That's my opinion too. I like the buildup and the drama.

And they try to show most of the field, not a few guys near the top.


I thought we hated when they showed guys who were irrelevant to the top of the tournament

The brand always matters. LIV made that propriety one when they began their poaching and it was brilliant. There are guys who get the camera even when they are 10 shots back. Tiger, Phil, Bryson, Brooks, Jon, Cam, etc, are just some of the brands that the public demands.

There is a reason that the Golf Channel is crapping themselves today.

When you show good shots from the other guys. Not every shot

Any rumors yet of who he will get to round out his team? Him leaving sucks for the PGA tour but if LIV pulls 3 fairly big names would really add insult to injury.

I think that eventually their product will change. They came out as edgy in order to differentiate themselves from the PGA. Once the PGA is dead they can assume the PGA’s role.

For the record, I don’t like what is happening, but it is what it is.

So best case for the fans is they simply end up doing the exact same thing the pga was already doing, but now only 6-8 events will be in America. So I ask, why on gods green earth would any American golf fan like this? The players? Of course. Fans in other countries? Sure I can see it. The American golf fan? There is nothing positive that can result from this

I don’t like it. It doesn’t matter though. Money talks.
