That's more about how poker is about the MONEY and not the title, and unlike golf where anyone in what'd be a high ICM situation is already rich enough where they could retire tomorrow if they wanted, there's usually a situation in poker where the money has significant implications for at least one player

If sponsors did fund a prize pool it would be as part of an invitational structure like LIV Golf.

The last time I watched live poker on TV was when Greg Merson won the ME. It was absolutely unwatchable. Every hand was some miserable 5+ minute tank for no damn reason. Nobody wants to see this. Even with time bank chips.

It's really that simple.
Those 99.9999 percent can **** off. I find high level chess boring so I don't watch it nor do I expect it to change so that I find it more appealing.

Personally that's the big problem I have with tv poker . The constant tanking makes tournament poker unwatchable.
