I'm sure it was but sounds like a lot has been blown out of proportion…
They believe that. And that everyone, including networks and companies with no discernable reason to do so, decided to collude with the PGAT. And that their phone is now ringing off the hook from companies that want to get on the LIV train even though it's far from clear what role LIV will even have, if any, in golf going forward. And that there is no conceivable reason other than collusion for why they never got a TV deal other than the CW (and it's never quite explained why the CW wasn't part of that collusion). And that their miniscule fanbase would be enormous if only people had some way to watch (Youtube, LIV website, and the CW apparently don't count).aggiebonzo said: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.AustinCountyAg said:
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

LIV good. Everyone else bad. It is what it is. There's really no arguing with it. I'm disappointed in myself for trying.

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 *****.

I'm in the minority but also don't think LIV is going away. They're goal was global golf. Picking up the slack and shortcomings of the WGC.
Are international ratings a thing? How would Adelaide compare to the Zurich to international markets? How would Adelaide compare to an Australia WGC event?

I don't understand the hate either.
The merger was good for the game

Still, I'll have my fun with LIV's failures because LIV negatively impacted golf fans, which I'm one, two years ago.

Everyone playing together, if we get that, is great for golf fans, which I'm one.

Agreed on getting everyone back together. Next season should be a lot of fun. The schism was my primary reason for disliking LIV, so I'm optimistic about golf's future.Aggie369 said:
Funny to watch people take such strong stances...no one knows what's gonna happen. Endless options right now really....should be fun to see what the end product looks like
I'm excited to get to watch all top players have access to all tournaments though...Cam, Koepka, DJ, Bryson, Phil make golf better

Who would that be? Not Rahm because "multiple major winner"… Morikawa? Was he ever #1?

Justin Thomas is the only one that fits that bill for "recent' #1 guys. If you go back to 2016, you have Jason Day and back in 2015, Spieth. Then Adam Scott in 2014. That's the entire list of people who qualify, other than Rahm.

LIV failures: getting genuine interest from golf community or bringing new eyeballs to golf (no reason to explain this again and again), team golf, team golf franchises, shotgun start, etc.
We can agree to disagree on these.

Mostly sourced from LIV point of view but Shipnuck has been all over this & the one that started everything with the Phil quotes. Doesn't sound like LIV plans on going anywhere and in fact seems to be doubling down.

Rahm likes the history golf too much IMO
He is a purist
Everyone has a number though...I'll ask around. I'm leaning towards not Rahm though
