Do you like that they moved the PGA Championship to May or did you prefer August?
I'm a big fan of the move.. I love that we get 4 majors in 4 straight months now
No matter who or where you are playing, 58 on a Sunday to win is an incredible accomplishment! Congrats
@b_dechambeau
on your win today at the Greenbrier.
People who hate LIV golf are mad because men said they could have more family time & they think Bryson & Ancer were created in a lab.. they want the golfers to admit something.. I want the haters to admit no answer would be good enough for them
#LIVGolf
Serious question for all of the haters.. how can you be an expert on the LIV golf product if you never watch LIV? Hatred makes you people say some silly stuff
Taylor Gooch is correct.. there's a tiny asterisk next to all of the majors this season & that asterisk will slowly grow if the rankings & major qualifications don't get sorted out
LIV Golf had a forgettable Masters.
Yes, I already know you're going to bring up Bryson...
But combined, their 13 players went 82-over.
Bubba, DJ, Meronk, Schwartzel and Sergio all missed the cut.
But no one wants to talk about that...
But I will 📰
Everything Phil Mickelson is saying is correct and he's not even mentioning how Rahm complained about the PGA tour elevated schedule from the start, how Rory needed time off, how many other guys have complained or are burnt out?
Love LIV or hate it, it’s the best way/Tour to be your best in the majors. Enough events to keep you sharp, fresh and ready, yet not be worn down from too many tournaments or obligations. 14 LIV events, 34 weeks left open to prepare for the 4 majors. Fact.
The shotgun start in LIV golf gets ripped on a lot but it makes everyone play under the same conditions & team scoring would be boring without the shotgun start but with it the scoring can change drastically at any point during the final round
PGA tour stans who insulted me and the other LIV golf "bots" for a year now... hear your hypocrite leader one last time before you become hypocrites too
🚨🤝💰Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee says it’s time the PGA Tour complete a deal with the PIF: "So the time is now, to Rory's point about making a deal, I wouldn't have said that a year ago, but it is the better end of the bargain.”

The OWGR rankings are never going to be completely accurate again.. there's no way they're going to retroactively award OWGR points for LIV golf tournaments.. the majors should give exemptions to the top 10-12 in the LIV season long standings going forward
Phil wanted to do his own thing & the PGA tour wouldn't let him.. Tiger & Rory wanted to to their own thing & the PGA tour let them.. LIV golf haters NEVER present it this way
Brooks Koepka has more wins on LIV golf than anyone else but there's still the narrative that he only cares about winning majors.. the people who don't watch LIV are still living in 2022
I've probably watched 90% of the rounds of LIV golf and somehow people who never watch LIV are trying to explain the format to me? I've never seen so many people be experts on something they've never watched
This time a year ago Rahm looked unbeatable.. Scheffler is on a great run but maybe let him get his third major before we say he's better than guys with the same amount of major wins
@golfweek
Poor Brandel
He can rip apart me 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.
DJ, who's won on LIV this year, is washed & DeChambeau, who hasn't won on LIV this year, is one of the best golfers on the planet
This is the story you guys are selling but I'm not buying it.. DJ is far from "washed"
Hate to break it to Justin Thomas but this entire era of golf has an asterisk next to it.. the only thing that doesn't have an asterisk next to it in 2023 are the majors
You can't lose 30 of your top 100 players & think that history is going to judge wins the same way
Justin Thomas on The Players missing top LIV golfers:
"I'm not going to have an asterisk next to my name for winning this because the field wasn't too good."
LIV golf is finished because the PGA tour and Jimmy Dunne said so.. BUT Greg Norman said it's not going anywhere
I feel like the fans on both sides of this golf war should be a lot smarter.. have we learned nothing in the last year? Why should we believe ANYTHING they say?
Do you guys who comment on every LIV golf tweet really think you're convincing people not to watch? And I'm not talking to you douche bags who only leave "no one cares" I'm talking to the guys who are trying to argue every day all day over LIV
Every freaking Sunday the PGA tour moves from golf channel to CBS and there are PLENTY of Sundays where we get 30 minutes with no golf when the leaders are in the middle of their rounds but yeah let's mock LIV golf & the CW when they haven't even been around a year.. come on now
This is 100% wrong.. if the players were running under a LIV golf format today Scheffler is in the 2nd or 3rd to last group.. if he's in the 2nd to last he finishes on 18 if he's in the 3rd to last he finishes on 1
Is there a better case against a shotgun style championship format than what we just watched at The Players?
Leave the LIV vs PGA out of it, just the actual logic here.
In a shotgun, Scottie would have finished on hole 3 today!! 😢
A golf course is designed with a cadence.
