“Don’t care much about the PGA but do enjoy watching monolithic entities scrambling to find a way to deal with new competition.”
LIV has zero today with “competition”.
The losers who have joined LIV got tens and in some cases hundreds of millions just to join LIV and get many millions just to show up for a LIV event, no matter their score.
In the PGA you have to compete, and the better you do the higher your PGA earnings. Comeptition at its best.
But the Saudis with their many billions could not buy players to just play for competition, they had to bribe them just for joining and pay them millions just to show up for each LIV event. Nothing really competitive about it.
That’s my take, who cares if they miss the cut, only have to work two days, instead of four. Why not?
“Nothing really competitive about it.”
That was the opening gambit to try to compete with the PGA monopoly.
Hopefully the new league will be successful and many opportunities will open up for younger and less experienced golfers.
