Numerous golf fans from all over the world have stood by the PGA Tour despite their favorite players moving to LIV Golf.

Not that anyone asked me, but I have zero interest in watching that, just as I have zero interest in watching @LIVGolfInv exhibition golf.
Wait, what…??? Team exhibition matches…??? Who thought of that…??? Monahan…??? Lame……

Lol. Truly amazing the pga tour basically had to load tiger and Rory pockets with more outside income and made them owners of this and then pay these other guys more “exhibition”$$” as well.
Some stated that the tour has been making several changes in its format due to LIV Golf’s existence. And that was affecting the overall image of the tour. Although some highlighted a few good changes as well including better purses and schedules, they were still not in support of the TGL league. Moreover, some even called it “fake golf”.
Can’t wait let’s go. Ty LIV making the oga make some changes.
The creation of the LIV Tour has made the PGA Tour change their tour schedule, payment structure, and overall focus on players. But, this offshoot tournaments are kinda bizarre and lame.
