Subsonic It was a good tournament. I streamed from my phone to the TV and enjoyed watching it.

I was switching back and forth between LIV & PGA. Good TV today!

    sdandrea1 I've missed seeing him play well.

    Fixed it.
    His game was awful for a while.
    Golfer's hell.
    Good thing LIV came along at the right time for him.

        Spuzz His game was awful for a while.

        He had, I think, a pretty bad hand injury for awhile.

          I watched a little LIV again yesterday. It isn’t very interesting. Yeah they show a lot of shots, but it doesn’t flow.

            DonM Disagree. I switched back and forth and the PGA broadcast did what it usually does; focus on two or three guys and show mostly putts. Oh, and a thousand long, boring commercials.

              DonM Yeah they show a lot of shots, but it doesn’t flow.

              That was my first impression. I kept watching until I got into their flow and understood the team scoring and started enjoying it. It IS different and has it's own character, but I started liking it. Acquired taste?

                  darpar At least Nike got a return on their investment.

                  True, and it was a business decision only.
                  It's a bit early to say how LIV plays out, and whether it's all "business" related. which is unlikely.

                      Spuzz it's all "business

                      Not about being a "business", it's all about poking the bear (PGA/R&A).
                      Without sponsorships and a tv deal....which is kind of weird because they have camera's
                      all over the course, seemingly on every hole....they'll NEVER see any profits.
                      Which they could apparently care less about, I bet some of those sheiks have rolls of t/p
                      made from $100 bills!
                      Btw where did all those camera crews and production staff come from?

                          darpar I wouldn't say never as far as profit goes. Norman has already said this season is basically a characterization run and that the final format will be developed as they learn what works and what doesn't. It's a start up, so profit is generally unheard of unless you have a revolutionary new product. What they hope to do is steal enough of the PGA Tours customers to make a go at out competing the PGA Tour sponsors, or to make the PGA Tour want to make a deal. One or the other needs to fail or both will be unprofitable in the long run if they don't form a merger or non-compete agreement of some sort. The strength of LIV is that their investor might not mind taking a sustained loss for the future potential, but are Taylormade, Nike, and Callaway willing to do the same?

                          Taylormade has indicated maybe not since they haven't (yet) cancelled sponsorship of their LIV golfer(s).

                              darpar Btw where did all those camera crews and production staff come from?

                              PGA doesn't have a nutsack hold on those guys.

                                Spuzz Last Tee members are usually the first to poo poo change

                                I poo-poo'd it at first.
