Good for Niemann.

And yes, the on course reporters are atrocious. Absolutely atrocious.

Fun finish. Sudden death golf is one of my favorite things.

Really glad he holed the birdie. Somewhat negated Sergio's misfortune there (not that I have much sympathy for him).

Niem had to tell the dude I'm not great, I haven't won a major, lol

Bryson at -9, DJ -7, Gooch -7, Rahm -6 midway through round 2.

Hoping the Ironheads can get it together.

Nice battle for individual and team titles so far today.

6 way tie with 2/3 to play.

Pretty entertaining with the showdown between Rahm, DJ, and Wolff, plus Bryson 2 back.

Huge break for DJ. And what idiot put the scoreboard on 18 in potential play!

2 weeks in a row that Rahm has imploded down the stretch. And it was not just a bad shot but multiple bad shots.

Grahame McDowell sighting too. Good for him.

no kidding. $700k for the individual, and depending on how Brooks splits up the $3M team win that's a much needed weekend for him.

And Caleb Surrat looks like the real deal so far. Two top 15s in his first pro starts. More than earning his keep on Rahms team.

Big takeaway this week was in the production...I guess they used week 1 to hammer us over the head with teh stupid nods of the 'difference' of LIV and the constant "look at this one person on X saying they're watching us in Timbuktu!" moments.

This week was much more normal golf coverage. There was some self glossing like all sports do but it was way more dialed in to the actual play.. Appears as if they're fully willing to adapt and listen to the fans on what they're looking for in a golf broadcast.

Good event. They got lucky being a bit further west than Scottsdale this weekend.

DJ winning on and off the course!

I'm guessing she is pretty damn expensive - hence why DJ had to go LIV. I was slightly underwhelmed by her look today.

Think about his earnings in 2 events. Over $750k in individual earnings plus sharing in a $3M payout for a team win last week. Not bad for a 19 year old. Wonder if other highly rated amateurs are considering LIV.

That's definitely their model going forward especially if some sort of merger fails.

Aww - poor baby.

Are y'all watching this on CW?

Looking forward to Phil's team putting it together this season. Not clicking just yet, but loaded with potential for sure.

I think I heard that LIV players don't actually earn more than their signing bonus until their cumulative event earnings exceed the bonus amount. Signing bonus is basically a guaranteed minimum earnings.

What a stupid take by a PGAT fan boy. There is a difference between music being a white noise in the background and someone talking and making noises with a phone four feet away.

Oh man - you got me pegged.

Talking when someone is hitting is uncool, but Rahm has acted like this his whole career. LIV invites the 'party' atmosphere and he knew what he was getting into when he took $300 million to play there.He better get used to it.

He would have to wear noise cancelling head phones in Phoenix

All good.

Interesting if true

Some are set up like that for sure but each contract can be different.

Like some of the bigger name guys negotiated for equity

Well done by AN, even though they went out of their way to not acknowledge LIV.

They've got to fix the world golf rankings. Crazy a league with Bryson, Brooks, Cam Smith, Rahm, and Reid are getting zero points, while someone will get points for playing in the mexico open this week.
