Rory's making a lot of sense recently since accepting Liv is part of the sport now

With the time difference between the Middle East and the east coast of America I'm surprised LIV haven't considered hosting a night event anywhere.
There are courses set up for night golf that could surely be bolstered with extra floodlights if required for the event and would be great for TV in my eyes as you can really see the ballflights etc.
An event starting at 6pm in Turkey or Dubai would be 9am on the East Coast of the USA, so not unlike the current golf there and the shotgun start etc would lend itself to being finished by midnight for the after party
.
Would be hard for spectators at the course but hey, no one goes to them anyway.

Interesting read here, and there’s a few on this platform that possibly fit this extracted description..
“For those who don’t see the world of golf through PGA Tour-tinted spectacles – and goodness knows there are plenty who can’t see beyond PGA Tour hegemony – a world tour makes perfect sense.”

Can Pelley Secure His Golfing Legacy?
You have to wonder when Keith Pelley’s Road to Damascus moment occurred. That’s one thought after reading the outgoing European Tour chief executive’s comments in Dubai this week.“What I would like to see is the game becoming unified with a global strategy,” Pelley said. “The growth of the game...

Quarter of a million views in just over half a day Steve, that's people that are choosing to watch it - rather than being forced to watched adverts about men who can't get an erection, on the DPWT coverage this morning.
I'd imagine the 'cost' of that YouTube video to LIV was comparative pennies as well.

I’m not doubting the cost to LIV for the video
The channel has 10 million subscribers, so right now I’m not sure shouting about it having 250k views is something to be proud of, likely about the standard hit rate. Will be interesting to see in a week how many views it has…..as the saying goes, time will tell.

Wonder if this is what Rahm envisaged when he signed
Looks like he will end up with some relative unknowns for teammates, probably got to be viewed as a disappointment and hard to see whats going to change in regards media and sponsorship deals for the tour

I suppose that, like Rahm, they could be lying about not going

Good idea. Say no a few times and the money goes up, and up and up

Or say that £400mil won’t change your life and you don’t need it - that way you get offered more

It’s not about the money, it’s about growing the game be it football or golf.

As we know a golf will look you in the face and lie through his teeth. About February 1st a golfer will give a press conference announcing his jump to LIV. Stating something about feeding his family blah, blah, blah.

The OWGR situation for qualifying for majors is the main thing protecting the PGAT right now.
Wyndham Clark is the only player that has been rumoured who has protection in the majors.
If your going to sign for big money you're looking at a 4-5 year deal so your going to need a pathway to the majors.
Jon Rahm is gold in the majors for 5 years and his contract is till 2029 so a no brainier to take the 400, 500, 600 million.

The only thing attracting golfers to LIV is the level of money that’s been offered to players
It’s needed amounts of £400mil plus to persuade Rahm to play on LIV - what does that say about the tour , doesn’t say much about the product on offer when someone who doesn’t have to worry about entry into majors has to be paid that level of money to play on it.
Does it not say that the product is awful - which is of course close to what Rahm himself said about it

Of course, no appearance money will have exchanged hands over the weekend for the event out in Dubai....

Standard of the PGA tour has really fallen - amateurs winning the tournaments now.
