REAL STRUGGLES of a tour pro! Would they join LIV if offered? 

Another down to earth honest hard working professional golfer. Well done Rick. I hope Ryan achieves his goals this year. Class podcast👏👏

Amazing maturity from a 25yr old, real refreshing and honest bloke, good luck mate

IMO, the content creators on RU-vid are the ones who are helping to grow the game more than the pro tours at the moment. Channels such as yours, Grant's, Good Good, GM Golf, Pete's, Bryson's, and so many others are bringing people together and making golf fun and relatable. I just subbed to Ryan's channel as well. Great interview, as usual.

Ryan is class, just shows how tough pro golf is

47:27 the team thing, yah. The Majesticks are doing a really good job in releasing their training camp behind the scenes stuff on RU-vid. So relatable content, banter and getting the young gun under the wings of the major winners and respected nearly senior, ”second place man” - men.

Excellent commentaries. Interesting listing to all your views on today’s golf. Thanks

Shows how good PGA tour guys are when a talent like Ryan doesn't have a tour card

Just subscribed to Ryan's channel, great golfer.

Rick in Orlando is awesome! So many great courses, play Championsgate if you get a chance.

Ryan seems like a really good dude, wish him the best.

Always excited to see Ryan on the channel and podcast. Didn't know he had a youtube channel. Subscribed now 🤙

Did Rick just finish his UPS shift?

He’s a good guy Ryan, enjoying seeing him on the various channels lately. His channel is a good one too.

Sir, huge fan, but could you possibly do a video on shafts? The ins and outs are so confusing. Appreciate you!

Rick, you should try to get out to Solina with the Bryan Bros

Being from EU I would like hear you take and to see you play the links course at the Evermore Grand Cypress. Its claimed to be a Jack Nicklaus St Andrews replica. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Cant wait to check this course out though looks great!

Rick, if you’re still here in OTown, let me take you to Grande Lakes, where the Father Son is played!

Darkspeed… interesting! I feel cobra is under credited. Nice work Rick 😊

I’d love to see Rick play in the AT&T ProAm at Pebble! Thoughts? Let’s make it happen.

$900 for Sawgrass? 😳That's over $1300 Aussie dollars. It would cost me more to play 2 rounds of golf in the US than it costs to fly there 😵‍💫 Ryan is great bloke, and has a solid game. I wish him all the best for his career development.

Ryan is a top guy. Wish him all the best. Like he says, if he was on TOUR now I would instantly be more interested in him and his results because of his RU-vid profile.

Rick are you doing any fan meetups while here in the states?!

Good choice on driver

As a golfer still trying to break through & trying to achieve a permanent tour card, Ryan should be thrilled with live golf for opening more potential positions in all leagues / competitions!

People talk about PGA or DP golfers not being loyal all day everyday. It gets old. How about a RU-vid golf tournament where half of it is on Peacock?

LIV is really diluting my enthusiasm to watch pro golf. I totally agree.

Rick, golf is in a great shape! Competition is good! PGA has controlled the game of golf forever! Liv, whether it last or not, has shook the golf world UP! PGA players will receive alot more money now, thanks directly 2 LIV! P.S. there is a lot of golf courses that would eat u up right now! However, I do believe u r trending in the right direction?

The star power "myth" is that just because big time players are there- it doesn't mean they will play well. If you are not in the last four groups, they dont show you on the broadcast. TW was the nly one you count on to play well every week. LIV getting RAhm was gigantic...

Good interview. (very suspect editing though lol)

I don't get the whole "it's too fractured" and "players here players there" arguments. There were already a bunch of tours prior to Liv. Football/soccer is the most popular sport in the world and the best players aren't in a single league nor tournament. Closest thing is the Champions League, but even that one is bound to miss out on "the best", which is why the whole European Super League thing became a thing. Also unlike the best football leagues in the world, watching every single event of the PGA Tour-which was supposed to be the best-made absolutely no sense even to a devoted golf fanatic. Too many events and always had to look up if the field was going to be strong. The only sane thing to do was to only pay attention to the 4 majors.

When I clicked on the video my first thought was "who is this UPS driver sitting on a couch?"

Difficult to see your point about the LIV top leaderboards, but if you meant the PGA Tour top leaderboards where we rarely see any stars anymore, then it makes sense. But about LIV, take a look at the top 15 Sunday in Mayakoba and tell me if this isn't a real super star top board nothing really is. Just saying.

Refreshing work ethic and attitude from a guy who, let's be honest, probably could've gone the way of Paris Hilton and or any so-called "nepo baby" and just lived off his parents who were world class tennis players. He chose a harder life and hard struggle. Good on him.

HELL YES! He would join LIV 4 $5,000,000 or less! Love Ryan, I have kept up with him ever since he was a teenager DownUnder! He would b a great fit for an ALL downunder TEAM!

Would they join LIV IF OFFERED? And that is the problem. LIV is like your local (gentleman's only) golf club 30 years ago. Membership by invitation only. The other Tours might be restrictive, but at least (in theory) anyone can get a place at an Open.

Talking LIV, the current team element doesn't work for me. I think they should have more of a match-play format. So, if they stick to the 3 days, then day one and two are the individual stroke play days with no team element, then on the third day they have the teams split into pairs and complete against other team pairs in a Ryder Cup match play format, morning fourballs afternoon foursomes. The results then go into a points league across the season and each team plays each other at least once. That would peak my interest more than the current format.

