Was Anthony Kim playing LIV just a HUGE GIMMICK? 

65 today he let the clubs speak well done AK

Golf has never been easy to watch in developing countries. As someone who lives in Mexico, I find it extremely easy to watch LIV through RU-vid.

Rick seriously underestimating Jimmy Bullard. Bring it on!

Jimmy Bullard is gonna wipe the floor with Rick up the golf life army

The look on Rick's face when guy mentioned Jimmy Bullard 😂 that look said "NO"

Why do people hate LIV so bad? Seriously? They legit have the top players in the world. They have all the great golf personalities at the moment. Why does everyone defend the PGA Tour so much? I don’t get it. I am a fan of golf. I love golf. I have never cared about the PGA Tour, I just want to watch golf. Folks mention the history, blah blah. Well the history and matches that people care about is the majors. The majors are not the PGA Tour. Just love golf people!

It was his first competitive tournament since 2012 give the guy some slack. He was world class in his early twenties

He just shot a 65 on a relatively difficult day. Some people have a hard time seeing the process

I'm 63 years old and have played and watched golf for 40 plus years. I was anti Liv golf from the start. I decided to give it a chance this year and watched the first tournament in Mexico to see for myself, and to my surprize I loved it. So far from the stuffy atmosphere of the PGA tour show. I liked the relaxed atmosphere, fun music, wearing shorts like we can in real life( it is 2024), shotgun start, which shortens required viewing time, more accessible for viewing options, graphics and leaderboard info is awesome, the team setup is great, it is a game within a game. I have watched all three tournaments since and will definitely continue to do so. World rankings for sure needs to be fixed and the PGA tour will have to up their show if they hope to keep the attention of young people. Just my opinion and no one knows what I like more than me, just saying.

Kim deserves at least a chance to get there again. You may not like him coming back, but intrigue is why I watch LIV, not to see perfect shots over and over. Life is filled with unique events, so this was just that. LIV is different, and I like that, so give the league a break!

Give the people what they want! Rick shiels v Jimmy Bullard, 2 legends come on

Jimmy Bullard beats Rick. Rick massively underestimating Jimmy's game.

Rick vs Jimmy is going to be epic. One for the ages. Rick obviously didn't want to say it on camera here but clearly he meant that losing a golf match to a footballer would be unthinkable!

Rick deff running scared over the bulldog match, Bully is so much better than Rick!😋🤣

Why are you always so negative about LIV? Personally I think it’s better than the PGA Tour in terms of entertainment, certainly the names are bigger

Sorry rick bud Jimmy Bullard is twice the golfer you are he shot a great score at ryder cup venue and shot two under around glen eagles and only lost by one shot against ewan ferguson. He also played on the challenge tour and consistently shoots under par he would wipe the floor with you. Like fat perez

love this podcast, partly because i’m american and love the way yall talk but otherwise just great banter, relevant topics, get me entertained the whole time

The fact that Rick just dismissed Jimmy is MINDBLOWING, Jimmy would destroy Rick in both Match Play and Stroke play, Stroke play wouldn’t even be close! I hope he was trolling to build up some hype because if not Ricks delusional 😅

Watched the LIV Jedda on Saturday, which was my first time watching LIV, and the build-up was actually really good. Having Rachel Drummond walking up the range and stopping to chat with players kind of reminded me of the paddock before an F1 race. They're not too far from having a very good product. I don't watch much live golf but I'd almost prefer the LIV set-up from an entertainment event point of view.

Rick & Guy have something to say on LIV every week (not a bad thing), but that means what LIV are trying to achieve is working, sparking conversation. In my opinion the leaderboards on these LIV events are now better than the PGA week to week and i tune in for the names like i imagine most people do.

Jimmy Bulgaria is brilliant love watching him , that would be a must watch

Jimmy vs Rick is a great prospect..... Come on teams, make it happen 👍⛳️⛳️⛳️

A match against Jimmy Bullard for your channel. Scramble on golf life channel, and a podcast with Jimmy. This is gold content waiting to ignite!

Guy, calling LIV a circus, AK gimmick, losing credentials, farce, hahaha. He is such a LIV hater, the PGA tour are literally getting youtubers to compete for a spot right now ffs. They're an immature tour which desperately needs eyeballs, the strength of field is still far above the DP World Tour and probably half the PGA tour events now. If the PGA tour could've got AK to accept an event invite they absolutely would've done. He should've been talking about how special it was to get the myth, AK, to play again.

