@mgferriersteeth @tntsports Seems to be a lot of fuss being made by the ‘media’, and a lot of reactive changes being made by the PGATour, all because of something that no one cares about apparently??!

@nkurlander @brysondech Who do I worship?
Let me guess, you’re going to turn this into something political? Something to do with Trump? What is it with you Americans and defining people by political view??!
It’s very strange.
English
@sambourke24 @brysondech I assume you're already on the school pedophile watch. You know, considering how all the people you worship or pedophiles.
English
@nkurlander @brysondech This guy needs to be added to some of school shooter watch list or something. That’s a serious amount of built up anger over people playing golf @nkurlander
English
@brysondech Sure. You pulled out because you were whining like a little girl about course conditions and you finally realized that you're playing in a joke, league on joke courses. I hope the PGA tour bans you forever and you spend the rest of your time making bullshit YouTube videos.
English
@3putt14 @TheRobertRiggs @LIVTracking @PGATOUR For a league that apparently only has 5 guys who can actually play, as well as having no one watch it apparently, the PGA Tour and its fans sure do seem very threatened and annoyed by its existence!!
English
@TheRobertRiggs @LIVTracking @PGATOUR Wins in a field where only 5 guys can actually play competitive golf don’t count as wins… LIV embarrassed itself and ruined the careers of many
English
Is it time for the real story?
The @PGATOUR is laying off 300+ employees and lowering tournament purses.
They planted a fake story to distract from their internal business problems becoming public.
Who wants more details?

@Takesmaster @ProGolfCritic @GaytonMcK @Sunshine_Tour @GolfRSA Surely it did a bit more to encourage those kids to play golf than the Valspar championship did?? No? 🤷🏼♂️
English
@ProGolfCritic @GaytonMcK @Sunshine_Tour @GolfRSA Gayton doesn’t have a clue . The SAGDA does good work. The Sunshine Tour also hands out +- 30 cards to players of colour each year through Q Schools to have more players of colour in fields. What about LIV this week helped black children in townships pick up the game of golf?
English
#LIVGolf CEO Scott O’Neil & The Minister of Sport in 🇿🇦 @GaytonMcK were asked about @Sunshine_Tour & @GolfRSA’s reluctance to participate in LIV SA. While Scott gave the politically correct answer, Gayton perfectly summarized what needs to happen in ALL of 🌎 golf. It’s not about the people running it. It’s about the sport itself & what it can do for the people & a country like South Africa. Absolute truth 💣 from Gayton! 👏🏽👏🏽
The 2 entities in 🇿🇦 have specifically said it’s their relationship with the @PGATOUR & @DPWorldTour that’s preventing their involvement - that needs to end ASAP - not just in 🇿🇦 but every country where @livgolf_league goes!
English
@OzzyRicho222 @AndrewKirbyGolf Just spend a few minutes with ChatGPT and look into the differences in business models and structures, between LIV and other global tours.
It will likely save yourself from showing the world publicly a lack of intellect and understanding on topics such as this
English
@sambourke24 @AndrewKirbyGolf Yeah 500 mil makes rahm jump through hoops and go against his very own words an morals..But dont dare tell him where to play otherwise 🤦🏻♂️ #sellout
English
Rahm making a lot of sense here
Always been a duel tour player
And he’s happy to play the DPWT minimum number of events like always
Never had to ask for releases
People can carry on - they just can’t accept change - golf has evolved
And will keep evolving
NUCLR GOLF@NUCLRGOLF
🚨🗣️😡 #EXTORTION — Jon Rahm TEE’S OFF on the DP World Tour with explosive quotes from Hong Kong, accusing the league of extorting its own players. “I don't know what game they're trying to play right now, but it just seems like in a way they're using us to -- they're using our impact in tournaments and finding us and trying to benefit both ways from what we have to offer, and it's just in a way they're extorting players like myself and young players that have nothing to do with the politics of the game…. “…I don't like what they're doing currently with the contract they're having us sign. I don't like the conditions….” “They're asking me to play a minimum of six events, and they dictate where two of those have to be, amongst other things that I don't agree with….” “I just don't like the situation. I think we should be able to freely play where we want and have the choice to play where we want and not be dictated what we do. Especially myself. I can't speak for others; only myself.” “I've always committed to play the minimum requirement, and I think I've played four events, including the Spanish Open, every year except one as a pro, and I commit to do that. That's not going to change. I still fully intend to do that…. “So I don't like the situation and I'm not going to agree to that. Now, I did tell them, funny enough, lower that to four events, like the minimum says, and I'll sign tonight. They haven't agreed to that. I just refuse to play six events. I don't want to, and that's not what the rules say.” (🎥 via @livgolf_league)
English
@OzzyRicho222 @AndrewKirbyGolf Surely you’re not that simple that you fail to understand the difference? 🤦🏼♂️
English
@AndrewKirbyGolf Rahm - “They're asking me to play a minimum of six events, and they dictate where two of those have to be, amongst other things that I don't agree with….” Haha meanwhile he HAS to play 14 liv events when and where they say but doesn’t complain about that! #sellout

