LIV Golf

[Lord Tyrion]

Do you think the beeb would turn down free content?

I'm not sure but I don't think golf holds any interest for them or their schedule so I genuinely expect they would.

 

[PJ87]

No. Otherwise I’d watch some before the pga event starts??‍

Does your TV not have apps? In 2022?? Or the ability to cast from your phone to the TV?

Is it colour?

It’s a tv which works…there has been no reason to replace it.
I have to watch sport and little else.

I added this afters

These add so many apps to your TV .. slots in the hdmi .. YouTube. Netflix

What sky box do you have? If you have sky q it's on there I believe

McIlroy, Finau, Thomas and Burns top 4 in the Canadian Open as I write. Fine golfers in their prime. That's what I want to see, not some hyped up tournament offering little but a shed load of dodgy cash.

My opinion of course. Hopefully one to which I am entitled, living as I do in England, not Saudi Arabia.

I watched some of it on YouTube. Out of curiosity. It was awful, unwatchable rubbish. The commentary was terrible, the presentation worse. Maybe they should have spent more of the budget on the package. It’s a sideshow, and not a very interesting one at that

Are you English? Because I'm afraid that was very much aimed at the Americans

It was like watching their sport coverage for basketball, NFL, baseball

Frankly I don’t have a clue about such things. Not my area of interest.
I watch what I can and don’t watch what I can’t .
Would rather be on the Course or in the bar.
TV is an added extra , not a necessity for me.

 

[Springveldt]

The team thing was a complete damp squib.

Quelle surprise

Not for the South Africans who pocketed $750K each.

 

[mikejohnchapman]

True, but that's not planned in advance. Should 3 rounds be worth less ranking points than 4?

Agreed - but there should be some for a 54 hole tournament.

The bbc have been anti LIV from the start, they’d rather burn in hell than show any of that content. Heck they aren’t even recognising it as a legitimate event on their website, no live coverage or leaderboard to be seen despite it being the biggest talking point in golf for a long time, only thing they have done is publish negative stories.

Not much different to Sky then

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/61771007

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf

They have plenty of reports and articles for it

Did anyone have a live leaderboard? There wasn’t even one on the LiV website

 

[AussieKB]

What surprises me is the amount of schadenfreude Americans especially have in the Saudis funneling billions into removing golf from their own country. Not that it shouldn't be as fixed as it is, but Twatter is full of flag flying, Americans actively wanting The PGA Tour to die on its arse. It's quite a thing to see. Too much Trump maybe? ?

It rained today on the course....I BLAME DONALD, get over it.

Poulter has earned $27m. It's a bit tiresome to keep hearing that they need the money. Not like they're queuing outside their local foodbank or wondering how to afford putting money in their electricity meter.

Such is the protected bubble of top tier pro golf.

So when you earn a certain amount you have to stop ?
why do top players like Tiger and Rory still demand appearance money then, seems you only want to see things from one side of the fence.

 

[AussieKB]

Its is a pitiful line many of them are trotting out. 'looking after my family' does sound good on the face of it. Of course we all sympathise with a father wanting to feed and clothe his kids. But these guys are multimillionaires already. Just say - 'I am very rich already, like it, and want even more money. These guys are offering bucket loads to me, so I signed.'.

So you would turn down more money to work somewhere else then ?

9/11 survivors group send letter to 11 US LIV Golfers

https://nypost.com/2022/06/11/phil-mickelson-other-liv-golf-players-ripped-by-9-11-group/

Did they send one to all who have played in Saudi the last 10 years ?

 

[AussieKB]

I haven't a clue if they do, I've zero interest in politics.
But I can understand if a family member was killed as a result of Saudi people you might have difficulty understanding how a fellow American citizen could join this tour

But no preoblem a golfer accepting a $1 million appearance money to play there....Tiger

Your choice....don't watch.
