I will be watching, many of those players are the ones I tuned in to watch, and just enjoy watching regardless of how they are playing. I agree with this statement. I really liked watching Cam Smith last year, and I've always been a DJ fan, so I am looking forward to getting some more opportunities to watch them outside of Majors Stuka44 and fixyurdivot 2 Quote Driver: TSi3 9* (A2) - MCA Tensei AV Raw White 65 S Fairways: Aerojet Max 3W & 7W MCA Kai'Li White 60 Stiff Hybrid: King TEC 3H MCA MMT 85g Stiff Irons: Aerojet 6-GW KBS $-taper Lite Stiff Wedges: Snakebite Black 52/56/60 Hi-Rev 2.0 Black Stiff Putter: Super Select Newport 2.0 Other Putters: King 3D Supernova & Spider Tour Platinum Ball: Tour X 2023 & ProV1x #LeftyGang Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Challenge (link here) Unofficial FootJoy Hyperflex BOA 2023 Review Unofficial Craftsman Golf Head Cover Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingGreens Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I don’t have much of a problem watching them. I enjoy the shotgun start and wraparound coverage. I wish and hope the quality of teams and players steps up a bit more, some of the teams weren’t competitive at all. Also will be interesting if teams start trading players and selling rights to OEMs, although I think that may be dependent on how well this tv deal goes fixyurdivot and MGoBlue100 2 Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I read the highlights from an interview with Harry Higgs recently that said something to the effect that LIV took all the villains from the PGA Tour. People loved to hate Bryson, Brooks & Reed and now the PGAs become kinda Jordan Spieth vanilla. I haven't watched any of the first 3 PGA events this year, but did tune for a bit of the DP event just for the Rory/Reed drama. Maybe there is something to Monsieur Higgs hypothesis. gavinski91, fixyurdivot and MGoBlue100 2 1 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for trading I thought they had said they expected a lot more, but nothing so far has happened. May it is just later in the season that it may pick up? Either way if no real trades happen I think we can move on from that aspect of it. Agree the teams should be a little more balanced.

He’s not suspended so probably yes but the reality is he’s not qualified to be on the pga tour so he would have to earn a way there. Probably also not qualified for the dp world tour either. Also probably doesn’t qualify for the korn ferry tour so he would have to Monday qualify on any of those tours or get sponsor exemption. More than likely would need to go to McKenzie our or pga Latin America and try to work his way up. In the end tho who cares because there’s nobody that currently matches that criteria Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have the ability to play in the Asian Tour based on the agreement that LIV has with them, but I can see how that might not be appealing for North American golfers. 3 hours ago, Headhammer said: This is my concern as well.

Given the feature that they had where they would show highlights of things happening around the course (I don't remember the name they used for it) I could see them doing something similar coming back from commercial breaks. Come back from commercials and get a quick highlight reel of 10 shots that happened while you were away.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The back and forth continues. I really wish LIV would run in the "off season" would give them some more viewership while allowing some to play and maybe not double dip, but maybe just have a bit of peace between the sides. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/golf/pga-tour-new-rule-latest-29111621 This rule however I think will have some significant effects longer term.

Man, PGA is really acting insecure. “You aren’t a pro yet and you haven’t done anything wrong yet and we don’t have any legal power over you yet but if you do decide to join LIV and then want to come to PGA after then you’ll have to wait a year.

It is clear that neither want to work with each other so they need to do what they can to protect their side. Just like LIV needed to offer millions upon millions to lure players away. Without that those players wouldn't have gone and they leveraged that because the PGA couldn't so in my eyes it isn't much different. Both sides doing whatever they can to protect and build or better their sides and if it hurts their opponent it is all the better. I wouldn't say it is acting insecure. IMO.

PeterHenric Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I appreciate your comments. The PGA is the biggest league and for a long time was the only league. Now that they have some competition, they are trying to force some potential new members hands. You know the saying “you didn’t quit, I fired you.“? This is not the exact same thing, but it FEELS like the same thing to me. they are trying to scare any potential new LIV members so that they will not actually join. the PGA doesn’t just get anyone that they want anymore so they have to cover their selves, yes. That is coming from a place of insecurity and good business, IMO.
