Rick Shiels, biggest influencer in golf has made a vid today about Koepka.

Read the comments and tell me I'm wrong...

Where/how is that ranking documented?
Not contradicting you; simply looking for authoratative confirmation - as, to me, he doesn't seem to be an 'influencer' at all - at least not as I understand the term. His attitude to Nike suggest similar.

As I predicted in post 1116
20 million per event,certainly didn’t take long.
There not worried though because the players are loyal to the tour.
If that was the case why do anything.
I hope it filters down more to the lesser known players.

Won't this potentially step all over the DP world tour?

Do you think Monahan really cares?
His absolute focus is 'what benefits/challenges The PGA Tour'

As it should be. He may see the benefit of closer union with Europe, though, both to give more opportunities for up and coming players, the odd big payday for bigger names, and to push out LIV. The World Tour makes a lot of sense. 12 or 14 top US events, 7 or 8 top European Tour events (PGA, Irish, Scottish, British Masters, Dubai, Spanish Open, European Open, 1 in Scandinavia), 1 or 2 in Oz, 1 in ZA (or not given the enthusiasm of ZA players for LIV) .....

Maybe something similar between Challenge and Korn Ferry Tours too.

A podcast now
Second channel (155k subscription)

His videos get 500k views on average it seems (quick glance)

Started from just being an average pga pro

Makes a good wage off it

And was on talksport earlier with his charity walk

So he is not a big influencer? Pray tell why?
I don't believe he really attempts to 'influence'! Certainly not in the way of traditional 'influencers'.

The game changers for LIV - IMHO - are Tiger and Rory. They're the only two I would say who are the current truly global golf stars who most non-golfers would recognise (if that's the audience LIV are trying to get to).

Not Brooks, not Bryson, not DJ. Phil possibly but he's pretty much irrelevant now I'm terms of competing at the very highest level.

The NLU account is absolutely anti-LIV - as are most of them with blue ticks - you can't possibly take the reactions to their views as "general"

So you are dismissing any account with a blue tick. The blue ticks are the accounts with have been verified as authentic, notable and active - i.e. popular and reputable. You choose to rely on random trolls and spam accounts for your views?

I got an email today from DP World Tour, announcing Jax Jones as the headline act at the PGA Championship concert this year. Looks like they are trying to get down with the kids too. :ROFLMAO:

Got that too. Asked the kids who this was, they didn't know either.

If they bring in Arcade Fire or The National, I'm there, but the kids won't be. I remember the says when Jimmy Tarbuck was the golf event's entertainment of choice.
