Thanks for the review of Murphy Murphy and the Case of the Commission on Cliches. You can read the whole thing here...

Jon Rahm no wins since 2023. Since then he has 10 top 10’s & 1 missed cut.
Justin Thomas no wins since 2021. Since then he has 9 top 10’s & 11 missed cuts
Jordan Spieth no wins since 2022. Since then he has 13 top 10’s & 12 missed cuts
But it’s Rahm who stinks bc of LIV
Honestly if you’re involved with a major championship, looking down the road at Bryson’s exemptions running out, and saying “nah, don’t want that guy in my major” you are an unserious person
If you loved what you saw out of

be sure to watch him at the
@livgolf_league
LIV Golf Houston in a couple weeks.
You can watch EVERY shot he hits LIVE all 3 days thanks to the LIV Golf+ App “Any Shot Any Time” feature.
NBC continues to cling to stories about Max Homa and Justin Rose but can’t bring themselves to show meaningful golf as

@PReedGolf
grind to make the weekend.

and now grumpy Curtis Strange on ESPN says "he's missed Dustin Johnson. I want to see him play." Good grief old man how about turn on a TV or download an App.
Watching Live From... Brad Faxon keeps spouting nonsense about "not being able to gauge" how LIV Golf League guys are playing. "You can't see them." There aren't any stats." This guy is either stupid or intentionally misleading the viewer. Pretty sure he's not stupid.
There are nothing but mostly idiots broadcasting this British Open.
Watching the Brooks/DJ feature group and they STILL say…
“We only get to see these guys 4 times a year”. “I miss watching DJ play.”
With ALL DUE RESPECT to these nitwits… piss off.
The league plays 14 events.
If you enjoy the
@espn
broadcast, and by that I mean watching THREE and only THREE people hit live golf shots then I understand how LIV GOLF League coverage might not be for you.
There was little, then zero drama for the last 90 minutes of the Wells Fargo. Now, what if Rory’s double at 18 meant Rory’s team lost the team title by a shot.
Don’t understand the folks that say the LIV Golf League isn’t additive or team golf isn’t compelling on Sunday
JUST MY OPINION (is that loud enough for the ones in the back?)
This is an awful watch.
It sucks that a tournament (a major no less) far too many times eliminates nearly half the field from a chance to win simply because a TV exec or a computer picks who plays early or late.
Winner at Riviera will finish at least a half an hour before the final pairing. 30 minutes of meaningless television ahead. Give me a shotgun start! :-)
Jaime Diaz is a clown. Talking on Live From just now he talks about Brooks not winning much outside of majors and never mentions the fact that he’s won 4 of the last 26 LIV Golf League events (15%)
Guy just can’t bring himself to be a real reporter.
good on
@JonRahmOfficial
for sitting through this presser and answering every single question about the league, the merger, Jimmy Dunne. Replying with class and grace.
Another great thing about the
@livgolf_league
shotgun start… just turned on Kapalua, best score on the golf course is T11. Showing every shot of Cantlay who is SEVEN back.
Doesn’t happen on LIV where everyone is on the course at the same time
@Jim_Everett
I was working at ESPN2 when this happened. Before this happened we were emboldened by management to be "irreverent" and "edgy". The very next day everything changed. I tell the story in my book, Cover Me Boys, I'm Going In.
@BeaconPubGroup
Appreciate all you folks on this platform.
Yes, i’m a fan of LIV Golf but welcome other perspectives. If you don’t like the league
I’m happy to change your minds.
Respectful dialogue is the goal
@acaseofthegolf1
I understand your point but that's a little unfair. It IS, after all, the Club Car Championship this week. We televised plenty of Korn Ferry Tour events, including the BMW Charity Pro-Am, at which a car was the hole in one prize.

Did I get it right?
Honestly there are many things I enjoy.
One is my conversations, back and forths, psuedo arguments with me friend
@JerryFoltzGolf
Another is these conversations with you all. No hate or vitriol just good old fashioned jousting.
Enjoy championship Sunday all
@TalkBirdie2Mee
There ARE 2 pro football leagues
There ARE more than 2 pro basketball leagues
There are SEVERAL pro baseball leagues
There is only ONE pro golf league (LIV)
But there are MANY pro golf tours.
Found this interesting with regard to the back and forth about Scheffler’s “star power”.
Final round of 2024 The Masters on CBS averaged 9.589m, down 20% from last year's final round that averaged 12.058m.

Just heard Steve Burkowski and another knucklehead on the Hatton stream say, “we don’t get to see Tyrrell Hatton as much as we used to…”
Do these people think WE’RE stupid? Because it sure seems THEY are.
I have opinions . Sometimes strong ones.
I told the announcers with whom I worked, “for the next three hours you can’t hurt my feelings and I don’t care if I hurt yours.”
Let’s engage. I hope we disagree. That, to me, is what makes this platform interesting
Once upon a time this Peerless Pete driver was my favorite club. Hit it long and straight. One day I had the bright idea to have Mr. Palmer sign it. As ink touched club I realized I’d never hit it again.
Did I just hear Brandel compare Rory’s driving to Simone Biles on THE POMMEL HORSE?
The Pommel horse is an apparatus the MEN use in gymnastics.
Hope he’s not in Paris.
Sheesh
One of the best things to happen to golf fans… Live Streams
One of worst things to happen to traditional golf producers… Live Streams.
Just magnifies how few shots are actually shown live.
Thrilled to open the mail today and receive this! It’s my
