What a fantastic interview! Such a lovely and genuine person. Thoroughly enjoyed it! A true legend of the game. The only issue I have is that you have raised the bar with the level of guest! Where do you go from here? Maybe a whole series of GOAT specials?
Growing up I only knew 2 names in women’s golf and it was her and Michelle Wei and it’s crazy how much she accomplished. Definitely great so have her name resurface and expose her to more/new people. Great work Rick and Guy.
What an inspirational person. From every aspect. Love that she does it now with and because of her family. Maybe we should look closer to home for inspiration rather than looking at guys and girls in the fantasy leagues. Great interview Rick.
Amazing interview. Annika is a legend here in Sweden and it was her and maybe Jesper Parnevik i looked up to as a child. Growing up and getting into the game of golf ive realised how big impact she has had on the golf scene. GOAT.
Rick you couldn't have timed this video better. My daughter just got her first set of clubs this week and is starting to have a passion for the game. I can't wait to explain who this amazing women is and watch it with her again tonight.
The next major thing I want to check off my bucket list is a visit to Annika's Academy in Orlando. I'd had it all planned out once but a close relative got sick and I had to give up the idea for years. But hopefully, once Covid finishes ravaging our poorly governed state if any of us are left alive I'll get to try again next year or the year after. My dad's parents came from Sweden and our entire family has rooted for her forever.
Great that you're promoting women's golf Rick. I enjoy playing golf with my wife and also others in the flight - it also calms down bad behaviours and language from certain men. Annika is something else, always liked her on the course. Great personality.
Just watched this Annika interview and we’ll done Rick! The message from this interview must inspire young boys and girls from a women who is and was the Tiger Woods of the women’s game. I have fond memories of watching Annika on TV in the 90’s her and her battles with Karrie Webb. Everything Annika is doing in her life now is to help and inspire children and is for the best. So Rick what big name can you get on the podcast next?? Tiger? Rory? Bryson? Sei Young Kim? Nelly Korda? Jin Young Ko? Surely Rick you can get phone numbers to golfers agents and ask surely any pro golfer can give you 30 minutes of their time to chat to you for us, the golfer could be eating their lunch and you interview them at the same time we your viewers wouldn’t mind!
True legend. Arguably a top 5 golfer all time womens or men’s. Pound for pound, so to speak, she is in the top tier of wins and majors of any golfer. Always have enjoyed her tremendously.
Helluva interview! Tiger and Annika were my golf heros back when i was a few years into learning the game. So thats one ledgend down, whens the Tiger interview gonna happen...?
She is the best. I can't think of a single athlete that has a better perspective on what really matters in life. And BTW, is the greatest of all time in her field.
I remember Ewen Murray referring to her as 'A little cracker' on live TV, probably back in the late 90s but I aren't sure. He got into trouble which was a bit sad really.
After the pseudo-feminist agenda, the real, great part of the video starts at 11:55. What a legendary golfer! I knew nest to nothing about her. Thank you!
Annika was the one I tried to plagiarize when I started golfing, her swing was so simple they felt like, so straightforward. I think she was a great inspiration for both men and women. Annika and Stensson's Scandinavian mixed can be one of the funniest competitions I have seen.
I know a lot of comparisons with tiger as they are around same time but we could have only hoped he would have been as good of a person as Annika seems to be
Rick’s mic cable is freaking me out. It should be clipped to the bottom of the stand and have some slack, not being pulled hard where the XLR comes out of the mic.
She has roughly 100 tournament wins, if each one of those payed and average of lets say 600,000... that's 60 million in prize money. Now imagine she was making tiger money for each tournament win. No personal sponsorships included. Just finished listening, this was fantastic. Just need to get the golden bear and tiger on now 😛
Nothing but respect and admiration for her, but the reason she isnt making Tiger money is because she gets 1/100th audience. This is the same story as the US women’s soccer team. Pay/salary is a function of revenue generated, not a function of skill. It’s also the reason successful sales people are often paid more than the engineers that create the products.
@@jdstarek oh fuck off man I was just making a point that if she got tiger money per win she'd be outrageously rich. Noone said anything about audience or why she doesn't get paid as much. But there always has to be one bloke who brings it up. Cheers for the insight captain obvious
decent interview, enjoyed the discussion when on topic (golf) just lets not get too heavy on gender equality and pay etc. it doesnt mix with sport and tv money. the best and most popular command the highest pay. if one tries to force pay equality in sport it will be at the expense of someone else. women are getting more of a following and they should, they are playing at a very high level but they should get paid the same when they earn the same for their tours and sponsors. Promoting golf and elevating girls and women is great, just be careful of blanket statements about equality in these situations. How about pay equality for all podcast hosts? regardless of number of subscribers, views and ad money, certain podcasters pay is adjusted because of the group they belong to?
Well Rick...you have people on your channel promoting equity, redesigning the world with women in mind, and equal pay with less production. Im not subscribing to that narrative, especially when the facts dont match. Do your research. Lost a subscriber.
For me one of the best episodes. Great interview, Annika is such a class act, an inspiration for so many.
What a fantastic interview! Such a lovely and genuine person. Thoroughly enjoyed it! A true legend of the game. The only issue I have is that you have raised the bar with the level of guest! Where do you go from here? Maybe a whole series of GOAT specials?
Oh wow, how good is she! So humble and real! Thanks Rick!
Growing up I only knew 2 names in women’s golf and it was her and Michelle Wei and it’s crazy how much she accomplished. Definitely great so have her name resurface and expose her to more/new people. Great work Rick and Guy.
Wow. An interview with Annika Sorenstam!. What an honour. She's a total legend.
What an inspirational person. From every aspect. Love that she does it now with and because of her family. Maybe we should look closer to home for inspiration rather than looking at guys and girls in the fantasy leagues. Great interview Rick.
Terrific. One of the best podcasts yet. Nice job on this one Rick.
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Great job, Rick.
She is amazing! 👏
Awesome! I am a new subscriber - and absolutely loved your interview with Annika. Thanks so much for the content and sharing!
Amazing interview. Annika is a legend here in Sweden and it was her and maybe Jesper Parnevik i looked up to as a child. Growing up and getting into the game of golf ive realised how big impact she has had on the golf scene. GOAT.
Wow ... what an inspiration for all. Not only for golfers but humans alike. Great interview Rick 👍
Rick you couldn't have timed this video better. My daughter just got her first set of clubs this week and is starting to have a passion for the game. I can't wait to explain who this amazing women is and watch it with her again tonight.

