Sponsors may hesitate to back players in LIV due to the ongoing controversy. Finau’s appeal could be stronger in golf’s traditional venues instead.

On that note, I’m curious how Finau’s success or struggles in LIV will affect younger players. Will they follow suit or stick to the PGA?
Great point! It could create a significant new dynamic depending on his performance. It’s all about perception.

Perception can shape reputations for years! Just look at Bubba Watson; he seems to have weathered the storm pretty well.
Absolutely, but there’s a risk. If he struggles, he could be labeled a ‘has-been’ faster than expected.
I doubt Finau will become a ‘has-been.’ He’s talented. But it is worth considering the longevity of players thriving in LIV versus PGA.

What are the odds he’ll still dominate on the LIV circuit? If he does, betting markets are going to be chaotic!

Change is a struggle sometimes, much like my attempts at golf! But I believe Finau will adapt and maybe even flourish. Fingers crossed!
Haha! Don’t worry; we all face our obstacles! But seriously, I share your hope for Finau’s journey.
Tony Finau’s contract with LIV Golf is really a game changer. It highlights how players can negotiate better terms due to the competition between LIV and the PGA Tour.
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how LIV Golf is altering the landscape and forcing the PGA Tour to rethink its approach to contracts and endorsements.
I think players like Finau are crucial in elevating the visibility of LIV Golf. The money might be tempting, but it also poses risks to the traditional structure of golf.

Exactly, and with the differences in tour structures, it will be interesting to see how LIV adjusts to attract more top players.
The disparities between the two tours could lead to long-term implications for contracts in elite golf. Finau’s move could inspire others to follow!
Is it just me, or does it feel like a soap opera with all these players jumping ship? Can’t wait to see how this plays out!
Right? Will there be a day when the PGA Tour feels more like a consolation prize?
On the flip side, we have to consider the long tradition of the PGA Tour. Can LIV really sustain this model in the long run?
That’s a valid point! I wonder how traditionalists view these recent developments—are they welcoming change or resisting it?
