I entered a couple dfs lineups for LIV this week for fun. It's pretty crazy how much it swings with everyone on the course at the same time kind of feels like playing zoom poker.
I like the team concept as well, but these names they came up with need to be made fun of relentlessly.

Team concept might have potential but not the way Liv is doing it. They could literally have me on 4 Aces instead of Pat Perez, and it would change nothing. Why not count all scores? Imagine if the Ryder Cup could just ignore half of the players' scores.

Also the way the teams are organized is a joke. A couple of stacked teams and then a bunch of no-name scrubs on the other teams. What happened to the weekly draft? Or at least a one-time draft to have some semblance of parity? How did Reed DJ and Gooch even get on the same team? They just decided? Probably the 3 best Liv players. Perez must've done something right in a previous life.

Serious question: How much money did Caitlyn Jenner get paid to show up at this weekend's LIV event ?

Crazy that Patrick Reed came in 5th and made more than Finau today.

And Pat Perez made more than the guys that finished T2.

What a time to be alive.

Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene leading a "let's go Brandon" chant from the crowd. Yep, no politics in LIV, it's just golf!

It's been clear for some time that this is their strategy. Embrace all the dipshits and fools that have somehow fallen upward in this bizarro world. The players they have brought over are generally unlikeable by and large and having 2 tournaments on Trump property was obv intentional.

IDK man ticking off over half of the US electorate seems like an odd strategy but I guess never underestimate the stupidity of the american public has long been said for a reason

Not so crazy, the Saudis have unlimited money to lose.

The NYC conman is now the Saudi muslims best friend. I did not see this coming, but money can buy anything from the nyc conman.

If you told every person in the crowd 12 months ago that they'd be supporters of Saudi muslims, every one of them would have denied it.

Now, the nyc conman has turned a bunch of white supremacist into Saudi muslim lovers, only in murica folks, smh !!

Anecdotal at best, but I feel like it’s already losing steam. I follow a TON of golf aligned Twitter accounts, and the only thing I saw about this past tournament was about Trump’s horrible golf etiquette. I don’t even know who won?

Yes it's completely anecdotal. If you don't know who won the last event you just don't follow golf or sports in general.

This is dumb. Who won on the Euro Tour this weekend? The Challenge Tour?

LIVtard exhibitions aren't on TV and it's hardly inconceivable one could not know or not care and still be a golf/sports fan

Honestly Liv is getting a lot of publicity but none of it is about the golf. It's all the behind the scenes stuff... who are they signing next, how much money are they getting, etc.

As for the golf itself, at least so far, almost no one cares because it all feels like an exhibition. Who won last week? Are they playing this week? Next week? Who knows? Who cares?

It was literally on every sports website and ticker Sunday/Monday. If you didn't know who won you don't visit any sport websites or watch any highlight shows.

Cool? Then you don't follow sports or professional golf. I received 4 alerts from different sports apps/websites, saw it on the golf channel ticker and read it all over golf Twitter.

I play and watch lots of golf. I know Schwartzel won the first one but no clue after that. No interest from me at this point. Maybe if they get owgr points ill tune in.

The Golf Channel app never has any scores from LIV, they do have news regarding defectors however. But never any results. ESPN does usually have a story about the event. Once a day I do check the LIV website just to see which slut and slut team is winning.

And if I wanted, I could rattle off various tournaments and tours and relevant historical results that you've never heard of before trying to make you feel as though you know nothing about golf. And I'm good at it. Don't tempt me.

I watch a ton of sports on TV and did not see a single highlight from the Liv event. The only footage I saw was of Trump, Let's Go Brandon, etc. Not a single highlight of Henrik or anyone else playing golf.

Which follows what I've been saying... Liv is doing a pretty good job of keeping itself in the news despite no one caring at all about the actual golf. At some point though, there has to be a reason for golf fans to actually want to watch them play golf. It can't all be about, "hey did you hear Pat Perez made a million for finishing in 38th place? Isn't that something?"

Maybe if they sign actual top young players, and do away with the shotgun start, and get a TV deal... right now it's just an exhibition among mainly older pros, that no one cares about.

It was reported by the golf channel in the Monday scramble article, literally a picture of the winner in the article caption.

What's your point, Do those various tournaments and tours have some of the top players on the planet in them?

Anyone that consumes mainstream golf news regularly and claims they didn't know who won the event last weekend is lying.

Please. I watch golf all the time. I read about it a ton. Like someone else, all I know is that Schwartzel won the first event and made a boat load. And no, I'm not lying.

i don't know who won LIV, and i watched around eight hours of golf programming this past weekend, and probably a fifth of my IG feed is golf related.
i can tell you who won the Rocket and i didn't watch a second of it.
i can also tell you who won the Women's Scottish at Dundonald, the US Jr Am at Bandon (not Brandon), and the Sr Open Championship at Gleneagles (yes that was two weeks ago, but there wasn't a Champions event this past weekend)

I'll put this in spoilers so the people who plan on watching the LIV coverage later don't get mad.

Spoiler:
Former Ryder Cup captain Henrick Stenson won.
