LIV’s format change shows they’re ‘hellbent’ on players making majors | Golf Central | Golf Channel

Everybody talks about LIV losing money — but the PGA Tour doesn’t make a profit either. The difference is the PGA Tour pulls cash from many stakeholders (sponsors, media, events), while LIV draws from one. In fact, the PGA Tour operates at a loss and carries billions in liabilities.
The Masters and Open Championship, allowing players such as Tom McKibbon to qualify via global events like the Link Hong Kong Open, is a new viable pathway for LIV players. It's a win-win: players earn a spot rather than being randomly invited.
First it was 3 rounds and shorts isn’t real golf.. they make the adjustments and they are still the bad guys… what a league for making changes to support their players… PGA of America you should maybe see what that looks like finally
So playing 8 events outside of the U.S out of 14 events is playing more than half their events in the U.S? Ok. LIV is going to continue to gain steam. My guess is the first 54 holes with be the team part and obviously the individual part. The final 18 will just be the finale of the 72 hole individual event. I think they will have a cut before Sunday's final round also…
Great. Real competition is good for golf. I hope it works as it will make the majors, really major events worldwide. Jay, Rory, Tiger have dismantled the PGA Tour in an effort to glorify themselves. I hope this helps heal the schism and let more people enjoy a wonderful sport, to play, to watch, to attend.
This whole LIV going to 72 holes is nothing more than them trying to make Brooks and Bryson happy. Next season is the last season for the first batch of contracts of those that brought the bills of goods that they were sold. OWGR pts is a real headache for those players that ran away.
72 holes was the last excuse for discriminating against LIV, now there's no excuse and golf needs to accept it. A lot of the best Americans are on the LIV tour, the ryder cup proved that and the pga copying a lot of liv aspects proves its successful.
Is it legal to operate a business at a loss in the US? So obviously anyone who joins is not a patriot to USA capitalism. Is there a future in simply printing money and giving money to sports teams? Obviously they're basing LIV in a different country. So its not under USA law. I dont think LIV should be allowed WR points if they run their business at a financial loss.
