If you’ve no interest in Liv,just don’t watch it,don’t click on the thread.
Easily avoidable really 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

LIV will end up placing itself beneath the Majors, and above the regular tour events - they just need to find the right locations globally that work. JCB does, for now.

Some people will argue against the series until their dying breath, when the sensible option would be to accept that it's going to be here for a long time, and admit they called it wrong from the outset.

"This is waaaaaay better than The Open" was Jamie's verdict. He's got - god willing, 60+ years of following the game infront of him, and walking round the event yesterday it's obvious that they've drawn in a young fan group - and I have to say, there were also more older fans in and amongst than Centurion last year.

So pleased Rahm won it - you could see what it meant to him - and he worked all weekend for that. Ogletree threw it away to a degree - but with the calibre of players behind him, it must have been a struggle to remain composed.

Conclusion of this event compared to 2023.
More fans, more fan engagement, bigger build out, better atmosphere and better players. LIV continues to trend upwards. (y)

The Bamfords and LIV put on a great weekend of golf.

Had to feel for Hatton, tricky sliding putt (Reminded me of Rory's in the US), just didn't start it high enough.
Really enjoyed the coverage, weather looked superb and course looked tough.
Wouldn't fancy playing it off the back tees like these boys.

The tv doesn’t do it justice imo.
Some of the slopes on the fairways are crazy.
Not sure I’d fancy playing it off any tee tbh.

It’s no where near a major for me.
Was a really good day yesterday with good crowds tho.
£35 a ticket is great value.
I’d have liked them to tee off a bit earlier.
And lower the price on the ale,it didn’t seem to bother a few tho 😂

No it's not a major - but LIV events will sit just below them in time. 10 years at a push. But I did enjoy it more than The Open - and I've tried to make that call objectively.

As for the beer - it was £8.50 a pint at Troon, so a touch cheaper at LIV, and I've just paid £5.70 for a pint of Madri at a golf club in Barnsley. Factoring in the "captive audience" factor - I think anywhere around the £8 a pint mark is to be expected to be honest.

Anything over £6 a ridiculous imo.
Where about in Barnsley did you play?

Where did you pay £8:50 at Troon? I paid £7:50 for a pint of Singha all 3 days which got discounted for using a Mastercard.
 
Fantasy League update.

Strong week again for Bennys Ballers who slightly closed the gap on LIVin on a prayer in the overall standings.

Couple og weeks wait until the next event at Greenbrier - which provided some great scenes last year. Great

Bit surprised with the recent elevation of the seniors majors there isn’t more talk about the Seniors Open 🤔

Anyway , solid win for KJ Choi - becomes the first Korean winner of a senior major - very good back 9
