Thanks for the reminder. It's nice to have live golf on in the background in the office.
I didn't realize it was night golf.
This is pretty cool with all the graphics and lights on the lit course. The shot tracer is bad ass against the night sky.
And it's really great to hear Feherty!

Forgot that started today.
I read that all scores count every day for team play this year. Good change.

There's actually other live golf on now too.
Not that I want to watch.jja79 said:

At least until 3pm. Unless there's something other than the LPGA on that I'm not aware of.
PGA is on ESPN+ if you have that
I'm watching the WM.
it'll be a perfect set-up on Saturday...breakfast with LIV and moving day with the leaders at WM right after.
looks absolutely awesome. If they could find a way to do that in Houston (next time they return) and play at night my family would be there no doubt. It would be cooler temp wise, and my kids would love it.AgLA06 said:

I'm not paying extra for golf coverage. I have golf channel, ESPN, and the major channels.
I'd rather watch the entertaining things LIV is doing than jack with another subscription for the PGAT.
I'd rather watch tournament golf than and exhibition of no-names and has-beens.AgLA06 said:I don't.98Ag99Grad said:

Your comment is neither funny, nor factually correct. Well, I guess it's 50% correct. LIV does have a few has-been's, same difference as the PGAT have a field of 85 never were's.I Am A Critic said:I'd rather watch tournament golf than and exhibition of no-names and has-beens.AgLA06 said:I don't.98Ag99Grad said:

So how dark is it in other areas of the course? If they don't hit the fairway is it hard to find your ball?
plenty bright to find the balls that miss the fairway. It's a desert course so the only trees on it are palms. They don't have to worry about branch coverage blocking the lights.
I'm simply amazed at everyone that opens a "LIV Golf" thread, and then ****s on it and/or discusses the PGAT
But then again, this is Texags.

This probably isn't the thread for you then. I have no want to listen to another argument. I'm watching something fun and enjoyable for entertainment. And I appreciate LIV actually trying.I Am A Critic said:I'd rather watch tournament golf than and exhibition of no-names and has-beens.AgLA06 said:I don't.98Ag99Grad said:

Cam Smith shanked one waaayyy out into the sand and they found it earlier easily. I don't think it's as dark as it seems off the fairway. Just not as lit up as the holes.98Ag99Grad said:

It also allows them to do light shows / graphics, stuff with the darker backdrop.
They were just showing a dancing fountain with image projection and I actually LOLed when Feherty said. Wow that's cool.. Hope no one has epilepsy
I have ESPN+ To watch a lot of college basketball and baseball that can't be watched otherwise. The golf is a bonus.
Hoping IronHeads find the podium, they built a solid roster this year.
This McKibbin kid is pretty damn good.
Watched for 30 minutes before they switched to basketball. Where are the people? I've seen more people at East River 9. I don't think night golf on TV plays well. No skyline. I understand their why, just seems very meh.
And, no podium for IronHeads.

Paltry viewership aside - it’s so sad to me guys like Rahm, Cam, Joaco, etc… are playing the prime of their career in golf obscurity😔 pic.twitter.com/RYK1zwpfiH
Meronk choking down the stretch, munoz tied and multiple guys just a few back. I think the Torque colors and logo are my favorite of the various teams.
Meronk has a weird preshot routine. Don't know if I've ever seen a guy actually address the ball and take his swing to the top like that. Looks like he'll survive.
Well watching the WMPO now and Speith does the same thing. Interesting

Hong Kong starts tonight. 10pm central.
6700 yards, a true test
Self proclaimed best golfer in the world, Taylor Gooch, and DJ in the drop zone. Sergio to win the masters? Is Cam Smith the forgotten man. One of the biggest names in sports after St Andrew's, who I truly enjoyed watching golf, to completely irrelevant the last couple years. Bland and Dechambeau battling it out for a top 10 spot in the season standings. Smash GC in DFL, is Brooks cashed out? So many great stories this season so far.
LIV is a joke

Adding to LIV's woes, co-host of The Fried Egg Golf podcast, Andy Johnson, didn't mince words when he highlighted the enduring struggle of the new golf league to capture the attention of fans. Despite a massive investment of five billion dollars, Johnson emphasized that LIV Golf's product was largely irrelevant to the majority of golf enthusiasts.
Johnson's harsh critique was validated by disappointing TV ratings for LIV Golf. When the viewership numbers for one of LIV's U.S. broadcasts were revealed, the golf community was taken aback. The viewership was a meager 12,000, a figure Johnson described as "extraordinarily pathetic." This dismal performance was a far cry from what LIV had envisioned: a reinvigorated schedule, a prime-time slot for U.S. audiences, and another year filled with high-profile players.

The PIF, having invested billions into LIV Golf, finds itself in a predicament. Regardless of their financial commitment, without fan engagement, there's no sustainable future for the league. Hence, golfing insiders like McIlroy and Spieth no longer regard LIV as essential for the PGA Tour's success.
Splitting off has never worked in modern American sports. There's a reason no one has seriously tried it since the USFL 40 years ago. This thing never gaining traction with fans was as predictable as the sun rising.

Several of the defectors have 3-4 year deals that will be ending soon. The PGA would be wise just to wait it out
