Away from the actual golf - reality is starting to dawn for the PGAT - they need those players that have left back in some capacity...
The PGAT Enterprises board was announced this week of course, Jay remains as CEO, Tiger is Vice Chairman - no chairman announced as yet but there are rumours that the board can be expanded if PIF investment comes in - which clearly, the PGAT know they now need.
There's clearly still hope for a deal.

How do you know? The article doesn't mention any monetary value so we've got no idea if it's a big deal, a massive deal, a medium deal, a small deal or a totally insignificant deal.

Why did the internet turn so violently against Amber Heard?
The internet’s thoughts on the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial were inescapable in 2022. Now, a new podcast has discovered that at least 50 per cent of the conversation around Heard had been ‘inauthentically generated’, among a host of other revelations. Eloise Hendy meets its host

I did watch on YT last year.
Ive watched on the app and more recently the website so I can focus on watching certain groups exclusively.

I have absolutely no statistics to back this theory up - but is it me or is the standard of golf on LIV improved each year?
Some of the leaderboards have been crazy so far this season!

Is it due to improvement of field slowly?

Well it's definitely better than it was this time 2 years ago as far as I can see.

I don’t think you can argue anything other than the quality of their fields has improved, but that is made easier by having a small field and throwing billions of dollars at people for them to come and play.
TBH, I knew more players on the LIV leaderboard than the PGAT leaderboard this week. To be fair, that’s as much to do with knowing a lot of the older golfers, and I guess younger golfers might know more on the PGAT.
The scoring on LIV was excellent too. It had me looking at what course they were playing at and its length.

Has course set up changed at all?

I dont feel like they have? I know some places are easier than others across the tours though obviously but some whole tracks have changed too.
@Mel Smooth have we had many location changes this year so far? I know that LIV London is going to be moved from Centurion to JCB, my eye would suggest JCB is harder but I've no real idea?
They also have Valderama but I don't know if that replaces a different Spanish course?
Lots of don't knows.... On a less busy day I would do some research but I've only got 3 days in the office this week

So far this year we've had Mayakoba and Jeddah that were on last years schedule.
The courses that will be revisited again are Valderamma, Adelaide, Singapore, Greenbrier - and Miami - which is next up - it was the team championship event last year - I believe that will be in Dallas this year although it's not been announced yet.
Hard to say whether the set up of the courses used is making them more difficult to play - at the end of the day - LIV has a field with some serious quality in it, and it's hard to win an event - as we're seeing with Rahm who will be desperate to get a win in the bag. 3 rounds doesn't give you chance to have an off day - and so I'd imagine the players are pushing hard.
There were 2 holes in one yesterday, of course , and if you watch LIV you can see there is some quality golf being played.

Heres a direct comparison of Mayakoba - from what I have found, course played the same length but I could not comment on pin positions.

Generally, the field is scoring better in 2024 - although the winning score this year was 4 shots off last years!
