No TV coverage. Golfers out of their prime competing for championships again. Just like major league soccer. Good for the players making millions. Terrible for the viewers

Competition with the PGA is a good thing

Rich people doing rich people things. Most of the players are no longer winning threats on the PGA.

True.

And with no cut, it's like a charity tournament.

It was far from compelling coverage. Highest total for viewership was about 100k. Hardly setting the world on fire

For whom? The players yes. Definitely not good for the golf fan.

Wonder what they do for tour trucks.

Most golf companies have one to two equipment repair trucks for US tours.

The new Taylormade truck costs 1.6 million to build.

It's only been a couple of days. Calm down. This could be another XFL situation or...LIV gets their act together and the PGA starts moving to improve their product. Basic competition

Ultimately the best product will need to involve having the best players in the world all together competing. There are only so many indirect improvements that can be made to improve the product.

If we end up with a situation where a good number of the worlds best players are exclusively playing LIV, then we now have a diluted product. And then it’s just the majors that all the worlds best come together. That may be fine for the casual golf fan. Personally, I hate the thought of that.

Ahh, yes

So you are hoping the Saudis start throwing 500 million to college football stars and taking them away from lsu and letting them play 7 on 7 instead on YouTube?

I mean competition is a good thing, no?

I mean people are mad college football is ruined because players are making a couple 100 thousand and have free agency. Imagine if the players were played 500 million to play half their games overseas and play less football. People would fricking melt

But muh competition he says

Its not remotely similar. If the XFL put out a bad product, it goes away because it doesn’t turn a profit

LIV could turn out a shite product everyone hated and it still wouldn’t go anywhere….

It was their first tournament with no TV contracts.

It’ll get better.
