Yep, no way The LIV tour is going to be more exciting than the PGA. Who wants to watch LIV Hall of famers and multiple major winners compete when you can watch this tournament with current leader John Huh (1 career win in 2012) fight off Sungjae Im (2 career wins) and Brian Stuard (1 career win). Who knows, maybe we will be on the edge of our seats seeing if Austin Smotherman can fight his way to his 2nd career top ten.
With this kind of competition maybe Rickie Fowler can get a top 100 finish.

Sad to watch Rickie Fowler recently.
And this LIV vs PGA Tour mess will end bad for both sides.
No kidding
I watch the golf tournaments for golf, not seeing stars. I know what a good golf shot looks like, and I appreciate it. Don’t really care if the person who hit the shot is Dustin Johnson, or Maverick McNeely.
I also watch LPGA because those women are darn good golfers.
Neither Michelson, Dehamboe, JD, Garcia, Keopka, Bubba ect. have been steady major winners of late. And there is no ad revenue to LIV because it is not televised. LIV is not a “league”. its a Saudi funded global PR campaign in which “better” winners are not paid more to join LIV and everyone gets a big bonu$ just for showing up.
Which is more really competitive, LIV or the PGA. The answer is the PGA.
Unfortunately, that's not what attracts viewers, top names and superstars do, Like Tiger Woods. Unfortunately he is no longer competitive so they will need to find a replacement(s).
Which will be more exciting to watch once LIV gets TV air time?
The FedEx playoffs start next week so most of the top players (who’ve already qualified) are skipping the Wyndham to prepare.
“Which will be more exciting to watch once LIV gets TV air time?”
There is no airtime on US or Europe TV. You have to use an Internet streaming service run by LIV. Maybe theu will have Jihadi ads on it.
Never thought much of the FedEx playoffs. Kinda a scam to get top players to show up and play when they otherwise would not. It's like the lottery, only the top person (or 5) gets the payout. If you are not top 8 you're better off winning one tournament.
“Unfortunately, that’s not what attracts viewers, top names and superstars do... “
And once again, I’m out of step with the mainstream. :)
It's all about the money.
As a Browns fan that makes sense.
What a debacle the Watson acquisition had turned into! But that’s what happens when you give a sexual predator nearly a quarter of a billion dollars guaranteed. Good luck this season.
The PGA lost me when they decided they just couldn’t play a tourney on a Trump owned course. Don’t care any more.
Yep, pushed me over the line as well.
Another thing where they lost me is forcing me to pay for different streaming to get additional coverage, what a scam. You now need at least 3 different channels to watch, The PGA channel, the network channel, and then another like espn+, or peacock or another and they keep changing that.
When a$$holes collide.
Southwind is around the corner from me. A guy on the corner always puts up a $1m for sale sign in front of his house during the tournament
If it's a nice house he could probably rent it to players for 10k+ for the week and take a vacation.
