Just bizarre signings to say the least so far.


Seems like an obvious strategy. They cannot get the best players yet. The best players in the world see a washed up player that is no longer competitive on PGA tour make $50 million playing 14 54 m-hole events while they are making $5-10 million of year playing a full schedule of 72 hole tournaments. Way more money for way less work? Who in their right mind would not take that deal and let a lesser qualified person take it instead?

And the game of golf will be worse for it.

Y'all forgetting Jack was offered a lot of money and how long ago he played a competitive round. It's all about name recognition.

I would agreed with you 4 years ago. That’s just simply not the case today. Bubba isn’t mainstream- he literally doesn’t exist to the casual fan.


Top 10 in PIP (most impactful golfers on the PGA Tour last year) says you’re wrong

I think he got all his points from Tik Tok or social media in general.

Bubba was just on LIV stream doing an interview during 1st round of Bedminster. He's been injured & is recovering from a knee surgery he got after the PGA Championship.

I think he will be in attendance at LIV Boston, but he is not playing until the 2023 league begins.

So it is showing 52K watching on YouTube. I'm guessing that isn't that good?

you PGA boys said the same for Portland. Half the world is sleeping right now. It's been floating around 60k live viewers through R1 today.

That's only on youtube. Their stream on LIVGolf.com is not connected to youtube stream so there could be more watching through the website.

I’ve been drinking most of the afternoon but some cat just told me that Taylor Made is buying in and/or sponsoring DJ’s LIV golf team at the tune of $1 billion. And as a captain, DJ gets 25% of that? Is that at all true

That would be a terrible return on investment.

When they can't even get deliveries out on time.

Enough to get a ...700 to 800? Million dollar offer from the LIV ... Yet turned it down .. Which according to several on here: the LIV getting everyone because hundreds of millions is to much to turn down.. That's life changing money".

Look for a lot of big names to jump after the tour championship/President’s cup. Don’t be surprised if people like Burns, Cam Smith, and others in the top ten jump ship. Also, I expect Fowler to jump in a couple of weeks when he doesn’t finish in the top 125. He’ll have no status next year on the pga tour

Read an article that both him and Jason Day are exempt next year.

That's not life changing money for Tiger Woods. But there is only one Tiger

When was that?

I tuned in for tiny spurts throughout the day and never saw it over 53k