@MrJaKaRa @livgolf_league @redbullau If it was the Saudis who did 9.11, why did you guys go and invade Iraq and Afghanistan in retaliation? Killing thousands of innocent civilians in the process.
The US just read the map wrong and invaded the wrong country twice did you?
???
English
@golfenjoyer445 @AndrewKirbyGolf @KylePorterNS @livgolf_league It obviously matters enough to him to not use the word doesn’t it?
English
@sambourke24 @AndrewKirbyGolf @KylePorterNS @livgolf_league I mean does it really matter? Anyone that can read can see that it’s a LIV event. LIV guys finally had something that everyone thought is cool and still are being insufferable
English
@AndrewKirbyGolf @KylePorterNS @livgolf_league The pettiness in not using the word LIV, really highlights just how corrupt the golf media truly is
English
@KylePorterNS Wins LIV Adelaide - fixed it for you

@PowerFade6 @KylePorterNS He literally just chased down and beat Jon Rahm and Bryson playing together in the final group.
I’d love to hear you try to justify how that is more of a joke, than if Bhatia wins tomorrow over the likes of Bridgewater and knapp.

@ProGolfCritic @XSpaces Lol. So now if something happens over the next X number of days you called it? Include a specifuc enough detail that we can look back at this post and confirm you had some advanced insight.

I really hope the information that I have is wrong or else we might spend the entire @XSpaces this week talking about it 😮. Oy vey. #StayTuned

@BIM_Monkey @ProGolfCritic @BrianKirschner_ @PGATOUR 100%!!
It’s amazing how he continues to be so vague and then pretend to have known all along after the fact
English
The CGM is gonna make today about the @PGATOUR because they’re paid actors and that’s what they do. So will the Tour.
But this isn’t about the Tour - if it was so great to begin with no one would have left. And they STILL have most of the same issues they had 4 years ago…
English
@r3turntospaga @TB5007 @Daniel_Rapaport Hmmmm yet Rory has said for years he wishes players would play a more global game and that he loves the Melbourne Sandbelt, but hasn’t gone back to play there for over a decade.
UNTIL they paid him 3 million+ this year to do so!!!

Mito Pereira announces his retirement form golf at the age of 30. Just 3 years ago he was 1 swing away from being a major champion. The margins in this sport...

@mikeclaytongolf @ewanports With that distortion by the equipment, it now means the masses (0 to 15 hcp) get to play RM closer to the intent of the original architect.
Surely that’s a better outcome, instead of it being too long for the masses, but suitable for 100ish elite players once every few years??
English
@ewanports If we’re judging architecture RM is clearly the best course not only in Melbourne but Australia
If we’re judging the ineptitude of the administration on equipment RM is the poster child for the intent of the original architect being completely distorted by the equipment
English
3 years ago I played RM West with my persimmon driver and it’s the perfect course for the old equipment. Every fairway trap is in play and asks you multiple questions. Rory is correct in that technology has spoilt, to a degree, such a fabulous design.

Rory McIlroy has doubled down on his view that Royal Melbourne isn't the best course in Melbourne, downgrading it to #3 after playing The Australian Open! He explains why to @TheShotgunStart podcast team. youtube.com/watch?v=dxthvo…

I’ve also made more enemies the last 4 years than I could possibly imagine. I don’t mind it though - comes with the territory when you’re critical of any establishment and speak your truth effectively.
I’ve also turned some adversaries into friends!
Keeps things interesting. 😂

@mikeclaytongolf @PeteBep I’m too young to go back more than 25-30 years.
But you’d have to think a teenage amateur winning over Nick O’Hern and a peak Greg Norman was better than last week.
Speith in a playoff over Cam smith and Hall, with Badds, Ogilvy and Fox all in contention was better also
