LIV Golf

[PNWokingham]

Politics was banned because certain people couldn't discuss it sensibly, so everyone suffered; lots of people managed perfectly well.

Why should the subject under discussion be banned rather than the cause of the problem?

agree with this Rich. Don't ban the subject, bring back politics so it stops all the worry about "crossing the line" that is constantly there on many topics in Out of Bounds, where many subjects are hard to discuss without some politcal edge at very least. Just ban the people who ruin the topic

If you are correct, 584 posts out of a total of 1,150 is over 50% of his total posts on this site are in that one thread.

That's pretty dedicated for someone who's not on the LIV payroll...

I just did a sample of my recent posting. It's getting near the same percentage as above - and this post adds another one!
I'm certainly not on either LIV or PGAT payroll, unfortunately, but LIV is THE HOT TOPIC in Golf currently - maybe tempered slightly for a few days from tomorrow unless LIV makes early announcement of the latest converts for this year. So many and strong views should be expected!
Let the Mods apply the rules according to their guidelines and debate the post, not the poster is my view 99% of the time!

Im surprised this thread hasn’t had any updates this afternoon, what with Monaghan’s letter..

I’ve read that PIP is growing to $100 million…?! Is this correct?

If it is then the PGA Tour under Monaghan is totally fraudulent and beyond a joke, despite all the PR guff of what it’s purporting to be

Just another poor case of rich golfers getting richer - it adds nothing to the game

As anyone actually made any new points recently?
Or just going around in circles?
Seems people are just obsessed with anything LIV golf related & it’s become part of their daily routine to waffle on about it on social media because they e nothing better to do.
Twitter is full of it.

Looks like the PGA’s version of T20 ?

Monday nights - bit of golf in a stadium

But then it isnt meant to add anything. It about increasing turnover and revenue for the best 50 golfers in the world. The game of golf is not a factor in this business contest. It is in the safe hands of the golfers of the world and the amateur associations.

It looks as much of a nonsense as the team element of the Saudi Tour. Looks like Rory and Tiger have lost their minds.

Hence why i said it’s just about rich golfers getting richer ?‍

Looks a touch different as it’s more about skills or long drives etc - a bit like top golf and players getting points - but guess will know more soon enough

It has shades of something the European Tour were doing at a few venues - Vernon Kay hosted it I beleive, target golf, usually in the docklands or somewhere similar.
Can't remember what it was called, but at the time it did seem a little contrived.

I suspect this will have more gravitas because of the people behind it.

That was the hero challenge they used to play before before ET events in the UK

LIV tour handing out money for commitment to events, pga handing out money for commitment to events. Also note that the 'Top 20' isnt the owgr top twenty, or the money list top 20 or even the fedex top 20. But its the PIP top 20!!!

At this point LIV is looking more like the meritocracy!!

Got to feel like the DP tour is the biggest loser, now kft tour players can be considered in the minimum earnings clause....

The concensus of opinion over on twitter is that the DP Tour has been demoted into 5th place in terms of importance/appeal.

I would like to be a fly on the walls at Wentworth (if that still is their HQ?)

I wonder if ‘everyone’ at the DP World Tour think that Keith Pelley has played this well…?!

 

[sweaty sock]

1. PGA
2. LIV
3. KFT
4. ASIA
5. DP

I could argue anywhere from 3 - 5. Not long ago it was a very clear second though!

I doubt many of the players do, maybe the odd few who believe in the pathway to the PGA Tour, but there just isn't commercial space in the market for it to appeal in it's current guise.
