current shotgun start format can only accommodate a maximum of 54 player fields, so it is clear that LIV didn’t contemplate fields larger than 54 players in it tour format.
hypocrite
Verbal diarrhea.
Does chamblee realise how unliked he is ?? I mean the things he spouts ... and that no one on Liv is any good ? It would love to be living in such a self delusional world ... where he thinks Jon Rahm and Cam Smith are going to go to qualifying school ???
Did he really say that the difference in pga tour events is that they play in windy conditions and therefore nothing from Liv means anything
Unliked by you, but liked by those with taste and class.
Whether you agree w/ Brandel are not, he pretty much is spot on with this opinions. You don't have to like them, I don't agree w/ all of them either, but this opinions are well thought out and have merit.
@@JeremiahAlphonsus Bingo. You said a mouthful.
Did anyone start watching the Golf Channel in the last couple years because of Brandel? I know a lot of people, including diehard PGA fans who have stopped watching because of his and Lynch's divisive rhetoric and personal attacks which hurt the game more than it helps. but are there a lot of new fans because of his antics?
Shamblee and Lynch think personal attacks on tour players is fun.....they are failed people who thrive on hatred
Nope. I stop watching it
Yes Lynch is tool #1 and branded is big tool #2
Yes I stopped watching, so did many friends. The Golf Channel sadly became an outlet of hate/bias propaganda for the PGA. It doesn't have any interest in expanding golf to a world wide audience. They make more noise about LiV than LiV does about them.
I used to really dislike Brandel until LIV came along. Brandel nails it every time on the subject of LIV. Love Lynch's commentary ever more. PGA all the way baby.,🏌
Chamblee (bigotry aside, strictly golf related) strikes me as a closed minded dinosaur that is about to be left behind. Things change.
LIV Golf IS NOT change..... they can't even compete with Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the CW...... much less compete with the PGA Tour.... they are a clown show, anyone with opinions such as yours are either blissfully ignorant, or you just have your head up your a$$...
Shamblee was an average journeyman tour player....a total narcissist who is full of hate, and lies none stop
💯 %
@@1362pcan average journeymen tour player is one of the best players on the planet.
Change doesn’t necessarily mean good just because it’s change
Brandel knows NOTHING.
Rors went from Project X 6.5 to 7.0 shafts as he started to pump massive iron, getting ripped and then what happens? The shaft is too stiff so he can't turn the ball over as much. At the same time, the ball has gained ball speed so what happens to things that travel fast? They don't CURVE as much. They can't. Unless it slows down. But he, along with everybody else, are going to swing the same way just to get the ball out there. There's a reason why a lot of players hang onto old versions of golf balls for this precise reason!! So Rors has DOUBLED his problems with those 2 things, when he should have at least stuck to the original shaft that was working with the same workouts, instead of doing massive dead lifts trying to huff his chest out in his shirt. The ball travelling faster off the face doesn't really help either, especially when you're trying to carve a draw into things that he was doing when he was winning all the time, now the ball is traveling that much straighter with less spin. So what does he have to do? Try to mitigate some of it by hitting cuts to add more control and more spin, but then he's added a two-way miss into his game that he has not recovered from!!!
LIV is not a stupid format!!!! You know who's stupid? The old idiots who are sitting on their high horse in the PGA echelons and the meaningless OWGR that basically says that other leagues around the world don't play at the same level as the US!! which is complete BS, I'd like to see the likes of Scheffler and Thomas and Spieth and Homa play AWAY FROM HOME IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY for WEEKS AT A TIME away from their house, away from their WAGS, away from their home comforts in countries that don't speak their language, try it, TRY IT!!!! having to switch from the 90% humidity in SouthEast Asia one week and then going to the dry deserts of the Arabian peninsula to the jungles of Africa - every other week!!!! Try it!!!! I can guarantee you that regardless of the money purses, they could not perform at the levels they are performing playing at home in the US!!!!
The old guards in the world of golf need to get lost, they need to go away and bury their prejudices and the new world of golfers like us need to take over the game and make it into a truly global one, which is what Greg is trying to do, look at how happy the Aussies are that they finally have something they can bring to their land at the high world-class level of competition.
Such a bigot Chambles is , but he represents his ugly old people well!!!!
Spot on sir! Finally someone gets it.
Sorry Greg....didn't read. Read up on how to do paragraphs.
@@tomdallas3690 That is ONE paragraph. Go get an education lol
Well said, it’s about losing control the Americans cannot let go of, the Americans were against Norman for decades.
Chamblee lost credibility on his views. He’s human clickbait
You da man Matt… we need you as a voice in the mainstream
That said I wish this was more of a debate… but I get it
I don't know why Brandel is still going on about how bad the Saudis are when he now openly wants a deal with them. He can claim it's out of necessity all he wants but if we are really talking about murders as he says then that's not now morality works. If he was really true to his principles he would resign after the Saudis invest, anything less shows that all he has is empty words.
