PGA Tour has consistently lied to it's members. Why they don't jump to LIV or DP is beyond understanding. When an employer behaves this way, you would leave to their competitors 🤷
Total BS. PGA tour is doing this just to keep like the top 6 or so tour players happy.
If they do this then people should have to qualify for each tour card and each tournament. No more exemptions and multi year exemptions into tournaments etc.
LIV did take some good players, but they took even more has-been’s and never-was’s. IMO, the impact is more like 15, certainly not 25.
Bottom line it's about money to pay the top players more money they have to let some players go
Reducing field size doesn't make a better product. It just makes the 100 guys in the field play for more money. It benefits them but not the other guys trying to make it there. it just reduces their chances to get into the fields to try and make it on tour. The chance fora. guy that might somehow come in and have a good week and get a top 10 to make it to another bigger tourney or actually win and get a 2 year exemption. Those days are gone. PGA tour golf just became even more elitist!!
A niche viewing sport – the numbers are declining every year, YouTube golfer do better 😅
The irony is that Wesley Bryan is one of those guys that is getting more play on the PGA Tour because the LIV guys are gone.
Isn't this shrinking the game? Definitely not growing the game.
You’re a fucking idiot and you have no idea the talent at 100-150th ranked players.
There is nothing wrong with the PGA Tour product.
This is tantamount to what companies do when they downsize (eliminate jobs) to save money and increase profits, PGA Tour is doing the same they are lying about the reason they are doing it, it's about the money period!
The PGA players are all pretty arrogant and boring. All the charisma went off to LIV golf never be shown by corporate media. The more arrogant they are, the more they are highlighted! That's right, I am talking about Rory.
They should take notes what the nhl does. NHL is arguably a much tougher situation and they still do interviews during intermissions and talk to the coaches I think for sure the guys could get use to after 9 interviews and interviewing the caddies for more entertainment.
I’d rather watch back to back to back rounds of YouTube golf , whether it’s BB, Grant, Rick, Pete, Good Good, Forebrothers, Golf life, Golf mates, Micha etc anyone rather than pga tour, Sunday afternoon is maybe all I’d watch if it’s close but most of the time it’s not so 🤷♂️
Music and Teams like LIV Golf, is not the solution. In my view: 1. Smaller fields, 2. Faster pace of play i.e.: No wind gauges, No yardage books, No range finders, the pro’s have to learn to Hit and Go like the rest of us. Also, the elimination of stupid rules (playing the ball from a divot in the fairway, stroke and distance for lost ball etcetera) all of this would make the game better to play and view on TV.
From a spectator perspective this is good I think.
How about 15 minutes of viewing the event and 3 minutes of commercials!!! Not the other way around.
The PGA tour is boring because we have no connection to most of the players. Personalities are what connects us. Liking the guy who seems like he would be fun to play 18 holes with is much more likely to make me a fan. How consistent someone is with their 5 iron isn't going to make me a fan.
I feel the frustration from Lucas Glover, i grew up playing with Lucas in Greenville SC. I would be happy if they get rid of jay manahan.
Watching three 20 foot putts then cutting to 10 commercials is not entertaining,
Personally, I haven’t watched one minute of a PGA Tour event since the playoffs ended back in August. When my player is playing, I will watch and I will watch the majors. I now watch the LPGA almost exclusively now.
Sounds like Liv will now have enough players to have a morning and afternoon shotgun start, I love it!!! Eff the PGA tour, the only thing that matters is the majors anyway.
Come on… prize money rocketed to compete with LIV, so where do we get the money, mmmm lets cut 20+ people from the bottom.. i agree.. do you think we are stupid… how will this make pga more watchable? Your going to shows us 3 more putts per rotation… great 😂 you dont show us any of the bottom 80 to 100 in any case… so how is this making the product for the fan any better? None , nothing … zero you bearly scrolll down there to show the full scoreboard before shooting over to Rory and his net drive or putt… LIV did not kill PGA, YT dit… its fun…
