“Golf doesn’t need to be made cool. It needs to be competitive.” Chad Mumm and @wellsadams discuss why LIV Golf missed the mark.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams Disagree… LIV Adelaide and South Africa proved how great LIV can be! All it needs is a format change. 3 Days to decide individual champion and 4th day is match play for the Team champions! Also all golf tournaments are competitive.. all pro golfers want to win!

@chadmumm @WellsAdams I bookmarked that when I saw it. So freaking eloquent and hits hard.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams 💪 point.

Golf is the only sport where it’s just you vs. nature. While every other game forces you into a team or a 1v1 match with rigid rules (this also includes E-Sports). Golf is pure, solitary warfare against a tiny hole hundreds of yards away. That feeling of total isolation? You just don't get that anywhere else.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams Professional Golf is ALWAYS Meritocracy.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams Exactly

@chadmumm @WellsAdams Then why is the PGAT now doing concerts and having guaranteed money no-cut events? Someone must have thought it was a good idea!

@chadmumm @WellsAdams It didn't miss the mark - it did exactly what it attempted to do - grow a younger audience for golf. Wish it had stayed 54 holes or even gone to 36.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams If you think that those players taking the money were sold on making the game cool. you are a fucking retard.

@chadmumm @WellsAdams LIV never had a dogged victim of inexorable fate, to quote the book title. Unfortunately, the PGA Tour is trending that way, too.
