This is from a few weeks back

Skip down to this part...
"But another LIV executive who has been involved in the OWGR application process and who requested anonymity was willing to discuss how the review process works."

Bedminster course looks fantastic.
Would have been a great 2022 USPGA venue with the rough up before it was pulled..

And then, by definition, they aren't the top players in the world anymore.

No. They are still the best. Just that particular owgr definition has been rendered flawed, and no longer discerns the worlds best golfer.

Phil Mickelson gets heckled at N.J. LIV Golf event: ‘Do it for the Saudi Royal Family!’

It shows that LIV is achieving its goal already, and Americans are learning to love Saudi and its royal family. One up LIV.

I don't understand why all the people who are
anti LIV Tour pro PGA Tour are posting on this thread yet never hear a peep out of them on the Professional golf thread.

Weird

Who is “pro PGA Tour” ?‍


Why is it always “anti and pro”

It’s prob the biggest talking point in golf right now and people are talking about it

So Bubs confirms he is in. As with Stenson, it further confirms that Saudi is really not making inroads into signing the top golfers, and making do with the past it's that can make the Champions Tour. The Mid Liv Crisis Tour someone mentioned earlier is a good description. It puts itself firmly as a second division Tour.
Is that where its qualifiers wheeze came from ? It still needs to get its hands on top players. Qualifiers, a late fix for that failure ?

People are talking at each other, there's very little discussion as with most threads on here these days.

General tone of the thread is either anti or pro one Tour or another ?‍

Looks like a fairly poor turn out at this event.

All the chat was about bringing golf to an area over looked by the PGA tour.

LIV statements and reality do not intersect. The line about the team element being the innovation that had captured the imagination of golf fans, took the biscuit. They simply don't know what they are talking about. We do presume Greg knows something about golf. But he must be the only one. Any one else must have come from 10 pin bowling, pop music, or wedding planning. It certainly wasn't golf.

Nothing sums up "mid life crisis" more than Phil Mickelson right now. Embarrassing to watch.

He does seem to have flipped out all right.

Has he managed to break par yet ?

Must be £200mil plus well spent

And no matter how bad he plays he gets paid a fortune and won’t get relegated

He is the poster boy for LIV

The Portland event was the same on the weekdays and then got a great crowd on the weekend, be interesting to see if it happens here.

But, but, but, the beauty of the shotgun start ?
People going to a Saudi tournament only have watch four hours golf, not have it go on for a full day, make it a real day out, see golf played over the course, stop for food, sit in a stand for a while, follow a group of interest for a few holes, space it out for 10 hours to make the travel, park and ride bus, and costs worthwhile........shot gun theory is baaaaad for on course spectating.

Not sure I want to spend 10hrs at a golf event personally apart from The Open.

Went to the Cazzoo classic on Saturday as its just 30 Mins from me, got there at 1pm, had a nice time, I was all done by 5pm having seen enough and done everything.

Admittingly the field wasn't as strong as this Liv Event and there was no real tented village to go around or other entertainment.

Just on a purely golfing level it's great to see Henrik playing well again.
Been through a tough time in the last probably 12-18 months.
