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.

I'm out of it for a while, and now there's another tour.

Except it’s 54 holes.

And he took a spot from Rahm’s friend only to WD.

Failed joke. But Sergio still a douche.

Column: Jimmy Walker steps away, LIV gives him path back | AP News

Jimmy Walker quietly stepped away from the PGA Tour in April, not sure whether it was lingering effects of Lyme disease or mounting frustration — probably both — that led to the decision. He just knew he needed to...

Looks like Justine Reed is back on social media….

Apple and Amazon join growing list of companies to pass on LIV Golf media rights

LIV failed to secure streaming rights from two of the biggest tech companies in the world.

Norman needs to admit that he’s going to be stuck with live streaming from one of Justine Reed’s Bruner phones.  At least he won’t be interrupted by texts from Patrick’s friends.  I’m sure they will make a deal with someone.at some point.  When you have a top 1,000,000,000 golfer like Pat Perez, someone is going to jump all over it.
