If Catlin joined the Rangegoats and produced better results than Bubba did, how does it weaken the product?

All the equity holding team captains will have to step back from playing at some point and either sell their equity, or take a management or ambassadorial role within the team.


Bubba is a household name in the game in comparison to Catlin, but he'd still have a presence in LIV based on the comments I've seen him make. The changeover of players will be a routine aspect of the league, and ultimately results count, so if you bring in players who perform better than those dropping out - then the quality improves.

Nah, I'm not buying anyone trying to paint it as a good thing that you have John Catlin playing rather than Bubba Watson.

It does bring up an interesting topic though, who are going to replace the likes of Mickleson, Westwood, Poulter, Stenson, Garcia, McDowell etc in the very near future? Or are they going to let these guys carry on like it's the Seniors Tour?

That's a lot of big, recognisable names that are going to need replaced soon.

Isn't it exactly the same as an golf tour? New players come through and the ones at the end of their careers stop playing.


By the time all of the above players have left LIV - you'll likely be seeing opportunities from players from other tours to transition between tours anyway, so it's a moot point.

If Westwoood left the Majesticks this year and was replaced by, let's say, Laurie Canter, do you think LIV will lose any interest as a result?

The guy's running this thing aren't stupid - they'll have considered all these points, and they'll have multiple plans to put in place dependent on differing scenarios.

Similarly, if Tiger announced tomorrow that he was never playing a pro golf tournament again, it wouldn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
 
So it looks like we might have a winner in the Fantasy League with Benny's Ballers establishing a commanding lead in Chicago - the Fantasy league will run through the team championship but a 21 point lead looks pretty much insurmountable to me - but, you never know..

Teams can't be picked for the weekend until Thursday when the team match ups take place.

Talking off things falling off for Rory - his iron head went for a burton down the fairway earlier - his group his free to view on You tube if anybody wants to catch the last few holes.
 
Wentworth looks in superb nick, Some cracking rounds out there, watched a fair bit of the coverage this morning and the distance these boys hit it effortlessly is unbelievable.
Bob’s driver off the deck, just wow 😍
