🗣️👀⛳️ #COMPLETELY UNTRUE — Bryson DeChambeau responds to reports that he is exploring an exit from LIV Golf, in an exclusive with @flushingitgolf. “It’s completely untrue. I’m working as hard as I can to find a solution… “I'm committed to making team golf work in the best way possible. I think there's a place for it in the ecosystem and I want to continue to grow the game across the world. That's always been our mission and it’s never been more true than now.” @BrysonLegion
I think two lessons from LIV will be ... 1. You can't solve time problems with money. It took 40 years of playing the Masters before people *really* started to care. You can't speed that up by signing big checks. You can't microwave history. 2. A modicum of humility goes a long way. Thumping your chest out of the gate and saying "we're gonna redefine a 200-year-old sport over the next few seasons" is not a good strategy. It might eventually be true (spoiler: it wasn't), but it does the opposite of what it probably feels like it's going to do. Most fans are smart, and immense hubris is rarely attractive in any business setting.
Some have called Arlo White smug & David Feherty slamming LIV Golf reports as "nonsense" suggests media have made too much of it - thoughts? Seems like a good old fashioned bit of "fake news" deluded deflection but they've got a job to do I suppose
