Really strong field. Media makes it sound like there are no good players and this might be better than 75% of the PGA tour fields this year.

From last year’s Crushers, led by Bryson DeChambeau, to one of the new teams, the Range Goats, captained by Bubba Watson, many names were thrown into the mix.

But amongst all the excitement, fans were also infuriated with how the teams had been named. Many even claimed that children could have done a better job. And some refused to acknowledge the league teams as long as they had such ridiculous names, while others came out with their own suggestions.
This is so embarrassing. These names look like they were invented at an 11 year old’s sleepover.

My daughters 3rd grade softball league has some of these same team names.

There were also many PGA Tour loyalists in the crowd who went on to criticize the league. They claimed that the tour was far superior and that LIV could never hold a candle to it.

This is going to be awful compared to what's going on in PGA right now.

Whatever. Cannot compare to the real tour. @PGATOUR

For those who wonder, "how could a sport like golf get even less exciting?"
Well, LIV has the answer!
