I've grown weary of the "asset spreading". The best players in the world are scattered between 3 leagues. Here's an opinon I just saw. He makes a point.
Professional Golf is Screwed (and deserves to be)
In my estimation, there's zero change that LIV and the PGA Tour can co-exist and both succeed. The audience isn't there.
I watch a lot of soccer where the best players in the world are spread across 5 or 6 leagues. And while it's true that nobody watches Saudi soccer (including the Saudi's themselves), the global fanbase is broad enough such that there are enough eyeballs for everyone.
Professional golf is different. The audience pales in comparison, and not for anything, for those who care (or used to) your choice is rapidly become one between a league that exists only to make Saudi Arabia palatable for investment and tourism and another that is rapidly transforming into something that exists only to enrich the players that stuck around.
In either case, the fan experience is Golf, but shittier 💩
We aren't part of the conversation, and because of it, apathy towards the professional game is on the rise. With distribution of talent further diluting the game by the week, it won't be long before neither league is worth watching.
Maybe we're already there.
