Those are dumb and only a part of the PGA tour bc of LIV
No cut tournaments have been part of the PGA schedule long before LIV ever existed.

saying it doesn't compare is just wrong. I am not a huge fan of LIV but if it didn't compare, they wouldn't be poaching all of the biggest tour players. Also if it didn't compare, the PGA wouldn't be busting their asses to merge. Like it or not it is growing big time
Did USFL compare well to the NFL when they got Herschel and Jim Kelly to sign back in the day or did they simply over pay to try and seem relevant? If you think the PGA is busting their asses to merge so bad why did they just sign the deal with a venture capital firm? Looked like to me it was to keep from having the merge.

The WGC events, the Sentry Tournament of Champions, and fed ex cup playoffs were the only ones I can remember. Not really the same imo.

I thought the match play was cool, but they don’t do that really to decide the true champ. Wish they did that for the finals too. Not exactly sure why they would go back to Stroke Play. Definitely made the finals less exciting to me.

According to the no laying up guys it was to get around antitrust issues with DOJ. the VC firm may sell equity to PIF now.

These days the PGA courses are the brands. The folks on the 16th hole of the Waste Management are going to cheer or boo players like they were Tiger Woods or McIlroy. These guys playing on the front page of the leaderboard are mostly unknowns. That's the state of the PGA.
Pro Golf is a divided house and to be honest most of the brand names reside with LIV.
But you just keep doing you.

Jon Rahm won’t regret taking the $500M. But he will really miss playing serious golf outside of Majors and Ryder cup.
Are you serious?
Half a billion dollars to play the only 5 tournaments that actually matter, and then play a more relaxed fun golf the rest of the year?
No I don’t think he’ll regret a damn thing.

They are having fun because they get so much guaranteed money. Some of them get hundreds of millions before teeing off. LIV is a joke. It's exhibition golf. I'd rather see guys play through four rounds where one shot really makes a difference. There's no drama with the shotgun start. The team play is okay, but the actual tournament is a joke. I can live with 54 holes if each round matters and it matters coming up to the 18th hole.

What about the new no cut pga events?
To even get in the field you have to make the cut based on the standings or having won a PGA tournament. So it is merit based. Not sure why people can't grasp that distinction.

Yeah, but cuts are a part of real professional golf

I’m not sure that is the best comparison.

People on here only like LIV because Trump does. Biggest sheep on the internet. Really embarrassing.

I like it because it makes your pussy bleed. I used to hate the Cowboys, but when the neck bearded incels would talk trash about them, I became a fan.

Do all 4 scores count now in the final round?
And if so, is that new? I always thought it was just the top 3 scores per round.
They originally had it as 2 scores until 3 on Sunday and they changed it as the league got deeper

They have by far the best leaderboard currently.
PGA has no names.

You think they are leaving because the product is comparable? Lol, they are leaving because they are getting hundreds of millions of dollars with zero pressure or incentive other than to show up.
