LIV fans for the most part refuse to criticize anything at all about the product.

I mostly disagree with all of the normal complaints.
Don’t care about shotgun start, 54 holes, team names/logos, music, shorts

What else is there? I guess it would be easier to view if it was on a better channel than the CW

Yeah, it’s so distracting. Why don’t they just do it exactly like the PGA? God forbid they throw the LIV Line up on the screen

I watched my first LIV event over the weekend and was impressed. Not sure why all the bitches bitch so much. Great course condition, atmosphere, and very few commercials. Minimal sponsorship logos all over their clothes, etc.

Much better product than the PGA.

Its moreso the putting graphic that i dislike. It makes everything look more like a video game.

But i still watch it. I have never been a LIV hater. I just think they can improve their coverage.

Some of the posters on this board are the whiniest little bitches on this whole site. Half yall probably wear white belts and dont fix your pitch marks on the green.

Truth is LIV fans are just defensive because this is what they said their entire tour would be, and it has whiffed outside of the Australia event(which they praised the party.

Also, the classy CEO

Literally anything. Missing DJ’s drive on 18 was awful yesterday.

Su Ann and Dom are terrible.

Arlo’s good sometimes, but other times he’s like Steve Sands from NBC where he has to tell you how great everything is at LIV (sands does it with the PGA).

Their social media team is horrendous.

They limit their player access on non-LIV forums.

I’m sure a lot of it is working out the issues in their first few years, but it makes sense they have issues this early on. Not everything is going to be better than the PGA Tour already.

Video circulating of Zach Johnson bitching out some fans.

You know what you’re getting into with this tourney, but agree with most of yall that fans here have become the worst.

They think they can say whatever they want with no repercussions.

Sucks that Zach has to deal with that trash.

The WM has gone from a fun, raucous golf crowd to complete drunken debauchery. It’s what LIV wishes it could be. Which is a complete embarrassment to the game of golf.

Between the weather, shitty TV production/commentators and a-holes ruining the fan environment, I think LIV had a better tournament this weekend compared to the WM

Won’t show in the ratings or alcohol sales (lol) but, the WM was a mess this year and LIV Las Vegas was a quality tournament with a great final leaderboard. They’ve had two great tournaments to start the year

I downloaded the LIV app on AppleTV and it had zero commercials and it’s free.

Graphics don’t bother me but that could be from following F1 for years and their graphics being the same.

I feel like their putting line is always wrong.

Another vid of a patron heckling a monday qualifier during his swing and Billy Horschel tells the guy to pound sand.


Looking forward to the post-tournament sound bites from players.

Here's the Horschel sound bite. This is what happens when you get a bunch of drunk college kids with daddy's money and no supervision

Horschel and Johnson are both insufferable pussies. Both should cry together.

It’s definitely out of hand but don’t show up and be a bitch when you know what you’re getting into.

Only sport in the world where players get complete courtesy 99% of the time.

They can sack up and handle 1 weekend a year with that much money on the line.
