Research Participants Needed: Fan Perceptions of LIV Golf

Seems slanted towards anti Saudi in the questions.

Could have asked many better questions

Agree. Meanwhile PIF dominate the LET and sponsor other sports such as tennis. For some reason, some are more bothered when it's men's golf.

Well it’s a golf forum so I guess people will focus on the golf aspect

Guess on a tennis forum it might be different

Also think there is a difference between sponsering tours and events etc as opposed to what’s happened with the current status within tour golf

But it’s a long trodded path when it comes to source of money and the survey seemed ok so filled it out
 
I've completed your survey but agree with Petercool & LT that the wording of the questions seems to reveal your bias. That doesn't matter unless it influences the answers that you receive.

The status quo is more entrenched, and there are more powerful vested interests who are threatened by challenges to the status quo / their power, in men’s golf??🤷🏻‍♂️

It seems that way. If LIV Golf didn't exist and instead, the Fedex Cup became the Aramco or PIF Cup, it would barely be mentioned that Saudi Arabia is 'sportswashing'. Mainly because the structure remains the same.

So in Tennis PIF are just sponsering an event ?

Or have they funded a rival tour ?

There are pages and pages of the same debate here

Thread 'LIV Golf'

Phil the Thrill is stepping away from the game for a while

The below is an interesting read from Alan Shipnuck whose interview/biography chat with Mickelson derailed the Saudi Golf League

Doesn’t matter who does it but when someone comes in with deep pockets and causes a split within the sport then it’s going to cause issues


Can you remember the uproar when the ESL was started

Hi all,

I'm Euan and I am currently completing my MSc in International Sport Management. I require a few more participants for my survey. As long as you are from the United Kingdom then you are free to help out!

It is an online survey and will only take 5-minutes.

Thanks
Euan

The whole survey lacks any sense of neutrality or objectivity.
How do you plan to overcome this (your) bias when analysing the results in order to draw any worthwhile conclusion(s)?
 
2 hours of live LIV coverage on ITV 4 this Sunday - I believe that will be the first time it's been broadcast onto one of the main ITV channels.

I assume they will direct viewers to ITVX for the back nine. Pretty poor from ITV to be honest.

Yeah, I'd guess so. I'd imagine next year they'll push for more coverage on the main channels - the whole thing was set up a little last minute dotcom this year.
