The more Phil talks the more I realize he’s a moron who just believes he’s the smartest person in every room. I don’t think he even realizes how his statement is going to be interpreted.

In NFL terms: “I feel a lot more relaxed at the pro bowl than I do in playoff football”

I mean, for him, he was. At his age, his only other choice was Champions and he had no interest in that. Combine that with his personal issue with the Tour and LIV was perfect for him. The others? Yeah, not so much other than a money grab which I am not going to judge them for.

He's saying what we've all known as far as LIV.

He actually said none of that.

You’re the absolute worst at misleading thread titles to start your little narrative.

Sounds more like he enjoys it bc of the environment, his teammates, & the guarantees of playing the whole tournament.

Carry on with your anti-LIV propaganda though

What

quote:

“At a LIV event, I can't wait to get here. I come earlier. I can't wait to get here. The experience from a player's standpoint, it's better than I could have ever imagined.”


So he literally can't wait to play in a LIV tournament but that means he doesn't care and they don't matter?

You are more ate up with LIV than Jim is.

He literally talked about how he was anxious for tour events and now he isn’t. All those “details and everything that went on” was anxiety creating. You know, the details like it actually meaning something

Every single human is taking his comments the way I am

Phil doubling down on his dumbassness

The anxiety was from actually trying to grow the game while on Tour, now he doesn’t have to worry about that either

Again, no they’re not. I don’t know why you always say shite like this. It’s clear what you’re trying to do.

Of only they posted transcripts of these interviews so things don’t get taken out of context…. I noticed Bryson’s answer wasn’t included.

Bryson and Phil, welcome back to Detroit. The you guys have interesting history here. I was just wondering, if you could compare or explain a LIV Golf tournament for people who aren't familiar obviously here, how is it a better experience for you as players but also for the fans? Is there something you'd like to see improved in the tournament experience for LIV going forward?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I think, as it comes to players, we've been up here in this area a few times. I've played well up here. I love the area. I love the people. It's always fun to come back up in the Detroit area.

I'd say from a player perspective, at least from my perspective, l've certainly enjoyed everything about LIV Golf, the team aspect. I mean, we get to do this, which is not normal; it's not what we used to do. Being able to play against the best players in the world is a lot of fun for me. I think, as it comes down to it, having something different from stroke play is fun as well and something we don't do enough of, I personally think. So I love it.

Then from a fan experience, I would say that they get to see some intimate, unique, different style of golf. It's not just normal stroke play obviously. We barely get to see that throughout the year. You've got the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup that we play some team golf events, but seeing this more frequently is, I think, a different experience. Then just walking around the complex and having the fan village and feeling like you're a part of the entertainment is a little different. So there's numerous reasons why this league's a lot different, a lot more fun from my perspective.

It's intense. When you get out there, we all want to win. I think that's the thing that people misunderstand about LIV Golf is that we're fighting for every single shot. I've said it numerous times, but like, when we're playing stroke play, every single shot matters. It doesn't matter if you're 40th and whatnot. Come to the last day, every single shot matters. No matter how bad you're playing, you still have to hit the next best shot.

I think that's what's a little bit different. There's that intensity change within the league, which is a misconception. For the fans around here, I think they're going to have a fun time. They're going to experience some high-level golf, and later this week hopefully have a fun, enjoyable time that hopefully changes their perspective.

PHIL MICKELSON: I can't really say from the fans' point of view other than what l've heard because I haven't been a spectator. It seems that, when fans are leaving, they've had a good time. They've left relaxed, enjoying and wanting more, rather than have the day drag on, being tired and run down, and being stressed about not interfering and being quiet and so forth. It seems as though the fans have walked away from the experience having fun and wanting more.

From the players' experience, rather than going into every little detail, I would just say that I used to have anxiousness going to a TOUR event with all the details and things that would go on. I would be anxious and not want to go. I'd go as late as I could. A LIV event, I can't wait to get here. I come earlier. I can't wait to get here. The experience from a player's standpoint, it's better than I could have ever imagined.

I posted the actual video so it couldn’t possibly be out of context

We all love to hear how pros aren’t anxious at all for their events and how they hate having to deal with fans and all that bullshite you know? We just all want them to have no pressure at all and get to, how do you say it, hit and giggle….

Didn’t see the original question or Bryson’s answer in that video… carry on


“LIV tournaments don’t matter” but they’ll be getting OWGR points next year

Not being anxious =/= not caring at all. It's ridiculous to think that. That's just being purposefully obtuse and creating your typical clickbait titles.
