So, aside from BDC, who's going to the Saudi League? A lot of chatter on this subject recently...

Eguller

Sneakylong No mention of the supposed $50 million as a deciding factor.😏

Legacy......🤑

Sneakylong

I doubt you’ll see sponsors lining up to support LIV. To much bad publicity risk. But the Saudi’s can self sponsor. Maybe they can show some tourism adds. Lol

johnnydoom

Sneakylong They don’t need to support LIV. But, if they want exposure for their products on the PGA Tour, they better put up more money. It’ll cost more, and less people will be watching or caring.

Sneakylong

johnnydoom

Only if LIV can get off YouTube and on a more widely shown network. There’s a reason they don’t have one. No one wants to go out on a limb as of yet.

Right now it’s like 60,000 - 80,000 compared to over 2 million viewers.lol. If I’m a company I know who I’m advertising with.😉

Eguller

Sneakylong If I’m a company I know who I’m advertising with.😉

Let me guess….. is it the one that didn’t try to destroy your country and way of life ? 🤔

johnnydoom

Sneakylong If I’m a company

If you’re a publicly traded company, it’s likely that PIF owns a piece of you. We’ll just have to wait and see about the TV.

Sneakylong I would be curious to know what the real interest is … what those viewership numbers might be if they were both on Network TV. I don’t think their lack of a TV deal is due to anything more than that all Networks that WANT to carry golf, are already in bed with the PGA. Why would they want to help water down their own product? Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t think of a Network chomping to become a player in televising pro golf.

The Saudi Fund may own a price of me indirectly, but they can still go f@&k themselves. Lol. Yes we will see if and when a network of some scale jumps in bed with the Saudi’s.

Working well here.
Much better than listening to the PGA talking heads kissing Finau's ass all day long.

Maybe FOX....

Sneakylong

Stu1961

Yeah, I agree. None of the Major networks will jump ship. It’ll have to be some other broadcaster. I was thinking Sky, but they broadcast some the Majors and some of the DP World Tour I believe.

Spuzz lol....actually looking forward to the Jr. US Am .... Doesn't hurt it's at Brandon! To bad only 2 hours of coverage!

darpar

Spuzz Much better than listening to the PGA talking heads kissing Finau's ass all day long.

He's been playing some pretty good golf as of late, better get used to the accolades.

Who else could they pimp in this field? Cantlay? Young? Not exactly household names let alone names that get discussed much at the 19th hole.

sdandrea1

I'm watching both events now. I can get used to this.

Sneakylong

darpar

They were doing some USGA stuff. I heard they had talks with LIV, but nothing came of it. Fox fired Greg Norman before from their broadcast team. Lol

The Saudi’s could spend some of that $600 billion and start their own network. Lol

Stu1961

darpar 3rd time (maybe more) is the charm. Might be easier (for a change) not having to sell it to sponsors- just have Saudi’s pay

Sneakylong

darpar

Yeah, Finau is clicking on all gears either now. Good guy. Easy to root for.

Spuzz

darpar He's been playing some pretty good golf as of late

Good for him.
However, when I tune in and it's Tony this and Tony that and nobody else, then find out he's 2 shots back, fuck that.
That was yesterday, and now today, when he ties the leader, his name moves to the top of the scoreboard (a la Tiger)
Fuck that too.
I guess when the field is weak and watered down, they gotta do something.
LOLOLOLOLOL

Sneakylong

Final is personable and makes it easy to root for him. 👍

Eguller

I liked seeing him win last week with his army of kids at the end. 😍

darpar

Spuzz

Probably just a marketing strategy the networks have used for years, put the most recognizable
name at the top in a tied situation, hoping to get the casual viewer to stay watching.
Not that everybody knows who Finau is, but I'm not sure I ever heard even of Pendrift til this week.
You're right about Tiger, he was almost always at the top in a tied up leader board, he moved the ratings/viewership.
At one time it seemed like they just went by first to post the lowest score, first to the top of the board.

Sneakylong

sdandrea1

Yup what used to be called a Phil Mickelson moment. Lol. At least he’s the one that sticks out with his wife and kids running out on the green after a victory.

Eguller

Yep. Pulled him self up from not much and works his rear off. Loads of talent doesn’t hurt.

I remember Tony and his brother Gipper on Golf Channels The Big Break back in 2009. Lol
