The Controversial Rise of LIV Golf

If you’d like to support me further, consider joining my Patreon:

Once upon a time, golf pros came together under one umbrella to compete in all tournaments.

Records were broken, prizes were won, and endorsement deals were sealed due to the golfers' sterling performances. Things couldn't have been better on the PGA Tour; it was almost like a monopolistic system where the Tour called the shots, determining who stayed and who left. I mean, they could do no wrong, right?

But a few decades later, a new golf league was proposed to rival the PGA Tour, and to everyone's surprise, one of the Tour's sworn enemies was elected to lead the rebel league.

LIV was not set up to be a rival league! LIV was SUPPOSED to be a very select few tournaments for a very select few golfers to play for huge money. It was only when the PGA Tour decided to ban any of their subcontractors from playing in these "elevated events" that they (Norman and the Saudis) decided to create their own breakaway league.

I was expecting this channel to have millions of subs lmao

Cant blame someone who plays golf for a living, to choose the option that gives them more money.

This video is absolutely amazing, cannot wait to see this channel grow. Keep it up!

[waterall]

I clicked on this video thinking it had hundreds of thousands of subscribers, it’s insane you have this high quality videos with so little subscribers. Keep it up!🙌

They kept 75% of the money LOL damn. And I thought my boss was stingy.

Sad the PGA couldn’t embrace a world golf league or tour. Could have grown the PGA even more.

Please don't forget me when you have done it

Honestly this is the best time in the history of golf. Not only is there a more exciting league to watch, but players are making more money than ever!

[SpittUp]

Competition between leagues will only lead to players getting a higher percent of the profits. Golf is unique from other sport leagues such as the NFL and NBA as on the PGA you don't sign with a team, have a contract, or have leverage to request a trade or a raise. Love the competition and hopefully the players will continue to get a larger slice of the pie and autonomy to play whichever tournament they would like.

PGA, show your bookkeeping, like the MLB, NBA, NHL, soccer the men at the top are slave masters,

LIV knows how to treat its slaves
