bathroom echo 😂

got to remember to turn those mic's on! haha.

I've long thought they should bring in a 3rd permanent host. Sophie or Iona would be amazing!

I played that course at least 5 times , shame it's not there anymore . Rolling Oaks was my favorite of the two .

Agreed... instead (Rick), you should be practicing. Get your "handicap" down to scratch so you'll get invited to PGA Qualifiers!!

Wasn’t H.I.T supposed to be weekly too? There hasn’t been a video uploaded in 5 months

Sorry to say but this podcast just dribbled along, don’t let a second one flounder - totally agree, be happier to see/hear less if the guys diverted their time to practice and getting back to their origins

Whuuut I enjoyed this one. Sophie’s insight is so interesting.

@@jayjay1drum1skate I enjoyed this podcast too. I listen to/watch them all. I'm just getting a bit fed up with the LIV chat every week. It gets repetitive and then the idea of an already repetitive podcast doing another short form podcast on a Friday concerns me for the content of the main weekly one. I think it's fair feedback. I'm not being an asshole about it lol.

Personally, I think more men watch the LPGA than women do. I watch it and my golfing wife doesn't. I prefer the LPGA because their swings are pure and distances more relatable to my game than the freaks on the PGA Tour.

There's just no one on the LPGA who's brought that star power and hype, that charisma to go along with being a top notch player. Also, it's a deep rooted problem in society that has led to this. Too much politics from the sports world has led to people tuning out, too much of athletes and broadcasters attempting to push their agendas and trying to lecture people on how they should think. People want to just get away from all that crap in the world and just watch sports.

Also plain and simple, women's sports just isn't as popular as men's and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's simply a matter of interest. How many women are into fashion, makeup, etc. compared to men? There are endless hobbies and interests that differ between men and women. Sports, with golf in particular, just isn't as appealing to women as it is to men, and again there's nothing wrong with this.

Well said. The USA womens soccer/football team were complaining about not getting paid as much as the men. It turned out the women are actually on a higher pay rate than the men. “It's because the men's World Cup generates $6 billion in revenue, the Women's World Cup generates $131 million in revenue. “If you want to talk about pay disparity, the Women's World Cup players get paid out 20 per cent of the total revenue. “The men get paid out seven per cent. I call for equal pay for men and women. Give the men a pay rise.

Realistically most men don't really care about women's sports. Of course some on KZfaq do. But if you would take an anonymous poll I guarantee that the vast majority just don't care about women's golf or women's sports in general. Just the way it is. But you have to pretend to the biggest supporter online or else you will be labeled as misogynistic, an incel, a virgin, etc. It's a shame because your typical male golfer will have more in common with golfers in the lpga than the PGA. Not in skill set but in distanced and can learn more watching the women play. Unfortunately the vast majority don't want to watch golf for fundamentals. They'd rather watch Bryson bomb a 400 yard driver, or watch scheffler go 8 under on Sunday to win the players because simply, it's a lot more entertaining than the woman product. My wife is an avid golfer and she does not care about the lpga tour in the slightest. I golf regularly with women due to my wife and literally all of them do not watch or care about professional women's golf

That guy is a monster when he putts well

He is saving the putts for Augusta

@@danieljohansson7299 You mean to say, he hopes to win less money at Augusta (winner gets $3.25 million) than the Players (Scottie won $4.5 million)?

@@3nCounting less money, but it’s a Major and a Green Jacket. Do think most players would take a win at the Masters over Players, you still get allt of money. But also in this case, the Masters is Ludvigs goal this year

What do you do with the players that stayed? Can't NOT give them some type of cash out. I like this idea and would make winter golf tolerable, but I am curious how the overcome the money part (other than just give everyone a stack of cash because they can)

@@ben2942 Tough question. Not sure how they would navigate. If you give them some cash it somewhat evens out the whole LIV departure thing (to an extent). However one could argue that if they did not leave this might not have happened, so it is a tricky subject. I think that anyone on the tour who was offered a contract with LIV and turned it down (assuming they merge) would be compensated. Then when those things are sorted and feelings are dealt with, you move forward with the new tour.

