Spuzz A merger makes no sense at all.
In some ways, it does. The old guys would throw fits if tournaments go to only 3 days, 54 holes. Why is it 72 holes anyway? Players leaving are stating 'less golf/more family time'. 3 days gives them all of that. A bit less stress from travel planning also, having to rush to airports to catch flights same night as finishing one tourney to get to the next. Esp. the winners.
Plus, it would be even harder for Rory to 'come close to' winning. 
The shorts the guys are wearing actually look more stylish to me than the skinny legged pants that seem to be the latest trend put out by the clothing sponsors.
Why is Bubba a commentator and not a player?
Playing golf next to the corn fields. That is exactly what my golf scenery was my whole life until last year. Almost every course we played. Love it.
DonM Why is Bubba a commentator and not a player?
Don't know for sure, but he had surgery for a torn meniscus in his knee 3 months ago. Maybe he doesn't think it's ready to go yet, or maybe he deferred participation just to give it extra time. Kind of cool to see that LIV put him to work as an announcer since he's on the payroll anyway.
Is LIV intensifying their marketing now? Starting to see YouTube personality profiles (which might be expected since YouTube does the streaming) with positive stories. Yesterday, I also noticed for the first time that they listed the tournament scores on the ESPN app. Don't know what is happening on other social media since I'm not plugged in to anything else.
johnnydoom I subscribed to their channel a few weeks ago to make it easy to find the event stream. During the last event, my feed was plastered with little videos from them with their players doing this and that.
This particular columnist is NOT a fan of the Saudi's.
Raise your hand if you thought Chase Koepka would be six shots ahead of his brother right now.
Who won?
Not hard to understand why a player, even a very successful player, might make the jump. And that doesn't even consider the front money and additional team payout (I think Cam gets an extra $350K for his team's second place). While I'm sure Cam will cherish being the Champion Golfer of 2022 more than being the LIV Chicago champion of 2022, it appears that his presence was cherished more in Chicago. The event (The Open) is historically important, but at some point it gets to the equivalent of some champion team from the distant, or even not too distant past, trying to recruit players based upon tradition rather than what is actually of value to current players and not just the organization.
LIV Golf Chicago - $4.0 million
TPC 1st Place - $3.6 million
Open Champion - $2.5 million
johnnydoom DJ has banked over $12M in just 5 LIV events. iirc, even Pat Perez has banked over $2M for those same events.
Just putting food on the table. 
Par4QC They should rename the team Sugar Daddy and the 3 Stooges! JK - I'm sure Dustin is quite happy with his choice of team members given 3 first place finishes in a row.
