Liv Golf Central Thread: Events and News


Thin2win
Message added by GolfSpy_APH,

We haven't had to say this in a while, but as a reminder to all that we are keeping this thread to the golf/signings and related content.

We are not going to get into the politics of it all and where the money is coming from etc.

If you wish to comment on that aspect of it all please feel free to do so on other platforms. Not here.

While much of LIV has become more accepted over the years there are still those who feel strongly against it and the backing. We respect all those who are both for and against LIV, however will not tolerate going into the weeds of all the "other stuff"

If you are not sure whether you should post something either ask a mod or don't post it. 

As we have before we will continue to moderate, remove or edit posts that go against our moral code and members will receive alerts or warnings to follow.

Thank you

So once again your take is incorrect on what was stated.

Nothing I said was incorrect. Facts.

The mods have asked that we stick to the golf event in this thread, so I will respect that and not make any further comments on this point.

Apparently there are descriptions for why the names are what they are too which is comical.

All the more reason to give more attention to the Ladies in the LPGA! 

I didn't watch the Ladies US Open, but I DID watch the Ladies NCAAs this year and the level of golf was off the chain.
I'm going to start watching more women's golf.

And the logos or whatever you call them look like they were done by 5th graders for intermural sports. In fact I think the 5th graders could do better

Interesting you mention that I just went through their site and he is no longer listed as a coach/ambassador/icon....he was last year.

Forget the team names. Look at the field. Unless you're a golf junkie, you wouldn't recognize 8 players in the entire field.

What do you guys think these big name sponsors like PING, Titleist, and Taylormade are thinking having their brand name on display at these media events?

Well Callaway put Phil's sponsorship "on hold", whatever that means.  It will be interesting to see what the manufacturers do here, because all the corporate sponsors ran for the hills right away.

At least for now with it just being streamed i don't think it will be a huge deal. I think more if an issue if they had a larger broadcasting contract.

Technically, they could use all of the names except Masters.  I would see the boys in Augusta putting the kibosh on that in a New York minute.  Saudi money or no, that is one group of men even they would have a hard time winning against.

Maybe Phil will start playing Yonex again.  Actually, come to think of it... he probably has already developed a mfg. company.  He will be playing a set of Mickelson Hy Flyers this weekend.  And we all know what the logo is...

Well, maybe. A look at the trademarks owned by Augusta National, Inc. doesn't show a blanket trademark for the term "Masters" as it relates to a golf tournament and LIV Golf could argue that calling something the LIV Masters is distinctly different enough to skirt any trademark claim, plus there's little chance people would confuse the two, which is the crux of some trademark disputes.

This post does not constitute legal advice... just a potential guess as to how it could play out.

Not a lawyer either, but I have used one a time or two.  I would be very surprised to see them not dispute any attempt by LIV to use the term in regards to their golf product.

They probably do not see those two as being negative to their reputation.  This is the same group that limits the commercials during their broadcast to only approved sponsors and only for limited commercials (why you never see a "WHHHAAATTT'S UUUPPPP" beer commercial). Those men have more than enough judicial clout and leverage to make even a perceived slight something they could go after you with a sledgehammer for.   But, I could be completely wrong, just like my wife always says.  🤣

Perhaps, but watching the world burn while all these pundits have these takes... it's a fun time to sit back with a marshmellow and make a delicious s'more

With you there, the Golf Channel has lost their minds over LIV, not even attempting to hide their disgust.  If I was inclined to be anti- LIV, the way they are covering it makes want to see just what the "charlatans" and "con artists" are up to over at LIV.
