Was it followed by the one for Nike and Adidas exploiting child labor in Asia and sponsoring soccer teams from the same countries?

So assuming torque gc is no longer a japanese/asian team, that would leave Iron Heads as the only asian team.

Cam Smith/Australian team - Punch GC

Sergio/Spanish team - Fireballs

Niemann/Latin American team - torque gc

3 euro teams
Westwood - Majesticks
Kaymer - Cleeks
Oosthuizen - Stinger

5 us teams
Mickelson - Hy Flyers
Dustin Johnson - 4 Aces
Bryson - Crushers
Koepka - Smash
Bubba - Niblicks

That seems like a realistic lineup, so maybe the Japanese team is done for good. Maybe some of those guys filling in on other teams as substitutes.

These 2 really depend on what Pablo Larrazabal & Mito Pereira are going to do. It would work if both of them play, but I'm not sure on either of them.

Just saw a Anti LIV Golf commercial on The Golf Channel citing 9/11 Saudi terrorists and American families.


Was it paid for by the Families of 9/11? I know they are very against LIV.

Makes sense then. Can't really dispute their motives.

Damn, what did they do wrong?

Is there no way to ensure you can stay on the tour through good play?

I wonder how they feel about Chinese human rights atrocities, and the fact that the Chinese support ME terrorists, and own the POTUS.

They are announcing a major Japanese sponsor for the next tournament so they took this event off to build up the PR.

Condemning someone for how they choose to make a living is the most un-American thing I can think of. If these families do not want to support LIV thats their own business..but he who lives in a glass house

I find myself slowly starting to care about the teams more each time. I did not care at all when I heard they were going to go to a team format, but the more players they get with name recognition the more I see myself following the teams.

Fast forward 5 years and this might be somewhat of a thing.

I gotta admit, I was anti LIV. But I think they have something cooking here. This is exciting golf with big names all at the top. Good courses too. I’m even warming to the format. The shotgun with them all having the same amount of holes is kind of cool.

Cam Smith versus DJ for the title. 3 holes left. Westwood chasing too. Team competition is cool too and gives players out of the singles chase a reason to push hard.

Doesn’t feel as dramatic with everyone playing at the same time. A little harder to follow than in a traditional format where you can get familiar with the holes as the players finish up to the final groups.

Yea the ole I lost at golf but my team won! LIV is the epitome of participation trophies.

You just won 5 million! But we already paid you 165mil so the check is voided!

I feel you, but playoff will bring the entire crowd in one spot.

Lee Westwood choking down the stretch… maybe this is a real tour after all

The golf is good here, and at the KFT Finals.
