Sneakylong You just want to 'stick up' for the PGA, much like Bravopilot sticks up for Phil.

The day is coming very quickly, where they WILL be paying these 'contractors', just to show up. Not all have their noses up the PGA's assholes like Justin and Rory.

      DonM Same content restriction on YouTube today. I give up.

      What are you guys looking at?

      I watched a couple minutes live, no restrictions

          You may very well be right. PGA Tour Golf like many other forms of entertainment is star driven. The marquee players move the needle and as has been much cliched Tiger is the needle.

          So again, what the PGA Tour has to figure out is how to get the marquee players to play against each other more often to continue to move the needle. LIV Golf consists mostly of has been marquee players as of now, but could very well draw more top name players down the road.

          None of us can predict the future, but it would seem that the PGA Tour will have to change to reflect the disruption LIV has induced. What form that takes is anyone's guess.

          And to make myself clear. I'm not against competition for the PGA Tour per se. Normally competition is a good thing. I'm strongly against LIV Golf though for reasons I've stated ad nauseam.

          But still, golf probably isn't immune to saturation. The only sport that seems to be immune to saturation is NFL football. lol But that's built into it intrinsically.

          It's a weekly event with a build up all week to the games. You'd think it would've reached a saturation point with Sunday, Monday and Thursday games, but nope.

            I wonder how much influence the players wives have on the decision to jump ship? Hey you can be semi retired and make more money go for it? I could definitely see a usfl outcome with this tour. For some guys the cash grab and freedom from a heavy schedule is perfect for them. Especially the older guys struggling to keep up with the never ending wave of competitive young guns. Some of these guys totally view this as work lol. It’s a funny to think we pay money to play this game. I wonder how many would all but quit golfing if they had to pay to play like us

            garyt1957 There are numerous streams on YouTube, and none appear to be an actual official one. The ones I’ve tried are overlain with a white message saying to click a link in the chat to watch. I just tried yours. It worked for the minute that I tried it. It was low quality on my screen though. It also doesn’t seem to be an official coverage. Seems like a pirate stream or something?

              What fun it must be to be journalist(s) and be thrown or escorted out of LIV pressers. They
              can't even get that right. 🙄 .....Oh.... Wait.... They have this thing about journalists.

              I've watched the ones from LIV Golf's YouTube channel with zero problem.

                DonM Wonder why that happened? I had no problem watching, for quite a while.
                Until I got bored of seeing the list and other BS on the screen, instead of actual golf.

                    Par4QC You probably were on the right channel. All I can find are the scammy ones.

                      sdandrea1 how so? I only watched a minute or so , and they showed a lot of golf, way more than a regular telecast.

                          I'm spoiled by years of shot tracker, easy to read on-screen graphics, leaderboard that doesn't cover the screen, etc. My 1st impression was 💩 .

                            Watching the highlights on LIV Golf’s YouTube streaming channel…Jumps around from shot to shot, scores down left side of screen is distracting…Crowds seem decent…Not too many “walking billboards” other than a few equipment logos on hats and Master Card logo or 2 on a collar…Lot of local business ad banners around the Tee boxes…

                              raggmann54 Not too many “walking billboards”

                              That's because they all lost their sponsors. Pretty soon guys will be wearing "Joe's Laundromat" on their hats

                                Par4QC To me though, he has been a wonder....playing with seemingly broken arms from patting himself on the back, at every turn.

                                That's my take on him, too. He's got little man's disease, always needing to prove he measures up. I didn't like when he beat Arnie's record of 50 Masters then tried to play it off as some type of testament to physical fitness or some BS. No Gary, you just wanted the record for yourself
