Spuzz I would submit only two on that list (Jordan/Gretzky) would rate higher than Norman in Canada.
Maybe Tyson is on par.
In any case, Feherty is allowed to hype his tour boss., as the PGA does with it's over the top descriptions of mediocre players and zealous ass kissing of the few that can play, and the obvious derriere french kiss hype on the washed up guy.

It was definitely a reach, but not totally ridiculous. We in the US think the world revolves around us and everybody knows are Big 4 sports athletes. I wonder if the uproar would be the same if Jim Nance had called Rory the most recognizable athlete today?

    Eguller On most all google searches, Norman wasn't ranked above #5 and that was just in golf in the 80's not

    Yet he became a multi, multi millionaire on his own clothing line and likely the most recognizable logo in sports next to Air Jordan, c'mon

      darpar , Feherty, Foltz and others must have an ass kissing clause in their contracts

      Of course they do.
      So what?
      Only the PGA Tour is allowed to hype their own product?
      Good grief.

        All those no-names at the PGA's last tournament should be
        thanking all those LIV defectors for making room for them.

        First televised LIV tournament the local network chose to broadcast an obscure college basketball game that no one was even in the stands to watch. This week they’ve chosen to broadcast the Women of Wrestling. Well, I guess they gained a minute of viewership ratings credit for each as I tuned it to make sure they really chose not to broadcast golf.

        😆The wrestling event has about 10 or 15 live people in the live audience plus about another 40 motionless photo audience members. SMH.

          "This guy, that guy" This clip epitomizes the well-informed viewers of LIV.

          Eguller The supposed quotes from workers in that article are as phony as a three dollar bill. Definitely written by a media person at the union.

            Probably the highlite of the whole tournament that hardly anybody bothered to watch!

              johnnydoom If you have the time and inclination, it might be interesting to see what the TV station says about it if you call or email saying you'd like them to broadcast the golf.

                  If I can find any way to contact YT TV, I'll ask them to add the DFW CW station to their channels. I would at least check out the LIV tourneys once in a while, although I don't feel like I'm missing much this season.

                    last time....not missing much though! IMO