Some of the holes at Mayakoba are 114yd with the pins on flat areas near the center of the greens. Obviously the course is set up to surrender 59s or lower. Just a joke.

Great content as usual. No content on H.I.T channel for 4 months

Why do LIV insist on playing music round course. Its just really odd!

Rick - "I can't connect with the teams" then goes on to say the very next second, he supports Lewis Hamilton and feels the Mercedes team is English, cause for some reason he's stuck on teams focusing on nationality to give him something to root for, but doesn't realize Mercedes is German. This guy is just full of contradictions, i think he talks just to hear himself.

Geez, how is this guy only 25

2 questions for Ryan: Playing the LIV Q event didn't make him loose any chances with the PGA sanctioned events? And second, I believe the PGA owns the image rights of its players, I believe they can't just generate content on their own.

I disagree that we need all the best players together playing week in week out. However the 4 majors need to have all the best players in the world.

$900 to play Sawgrass ! What a joke . Pebble Beach must be charging $1500 a round if that's the case .

Just shows how far European (dp) tour has fallen, didn't mention wanting to join that tour...

Evaluating the state of the Golf World only by evaluating the professional component I think is a very poor way of looking at the game we love. The reality is golf is much, much bigger than the professional level and the truth is golf has grown enormously since COVID. Most people that I talk to enjoy playing the game more than watching others play it. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching the pro's but I also know it's a different world to us the majority, who play the game primarily because we love it regardless of how good or bad we are at it. The professional game is being put to the test and it's a test if change, the sport of cricket would be a great example if embracing change and it's time golf at that level did the same. When you say something like it's in a poor state, it really sounds like a dinosaur speaking. All change involves some stretching and pulling, some perturbation prior to the rebirth, that's where it is now. You can be a traditionalist and be left behind or realise it's time for change, it's happening anyway so you may as well embrace it instead of the constant negativity.

both tours are becoming diluted without doubt there's decent players on them however your looking at only a handful on each tour that will probably win each event. It's as Rick says it's becoming a sport that more about the money rather than the game. I dont have any issue with what who earns what and ive loved what Bryson's trying to do with RU-vid I can see more people watching online content rather than tournaments I only watch majors now im sure others will be the same.

I'm really sad about the state of golf. The thing that bothers me the most about it is that the pif are just throwing so much money at it that it is making the PGA tour have to try to up their purses. It's hurting sponsors of tournaments that have stood by these events for years and years. The Saudis don't care if they make a monetary return on their investment in golf. They are using our great game like another game to improve their world image. I just hate how things have turned out. It's just not all about money. Without the money these players are getting for joining liv, they wouldn't be there. It all just feels so hollow. Just knowing the huge fracture it puts in the game would've been enough to keep me from joining. I mean, for goodness sake, is the multiple millions of dollars these guys were earning from the PGA tour seriously not enough? I personally enjoy watching these young, hungry new players on the PGA and dp world tour that have had an opportunity due to the open spaces. Lastly, Adrian meronck gets voted for and awarded dp world tour player of the year and then turns around and abandons his tour when they need him the most? Come on. That's a pretty d*ck move if you ask me. There's no loyalty anymore anywhere it seems. I think these guys are just spoiled ah.

If you don't see all of the best players in the Majors anymore...will it still be a "Major"? I would think that if the Majors don't want to follow OWGR's path and become as irrelevant, they would have to allow and invite LIV players...otherwise they run the risk of just loosing their aura and becoming just 4 more PGA Elevated Events

Its time to get two of the majors out of America

I try to watch a bit of PGA Tour now and again, but it bores the life out of me. When I try to watch the highlights it's like the Rory channel. I prefer to watch YT content.

Rick without PING 😥

Do not Agree Rick, more golf to watch

I really could care less if I watch golf at all now. It just seems to have lost its appeal altogether. Having players spread out all over the place is really the biggest problem.

Please stop bragging about how much content you’ve got when you’re barely releasing content at the minute

Sorry but I want to change the subject. Giveaways??? Freebies???? Are the most stressful, painful and annoying part of you guys You Tube videos. It should be exciting. And that's what you guys intended. But I've been had on yours, Mat F, James R, and Pete F. I watch you all and love you all to bits. But scamming which can't be controlled and you all say be careful. I was just on, wel I think telegram with one of the other guys. I was dubious when I was asked what I think was to much information. So I voiced my concerns and asked him a question from one of his You tube videos. The response. Do you want the prize or not. Just give me your details. I can give the prize to someone else. I declined. If it was which I very much doubt. Has put me in a mood I don't want to watch you guys anymore. I feel stressed, angry, and disillusioned. Surely there must be a solution????

PGA doesn't need the Liv golf now, after the announcement yesterday...Liv golf is exhibition golf...period

Jeez, doesn't this bloke ever stop whinging about LIV?? Stop 'kin crying, if you don't like it don't watch! Watch him change the narrative when Rory joins next year...

Lads. Can we stop pretending LIV is about business. It's a sportswashing project and exactly as they predicted. It's starting to work. Eventually, people get used to it and the conversation changes but it's blood money pure and simple.

Better without Guy !