Jimmy Bullard is some player... And is fun to watch.

No chance you beat Jimmy 🤣🤣

I don't mind having all the different golf. I just like watching golf, especially during work days and having on in the background. If it's a close finish on Sunday, that's the most important thing for me to get hooked moreso than who is in the mix.

What did Will Zalatoris shoot in his first tournament back

I love it when Rugby is on tv in the states. It’s usually country vs country type tournaments. It’s so fun to watch and amazes the beating they go through!

Fav podcast for sure

Jimmy definitely talks a lot and is full of banter more than golf in the majority of their videos. Think he’s great for RU-vid golf. however when he’s actually being competitive against some of the pros etc he’s faced and has his head screwed on he can be a lot more serious and doesn’t mess about as much. Would be a brilliant match I think but yeh you’re right it did make you sound a little scared 😂 just get it on 🎉

Rick's "buckets" answer is the perfect set up to build up a good amount of hype on the Rick vs Jimmy match(Don King would be proud boyz!) Would enjoy viewing this more than any given pga or liv event. So set it up, bring it on and may the best man win.

Rick shiels running scared, doesn’t want to get embarrassed by an ex pro footballer. Rick would need 10 shots and Jimmy wins by a margin.

Just for some background.. AK had an injury and he made a claim against insurance, and was given a payout that required him to not even be allowed to swing a golf club otherwise he'd lose or have to payback the payout. That was the biggest reason for the disappearance.

I prefer LIV to most DP World Tour/PGA Tour events. I'm not bothered about Kim but enjoy watching Rahm, Cam Smith etc. Signature events on PGAT or Rolex on DPWT are more watchable. We need a world tour as Rory says.

you have to give AK some time it’s not a failed experiment, you need the season to jump to that conclusion, he needs to get comfortable again on that side of the ropes, build some confidence and some camaraderie to get him out of his shell again.

Jimmy would batter him!

Rick, your golf is much better when you're not distracted with the filming. Look at how you blitzed Augusta. Why not ask Iona if you can play the Bullard match on her channel where Iona introduces and referees the match? Then you boys can just get on and play.

AK shooting 65 on his 6th tournament is pretty impressive. He's improving way faster than anticipated. It looks like there's a fairly good chance the fairy tale story might become a reality soon. Greg Norman has more insight than most ordinary men. I'm sure he knows what he's doing and sees the potential in AK that no one sees.

Rick sleeping on how good Jimmy actually is. Would be a great match to watch, hopefully it gets made soon.

If McIllroy ever signs with LIV these two will not only wet their pants but will flip flop quicker than Rory. They're bagging Anthony Kim who hasn't played competitively for ages and yet continue to upload break 75 and consistently shoot 85 plus😂😂😂

How many shots you asking jimmy for mate?

From watching them both in the last year or so... my money would be on Bullard BUT don't dodge it like heavyweight boxers! Set it up and get it done. It would be massive!

When are you coming to Canada? So many neat golf courses here and the Canadian open! Wooden Sticks is pretty neat :-) love the podcast!

I would disagree with Guy's take on Anthony Kim. I don't remember hearing of him prior to him joining LIV, and I certainly did not tune in to see him. The only reason I watch LIV is because it is free on You tube, and I refuse to pay a subscription to other golf broadcasters.

I love to have you two as my golf partners! So fun.

Maybe its 1 pro you could beat with 10 under start.😂

I mean this will ALL respect, but I’m starting to feel as if Tiger is a “gimmick” for the PGA. Like Guy said, many of us tune in to see what will happen, and when he doesn’t finish or shoots a bad score, we come back for his next round to see if he improves. At some point we gotta call it all golf/sport/entertainment no matter the association hosting the event.

A Kim comeback would be one of the greatest stories in golf if successful. We would never know if that story will come true if not for LIV giving him a chance!!! Lot of Kim haters out there!!! Rick, Guy....are you haters?

What started as a gimmick is now developing into perhaps one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history. Hodl my beer.

