I have been watching the BMW PGA and for me Smith, Leishman , Niemann, Ortiz and Ancer should be in the team. Smith and Leishman for the foursome and four balls as they a re good in that format

deveryneville130d ago

I should also agree that USA need to think outside the box when picking the team. You pick a team that can gel not the top 10picks as that doesnt appear to work

michaeloc1126124d ago

Dosent offer anything to the game...and all the guys joined because they are greedy

I cannot see it surviving, and the biggest loser is the world as I cannot see the PGA picking up the slack

deveryneville102d ago

It will be Cam Smith as he has lost hisgame and I am an Aussie and loved him when he was on but he is not and may never be the same again.

deveryneville169d ago

From memory didn't about 6 pay their fines to allow them to play on the DP World tour, to answer the question I am not sure as you would think the big names will be offered some sort of deal

johnverrall11172d ago

Rahm. Was an absolute dominant force before joining and has only gone backwards since. He will be crying into his money.

No legacy.

Not sure it will leave behind much of one at all. The rival league which failed.

gramorris172d ago

Ultimately the best golfers are getting paid more. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing 🤷‍♂️

Well I have just read about the end of Sentry TOC in Hawaii. I have been watching this for ever not only for the golf but for the scenery. Now it gone because of ratings???? and expense. THat is terrible.Maybe PGA should float the idea of reinventing it again with LIV v PGA kind of turnament to bring the viewers back.

deveryneville166d ago

If the PGA have any sense they should get them back but how to do it is anyone's guess

deveryneville171d ago

Ok before anything lets see if it goes. Given the PIF as bank of 1 Trillion Dollars or 1000 Billion Dollars so spending 5 Billion is like chicken feed to them so we will see what happens

johnverrall11231d ago

I think it's hard to ignore him at this point. He has just made himself a major story, and I'd love to see how he would get on round Augusta.

deveryneville200d ago

I believe Jon and Bryson will make the biggest moves as the and y seem to be enjoying the 4 rounds again. But I will throw in Cam not because he is an Aussie but according to the LIV stats he is back to the best putter again and his driving and scrambling are in the top 5 which I was even surprised by . He is the wild card

deveryneville225d ago

I am going to go with Cam Smith who seems to have got his MOJO back. But will wait and see

chillout241d ago

Rahm - he is due a run of form.

pmidour243d ago

Stupid question

gbeale58248d ago

I love LIV golf and have watched since they first teed up. I was wearing out my remote forwarding through all the golf channel crappy coverage. Short memories, Koepka’s knee was a disaster. LIV gave him a place to play. Maybe Reed didn’t get what he asked for, not sure DJ too upset. Enjoy time with family as you’re spending the year in Europe, etc.

antony.martin249d ago

They are finished as a serious tour. However, the Saudi's will just keep pumping money in. They have to accept they're no longer in competition with the PGA TOUR, but rather the DP World Tour.

gbeale58245d ago

Yes, but he’s not really the player I’d be riveted to watch if he were in the hunt on Sunday. A good villain, but who’s his nemesis — the whole tour!

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Too many unanswered questions throughout his career. I remember the retired tv commentator from Hawaii saying he personally witnessed three violations on the tour. I put him below Hatton and above Garcia who should never be allowed back in the PGA.

jamesshearman23252d ago

I actually think he comes across well whenever I listen to him so maybe he is unfairly treated

jamesshearman23252d ago

Tom McKibbin will go from strength to strength on LIV, especially with Rahm and Hatton as teammates

johnverrall11253d ago

Tom McKibbin looks like he could have a big future

jordan.harris253d ago

agree with Tony, I think Puig is in with a real chance of being at the 2027 Ryder Cup

pmidour221d ago

The LIV haters talk such bilge. Remove the blindfold and you might enjoy a great alternative to the other tour. Anyone who can't admit LIV Adelaide is the best tournament of the year as voted 3 years running isn't a genuine golf fan.

jamesshearman23258d ago

It's just meaningless. I don't care about the teams or the events. You can't compare Cleeks GC winning in Singapore to Rory McIlroy winning at Pebble Beach.

steinfeld101259d ago

The finishing holes are designed to put maximum pressure on the participants. Head on competition creates excitement. The players sold out for money. Conclusion - not interested. I watch at least 20 PGA events a year. Never watched LIV. Not appealing. Phila nd Sergio are two reasons not to watch. Zero class.

2. Just shocking really. LIV is dead

deveryneville263d ago

I reckon 8 out of ten, they lost Brookes but have added Canter and Detry, but more recently add An and Smylie who both want to grow golf worldwide not only in the USA

jamesshearman23263d ago

1/10. Lost one of their big 3 players and couldn't even convince Penge or Bhatia to join.

walkercharlie828263d ago

Has to be a big name. Maybe they could sign JT, but they'll be clutching at straws now!

antony.martin263d ago

Xander! Penge would give them a lift as well!

jamesshearman23263d ago

Their offseason has been an absolute disaster! The only way to save it would be a big name like Xander Schauffele

antony.martin264d ago

If he wants to be consistently competitive in the majors, he needs to return to the PGA Tour, it's as simple as that.

deveryneville264d ago

For me Bryson should stay and they all should stay. To me its like the PGA trying to get the good ones only back to the PGA tour to improve it. As someone else said they are now in separate tours like PGA and DP where players can interact. Why not lt LIV PGA and DP interact

jamesshearman23264d ago

Yes! LIV is finished and I want to see Rory vs Bryson more often

peter.lynch271d ago

The 54-hole change has obviously helped a lot, but minimal points imo

antony.martin276d ago

They deserve ranking points now, but they should accept that their poor strength in depth means that OWGR points will be minimal

jordan.harris276d ago

Have the team event played as a separate round. It doesn't work having both at the same time

jamesshearman23284d ago

I appreciate JT’s answer. I think that’s how most golf fans feel

leeconnor287d ago

Bryson needs to come back at some point. As does Rahm. But other than that I don’t think too many others are missed.

peter.lynch288d ago

Yeah Phil can stay!

jamesshearman23284d ago

A polarising character! It’s a shame that most people have forgotten what an amazing player he was

tomcav109293d ago

The Shark is an icon. He has enhanced golf his entire life. The boys on the PGA should thank him for their payday boost. Quit acting holier than thou, the PGA is in communist China for crying out loud!

lee.connor294d ago

Most will likely just remember him as a great golfer. The LIV stuff might have an impact in some way but for what LIV needed him to do, he actually produced the goods.
