It’s funny, I was down at the Titleist Performance Institute in California back in April for work, and they explained how Taylormade pays Scortie to not have the Titleist brand beside his name on the leaderboard for what ball he uses. Titleist doesn’t care but Taylormade sure does
Enjoyed the podcast! Guy, the lone female in Sweden after 3 Rounds was my former Clemson Tiger, Alice Hewson, from England. Sadly, she too struggled on her final round and ended her efforts T-12th Place . . . but I’m sure she enjoyed the higher payday due to the Men being involved!!! Rick, please get a collaboration with Iona, Grant, yourself and Peter . . . Split up however you like, but the characters together would be phenomenal!!! Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us here in North Carolina!!!
My first time to see Rick and Guy on a podcast, and really enjoyed it..thanks guys. Scottie and Nelly are amazing golfers, but they are both really great role models,as well.
I think…. Could be wrong. But I work in a full service family owned high end golf shop. The reason for September is because that’s when people start to trade-in and look towards the next season. I don’t keep track of our sales but your Titleist guys will buy it right away. Most will wait to get fit and get it in Feb/march. You also have a Xmas sales aspect.
Pro Golf today is not really Golf. It's a long driver & putting contest. That is why places like The Old Course are still challenging today. It's a course designed for golfers.
Would love to see you do a break 65 with Pete and Guy once open qualifying is done. Pete’s game is taking off, yours is improving and we all love guy. Would love to see a 3 man scramble break 65 with you all.
The discussion around the mindset of having the big lead was interesting. You could argue the same happened to McIlroy at the open and masters, but the other side of that I think is the fact that it allows the opposition to play with freedom and aggression
The US Open is going to be a blast this week. No rain & hot weather in the forecast. Gonna be dry and firm. Will look like a different sport than the PGA at Valhalla lol
Caldy still a nice course, I may pop along and see how you do. After watching the qualifiers at west lancs last year I was so surprised at the level of scoring, as good as a DP/LIV/PGA event standard wise (but much quicker and nicer to watch)
Caldy is brilliant, I play there all the time with my father in law! Gutted I’m away on holiday so not going to be there to watch this year. If you fancy a practice round, give me a shout 😂
Rick who gives a flip what people say about you competing in tournaments. Saying that you won’t make it and all this bs. You are doing it, people are just jealous they aren’t. Do your thing man and who gives a crap what others think or say. I hate the internet sometimes.
Can u remember the GT303 stainless driver. The heads used to explode because they weren’t strong enough making a stainless steel head that big. The amount of times I had to ring up to get warranty for a customer took me ages to do every Monday when I got to work after the weekend. They eventually just replaced them with the gt363 titanium driver. Those GT irons came with those graphite tip and steel bodied iron shafts. They were a weird concept
Can you PLEASE do a review of the new Vice golf clubs. Been using their balls for the most part since your review on them. They just announced the release of clubs and soooo intrigued to see if they are as good as their balls.
the best golf last weekend was actually the LPGA. on the final day, linnea strom came back from last place (tied for 52nd) to win. she shot a 60 to go from -3 to -14 to take the victory. it was the biggest comeback in LPGA history. that was far more exciting to watch than the PGA, LIV or the DP tour!!
To me it's insane that the Olympics didn't choose mixed team golf as a format. They had the opportunity to create a brand new and modern tournament riding on the obvious love for the Ryder cup, but just implemented another standard tournament.
No he wouldn’t because he’s not as good at golf. Missing greens with wedges isn’t a mental issue, he sometimes has poor technique, can’t flight wedges..
Maybe it's just me. I can't imagine buying golf equipment, or really most things, based on some famous person using it. Maybe when I was a teenager. But adults, who gives a hoot if scottie uses the ball from TM or not. Just my opinion.
Funny thing is that I think greed for more material wealth results in many top players not reaching their full potential. Whether it’s doing too many commercials or having too many sponsorships, all those things affect a player. I’d presume the reason he’s not willing to change anything probably has a simple answer. Why would he change anything? He’s the best iron player in the game, has a swing that won’t damage his body over the long term and he’s winning on an insane level with exactly what he has right now. He’s like the reverse of the theory of insanity….he’s doing the same thing over and over and getting the same positive results.
I know I’m in the minority but I feel Scottie is in a zone right now, people tend to have short memories. Tigers ride was 10 plus years straight! Scheffler will have a few more wins and coast along and within another 12-18 months he’ll fade into a “slump” and become human again. I know it isn’t a popular take right now but it’s how I see it.
Good show, must admit watching PGA Tour event's these days is a hard watch, its like watching Man City watching Scottie S as they both always win, the commentary could send you to the nutty farm, both Sky (advert city) and Golf Channel!!!! LIV is a good watch, single player and Team concept, only 5 hrs to watch, good commentary team, no adverts. 4 rounds of golf might be for the purists but its like watching a test match 😢, US Open this week so 3rd time this year best player's assemble, thats what fans want to see!
Clearly Scheffler values the wedges and Pro V1 more than the big bucks TaylorMade will be offering. Maybe the quality and consistency of a brand really does matter?
Sports are driven by superstars, dynasties. I different winner every week would definitely drive people away. You need the guy to root towards greatness. And to root against, if that's your thing. Either way, eyes will be drawn to the sport.
Scheffler has already earned $24 million in '24 using a ProV1, and it is only June... I don't think TM can pay him enough to even entice him to try the TP5 and possibly mess with his winning setup.
One player dominant is way more fun to follow as a fan. We are a star driven consumer society now. Tiger was the most compelling element of golf in my lifetime. Scottie is exuding a whiff of that type of dominance, and in golf, which can get plain and vanilla, is that star player is needed. There always has to be a north star in golf.
How can you compare scottie with tiger , tiger was unstoppable for decades , so was jack , rory , JT , speith, john rahm ,cam smith they all have hot patches but no ones form carries on throughout decades , you cant even compare for another 8 years , do you think he will still be on fire then ? Lets wait and see
Golf seems like the one sport where it would be easy to adjust the game for both women and men to compete with each other. I would love to see them do it!
Callaway and Taylormade are marketing companies like Nike used to be -- it's more about bringing out the next new "thing" than having actual game improvement instruments. Just look at the way they bandy "AI" about -- it's the hot topic so they're riding it. All SMOKE and mirrors so to speak.
@@spncrmoo 5 of the top 10 in the 2020 fed ex cup are now in LIV. And about half of the top 50 are in LIV. Along with the other big names I would say that is a majority.
How do you opine for so long about how amazing a golfer is, how winning he is, how DOMINANT he is and completely ignore that Rahm, Koepka, Bryson, Smith, DJ and even Mickelson are banned. Even going so far as to compare him to Tigers Dominance in the most compromised field outside of wartime. All those guys have won majors in the last 3-4 years and have finished top 5 in one major or the other recently that they've played. All this talk about how dominant Scottie is in a clearly compromised field is bunk. Jason Day is apparently rank 21 in the world rankings right now? Come on. He's had 1 win in 5 years and been a non-factor in majors except a rare T2 the last 4 years. Ludvig Aberg is a top 6 golfer apparently and ranked higher than Rahm. Be real guys.
It’s never boring during Tiger’s dominance because he’d always come up with some crazy wild shotmaking or recovery.

