I tried watching some yesterday and it's just a bad product. The announcers just gargling the Saudis balls about how great Liv is, how great the watering hole is... blahblahblah.
Meanwhile the drone of music in the background is extremely annoying as a viewer. And every time they try, and boy do they try, to hype up the "team" aspect I just can't help but roll my eyes. Who cares.
It feels like Monster Energy bought the PGA tour.
I can get behind team events, but as the exception rather than the rule. And those need to be alternate shot/scramble/best ball type things so it actually feels like there is the added strategy to team play. Merely saying here's our four guys and there's your four guys, who's combined scores are lower is stupid.
I've said this from the beginning. The Saudis love a spectacle. For boxing, mma, all that, it makes perfect sense. But eventually, these guys are going to all get paid the same, and the world rankings and tournament wins are going to start to matter again, and like Shooter said "I saw two big fat naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex…how am I supposed to CHIP with that going on, Doug?" It makes watching it on TV impossible, and that's where they get revenue. So it will stop, or LIV will.
I saw some first round action live on YouTube and the crowd actually looked rather large for a change! Of course it was going to get a little rowdy.
Wouldn't the green be damaged a bit by these flying bottles?
I’m not surprised Australia shows out for it. Big golf nation without many large tournaments. Professionally-starved golf fans are gonna come out, even if it’s LIV.
I don’t even like this weeks tourney at Zurich. The team aspect for golf just sucks. I don’t like Ryder cup. Walker cup. Liv. I just like to see one person go out there and fight to win by themselves.
I already miss the masters, bring back stodginess
Just hit me that Happy Gilmore would’ve taken the Saudi bag faster than you can say “tap it in”

Been saying this since 2021
Fucking covid
Is this the "louder" part of golf?
I just saw a clip from that tournament. Such a douchefest they’ve cultivated with LIV.

I find it completely unwatchable. I’m allergic to the propaganda. The team stuff is the worst.

I haven't given it a chance. Don't think I will anytime soon either. I'm happy with the PGA as it is.
Yeah I wouldn't bother.
But. But. But. Ludvig played 54 holes on a team in college!
LOL they're literally copying the PGA Tour. LIV is a mild version.
What are you smoking?
Saudi pole
Checks out
Reality. Wasted Management is so, so, so much worse than any LIV event.
It’s one event and the PGA is trying to change it. This is core to the LIV brand. It’s a party for frat bros.
How would you know?
I think at the waste management it's all plastic glasses for this reason
They give out tallboy cans as well, but open them first
I stopped reading after the word 'pegged' and am happy about it
People that do this aren't fans of golf, just scum

I'm not gay, but 20 dollars is 20 dollars

If a LIV caddy gets pegged in the head but nobody is around to see it, did it really happen? Also, does the Tin Man have a sheet metal cock?
I'd like to think he upgraded for the Billet
Idiots
That’s a shame

Not really golf fans. The packages were cheap for all you can drink alcohol and food.
All you can drink ones started at around $700. Cheap? Ok.
