Tigers "prank" was a childish joke between two friends, nothing less and nothing more. It's been completely overblown and just like everything now, people feel the need to be offended for the sake of being offended.
Agreed, completely blown out of proportion. Of course, the paparazzi has to catch him in the act. If he had given JT a short tee implying something else, what would have been said?
Agreed. The people getting offended have said or have done something equal if not more when with their friends for a laugh at one of their friends expense. That's what friendship and kidding around are.
Would be epic to see a massive golfbidder special with Rick, Peter Finch, Andy Carter and Matt Fryer. It'd be difficult with Andy out in Dubai currently but down the line maybe. That last series with the 4 of them was SUPERB!!
Absolutely ....men can be men anymore. And for goodness sake get these women commentators off the air. Let them broadcast the ladies tour....it's just a better fit and I like their perspective on their sport.
Yep. My mom was a Team Leader in a factory. Her crew was being whiny for a whole month (forgot what it was about). She put tampons and binkys in all of their work mail boxes and told them to stop their whining they all had a laugh and stopped their whining. I understand it depends on the person who gets offended, but Sticks and Stones needs to be brought back to this society.
It's not a majority or even a minority that is offended. It is an very very very small minority of extremely loud people that are offended. The overwhelming majority of us understand it was a joke and harmless one at that. The large majority of us thought it was funny. Don't assume it's a big group of people, it is just the loudest people that we keep hearing from.
I'm literally buzzing, you and Pete are doing the GolfBidder challenge again!!! Loved those videos and you and Pete are really good on camera together.
Does anyone remember Annika handing Fred Funk a skirt when she out drove him. No, because it was a joke, everyone including Fred laughed...now Tiger pulls a prank on a mate and one of the news channels blows it all out of proportion
This is the most coverage golf has gotten since Tiger won the Masters… We, golf, needs more jokes and banter to keep it interesting for the general public.
Agreed. This world has gone to pieces. Just a matter of fact professional men hit it further than woman. It’s factual correct and a funny joke. The woke society is becoming pathetic. Even Henni on sky said it was funny
Yes, the videos the pros are doing with RUclipsrs really has done a great job of humanizing the player. Fowler is a perfect example. I never cared for him but getting to hear him and see him interact with you was great for his image in my opinion. Certainly makes me pull for him now when I see him playing.
The whole Tiger and JT joke thing had been completely blown out of all proportion. It was banter and a joke between two friends. It's not PC, but in my opinion, most ordinary people are not anyway. Tiger apologised, which is more than I would have done. Even my wife thought it was funny. The world we live in now is crazy.
Good podcast again. On the Tiger thing. I love Tiger so I will start with that. I had zero issue and was in absolutely no way offended by his prank. Do I think he should have done it on national tv no but me personally zero issue. My normal foursome have said some crazy stuff on the course regarding someone’s masculinity so I would be a fake if I said it did bother me. Now I can’t speak for how a woman would feel about this. Impossible to do so I won’t even try. The one thing that bothers me the most and Guy kinda said something about it was that there was intent to offend women in his prank. I guarantee and I have never met Tiger but I guarantee there was zero of that in his intent. I saw men and women posting on Twitter that they are concerned about Tiger Woods being violent towards women because of this. That goes way too far. Be offended but come on don’t jump to that extreme.
I am a a golfer….I am a woman. I play mostly will my guy friends and we do these things all the time!!!! It was a joke ! No need to be oversensitive.. love tiger and i think it was funny.
Rick or Guy... Take a look at WWF and WCW back in the golden era of wrestling (late 90's early 2000's). WCW was throwing huge money at big names and it had its moments but it eventually fell apart due to it desperately trying to be a different product. Although it had all the funding it had really poor leadership and was eventually purchased by the WWF (now WWE) for pennies on the dollar. LIV is WCW. Paying huge money for athletes at the end of their career or ones not loyal to the gold standard of their sport. If I was betting man it will follow the exact same narrative. SHOCKED no other golf channels have made this comparison. You guys can be the first 😉
As far as Full Swing, my wife only acknowledges the Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy because those are the guys I watch in depth. But she is a big Tony Finau fan after his story she also likes Theegala after watching it. She just loved seeing the stories like you 2 mentioned. It would be great to see a season 2 for the PGA Tour.
