The leaderboards at most tour stops are filled with tons of no names now, whereas in 2019 it was loaded.

Someone made fun of Dan for “not paying his wedding vendors”

Brooks is all mad because rightfully so Dan called the Wollf trade ridiculous. So brooks commented “we know why someone like Dan wouldn’t pay….”

Portnoy who is all over everything Jew right now on twitter pressed brooks on Why? Say why brooks, etc. Stool bots were fighting LIv bots. But deleted now

I don’t think Brooks is all for the Jihad but it’s just funny with the timing and his boss

So, not popping off. I'm sure Barstool has a screen shot you can produce.

I like watching pro golf on tv where the best players assemble every week. LIV has a better field than the PGA many weeks. So I’m good with adding another great player.

No. The majority of golf fans don't watch it. It's not a bad broadcast actually and the team aspect is much better than I originally expected. The music in the background is very annoying though.

At the same time, they are taking all of the big names from the PGA tour making it a lackluster watch as well.


Golf is better for the fans when all of the best players are playing on the same tour obviously. But...

The PGA Tour only has themselves to blame. They were cheap asshats and didn't pay their players properly and guys got sick of it. Granted, they were already pretty wealthy so it's hard to feel too sorry for them but hey, you don't pay the people that make your sport what it is enough, don't be surprised when they leave for more money.

i learned more about LIV than I care to just now

LIV team captains get equity in each team. Each player has a salery as well

gooch, who no one wants to watch, won LIV last year and probably wants more money/equity

brooks traded him instead

Dan called Brooks cheap

brooks called dan cheap for allegedly shorting a wedding vendor

Since dan is Jewish, this is a hate crime

I think that the LIV product is boring, however I think that this falls on the PGA. They had so much time to get ahead of this. They had so many different ways to fix the issues and the concerns before this happened.

The timeline of everything is interesting to look at. The PGA simply felt entitled and didnt think another group could do what LIV has done.

If you simply look at the two leagues, LIV is so much more player friendly it hurts. I think that Rahm was a major domino to fall. Now more PGA guys have to be taking a hard look at LIV.

Wait, you have that completely backwards. Brooks got Wolff, the league winner, by trading away one of the worst players in the league

I'm not defending how the PGA has handles things in the lead up to LIV and since, because they definitely tripped over themselves left and right.

But, I'm not sure it would've been any different even if they handled everything perfectly. Because at the end of the day, LIV still has endless amount of frick you money. If it was solely down to "everyone having a price", which a lot of the golfers who did switch to LIV made it abundantly clear, then LIV was always going to poach guys because the PGA never would've been able to come close to matching that guaranteed money. And even if they did, LIV would've just kept upping their offers until they got who they wanted.

This part is backwards. Brooks traded away Wolff for Gooch. Nothing bad was said about Brooks. Hell he won the trade easily.

no gooch won last year. Wolff was 27th. How is this a bad deal? idk this all seems like LIV followed NBA twitter and needed to drum up some drama.
