It’s definitely a bold move! However, I’m curious about the potential impact on the legacy of golfers who join LIV versus those sticking to traditional tours. Will it change how we view their achievements?

The PGA Tour is steeped in tradition, but LIV seems to offer an enticing product. With bigger purses and limited field sizes, it’s a refreshing change. Yet, I wonder if casual fans will embrace this new format.

With all the money involved, I can’t help but think about the ethical implications behind LIV Golf. While some players are reaping benefits, the source of that funding is quite controversial. Shouldn’t that matter?
