Baby steps. Will you watch this?

If it's on regular TV, absolutely. If it's PPV, absolutely not.

Looks like it will be on TNT. Sweet. Now just don't have it on opposite the Crosstown Shootout.

Sweet! Two guys with zero personality, one that whines about everything and Bryson.

YouTube golf is more interesting than the tours nowadays outside of the few majors

The ones that do, haven’t played well for a while now—-talking about jt, speith, Fowler etc.

Most of these guys have become such robots…zero fire, zero personality.

Interesting that LIV hasnt really added anyone of substance since Rahm.

Can’t say I’m surprised. The guys who wanted to go, went and the ones who wanted to stay probably aren’t going be swayed anymore. They have made enough money and realize the liv product really sucks.

I do wonder what the saudis end game here is. Their product isn’t gaining viewers, I assume they are losing a ton of money every single day, and they aren’t suddenly going to get more golfers. At least not ones that move any kind of needle. With the deal that the tour made with the U.S. agency, they now have the cash flow they needed and liv no longer has the leverage.

I know the two groups are still in negotiations but I’m to the point where I wonder if anything ever gets done.

They'll get more after the season is over but doubt it will move the need much. Probably guys like Kokrak who are ranked around the top 30 but want to cash out.

He's saying guys around Jason's ranking when he left for LIV

[WCWIII]

Looking forward again to seeing Jason next week at the LIV event in Chicago suburbs (only 15 minutes away from my house!). I'm much less of a golf fan overall with LIV/PGA issues, but I've enjoyed seeing Jason and following him around a handful of events. The best was back in 2019 and seeing him hit close to a tight back pin on 18 at the BMW in Medinah and make birdie - just enough to allow him to finish in the top 30 on the tour and secure an invite to the Masters the next year.
