Back in the real world
12 of the last 24 major winners have gone to LIV. Half of the PIP top 10 have gone to LIV along with a host of well known names. 8 of the top 25 in world rankings at the end of 2021 have gone to LIV. Despite many not getting OWGR points for months 13 of the current top 50 have gone to LIV. All this has been achieved and its been less than 3 months since the first event. The PGA Tour have been forced to rip up their planned schedule twice, imitate LIV with a host of limited field events and have a large liability in the prize fund model moving forward. |

Pleased you're also happy MW.
I was begining to think Greg Norman was a double agent because having so little to show for 2 billion takes some doing. We'll let the jury of the armchair golf fans decide. |

The money is a drop in the Ocean for the PIF and won't be an issue.
The PGA Tour and their enhanced pay outs - now there is a whole host of financial headaches. Ironically by trying to imitate and chase the money side the PGA Tour is in danger of destroying itself from the inside. |

The PGA Tour has pumped huge sums of money into the new elite field events and is making the short fall up from its reserves. They need sponsors to pony up an extra $5 milllion dollars per event. The introduction of the elite events will weaken the fields of the other half of the tour events which cost $8 -$10 million per events Given they are really struggling to attract sponsors for the korn ferry tour it is questionable at best whether they will retain the sponsors of the Pebble Beach Pro am or Sanderson farms at that price which in turn will cause a further black hole in their finances.
There is no investment further down the pyramid. The KFT is struggling for sponsors and to maintain all its events. The tier below canada, latin america China (if it ever comes back) is a loss making stepping stone for pros. With the emergency of Liv and the Asian Tour international series which will next year have 15 events with purses of $2 - 3 million dollars per event and offer a direct route to LIV events there is suddenly a viable alternative for pros on these circuits and the DP world tour and a threat to the conveyor belt of talent. It isn't only the elite level where LIV are reshaping the game |

a lot of big names have gone to LIV now.......smith, dusty, bryson, brooks.........theres no denying it......ive no idea where this is going to end up but if LIv had sense, they would go back to 4 rounds and scrap the team events, expand to 80 players, have a cut and get a TV deal.........the PGA tour is in serious trouble.

struggle to see how Brooks or Cam fall into the big name category... one cant keep fit for more than 5 mins, the other had red hot putter for a few weeks, which he badly needs with his lack of distance.

By:
Your posts were kind of funny during The Open but claiming Cam ain't a big name now is rather daft. Him and Rory are the only guys anyone ever talks about these days.
Players and St Andrews win in the same year = best player in the world imo. May not be in 6 months but right now nobody is better. |

By:
Rhino... are you serious? Touch and go if he is even the best Aussie at present. When the putter goes cold, which it will, will be shown up for the poor ball striker he is coupled with lack of distance. I would say he wont win another major, but looks like thats a given with his move to LIV.

In terms of consistency with DJ having played so little Scheffler, Cam Smith, Rory, Xander and Cantlay are ahead of the rest.
Rory and Cam Smith have a bit of character as well which is what has elevated them to being the most talked about. You could argue a case for any of the three being player of the year. My pick would be Scheffler 446 OWGR this calendar year is well ahead of Cam 326 and Rory at 290. 4 wins, 2 seconds and a third (he also had two seconds at the tail end of last year which would strengthen his case if it was a wrap around season. |

Asian Tour international series will hold a qualifying school event on US Soil.
Suspect that will fill up in next to no time with Asian Tour offering good money next year and a direct route to the LIV tour. |

With no PGA I watched the LIV event last night and have to say I enjoyed it. It just goes to show a decent course and drama at the end goes a long way to making good viewing. The fact there are no adverts and essentially shot after shot is a plus. Felt for Westwood but leopards don't change their spots.
I wasn't a fan of the shot gun starts initially and am not sure in the early rounds but last night it added to the drama. Having 6 players with a chance to win finishing simultaneously added to the drama and provided some crazy swings in the odds for the tail end of a tournament. It was probably unique that so many had a chance at the end but added a dimension when considering who had the easier hole/s to play. DJ is still a class act he might be down to number 20 in the world but along with Rory is still probably the best golfer in the world. |
