Pros
- Otherwise looking at finding a Liv bike to test ride. They seem to be one of the only companies offering women's specific designs.
Cons
- LIV is just farting into the wind
- There’s a substantial loss of prestige at the top, but guys like mito who got $20m? God no that’s an incredible achievement and investment no matter how worthless LIV is
- LIV was supposed to allow the players to have BETTER work/life balance. But between the LIV events (now 15 per year), mandatory LIV related events like sponsor events, DP World Tour events, majors and major-qualifying attempts, and now L...
- Add to that that they aren't getting world ranking points as promised, LIV has said they're not going to dole out huge upfront amounts on contract renewals, LIV hasn't become the big thing it was supposed to, their events aren't televise...
- I’ve tried watching LIV multiple times but I just find the leaderboard and commentary so off putting, end up flipping the channel after 5 minutes.

LIV was supposed to allow the players to have BETTER work/life balance. But between the LIV events (now 15 per year), mandatory LIV related events like sponsor events, DP World Tour events, majors and major-qualifying attempts, and now LIV tournaments being extended to 4 rounds, these guys probably aren't playing and travelling any LESS than they used to.
Add to that that they aren't getting world ranking points as promised, LIV has said they're not going to dole out huge upfront amounts on contract renewals, LIV hasn't become the big thing it was supposed to, their events aren't televised on any major channel ...

I love watching golf and still haven’t even come close to having the urge to watch LIV

They have to finish before football season or they'll get relegated to FS1 like liv
And yes, as a golf fan, it is perfectly reasonable to dislike LIV as they fractured the golf world, making a worse product for the fans (less talent on both leagues).
Its a golf carnival, and maybe a fun one; but its not compeititve and no one cares who loses or who misses iut. Sure theres all access. Yeah they cant sell a parasocial relationship and sell to the “i want to know what theyre thinking” crowd. And yeah they can creat a golf spectacle. But fundamentally its not competitive and no one cares because ultumately, players greatness is measured by what came before them.
