DJ wow. but where is Phil?

Would love to see the world ranking points given out for the event.

Let’s see if Jay will actually ban him now.

dbenick3 zero they aren't recognized yet

Gonna go ahead and recuse myself from this thread lol

iennis I mean they are going to have to if they give tigers 20 person field points. I mean the usga and r&a should have no dog in this fight.

dbenick3 I don't think its a we don't like your league so F u. Its a thing of it taking a year before you are recognized in the process of applying. Of course LIV probably doesn't have their paperwork in order seeing it took them this long to list people who will be in the first event.

iennis from what I have gathered. Liv is actually well run just Norman as the face is the dumb move.

I’m honestly surprised. No Bryson. No Adam Scott no kokrak. rickie I thought was going to be their big surprise name

The LIV Tour Discussion Thread

iennis from what I heard it won't be small world rankings points if they do get it. The example would be tigers tourney with half the players. Plus format, if 4 rounds was the difference. I don't think any of those guys will complain if it meant them staying in the majors.

dbenick3

48 points for tigers tourney (20 players), 26 for this week's 3m(full field). That is why it is important for liv to get as many as top 100 guys they can.

iennis

dbenick3 Yeah but that's just the problem these guys aren't going to be top 20 anymore if they don't get points. There is a year application process which could take even longer. In just a year these guys world ranking is going to go in the gutter. Wait till its only the guys with exemptions playing majors that will be the only way to get points for a whole year. The Hero is the one Tournament not a tour.

dbenick3

iennis hero, every wgc event. I would bet a good amount of money on that there we be world ranking points next year. To many top players to fail at this point. All this and we also haven't gone down the rabbit hole of the pga is going to probably lose their ass in court. People are going to realize the pga isn't as clean as everyone thinks it is.

iennis

dbenick3 There is one wgc now not a factor. In one year these top players wont be top ranked anymore is the point I am making twice now. Their points will go down and go down quick of this stretch with no were to play. There is like 5 maybe 6 guys on LIV golf that are considered top players and stars maybe 2 right now. Litigation will be interesting, assuming everyone will wait to see what the DP world tour does then sue the PGA. So talking a year longer with no points except majors.

Growing the game you think LIV is doing this? What charity do they work with? did they just hold the adaptiveopen that can show people handicaps don't exclude you from golf? Do they support the first tee program to bring people who wouldn't normally pick up a club and play. The many many more other charitable things they do. You can like LIV that's fine but don't make it to be the end all be all for golf. Its money sportwashing pure and simple.

dbenick3

and I don't want to hear they don't grow the game argument. Professional golf doesn't grow the game.

dbenick3

iennis I don't think liv is growing the game. I also don't think the pga tour grows the game. Was the pga tour so charitable before tiger? The first tee would go on without the pga tour. Don't confuse the pga tour, pga of America, and the usga. The usga ran the adaptive open.
One could say the pga tour is money washing with how bad it was 30 years ago. Less 1% of pga of America club pros are black. Golf is still generally an upper middle class white game.

iennis

dbenick3 The First tee program was literally created by Tim Finchem. Tiger brought money to golf, the PGA tour was not doing well till Tiger came everyone knows that. Every PGA tour event is a charitable giving you know that right? Golf is definitely becoming more diverse with more people from all walks starting to play. The PGA Tour is not perfect in fact I dislike a lot of things. But LIV is a afflication shirt on a 50 year old guy dating a 20 year old.

I HIGHLY DISLIKE LIV …54 holes…no cut …team leaderboards look like nascar leaderboards …the names are horrible …saudis are printing money basically…i don’t understand there end goal …I’m really upset about feherty more than most …i enjoyed him and his raw view points ….

don’t get me started i could go on and on and on

just be honest and say it’s about the money and i will have more respect for you …it’s a money grab …these fools aren’t growing the game ..Phil is off in some African country playing with monkeys …thought you were trying to “grow” the game …I’m tired of that excuse …..I’m tired of them all …..

very curious to see what ANGC does …

dbenick3

ekaj so you must think the senior tour is dumb too?

dbenick3

iennis and LIV is giving out charity to the guys that made the pga tour what it is. So if the 50 year old in the affliction shirt came to you and said, hey we want a normal guy in our tournament. Here is a million bucks and you are guaranteed every start for 2 years. You are going to turn that down?

dbenick3

Also just wait. 10 years down the road LIV will have the 5th major.

iennis

dbenick3 Time will tell, btw been fun bantering back and forth with you lol. Most the time people turn in children and get butt hurt its refreshing.

dbenick3

iennis I personally just love chaos. I don't get to watch golf anyways ha. I work in golf so it is the last thing I want to watch. Majors only