Loving the 2 a week podcasts
Superb, Annika is a real delight.
Love these types of episodes and insights 👌
Excellent interview. Great lady on and off the golf course.
You did a great job Rick.
What a legend! Du är en inspiration för oss alla 😄
Absolute legend! She’s definitely the GOAT in women’s golf. Not even a question in my mind
True legend. Arguably a top 5 golfer all time womens or men’s. Pound for pound, so to speak, she is in the top tier of wins and majors of any golfer. Always have enjoyed her tremendously.
What a neat lady! Thanks of sharing this Rick!
Helluva interview! Tiger and Annika were my golf heros back when i was a few years into learning the game. So thats one ledgend down, whens the Tiger interview gonna happen...?
Great video
She’s is an amazing ambassador for the game
Really interesting. How could anyone thumb this down?????
Love it!

RICK YOU HAVE MADE THE GREATEST SPORTING PODCAST IN THE WORLD 😊😆😊😊😆 WHAT A SERIES
Very nice podcast rick
Absolutel class
She is the best. I can't think of a single athlete that has a better perspective on what really matters in life. And BTW, is the greatest of all time in her field.
Listen to the AUDIO version here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-rick-shiels-golf-show/id1406443091#episodeGuid=61267dffc16cbe0015bf8d03
An amazing and very humble woman
Very cool Rick
Inspirational👍
Rick is a certified legend
I remember Ewen Murray referring to her as 'A little cracker' on live TV, probably back in the late 90s but I aren't sure.
He got into trouble which was a bit sad really.

agree
on spotify they have the 15 second advance button which is great for skipping the woke agenda
@@MM-rr1kp Well put
The stats for her are insane...She made 97% of cuts on LPGA tour. 298 out of 307...thats better than even tiger.
What a goat in female golf!✊
How good is Annika, I loved her insight of a game with in a game. And practising each game.
Annika was the one I tried to plagiarize when I started golfing, her swing was so simple they felt like, so straightforward. I think she was a great inspiration for both men and women. Annika and Stensson's Scandinavian mixed can be one of the funniest competitions I have seen.
She was an absolute machine. I kept waiting to see if she could even make a bad swing - never happened.
Awesome sauce
Thursday bonus treat
Great interview, Rick. Can you do a little clinic with her, please?
"Subscribed to both"
Is Tiger next? Best guest yet!
Annika is a Star
I know a lot of comparisons with tiger as they are around same time but we could have only hoped he would have been as good of a person as Annika seems to be
Amazing
Proud to be Swedish. :-)
Rick’s mic cable is freaking me out. It should be clipped to the bottom of the stand and have some slack, not being pulled hard where the XLR comes out of the mic.
GOAT!!
Did Sorenstam shame golf by taking a medal from Trump just after their Capital insurrection?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
But she received (and wanted) a medal from Trump on January the 7th, crazy... And I'm a Swede...
yep. youre a swede
thats why you dont get it.
I wonder if Anika had a rival on tour, a nemesis that always pushed or tested her.
Karrie Webb probably was the 2nd best player of the same generation... But she's a hall of famer too!
Tedious, had to switch off
She has roughly 100 tournament wins, if each one of those payed and average of lets say 600,000... that's 60 million in prize money. Now imagine she was making tiger money for each tournament win. No personal sponsorships included. Just finished listening, this was fantastic. Just need to get the golden bear and tiger on now 😛

Success never went to her head. She would have every right to have a huge ego but she doesn't.
Leg end
Carie webb
They walked into the room and went wow mom's career must really be over she's talking to Rick Shiels on RUclips😄
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Is she confused between equality and equity? Because equity is the farthest thing from competitive sports.
decent interview, enjoyed the discussion when on topic (golf)
just lets not get too heavy on gender equality and pay etc. it doesnt mix with sport and tv money. the best and most popular command the highest pay. if one tries to force pay equality in sport it will be at the expense of someone else.

Rick letting himself down with the company he’s been keeping of late, first JCB and now Annika 😒
JCB?
@@goth_ross yes JCB
