Driving past the noise in LIV Golf with analysis others might miss - just like we all three-putt every now and then

I‘ve decided to adapt my profile to be mainly about LIV Golf

- Why? I want to share my passion for LIV golf with you

- What to expect? Regular posts and my personal views of all possible angles others might miss and a few threads about interesting stats/hot takes

@ArtistGolferJon The best thing about losing PIF funding might be that they can get rid off those „not pretty“ saudi-green color schemes

@MattVincenziPGA Might play it in winter after some indoor golf simulator fun. Turn on a random LIV event and go for it 😅

[Three Putt by JF @JFloiss]

It is crazy how he saves it all after those tee shots 😅
Just rewatching the round with my friend and we might have created a dangerous „Cam“ drinking game
- fairway missed (you drink)
- par saved (you drink)
- birdie (you drink 2x)
Would have to stop watching after 4 holes today

[Matt Vincenzi @MattVincenziPGA]

Cam is a madman. Hasn’t been within 20 yards of a fairway and is under par at Valderrama

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Also, I have a lot of details on what I expect LIV Golf 2.0 to look like and the future of the league. I’m currently working back through transcripts and notes to cross reference information and will be posting several times over the next few days 👍

For me, Rachel is easilly the best thing about every LIV round. Great interviewer, incredibly pretty, fun to be around,… No wonder all players like to talk to her 😉

@thegolfeditor @LIVTracking I think it would be about damn time to drop their „exclusivity“ bullshit regarding merchandise and get it in as many stores as possible. Bryson and Rahmbo merch alone can bring in good money that is needed anyway 😅

[Golf Lover UK @GolfloverUK]

What does @JonRahmOfficial the @LegionXIIIgc captain think of global golf?! He was asked at Valderrama and gave a great answer!

Question:
From your experience and your global vision of golf as a member of the European Tour, having been a player on the American Tour, and in recent years a LIV player, what do you think the impact of LIV has left on world golf? What has been LIV's contribution to world golf over these years? How has it changed it? And what things, good or not so good, do you think LIV's journey leaves behind for golf? Thank you.

Jon Rahm:
Well, there are a couple of things, right? First, especially in certain countries, if they have a national team, the public is always going to follow a team. They are always going to have that team to follow. What we saw in Australia and South Africa, even a bit in England, was very beautiful. And, well, those are parts of the world where they want to have good golf, which they might not have had the luck to experience, and the fact of having good players and a team to follow has worked out very well for them and made that week very emotional for them and for everyone, and very beautiful.

What I would highlight the most about the transition to LIV, in general, is the hunger there is for golf around the world.The European Tour does play all over the planet, but there is work that can be done there so that the best players in the world play all over the world, like Formula 1 has done, like tennis does.

It's such a beautiful sport that I wish there were more bigger tournaments in Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, China, Japan. I understand it's difficult to travel more, but it's part of the sport where spectators have a massive hunger to see good players, or the best players, or world-class players, which they might not have had until now.

Sergio Garcia at Valderrama:

-He averages a ridiculous +3.02 strokes gained per round on the field over 25+ years.

At Valderrama vs career per round averages:
+10.3% Driving Accuracy
+5.3% GIR

One of the most dominant course records in golf. 🏆

@jamierkennedy How about citing the explanation also?
Still enough room in your tweet for it…

[Three Putt by JF @JFloiss]

Agreed, this promo hits hard 🔥

Maybe (hopefully not), this is the last chance to see so many of worlds best players in Spain at once…
DP seorld Tour just can‘t deliver this level of stars and the PGA doesn‘t care anyway 😉

This LIV Golf Andalucia promo hits HARD ⬇️ “Welcome home, Sergio” 🥺

LIV Golf Korea Final Thoughts:

1) In an event that featured much bigger and more energetic crowds than last year's tournament, Joaquin Niemann outlasted Talor Gooch in a playoff battle between 2 of LIV Golf's biggest success stories!

2)Joaco is now an 8 TIME CHAMPION on the LIV Golf League and it was great to see him back on top! Love seeing the enthusiasm from his wife as she ran onto the green to jump on him after the win, and then seeing Joaco's backflip after! No matter of LIV exists next season or not, the story of LIV will not be able to be told without talking about the great Joaquin Niemann. His 2nd shot on the playoff hole was pure class!

3)I somehow felt a little nostalgic seeing Gooch battling with Joaco. Talor is also such a massive part of LIV Golf history, and with the current state of the unknown of LIV's future it just felt right seeing these 2 guys at the top of the leaderboard!

4)Bryson Dechambeau gave it a great run on Sunday and came up just short individually, but he and his Crushers teammates came out on top for their record 10th LIV Golf team title! Australian Travis Smyth filled in for Paul Casey and was great and finished in the Top 10!

5)After back to back 70s to start the week, DJ fired 64-66 over the weekend to storm back to finish 4th! His game had been looking better and better lately and that's a good thing for golf and for LIV!

6)Cam Smith faded down the back 9 on Sunday, but he spent most of this event near the top of the leaderboard and his game is looking shockingly improved ever since his switch to Claude Harmon. Cam is one of my favorite golfers and the golf world is a better place with him in form!

7)I continue to admire the galvanizing spirit amongst the golfers ever since the announcement of the ending of the PIF funding. The vast majority of these guys love this league and absolutely love their teams. If LIV survives, I think the defiant spirit of these golfers will be the reason why. I think investors will notice this and will be impressed by it.

8) this was such a great and beautiful looking golf course and the crowds really showed up to support this year! I know the modern trend is to take trees out of golf courses, but I think that these courses like this one are just so much more beautiful! And the course really stood up to the test and was a worthy host! Korea is such a growing market for golf and it was awesome to see much bigger crowds this year! During the round, Rachel Drummond interviewed LPGA Hall of Famer Inbee Park, and Park mentioned that she had been to many tournaments in her life but that this LIV one was a great, special, and different atmosphere. There is a place for LIV Golf and I'm really hoping and optimistic that it will survive.

9)The realization that the Any Shot Anytime feature was removed from the app as part of the strategic new plan for financial viability was a hard blow for many LIV Golf fans. I personally didn't use that feature much, but plenty of my LIV Golf fan friends loved it. As is the case with many things in LIV history, the communication was not good from LIV about this one. I understand the need to scale back, but some of these changes are going to be tough pills to swallow. I just feel thankful that the awesome broadcast team that we have had for so many years, especially Arlo, Jerry, David, Su Ann, and Rachel, are still there and still giving us such a great broadcast.

10)I'm excited that LIV is heading to Spain for one of the greatest events of the year on one of the greatest golf courses in the world! I hope the Spanish fans show out this year and help make this one one of the great events like it should be on the tour!

Unpopular Opinion “quiet people” are actually very talkative people who learned the hard way that it’s not safe to be everybody’s friend.

@RedHarrington44 By now I‘m not even sure he would play better if he finds fairways regurarly 😅

LIV Golf’s all-time wins leader is tied for the lead in Korea & hunting 🏆 number 8!

[Three Putt by JF @JFloiss]

He is THE one-liner king of golf commentary. Or Pandora‘s Box - you never know what you will get, only one thing is sure - it will be funny 😉

[Luke Elvy @Luke_Elvy]

Nothing irrelevant about him, he’s still delivering delightful one-liners & entertaining golf fans. It’s the PGAT only stans that are missing out on his brilliance. Their loss.

[Crushers GC @Crushers_GC]

Ready to get after it! 😤

Travis Smyth has replaced Paul Casey for LIV Golf Korea after withdrawing due to discomfort in his wrist.
