@montypro Enjoyed that, RB being quite honest about his future. Interesting comments about the Cleeks and the Ironheads not being franchised - LIV obviously still had plans to get some big names over.

Flushing It3 years ago

@montypro Yeah, that was a big takeaway for me too as I didn’t know that. Rich is always very open and honest. It would be cool if more players were like that.

John Kang3 years ago

Yup, before LIV, every tour in the World was basically a feeder tour for PGAT & those tours lose all their top players to PGAT & US. PGAT deprived the growth of the game around the world by hording the best players around the World. Well, now that stops.

@montypro Enjoyed the discussion, Richard is open and frank.

LIV Golf have sold nearly 100,000 tickets for their first ever event in South Africa, putting it on track to comfortably be the best attended golf event ever held in the country. Charl Schwartzel spoke about the growth of LIV Golf since their inaugural event in 2022: “Yeah, I mean, that first event in June in 2022, there was a lot of turmoil in our sport, a lot of uncertainty. Obviously it was coming from guys that had come to LIV. Nobody was sure what to expect… “But from a LIV standpoint, it's been fantastic to be part of it, to see how it's grown, gotten better. Every year they improve. “We've had a taste of it every year in Adelaide, where you can see what it can be, because that's like the pinnacle of the LIV events. Now just to see what we've created here in South Africa, it makes you very proud to see. This is fantastic. “I don't think there's any -- there's never been a golfing event in South Africa that's ever been set up like this, and I don't think many sporting events here. This is really amazing, and it's sort of a great -- to have seen, and like I said, proud to be a part of it, that's what we thought and what we were told it could be when we signed up with LIV, and it's really come to life. It's amazing.” LIV Golf Adelaide is currently the premier event on the league attracting 77,000 fans in 2023 for the first playing and 115,000 this year. With LIV Golf South Africa immediately approaching 100,000 in the first season, there is a real rivalry between the two countries to be the biggest event on the LIV Golf League.

🚨✅⛳️ #COMMITTED — Richard Bland of Cleeks GC is one golfer who will remain with LIV. He says 2.0 is “a no brainer for me” telling Garrett Johnston: “I don’t really have a huge amount on the other side anyway.” Which players do you think will remain at LIV?

Off the back of the news that the DP World Tour PGA TOUR and Asian Tour have signed a multi-year partnership, ex-long time European Tour and LIV Golf player Lee Westwood is concerned for the future of the Euro tour. The DP World Tour’s partnership with the PGA Tour means the top 10 players on the ‘Race to Dubai’ automatically receive tour cards to play in America, meaning the DPWT potentially loses their best players to the US tour each season. Westwood was speaking at LIV Golf's UK event, hosted by JCB Golf & Country Club where his Majesticks Golf Club will be the home team #Golf #LIV #LIVGolf #LIVGolfUK #PGATour

I’ve found Peter Uihlein to be 1 of the most thoughtful players on LIV - doesn’t say much, but when he does worth the listen. Good interview with Garrett Johnston here. Before LIV the DP World Tour was more appealing to him. He enjoys being a global player, LIV has been a dream for him & would love to play the rest of his career on LIV. Great ambassador for global golf! 👍🏽

Today was perhaps a changing of the guard in Canadian golf with some new faces emerging. Richard T Lee lost in a playoff to Bryson DeChambeau at LIV Singapore while Sudarshan Yellamaraju finished T5 at The Players as a rookie on the PGA Tour.

A fair question: Why can a DP World Tour member also be a member on the PGA Tour but not LIV tour? Here is Keith Pelley, CEO of DP World Tour talking about Saudi in 2019. He said Saudi is using golf to transform country and he is excited about that.

The LIV Golf production team have added another cool graphic to their broadcast with topography lines around the green complexes. This adds a cool dynamic giving more depth into what the players face. They continue to smash it out the park with these additions 👏

In doing something extraordinary, LIV has its challenges, it has its problems. And it is obviously only possible because of Saudi money right now. But the smugness of Americans like Dan Rapaport and others who have access to everything in golf is just baffling from a broader view.

Tyrrell Hatton is playing some awesome golf on the LIV Golf League, with a win in Nashville, but he’s currently only in 1 major for 2025. I asked whether future major access concerns him at all: “I know that the guys at LIV are trying to figure it out with the powers that be in golf. I think everyone in the golf world can agree that there’s enough fantastic players on LIV that you’d like to see them in fields at majors. Currently, obviously they go off the world ranking system. I think, from a players perspective, I hope that something can be worked out where if it goes into 2025 there’s X amount of spots that LIV receive to play in majors. Just with the quality of fields that we have, I don’t see how people could argue that those guys wouldn’t be deserving of a spot in those tournaments.” Imo, access to major championships is the number 1 issue for LIV to address. It’s helps builds important context for the league and gives career progression for the players. Hopefully something is worked out soon.

There will be plenty of speculation about what Bryson DeChambeau and other LIV players will do now with PIF cutting the funding to the league at the end of the year. Bryson’s thoughts are in the quoted post below. “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.”
