Where do the LIV golf events stream?
Exhibiton golf? Lame.
I didn't know Mark Crossfield had a twin brother..
It's for sell out professional golfers and is the super league equivalent for golf
Has been better than some of the boring PGA events to my surprise. PGA tour is drive and wedge for most courses with no trouble for being wild off the tee, hopefully they improve
LIV is the future of golf, as I write this and watch the PGA Tour I realize how freaking boring pga is
So what happens if more than 54 players choose to play on the Liv tour? How will they choose who drops out?
Exhibition golf … not interested and won’t be watching.
junk, and wait . . . are there any quote . . big players on the DP world tour? I mean the saudies have saved euro motorsport, F1, they have saved euro womens golf . . . .and now they create the liv tour . . .just because europes societies and business cannot fund sport does not mean the rest of the world should get behind this purely ridiculous society and monarchy . . . we do not have to get comfy with the saudis . . . . .
It is quite common for independent contractors to have work restrictions while they are working for their "contractor" and also for a year or two after their job ends (depending on the circumstances – unless they live in a liberal anti-business state like California that prohibits enforcement of such a restrictive covenant. Also, the players are tour members that aside from agreeing to contractual restrictions , they are aside from being an independent contractor, they are also your members that agreed to and are technically part of the rule making process. Restrictive work covenants (depending on circumstances) are quite common in independent contractor relationships. Freedom of contract which is a free market principle, none of the players had to sign their tour contracts or agree to the tour rules when they joined…Too many misinformed fans….
I dont constantly follow the big stuff in golf but i do think its an overall positive thing just because PGA's grasp is just so big that hopefully if we have more things like this then it will give more competition to PGA and make them improve, as it does not really change a lot.
That's a ridiculous amount of prize money. I would like to see some of the money go to something like cancer research. Fifty percent of the golfers taking part, are wealthy. Crazy!!!
Sheesh, so many subscribers and views but the vast majority don't care enough to even tap the like button or comment… what a burden for free information/content…
golf – pretentiousness among golfers = golf 🤣
The PGA’s market dominance is threatened by LIV golf entering the arena…healthy market competition is a good thing that will elevate the quality of both the PGA and LIV markets. Overall it’s a great thing for fans.
LIV all the way, I can not wait until in comes to network TV.
It's only controversial because the PGA got their panties in a twist.
I understand if you're a free thinker, outside the left's box, you are shunned from playing in that league. Gotta tow party lines, yes?
No wonder PGA hates them…. They're actually paying out great money. Last place is a million dollars? I mean come on now that makes it a great game no matter what.
So let me get this straight. You can come in dead last and still make a fortune. In fact, just signing up to play can make you rich. And it’s backed by another country who just happens to be one of the largest oil-producing countries with a poor reputation for human rights and is allied with countries who absolutely hate America. All, just so Americans can watch more exciting golf. WHAT could go wrong?
Sounds good
Saudis taking over…wyte pipo big mad
There is space for both tours. I don't believe that the LIV tour is as good as the PGA but offers value to some players. The competition offered by the PGA tour is greater then that offered by the LIV tour. If you are a member of the LIV tour then you should never be eligible for any of the 4 PGA majors or Invitation-only tournaments. The other issue is of course the backing of the LIV tour which is offensive to most but that is an issue that each individual must decide for themselves.
But if they are already paying you 50-100 million to join. What incentive is there to win or do well? So they pay this "signing bonus" + winnings?
LivTURDS play load schitt of $$$ golf 😂🤣🤪
