If they only want 1,2, or 3 rounds and wear swimsuits fine but this team bull crap is what turns me off. Play a tourney see who wins. Start your own Majors legacy maybe have a different type tournament or something. I’ve always thought a match play like the world golf shaped like the ncaa tournament would be a cool major (not for the pga tour with established big 4) but it’s definitely LIVy and not freaking teams

They do play a traditional tournament over 54 holes. The team aspect is a tournament within the traditional tournament. What I really like about LIV is the relaxed atmosphere, and the casual dress code. The players are much more comfortable, and they are having fun. Watch a few rounds and you'll see.

They just also happen to have team events...along with the individual.

It is a horrible format.

Which is why no matter how many big names they poach, it’ll never compare. It’s just a horrible product

They have an individual champion in 13 out of 14 events.

Do you really not know this or does it aggravate you that much that there is a team aspect?

The team competition matters for guys like Adrian Meronk (+4), Carlos Ortiz (+5), etc who are already out of the individual competition after round 1 - but their team is top 2. Their score will count for the team competition on Sunday, so they need to play well

I don't mind the shotgun start, but the team thing is queer, especially how they constantly go on and on about it, and cuts are part of professional golf. I guess hand holding and participation trophies are now part of both tours. You would have thought they would have made changes to the commentary since last year, because it's awful.

Because LIV has a better ring to it than LXXII.

There is a way to make the team thing work but as it stands now I agree it doesn't work. I think they need an end of the year ryder cup style bracket team match to decide the winner

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.

Watched about 30 minutes of the tournament today. I just cant get into it. The entire production is just subpar. I know theyre trying to be different but the current production and format of a regular golf tournament on tv doesnt need a fixing. The music, the graphics, the intros are all just low rent trash. They spent a fortune and its like I am watching Caddyshack 2
