Maybe, but let’s face it - golf is a sport, and players need to go where they’re financially valued. Besides, who wouldn’t want $25 million for winning a tournament? It’s a life-changing amount!
Exactly! And the format adjustments are intriguing too; quicker rounds mean fans might engage more. It’s not just about the money, but also about revitalizing the experience.

Financially, LIV has attracted big names like Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka. They seem more focused on playing for fun and profit rather than the legacy of golf. How will that affect the younger players looking up to them?
That’s a valid concern! I think it might create a different mentality among young golfers, one perhaps more centered around endorsement deals than traditional milestones.
I find it amusing how purists are freaking out over LIV. Change is always scary! Golf has evolved, and this could be just another step in that evolution. Just enjoy the game, right?
It’s refreshing to see some liveliness in the game! However, there’s also a part of me that feels nostalgic for the conventional formats. I wonder if we’ll see a return to that in the future.
Maybe! I think golf constantly needs to attract new fans. There’s a ton of potential in blending traditional aspects with LIV’s innovative changes.
It’s always fun to speculate on golf’s future, especially with players like DeChambeau and Johnson jumping ship. Will there be a trickle-down effect where other pro athletes consider similar leaps?
This whole scenario is a mixed bag. On one hand, I admire players for taking risks, but on the other, it feels a bit like they’re prioritizing cash over sport integrity. I feel a bit torn about it all.
As much as I’ve enjoyed the traditional tours, I think LIV Golf is invigorating the sport. The financial backing ensures they can put on some lavish events that could attract a wider audience. Here’s hoping it works!
