For those that went today, other than the heat which is expected... Did you have a good time? How were parking logistics, etc? Looking forward to trying to get out there Sunday

I enjoyed it. Didn't need it, but parking is close. Go down Wilson though, not Mesa. There was some breeze today so stepping into shade when need break made it not bad. Bring water bottle, they have stations where can get free refill. Just enjoyed seeing the stars and walking the beautiful course.

Anthony Kim in a black shirt in a Houston summer. Wtf? Does nobody on his team have any sense?
He's a Wild Card.

Kim looked like a homeless man playing golf today. It was embarrassing imo

It was certainly hot today out there. I bought an umbrella at the merchandise store when I arrived and am glad i did to keep from being baked all day walking around. Parking was pretty easy and no real issues there to speak of. It was nice to not have to pay extra just to park.

Overall experience was better than the Houston Open. The volunteers weren't overzealous and it certainly was more laid back in my opinion. I enjoyed it and the music wasn't all that bad. It's not blaring loud anyways where you can't hear each other talking.

I do think they should set up a few more concessions stands throughout as it is needed in this heat and it would be nice if they set up more places to sit around tee boxes and such at the back part of the course. They had a couple water stations for free although it wasn't cold water. One spot had an ice machine but I forget which hole it was on.

So, outside of the heat, I'd call it a positive experience.

It was wild that there were no volunteers as fairway crossings. It was like the wild west but everyone showed great etiquette

I was at 16 birdie shack and it was still miserably hot at the tent. If it's in march or april next year it would be perfect!

On the grounds now. This is a party where guys happen to be playing golf and that's fine. Not everything has to be serious. I would say this definitely feels like an exhibition. Can see how non golf fans would be attracted for sure. Looking forward to a fun day.

People, do not go down Mesa!!! Use Wilson Rd. Fall Creek Bend is way backed up and taking me forever to get home.

It 1000% feels like an exhibition. I saw Ortiz smash the sand on 12 yesterday in frustration and it landed all over Matt Jones ball..... Matt couldn't care less

I was working the fairway on hole 6 on Friday and in the afternoon there were a couple of groups with nobody walking with them. In the far reaches of the course- holes 5-7, even the popular groups had plenty of room for spectators.

I'm sitting in a bar watching the baseball game and they put this on one TV. Not seeing many people at least on TV.

I took the whole family out there today. We had a blast and the players were so engaging. Bryson fist pumped my son, Phil walked over and gave my daughter, son and wife a ball, Koepka talked to my son. Atmosphere was fun and not pga stuffy. As a whole we are so used to pga tour atmosphere its hard to comprehend music, fireworks and even sky divers at a tournament but LIV is doing it right and offering a unique experience all the way around. The PGA better hope Rory doesnt move over because it's really hard to beat the fan experience of LIV.

Good info. Weird as heck with only a handful of people watching some of the best players in the world. Problem is they aren't playing for much of anything. No history. No massive championship. I'm going to their team event in Dallas. It is what it is exhibition golf. At some point the merger will happen. But good to see some got some good time out there. I do miss seeing some of the big names

I was watching the super regional and just glanced at it between innings. I was at Union Grill in Gilbert, AZ and wasn't the only one in Aggie gear believe it or not.

If savannah banana recruited jose altuve, freddie freeman, mike trout, ronald acuna, aaron judge, kyle schwarber, gunnar henderson, aaron nola, tyler glasnow, ranger suarez, and max fried to play for them, then yes savannah banana. But they wont so no, nothing like it.

You mentioned nothing about competitive golf, only reason I asked. I was out there, saw what you saw, and I agree with some of your points.

Also, to your point on Rory, if Bryson went back to PGA where do you think LIV would be?

I didnt mention competitive golf because i was talking about the experience of the tournament. If bryson went back to the pga it would hurt liv but i think they could moneywhip another big name like they did rahm.

Who seems to be loving it over there. Has already expressed he was under the impression the merger was closer to happening when he joined. Good thing they paid him all that money.

I probably would have gone again today if I hadn't been 5 straight days in the heat already with work and all. They really should rethink the schedule date when coming to Houston.

You know I haven't liked LIV from the get go, mainly because the best players are not all on the same tour but I did enjoy watching it yesterday. I streamed it today on my tv and will probably watch it more now.

BTW Rahm can't stand it. Says every event is like a pro-am vibe. Fits with his 2 major flops since he left.

Sounds like a merger is getting closer now.

I haven't seen that in print either but the general thought is the only reason he finally went was because he thought it would bring the two tours back together quickly. That and a boatload of money I guess. You can tell it's not his thing with his comments at the PGA about how he still considers himself a PGAT member.
Bunk Moreland
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I don't doubt he's struggling a little with the transition but I don't think he's upset or regretting it at this point. Ive seen mixed comments by him so it's hard to tell. I think the biggest frustration for him is he hasn't won yet.

Will be very interested to see how his thoughts continue to adapt come mid July when they play in Spain.

Kind of interesting the thread about the event didn't have any discussion of the competition, leaderboard or who won. Saw a brief mention of Ortiz but have no idea if it was him.
