but on Liv they have more freedom of choice (opposed to a tour that bans)
You do realise that they have to sign up to play all the LIV matches. They can't pick and choose. Not much flexibility really.

I think if Rory Rahm JT Spieth Scheffler Hovland Smith or Morikawa jumped ship then it’d be catastrophic they’re the golden children of the pga tour currently
The leaders are grouped from starting on 16-18 and 1-3 to try to get the winner near to home vs out in the country.@Imurg I heard something about getting themsleves in last group
Sounds like the leaders will start on 1, the next on 2 and so on
That's why they sync with the ET tour play that for pointsTo me it's like 20/20 cricket. It's all a bit meaningless. Three rounds is different but I'm not sure how you can expect ranking points when there's 18 holes less to play. It's apples and oranges.
Gave it a watch today and really dire stuff. So many of the field over par, lacking quality and just a terrible advert for golf. If the future of golf is a load of has beens hacking it around an average golf course, watched by nobody but those on freebies and 60k on YouTube the game is finished.
Golf isn't a team sport apart from once every two years. Just look at the names of these teams....cringeworthy. A lot of players have tarnished their reputatation forever this week, especially G-Mac, Poulter and Westwood.
Regarding team names, it is a bit like when I need to pick a fantasy football team name. I get round to creating a team and it suddenly gives me an option to pick a name. I panic, and with no real thought come up with something garbage, cos I can't be arsed thinking about it. Something like LoadsOfGoals Utd.Gave it a watch today and really dire stuff.

I'm not overly convinced they were being beaten up by the course. They just aren't as good. If the worlds top 48 players were all playing, I'm sure we'd have seem lots of good scores. Probably wouldn't even be talking about any of the players over par at this stage, apart from if they were fighting to make the cut.But people moan about golf being too early and super low scores? So when the players are being beaten up by the course it's borin?
What happens to ranking points if a competition is shortened due to bad weather?To me it's like 20/20 cricket. It's all a bit meaningless. Three rounds is different but I'm not sure how you can expect ranking points when there's 18 holes less to play. It's apples and oranges.

It was tough out there - a strong wind and they reduced par by 2. The rough was penal so easy to drop shots.I'm not overly convinced they were being beaten up by the course. They just aren't as good.

Eh?Well I’ve been on the course all afternoon…anyone creamed themselves to death over the latest LIV news?

Not saying it was easy, but still doesn't get rid of the fact the quality of the field was nowhere near what you'd normally expect to see on the PGA.It was tough out there - a strong wind and they reduced par by 2. The rough was penal so easy to drop shots.
yeah they need to cut the field halfway through to avoid watching the out of form hack it aboutGave it a watch today and really dire stuff.
