Of course I didn't. I don't tend to watch Mickey Mouse exhibition golf events to be honest.

Enjoyed what I saw of the tournament. Good leaderboard despite the shortening of event and good winner.

Only Rory could leave it short when to tie a playoff! I'm happy to knock one 10 feet past if it's for a 79 in the monthly medal! #neverupneverin

Very good golf from Shane and Rory
Good interview for Rory however a shame Shane had a couple poor comments.
Let’s put it down to him being emotional.

Think it should be 72 holes, but well done Shane Lowry.

I missed that from Shane. What did he say? Should I say. I watched him being interviewed but couldn't recall him saying anything untoward

it was Shane Lowry being himself - speaking from his heart as he always does

Speaking from the heart dissing fellow golfers before and after the event.
Yes that’s really going to help golf moving forward.

Really trying to make something out of nothing there.
Although the last question, they were definitely referencing the Queen right? Rather than the LIV v PGA "emotional" side of it...

Lowry is just saying exactly how it is - he is happy that someone who supports the ET won it and feels that is the best result - there was only a select few that wanted someone from LIV to win ( to make it all about them ) but for the sake of the ET Rahm then Lowry came through.
The good news is the next Event - The Italian open will have most of the top guys again so should be another great comp on next years Ryder Cup course
Congratulations to Shane, cracking win, first since the open I believe, so probably overdue.
Cracking rounds from Rahm and Reed, absolutely first class golf from them both, how they would of loved another 18.
Rory just not on it today (for his standards) and Hovland struggled off the tee.
Sky Sports atrocious in my opinion, if you pay £40 a month you would and should expect impartial coverage, whatever the DPWT and LIV issues are shouldn’t be taken to the screens when people are paying good money to see all involved.
Its clear from today and the positions over the tournament that there is world class golfers on all the tours (regardless of your allegiance).
Padraig got it right when he said the Majors need to be impartial, players on all the tours could still win Majors on any given week such is the standard.

Sorry but what did Skysports do ? Or in this case didn’t do ?
And wouldn’t Sky being looking to be on the same side of the court as PGAT and ET as those are the two tours that they are main broadcasters for in the UK ?
And the majors are impartial and appear at the moment to be staying out of it
Give it a rest, we you know you hate LIV, but try and have a bit of impartiality.
Sky coverage off the LiV players was shocking, that was clear.
Maybe sky are on the same side but by no means should their coverage reflect that, people who have no affiliation to any tour aren’t getting impartial coverage.
Don’t act the idiot, when it’s clear what’s happened over 3 days.
Some serious conversations need to take place and personnel from the governing bodies need to take responsibility and sort it out.

Sky showed most of the leaders today including when Reed and Gooch were doing well , no idea what happened Thursday but Pelly said they wouldn’t be in any featured groups etc and yesterday they focused on the main big group of Rory , Fitzpatrick etc
I did notice that the LIV players were still wearing there LiV branding even when asked not too - that’s not a clever move is it
Sky are a main broadcaster for the ET and PGAT - they pay a lot of money for that so they are going to not focus on a bunch of players who went to another tour
The feelings of the players and of the ET was made pretty clear when it comes to the LIV players - Lowry and Rahm summed it up well .
All this division has been created by LIV and the other tours are reacting to look after themselves and the broadcasters who support them
What is there to “sort out” - LIV tour is a separate entity from the others and it’s make up in every way is different. The ET and PGA aren’t going to sit down with them - that boat has gone now. It’s a shame that the main event on the ET was overshadowed but thankfully Lowry coming through at the end ensured it was just the stunning golf that will be talked about
Garbage on the first part, they hardly showed a shot in comparison to the rest, I had it on all day at work…
Sky might be a main broadcaster for the PGA and DPWT, but that doesn’t make it right.
They should be telling their paying customers what they plan to do and then let the customer decide if they want to keep on paying a subscription, it’s just not right and you know it as well but your being facetious for the sake of argument instead of looking at the bigger picture.
How did Rahm sum it up well?
He was for Westwood, Poulter, Garcia, Reed (to a point) teeing it up for everything they’ve done for the tour.
I sort of agree about Gooch as he’s never played before and probably wouldn’t of being on his radar in the past.

Maybe Sky thought the majority of their customers didn’t want to see the LiV players? I suspect they would be right.
Most LiV fans won’t have noticed anyway as they won’t have been watching with the coverage being behind behind a paywall.
