Do you think if an agreement could be made where any player (Rory, Xander, Rahm, Scottie etc) could play a limited number of LIV events, that LIV wouldn’t accommodate them.

Of course they would.

Of course they would accommodate them. Any of the other minor tours would do the same.

Why don’t you check out some of the LIV statements from when the series launched, it’s got nothing to do with who they have or haven’t recruited.

They repeatedly said they wanted to fit into the ‘golfing ecosystem’ well documented, Norman was repeatedly quoted as saying players should be able to play where they want. It’s really not hard to find that information.

Funny that, given the big song and dance they, and their fans, make every time there is a rumour of a big player signing for them, let alone actual confirmation. Also funny they are prepared to give ridiculous sums of money to top players, when it isn't about who they have recruited. And then we hear LIV fans continually try and tell us the quality in the LIV fields, and how poor most standard PGAT events in terms of quality.

Again, it does sort of seem like you pick and choose your argument simply based on what suits at any given time. Sometimes the quality of players is absolutely paramount, than at other times it is not important in the slightest.

Why would LIV do that when they have players on contracts ? What do you think the likes of Cam Smith and Co would think ?

But then why would the likes of Rory want to play on the event ? There is no prestige with them

He plays in the big ET events ?‍♂️ - the ones with prestige

If he was only about the money he would get a multi million dollar deal with LIV ?‍♂️

Ok Phil.

Rory can earn more on the PGA tour than he does with LIV, he’s a paid mouthpiece for Jay Monahan. He doesn’t even turn up for his own Open. The guy is all about the money.

Compare him with Jon Rahm, there is a stark difference in their allegiances to where they play, and what they play for.

Yes Rory “earns” his money on the PGAT for his performances on the course

There is no doubt that LIV would treble what he could earn if they could get him

He is positive about the PGA because it’s a tour that’s given him the platform to showcase his skills and has enabled him to win multiple majors

And as for “doesn’t even turn up for his own Open” - the guy hosted it multiple times even winning it recently and helped ensure it kept going , you are just following the lazy Twitterati without doing research . He will be back playing there next season

“
McIlroy helped to resuscitate the fortunes of the Irish Open by hosting the tournament from 2015 to 2018, including a winning performance at the K Club in 2016, but its place in the calendar between two majors means it doesn't suit his schedule this year.”


https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sp...h-open-return-at-k-club-in-2023-41815401.html


I’ll play the Irish Open next year,” McIlroy said at the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor. "This year it was just going to be hard for me because I had already committed to four in a row in the States and then knowing that I was playing in this event.

So that was my attitude this year. But next year I’m not going to do that four in a row stretch in June. So I will have a week off after the U.S. Open most likely and then I’ll come back and play at The K Club. That’s the plan.”

So, just to remind me, what was the win-win situation. I may be wrong, I thought you were trying to say the presence of LIV has created a win-win situation due to the "quality" field playing in Oz. Now you are saying Cameron Smith always played in Oz anyway? Is it the other players you meant, like Howell and Ogilvy?

Was just trying to support your point. Have the LiV bots got in your head?

Haha, they must have done. I thought you were AussieKB. I must have reacted quickly to the green profile image, rather than read the name. I might have also been wrongly getting excited about the Wales game in the World Cup at that time.

For Europeans, the best place for all top golf to be played is in the US. Prime time evening TV. When it is anywhere else, it suits far few to see it.
The number of people at a tournament is miniscule compared to the TV audience, which is the one that matters.

Spoken like a true cuckold of the US of A

Why not have golfers eat a cheeseburger whilst they ‘take the knee’ before they ‘tee it up’ too?

Most europeans would have to stay up until Monday morning to watch any US based golf tournament to it's conclusion. If you're retired, no problem, if you work and have kids, then they are at a terrible time for a TV audience.
