    GPS (which one)

    LIV Golf

    I have no issues with any golfer who wants to go and join the Liv tour (I personally don't like it and won't watch it, but that's up to me), but please be honest about why you're going. You're going for the money. If it was about playing less golf, you wouldn't be going to court to try and play...
