That’s almost a Who’s Who of golf.
No question they have a relatively small group of big names, all in all it’s a made up league with no real future IMO. Yes, many of those names will be in all the majors and might win one or all four, who knows.
Week in and week out the best golf in the world is played on the PGA Tour and that’s not likely to change for years to come.
The TV ratings and overall list of players proves that.
LIV is global. It will mushroom and the team play will catch on.
This is like the old AFL vs NFL rivalry. The NFL finally gave in because the AFL played a more exciting kind of ball.
Global viewership of LIV will eventually swamp the PGA. Most countries are now just coming along with TV packages.
LIV has provided players a way to keep playing without killing themselves to make a buck.
Think of all the tour players you remember who absolutely disappeared? The grind and the paltry winnings took them out.
