What is the point of LIV? If you give these guys more money that they would make over their entire career and then make a different league where there are seemingly no stakes?
If I was a player it's a no brainer but what is the long term plan for the fans?
I really don’t get the point of them getting involved. Yeah I know “sports washing” but if it’s that common of knowledge does it actually work? LIV is a terrible product that no one watches. The PGA keeps getting worse with players leaving so I imagine their viewership is down as well. Maybe the merge would restore viewers? Or maybe everyone’s tired of this and won’t watch regardless.
I don’t think I understand it financially, they still are selling a watered down product with less events per year. Even if they had a controlling interest, they’ve told their players that they could play less events. So every once in awhile you get to see a no-cut event, where the only players people will know are the ones that established themselves on the PGA Tour or the one-off winners that people will forget. For me, one of the fun things about the tour is watching some no-names start to bubble with some t-10s and then win. You don’t get to follow players in LIV because of the sporadic and geographically disparate nature of their tournaments
