"As good as the relationship with Adidas has been, it just didn't fit in his plans," one of the sources said. "A major part of starting a team is establishing a brand identity and building that brand. The primary asset is the shirt."

"DJ needed a clean break to start his team. He's grateful to Adidas for letting him out of the deal."




My god lsupride is seriously a psycho with this stuff. So his thread title is complete b.s. DJ essentially dropped them but pride is saying he can't blame Adidas for what they did What a freaking douche.

How do the teams work in LIV? The quote above implies that DJ truly owns the team… does he pay his players above and beyond where another team pays? Could he poach a player from another team? Is it his money or does he get a budget from the PIF?

DJ moved because of more money for less work,

No they're lying!
. The pga obligated him to play less…..

So yes, that was a lie. He is now obligated to play more golf than before, not less

And those 14 events include far more travel

Varner was extremely honest with his reason for LIV. I commend him. DJ was halfway honest at least and made it about the money. But the “less work” angle is horseshite

The rest were full of absolute shite

And I still blame NONE of them. It’s their call. And I can’t blame people for following money if that’s what they want

I only think two things are ridiculous :

1. The players reasoning that just aren’t true

“Less work” “more family time” “grown the game”

2. Fanboys knighting for anything and everything LIV. It’s just a fact LIV golfers have disappeared from any relevance at all for the mainstream sports fan. They are all but dead outside of the majors.

There are no LIV fanboys. It’s just people responding to an imbecile who’s wrong about pretty much everything and constantly hates on LIV and fanboys for the pga. You’re too stupid to realize the more you talk the dumber you look

Please show me all the LIV posts I have the last few months.

Besides this thread, I may have posted in 1-3 other LIV threads.

So if he plays 14 required LIV events and whatever majors he can get in, he will indeed be playing less.

He CHOSE to play those 15 pga events. He was allowed to play less by the pga. He is obligated to play 14 LIV events. He didn’t do this for less work. That simply isn’t true.

No reason to knight for him like it was.

Also, how many events you reckon LIV will have for 2024? Think they will stick with 14 as they said?

There are LIV fan boys?

I agree with the guys leaving, take the money when you can get it, but I’ve never watched nor do I even know how to watch LIV

We live in a clickbait world of cancellations for saying nothing. They’re trying to answer all these insane questions about them endorsing hate crimes and being anti gay and anti women and all this shite when they just took a bunch of money to play golf. Why does no one do the same for people in bed with china?

Yeh, so he needed to play 11 outside the majors. The majors count towards the 15

It can be any 15 events co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour, including the four majors and four World Golf Championships, as well any of the FedEx Cup playoff events. So long as a player competes in 15 events.[/quote


And not to mention, in 2022, DJ became exempt from having to play a minimum number of tournament due to his win total and years on tour…..

There are two parts to the ‘play less’ argument.

One being the rule itself.

The other being the fact that the PGA tour plays a ton of tournaments that don’t mean shite but still give out a lot of points.

So regardless of what the rule says, the system itself allowed players like Mackenzie Huges to get a bunch of FedEX points playing in fall tournaments against weak fields.

So it forced superstars to play in more tournaments.

LIV is going to crash and burn. The only thing I could see changing that trajectory is if say 6/8 majors are won by a LIV player. Most fans only watch the majors and that might get them the attention they need.
