From a $20 million purse to a completely new format where players actually earn what they should livv tour is breaking boundaries and forcing the PGA Tour to change as well same as last time livv is offering a guaranteed paycheck tournament and nine figure bonuses just for signing on Cameron Smith Dustin

Johnson and Lee Westwood are just some of the big names that are with the Breakaway tour and there’re still in their Prime so watching them go against each other again is definitely going to be interesting the players choice to accept lv’s money has had catastrophic results though those whose PGA Tour

Memberships weren’t taken away have been suspended for a long time lv’s 54 hole no cut format disqualifies it from official World Golf Ranking points which makes it very difficult for players to advance to Majors if they aren’t already qualified by making it through to its second season livv golf defied the odds

Set by the majority of new leagues but is livv golf going as well as expected it’s going absolutely fantastic because of the saudi’s Limitless Financial Resources it gets complicated when they have to decide if a bigger and bigger event is all they need it’s quite simple to cause disruption violate standards

And attract attention especially in a stuffy setting like Golf and that’s what livv is doing right now it’s attempting to improve upon the foundations of the event itself so it can be streamlined better and they proven every single person who stuck with a PGA wrong people

Said it was doomed for failure mckel Roy and his gang would sit laugh as the tour was struggling initially but now they’re all quiet because livv has gone above and beyond anybody’s wildest expectations it’s only going to grow from here they’ve only had their beta

Season just now and I’m excited to see a fully equipped and fully established livv come into action even the players are strolling into 2023 with an air of excitement because livv has promised more than they’ve even asked for and it’s been delivering well on its

Promises so far 2023 is going to be a big year for the Breakaway tour despite all their bickering mckel Roy is giving credit where credit is due to the Rival League surprised me too because he’s been the most vocal about his dislike for livv and especially Greg Norman but

He said that he can’t just ignore everything the new tour has done for the PGA what has livv actually done though they’ve introduced a completely new format one that had no cuts and reduced fields and the biggest change also paid more well first of all people um totally

Respected the way I dealt with the failure I still have boxes and boxes of fan mails that people wrote me in at my house so what the PGA did to keep up as they essentially copied this new format and revamped the PGA as well mckill Roy

Said that he wouldn’t lie and the PGA finally having such a competitor did a lot of good for the league it had a massive impact and forced them to renovate and come up with ideas that fit into the 21st century professional golfers whether they PE PGA or livv are

Going to be benefiting a lot from all this the PGA is now going to have 12 events besides their four majors and the priz pur is now a whopping $20 million way more than what it was before obviously livv noticed this uncanny resemblance to their trademark deal and

Wasn’t going to let their chance to mock their rival go they tweeted from their official account and said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that the PGA was finally embracing the future everyone knows it’s true even the PGA golfers slowly admitted that they

Were at fault McIlroy said that he hates what the livv has done to the golfing system and how it caused such a big divide between his players um I think the turning point you know there was always it seemed like there was always four of us today that had a chance to

Win uh and I think that the the birdie on 14 was was really the you know that’s what separated the DP and the PGA Tours have felt this the worst since they’re missing half of their players some of their most famous players actually actually Ian culture and Sergio Garcia

Are now in the Embrace of the livv but millroy also said that he understood how the livv came around and admitted that it was because the PGA had become way too complacent they were the biggest golf league for like the last 60 to 70 years um I thought someone I thought I

Was going to be the first person to do the race to Dubai and FedEx double but uh Stenson I guess did it in 2013 so um but it’s still a nice little thing to have um and they literally had no rival in the industry at all players were

Stuck too like they literally had nowhere else to go so they had to Bear whatever the PGA decided to inflict on them and now because of livv they finally realized they need to innovate their outdated system to actually keep the players that they still have and since they finally realize they’re in

The 21st century they’re having to catch up with the media too now realizing the potential of platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram they’re desperately trying to win back Their audience from the clutches of the livv and in the the end the players are the ones benefiting fros

Like John Rah also admitted the same thing but he was more direct with it Rah said that without a doubt livv helped golfers everywhere and everyone should be thanking Norman and those who helped make the new league possible he said he wished it didn’t come down to this that

PGA should have been responsible enough to treat his players better it just a lot of satisfaction that comes to it when you get to be number one when the other players have been playing Great Golf as well right I mean Scotty had a great year last year Rory had a great

Year last year and then towards the end of the year I kind of without someone else coming along and forcing them to change things for the better so yeah without livv we wouldn’t have seen any of this progress livv is also bringing in a lot of new viewers just because

They’re better with their marketing the Saudi back tour has 14 events planned in 2023 all of which are thoughtfully arranged close to major championships and prestigious PGA Tour competitions three of the events will take place in venues owned by former president Donald Trump in the United States huge viewing

Numbers will be there already broadcasting the event was also a hassle last time but it won’t be this year Liv events were broadcast on YouTube in addition to its website and social media platforms the figures paled in comparison to even the lowest rated PGA Tour competitions an online only

Broadcast has a little chance of attracting a respectable audience Greg Norman the CEO of livv golf bragged that Ford networks are looking to broadcast livv events in 2023 whether or not that is the case the Final Consequence is that livv events will be shown on the CW

This year and will also be available on Liv’s own streaming platform and app convenient their marketing on social media like Tik Tok and Instagram is also way better and actually looks like something someone living in the 21st century would watch if you watch the pga’s online videos they look like they

Were made by a bunch of Boomers but now they’re also trying to one up livv and are getting more and more hit with the times and and that’s a good thing the previous generations who were used to the old PGA might find these new changes disturbing and unnecessary but they’ve

Been a long time coming if they weren’t going to do it themselves it was only a matter of time before players took things into their own hands John rum the world’s number one was one of these people and said that he hated the new PGA changes and didn’t understand why

They were needed one of the new changes made it so that players actually had to be there for their events Rah said that this was taking away their freedom to play whatever events they wanted and a lot of older players agree with him too it’s just difficult like I said I don’t

Feel like I played that terribly it’s just you know some narrow targets out there and and if you don’t hit it in the fway you’re playing defensive the whole day um thought it did a pretty good job again it’s just but at the end of the day the cycle of change is inevitable

And it’s the best to embrace it as early as you can well that’s all for why livv is changing the PGA tour
