  1. Most PGA Tour events are just "exhibition golf" also. There is no "tradition" for the Rocket Mortgage3MJohn DeereSafewayAmerican ExpressValspar ClassicOpenInvitational tournaments either. They just play one more round with 100 more nobody golfers that don't matter. If 54 holes with no cut is good enough for the PGA Tour Champions, why isn't it good enough for LIV?
    Also, the PGA Tour throws fans out of their tournaments for heckling too. "Get in the water!" will get you kicked out.

  2. It wouldn’t be Friday without Eisen virtue signaling us into the weekend!

  3. Every dollar the NBA gets is tainted by China… so chew me if I don't believe the rhetoric that the Saudi's are worse.

  4. Why are you so convinced that your personal idea is right? Liv golf is the most exiting thing what happened to golf

  5. Thank goodness. Our Thursday nights are safe. Charles Barkley goes over there and we may have never seen him again. The LIV Tour is home to the has-beens and the money grabbers that never liked to play competitively anyway. Let it stay that way.

  6. Im Tuning in for the story – the new legacy- the excitement and the change – but if you want to stick to the old – my good old boy – let’s be always the same –

  7. I want to go back in the archives and find the episode where Rich called out the NBA for not letting fans wear shirts protesting China

  8. Players are well within their right to take the money, but then you gotta deal with the fallout. “When you pray for rain you gotta deal with the mud too.”

  9. Hey Rich, thanks for going back to the long sleeve shirt. Now slide back to the button down oxford and cardigan. Your arms are week. Vacation is over.

  10. 9/11 is one story, but after trump led insurrection, for LIV to hold events there, its disgusting. To add to it, I see there's going to be another LIV event in trump's Doral later.

  11. Sorry Rich.. you have zero clue what your talking about. They get a few more of the PGA tour players and you may wake up. The NBA bends over for for China … hey Rich, they are our biggest threat.

  12. Let’s be real. 99% of people do not care about golf. And those who do only care about the 4 majors. No one is watching the Rocket Mortgage tournament 😂

  13. The 9/11 outrage is hypocrisy at it’s finest. Saudi Arabia was behind the attacks and yet our own government has never done a single thing to punish them for it. Instead we’ve continued to be best buddies, sell them weapons, and buy their oil. So shouldn’t the protestors be outside the White House? No, instead they are outraged at a bunch of golfers. The brainwashing is wild and it’s no surprise Rich can’t see through it
