However, when a fan recently posted a picture to show the same to the world, an unofficial LIV Golf page decided to strike back. The page responded to the tweet by posting a video showing a pretty big crowd at the LIV Golf Miami tournament. Looking at the picture that the fan posted earlier, not even a single person could be seen standing outside the ropes. However, the page’s response claimed that the picture was taken from a certain angle to deteriorate the image of the new league.
“Anyone can take a selective screenshot to make it look like there are no fans on the course. You could do it for any tournament,” The page replied along with the video. It also said that looking at the live stream of LIV Golf tournaments on Youtube could provide a better judgment about the crowds present during the game.
Fans participate in the LIV debate
Fans have not left any opportunity to degrade the new Saudi-backed league ever since it posed a threat to the PGA Tour. However, the recent tweet got a few supportive comments about the new circuit as well. But most of the fans still chose to shoot taunts at Greg Norman’s tour.
The man who posted the picture of the empty field also responded to the page’s comments about the crowd.
That’s not a crowd! 😂😂😂
Some fans said that it was not fair to call such a small number of people a ‘crowd”. They even compared it to the number of people who come forward to attend average PGA Tour events.
If you call that a crowd you are sadly confused !
Funny how you guys always only show shots from near the main entrance where 1 tee and 18 green come together…you are just as bad as those saying no one comes - I was there today, the crowd was nothing great actually on the course
While the page simply tried to answer back and defend the league against all such comments by the fans.
Last week day one on the PGAT. The now new world number 1. Not much going on all week to be honest in that event.
However, there were a few who were also in support of the LIV Golf league and said they were all eyes for LIV tournaments.
One of my bucket list courses (it’s a big list) hoping to get down there next year. I don’t watch a lot of golf but lately when I do it’s LIV.
No matter how big or small the crowds are at the LIV Golf league, there is finally some acceptance for the new league among fans. However, fans being in support of the Saudi-backed circuit also means that it is now an even bigger threat to the PGA Tour. There are rumors that the two leagues might look forward to a merger soon. But as long as fans are supporting both leagues, the future is unpredictable.
