The PGA Tour for far too long has relied on the careers of long term journeymen on the Tour. Those times are changing and they're going to have to adapt to it. As it comes to OWGR, the TOUR is nervous with the legal actions because that governing body is subject to a lot of anti-trust review.

I'm a huge golf fan that hasn't watched a ton of LIV, I am struggling a bit to get into it though I think it's intriguing and I think it will continue to evolve. They've only had two events and are currently just flying by the seat of their pants. Give it a few years and we'll see what happens. Let's face it, the John Deere this past week was also a terrible field and a terrible event. The casual golf fan isn't watching that, either.

Lastly, LIV doesn't need to make money. Not only because the Saudis have more than enough to fund it, but because their goal is sports washing. If losing some money funding LIV helps them to continue to legitimize their reputation and allows them to continue to crack into other businesses around the globe where they'll make more money, then it's just a smart investment.
