They have 48 golfers. They've already bumped several people.

Bubba is injured and not currently playing.

Bubba was a true shill today. You are a 2 time Masters champion. Have some respect for what allowed you to cash in. What a dick!

What happened?  Another pathetic press conference with a LIVer where a pathetic performance is given?

It’s still a bit cringe worthy when these guys get a mic stuck in their face and obviously have to appear like this is the most surreal experience they’ve ever encountered.

Scripted talking points. All are singing the same song they agreed to. Maybe Harold Varner was a bit more honest, saying it was more like the cash. But all are expected to toe the line.

True. And Bubba was strolling around the course with some deadpan commentating…I think he’s forgotten he wasn’t very popular on the PGAT.

What an exciting finish to the tournament! Oh wait! Yeah I didn’t watch. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I have no desire to watch greedy turncoats playing exhibition golf. Snoozefest.

I definitely don't care enough to find out, but scanning the leaderboard just now, whoever this dude is in DFL has a mildly amusing scorecard.

Ah yes! Now the players are allowed to wear short pants during competition. A sure way to make it look more like a weekend exhibition. Some of these guys look pretty silly playing in shorts. Please Phil, put your big boy pants back on. What's next? Probably letting them drive golf carts down the fairway. 😅

Liv needs coolers of beers on odd # holes. This is the only way it will be taken seriously. I am sure Brooks can get Mich Ultra as a sponsor

Pants as a requirement on the PGA Tour is lame to me anwlyways. I thought that way before LIV too as someone who got into the sport in his late twenties.

But it is a slippery slope. Maybe shorts are ok, but how long will it be until Patrick Reed is swinging his seven iron in a banana hammock?

Pants look better, and the sponsors prefer them. They are the true customers, so, they get what they want. You're the product.

I am all for shorts when playing golf, however I would say pants look more professional!

As iacas stated, what is a sponsor going to do with a pic of Lefty on the golf course in shorts. That imagine does not instill the idea of professionalism, especially when trying to tie it to investment services!

Nah.  He needs long pants so he can have a hole in his pocket to cheat and drop a ball.

Eeewwweeee! That's an image I didn't need in my brain!

For some rare balance on this topic, here a great interview with Rahm :

 

If somebody like this was representing the players instead of Tiger/Rory , we'd have a chance of actually solving this thing in a way that sees the world's best golfers playing together.

Huh?

I don’t think you listened to the whole interview @Moxley. Plus Rahm has been very critical of LIV players trying to play the PGA Tour.
