No, YouTube is a worldwide product.
Apparently the kids are all watching it instead of telly.

In star studded events?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using YouTube as a streaming service, but it will go to a broadcaster, there's absolutely no doubt about that.

Everywhere buddy, I watched it while fitting a shower screen in Cabo Roig, Spain. Just needed my phone and a 3G connection.

Thought you’d have been at the event, being on the payroll and all.

I know, gutted I couldn't make it. Greg offered me a spot in Club 54 - gratis, but I just had to get that shower screen installed instead.

That wasn't the question. It was, is youtube the only medium world wide or has it some traditional channels in the USA or elsewhere in the world ?

No the question was ..."Isn't it only on the YouTube in the UK? Who had it in the USA?", and I answered "everywhere".
It was on You Tube everywhere, or Facebook, or the Liv website. That's the answer to any questions as to how it was broadcast.

What I find strange is all companies have refused it thus far but are fine to broadcast any of the following
DP world tour in Saudi
F1 including Saudi
Boxing In Saudi
WWE in Saudi
But aren't happy to broadcast an event in England

Have they refused it? I'm sure Norman has said somewhere that he has 9 parties interested in either direct broadcasting or over the top coverage, but I might be wrong.
The commentary team were making a solid point about it being on You Tube today, maybe that's just part of the strategy. The guys paying for Sky, or the Golf channel etc will feel loyal to the PGA tour, because they are effectively in bed with them. I think we can see that resonating on here tbh.

I presume Sky are worried about upsetting the PGA, and the PGA refusing to sell their rights to them in future? Or, maybe there is something in their contract with the PGA to not have any conflicting interests?
Not sure about other broadcasters though? For example, could BT not have asked to show it? Or any freeview channel, with LIV Tour still offering to show it on youtube to get it off the ground.
To be honest, I'm not sure if it has all been a bit rushed, and maybe the speed of it has even surprised the organisers? The website is poor, I'd have thought there would be live leaderboards and all sorts of other content. Is there an App? If it takes off and fans are interested, the broadcasting companies will definitely get more interested.

Genuine question, where can you check the leaderboard? Nothing on the LIV Golf website, whatsoever, nothing on BBC or skysports either.

No idea, but they did say they’d be doing things differently…although not publicising the results is pushing it a bit.