Loved the interview as it gave me insight. Thank you for hosting it so well.
A few times early I felt like I was in grade school.
‘He told him to do it’! (aka the theory of Phil M telling AK to give BC a hard time on social media 😂)
Golf is not a game that only has niche interest, btw.
As someone who recently has been fascinated by golf and what surrounds it of late, it is very narrow minded to think that way.
That thinking is an issue.
Matt - thought you conducted a superb interview - not just a betting pundit 😀
I believe Norman approached LIV in regard his idea on the game of golf which the PGA has been boycotting no matter what for decades. And “Chumblee” is displaying the fight against LIV just like Finchem. Chumblee is lucky to have a job in golf.
Listening to Chamblee - he is so extreme in his view on Liv -- Equivalent divisive Character as Keifer Sutherland in Mississippi Burning -
He lies about everything
5:35 Jay Monahan let his pride overrule his thoughts, words & deeds
Those players didn't cost the PGA tour, the PGA tour hoarding the money cost the PGA tour, and allowed defection.
To say that money would have been put to increase purses is laughable.
Brandel is a turkey...
Retire already
Australians don’t eat hot dogs ramble
He was just confused bc he keeps eating AKs hotdog every time he tries to burn AK
I caddied for some LIV players at shell bay last October…. And I’ll leave the name out but the one caddie of a major champion wirh a skinny blond wife who’s dad is a legend……his
Brother said “NO ONE would turn down that type of money. Anyone criticizing is hating “
Scottie may not be very animated, but he is an amazing draw. If he continues this trend, people will be drawn to the records and legends that he creates.
🥱 💤 😴
I wish all the PGA supporters would stop causing division with LIV players. Jay started that crap, and all his backers, like Brandel, keep stroking the division. LIV is causing change for golf to the better. It is good to see golfers have contracts so they can spend more time with their families, "like other pro sports."
Why bag AK ? That’s a low act.
LOVE HOW YOU DONT SUGAR COAT WHAT SAY..... YOU SAY WHAT THE TRUTH... YOU DO A GREAT JOB.... KEEP DOING IT BRANDEL
Brandel isnt just a gas bag, people... has well thought out points and he knows a ton of data. whether you agree with him or not, he is good to listen to and should be respected
Ramble!
People on here are being way too critical of Brandel. If you don’t share his opinions that’s fine but the personal jabs towards him are mostly unwarranted, way out of control and only prove his point regarding social media posts. Whether you like Brandel or not Brandel is highly intelligent and his positions are well thought out. I don’t always agree with Brandel but I always enjoy listening to him. As far as I’m concerned he’s a master at his craft and should be viewed as such.
Sure but if he was just more open minded and diplomatic he wouldn’t piss off so many people. I agree he is very smart and has a lot to bring but he needs to loosen up and get out of his own way.
@@mikerogers1949 I don’t think he cares at all about pissing people off, nor should he.
Don't throw personal jabs back at the guy throwing personal jabs is your take? This dbag started it.
The Golf channel has limited its potential viewers by keeping him on. He gets to spout opinions, and so do we!
@@steverogers7381 This dbag started it is your take? How old are you?
It is not irrational to spend the money like they do. It is leverage, and an eventual partnership. More importantly, it is part of what Brandel says is sportswashing. What they are doing is totally rational for their intended goal (aside from stupid team golf, shotgun starts, and 54 hole tournaments....those three things are beyond irrational and stupid).
Here to hate listen 😂
I'm sorry but i know I've played in alot of scrambles and leagues and its always been shot gun starts and only 1 round not three. In saying that the good golfers always played good and were always playing good even if they didnt win. The liv ways are fine its not that hard to figure out how good they are to compete in pga and doing so im sure they would open up to encompise more players to come play even if they were on pga tour. Like or dislike saudi's is irrelevant thay are here to stay in the sport of golf. I don't agree with alot of what he said but he's got that were the best but acts like no one other than pga tour is only way to play. Pga tour was a monopoly and made other tours look bad. Im in America and will always be American. I wish i could watch more DP tour here but they strangle viewing options and time zones make watching hard. Another reason youtube golf has taken off. The commercials and time away from watching them play is killing pga tour. They are gonna try to control you watching golf and liv is showing you how that can be done. The older crowd dont like that, I'm 54 and enjoy watching golf more now online than on tv. You have to have cable or peacock, paramount and espn just to watch pga tour.Just my thoughts!
The leading 6 all start on the first on a Sunday in Liv.
And nobody knows it because nobody cares.
@@tomdallas3690 except they do! You obviously care enough to comment, but keep kidding yourself. You just can’t bare others watching something different! You jog on and let us watch extra Golf.
I thought Brandel Chamblee handled this interview very well. I was impressed with his answers, his knowledge and use of the English language and was very thought provoking! I liked this interview very much and am impressed!
@@mikerogers1949 Your comment isn’t worthy of a 12-year-old Mean Girl (no offense to 12-year-old Mean Girls intended).
Open the books PGA.
