It’s been very entertaining. Sergio might regret that Thurmond Munson 3 footer.

ETA these Asian Liv events are great for staying up late drinking beer on Saturday and falling asleep on the couch

I have got to say the weather delay coverage is much better than the usual replay of last years event by the PGA tour.

Gooch wins back to back tournaments and yet won’t play in the US Open because they retroactively changed the rules on him.

USGA looks bad on this one.

Yep, they pretty much made a rule that only effected one player for this year's open. He can still make it in if he plays well at the PGA though. Another great LIV tournament in Singapore. The TV coverage is getting better and better every week. I watched the entire day up until the weather delay. The team thing adds another layer that keeps your attention up.

I love it. We have crap going on all the time on weekends. Got home from a wedding last night and did exactly what you described.

Gooch is playing incredible golf but what about Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe who broke the course record yesterday at Senosa with a 62.

This course has been played by 95% of the best golf players in the world since 2005 and this guy breaks the course record on arguably one of the hardest golf courses in the world.

The coverage and videography is becoming more and more F1 in quality. One of the major networks is going to break with the PGA imposed ban because this is starting to become a ratings bonanza for the CW.

He can also qualify thru USGA Sectionals.

Agree, not the goat ranch that LIV usually plays.

Don't know about the ratings bonanza thing yet.

I just saw a report that Talor Gooch (both LIV wins) won 9.5 million in one week with his caddy taking home more than $1 million. His caddy made more money than Jordan Speith made at the Masters for coming in 4th.

I didn’t realize how much the caddies gain financially out of this arrangement.

By report, do you mean a tweet from one of those horrid LIV takes accts?

But that’s really cool for them!

I will give LIV some credit. They had their product on my tv directly next to the pga tour when I brought up my menu.

I watched a little of both and actually enjoyed the LIV coverage more than the pga tour.

I have a very good friend on the pga tour. He is hovering in the 70-90 range right now. I watch the pga tour every week because of him.

I also enjoyed watching LIV these last two weeks. I don’t see why we can’t just enjoy watching golf.

This was the 3rd time I've watched and yesterday (I watched it on delay) was definitely a much improved coverage. Seems like they are working the kinks out of the coverage. I'm not a huge fan of the full length pylon leaderboard but if you're going to show the team scores I guess you have to have a pretty big pylon.

I have YouTube TV and while the tournament was on, on the channel guide CW was showing Paid Programming instead of the LIV Golf event. They are losing viewers if that's how it's always showing up.

Still can't figure out why the PGA Tourn won't let guys wear shorts. Clearly every golfer on the planet would rather wear shorts when playing.
