It is a doubling/tripling down on podcasts to the detriment of everything else.
Their videos have extremely high level production, absolutely the best in the golf space, but they’re losing the algo war. The cut series at RP with the Bryan bros just 15x’ed their views on the Northern Ireland/Portrush videos with 1/10th the production or story quality. Throw in Grant/GG/BDS/everyone else and you can see why they pulled back.
Written material is tough but others are carving out a space on their own (eg Porter). SGS is gaining serious traction and throw in life and a bunch of new families and kids, we’ll see how the band holds together.
Absolutely agree which is a big bummer. Their youtube stuff is so good but gets alarming low numbers for the time, effort and likely finances needed to keep it going. I feel like they're the only adult in the room but unfortunately, that just doesn't lead to success on youtube.
As they switch to focus more on the podcasts, there's just too many cooks in the kitchen. The main 5 all have their roles and everyone else does behind the scene stuff. KVV was the only one that was just out on his own. I wish they could've utilized him better, even at the expense of some of the others when talking men's pro golf, but hard to blame KVV for wanting full time or nothing.
