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


I guess that I am old fashioned , but it seems like a number of LIV players don't care about their lasting legacy.

I understand the money aspect, but guys like Rahm could have won more majors in their prime instead of being a footnote in a failed golf venture.

But mah Phil was right the whole time. When in fact Phil needed someone to bail him out of his gambling debts and other things. Sad that legit golfers in their prime decided to believe and follow Phil to “greener pastures”.

Anyone reading into this thinking it means Bryson is out is incredibly naive

He’s 31. How many majors did Rory win in his prime?

so known players who are leaving LIV thus far include:

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


That's 2 Americans that got early deals and 3 Euros who know that the DP will be more flexible than the PGA Tour for past members.

Guys like Bryson are stuck like Chuck. It's either LIV 2.0 or the Korn Ferry. Given that choice why not see what LIV 2.0 can do.

They really need to hold on to Cam Smith and Jaco. Even though Cam sucks now, he at least has name recognition and gives them a foothold in Australia.

Jaco is at least at top 30 player in the world.

Without those 2? It’s literally Bryson and his band of merry misfits.

What do you mean?

Rory won 0 majors from age 26-34. What happened? Did he go to some rival tour or something?

We can stop acting like Cam Smith isn’t joining LIV 2.0

This was last week

Good argument. I was thinking by prime you meant as a young golfer, but you are right about those years.

You may even be able to argue that this was good for Rahm. If he didn't win any majors while on the PGA Tour, the media would really be hounding him. Instead, he got to enjoy obscurity on a tour whose only positive memory will be a former addict winning a golf tournament.

That was definitely banter from me, but in 10 years, the memories will be all the silly things LIV brought.

- rigged draft
- flash mob
- Everything Norman said
- Going from 54 to 72 holes and making the name make no sense
- New Orleans
- Too many to keep naming

It will be a good 30 for 30.

It's all about his mindset going forward. He was able to coast the past couple of years playing against a small field.

Now the PGA Tour has a boat load of young talent that can really play.

Rahm will have to find his game on the DP Tour for a while.

Good point here. The only tour that wants Bryson is LIV so he really doesn’t have much choice at this point.

I'm sure there are different motives for everybody trying to figure out the Sergio precedent.

Bryson's motive is likely to get out of his current contract to just renegotiate into a new contract where he can straddle the fence of league ownership and being a competitor.

At this point we're trending to this whole LIV 2.0 being Bryson's personal taxable income reduction league.

He can punch down in this new weak arse league and clean up with prize money, then can write most of that shite off when the entity that he was given partial ownership of continues to rack up incredible losses.

Wasn't this the last year of Bryson's contract? I thought that was the whole deal where he was giving cryptic messages in press conferences early in the year. Did he sign a new contract before all the uncertainty started? If not, I assume there is no contract to get out of.
