When you wake up in the morning and pull back the Liv bedsheets and open the Liv curtains, then get dressed in your Liv branded clothes, do you then go on to the internet and review opportunities to mention Liv? Do you have daily targets for the number of times you mention Liv on social media?
It must be so boring being you.
Its the sniping and criticism of anything PGAT that gives the game away on any objectivity.
The totally golf obsessed follower might watch and enjoy LIV. It is golf. But the ultimate golf fan, who will watch LIV, will watch lots of other golf, and will recognise the PGAT as a stronger tournament golf proposition than LIV. Its not even a contest.
No disinterested golf follower will reach a position of bigging LIV, but bashing the PGAT at any even smallest opportunity.

Yes, thats the very point. That there are no pro-PGAT posters sniping at LIV, but pro LIV posters for whom pro LIV goes hand in hand with anti PGAT sniping, undermines their credibility to argue the pro LIV case.
The credible LIV fan - and its conceivable there might be one somewhere - will extoll the merits they see in LIV. But in the same breath say the PGAT is as good or better. They will not bash the PGAT. That is where the mask slips.

The most consistent part of Rory’s game has to be the ability to play himself out of contention on a regular basis, it’s almost becoming boring.
What’s more frustrating is he’ll have a decent round over the weekend and roll in top 10.

Somebody did a vote on twitter the other day. If they all play their best golf, who wins out of Bryson, Brooks, Rory and Scottie Scheffler.
I think it would be pretty close - all class golfers who are capable of shooting low, and I would fancy Rory over 18 holes, but once you factor in playing it over multiple rounds, you know he's got at least one bad round in him. He'll no doubt play himself back into the chasing pack over the next two rounds - but that 73 yesterday has probably taken an opportunity of a win away from him. He'll be praying Wyndham self destructs at some point.

The same Andy Murray who had the bottle to be the first Brit to win at Wimbledon in 9569045 years?

Bryson isn't in the question.
Kopeka, Rahm, Rory and Scheffler is the question. And the answer, is either Scheffler or Rory.

Can I ask if you have ever been on a great round and blown up in the last few holes? Can you also put you professional record and majors won as I can’t seem to find itRory being Rory again I see

Considering Rory last won a major in 2014 it really comes down to Koepka or Scheffler. At the moment that's Scheffler for me.
Incidentally, I'm not in the anti Rory camp but you can't be in that discussion if you aren't winning majors in recent times imo. Only sky keep hammering the Rory is best angle, ridiculously so really.

A lot of people go on about Rory not winning a Major since 2014, but since then he has won 15 times in the PGA tour. In these wins, he has beaten the same players that he was up against in the Majors. Why do people think you have to win loads of majors to be classed as a great? Surely winning multiple times year on year is better than winning once? is Molinari or Willet a better player than Rory as they have had a Major win since 2014?
It's how golfers are judged, particularly by themselves. It isn't just hackers on a forum using this as a method of measuring, it's what the very best use.
Majors are when the pressure is highest, you are tested the most.

Him winning multiple times year on year is probably contributing to people saying he is a failure in majors
