When an over-the-hill Charles Howell III is your celebrated winner and takes home 3x more in one event than he made in an average year on the PGA Tour during his prime it’s basically an exhibition event underwritten by a well-funded backer. LIV is basically the depository of washed-up famous golfers (with a couple exceptions) looking for an enormous retirement nest-egg.
Not sure about that. Some of the biggest names made the move. Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koeopka, up and comer Cam Smith. Not a retirement crew.
That said I haven’t watched a minute yet. These are guys I want to see but not enough to follow a separate league.
DJ had career earnings of something like $25m, and LIV offered him $125m. How do you say no?
So a gold event broadcast in what can barely be called a network was out watched by another golf event broadcast on a major network and. Gold dedicated cable channel.
That’s not news.
Event on golf channel and major network could have the worst golfers in thr world playing and it would still draw significantly more eyeballs
Not defending LIV could care less about golf in general, but this is not news
