Nick Faldo predicts the death of LIV Golf: ‘Nobody’s really interested.’
"They're not going to get the sponsorship that they want."
"They're not going to get the sponsorship that they want."
The people have spoken ...
"If we’re looking under the microscope or under the black light for the clean money, I don’t know that it exists"
"The dream of being in the right moment at the right time and getting unfiltered, true reaction to something so pivotal, we got lucky. I’d love to say it’s great planning, but nobody knew this was coming."
"Our business model will not change."
"Deep down, the PGA was just as spineless and corrupt as its competition"
"I did not communicate to very important constituents, including the families of 9/11, and I regret that."
"I am so sick of this PGA commissioner talking about 9/11. Buddy, it’s about the money. It’s only about the money. You know it’s about the money."
Trying to predict where the golf world goes from here in the questions that linger from the historic PGA-LIV merger.
The PGA Tour and LIV Golf could maintain their current tournaments or form something completely different. Who knows!
"The professional entities have sacrificed their principles for profit."
"I was offered six figures to do some reads for the LIV Golf Tour. I didn’t accept it. But, but, I didn’t badmouth other hosts that did."
"When they see the impact that we’re having on this game together, there will be a lot of smiles on people’s faces."
“After two years of disruption and distraction, this is a historic day for the game we all know and love."
Would LIV be more palatable to fans if Endeavor had taken the wheel from Saudi Arabia?
"The hope for LIV is to grow off the success first seen on YouTube in 2022, where the league attracted tournament audiences of several hundred-thousand views in the U.S. and abroad."
"Poor Brandel. He can rip me apart and countless others but as soon as someone shows his ignorance he can’t handle it. He’s softer now than he was as a player."
"While Brooks Koepka’s win at the PGA Championship was impressive, it should not distract us from the simple fact that LIV players are being used for the benefit of some very bad people."
"All he's trying to do is get his lines and shows for the Golf Channel."
Is Koepka a commanding enough figure to elevate LIV beyond a novelty act?
"They're not playing for money at the Ryder Cup, Brandel. They're playing for their country. He's an American."
"LIV Golf and CW Sports are learning together what will delight our fans."
Many LIV viewers on Sunday didn't get a chance to watch the end of this weekend's event in Tulsa.
Stations in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle, San Francisco, and other markets will not air The CW programming come September.
“Augusta National recognized that, and look what happened with their ratings when the LIV players came in. It was up 19 percent."
