Expect to see many LIV Golf player names at or near the top of the leaderboard in Augusta next weekend, and probably even dominating the top 20 by the time it's all over.
Count on it.
Done w the Jordan Spieth stuff. Dude is annoying now
Love the back and forth. Golf Channel needs Late Night With Rex and Lav!
My Masters fantasy picks are all LIV, Rahm, Koepka, Niemann and Smith. I am a scud! As a Northern Irishman doing my best for Rory!
Looking forward to the full preview.
I love this channel. I like that your arguments between you. Finaly some podcast that have some energy
LIV Miami was great 😊
I'm no Rory superfan but I do see him competing for at least another 7 years if not more.
some compensation in his swing as he gets closer to 40 might even help him become even more consistent with his iron play.
Why are you not same room Piggy & Dunny ….😂
I would love for an old timer to win. or an underdog. something fun and unusual. even if it isn’t my favorite. i mean how fun would it be if bernard won. or rickie. or cink!! ❤🎉 let’s go 🎉
Okay so we're getting the best in the world at 1 event at The Masters, how does the light 54 hole schedule play in for LIV players?
I pick Jose MariA
41:19 why can’t we have TT back? The PGA TOUR needs TT 😢
41:51 The PGA TOUR needs a Caitlyn Clark type of hero to breath life back into it.
44:24 Whatever the structure of the PGA Tour is in the next few years it should include some type of rivalry events between Liv and PGA Tour players. Imagine players been traded or let go from one team and then basically being a free agent that could be signed by the other team. Or have a Ryder Cup style event between the two leagues. While maintaining the integrity and structure of the PGA tour by allowing all players to earn their tour card
Bryson is a wild card, he will be way out of contention or could be a surprise winner
It's amazing Lav gets paid to be completely ignorant about golf. Rex is fine.
Cudos to you for bringing up Nelly's 4th win yesterday. Women's golf is a must-watch!!!
We should make the Masters 3 rounds and set up a hip hop amphitheater on 16 to make it fair. And why not base World Ranking Points on the best Team Logos? This is a conspiracy.
Love these guys & seeing them argue is even better than only listening to them! Great stuff
Once again, Lav with absolute dogshit takes. I think he’s just rage baiting honestly.
Lav bro, idk about you. Rory simping just isn't a good look when it's almost been a decade since he won a major
You are not the golf Channel! You are the pga network….Lerner, scamblee, and the rest are not journalists….they're editorial narrative builders! Just like the mainstream media!
Just turned off the masters coverage by golf channel after listening to Olberholtser and McGinley slander LIV golf for 20 minutes. They went on about how it's not real golf (it's exhibition golf) and no one showed up in the Masters last year from LIV, etc… But Rahm won (LIV) and Phil M (LIV) came in second behind Brooks K (LIV) and Speith and then Reed (LIV). 5 out of 6 of at the top were LIV guys? Then it was how they think, speculate, all of the LIV guys were sold a bill of goods thinking the OWG ranking issue would be put to bed by now and no one over there is happy. It's just embarrassing to watch these guys drone on about their competition. How about we talk about the players that are in this event and the event itself? No one wants to hear all of this made up vitriol. It's like listening to someone gossip about someone they hate, that you don't hate. We get it, you guys hate LIV but that's not news.
Re Rory: Famous quote from Seinfeld episode ‘George does the opposite’…. that "if every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right"
How many LIV players finish in the top 10?
But they do have analytics for LIV now. So these 2, Rex in particular, are just choosing to ignore it lacking in journalistic integrity.
Bhatia and McCarthy were having a different tournament from everyone else. 9 shots between the two of them and McIlroy winning the second flight.
Ryan you looked so handsome on Masters Live today!
I suspect Koepka hasn't been great in the LIV tournaments because he doesn't give a s**. At Augusta, he will give a s** and that seems to make him a different player.
How can a major be "more important" if Talor Gooch is not there?