Full Swing - Hard Knocks, Drive to Survive, Break Point ... did any of those shows bring in "new" viewers and fans, or did they just serve up more content to people who already enjoy that particular sport? I LOVE playing golf (active participation), like watching golf on tv (passive old school media), HATE twitter and instagram (sitting on the toilet new school media), and watched the series in one sitting (weekend binge streaming media) ... and enjoy listening to the RS podcast while driving in the car! Unless I start eating golfball shaped pasta, not sure how I could get more golf entertainment into my life!
Love it... I have 4 sets of Mizuno irons starting back to the MP14 series... too bad they will only be available at my estate sale... I'd probably (No, not really) part with my Nike blades, but they are probably a bit difficult to hit for a 20 handicap. I just switched to the titleist blades... took hitting them to pry the Mizuno's out of my hands...
It's not about whether or not you are offended by the action, you rightly state that you aren't the victim of this. But it's hugely dissappointing that THE biggest name in the sport, thought it was okay to actually plan a prank that mocked the driving performance of JT because he deemed it reminiscent of a female. If he outdrives his daugther, or a female player would he do the same? For generations, menstrual cycles have been a source of shame and discrimination for women, especially in sport, and to think this would go unnoticed during a PGA event is extremely naive, and says a lot about his respect for women.. although we already had clues around that..
The Golfbidder challenge coming back is the best news I've heard in a long long time. It was those videos that introduced me to you and Pete through lockdown and they thoroughly entertained me through some very difficult times. I have been a massive fan of you both ever since and can't wait for it. Loving the show and keep u the good work 😁😁😁
I think the Tiger joke is and should just be taken for exactly what it was, it was a joke, and it was funny. It shows that these guys are human, and can interact with each other and have some fun. Anyone looking to make more of it than that needs to lighten up. People today are spending way to much time looking for issues to be offended by.
Cant wait for you and Pete to be back together that's always been your best content in my opinion. Or even one of the other lads we all miss this I recon
I just got back into golf June 2022. I was a junior golfer for a summer when I was twelve and golfed on and off with my father until I was twenty-six but never really got into following golf on TV. Since June 2022 I’ve been an avid golfer and started to watch on TV. The problem with the PGA is they have lots of golf on TV but not all the prime players are entering every tournament so for me, I never built up an invested interest in the players. I watched a few LIV Golf tournaments early in the year 2022 and by the second tournament I was already familiar with the players and teams. So, I looked forward to the next tournament to see how the teams and players would place and it kept building from there. Their format, for me, is far better than PGA and I look forward to 2023.
Well done gents you had me laugh out loud today watching the podcast. Have also watched Full Swing series, loved it. i think some players came off a lot better than others.
I watched Liv golf thru its whole first season last year and PGA🤔None. Rick stated that Liv needs big names to interest him. Regardless of what you think Liv has far more bigger names than the PGA tour. Even though the names are from the past they were at one time who the general public supported and cheered on. PGA maybe has 7-10 big names who bring in viewers when they play. Liv players carry far more success in total wins when they were on the PGA tour in their prime. Just because players like Lee Westwood..Grame McDowell..Ian Poulter and so on, those were huge names in the pastime of PGA. As far as the Tiger/JT prank…one word Hilarious 😂 and Guy and You may need one yourselves 🔌a plug. Thanks for the videos ✌️
If I'm a pga player I would definitely be getting on channels like Rick, BDS and good good to show that personality. I think it goes a longer way than anything else
Tiger’s “prank” was funny! At his age, he should be passing these out to every guy under 40 that he outdrives. It’s exactly what makes the game fun and people want to see the real players, not the facade. That’s who Tiger is, and us weekend warriors love to see it! You can be sure this prank will be copied by many weekend warriors this year. I’ve heard many in-kind comments when someone fails to get a putt to the hole. It may not have been Tiger’s goal to boost his brand, but for most weekend warriors, that’s exactly what he did.
@@RickShielsGolfShow 10 - 15 years ago this wouldn't have even been an issue. It's just how society is offended by everything now, it wasn't an issue just a joke between mates.
