WHAT!! Who agrees with me? It’s so sad for me…
The U.S PGA TOUR has been destroying world golf for 50 years. It is the biggest tour on earth yes, Most money yes but spreading the game globally is an absolute no…
For golf the biggest market is going to be Asia there are more golf courses being built there.
there is a lot of people living in this area and they love golf.
Lose the Blue glasses they make you look Gay.
You are correct in the extreme. DP allowed their players to play the PGA tour without fines. I think they figured out what a stupid decision they'd made and decided to fine the LIV players just to get a few more dollars. 2nd stupid decision. It's a Damm shame. I've rather enjoyed watching the European tour. Now I'm wondering if the Ryder cup will be America against the Asians? Oh well…
Really like your channel, I'm from the States, if I'm not mistaken didn't all the LIV defectors choose guaranteed money and to play less golf so they could spend more time with their families but then they all want to play in all the majors and to have all the world ranking points for playing54 hole tournaments?? They choose that tour stay with it and be happy, don't be hypothetical. Life isn't fair get over it, you can't have your cake and eat it to.
RIP DPWT. KP has sold you down the river and will sail off to a some golf quango at end of year . The PGAT is going to co sanction rolex events to sweeten the tier 2 PGAT players who themselves are getting shafted by the top 70 . It the start of end ,people have been warning you for a year . Most LIV fans in europe are very pro DPWT not PGAT. That's gone it's Asian tour soon to be called Aramco world series all the way now
What happen to the 20% increase of revenus pga tour gave to the dp tour?. Its mind boggling to fine your best and crowd drawing players with these silly fines. What did DP expect would happen? Or is this leverage the pga was hoping to gain on LIV EUROPEAN PLAYERS? I WOULDN'T put it past the midget Monahan to do this.
Dumb ass sided with the pga,,,,,should have been LIV…
I’m sorry but (with respect) you don’t know what you’re talking about. I appreciate that you’ve every right to your opinion but you are talking nonsense. A) The DP Tour plays for more money than they have ever played for. B) DP World Tour could never compete with PGA Tour in prize money. C) Europe’s best players have always headed to America (particularly when the PGA Tour changed their view on allowing foreigners to join their Tour because it added commerciality and value to their Tour). D) LIV Tour is purely a money driven deal, no legacy, no history, no relevance, shite format, just loads of money…life’s not all about money unless you’re a greedy twat. E) Greg Norman and his friends are just taking the piss out of the Saudis, but what happens when they realise that their investment isn’t worth anything? The money in the game is utterly disgusting and without a cut, how do you even call it a sport…it’s just an exhibition game. Sport without jeopardy isn’t sport!
I think the DT tour is great! if they want good players price money should increase. I know that all depends on TV and app broadcast ratings. I really don't know how many people play golf in Europe. In the USA there are about 40 million players; can you imagine the TV ratings? That's why price money is huge on tournaments. Most European countries deal with climate issues. But I think you are right DP tour probably will become a second-level tour.
LIV Golf as you might know has new contracts for the players for 2023 and 2024. They are increasing their number of tournaments from 6 to 14 and maybe to 20. LIV golf players are obliged to play every tournament; no matter what. And also they choose dates where the golf majors are played. Poor for some of them; who are the best at the game.
ALL the Villans and characters of the golf world have joined LIV this adds to the great LIV experience. DP and PGA are have great players but the there product is verrrrry boring.
How good would the DP World Tour be right now if all the LIV players were playing DP on their off weeks at LIV? It would be serious competition for the PGA. To bad the DP let’s their daddy Jay tell them how to run their tour.
Early on I thought the DP Tour would hit a home run and have a lot of LIV stars playing in their events gaining world ranking points while waiting for LIV to get full status, which they will or OWGR will fold…But no, instead they aligned with the PGA so will learn what the saying “Go Woke, Go Broke” means…
I agree with you and your arguments 100%! But i think the DP world tour is already history. The management dient realize that the LIV tour with their cooperations in Asia is the future for the golfsport. The PGA tour takes the European golf all the room they would need to survive. And the CEO of the DP world tour says thanks to the PGA for letting them alive instead of showing them how to develop the DP world tour as their own. Martin Kaymer us a two time major champion, formerly world number 1 and a player with outstanding talent. He has still the abilities for a comeback at the top of the leaderboard and it's fun to watch players like him. 20 years ago you watched on the European Tour many players from the calibers of kaymer 8n the same tournament – Els, Langer, Monty, Couples, Lyle, woosnam and also Tiger traveled to good old Europe in this time! If you look at the European board for Ryder cup qualifications you see a player like yannik paul on position 4 or 5 right now. He won in the last 6 month s title and had week for week top ten ir better finishes. But in the world ranking list his not in the top 130…. Golf is a sport from good old Europe brought in the world. It's time that the Europeans get back in the driver seat, that they find new ways to bring this wonderful game in other parts of the world then only to US sport. And I'm sure, a lot of "old" stars would share this new ways with the European Tour do that they becomes attractive for sponsors again. The tradition for Europe golf is a huge fundament building a future! I hope they get the turnaround soon…
European golfers need to speak up. This is tragic! As an Australian I have always loved the European Tour and can’t believe the state of it currently due to the PGA alliance!!