It’s good for once the player that wins doesn’t finish at 20 under, the pro’s should struggle like we do once in a while

I am shocked there was no love from the Godfather of YT golf for unlikely ace from Bob Does Sports...an instant classic of YT video.
Bob appeals to a certain demographic... I'm not it...
Open qualifying can't go as poorly as Pete's +9 first round at the PGA Championship today. Nothing to lose, Rick.
Would love to see you do a break 65 with Pete and Guy once open qualifying is done. Pete’s game is taking off, yours is improving and we all love guy. Would love to see a 3 man scramble break 65 with you all.
65? If those 3 can’t break 60 in a scramble there’s something wrong.
Love seeing a new upload. Listening on my train ride to work. Cheers from Toronto. 🎉

The great quote from reporter it's actually a quote from Tiger.

Was first time I screamed go minge go
Scheffler is the man to watch,what he is doing is another world...
the guys outstanding
Ahh gotta love new random pains. Hope it passes soon
What is the clubhouse episode you refer to at the end
McDowell won US Open at Pebble, not Bethpage.
To me it's insane that the Olympics didn't choose mixed team golf as a format. They had the opportunity to create a brand new and modern tournament riding on the obvious love for the Ryder cup, but just implemented another standard tournament.
No one would watch it.
What’s next? Scrambles?
Off to the Chiropractor Guy
If Rory had Scottie's mental game he would be unstoppable!
No he wouldn’t because he’s not as good at golf. Missing greens with wedges isn’t a mental issue, he sometimes has poor technique, can’t flight wedges..
Rory hits more amazing shots than anyone but he also hits a lot of bad shots.
@@Cornwall1888true dat think its his aggressive style where Scottie always looks so smooth with a wedge in his hand
Scottie also has a proper caddy
I see you've noticed also. Rorys main weakness is mental and that's not good as it was Jack and Tigers biggest strength
I thought they discontinued the irons and wedges
As it happens. My p790’s need replacing 😅
Guy ‘question for you then’ charnock
Costco seems to be doing some quality stuff.
Hey Rick,
I live in Hoylake, do you mind if I come down and walk round with you as you play?
Maybe it's just me. I can't imagine buying golf equipment, or really most things, based on some famous person using it. Maybe when I was a teenager. But adults, who gives a hoot if scottie uses the ball from TM or not. Just my opinion.
Scheffler is in a magical place few have been...
The comment about Scotties putting came from Tiger talking about him I believe.
Taylormade paid titleist back so he didn’t have to do promo for titleist
Scottie is benefitting by the departures of better players to LIV eg Rahm, DeChambeau, DJ
Here in Australia I watched LIV cause it’s the 1 thing I don’t have to pay to view

