Love JD to bits but Lav his grocery bag like golf attire and it needs to calm down a bit 😅
Brandel is the one who said that Rory needs to win more on iconic courses.
I actually dislike how negative these guys are about LIV. Does the PGA pay yall?
looking back the last few years, Rory always grabs and early win bolster his point standings.
At his best Scottie doesn't come close to Rory 😂😂
Bro, give me a break. Rory has won like twice on the PGA tour in like the past four years. He’s not what all of you hope he is and never will be. Enough with the Rory glazing, he’s a CHOKE ARTIST! call me when he wins five times in one year and one of those wins is a masters. Oh and by the way, out of the 13 tournaments Scottie played last year 11 of them were top tens, eight of them were top threes, and he had five wins. Remind me of Rory’s season last year? Buddy has been irrelevant for years.
Irish government is now officially looking at sending Rore's and Lowry to help Trump's golf form, but really, it's only try to spare us from tuff EU tarrifs coming down the tracks.
Love the pod and good for Rory
I do not think Phil elaborated enough. You guys are nuts if you think the fan experience —specifically for young fans — is the same.
The kids zones at pga tour events are sad and from my experience getting sadder. Liv has a true fan experience.
For Older young people they have concerts.
They have awesome hang out areas that do not require extra tickets.
The music creates a fun environment for you people and a Les stressful environment for parents.
I’ve been taking my kids to pro golf events —pga tour, lpga, usga and more for 2 decades—as a way to motivate them. But sometimes the events as run by the establishment literally turn young people off to the sport.
Liv is consistently providing ways to make young casual fans get into it.
It’s no comparison.
The pga tour more than anything they have copied Liv—and they sure have copied a lot —should be copying kids fun zones and cool concert, and areas fans can be loud more than anything.
But not this nor the team concept is why Liv will be successful. The reason they will be successful is the same reason from the beginning of this whole saga: they have a whole lot of money.
And because they were so insulted by the likes of Rory and jay and GC so much so often they are extremely motivated to compete.
