Remember last week when everyone thought LIV was going to cancel their Mexico City event? & then the rest of the 2026 season? & then 2027?

It seems they will try to continue in 2027



I would certainly be feeling good about a league making... *check notes*... Taylor Gooch one of the centerpieces of their global league.

Jason Kokrak from Canada


I’m about 95% sure Jason Kokrak is from Northeast Ohio.

If Spieth, Burns Zalatoris and Scottie put a Dallas team together. They would be the most unstoppable team in TGL or LIV

It's like when the USFL had cities attached to the teams but all the games were in Birmingham. What's the point?

the top players aren't gonna stay in a defunded LIV
Dechambeau and Rahm are gonna leave at some point

you definitely knew there was more to the story when Reed and Koepka left when they did

He grew up in Ohio, but his mother is Canadian, and he was born in Canada.

They are going to bail as soon as their first contract is fulfilled.

Ok Jim. O neil verbatim said their focus would no longer be America and it would be the global market. Point blank said that

One of their first moves post that is to rebrand a team to a rural non major us market.

This is actually what he said verbatim unless you have a different link.

quote:

I'm American. I love the US market. It's the number one TV market in the world, period, in a sense. The number one sponsorship market in the world, period, in a sense. In golf, in sport.

“But long term. Do you want to bet on 340 million people or 7.5 billion people? That's all I'm saying. That's the only difference is I'm taking a 7.5 billion person bet. And that's something we should be excited about. Because golf should be seen around the world with some of the biggest stars in the game. And that's what we're doing.”

He didn’t say anything about not focusing on the American market, he was just emphasizing that they are a global tour & focused on numbers globally.

So in making the bet on the global market as he says, the first move on making that bet is to rebrand to a US state for one of the teams?

Global includes the US man but go ahead & get your laughs in.

Is LIV Nola still in doubt?

The most hardcore liv bots on Twitter are saying this rebrand is absolutely stupid as hell

You are now more whimsical than they are

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, good or bad. Twitter isn’t real life

According to local news, yes Nola.com

PGA tour even buying off Nola news papers and Louisiana workers in charge of development. Crazy

quote:

But now, the New Orleans LIV tourney is in doubt. Several reports in recent days speculated that a shutdown of the tour could be imminent, though LIV leaders pushed back on that idea, saying the season would go ahead “at full throttle.” Regardless, the uncertainty is bad for the state. Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan Bourgeois told this newspaper on Thursday that she had requested a “candid conversation” with LIV officials by Monday. She is absolutely right to do so. And if the tournament is canceled or pared back somehow, the state absolutely should do what it can to recoup the “hosting fee,” about $1 million of which has been paid.
