LIV Golf Chicago
Finished watching the second round of the LIV Golf event in Chicago and I will continue to say that LIV Golf is the future of professional golf.
The shotgun start, the music, the fans, the overall atmosphere of the tournament is refreshing and exciting.
I think the broadcast team still a work in progress, but the addition of David Feherty to the team has been a good one. He brings his humor and knowledge of the game to a ‘worry free’ environment where he can be himself.
I watched the broadcast on my computer and it worked just fine. No downtime nor disruptions. I even ordered a LIV Golf hat.
Not having to watch the lame broadcasting team of NBC Sports and the Golf Channel, with their phoney ‘white guilt’ commentary and ‘make believe’ commercials is a welcomed change.
McIlroy and Horschel can be Jay Monahan’s loudspeakers as much as they like, but the reality of LIV Golf is here to stay. Their silliness only makes them look petty, but if that is what rock their boats, by all means.
Straight golf, commercial free, less than 6 hour rounds, and woke free broadcasting, is a winning ticket.
If LIV Golf ever lands a broadcasting rights deal, that would be the end, in my opinion, of the PGA Tour and its grip on professional golf.
I am looking forward to tomorrow’s LIV Golf final round with Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith putting up a show.
Meanwhile, the highest ranking player at the PGA Tour opener, the Fortinet Championship, is Hideki Matsuyama at number 16th in the OWGR. Good luck with that!
Where is Rory and Billy supporting the PGA tour this week? Exactly!
