In this episode of the Golf Lovers United podcast, Golf Lover UK and Pro Golf Critic discuss various topics surrounding the current state of golf, including the @TGL and its relationship with the @PGATOUR. They are clearly facing some challenges inherent to the new simulator golf technology, and this leads into a criticism of the marketing strategies of LIV Golf.
They also dive into @LIVGolf’s Tyrrell Hatton winning the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the @DPWorldTour. Tyrrell ties Jon Rahm with 5 #RolexSeries wins on the European Tour and cementing himself as a Top 5 to 10 Player in the world. They also discuss the finishes of other LIV and LIV-adjacent players like Tom McKibbin and Laurie Canter and debate if Laurie Canter deserves a spot on LIV above other players.
They delve into player dynamics and grievances on the PGA Tour , questions about random player injuries and withdrawals from various PGA Tour events, and possible non-public suspensions.
And @progolfcriticdiscusses his invitation to this week’s PGA Tour Event at the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
On the LIV side of things, they summarize the legacy of Greg Norman as #LIVGolf transitions to a new leadership, what leadership means, and the importance of having great leadership in Pro Golf. They discuss the background of incoming LIV CEO, Scott O’Neil who assumed the role this past week. The conversation highlights the importance of leadership, honesty, authenticity and communication in the sport, as well as the future of golf amidst ongoing changes.
GLU ends the podcast discussing the finalization of the #LIVGolf teams and Eugenio Chacarra’s comments in the media, the evolution of the LIV Teams and important lessons to be learned from the situation. Also what the future holds for former @4AcesGC member, Pat Perez.
