Masters banning players on the LIV tour will make some hesitate. That pulls a lot of weight that sometimes even money can't overcome.

Hell yeah. I'll probably watch it more than the shitty Canadian open


Really? The Canadian Open has a solid field. I'm enjoying watching Rory and JT this morning. Better than Phil and DJ.

I can't believe some thought the Masters would "bow down" to the PGA Tour. They read it wrong. Did anybody think the Masters wasn't going to throw their weight around when it comes to a Saudi Tour? The Masters are going to flex their muscles here and cripple LIV.

Will be interesting to see if they are able to ban the exempted players with green jackets as well.

Average pro golfers? They have at least 13 majors among just a few golfers so far. They are assembling a pretty good group and it’s only beginning. No way the tour stars watch people like Martin Kaymer make more money in seven tournaments than they make an entire year for long. This is a huge problem for PGA.


and half of those majors were won 10-20 years ago

There are what, maybe 5-8 top 50 golfers in the world playing?

didn't realize it started today - just turned it on.

I'm still not buying that the Masters is going to ban DJ and Phil.

I don’t think they do either. Will be nasty if they do.


So far I’m digging LIV… and I was very skeptical. If you have this format with the top guys and they are all able to play in the majors…. Going to really hurt the PGA

What are you digging so far? The scoreboard on the left is obnoxious and i watched 30 minutes. It's just golf, nothing is more "exciting".

I don’t think,the Masters will ban LIV players especially past Masters winners. They want to put on the best tournament possible. They can’t claim to have the best field by excluding some of the LIV players.

I like it. I think they can make a few improvements, but it is helpful for following the action of 48 guys playing at once. I also love that they have the word Replay on the scoreboard when showing a shot that already happened. I hate when PGA broadcasts try to play it off like it is live. Also, there is virtually constant action. I also like the holes to play graphic at the top. It's helpful to get an idea of how much golf is left.

Lastly, I wasn't sure how the shotgun start would go, but I really like it. It's like all other sporting events where all the action is happening at once instead of being drawn out over an entire day. I like that everything happens in 5 hours.

The problem is that I don't know half of the field, so an initial and 3 letters of their last name does nothing to help me figure out who they are.

They are also moving back and forth from one group to the next so fast, which changes the scoreboard to the current player each time, that I don't have enought time to read it.

They are keeping the top 5 on there at all times, which is helpful. I agree about the names on there. Even people I know take a second to figure out the mashup of letters that represent the last name.

I’m liking what I’m seeing so far, but for God’s sake, take the mics out of the holes. We don’t need to hear that shite every time a tap in goes in.

They sold less than 10,000 tickets for the entire 3 days, and most of those tickets were given away for free

Nobody is there
