Can the PGA survive LIV?

There's something to that.
That said, I truly despise slow play. My scores can pretty much be charted based on the pace of play.
What kills me about it is that there actually are rules about slow play and they are almost never enforced.
Exactly. Except when they decide to nail a 14 year old rookie at the Masters.
Bradley is almost unwatchable on the greens.
Is he the one who takes the Aimpoint silliness to the extreme?
100% agree, coming off the "elevated WM Phoenix that had two huge stars battling it out on Sunday with all of its craziness already had the tour in the news. Then Tiger announces he is playing and the pairings release creates even more excitement. The last two weeks were handled very well by the tour and players.
I don’t know if anyone read the LIV complaint against the PGA Tour, but they admitted they have essentially zero revenue and can’t get major corporate sponsors.
One of them for sure. Plus he's the king of backing away from a putt several times.
Well, they do have a TV deal with CW network. Of course, LIV is not getting any rights fees and has to cover all the production costs, so don’t think that helps financially.
Does anyone know the history of Greg Norman and the PGA? I know there’s bad blood but I don’t remember why.
His putting turned to shit also. Hard to blame that on injuries..Koepka was fighting through a series of injuries at the time. Confidence is huge in golf.
David Duval is probably the best example of what can happen, and happen quickly. Koepka is a lot like Duval.
Mostly due to the fact he's a complete asshole. You can never go wrong buying that man a mirror for Christmas.
They stole his World match play idea. At least in his mind. He didn't get the credit financially or pr wise. He felt he deserved.
Greg had a television partner ( Fox) to start World Golf Tour - eight events elite players
this was during the when FTC was going after tour for antitrust over allowing players to play other tours.
Finchem got the FTC thing squashed, The World Golf Tour never happened , over the next few years the PGA had the Match Play , and in 99 The full WGC, Norman accused Fincem of stealing his idea
I agree. I will probably give the CW a glance next weekend just to hear the spin.
Holy cow - watching this Full Swing show and it seems pretty clear to me why Koepka isn’t winning these days. His wife seems high maintenance as hell.

I watched a few minutes and it had that Lake Tahoe celebrity tournament vibe.

LIV trying absolutely everything to increase ratings.
Today is hot girl on girl action.

Earlier today one of the announcers was doing a “shoey.”
Anything to take the focus off the golf, lol

Report: LIV Golf makes drastic changes to travel expense and team payout distribution
According to Alan Shipnuck of The Firepit Collective, executives at LIV Golf are making an effort to “rein in” Greg Norman. Related: David Feherty ridiculed for Greg Norman comment during LIV broadcast Shipnuck was at last week’s LIV Golf 2023 debut in Mexico, where “The Shark” didn’t speak to...

Norman sounds increasingly bitter and frazzled. Maybe he’s worried MBS is going to have him chopped up and dropped into a drum of acid.Report: LIV Golf makes drastic changes to travel expense and team payout distribution

I watched about 10 minutes of it and saw hardly any golf. They were pushing the whole "teams" thing and creating rivalries schtick. It's almost like they're trying to do a low key pseudo WWE wrestling thing, which is just a total turn-off for the normal golf fan.
Total XFL feel, who cares.
Yep. The entire business model is premised on features nobody asked for and, based upon the TV ratings, nobody actually wants.
I never felt like the LIV was going to be a serious threat, but it appears to be dying faster than I had hoped.
Watched quite a bit on Sunday, was pretty good to see players I knew even though most are past their prime other than Cameron Smith. Watched some of the PGA event, disappointing that I didn't know anyone in the top 10. Good tournament though, it was good to hear that they are trying to get more players in the top 20 or so in the PGA to play more events. Looking forward to that.
The stakes just aren’t there. Charles Howell got richer. The Crushers all got paid for his play even though DeChambeau played like crap.
The Honda ended with a 34 year-old journeyman golfer who had a 50 foot up and down to automatically qualify for every tournament he’s ever dreamed of.
Didn't know anybody in the Top 10? So you never heard of Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka, or Justin Suh? Do you watch golf? Also had Zach Johnson in the field.
Seems they’re just making it so the top players can play just the designated events and majors and if the money is much greater and there are no cuts, there’s no need for them to play any other tournaments. I think this will further sacrifice the non-designated events, which is unfortunate. Almost like a major league vs. AAA-type set up.
