And you know that a) that’s just for the all star game and that, even with that decline, it was still larger than any other year except 2024?

 

Oh and WNBA ratings on the major networks through the ASG are up 23% this season compared to last year, even with Caitlin Clark being injured and missing half of their games.  So there’s that.

Don't take the bait on WNBA stuff.  This has nothing to do with the WNBA.  Just a loaded distraction of an argument.  Just stick with "LIV stinks".  😛

Is Happy Gilmore 2 lampooning LIV golf even as LIV golfers are in it?

No spoliers here but Scheffler might be the best part of this movie.

Disagree. PIF is an endless money pit and they have 0 reason to shut it down. 

I’d say they have plenty of reasons to shut it down, they’re just too *proud to admit it.

Sitting here watching the LIV tournament. Course looks nice, good galleries… When did Joaquin Niemann officially become just “Joaqo”??? And oh, a Bubba Watson sighting! 

[fowlerscousin]

At 5 shots ahead, Joaquin is inevitable

A better way to think about LIV is that it's the Saudi Arabian Tour.  So we have the PGA, DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, Asian Tour, etc., and the Saudi Arabian Tour.  And if they were to play four rounds of golf in a non-team format like all the other official tours do, the players could qualify to be ranked in the OWGR.  The OWGR doesn't need to bend the rules to try and include them, they have to conform to the rules to be ranked.  Pretty simple...

 

LIV is the Saudi Tour. Except for the one time they tried to circumvent the rules by buying/joining the Mena Tour. That was blatant and ridiculous.🤣

He's got a long way to go for an EGOT, the "Grand Slam" of entertainment, but do you think he might be the first person in history to complete the OMPUO? (Oscar/Masters/PGA/USO/Open)

Beman retired after the '95 season - Tiger's issues I believe were raised with Finchem?

 

It was a hot issue sometime after '96.  https://www.espn.com/golfonline/tours/s/2000/1109/867622.html

Would have loved to be in the room when Bryson, Brooks, and Bubba realized that LIV was being parodied and they are part of the parody

I’m sure Brooks was a good sport about it.

Rumor is they had an intern dangling a cold MIller Lite just out of the camera shot during each take.

He's well-rested from his time off last weekend....

 

Anyways, we'll wonder if he would have picked off some "regular" PGA Tour events the last few seasons. 

 

Reminiscent of early Mickelson as far as performance in the Majors?

... I have been an actor for 47 years and I have seen some big stars on set treat the crew like 💩. I can't even begin to imagine how Bryson treated the crew when the cameras weren't around.

Why would he play in those low payout tournaments when he can cash 4 meg for winning a LIV event.?

 

For his legacy? He's already hall of fame with his bankers and financial  management.

Spot on for what guys like him did.  They sold their golf legacies for cold hard cash.  Nothing wrong with that, as long as they don’t whine about the ramifications of doing so.  Unfortunately, most of them did.  Hence, why there is often so much vitriol directed their way.  They wanted their very rich cake and eat it too.

Especially since they made it clear from the beginning that the move to LIV was about money only - screw the consequences. Until they never got OWGR points, then they complained like spoiled children.

Yikes. I usually watch the Replay on the website or App, and now it says it wants 8.99 or 59.99 for the event or season. I've been watching this way on the UK since LIV started.

 

Has something changed? I watched the Round 1 Replay on the App Saturday morning.

The antagonist is named Manatee. And if that's not clear enough, maybe this will help.
