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.

Nah... 61 seems young to me, but old to everybody else and characters with disabilities are in now, as long as you have an LBGTQRSTXYZ love affair in the storyline there somewhere.
Bedminster and Doral last year I believe.
We all know Phil joined LIV for several reasons... That would be the several millions that he’s lost while gambling... The good news... He now has several million more to lose.
I wonder if he was the bettor who laid $1.4mil on the Chargers winning when they were up 27-0?
LIV did not release attendance stats for 2022, for a couple of reasons:
The Euro events were purposefully limited in attendance to break in hospitality and test guest management/course management.
I know for a fact Trump Bedminster was limited because of Trump's omnipresence -- he was all over the course on the weekend. But still looked like a crowd I would put on a Champions Tour level, if that makes sense. Trump Doral I did not watch.
Well... He is from San Diego, so I’m betting that the chances are 50/50?
"We know the LIV season will kick off on Feb. 24 in Mexico, just south of Cancun, at a resort course Greg Norman designed. That’s comfy. But in reality LIV Golf 2023 will start in just three and a half weeks, at the Saudi International. The 72-hole — gasp! — event is hosted by the Asian Tour, which has received massive funding from LIV Golf Investments. The presenting sponsor is the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the major backer of LIV Golf.The Saudi International represents, in essence, LIV Golf’s preseason, so we’re a lot closer to LIV news than anyone thinks. Cam Smith just committed this week, joining last year’s defending champion, Harold Varner — another LIV golfer. Take a glance at last year’s Saudi International field and you’ll find dozens of eventual LIV commits. Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Matthew Wolff, Phil Mickelson." -- golf.com
Umm…
Phil is worth $400 million. I don’t think he has to work.
LIV has enough golfers to make tournaments interesting. PGA has too many “C” tournaments that the top players skip which dilutes the brand. I would like to tune in golf on a weekend and watch top players, you can’t do that every week with the PGA.
“He now has several million more to lose.”
Could keep him occupied for a while.

Good move on CWs part. I lost interest in the PGA.
Yep, the majors are still interesting, but their weekly schedule is weak
It’s the Nike Tour. That’s exactly what it is. They leveled up a bunch of amateurs to fill the ranks.
You know what, I LIV for FReeptards like you, just punching down on you makes my Thursday.
"On 1 June 2022, the LIV Golf field was released for the first event, to be played at the Centurion Club. The list included several major champions and former world number ones: Dustin Johnson (US Open, Masters), Sergio García (Masters), Martin Kaymer (PGA, US Open), Graeme McDowell (US Open), Louis Oosthuizen (US Open), Charl Schwartzel (Masters) and Lee Westwood (the singular best golfer to have never won a Major).Before the second event in Portland, LIV Golf announced further signings, including several players in the top-50 of the world rankings, and three more major champions: Bryson DeChambeau (US Open), Brooks Koepka (US Open twice, PGA twice), and Patrick Reed (Masters). In August 2022, before the fourth event in Boston, LIV Golf announced that six more players had joined, including world number two Cameron Smith (British Open)."
Then Lefty joined. Lefty has 3 Masters, 2 PGAs, and one British Open. In fact, the balance of all living active winning Major winners has already shifted to LIV!
Now you take your 'Nike Tour' commentary and drive it right up your juxy. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! *whap*
*whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap**whap* FORE!
I was referring to the PGA, not the LIV. Go back to fellating your poodle.
