It's the last Talk Birdie To Me pod for 2023, thanks for listening through the year we appreciate it. We will be back in 2024, so look forward to seeing you then. In the meantime, we've got a massive final episode to get through!We kick off with Footjoy/Nike gate and Tiger Woods. Is the Tiger/Nike partnership over? We'll know for sure in a couple of weeks, but Tiger certainly isn't talking as though it will continue. Mark is staggered that he hasn't tried to create his own footwear line.On Tiger, Mark suggests to Nick that Charlie Woods has a better swing than his Dad...big call, but Nick and Mark discuss. One thing is for sure, Charlie is developing very fast and he is already an excellent golfer. Nick and Mark explain why the young kids coming through in the US are so good.Onto LIV. Plenty of players rumoured to be moving across in the wake of the Rahm move, and we discuss. How will it end? Nick believes ultimately they'll come together, but that it is not out of the question that they may remain separate. Mark asks Nick what he would do with the kind of money offered. Nick believes the PGA's most powerful bargaining tool is the majors, as ultimately players want to win majors. Mark suggests that once LIV gets more involved in women's golf, that will be a game-changer.Mark is impressed with the Min Woo Lee sizzle reel that he saw online this week. We have a listen.Mark then raises the idea of moving the Australian open to February right after the tennis. And he has an idea about a Sandbelt Masters....interesting.We discuss weird drinks at golf clubs, there are always a few strange ones. Mark has had a new one and he is hooked on it.Plenty of feedback this week, including a couple of whacks for Nick and Mark, and an apology to the boys from pod listener Dazzler. And our final PING global results for the year, and there's lots for Nick to run through!It's back to a Top 5 this week after Nick made an executive decision to expand last week to a Top 10. Mark counts down the Top 5 best things he has seen in golf this year. Includes Mark trying to claim credit for one of the best young players in the world.Masterclass this week is from Nick O'Hern and for the final one in 2024 Nick talks about effortless power.Thanks for listening this year, we appreciate it - we'd love you to share the pod with a friend or two, and maybe listen back to some of the other episodes from the year - lots of good gear.Talk Birdie To Me is back in 2024, with new episodes weekly from mid-January wherever you get your podcasts.

A huge week in golf, every week seems to be at the moment. Before we get onto the big LIV news, and the new rules, Nick and Mark are pumped about the Aussies performance in the champions tour qualification. One of Marks top 5 things he's ever seen in golf,We have to discuss the huge Rahm deal to go to LIV. Mark believes this is a clear sign that talks have completely broken down between LIV and the PGA, Nick agrees. We discuss at length what it might mean, who's next, what the PGA can do to defend against the LIV poaching - if anything. The numbers are extraordinary. Both Nick and Mark have plenty of thoughts on what needs to be done, and describe the current situation in golf worldwide as 'sad'. Nick asks where will it all end, and Mark believes there is one first step that needs to be done to move towards a resolution, involving one particular person being removed from their current role.The new rules are confirmed. Nick and Mark support the changes, but don't believe they've gone far enough yet and discuss on the pod.Lots of feedback this week to discuss, including a couple of great questions from you. If you have any questions or comments, let us know on socials, email or voicemail. We have a ripping voicemail this week from David who has a couple of questions for Nick and Mark about visualisation and swing thoughts.As usual Nick takes us all over the world with the PING global results, plenty to look at, some excellent performances.This weeks Top 5 has a twist. Nick is counting down his Top 5 best shots of the year....but he can't narrow it down, so he makes an executive decision to expand it to a Top 10. When you hear the shows, hard to argue - all very worthy!And Mark does the masterclass this week on the importance of staying down, particularly at the start of your backswing.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts.
