Riggs, you get a lot of crap with how your tee shots suck, but you are a great human for taking care of Allister! It is also sneaky good for not talking yourself up when you did it. Just being happy for the kid is great!
What deal will be made...? There's no deal to be made. PGA golfers just want more money because they realize they won't get LIV-type money from SSG deal. Maybe it's time people start thinking like adults and see things as they are and not what they wish it to be. Tours should stay separate and it's up to each tour to make its tour better to retain or attract golfers to it. Maybe get PIF to take over the European Tour and attempt to make it as good as it was back in the 80's and 90's...independent from the PGA! - LIV golfers have contracts. They can't just up and leave. If Golfer A got $100 mil for a 5-year contract and has only played 1 year, will he really pay back $80 mil to go play on the PGA tour? - The tours have different formats and LIV has a team element. - PGA made its bed when they accepted the SSG deal. How can anybody even expect Yasir to invest his "blood money" (what they called the PIF money) into PGA when LIV Golf is treated as it is? You can't have your bread buttered on both sides...PGA golfers made the decision to stay on PGA and now they should live with the consequences (and less money) or try to get a contract with LIV...easy as pie. - PGA has realized that their product is weaker without the top golfers that went to LIV. PGA has fewer viewers now. PGA won't be able to negotiate the same type of deals with advertisers, sponsors, and TV bosses now with those golfers not on their tour anymore. So they should also maybe start to accept that their role has diminished and beggars can't be choosers. The PGA needs LIV golfers....LIV doesn't need the PGA, LIV golfers just want to play in Majors. - LIV golfers can't just go and play on PGA events and the same goes for PGA golfers. The only thing in my mind that can happen is if the PGA and LIV negotiate events to be added in which the golfers from different tours can compete against each other. LIV golfers will not sign up to go play 30 to 40 weeks in a year again...just saying How: The Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup rotate. So I would suggest scrapping the Presidents Cup but not the team. Then you are left with the USA team, the European team, and the Presidents Cup team. Add a LIV team and the 4 teams can play against each other in a Ryder Cup-type tournament in a Round Robin at the end of the year to determine the winner. That would get enough viewers and push ratings. Maybe Yasir can be convinced to put up the money for such a tournament. - And lastly, the Majors should look at their criteria for invites. If the Majors can at least appear to be independent from PGA as they are supposed to be, and they invite the top 20/25 LIV golfers (excluding those with Major exemptions), the LIV fans might start supporting the majors again and this hate between the tours can start subsiding. The different tours should also have their own ranking system just like the PGA has the OWGR...and the Majors can use the tour's ranking to decide who they invite.
You guys skipped over 2022 when Tiger played masters, pga champ, and the open at St. Andrews. Remember the pause on the Swilcan bridge? Can we just get Tiger some stem cells or something? That’s still a thing right?
Riggs with just an absolutely great human move. Good shit mate
😢😢😮😮😢😮😢😮😮 😮😮 😮 😅😮s😮😅
People give Riggs a lot of shit about his golf game but the dude is a good person 👏🏻
Riggs gains some fans today for sure such a genuine reaction to Alistairs finish
The best podcast due to the story of Alistair and Riggs….god I love this
Riggs is one of the most humble guys. He personally staked Alisadair, believes in him and won’t mention the whole story.
I’ll be volunteering at the RBC Open this year - and will be cheering Alastair 🇨🇦. Riggs - you’re a good guy.
Riggs, you get a lot of crap with how your tee shots suck, but you are a great human for taking care of Allister! It is also sneaky good for not talking yourself up when you did it. Just being happy for the kid is great!
Riggs bro you are incredible for doing that for someone. I love this fucking pod
Ok ok ok …. No more Riggs bashing on here! Dude is special, to write a 50k to someone to pursue their dream…. Wow! Riggs you are one hell of guy!
Shout out Alistair. Been a long time since Chico State and still sounds like a great guy
Having Danny Rap so plugged in on the majors is such an upgrade for the pod.
Riggs! I’ll be volunteering at the Canadian Open! Happy you’re going to come witness the insanity!
Riggs you're the man
Solid backing up your guy Riggs. Way to show all your haters
Leaving Brooks out of the “collision course” is crazy. It’s Scottie Rory brooks
you misspelled xander, collin, and sahith
Riggs with an all time move
What a class act by Riggs holy shit
Trent is just a funny guy. His points make me laugh everytime
Great show guys! Dans starting to grow on me. Awesome stuff
Scottie's child was born last week...watched a interview done with him after a practice round earlier
Great stuff Riggs!

Well said sir
If you hate on Riggs, you really need to look at yourself in the mirror and find out where you went wrong in this life. Good stuff, guys!

Rory filed for divorce yesterday? Maybe that's why he's playing better? Lol
