I'm not sure why you'd want to see shots from someone who is mathematically eliminated. There's nobody else on the course when the final groups are on 17 and 18. What else would they be showing?

Surely they’re gonna be smart about it and make tweaks and changes based on this kind of feedback. A lot of people like it so it’s good for any who want to watch it to have the option. They’re the same golfers who still play great in all the majors. The XFL on the other hand was filled with nothing but utter jokes of never was guys (I know some of the LIV guys like Siwhan Kim have no business being there and are a joke too.) I have no problem with anybody just not liking it, but there’s been so much negative garbage reasoning against it from the Saudi hypocrisy, the “the players don’t even care anymore and just took a pile of money” argument which is now proven incorrect , the “lol Brooks 3 rounds doesn’t count bro. Welcome back to real golf where it takes 4 to win” at the Masters only for him to go on and win the PGA Championship (so that was also proven incorrect), that I just don’t get why anybody is so worried about a league they claim to care nothing about and don’t like. I'm not worried about LIV. I just don't like it and won't watch it. I don't see the point of it when they really don't have any ideas that better the game or the broadcast.

mikeman Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I wonder how much they offered these guys to do the LIV tour? You got guys like Ferhety and slugger white who were done and all of a sudden they're out there. Especially slugger white,(he wear a funny hat) the guy retired like 3 yrs ago, was done with the PGA tour, and poof, there he is doing the same rulings on LIV.

It's a vanity thing where the announcers and producers think their words, analysis, and production are more important than golf shots. They are NOT.

Imagine baseball only showing the team that's leading at bats, the team that's 6 runs down, we dont need to show some guy hitting .200 strike out, we need to hear ourselves talk while we show close ups of the team that's winning in the dugout? That's what you're implying. It's illogical, it's a sporting event you show the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They almost always show all of the shots of the final groupings. They don't show players that were mathematically eliminated unless there's nothing else to cover. Generally, the players in the last pairings are all still in contention somewhat anyway. Unless one of them had a terrible round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along comes LIV and you can work 13-14 weeks/yr and make as much, now it's fun and stimulating again. And for Monkey, they dont show the shots even when there's only 2-4 guys out there, take Rory who chokes a lot, we see every shot he makes for 10-11 holes and then almost nothing the rest of the round if he's not in it. showing a shot takes 10 seconds, just do it. WE dont need blather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcarroll33 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 The field at the Wyndham is ok at best. Bitter tournament for me. I still hate Ben An for getting Postoned and losing me 20k a few years back. LIV at the Greenbrier has a better field and cooler fan experience awaiting. Another smart move by LIV for competing weekends of scheduled tournaments. I'll watch both. Nice to have the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a cool golf league though which is a different experience than the PGA if you want to watch on weeks where their tournament is a yawn fest. The PGA Tour gladly accepted their partnership and money (so what does that say about the PGA?), and their current sponsors do billions every year with these awful Saudi's, and you heat your house in those frigid awful Chicago winters every year with their oil. But yeah a golf league (no mention that they own a soccer team, host an F1 event, will probably soon own an F1 team) is the worst thing on earth. STFU dude. Nobody is asking you to watch. We're just asking you to grill lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your so called greatest president, his son in law Jared Kushner and the former SOS Mnuchin love the Saudi's. Gmcarroll33 try thinking before making false statements to fit a false narrative. You're not pro America. You have been exposed. First international trip Trump, Jared, Ivanka and Mnuchin made was to the Saudi Kingdom. Unprecedented! Jared and Ivanka came away with 2 billion. Mnuchin came away with 1 billion. Trump received 10's of millions in emoulments as president and millions more after. Unprecedented All they had to do was help cover up the murder of an American resident reporter and muddy the waters surrounding the terrorist attack on 911.

It's an honor to be called insane by a young and dumb political zealot like yourself. Look I think we're all sorry for their loss and view 9/11 as one of the darkest days in world history outside of Joe Biden being elected president. However, their children are long since grown by now, and have been well taken care of by all of our tax payer dollars, as have all of them as parents. If they hate the Saudi's so much they should be protesting every PGA event as their sponsors deal with the Saudi's every day to the tune of billions. So all that purse money comes from the Saudi's one way or another. Do they shut their heat off in the winter or ride a bicycle everywhere they go because they refuse to support Saudi oil? I think not. We all dislike them to a degree, but they're involved in your worldly existence whether you like them or not. It's time the move on. Funny how nobody attacks their soccer team and having Renaldo on it, but if they start up a golf league that's different it's the end of the world to dipshits like you.

Gmcarroll33 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 LIV is here to stay per Jon Rahm. Also bashed the anti LIV stance vs accepting it as just another league players can play in. Growing the game and reaching kids in a different way whether the anti LIV crowd likes it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
