Apart from about 20 minutes of the first event, I'm not a watcher.I understand where your coming from
I suspect by your comments you are not a watcher?
Whether or not it’s all been gone about the wrong way,unless someone is willing to change and start talking,instead of slating each other it will stay the same.
With the womens Liv just around the corner,and these women will be offered unbelievable amounts of money compared to what they are earning.
The womens game could actually take a bigger hit than the mens.
Golf is golf. I fully expect to see good shots on any tour, when pro golfers are playing. I just cannot get into the concept of LIV, as it is really just made up of a random bunch of golfers who happened to say "Yes, sign me up".
I also said before, I didn't like the coverage, as it had a highlights feel to it. I'm not interested in watching golfers who are already miles out of contention, unless there is some sentimental value to showing a shot I guess. I like the build up between shots, discussing the difficulties that lie ahead, especially when you get to the business end of the tournament. I like the focus to be almost entirely on those last few golfers who challenge for the win, and I like it when they are finishing on the same holes, as they all face the same challenge as the pressure intensifies towards the end of the round. The final few holes become just as big a personality as the golfers themselves, and you really get to know what challenges they will present to golfers yet to play them. I don't like it when golfers are finishing all over the course. Scores may seem incredibly tight, and then you realise one guy is finishing on a ridiculously hard stretch of holes, while another guy may have a stretch of scoring holes, maybe a couple of par 5's.
I also like it when the golf is on through most of the day, especially the first couple of rounds. It means I have the flexibility to tune in when I have time, and watch some of the golf. Being tied down to a 4 or 5 hour window often does not suit, although once we get to Sunday, I am more likely to be available for the leading groups rounds in the traditional formats anyway. Only get 3 days of golf with LIV, rather than 4. And, as someone also said, geographically events being in the US (or even Europe) works out well for me, as I can watch in the evening or afternoon. So, from a practical point of view, not much good if events are played in countries with awkward time zones (that is just a point purely down to how it suits me, I'm sure those events would be amazing for other parts of the world)
