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.

    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. 🙂

                johnnydoom 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.

                Maybe Johnny Miller will come out of retirement. 🤣

                    I don't have a smart tv in my backroom and I can cast youtube to it using a
                    chromecast, so that's an option

                      I'm betting no. They don't seem like the radical bunch to me.

                          Par4QC I thought the Saudis already had a TV network? If they need one, they certainly have the funds to have one.

                          But will the cable networks carry it?

                            garyt1957 That would be very hypocritical of them. They will let the players play least they fall under the microscope of scrutiny.

                              'Let' is the wrong word.

                              'Invite'. They send out invitations. Ponder as you will as they can do what they like and .... invite.
                              I'm still waiting for mine. 🙄

                                With Feherty joining, you can expect an announcement on a TV broadcaster soon. There's a market out there, so someone will stick their neck out and go for it.

                                It will not be a major network that already broadcasts golf, as no doubt they have already been told by the PGA Tour that they will be black-balled forever if they take it on. Sorry folks, but that's just the way monopolies do things! They certainly couldn't care less what the golf-viewing public thinks...
