I might be in the minority here but I actually wouldn’t mind watching @WTGLgolf if literally nothing else were on any other channel and my internet was out and every business in the world were closed.

Nobody cares about this but it’s obviously going to keep happening until they upgrade from the cheap launch monitors they’re using, which will never happen.
There’s a reason you never see Full Swing monitors on ranges at professional events.

Michelle Wie West was not very happy with how the WTGL/SoFi Center tech picked up her 98-yard wedge shot.

At least PGA Tour fans, LIV Golf fans, YouTube Golf fans, and DPWT fans can all agree on one thing:
The @WaysToGolf guy is a complete loser.

I am considering trading my stack system for the HiiTS golf system. Seems like the training would more directly correlate to increased ball speed if I’m actually hitting balls.
Just makes sense?

That's now how normal, healthy people say "good job bud". That's how my alcoholic uncle says it after 16 miller high lifes.
No doubt those closest to him are still enabling this nonsense.

Did all of the angry people in the comments listen to this video? Turn your sound up. Is that how Tiger usually talks?

This response is hilarious. It would infuriate me if I were Eddie. It’s perfect.
Sergio Garcia has responded to Eddie Pepperell’s comments about him last week in an interview with Golf Magic:
“I’ve always liked Eddie. I hope that he finds his game, obviously he’s been struggling and when that happens you take your frustration on whatever you can.
“I ying, but at the end of the day, I am just focusing on what’s ahead and being back on the DP World Tour and doing my best, and being the best version of myself on and off the golf course. I want to support the Tour as much as I can and hopefully help the Tour become better and better.”

I've always been primarily a PGA Tour fan anyway. While some may criticize the broadcast for not showing many shots, I think it's better that way. My favorite podcast is No Laying Up (Soly is so quirky with his stats haha xD) and my favorite player is the great Rory McIlroy.

Now that #LIVGolf seems to be officially dead I can share the deepest darkest secrets I've learned about the company while at the events, like how they would host celebrities and athletes on the Monday after an event, where they'd all play the course, and you could just show up with your clubs and everybody would assume you were part of that and you could just walk on and play for free and be treated like royalty.

First thoughts:
Much of how I felt when there were other signs of this, is how I’m feeling now. The game of golf will be less interesting, have less long-term upside, be less global, and have less innovation. The incentive to push boundaries will be gone. The DP World Tour will see a short-term influx of talent followed by a continued talent drain until they eventually have to further integrate with the tour and sell a portion of their Ryder Cup ownership.
The bulk of those that celebrate it as a win for the game either a) don’t care to or will never understand, or b) won’t be around long enough to see why it’s so clearly not that.

The Financial Times is reporting that BC Partners is set to drop its bid to invest into LIV Golf 2.0 due to lack of player commitments. The next bankruptcy hearing is tomorrow when more details will become public. The PIF is expected to liquidate the remaining assets.

From all of the conversations I’ve had in the past year, I think there’s a good chance Scott O’Neil may have been overconfident in the potential of LIV Golf if left on an island, but I’m also very sure that Kinnings consistently lives up to the “Lie Kinnings” nickname.
Both are partially responsible for the ongoing divide in global golf, but they aren’t the only two, and their cumulative roles in it don’t add up to the influence of the PGA Tour and the “strategic partnership”.

With the exception of winning golf tournaments (hard but very important), @MajesticksGC was the prime example of what team golf can deliver.
Great branding, fun atmosphere, a charitable initiative empowering underserved communities. Four players leveraging their resources towards one collective goal. The gold standard.

Majesticks captain Lee Westwood believes LIV Golf did “grow the game” around the world. He also says that along with his former co-captain Ian Poulter and Majesticks GC Team Principal James Dunkley, they will fund the Little Sticks program through the end of next season.
episode of The Chipping Forecast, Lee said:
“Just on the subject of the growing the game and all that, I think LIV to a certain extent did grow the game. You look at the tournaments in Australia and South Africa.
“When you think how those tours were 25, 30 years ago when the PGA Tour and the European Tour to a certain extent didn't play end of season stuff and it finished in October, and they didn't play Dubai and places like that.
“You think how vibrant and successful the Australian Tour was and the South African Tour and the Japanese Tour, you know, massive tournaments that I went down to, you know, the Dunlop Phoenix, I finished my season playing those, and then going down and playing Australian Open. They got good fields down there.
“Those tours have been decimated by a year round schedule on the other tours. So to a certain extent LIV did grow the game.”
He went on to talk about his own charitable contributions and the work with Little Sticks:
“I’ve been playing the game of golf for 33 years. I think it is as a professional coming up. And I have been growing the game for 30 odd years. You know, I've played all over the world, which I consider is growing the game. When I've been world number one, I've gone to other places around the world.
“I've had golf schools, golf academies, in Cheshire and in Stoke-by-Nayland.
I've given back a lot to the game of golf. So, that insinuation that, you know, people weren't growing the game on LIV. You know, a lot of us have been growing the game for years.
“I'm very close to lan Poulter, who's on the same team as me. Look at the stuff he's done with DreamFlight and the amount he gives back to charity and all the junior competitions.
“Last week, I was at Close House presenting some prizes to a junior golf competition, which evolved from the British Masters being held in 2017. So, growing the game is nothing new to me. It just, we started a project called Little Sticks through Majesticks because in our budget for Majesticks, there was a certain amount of money set aside that we had to use for charitable contribution.
“And we started Little Sticks from it. And that project, even though the funding's gone, myself and lan and James Dunkley are going to fund it for as long as we can afford to, certainly next year. And that project is in 300 schools in the country, affecting the lives of 40,000 school kids.
“It's on their school curriculums and they're doing it as part of PE. Now, these are kids that don't even have, some of them don't have, are in inner city schools and they don't even have grass to play on. And we've taken golf into those inner city schools all over the country. And we're now funding that.”

Love this from @AnthonyKim_Golf.
Not even sure it matters if you’re an “aggressive” player or not.
Comes from the “every putt is straight” school of thought and could be massively beneficial to players at all levels.

Everyone in the #LIVGolf world is a star when you're writing negative pieces, even (all due respect) Yosuke Asaji and Sam Horsfield.
Never change, Today's Golfer.
