Yep, I applauded him for that decision. In golf, there are only 4 major tournaments that will never be outdone and to sign on to the Saudi's for immediate financial gratification is a death sentence.
Will the LIV have US televised coverage of their tournaments which NBC currently has the market sealed with their contract with the PGA?
I don't know but it sounds to me like these 17 players and those who follow are giving the finger to the very athletic organization that allowed them to amass their fortunes.......
Hopefully their contracts include free gasoline for the rest of their golfing lives..........

No. Not in Europe or the U.S. You have to use the LIV’s own website to view by “live streaming” or use somehing called DAZN (maybe it’s a Saudi based streaming service.
Myself I intend to boycott LIV.

Dustin Johnson (ranked 15th in the world now) just madde the fortune of his life, getting $125 million just to join LIV, which is more than Tiger has earned from the PGA since he turned pro in 1996.
The whole thing about LIV is, for the players, NOT about “golf”, it’s about the money, and for the Saudis they are trying to buy public respectability. The whole project should be rejected.
