Yeah crazy. It’s sort of the ultimate in capitalism or complete opposite of capitalism.
 
LIV golf’s problem is no one cares who wins their tournaments. I think Adelaide is their one successful event.

The PGA Tour has great events like Pebble Beach, the WM, the Players, etc that have organically grown in popularity over a long time. LIV tries to artificially create those environments will players they’ve already paid off and really don’t give a fuck. The product shows.
 
LIV is an irrational actor that doesn’t care about its product from a money making perspective. They want a seat at the table on the PGA tour and throwing around money is how they are going to get it.

The tour players that whined about all of this made out like bandits by the way. LIV helped get them even richer.

There was a moment where a deal could have been made. I think the PGA tour is looking at ratings going up, money flowing in and no more players defecting and are thinking what's the rush? LIV can lose money for years but at some point you have to ask why
The PIF is going to have to seriously negotiate now if they want to stay a player. Contracts are up soon on Brooks and DJ who both want back in the PGA
I didn't even realize that Tyrell Hatton was LIV

Competition is good and monopolies are bad. Same as it ever was. Capitalism wins, again.
 
Well….the LIV product sucks at the moment, I can only react to what I see. Its not compelling TV.
Maybe that changes who knows, but that's where its at currently and why.
