The LIV bashers were and still are those sanctimonious, ignorant people who believe the propaganda that the United States isn’t as bad with human rights violations as Saudia Arabia. Sitting on their high horses knowing nothing about what we’ve actually contributed to worldwide. CNN blows up one story about a murdered journalist and suddenly the United States has never done anything wrong and Saudia Arabia is the worst country ever.
This whole dynamic is about dumb, indoctrinated NPCs parroting establishment propaganda per usual.
Thank god for Phil Mickelson!!!
Phil challenged the PGA, and the PGA is a bunch of crap. Brad Faxon proved it this weekend! The liberal media is the worst. As long we bring politics into sports, it will fail as well as it should. Enough!
I marshaled at the last LIV golf tournament in Oklahoma. I worked a par 5 and saw amazing shots everyday. If you think these guys are slagging and just taking the money and running, you are wrong. I witnessed first hand the golf, the determination, the emotions. These guys are serious. I hate to say it but if Rahm and Scheffler made the jump to LIV, where would that leave the PGA? Side note, of all the players I interfaced with that week, Bryson DeChambeau was by far the classiest and nicest.
This is my first time tuning into this speaker, and all I can say is, "Amen!" You've certainly gained a new fan in me. Your observations regarding the PGA's conduct, as well as that of numerous media personalities, are absolutely spot-on. 9:02
Great topic Matt. You do a great job with the content you put out week to week. I’m planning on going to the LIV event at the Greenbrier in WVA in August. I’m like you I love golf. All golf. High school, college and pro. So I know where you’re coming from. Love the equipment videos you put out especially Tour Edge. Keep up the great work!
Brooks, cam, DJ, Bryson I guess are literally the ones relevant on LIV. There is way more consistent and better play on PGA Tour than LIV… for Claude to disagree with that is laughable. I mean Claude is saying all of that due to emotions with Brooks’s comeback win. The media has a right to believe a certain narrative because the numbers don’t lie…
Looking a LIV, if you can't produce, you get cut and they bring the next guy who is hungry and willing. As a result, now you got guys who can't come back to the PGA and on the outside looking in because they have nowhere to come back. What I also don't understand is why a non-profit, is so worried about competition. Sounds hypocritical if you ask me.
No cuts? Guaranteed paychecks? Contract only players? Nope, not for me. We got PLENTY of over-paid spolied, good for nothing, take a knee, cry babies already in NBA, NFL, MLB. I sincerely hope the U.S. PGA Tour NEVER goes to contract only players. Not in the spirit of the game in my opinion. Claude is WRONG is so many ways.
We should also be talking about brooks being added into the Ryder cup team
Side note – def had that impression about Gary myself until I saw him crack a smile after a bunker hole out at PGA 😂
I watch both but prefer when then are in the same field.
That snake seth waugh(ceo of the pga) talking out the side of her mouth while Brooks was on the podium was ridiculous. How nobody is talking about this is mind blowing. Such feminine energy. I wonder how she got that job???
Liv is so far more entertaining than pga its not even remotely close.
Well I want liv to go under and all liv players not allowed back to PGA tour period
Please put Claude and Brandel Chamblee in the same room for ten minutes!!!
Good onya mate ❤️❤️❤️
No reason for Harmon to go off. The LIV detractors like bitch ass Rory have been wrong about LIV for a year. Harmon should be quiet and allow these people to keep being idiots.
Hombre?
Agreed – just turn Liv into 72 hole tournament – then nobody can complain and the world ranking issue should be resolved
I do really hope the LIV Tour will succeed, I detest monopolists ( in this case the PGA ) in every aspect of life
Well said Claude …the proof is most definitely in the pudding …well done Brooks !
Why are people so surprised that folks get pissed off when a brutal regime has stepped in with endless oil money and set up a financially unviable rival tour and ruined the game of golf for everyone? Just so they can sportswash that regime. Or perhaps the Saudis actually have a deep respect and love for the traditions of golf? lol Seriously, golf didn't need LIV.
the media just love to start rivals and tension where none exist
If getting paid well is dependent upon supporting LIV, then it is no surprise that people in Harmon's position will support LIV. We will never know if Harmon thinks that 3 round events belong on the women's tour because he has no economic incentive to say what he really thinks. Show me the incentives and I will tell you what outcomes to expect (Charlie Munger). Harmon is just talking his book – LOL.
Bulls___ Harmon. Tiger's records are in the PGA. For a reason. No one that plays "other leagues" gets their records ascribed TO the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, etc., etc. LIV is a parasite. It should be listed as The Elites 54. And then let honesty prevail for the supporters of that. Notice that FB Players and BB Players that play other leagues get their history from the NFL and MLB respectively. Not the Also League. – – – –
LIV was started as a Toy for Billionaires and whitewashing the history of genocidal religious kingdoms. And that is where it should stay. If "Golf Fans" want to watch that . . . OK.
Claude Harmon III and his "opinion" is an Infomercial.
They are taking money from Saudia Arabia. They're bad guys.
Well it is blue or red. LIV has 3 tournaments on trump courses. Pga tour takes trump course away and sends them to Mexico. This tells me everything I need to know about who is calling the shots.
I have zero respect for Brandle Chamblee. Both tours are professional.
let me say this, Liv golfers make the PGA look like amateurs. This is a big point in why NOT to play against them. Liv players know there are good players in the PGA and want to compete against them, but some people don't care to watch the best to the best. I want to see the best against the best. I'm not blaming Liv golf for anything YET, but I will blame the PGA if they don't get their act together and WELCOME competition
Haha. So sad. 🙁
I don't know who you are but your take on this made me SUBSCRIBE!! Your take on this was spot on with the media, the RED state BLUE state comments and pretty much everything in general!!
You assuned Woodlands gender. Your Golf Channel pals will frown on that. You lot can't define what a "woman" is. 😂 You better go check on your Buddy Brandel, Faxon put him in a coma wirh FACTS.
I think the competition between LIV and PGA is good. It's obviously been good for the players because prize money has gone up. I like both tours and I like some of the innovations (like wearing shorts) that LIV has made. I wouldn't want to see that in the PGA because I like the contrast between the more formal PGA and and the less formal LIV.
LIV and the PGA showcase sensational golf for the viewers. The difference is LIV does so minus the negative bullshit and they cover the entire field not just the same select few week in week out.
YOU GO Mr. Harmon! Absolutely correct. The Golf Channel has become unwatchable beyond the live action. TGC has been so dismissive of the LIV players, insulting and offensive. That goes for many statements by PGA tour players. Looks to me like the PGA Tour players should be sending thank you message to LIV.
Claude Harmon? Claude won the masters in the 40s and was dead prolly by 1990. Claude 3… give me a break.
To Fuckin bad harmon
FJB ……and the same for the snob “Brandle”, he’s SUCH a MAGGOT !
They sold out to a tyrant, the people know! Money over morals even the courts agree!
Golf is a business! Liv golfers jumped ship for the cash. They signed contracts and joined a company who is in direct competition with the PGA. What company would allow valuable workers to work for their competition on the side?
We all have to "liv" with our decisions.
At last "The voice of reason and common sense", well said
