Video Description
In the second episode of Monthly Meets, our in-depth interview series with some of the biggest names in golf, Dan Parker sits down with LIV Golfer and now two-time senior major champion Richard Bland to discuss his career, the process of joining LIV and what the future holds.
This video was filmed in late May, specifically the week after Richard won the US Senior PGA Championship – hence no reference to him then winning the US Senior Open. His Cleeks GC team also went on to win the LIV Houston event the week after this interview.
Be sure to tune in every month for more big interviews with some of the most high profile names in the sport! Massive thanks to Richard for being so generous with his time and joining us for the second episode of Monthly Meets and to the Wisley for hosting us!

Well done Richard. You've earned it.
My favourite player on the Liv tour. Great competitor, always delivers 👍😎
👍✅😜✅👍
What a brilliant story and so happy for you my fellow Richard! Watched your final round and the determination and resilience you showed was incredible. Don't rule this guy out of an open championship charge!
What a solid honest guy, good luck to him!
Erm, erm, erm, erm, erm, erm.
Well done Blandy, what an inspiration 👏
Great golfer, true gentleman, and a graphic demonstration that there doesn’t need to be divide in golf. I am one of those that enjoy LIV, not least because its ad free so watchable, mostly because its great golf and entertainment. Richard Bland exemplifies freedom for professional golf
Great interview – very open & honest.
Started supporting him when he won the British Masters – always look out for his results and tune in a bit if the timing suits me. Also support Aaron Rai – for some reason I love a (no offence meant at all) a second tier british tour pro. Hopefully see him at JCB!
I hope the guys get back together with 4 round cut tourneys, but I’ve changed my opinion on liv dulling people’s game. It’s obliviously competitive and keeping guys sharp young and old
Nothing but class from Blandy. Good on ya mate!
What made his game suddenly click after 30 years ? A new coach?Why doesn't the interviewer ask this obvious question?
Great to see you achieve the peak of golf
The US has committed more crimes against humanity then all other nation’s combined. There is no moral high ground.
Shameless PGA Tour. It does not own golf or golfers. Golf is global.
The guy plays in no cut events and therefore cashes a decent check every tournament. How is that not offering you a dollar? Now he wins two majors on the Champions Tour and he has the answers. He took the cash…no big deal. Own up to it. The LIV tour is a joke.
Have a lot of respect for the guy! Saw him play on Challenge Tour pushing his own buggy (no caddy) and DP and Liv. Hard working straight forward guy 👍👍😊💪
Err, Errm, So err!!!
Always rooting for Blandie after his first win. One of the sweetest swings out there.
So so pleased for Richard, I won't forget him celebrating his DP tour win with Tim Barter, truly tear jerking. All success to him…..
As you said "you knew what would happen when sind up to LIV !!!!!" Get over it 😢
“Liv never got into fracturing the sport in any way.” LOLOLOL cmon dude, what a quote
Bland is a great man
What a good dude. Who wouldn’t root for this guy. Such an inspiring story of persistence and keeping at it.
Great interview. If dropped from LIv he can play the International Series
Wish you were at Carnoustie..
Great attitude.
he finished top 24 because his competition isn’t top shelf. Hope he enjoys his blood money.
Lebron James and others have donated to schools, after school programs and have put their money where their mouth is. Fair play to them, they have character that should be emulated. The LIV players can close their eyes to the Saudis whitewashing their record by throwing money at sports but I will not be able to abide it.
Dickie Bland a legend, golf was dieing of a slow death, PGA Tour is a US organization and while a well run organization it is US eccentric not Global, LIV is Global andnlove the party hole theme, but also local rules like being able to use a range finder in tournament play which helps sppedd up play, howm many times we seen a caddie pace off yardage with todays tech is ridiculous. I think LIV can set up a new golf rules organization as not agreeing to role back the ball size and can we stop playing out of divots in the fairway, should be a free drop, just a few examples where us fans want to see changes. Great interview
It's hard not to root for Blandy!
Has he ever worked a real job, or just plays a game?
Very nice interview. I'm glad to see a guy like Bland contribute to the success of LIV and come back and win majors on the Seniors PGA side.
Shame he did not get a nice cheque from LIV. I had assumed he got something given the money being thrown around. Happy is making good money there. The hypocrisy of the PGA and their pet poodle the European Tour is pitiful.
LIV is not a pro league, no matter if they have previous pros as members. Of course when you leave the pro league you will not be exempt of the majors. LIV are free to create their own majors – good luck.
Good on you for taking the money mate. You have to secure your future and your family's future. Anyone sitting here criticising you for doing so is talking absolute rubbish. They would have done the exact same thing.
Get this guy a tissue! Great video
