    As I posted before the DP World Tour signed a strategic alliance with the PGA Tour last year. Can’t see the DP Tour cutting the throat of the PGA Tour after signing such an agreement.

        This is one reason we probably won’t see a major network broadcasting LIV Golf. Who’s going to buy adds on that broadcast? No company would risk such a boycott.

        Except maybe Saudia (formerly Saudi Arabian Airlines). Lol

            Sneakylong You would think with all the $$ being thrown at the players, they could find some major network to do the broadcast, for just compensation, just to get it on the air in the U.S.. After all, huge sums of money apparently has a very sweet taste.

            Do not need any commercials.

                Sneakylong. Money talks, as we're seeing with the LIV tour. Would they do it? Not likely. Could they do it and cripple the PGA ? Absolutely

                    I watched it on a local free underfunded TV station on Sunday, from Hamilton, Ontario. (CHCH)
                    If that is possible already (and it's early) then anything is possible.

                      I hope the LIV golf league succeeds based solely on the fact that it seems to bother so many people lol

                      Oh and if the PGA tour wants to survive, they need a way for someone to view the coverage without having to subscribe to multiple streaming services. I have ESPN plus and it is a nightmare to navigate.

                      If a major broadcaster did that (no commercials) then they themselves would risk some backlash. There was a broadcaster in Pittsburg who was in talks with LIV. Nothing came of it though.

                      Not sure a regional broadcast is what they’re looking for. Social Media is most likely where they’ll stay.

                          One thing that comes into consideration as well is playing in the Majors. Although the PGA Tour doesn’t control the Majors, world ranking points do.

                          So except for the exemptions each Major has for winning, you need world ranking points to get into a Major.

                          So if you’re a top player and choose LIV Golf then money is the sole reason. Because your legacy now is in jeopardy.

                            garyt1957 don't some of / all of the majors automatically invite you back if you finish top 10?

                            The four majors have similar but different exemption categories - past champions, position in world rankings at specified dates, winners of other tournaments, year-end standings on the major tours, and high finishers from the previous year's event - but these tend to change over time. The USGA statement regarding this year's US Open and the players eligible to play was very carefully worded to say that there would be no changes for this year, and made no promises for the future.

                            That said, some of the players who have committed to LIV have significant exemptions under the current rules - winning any major earns a 5-year exemption into all of the majors, so it seems reasonable for (for example) Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau to be able to play in the majors as recent major champions. (Not allowing LIV players otherwise exempt to play is likely to get messy legally, unless the organisers have a rock-solid legal case for excluding those individuals...)