Talor Gooch is the first person to get a major invite based on his performance on LIV golf
Major exemptions based on LIV's season long standings can't be too far away
There are people who love watching golf & are refusing to watch the final round of LIV golf Boston.. I can't comprehend being a fan of something & not watching
#LIVGolfBoston
#LIVGolf
On one side there's LIV golf fans mocking the Nick Dunlap win.. the other side says LIV doesn't offer the Dunlap experience
Chacarra won a LIV tournament in fall '22 and it's like I'm the only one who knows this

MOM — Bryson DeChambeau explains why he took the money to go to LIV: "People can say I moved to one side, but I did it for my family and what I had in front of me at that point in time. I think my mom would have probably smacked me for not taking the deal."
I completely disagree about LIV golf having a confusing team concept.. LIV have the perfect set up for team golf on Sundays.. every stroke counts & every one is on the course at the same time & that combo will deliver an exciting finish every tournament
LIV has its niche. Bin off the confusing individual/team Strokeplay mix and fully lean into team matchplay and take it AROUND THE WORLD. It’s the only way forward.
The cut line in the Genisis is a joke & it's just a way for the PGA tour to boost OWGR for their players
It's a 70 man field.. 50 golfers should not be receiving OWGR pts this week.. ditch the cut & award the top 35 plus ties OWGR pts
Anyone who has actually watched DeChambeau on LIV knows this is complete nonsense.. he literally mentioned how he wanted to win while talking about Lahiri today
Paul McGinley with some good analysis on Bryson DeChambeau being able to go from the lab directly to the course and contend in majors without too many tournament reps. Believes he’s not that interested in LIV results
Brandel chimes in with the “LIV is a part time job” ☠️
If I played on LIV golf I would refuse to answer any PGA tour questions & if I played on the PGA tour I'd refuse to answer any LIV questions
Just play golf & let the merger play out
Why do guys on LIV golf have to keep answering questions about their decision to join or if they're happy? Shouldn't they ask Rory if he's happy or ask if Willy Z regrets not taking the money every time they do an interview?
Tiger Woods on the difference between LIV and the TGL:
“Some of the stuff I've seen in LIV, I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Here it's very simple.”
He does watch it then! 😅
@acaseofthegolf1
OR, golf was broken and is in the process of being fixed. 🤷♂️
1) average age of pga tour viewer recently went from 60 to 65. 2)totally US centric and no plan to globalize opportunities. 3) monopolistic control of media rights wouldn’t allow for players to use YouTube and other
"Scheffler is the best since Tiger"
"Masters ratings are down so golf is dead"
"LIV golf didn't have a top 5 so all that money was wasted"
The overreactions to the Masters are at an all time high
Jay Monahan convinced some PGA tour fans that they were patriots for not supporting LIV golf & now they're happy that Jay Mohana is still in charge even though he made all those fans hypocrites.. they're BRAINWASHED like I've said all along
Matthieu Pavon made the right move not finishing first on 18 on Sunday, and Bryson thanked him after the round for allowing him to win it the right way.
@matthieupavon
Rory McIlroy drops some hints at what Strategic Sports Group might change about the PGA Tour.
—Improve on-site experience. Cites Formula One, which are basically weeklong festivals. More events around the golf.
—Improve TV product
—Bring everyone back together to serve fan
🚨👀⛳️
#UPDATE
: A statement has gone out to TOUR membership from Jay Monahan citing a “constructive” conversation today with PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan during what the PGA TOUR is calling its “due diligence process” for its selection process for PGA TOUR enterprises
CBS showed Cam Davis driving the green on 14 today I don't know why ESPN couldn't show Harold Varner yesterday and I'm not sure why some of the people in these comments don't want to see great golf shots
Tiger isn't playing 10 events on ANY tour
Greg Norman isn't going anywhere and IF he does it will be with a massive payout
The two things I frimly believe after today's hearings
LIV golf haters are very unique.. I never tweet about stuff that I don't watch or don't care about.. they constantly tweet about stuff they supposedly don't watch and supposedly don't care about
Riddle me this LIV golf haters.. how do you know how the course is set up if you do not watch the tournaments?
The PGA tour has had Pro-Am hole locations for multiple tournaments this year.. do these guys even know that?
@sportsinfive
What does it say about a tour where half the field can’t break par on a shortened resort course with wide fairways, no rough, soft greens and a 123 slope rating? Are you frickin kidding me?
Maybe if the PGA Tour let anyone besides Tiger and Rory have a voice this shit wouldn't have happened? Rahm definitely stays if that's the case.. Porter only looks at LIV from one perspective
Get all the way out of here with this.
Getting absolutely paid to create a chaotic mess for pro golf and then hollering about how other people need to be responsible for cleaning it all up because it's clearly above your pay grade. Come on.
