I understand all that and said so multiple times in my responses, it’s not about that, it’s about the long viability of the LIV when basically no one pays attention to it, even if someone on the LIV tour wins a major tournament this year will anyone even care is what I’m wondering.

Some of LIV players have exemptions for a number of years, for example Cameron Smith won the Players Championship and the British Open last year, he’s exempt for any tournament for the next few years and anyone who is a past Masters Champion gets invited back for life so long as they are reasonably competitive.

When those other exemptions run out, assuming the LIV Tour is still around I wonder how some of those players will qualify.

Without Tiger contending in tournaments, Golf was already losing popularity as it is. They really don’t have marketable players like they used to.

just adding to what you said...it now gets even darker for LIV(with both Opens aboard.)

what gets crazier, if DP Europe allows LIV players to play in it’s torunaments and get rating points.
Does it bring the Ryder & President’s Cups into turmoil ?
I believe both cups are owned and run by the PGA - PGA USA and PGA Europe.
how would these LIV guys get on the CUP teams even if they have the rating points ?
It would seem PGA wouldn’t allow it, being involved in suing LIV.

LIV will just get darker.

But I will watch.
