That looks like a hospitality tent set up on the 11th green at the houston open. Not a party hole at WM.

And maybe it’s the camera, but that looks like a 90 yard par 3

I played TPC Craig Ranch, where they play the Byron Nelson, last year one week before the actual tournament. All the grandstands and everything was up. Number 17, par 3, was a lot more seats and suites than that. The entire event had tons of grandstands.
No offense to LIV, but they tried to go big last year, and the ratings and attendance ain’t following.
And now that the PGA made the changes, which LIV I will admit did help, who else is gonna jump ship to LIV?
It’s only a matter of time before it’s gone

Especially when one of their bigger names is at Augusta last week saying if he had been healthy he may not have gone.

I think it’s far more likely you see guys returning than it is you see current players leaving for LIV.

I like the new ideas. Whether they work or not, a little shake up and competition is good in the end.

That's all folks... shut LIV down. The PGA drew in more fans than a newly formed LIV. It's only down from here.

Party Hole



Nothing about LIV is a party. They operation they run is so abysmal that there isn’t even time in the day to actually party. People end up being pissed tf off while they wait an hour to get a beer.

Gooch with the -10 my lord - I watched a bit it looked full. Perhaps LIV focuses a bit more on international events moving forward?

exactly what i thought. They are trying to be The Formula one of golf. No need to play as much in the US.

The LIV format isn't the most appealing thing to me but i also cant stand soccer and thats the biggest sport worldwide

Best LIV event so far by a mile. Finally had some energy to it because of the number of people out there.

Agree with others that say they need to do less US events to generate some buzz, especially since a lot of the players are non US folks.

The crowd seems awesome… but man it’s hard to get excited about that leaderboard.

LIV has to hope some of the stars get in contention tonight.

The golf played at LIV yesterday beat the crap out of the golf I watched in New Orleans. The quality was even remotely close. I think LIV just realized that the PGA long abandoned lucrative markets for the US market and that if the turnout looks like this again we will see countries like South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, and other places cause golf to become global.

The PGA is stale as shite because they abandoned the rest of the world.

Video from this week in Australia. Looks like a party to me, maybe you’re just not very fun.
