I watched four holes yesterday on LIV and they were really exciting. I watched four holes today on tour and they were exciting. As a fan I enjoyed both. Go frick yourself.


The LIV golf was fine. I felt similar to how I felt this morning watching Linn Grant whoop up on all the men at the Scandinavian mixed. Just not a very good leaderboard for both events.

I think I’m just confused as to why y’all want LIV to succeed so badly, instead of just finding a way to make the PGA Tour better.

I too had two friends who were 5’1 growing up. So I’m not here to height shame.

They graduated 5th grade and continued to grow but that’s neither here nor there.



I can’t wrap my mind around our friends here cheering on this shift if golf.

Maybe because the PGA Tour needs to change. You shouldn't have to work your whole life, make the major leagues, and then possibly lose money because you miss cuts. That needs to change. If LIV changes that, then perfect.

Because with the money they’re throwing around, the PGA tour will be minor league soon so we all better get used to it

Dude I’ve watched the Koran Ferry this week and enjoyed the hell out of it.

I will enjoy any golf content.


That doesn’t mean I want to give up the epic shite the PGA Tour has been producing on nearly a weekly basis.

Have you ever been to a tour event? I have been to a few.

If there are 100 players in attendance, the crowd doesn't give a shite about 75% of them.

When Tiger shows up, 10,000 will leave the course to watch him chip and putt.

And when the tour comes to town, and you look for the top names... and they aren't there? Lol. I'm here to see Webb Simpson!

I guess the folks at the top want a bigger slice of the pie?

…what?

At what rank in the world do you think players are consistently losing money?

Why are they done wrong?

I wonder why they always ask the top players to comment on LIV. Ask some of those struggling to make cuts how the PGA Tour is for their future. Might be a bit more stressful.

I wonder what the last person in each major sport is making in salary each year? I wonder where golf ranks.

The guy at 136 on the fedex cup list is ecstatic, I guarantee.

I am a human being who actually tried to play pro tennis, and you sound like a pussy. Golf actually does a far better job of supporting their bottom players compared to tennis

But we all signed up for an individual sport. There shouldn’t be money unless you perform. That has its negative aspects, but it also has its positive

What would your preferred pay structure look like?

How many spots is the tour guaranteeing payment to and what dictates the last player paid from the first not paid?

Lost alot. And banged around places like Georgia, the country……Wish I could have been taking a van around America like these golfers

I don’t blame the players at all for taking he money, but what LIV is doing absolutely wasn’t needed to “save golf”

Golf was in the best place it’s ever been.

I don't know. How many players in the NFL? Are they all paid? Did they figure it out? Just saying.

Not really. They have to be top-125 to keep their tour card, or is that their ranking? I forget, but not being in the top 125 in fedex is a big deal to them.

Lol what, you mean pro athletes somehow should not have to perform anymore to get paid once they “make it”? If only the real world worked like that. What a fricking entitled statement

Ok. You are clueless. Do other sports get paid to be in the majors? Golfers don't.
