Throwing bottles, food, and trash on the greens/course, streakers left and right.

WM has devolved into a shite show. Everyone here hates on LIV for not wearing pants and the loud leaderboard (and don’t even watch), but at the same time will cheer on the debauchery in Scottsdale.

An absolute shite show.

The raucous crowd used to be kinda cool and different, but now it's just cheesy and played out...

Drunk Fratboy golf. It sucks. Of course NBC has to play it up.

The tv product is garbage. Not showing much actual golf.

So the super fun drunk golf model LIV is trying to emulate is trashy?

It’s a little over the top for a tour stop but I am quite positive I would have a different opinion if I was there in person.

On a slight hijack, what’s the deal with everyone wearing these hoodies? That shite looks like something you would wear to the gym, not a golf course.

Watching it now and the 16th hole is all NBC is showing. Who wants to watch the tail end of the pack play in front of a bunch of drunks for the whole broadcast?

Smylie on commentary is the trashiest part.

I just got
Back from 16th green suite. It was on my bucket list. I give it a b- c+
$1,800 for loge tickets it was ok. Golf is much much much better on TV.

Well yeah. It’s always been a bad spectator sport. Nothing can be done to fix that though when you can only watch 1 of 18 holes at a time

Is it true they stopped selling beer because the crowd got too wild?

Why not? Def not my cup of tea, but it’s once a year I can deal with it. And any liv bot trying to talk down about it is ultimate lol worthy. LIV tried its arse off to make some
Vegas hole like this and it apparently bombed. Livs entire premise is to make EVERY tournament like this. Golf, but LOUDER right? They have their CEO pouring beer in fans mouths

Australia event seemed similar though and pretty fun last year on liv and it was their crown jewel. So I will be honest, seems strange for even LIV bots to take this angle.

What's wrong with the hoodie?? I bought a couple FootJoy hoodies in December and I have worn them them a lot this past couple months.. I don't have to layer as much stay warm and feel like I'm not overly restricted in my swing..

I think what frustrates people like me, is that most PGA Tour (golf) fans will complain about aspects of the broadcast, or even the broadcast in general. LIV fans for the most part refuse to criticize anything at all about the product. They just need to tell you how great everything is or come up with an excuse for why something is the way it is. It’s ok to want certain things to be better than they currently are.