I am female and in my sixties so I grew up in a different era. I'm short and I've worked with men and I love the banter. I'm more offended by the spitting than a joke between friends which wasn't supposed to be seen.
Full swing - has definitely helped non-golf fans understand the game and connect to the game. My daughter plays golf but not really a pro-golf follower but she was absolutely engaged and rooting for the players to win the tournaments on screen (I had to hold my tongue to not give away whether Matt Fitzpatrick opening the US Open).
@-RickShielsGolfShow thanks for the message- love the podcast and my daughter has a RUclips golf channel - @LearnGolfWithCassie - your channel is one we love watching
As a Scot it's so weird hearing people planning a trip here as a once in a lifetime experience! St Andrews is about a 15 minute drive from where I sit right now and at my work we deal with a lot of people coming here for a big holiday/weekend away/visit to the holy grail of the Old Course. I think we maybe just take it for granted that its right there on our doorstep!
For the lad planning to visit us in Scotland in March. Can you hold off until May as we're due to get lots of snow. 😭 Courses I would pick are Dundonald in the West, Ladybank in the East and Royal Dornoch in the Highlands, Boom
Haha, the LIV golf add came on as one of in video adds while watching your podcast. I usually click on skip add as soon as possible for in video adds but I watched it thru to end because you mentioned it. Team aspect doesn’t do it for me and ad didn’t change my mind. Keep up good work Rick and Guy!!!
Iam really hyped for the golfbidder challenge. But since you said it will be the last 500£ golfbidder challenge, maybe do the £555 or £600 Challenge? With inflation we would have a chance to see some other clubs which would be hype. But its really fun to theory-craft some sets on golfbidder. I ended up with: Cobra King f9 Tm R15 Hybrid Mizuno Mp-15 Odyssey White Steel#3 2 random wedges 494.94£
Glad I'm not the only one who did a hypothetical £500 bag... This was mine today: Driver - Yonex Type X GT 9° Fairway - Nike VR Pro Tour 15° Irons - Nike Pro Forged Combo 3-PW 21°-47° Wedges - Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 Tour 52° 58° Putter - Cleveland Iso Frontline £491.88 A couple of alternative brands at the top and bottom of the bag to get some modern technology where I believe it helps most.
Tigers joke was bloke humour and done in such a way it was meant to be private. Had it been put in the bag, it would have stayed that way. I can see some would be offended but between them it was funny. Love the golfbidder challenge should do it with Andy and Matt too it would be a funny watch.
my mum started watching golf over the weekend after FullSwing she found some GOlfers she liked and could actually root for while watching, Liv commericial CHEESY BUT, i like having sport team names maybe workshop some, but easy to remember and easier for people to fan for. plus who doesnt love the Ryder Cup
@rickshiels just curious as to why you made a point to mention Rory still using the Stealth plus but haven't mentioned Tiger still using it as well and not switching to the stealth 2.
I love my old-ish Callaway X-Forged for the reasons Adam described. Maybe not forgiving enough? Also would mention spend money on grips and grip fitting.
Rick, can you gift us a video of your club collection. Over the years, im sure you've got one of the best collections. You could do a club museum at this point.
Rick! My dad actually helped design the simulators at Urban Golf!! He worked for the company aboutGolf who designed and installed the sims there. Crazy how an Ohio company can end up all over.
Awesome podcast as usual, I really enjoy every one. So excited to hear the Golf Bidder challenge is back. missed those and wondered if it would return, would love to see a other get involved in this challengealso.

This.
It’s a joke! Laugh at it or don’t.
Golf needs more joking.
Lighten up …..
Giving it airtime doesn’t help either…
Agreed. The people getting offended have said or have done something equal if not more when with their friends for a laugh at one of their friends expense. That's what friendship and kidding around are.
Glad the golf bidder challenge is back. Love it when you and Pete get together, great watch!
Us too!
Would be epic to see a massive golfbidder special with Rick, Peter Finch, Andy Carter and Matt Fryer. It'd be difficult with Andy out in Dubai currently but down the line maybe. That last series with the 4 of them was SUPERB!!
