LIV Golf has received verbal commitments from a significant number of players


So they got “verbal” commitments. I’m sure this will go well. ??

Also, no one watched or cared about LIV 1.0, Im guessing interest level for this new entity will be even worse!

Jim, I’ve always had the impression you latched onto to LIV because some of the golfers you liked most on Tour joined LIV. If those golfers are no longer on LIV 2.0, do you really care anymore or is this just an attempt to continue to argue with pride to prove who is right and wrong over a 4 year argument?

It appears the future of LIV, best case scenario, is a poor man’s DPWT. Maybe it has a place in the spectrum of pro golf, but is it even interesting to watch anymore?

It’s gotta be more interesting than TGL & people have no problem acting like that is a good product

Interested to see what LIV 2.0 looks like as it will be more focused on the team aspect

Other than the network broadcasting it, who are all the people pretending to like it or that it’s a good product

Furthermore, how is that relevant to what I asked you? But if you really want to take it there, the players playing in it are more interesting than the players who will be left on LIV (TGL is still dumb and I don’t watch it)

Man, all that success with an open checkbook to lure away already established names and it still went belly up within a few years. Wow!!! What an investment opportunity now!!

If they wanted to start a new league filled with team events the should have approached the PGA with the plan to partner.


To be fair to LIV, they did approach the PGA Tour. Monahan wouldn't meet with them. They've done everything else wrong, but they did try to be partners first.

Teddy sees billions of dollars in net operating losses. That's his interest in LIV, or as he calls it for some reason, "The LIV".

Guess Rahm didn’t read ole Ted’s memo that Legion XIII is just one more season away from being worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Rahm leaving is the final nail in the coffin.

Bury that shitty product. It’s dead (if it was ever alive)

so known players who are leaving LIV thus far include:

Patrick Reed (already left)
Brooks Koepka (already left)
John Rahm
Tyrell Hatton
Sergio Garcia

Joaquin Neimann said this in the last week
"Being part of LIV Golf and contributing to its performance has positive aspects, but given that this process could take several years, I’m not sure if it’s what I want to do at this stage of my career."

Cam Smith hasn't given any reasurring comments.

So who does that really leave that could conceivably earna PGA Tour card?

Dustin Johnson
Bryson
Lasasso (went to LIV from college)
Surratt (went to LIV from college)
Varner
Gooch
Bubba
Leishmann
Oosthuizen
Ortiz
Wolff (maybe)

The rest are largely a bunch of nobodies, washouts, or guys who are probably at or close to Champions Tour status. Can you build what amounts to a startup Tour and have success with this group of guys? Especially when, according to Scott O'Neil, it will run like an actual business moving forward?

Given what Rahm is owed, him leaving may actually increase the chances of 2.0 happening.

At this point if Bryson doesn’t stay LIV 2.0 is basically the B-tier Australian and South African golf tour. And that’s assuming Cam and Elvis stay as Cam’s lawyer has the bankruptcy court to terminate Cam’s contract to allow him to talk to third parties.
