Super League Predictions
Just read where the Asian Tour is welcoming any and all LIV players. That would enable any who are interested to obtain World Ranking Points for entry into the Majors...
The PGA Tour response only gives the LIV Tour credibility. If it is so bad, it will fail on its own.
The amount of virtue signaling regarding this topic is amazing. Saudi is bad etc... as people run off to Chinamart.

Smart move.
It's the move I thought Elton John Pelley would make, but I guess he's whored out the DP Tour to the tyrant Monahan.
Cam Smith to the LIV? And maybe Cantlay? Actually the more the better as if the PGA loses enough stars they'll eventually have to compromise and all the nonsense can end.
Feherty to LIV is another rumour.
Spuzz Although he's a bit worn by now, that could be the biggest score if they got him and a TV network for him to broadcast on.

He may be worn on the uptight Tours, but maybe not so much on the LIV, given the audience?
Is McCord ready to unretire?
Foltz is ok, but Feherty would be a bigger score.
Not sure Foltz wants to return to walking the course, so maybe some drama on the horizon.
johnnydoom TV network
I thought the Saudis already had a TV network? If they need one, they certainly have the funds to have one.
According to the NYPost.com this afternoon Feherty has resigned from NBC and is headed to LIV Golf as an announcer...He is expected to be at the site of the next LIV Tournament at Bedminister...Just cooked up another bowl of popcorn as this is getting interesting........

The question is will a major broadcaster eventually partner with LIV. If not it will continue to be a sideshow with few watching.
If they can lure one, then it'll be interesting to see if they end up cannibalizing each other like what happened with Indy car and CART racing years ago. That oversaturation took years to recover from.
"On YouTube, LIV's event in Portland over the July Fourth weekend averaged 66,000 concurrent viewers over the three days, with 88,000 on July 2.
PGA events — excluding majors — meanwhile, averaged 2.4 million viewers on CBS and NBC last season, including 2.8 million for Sunday telecasts, per Nielsen."
"Everyone will be paying attention to whether or not Augusta National lets LIV players compete in the Masters next April."
Interesting times ahead for sure.
Par4QC If it's been on TV yet, I haven't seen it. If it is on a network I can receive, I'll watch it. Particularly if Feherty is doing the commentary and analysis. All the better if McCord joins in.
Most "smart" TVs have YouTube installed. No need for a subscription. You can always watch on your PC or phone. If you've got Internet, you've got LIV!
sdandrea1 My Smart TV is an old Panasonic that no longer supports YouTube upgrades. It is very hit-and-miss on the connection and continuity. If it's the only way, I'll watch it on YouTube with Feherty, but something tells me he won't sign on to be a YouTuber long term.
Sneakylong I am $ure one will at some point. They advertise for various petroleum companies already.
If I had Saudi money, I would just buy the Television rights to the PGA next time they come up.