Rick Shiels vs Peter Finch is how I started watching golf RUclips. Literally the most fun I have seen on RUclips to that point. So excited.
The response to Tiger and his prank just shows how bad our society is. It pretty much sums it up on how soft and pathetic people are nowadays.
Absolutely ....men can be men anymore. And for goodness sake get these women commentators off the air. Let them broadcast the ladies tour....it's just a better fit and I like their perspective on their sport.

@@sl1ck557 It's funny because I'd have more respect for your mother after that too

After hearing you guys talk about the Tiger prank, I’m mailing you each a tampon.
Right? Actually pathetic.
You should! They must be scared to get canceled. I imagine you would hear the same take on the view
A fresh one thanks!
Lmao. Comment of the year!
🤣😂🤣😂
I love how we always want our celebrities to be authentic until they actual like the rest of us then we slam them for it.
exactly. Well said.
Right...Why do they have to be under a microscope? They are 2 friends playing a game and having fun.
Bingo was his name O
PREACH!!!!!!
Could of said it better , if it was my mate he would of been bought a big pink dress and a dildo
I actually respect Tiger more now that I know he’s got a very relatable sense of humour. The Goat 🐐
Great podcast again lads , Tigers prank on JT was harmless banter !! Worlds gone crazy. Keep up the good work 🏌🏼♂️
The prank is completely blown out of proportion. It was a moment between 2 friends.
I'm literally buzzing, you and Pete are doing the GolfBidder challenge again!!! Loved those videos and you and Pete are really good on camera together.
Great to hear that the Golfbidder challenge is coming back.
Guy was on fire with the puns and jokes this episode lol 😂
Tiger's joke was nothing other than hilarious. God forbid people actually have fun while golfing with their friends.
Indeed. The only thing I was mad about is that I didn't think of it first.
Does anyone remember Annika handing Fred Funk a skirt when she out drove him. No, because it was a joke, everyone including Fred laughed...now Tiger pulls a prank on a mate and one of the news channels blows it all out of proportion
And tiger tells him his putt is "two balls out" lol
This is the most coverage golf has gotten since Tiger won the Masters… We, golf, needs more jokes and banter to keep it interesting for the general public.
"Hypothenating" - that's a new one Rick! 🤣 great show guys, keep it up!
‘Iconic as rick having his sausage roll after the 9th’ made me chuckle 😅
It was refreshing seeing the guys laugh and play a joke on each other. Loosen up y’all, golf is for everyone.
If anyone is actually offended by what Tiger did, you deserve a 9 iron to the shins
Ouch! that would be painful!
Wasn’t offended, just thought it was very ill judged. Surely he should have realised it would have got noticed.
Agreed. This world has gone to pieces. Just a matter of fact professional men hit it further than woman. It’s factual correct and a funny joke. The woke society is becoming pathetic. Even Henni on sky said it was funny
PGA needs more of this banter. Just when you think you can’t be a big enough fan of Tiger BAM! he comes out with this ❤️.
Only some women and the usual suspects. It was a joke between 2 men, nothing more nothing less.
“Hypothenating”….😂😂😂 Rick creating his own language now….😂
Yes, the MP20 HMB! I bought mine new when they came out a few years ago. Can’t see me changing anytime soon. They are class
Yes, the videos the pros are doing with RUclipsrs really has done a great job of humanizing the player. Fowler is a perfect example. I never cared for him but getting to hear him and see him interact with you was great for his image in my opinion. Certainly makes me pull for him now when I see him playing.
Bingo - same for me

You knew that was coming after the Finch video (which was just promo)
I see a new Rick Shiels Travel channel coming soon to RUclips!! 😂 Setting up golf trips for travelers around the world.
Ask Iona for a reaction to the Tiger prank, there’s an opinion that matters more than the blokes in this feed
your gender doesnt make your opinion matter any more or less.

I just got back into golf June 2022. I was a junior golfer for a summer when I was twelve and golfed on and off with my father until I was twenty-six but never really got into following golf on TV.

Genuinely still think the £500 golfbidder challenge are the best golfing videos on RUclips. 2 close mates having a laugh is the cherry on top.
Well done gents you had me laugh out loud today watching the podcast. Have also watched Full Swing series, loved it. i think some players came off a lot better than others.
