***2022 PGA Tour Thread***

The league will launch with six teams each consisting of 3 PGA TOUR players. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are the first two golfers committed to compete.

The custom-built arena will combine a data-rich virtual course with a state-of-the-art short game complex. TGL will offer a high-tech, high-energy fan experience with fans sitting greenside.

The inaugural TGL season kicks off January 2024 with a 15-match regular season, followed by playoffs and championship match

I guess I'm having trouble visualizing this. They are playing golf on a super-fancy simulator in front of a crowd? I'll be interested to see how it looks, but I guess I'm not convinced I want to watch simulator golf.
 
What is the point of LIV if no one watches? The Saudis aren't just going to throw money at it indefinitely with no ROI. It's a bunch of glorified exhibitions with no stakes (because the players are paid up front) and it's difficult to watch.
NFL players are paid upfront, is the whole season a glorified exhibition?

I like it that this new league will only allow PGA Tour players.
 
I can't stand Phil, or the LIV Tour, but how this is all playing out only shows that Phil was EXACTLY right about virtually everything he ripped the PGA Tour for.

We're seeing now that indeed the PGA was sitting on piles of cash and not sharing enough of it with the players when they could have been. But Phil is still a greedy SOB. He made a s**t ton of money on the PGA, gambled it all away, and then whined about not getting paid enough. What a piece of work.
 
Well, it looks like the Tour Championship won’t be exciting to watch today. I’ll probably still tune in a fair amount though.

And crying about the amount of taxes he pays, a PGA tour staple for decades.
 
And Scheffler's 6 shot lead going into the Final Round is gone by the 7th hole.

Didn't they just recently sign a new TV deal?
 
It sounds like Cam Smith, Marc Leishman, Harold Varner, Joaquin Neimann, Cameron Tringale and Anirban Lahiri are 6 of the 7 defecting to LIV. Mito Pereira might be the 7th. Does not sound like Matsuyama, Young or Scott are leaving.
 
What's LIV doing this week?
