Lol this is why Twitter is the worst. I'm sure this loser running a fan account for LIV knows about the future of LIV. Freaking 3rd leg Greg didn't even know about the proposed merger until right before it was announced! Also it should be noted that the PGAT and LIV are not merging it's with the PIP which funds LIV among many other things.
Norman's name was nowhere to be found on any of the press releases.

There is a big disconnect at the moment.

So now LIV is counting on the olds? Which is it? The format changes were geared to attract a younger demo. Lots of goalpost moving going on.

What I don't understand is the people in the "absolute camps". To the point of super fan mentality. This is growing the game of golf and ending the division.

Who cares? Fans in team LIV and team PGAT act like they are actually on tour lol

Just let this play out and we can watch from the gallery

Getting old guys hopped on viagra watching Brooks Koepka hit balls over the head of girls on trampolines on FoxNews and was apparently the key to LIV success

Also, just catching up on this thread but the tweet about Rahm leaving for LIV and that's why the PGAT folded is the most laughable thing I've read today. That account makes InfoWars look moderate. Rahm made comments about Sergio in regards to playing in the Ryder Cup which is represented by his fellow Europeans and Countryman. Rahm is one of the biggest students of the game and in his spare time literally goes back and watches Seve, Nicklaus, Tiger and old championships. Of any player on the PGAT that truly cares about a legacy in the game of golf it's Rahm and I'm sorry fan boys but you weren't going to have that on LIV tour. It has been confirmed my multiple people close to Brooks he was trying to explore coming back to PGAT to be more relevant again but there was no way to make it happen through his contract with LIV.

If PGAT wants any saving grace, that dude has got to go. He completely led the golfers astray

Again, some of yall don't understand.

Since it was brought up, if OU softball was only on CW, "nobody" would watch that either.

There was collusion by all the networks, that's why LIV landed on CW. Once LIV is on ESPN or the likes, people will watch (just like they do OU Softball).
When people have an actual interest, they are perfectly capable of watching all sorts of stuff on all sorts of platforms. The idea that this is what has held LIV back is ridiculous. If people like a sport (or TV program), they will find a way to watch it. People watch football on the SEC network and the godforsaken longhorn network and navigate the various ESPN channels when they're airing something they want to see. People stream stuff all the time. Netflix (countless shows), Hulu (The Bear, etc.), Paramount + (Yellowstone spin offs, etc.), Youtube (Cobra Kai, etc.) etc. have all managed to find audiences for their shows despite being on subscription streaming platforms. Tucker Carlson got over 30 million to watch his first show on Twitter. I'm guessing there's a little overlap in Tucker viewers and golf viewers. Somehow these guys can find Twitter but not youtube?

At some point, you need to come up with something other than excuses. Sure, network TV would no doubt increase the numbers some. But the idea that, even though they can only get 80,000 to watch on youtube, there's untold millions of people ready to tune in if it was only on TV just doesn't have any real support.

Edit-And "all" the networks colluded? Really? Fox and ABC (and countless others), who have no relationship whatsoever with the PGAT, decided to "collude" and open themselves up to litigation and a possible FCC investigation just cause? Why would they do that?

I haven't seen this addressed, but I may have missed it.

If the PGAT would've re-organized as a for-profit organization and abandoned the 501(c)6, would they have had maneuverability to avoid something like this?

I think that would also affect their pension plan, which apparently is awesome. That's one of the main reasons they're keeping the non-profit status and starting this new entity.

Not sure how to link the tweet but apperantly at the player meeting the other day Grayson Murray yelled at Jay to resign and then Rory yelled back at Grayson to "play better". Rory is a complete *****.

Legacy's in golf are built on Majors. Not John Deere Classic and Rocket Mortgage victories.

Again, I personally believe there is/was some truth in Rahm looking at LIV

Yeah and Murray apparently told Rory to F off.

There is absolutely no truth to it but believe what you want. If he was going to leave it would've been when DJ, Brooks, or even Cam left. Why would he leave when the future of LIV was as bleak as its ever been with horrible TV coverage, no major sponsors, and little boy golf courses. He's not an idiot.

I find it hard to believe that Rory was defending Jay in any way

It's not that hard for me to imagine Rory defending Jay.

During his press conference the other day he wasn't calling out Monahan as he could've been.

Johnson Wagner was in the room and said it was contentious and heated at times.