The fact that we’re even talking about the prank is what’s wrong with this world.
I watched Liv golf thru its whole first season last year and PGA🤔None. Rick stated that Liv needs big names to interest him. Regardless of what you think Liv has far more bigger names than the PGA tour. Even though the names are from the past they were at one time who the general public supported and cheered on.

I usually click on skip add as soon as possible for in video adds but I watched it thru to end because you mentioned it. Team aspect doesn’t do it for me and ad didn’t change my mind. Keep up good work Rick and Guy!!!
Iam really hyped for the golfbidder challenge. But since you said it will be the last 500£ golfbidder challenge, maybe do the £555 or £600 Challenge?
With inflation we would have a chance to see some other clubs which would be hype.
But its really fun to theory-craft some sets on golfbidder.
I ended up with:
Cobra King f9
Tm R15 Hybrid
Mizuno Mp-15
Odyssey White Steel#3
2 random wedges
494.94£
Glad I'm not the only one who did a hypothetical £500 bag... This was mine today:
Driver - Yonex Type X GT 9°
Fairway - Nike VR Pro Tour 15°
Irons - Nike Pro Forged Combo 3-PW 21°-47°
Wedges - Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 Tour 52° 58°
Putter - Cleveland Iso Frontline
£491.88
A couple of alternative brands at the top and bottom of the bag to get some modern technology where I believe it helps most.
@@sxrxg nice, but no way I would be able to hit a 9° driver. But StackedGolf had me wondering about a yonex driver too :P
Tigers joke was bloke humour and done in such a way it was meant to be private. Had it been put in the bag, it would have stayed that way. I can see some would be offended but between them it was funny.
Love the golfbidder challenge should do it with Andy and Matt too it would be a funny watch.
my mum started watching golf over the weekend after FullSwing she found some GOlfers she liked and could actually root for while watching, Liv commericial CHEESY BUT, i like having sport team names maybe workshop some, but easy to remember and easier for people to fan for. plus who doesnt love the Ryder Cup
For the golf bidder challenge (can't wait for that again!) You should buy each others set to play with but you must spend the full £500
@rickshiels just curious as to why you made a point to mention Rory still using the Stealth plus but haven't mentioned Tiger still using it as well and not switching to the stealth 2.
Genesis was my first ever golf tournament - was epic to say the least! was up close and personal with Tiger!
Very well put by Guy
Anyone who was offended by what Tiger did should use iron covers.
LOL 😆
We need to see a £500 golfbidder challenge with Rick vs Pete vs Carter vs Matt. Or do a 2v2 match and you choose the clubs together as a team
I love my old-ish Callaway X-Forged for the reasons Adam described. Maybe not forgiving enough? Also would mention spend money on grips and grip fitting.
Love it when you hypothenate Rick :D
Rick, can you gift us a video of your club collection. Over the years, im sure you've got one of the best collections. You could do a club museum at this point.
I loved the show today fellas. Iam very excited to hear that the Golf Bidder series is back and I cannot wait to see the video.
Looking forward to the golfbidder challenge, long overdue!
Does LIV have an app so you can follow them? Like the PGA Tour app. I can´t find it sadly.
Let's all be honest, if Tiger had done this same thing back in his prime, we'd all be talking about it to this day. Nobody would have been "offended"
I was just wondering when you and Pete and Matt were going to get back together! At least you and Pete! Can’t wait it will be great to watch!!
Yes Rick vs Finch!!
Thanks Matt
Rick! My dad actually helped design the simulators at Urban Golf!! He worked for the company aboutGolf who designed and installed the sims there. Crazy how an Ohio company can end up all over.
This is my 2nd year golfing and I play the Cobra RF MB's I learnt on the New Level 623 MB's and once I went to blades I cant go back
Awesome podcast as usual, I really enjoy every one. So excited to hear the Golf Bidder challenge is back. missed those and wondered if it would return, would love to see a other get involved in this challengealso.
Me and my partner went to swingers, best adult mini golf venue going. Cocktails brought to you on course is a nice touch
Golfbidder challenge get in!!!!
Rick, the word you're looking for is "CAMPY". :)
