It's been good for player pocketbooks, but forgive me if I don't poke anyone in the eye with my LIV pompoms for fractured fields and ultimately seeing name players play less golf. I'll leave that to you

On LIV and Koepka's drop in the world rankings:

The world rankings are **** now. They mean absolutely nothing. Using them to formulate an argument against LIV players is worthless.

Again...fat Pat just showed up to Dubai or wherever the **** and went toe to toe with Rory. Cam won the open last year. We'll see how the majors shake out this year but I'm betting a lot of LIV guys will do fairly well.


Why are the world ranking worthless? The LIV guys aren't playing 72 hole events. They are playing against small fields (which generally aren't very good even if you included their prior world ranking status), and they are playing without a cut. They aren't meeting the standards for similar competition around the world.

Should we also award world ranking points if Bryson beats Tom Brady in some version of The Match? What about if I beat my buddies in my Saturday morning 2 man best ball?

LIV might get a few people to watch … it seems like you are one of those. But they aren't getting the average new fan to watch, and if they can't get a golf fanatic like myself to watch, I just don't understand how they survive long-term.
Hmmmm...........

"Ah, yes, the cut has become a hot topic in recent months. It's officially been placed on the Endangered List as the PGA Tour looks to make its product as entertaining as possible as it wards off an existential threat in LIV Golf.

One of the options apparently being considered is to eliminate the 36-hole cut for the top 65 and ties at some of the Tour's $20 million designated events."

Not really sure what they're going for with their marketing strategy. That video was cringey.

I doubt that the "young golf fan" will be attracted to this. The flash and gimmicks might attract fans at first for the novelty, but if the golf isn't good or even close to the PGAT they might have a hard time getting people to stick.

The events are probably pretty fun in person, but the entire thing just feels so forced at trying to seem "cool".

I wish they could get the manufacturers on board and do an F1 style team. Something where you have to play a full set and balls from whatever manufacturer you sign with. At the end of the season, you have Callaway, TaylorMade, and Titlist going head to head with their top four players while PXG, Mizuno, and Cobra are fighting it out. After the season, TaylorMade wins the manufacturers cup, but their top player gets poached by Titlist because they want to play with vokeys and ProV1s. I'd watch the hell out of that.
