Nobody is watching LIV and the PGA is better with guys like DJ, Brooks, Rahm, and Cam Smith playing on it.


y'all love to say this like it’s a fact. I guarantee you, golf fans all over the world will be watching Rahm play on LIV this weekend. I’m much more interested in watching that instead of pebble beach.

Let’s not act like they’ll all be running back to the PGA Tour either. They will still be playing team golf on LIV, but it will be nice to see them back in PGA events.

Then let’s use the ratings to judge. But you don’t want to do that

LIV golf is sort of like the YouTube golfers to me like Good Good, Bryan Bros, grant horvat, Etc. Some people enjoy it and watch it. Personally, I don’t have any interest in it.

It’s entertainment. It’s not serious golf. Maybe one day it will be. It’s not now.

There’s a reason they won’t release the ratings. It’s a shite product.

I’m sure rahm will increase ratings, but it does nothing for me and I won’t watch.

You’re entitled to your own opinion.
I’m excited to watch Rahm, Cam Smith, Dechambeau, Koepka, DJ, Phil, & others play this weekend

Yes we are entitled to opinions. Ratings aren’t opinions though.

I, for one, am excited to watch both. For this week, will probably focus more on PGA Tour, as it's Pebble Beach. Mayakoba just won't capture me like Pebble does.

Good.


If this prevents a deal from getting it's not. PGA Tour was right by taking that deal as well but I wouldn't have done anything without PIF/Ramayyan being in the know. Last thing the PGA Tour and golf fans in general need is them backing out and continuing to poach players from the Tour.

This was required by the US Government in order to get around anti-trust issues. Calm down.

Why are the Saudis mad then? Why are they even still going to the table with the Pga tour? Shouldn’t they just being dominating golf on their own if they are so great and winning? That’s the question some LIV bots don’t want to answer.

They have unlimited funds, unlimited. Yet, they still need the PGA tour in their minds. Kinda impressive

I have no clue. 3 billion is nothing to them. I was simply saying they already bent Jay over.
