LIV Golf and the CW Network reached a multiyear agreement to bring the Saudi-backed PGA Tour rival to American broadcast television, the parties announced Thursday morning, following reports earlier this week that the parties were nearing an agreement.

Go LIV! This will only improve the PGA over time.
CW? What is that? Country Western?
CW? Never heard of it, never watched it, never will watch it.
As for LIV... I can’t even remember which players switched to LIV, or even what their names are anymore... Remember that old adage... ‘Out of site, out of mind’... That’s pretty much what happened to the golfers who joined LIV.

What time is Matlock on?
I sometimes watch paint dry. More exciting than watching golf.
Matlock or LIV... Hmm!
A senior version of an already old Jed Clampett dressed in a suite and solving crimes...
Or... A bunch of millionaires laughing it up and wearing shorts, while golfing in a tournament that means absolutely nothing to anyone, including them. Kind of like the least watched event on the PGA tour schedule... The QBE shootout... Every week ad nauseum.
Hmm! Think I’ll tune into ‘Murder She Wrote’ instead.
Matlock was Andy Griffith but I get the point.

What I hear when I think of golf on TV
Ah... Barnaby Jones... I mean Damn it!
All Professional Sports have been consumed with greed including the not so professional College Football.
:: Damn it! ::
That was Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer.
😂
I’m pulling for Michael J. Fox to do some kind of old curmudgeon detective role on some TV show.
Pretty damn good market penetration going around the networks. Some deep, deep irony that CBS owns 12% of CW.
Interesting they should mention Mickelson with the contracts when Greg Norman is the CEO of LIV.
Mickelson has no need for money, his estimate at low numbers is $300 million of worth and is number three on the highest paid athletes list for 2022. He’s playing because he can no longer really be competitive on the American PGA tour and doesn’t want to go to the seniors.
Pro golf is the most lucrative of all sports. And the game isn’t near all they are getting for the business. According to Golf Digest, there are currently 556 millionaires carrying a tour card. The top three in earnings are Woods, Nicklaus, and Palmer all in excess of $1 Billion. Jack is the top as with his course design company, (Nicklaus Design), and Golden Bear products like clothing and equipment, and endorsements with big companies, such as Rolex and Perry Ellis, he was in control of a lot more. His average salary now is listed as $400 million annually as he has been restructuring the businesses to his kids as his health continues to limit him.
I get the feeling Phil is going the way of Jack slowly as his ego slows and he considers it’s easier, and more fun and lucrative, to play when you don’t have to.

Too soon?
What could be dumber than FRacebooking about how you never watch golf in a golf thread. Schadenfreude.
I hope they have lots of really great and huge tournaments at Trumps golf course
Well they added Trevor Immelman to cover LIV with Jim Nantz. Faldo retired last year I believe.