Righto on the video stuff and talking through your shots I like it keep doing it I'm a 22 handicap and if playing well I'm lucky to hit 6-8 shots apart from putts a round that do exactly what I'm trying to do. If I'm playing bad then there could be none. On the fittings I'd like to see rick be fitted maybe only film the fittings that are big contenders for the bag. I mean if your going to get new sm10 wedges and you know they are going in the bag film the fitting. Or maybe film a fitting for driver, fairway, driving iron, irons, wedges and a putter fit.

Good to see AK shoot well on the last day of Hong Kong. He has a set of stock clubs he bought off the website and has no idea about trackman. So, I assume there is a lot of room for improvement in there when you also throw in the likes of modern Course Management strategies like Decade.

Do a full bag fitting with Club Champion. Would be a great collab and you'd try all of the brands so no bias.

Jimmy’s soft lemons vs Ricks fade slice…..

Just as much of a Gimmick as Tiger Woods teeing it up these days, if Tiger’s performing shite he loves to pull a get out of here Scott Free Card ! 🤒 🤕

Where I disagree with Rick & Guy regarding AK on what he was back in the day. He had star power and a very high potential. That’s why LIV made that savvy move. I don’t agree with LIV as a product, but credit where it’s due. They’re making audacious moves, something that PGA tour are too timid to do. Which is actually where the PGA tour is going to fall down

Sure it's a gimmick for eyeballs. So is a PGA event holding a RU-vid golfer tournament for an exemption. Yes, they do this stuff to get viewers. They exist for entertainment and this stuff works.

AK's round today was fuckin awesome

Rick if you can put up with the rubbish Guy talks about LiV you'll easily cope with Jimmy's banter!!.. you won't beat him though. 😂😂 Bulldog to win by 3 up 😉🤞

I’m genuinely shocked at Rick thinking he should beat Jimmy. Jimmy is a way better golfer

Sometimes I tune in just to see how Rick and Guy pronounce words and names. Like how Joaquin Niemann’s first name is pronounced Walk-Keen in America, and Wack-In in the UK.

Oooo shielsy no hate here but i duno i think bully would have your number!

How about the 5 under yesterday for AK? One of the top rounds... chat shit, get bang!

I would absolutely love to see AK knock the rust off and Start playing well again!! He was always a favorite, and can only make golf more fun to watch.⛳⛳⛳

12:30 - respect to Rick Shiels. AK did OK, and today he did amazing.

Hmm …. I wonder how long until Rick has ‘a match with AK’ on the channel?

Shot -5 after 12 years of non competitive golf. Hater hate. Circus my arse. Dreamers dream. He showed everyone that AK is well and truly still capable of performing. His score was better than John Rahm’s today.

The bulldog wipes the floor with you!

35:00 - switching to irons off the tee was a great strategy, it got you back in the match. Going into the par 4 18th one down and needing to win the hole, is sticking with an iron still the right play? Surely you have to bite the bullet and try to get a drive right up there to give yourself the best chance of sticking it close?

Sports illustrated world golf ranking is much more accurate than data golf.

Now your a fan of Rugby League Guy. I'd love to here a review of the recently played Rugby League games in Vegas

Jimmy is a scratch handicapper vs Rick off a 2/3. Surely Rick should expect to lose?

When Rory was recently asked that if he won the Masters and if he'd head off he didn't deny it.

Are RU-vidrs getting to qualify for a PGA tour event an even bigger gimmick 🤔

I think a serious match between Rick and Jimmy would still be a great video. Sometimes people want to watch a competitive battle so it wouldn't need anything. I'm sure it would get the views if it was a video with no talking.

AK shows the diffs between PGA and LIV. AK will be playing on LIV as a wildcard for the rest of the year...LIV is allowing him time to get his game back over the year...call it a rehabilitation of sorts. The guy didn't even knew what a trackman was and DJ had to explain to him...and still he carded 2 x 76's and a closing 74 not having played any competitive golf in 12 years!! And LIV are giving him time to adjust and not pushing him to the front to do interviews etc. Would the PGA have given him that...? #This is for Guy...regarding your remarks on AK and rather have him playing on a lower level to get back. What about Tiger...when was the last time he was able to even finish a golf tournament but still in 2023 he received $$$ millions in PIP money and certainly with Jay received a huge lump of cash from the SSG deal...shouldn't he go play the Korn Ferry to get his game and ability to walk back....? He is also a Has-Been so why not the same standards for him from you... You are obviously a PGA-loyalist and still anti-LIV...maybe you should rather watch the boring PGA Tour...seems to be more up your alley...just saying #And for Rick...LIV is golf even if it's only over 3 days. What you are dishing up on your channel as golf is something else though...maybe you should really consider taking up running permanently and sell your golf equipment cause it obviously are wasted on you!