Completely agree. Plus, brands who want to get into the game like Malbon or Takomo Golf can have a buy in for a team and slowly they can expand. Really cool idea for winter golf.

It’s definitely said Co-Host in the past.

How are Liv tournaments going? Getting more than 10,000 viewers watching at one time on KZfaq?

@@joshramirez7 try just watching golf, there is room for both

Tiger sure didn't and he was the best for over a decade and is considered by many the best to ever play. It's skill, not heavenly intervention.

Because they chose to leave? They weren't forced out. Plus, they wouldn't play Sunday, too many holes.

Foolish dribble from a LIV shill. The Players Championship this year was stacked with talent and tremendously entertaining. Five of the top seven finishers at The Players have each won one of the last nine majors played. Six of the last nine major winners were in the field. Add Shane Lowry, Morikawa & Woodland and you have nine major winners in the last five years. Only six major winners from the last five years currently play for LIV ... Mickelson, who is hardly playing world class golf now, is one of those six. TPC Sawgrass has some of the best finishing holes (16, 17 & 18) I can think of. And, overall, the fans seemed pretty well behaved. I'm not a big fan of the 16th at Phoenix either. It reminds me of a LIV event. I don't blame the likes of Rahm, Koepka, DJ, Cam Smith & Niemann for chasing the PIF money. But, those decisions by those players have fractured golf and watered down the fields everywhere.

@@patce999 Hey - Phil tied for 2nd in the last Masters. That is world class. Like I said - present LIV players have won 3 of the last 5 Majors. If the PGA players are playing more for tradition than money - why is the PGAT bothering to increase prizes at PGAT events? And why is PGAT not staying as a not for profit Charity Organization? I think we can all agree - we at least don’t want to see drunken PGA fans pissing themselves at a PGAT event on television. I am just glad Jon Rahm didn’t have to see and play in that embarrassment/disgrace of the PGAT. I think that can be fixed via the LIV talks with PGAT players interests input. That has never happened at a LIV event - so your prejudice is pretty obvious. I am a fan of all golf tours including ones like the Canadian tour. I would love to see the PGA (Professional Golf Association of America) fields restricted only to American Golfers. Why wouldn’t a Professional Golf of America not be just for promoting American Golfers? They are good enough.😀 There are plenty in the USA? Do you support taking away opportunities from American Golfers at PGA events and making the PGAT a profit seeking money grabbing tour now?😀 All pro golfers play for money, otherwise they remain as amateurs. Let the elite golfers like John Rahm, Phil, Cam Smith and perhaps - Rory looks like he might join LIV/International Tours to play against the best. Rory says he wants to (he advocates a LIV merger right away) & there is no point in Rory playing against weaker PGA (only) competitors and only to be cut at the Masters, as what happened to him last year with his phoney #1 world ranking. Funny & interesting! Rory played well in Europe last fall - when he was back amongst the great International players again. Rory certainly doesn’t deserve the abuse - of being a sacrificial lamb of PGA Executives that expense pro golf tours for personal gains. The best thing for golf is if Rory takes a $600 Million package with LIV right away.😀

Ratings would blow

A men's/women's ryder cup feel would be amazing for the sport. We all know Nelly/Lexi, but this would add something for those that are playing crazy good golf but not a household name.

I actually felt the opposite. For me, this was so exciting that I didn't even think of any of them.

Is that you Guy ?

I assume this was American coverage? UK coverage was superb.

While I could see it working a little. 75% viewers are men. This may get a small percentage of men watching LPGA. How do you get the women demo to watch women's sports? That's the real question.

Dude... they're in an untreated room with hard surfaces and glass. They're at a golf course clubhouse and not in a sound-proofed and treated studio.

Most younger women are raising kids or getting flown out and ran through

That was their decision

@@jerryky2580 did I say anything about why they were not playing?? I'm not discussing who decided to leave and the consequences… the after-fact is: that not all the best players in the world were in the competition. Period. Any PGA or LIV fanboy (both pathetic in my humble opinion) can admit that neither the PGA nor the LIV have all the best players in the world competing against each other (not even in the majors). That’s it.
