Rick Sheils To LIV
Surely he's getting more than $50k annually, right? Did I interpret that correctly?
- Edited
I'm pretty big into the YT golf and I think this is the next big iteration. Now that everyone has upped their production value and are putting out good long form content there was little to separate the channels. Getting access to events and players is the new must have and this puts Rick in a great position.
I like Rick. I’ve watched a lot of his stuff. I enjoy watching Bob Does Sports too. I can relate to their games unfortunately
Who cares? He reviews clubs…
IMO, this might be LIV's indirect answer to TGL, in that the audience will get to see more of the "personalities" of the star golfers, instead of the benign TV interviews most people see.
Do people really care that much about Tour Golfers off the course?
Will it result in more viewers?
I doubt it.
Mr.Short Game estimated $10 Million.
candukid He probably signed for well north of a million $ is my guess.
Given what the players have been getting, and what he will be doing, I'd say the figure is quite obscene. It did take them quite a long time to get him signed, He will cover every event, making videos of play with all teams in between tournaments. That has to be worth a lot more than any of the announcers are being paid, at the very least.
Going to be a very busy man. And even more wealthy. His subscribers/followers have jumped almost .5M since he announced this venture.
