The added incentive of teamplay is the best part of LIV and there’s no arguing that. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the coverage 😂 the crowd heckling was absurd though.
Great post
I really don’t care for team golf. Even Ryder cup is more for the players than the fans.
How about a foursomes match play tournament? Or if the rounds alternate, make the better ball day a 2-man scramble.
Wish one of the numerous, less known teams would have won
IMO LIV does not translate to broadcast television due to it’s international reach. Not too many people are going to get up between 11:00pm-3:30am to watch a live shotgun start halfway across the world. Anything on TV will be on a massive tape delay to which you can just look at the results via aquick Google search instead of filtering through Youtube or the LIV app.
The course is the big problem with Zurich. They could use a few LIv players, and better tv coverage per usual.
I’m ok with 4 ball for one round. Would love a scramble and a worst ball or both scores count every hole.
Playoffs should be alternate shot. I would have also liked to see Liv go alternate shot in Adelaide for that epic team playoff.
But really what would help Zurich is match play. I wrote it before lav said it…this is why I like scruffy Lav over sands and others.
LIv Adelaide is legit one of the best events in all of sports. Because of how they treat the fans.
I would love to see one innovative idea from ssg before we keep praising them so much.
They have not turned the New Orleans event into a great party because they are not good at leading. If you can’t hold a great party in that city, you’re the problem. Kudos to Rory for trying to create some party atmosphere. Aka doing his bosses jobs yet again.
You guys keep talking like LIv will change. Rahm has already backed off on 72. He thought it might help unite sooner, but since he realizes it won’t, he has moved on from that.
America viewers are coming. Many are still scared to be able to like LIv.
Hong Kong in bad weather was packed. A lot of the US events like Vegas also in cold weather had plenty of people. Even sleepy mayakoba had a great crowd when Sergio and Joaco played off under the lights. .
We have known about the shameless euro loophole! Fining and suspending your heroes to let them play for free. All to complete with no honor because the other team can’t have their full squad.
If I was rahm and the others I would boycott until they make fair rules; as Rory has called for. There is no honor in the euros winning over a diminished American squad. We need to care about that. This event is about honor.
If you are a euro or an American you should be able to be picked. But you should also have a way to qualify no matter where you play. It’s that simple.
Strong arm is very fitting. The wire guys like Sergio didn’t know then. It felt like principle at the time. And I still feel
That way. Again suspend. Ridiculous Fine. Now you can play. That is crazy imo.
Rex is such a company man. Again I like Lav who is willing to at least somewhat question very questionable moves by their bosses.
Finally I hope delta hooks y’all up with something.
Rory kinda pulling a Rahm feeling like he has a big enough voice to change things