This was the PGA tours goal all along… to cripple the European Ryder cup team, by diminishing the level of European golf!
What did they expect they've lost their best young players to the PGA tour. They've forsed out some of the biggest names in Europe golf in the last 30+years. Great leadership 🙄 LIV tour investing in asian tour so how many DP players will jump to the asian tour
Sad what it has become in a couple of years…..live in Dubai….Desert Classic going forward is nothing like it was 2-3 years ago….they should have had relationship with LIV rather than PGA tour…..no brainer….
Asian tour is smiling
Simple as this, i didnt watch DP World tour or PGA tour this weekend because it was a bunch of no ones but I did watch every shot on LIV, I would have watched the LET or LPGA but they were not broadcast here
How good was watching Rory v Reed in Dubai? I bet the ratings were through the roof
Could not agree more. DP World need to negotiate with LIV. The sooner the better.
DP WORLD TOUR
How to win friends and influence people 😂
Pelly is Jay's sock pocket, Pelly hoping he can fine LIV players to keep his tour afloat, he and the board killed their own tour and they kept their jobs they had the chance to partner with LIV and Asian tour and had world class players instead they decided to be the PGAT's door mat and give away all their talent, the only thing Jay has had to laugh about for over a year.
Partnering with LIV would have given the world 3 great tours for decades. PGAT, DPT and LIV. Would have been great. Now I hope LIV crushes these corrupt organizations.
The american marxists are trying to do the same thing to European Football. Inbred families like the Glazers, will destroy European football and make a super league. Then they entrench themselves in a monopoly and you can't get rid of them. No relegation, etc. The best part about American Marxist Sports League, is they take money from tax payers to build out the infrastructure. It is going to happen.
pretty new subscriber but….. time will tell, totally agree with your views. It seems that if you are making more money elsewhere the greed factor comes into effect, trying to milk these players for more money in the short term….. well goodbye seems a good response
Tour pros dont play because of the prestige of an event, LIV has shown us this. They play for prize money, and sponsorship deals.
I live 20 minutes away from PGA event in Dallas with a watered down field. Chose to drive 3 1/2 hours to the LIV event in Tulsa with my son who likes Cam Smith who was also playing with Bryson D and Bubba Watson. We had a great time and course was fantastic.
The DP TOUR would not exist without the players , why bully the people that have built the tour to where it is . Doesn't look like the DP tour have changed much at all .
If the world took away everything the LIV players have done over the past 20 years , the game would not be where it is right now . We watch the players , not the CHIEFS that think they are bigger than the game . This must stop , for the game to come clean and fair .
How many PGA tour players leave the PGA tour to join the DP Tour ? DP Tour need to give good reasons to players not to defect , by making the tour better, not just sitting on their morals .
Couldn’t agree more. The strategic alliance with the PGA Tour has some good points; but overall it’s got a negative effect; particularly when combined with the effect LIV is having.
The PGA Tour has the strength to stand toe to toe with LIV, but the DP World Tour is not even close. When guys with a long career on European Tour/DP World Tour; whether they are now with LIV or not say the DP World Tour is now nothing more than a feeder tour; then you do have to take notice and agree with them.
The emergence of LIV combined with the reduced standing of the DP World Tour following the strategic alliance with the PGA Tour in some ways feels like Brexit – sounds like a great move but the reality is anything but.
In my opinion it all went wrong before this as soon as we got closure to the American tour we changed our schedules Ryder Cup was moved back a little and I’m pretty sure that a reason pga changed to September. Less tournaments in the UK and chasing the sun I don’t think has improved the product we see. Our top players have jumped to America for the money and that’s all is about, money not the prestige of tournament wins. We need to stop focusing on money there is plenty of players making a living (don’t shoot me I know there a ton more not making money but that is what it’s been like for years)
The DP World Tour backed the wrong horse and will suffer the consequences of their actions.
As an American the PGA Tour convinced the DP Tour to embrace their rules about LIV golfers, forcing more exits and less interest in Europe. Kind of like how Europe has suffered following Joe Biden’s formula on the Russian- Ukraine conflict. Sponsors are not going to pay out for failing events. The DP Tour was already not attended well being it consist of many countries.
The DP World Tour supported by titleist have just held the inaugural G4D Open at Woburn, making forward steps to me by encouraging greater participation
The DP Tour made its bed when Commissioner Keith Pelley decided to align himself with Jay Monahan and the PGA Tour and now it's finding that sleeping in that bed is tantamount to an act of suicide. Giving the top 10 DP finishers a PGAT card is suicidal, cutting its own throat by allowing its top talent to leave each year. So stupid, even Stevie Wonder could see this clearly. Shameful.
