“Rumours” are that fowler has a chunky offer but no indications as to whether he is tempted. Based on past years form it wouldn’t surprise me if he jumped for a big cheque.

Is that like all the other rumours, totally unsubstantiated?

Fowler should definitely go. He has slipped below PGAT level really at this stage and would be more comfortable at LiV level. Very much yesterdays man that never really was, so may as well cash in. He is the sort of player that the PGAT is probably happy enough to flush out, and reinforces the Saudi tour as a half way house, or younger mans champions tour. Could make himself a bit of a character, wearing the all orange attire for all 4, sorry, 3 days.

Talking of characters, any rumours of Beef going Saudi ? It could make itself a circus for mediocre ranking golfers, but ones who have a schtick going as part of the act. Sort of a golfing vaudeville.

Scott Vincent has sort of bucked the trend.
Mid may (before Centurion) ranked 147
Currently ranked 84
(Dropped a place at the weekend)

Would expect by his own admission hasn't play too well at the LIV events.

Do you mean "notoriety" rather than "popularity?"

What a humble individual he is.
Best thing about that is the replies.

According to the media source that posted it as part of an interview, it was quoted by him.

I won’t post the source as I’ve already had my cheeks slapped and the source conflicts with our lovely forum owners

H'mm. A bit misleading!
Ranked 91 the week before Centurion - thanks to a win in The International.
A 7th place in Japan PGA, part of the Asian tour, a couple of weeks ago helped too.
Does seem that playing well on Asian tour can keep some LIV players at a level where they can get into majors. Though it will depend on how many choose that route, as the more that do, the greater 'dilution' of points for LIV players as a group.

Isn't that the definition of a rumour?

A rumour can have a basis, or like most LIV stuff, just be made up by the LIV twitterati

Still unsubstantiated - whether based on logic/observation of simply lies!

As I've said before, so far the only player I'll really miss is Cam Smith. Also, it's sad to say but Rickie Fowler probably should go to LIV. He makes a small fortune off endorsements, but unless he starts playing better those will end soon.
I wonder what's happening on the TV deal front. I think Norman is pretty close to the Murdochs so I'll bet he's trying to get Fox to do it here in the US. However, they were terrible when they had the USGA contract. Do any of you think Sky Sports would consider it? Poor David Feherty doesn't have much to do until they get a contract.

Eddie Pepperell what a legend ???

Indeed, as the current Open champion Cam will be a similar, or even bigger coup as DJ was. I agree re Fowler. LIV works for those fading on PGAT but not old enough for Seniors.
The problem LIV will have with TV deals is that they tend to be done 2 years or more in advance. There may be some contacts through the Trump organisation though.
I'm sure Feherty would have negotiated a decent up-front payment to cover his down time. He's certainly improved the commentary imo. Him and the microphones in holes are 2 positives about LIV imo. I missed the 'clonkle' of the holed ball in the St Jude.

What if it's the link to the Golf Monthly article that contains it?

And that's the problem...
No argument with Fragger's application of the rule but how can it be applied when the GM website/SM posts the same clip.

The rule has always been "if you see it in the magazine(and by default these days) online/Twitter/Instagram etc etc..its OK to post on here....
They even have a blanked out F-bomb.....

 

[Beezerk]

I’ve just watched the tweet, did anyone else find it really cringey?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It wasn’t, it was lifted from twitter
But the fact that another GM platform has shown it in full puts me in an impossible position.

The infractions will be lifted but this is still a no swearing area

I’m LIVid ?
