LIV Golf

[ColchesterFC]

There's plenty on my feeds but I do follow a few of the teams and LIV golf on twitter and a lot of the posts come from them.

There's certainly less media outlets reporting on it though I feel!

I follow a few of the players but not the teams or LIV golf itself but on the "For You" feed on Twitter there seems to be a lot less chat about it.

There probably is to be honest! As I said, really not many articles from the main golf journalists which would lead to talk on twitter etc.

Certainly lost the "buzz" from being a new tournament and now needs to establish itself as relevant!

I've not seen any of it. That's not a dig at LIV, I'm offshore and had no access to the coverage. But one thing I have noticed is that social media has seemed to be a lot quieter. Last year I was seeing loads of posts about LIV on Twitter and Facebook but for the most recent event I've hardly seen any. Has anyone else noticed this or has something changed on my feeds?

The teams are now responsible for their own Social media, so there will be less coming directly from LIV - if you follow a few of the teams accounts, there’s still plenty of output.

The initial buzz about it all has died down now, it’s just a regular golf event now and most aren’t really bothered by it

Social media feeds are very quiet about it , didn’t even realise there was an event until saw a post last night.

It was new and shiny and exciting for some - now it will be just a bit boring like all the other non major events.

still think it will last 3 years and just stop

I'll be honest I didn't even realise there was a tournament this weekend just gone. It certainly didn't feel as pushed as the other tournaments to date. I must have notifications turned off for the app as well as I would have thought that would try and notify me that play was starting etc.

Having said that I didn't watch much of the pga tour either.

How long will you post about it though Phil, that’s the real question?

He's providing a service! We wouldn't know LIV existed unless he and Mel were arguing about it!!

To be fair, Mel's been pretty quiet recently

Enjoyed both PGAT and Liv this weekend.

Both had winners you wouldn't have predicted going into the final round.

Liv needs a UK TV deal ASAP - Watching on my phone isnt ideal but did allow to watch both concurrently.

If you have a smart tv or firestick, you can download the LIV+ app and still watch on tv.

Split my viewing between the fire stick, laptop and phone. Agree a tv deal would be really helpful to them though - it looks like those watching on the CW in the states are pretty happy with the coverage, but the app is a bit of a faff, compared to the ease of You Tube.

Is that until they cut of the golf and went to Family Guy

Have I got this right, people follow golfers on Twitter and social media and the like?

People even follow Gary Lineker…

Actually we better not go there.

I’m stupid, didn’t even think to install it onto my firestick

I bought a couple of chrome casts ages ago to be able to stream media from my phone to the TV

Works great of that

Checked in on the app on Sunday to see who was winning and how some of the big names performed.

Smith was doing poorly and bryson was stinking the place up.

Could not bring myself to watch any or it. The whole presentation and commentary is too much for me to stomach.

Better not indeed. If Gary got going on Saudi Arabia and migrants they might do more than ask him to step back...

Didnt know LIV had an exhibition on this weekend at all. Mainstream sports media just not reporting on it. Their relegation of it to non-sport does surprise me a little. I had thought they would give it a little more prominence even for a year or two. Its closed circle of social media followers/bots is not really going to sustain it.

The algorithms haven't sent it my way on YouTube/Twitter either.
I didn't know there was an event, no idea of the course being played or who won.

Mainstream media doesn't pick it up whatsoever but more notably - no one is talking about it. None of my playing partners over the weekend (the PGA Tour was discussed), none of my normal playing partners ever talk about it and no one talks about it on social media?

Not sure what you consider mainstream sports media, but LIV was widely covered. Also, Lee's win was one of the top stories (and the only golf one) on BBC Sport most of the day - and it was even covered by Sky Sports.
