The new Saudi Arabia Golf Tour aka LIV Thread

[Sire366]

Has any

They got Matt Wolff. I think that's a huge signing. He, along with Morikawa and Hovland came in the same year with a lot of hype. He's younger than both of them, won in this third tournament and came in the top 5 twice in the majors in his first year.

He's got the the talent to be the best in the world but dude has been dealing with mental issues the past year and a half. He's only 23 years old. I think he couldn't deal with all the attention too quick.

Bro really said in an interview after he signed with LIV that he likes the fact he can shoot 90 and still get paid

has anybody been paying attention to Matthew Wolff the past two years?? Dude has played like sh1t and his issues isn’t mechanical, it’s that a dip in his game went to a huge slump because his mentality.. headcase on the course, from the conference and what I hear about him, this format in that it helps him is genuine.. can’t handle pressure


Big names next to come guaranteed is bubba Watson, kokrak, and Ricky Fowler.. but those guys best days are behind them too

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Yeah that would be huge. Between him, Rahm, and Scheffler, all under 30 and look like they're gonna add more majors to their resume. They would be big losses.

I think they are waiting another year or so until the backlash dies down. PGA is gonna lose more guys just a matter of big names.

Wolff is still a young proven top talent (still 23) and if LIV has any future he's gonna play a big part. All the other guys are broken with injuries and/or past their prime. Wolff is gonna be a cornerstone if LIV has any type of future.

He hits it a long way, has an unorthodox swing, and goes for high risk/high reward shots. He's the type of player that, if playing well, is a must watch on TV.

Read this and tell me, A GOLFER, with this issue, and being on LIV gets his game better to ever win a major (if he ever has a chance with sanctions coming)

Rory already softening his stance on LIV tour

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/07/07/rory-mcilroy-softens-liv-golf/

“Look, there’s so much chat about where the money’s coming from and Saudi and everything else, look — they sponsor so many other things and they’re all over sport,” he said.

“Aramco [the Saudi government’s oil company] are big sponsors of Formula One, the Aramco Ladies Series in golf, which has actually been really good for the ladies in terms of big prize funds and so on, so I understand people’s reservations with everything. But at the same time, if these people are serious about investing billions of dollars into golf, I think ultimately that’s a good thing.

Look at that private jet video and tell these LIV golfers they made a wrong decision. One dude finished tied for 29th in the tournament and won $900k cause he was on the winning team. They are individuals, looking to make money for them and their family.

I dont blame Russian tennis players, who are banned from Wimbledon because their government decided to go to war. Not their fault.
No one bans US players in any sport from the recent Roe v Wade reversal. The US is no better from Saudi Arabia or Russia. People need to get off their high horse. Let these players LIV

“Golf is a force for good,” DeChambeau said, “and I think as time goes on, hopefully, people will see the good that [the Saudis] are doing and what they are trying to accomplish rather than looking at the bad that’s happened before. I think moving on from that is important.”

Sportswashing comes to America

Sportswashing is nothing new, but now it's making its way to the United States.

This is the purest fukking example of sportswashing yet. "They paid me a ton of money.....look at all the good the Saudis are doing!"