No one gets into a major because they average 75 GIR or play 15 under par. You are shown to be the best when you win tournaments or finish high up on the leaderboard. Not hard to understand. The ones that do the best within the tour are the best players deserving to be considered for majors.
If you don't like the format then fine, award less ranking points. But you can't ignore the fact that there needs to be some ranking points awarded. If you don't want to award ranking points then at least give exemptions the top X players.
The 4 majors are conducted by 4 different and independent organizations, none if which is the PGA Tour. Augusta National GC, the R&A, the USGA and the PGA of America all have different criteria for how their fields are determined and that criteria is oublic information. Thise 4 organizations are under no obligation to run their major event any way ither than the way they choose to operate their events. Every player who signed with LIV knew that LIV events don’t meet the long-stated criteria to offer ranking points. LIV players knew their ranking would drop if they only played in LIV events and their ability to qualify for majors nased upon world ranking would be at risk and this is one risk that LIV players were compensated for through the huge signing bonuses. Regardless of world rankings, LIV players always have the opportunity to gain entry into The Open & US Open by playing their way in through qualifying events, which is how the vast majority of past and present PGA Tour players attempt to gain entry to those events. Only the Top 50 in automatically qualify for those two events based solely upon world rankings. There are a lot more than 50 PGA Tour players, not to mention players on other tours, so most players who try to gain entry to those majors do so by playing qualifying events.
There is only one difference between my stupid opinions and Brandel Chamblee's. He has one more win on the PGA Tour than I do.
I'm feeling almost elated clicking on the comments section and seeing my opinion on this guy almost perfectly mirrored by every top commenter. He's an ass. I can't figure out why the Golf channel and NBC keep him on. He must have some great dirt on the executives over there.
brandel is the best voice in golf. the public hates opinionated people.
You are fooling us, nice try Brandels mom
Chumblee needs the Nobilo treatment.
Ask BC if he met his second wife while she was playing in the McDonald's ball pit... just asking because i read it on X ... ??? Anyone?
And how he met his wife (regardless how that was) is relevant because…..? Or do you just eant to spread hate and petty bullsh*t?
@dorothygale1104 Nah...wanna know why a man would want a woman 30 years younger than himself....part of my thesis.
Hey brandel, tell us about the integrity of infidelity
I used to like Chamblee years ago. But I've lost all respect for him, the way he's handled the whole LIV controversy. His comments in this video cracked me up. He talks about Kim being "juvenile". The one who is juvenile is Chamblee! The way he ranted and raved about LIV and tried to vilify every player who went there was beyond juvenile. And practically all his claims have been totally bogus, like calling it "blood money".
I agree with Brandel's comments that these great players changing coaches and changing their swings while they're playing great is a big mistake.
Chamblee comes across as disingenuous and crass...moving on.
Brandel has made commentating interesting to Me , he is unapologetic and says things that these little baby’s on todays golf tours can’t handle .
Preach Brandel, agree with everything you have said. Terrible product staffed with malcontents; good riddance. I’m hoping Tiger and players on the board tell LIV there is no deal and move on, just because someone spends copious amounts of cash doesn’t mean it guarantees a seat at the table….
PIF has already moved on, they don't to partner with a crooked organisation like PGAT
Lost his tour card 7 times
Shame Chamblee is not spelled w/ S bc he deserves the initials BS. Looking forward to AK dunking on him again
I’m not a fan of Chamblee, but Anthony Kim is the last person in the world I would line up behind.
This guy is insufferable. He can't comprehend that people outside of the US don't care about the PGA tour and want a strong DP World Tour as priority. Yet the reward for doing well on the DP World Tour is losing our most attractive players to the PGA.
The most delusional pundit in all professional sports...
Who cares what Branden Chamblee has to say😂😂😂.
Brandel - Scotty slips in wet weather. He wont win this week
This guy is so out of touch.
He is so out of touch with reality...
He should be gone!
Dechambeau was awful during recent LIV events. Everyone seems to be mentioning him, but he spends most of his time doing TH-cam videos, and cannot possibly be sharp.
LIV killed golf. Maybe that was the intent.
LIV has pushed the PGAT after years of being at the top of the pack and not pushing themselves. While I’m not a huge fan of the LIV putting line or loud music, they are globalizing the game bringing events all around the world, bringing a team aspect (still needing refining), and pushing compensation as a result pgat has now started doing, especially with rookies and caddies.
Wrong
actually LIV put a charge into the PGA Tour. by the way, back in Dec 1968 it was Nicklaus along with middleman Arnie Palmer & 200 other pro golfers that broke off of the PGA of America to create the PGA Tour.........why? for more money and they had the approval from the TV stations. Sound familiar?
Too bad the PGA was so greedy. Thank God for Phil for exposing them. You are a disgrace as a representative of the PGA. By the way; the only way I can watch the PGA is to record it, so i can cut out all the cotton-pickin commercials. That why i enjoy watching all my favorite players on LIV GOLF. Very few commercials.