Is Guy wearing a Bear Crawl Rhoback hoodie? Since when has he become a Bryan Bros. follower? (don't hear the chair boys)...
I know I’m in the minority but I feel Scottie is in a zone right now, people tend to have short memories. Tigers ride was 10 plus years straight!

Sodaberg must hire a sports physiologist he is a great player with Ricks mental game 😂
"Emergency HIT filming"... Proceeds to put it on the main channel 😂
congratulations to scottie scheffler on his 2024 US open win. well deserved 🎉
I wonder if they'll offer fitting after watching this...?

Vertex and Kenyon sorted Scotty’s putting
Google Vertex
GT was a former Adams driver
Clearly Scheffler values the wedges and Pro V1 more than the big bucks TaylorMade will be offering. Maybe the quality and consistency of a brand really does matter?
No comment about the US OPEN ? No predictions?
11 wins in 3 years is incredibly impressive.
Imagine winning 9 times in one season at the age of 41 😮
Adams had a GT driver in the early early 00s, I wonder if TaylorMade purchased the name for it, lawsuit incoming!!
Sports are driven by superstars, dynasties. I different winner every week would definitely drive people away. You need the guy to root towards greatness. And to root against, if that's your thing. Either way, eyes will be drawn to the sport.
Adams had a GT range.
Send them to Denmark 🙏🔥🔥 we will let you win in the Euros again then!
Sunak & Starmer work for the same people 🎉
Scotty is dominating half the field, so many superb players awol
thats EXACTLY how I describe Scheffler. if he putts poorly, he will still compete. if putting well, he cannot be beat
That's how Jack was, and it contributed to his longevity. Even on the Champions Tour later, he could still putt.
Kirkland irons 🙌
Scottie is the GOAT
Not yet ⛳
No different than Tiger using a Bridgestone ball.
who is caddying for rick?
Scheffler has already earned $24 million in '24 using a ProV1, and it is only June... I don't think TM can pay him enough to even entice him to try the TP5 and possibly mess with his winning setup.
Brooks Koepka big final round at LIV...watch him at US Open...
The LIV-Trotters from the 54 Exhibition League will not be on the leaderboard Sunday.
Bryson will be
Is that you Brandl😅😅😅
scared to admit about competition so if you shoot 90 you have an excuse. why all the lessons and equipment changes then
Has guy jumped on the liv band wagon yet 😂
Team “Tor..key” 😂😂 it’s Torque (pronounced Tork) as in torque from a car 😂😂
They’re butchering the Spanish pronunciation
I watch far more DP tour than LIV much more interesting game
See if Iona is about to commentate to us instead you doing it so can concentrate

Board of one person winning. Clearly you dont watch the Max show(F1).
Why is it you don’t see European dominant players like you do Americans what is it? Are they just more aggressive?
Whatever he has it sure woks!
Rick saying he’d like Titleist to bring out a gawdy driver after whining for years about Mizuno drivers being blue lol
Haven’t watched yet but weird title.
But he hasn't so he's way behind Scottie...he's a close to tiger we've ever had
i have to say, if Scottie ends up beating Jacks record, which is very possible over a career for him... could you imagine how butt hurt Tiger will be?
I actually had no idea LIV was playing last weekend. Was to focused on watching Scottie
distracting cause Guy's chair made so much noise.
RIP Guys neck. Should we setup a go fund me for his recovery?
The DP World tour mixed event is the WORST!!!
I will say it what Scotty is doing is more dominant than what tiger has done. Coming from someone who has watched both.
LOL!!! What are you smoking?
Golf seems like the one sport where it would be easy to adjust the game for both women and men to compete with each other. I would love to see them do it!

Best players are in the LIV tour
He’s playing a lesser field in the PGA tour
Scotty is a beast but is it just coincidence that LIV started 3 years ago and took a majority of the top players.
