I never cared either way to be honest with you not sure why you are suggesting I did.
To each their own in how someone provides money to themselves and their family.
I personally pulled for an American today to win it.

Sigh….

You really need to research how much of your life is built on SA oil. Hint - it’s not just fueling everything you have.

It’s really weird how a player from LIV wins a major, the first one and somehow this is a win for LIV. I doubt Bryson is crediting LIV for anything at all. This whole LIV and pga battle between fans is real weird and pathetic.

LIV is a joke. They have a couple good players that have miraculously been able to maintain their form while playing goofy golf. It surprises me how many people on this board are cool with an American institution and league in the PGA tour being taken over by a foreign investment fund. Not sure we’d see quote the same reaction if they tried to buy the NFL.

That’s great. I’m not saying to boycott Saudi. My point is I’m confused why anyone in this country would pull for Saudi to be successful at anything they do. Everything they believe in is diametrically opposed to everything you believe in.

Im not a huge fan of the pga or of the USA government in its current state. I just can’t understand why the pga is so hated. If we make a list of questionable things each entity (pga and Saudi) has done do you really think it’s even close?

This is the second major actually and at least one LIV golfer has been there at the end for the others.

He credited his Crushers team members for helping him get to the place he's in mentally.

Didn't Sergio give him his spot because it was Puig's dream to represent Spain in the Olympics?

At the end of the day LIV is averaging about 200-300k viewers per tourney, while the WNBA is almost 500k. It's been several years now and it still sucks eggs

LIV plays stoke play golf on a golf course with the same rules. Play ball as lies, put ball in hole. What about this would make them ‘lose their form’?

Is this stat just for the US viewing numbers? Does it include streaming?

Is this the standard we’re holding LIV to? One golfer was competitive in the tournament so LIV is great?

Bryson’s been great. He and Sergio were the only LIV players to finish in the top 20 in this tournament. That doesn’t really lead me to believe the leagues are equal in terms of talent.

Love the downvotes with no replies proving me wrong.


I don't think you got any replies because it was a dumb enough post to not warrant any replies.

Hahahahahahaha yeah Paul Casey, charles Howell, and Anirban Lahiri really helped him prepare. This is the dumb shite people can’t stand. Liv had nothing to do with the win yesterday. Bryson has been really good. Safe to say him and maybe Brooks are the only ones who have been. But they were that before LIv. Why are you making this about Liv? This is the shite that is so weird.

I guess you got me here, but I don’t think the average American golf fan could tell you who David Puig is much less how his game improved.

Which is kind of his point I believe. Bryson has gone to a different level while the Cam Smith’s, rahm’s, DJ’s, etc have regressed.

This is tv viewers for both.

For streaming, I found this:

"YouTube counts a viewer as long as a user intentionally clicks on a video, and the video plays for at least 30 seconds. The LIV Golf + app uses similar avenues to count viewers, the league said."

Not sure how the pga counts standard streaming

The two liv major winners are:

Brooks, who never cared for anything other than majors

And

Bryson, who is a maniac that lives for golf and plays more than anyone

Other than that, nobody else has won. And this year specifically liv has not done well in majors as a whole. I don’t think LIV fans would want to use the majors as a rallying cry for liv and it’s worth

LIV: where the championship golfers compete.




I have never been a fan of LIV, in part to my dislike of Greg Norman but mostly in part due to it being a ridiculous state run program

That being said, I get why players took the money and the LIV has talented players .... But in reality ... They have 4..5.. Elite players that can win any event on the planet any week and 43 other players

Watching Full Swing and seeing Claude Harmon pimping LIV is humorous. I get Brooks is his guy, but equating the remainder of LIV to Brooks (in talent ) is a far stretch : if your not Dechambeau, Smith, Rahm,
