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.

Otherwise known as… not serious golf.

Jon Rahm won’t regret taking the $500M. But he will really miss playing serious golf outside of Majors and Ryder cup.

I don’t watch pro sports to see athletes be comfortable or have fun personally

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.

I for one also feel much better that these guys can now be more comfortable and have fun while playing a game for millions of dollars regardless of performsnce!

I bet you’d feel differently about, say, the NBA….

I have. I tried to like it, but it just won't grow on me.
The shitty music always droning in the background, and players scattered all over the course instead of leaders grouped together are the two biggest issues I have personally.
If you like it, OK. I don't.
frick the PGA for causing this also, because they have driven their best players away from their own tournaments.
Looks like the GGO or John Deere Classic every weekend now.

I’d park a lawn chair at the local muni if I wanted to see that gay shite