Guy is off his rocker

Jimmy would destroy rick " Golf Life " rules !

I think Bully would win. He has been an athlete at an elite level and his mental strength would be the difference.

Back in the clubhouse, feels good!

Good on LIV getting Anthony and we wish him all the best.

Hi guys, listening to podcast, I don’t really watch but I had to comment on Rick and a potential fitting video. Could Guy give Rick a fitting in the hit studio. Give us mortals an insight into a fitting experience and maybe discuss pros and cons, what a ‘good’ fitter would look for in the gc4 data etc. I would watch and it could help kickstart HIT channel again. Guy will win home soil grudge match as well.

Ak was a HUGE hyped guy by PGA players, he was not a darling amongst fans as much as the players all revered him...he was also part of a young group ....immeidate near era was Hunter Mahan, Camillo V and JB Holmes all made their masters debuts...was a load of top talent like recent years...and AK was a "super cool" guy for the crew... IMHO

You definetly don’t want to lose to both guy and jimmy? Wow seriously get over yourself Rick 😅

Hi Chaps I totally agree too much golf this is the reason I have been watching more Liv as you know who will be playing and get more invested in following players and teams. Now enjoying the fantasy league 👍⛳️⛳️

Anthony Kim shot a 5 under par today. I can’t wait to hear your perspective in your next podcast. lol

There's a simple fix: make the PGA Tour and DP World Tour into feeders for LIV. Sorted.

I agree with you guys they need to cut down on the amount of golf being broadcast. Way too many options…First, the PGA Tour, as the self-proclaimed best players on the planet, should be only the elevated events and the majors for a total of around 25 tournaments. The other current tour events that aren’t elevated should be relegated to being elevated Korn Ferry events. Season is 7 months (March-September) starting with the Masters (or a tourney before it), and ending with the Tour Championship. That gets you an elite tournament every other week on average…plenty of golf.

I'm getting a bit fed up with these two tbf. Sorry.

I've love to see Rick v Bullard on a course in proper conditions, ie, not winter greens and then Bullard / Tubes vs Rick and Guy.

I'm still really struggling with LIV,I didn't even know it was on this last weekend and wouldn't know where to watch it, unless it's still.on youtube, which I don't know if it is or not. I keep telling myself I need to find it and watch but I am really finding it hard to either search for it or get it in my head when it actually is being played.

Surprised you hadn't touched on the team victory for the crushers over the weekend, after coming back from 11 strokes behind the stingers they won by 4 strokes and as a team they were -20 under on the day.

Please keep in mind AK didn't know what a trackman was or how to even do a proper drop with the new rules lol

Golf is in its best place in years with a world tour with LIV and the PGA missed the boat golf is more than the PGA

I listened to a guy comment once about American sports having a decline in attendances and TV audiences. And he spoke of the changing landscape of the father in the home. Fathers are committed parents with so much time donated to wives and children. So they can’t donate so much time to watching some many baseball or basketball games. Hence golf. 4 days, 8 hours a day watching. What 28-40 year old man and woman have that time. With family commitments

That’s a lot of cocaine snorted

Bullard is a lot better golfer than Rick. Just watch any of Jimmy's matches and compare it to Ricks "Good golf" and it's pretty obvious who the better golfer is.

Bullard would make it easy work. You need to do stroke play though instead of match play because you will get absolutely smashed in stroke play

You cant spin the vibe as "serious", we saw what we saw. Rick walked around like a petulant child, annoyed that he was losing to Guy, who he obviously views as an inferior golfer. We witnessed a temper tantrum. It wasn't fun to watch. Listen, Micah Morris did the same thing to Grant and was roasted for it and ultimately accepted he was mentally in a bad spot. Again, it comes down to people don't care about the actual score or how you shoot.

Accusing Bullard of talking a lot. RICK do you actually watch your own content back? You and guy are unrivalled for persistent guff chat. Bullard wins easy. Ego out of control. 4 handicap at best.
