Golf is a humiliating and cruel game. The guy shoots 28, then lays the sod over a wedge.

Sorry Tommy, I wasn't watching the LIV tournament at Doral.  Was watching NCAA womens' march madness.

You spelled PGA Tour wrong. He's moaning about Denny Mac and his OT loss to AB.

I watched the Women as well. It was more compelling than the TOUR event. BTW I never have watched LIV.

It was far more entertaining to watch Denny McCarthy make 8 birdies to come from 6 shots back on the back nine than the boring women's basketball game...


Bummer he hit that shot - he played incredible for 9 holes.

Nerves can get the best of you . Easy to use the hands and tense up  and stop using the body to rotate . I did find it interesting the guy Bhatia who won asked to have his shoulder tapped right after that shot !!

My heart sank for him when I saw his ball sink.

If so, how?

On the app. The app is a good app. I downloaded it to see how it worked, and watched for a bit. It may be the most successful thing they've done, beyond give money away.

LIV is easy to watch on the weekend - it's on the CW network.  I watch most of the events in our time zone and flipped back and forth this weekend.  The leaderboard was stacked, so if you like watching good golfers there is a lot to enjoy!

In the future, I'd appreciated it if the thread title indicated that the thread was a spoiler, and to what tournament, as most golf news discussion groups do it.
e.g.
"OT: What!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? (spoiler to TPC San Antonio tournament)"

The CW or the CW app. I watch cable via Hulu and it's usually easy to find. Honestly their TV coverage isn't bad.


One thing I really like for LIV is the shotgun start. Wouldn't love it for a major but for a "normal" event its actually more entertaining, IMO.

How is a shotgun start anything but unfair and best suited to your local member/guest?

How is a shotgun unfair?  Seems more fair. Everyone playing at the same time under the same conditions. Please explain. I get that it isn’t traditional, but don’t get how that is “unfair”.

McCarthy is now a favorite of mine, 8 straight birdies and then chunks it in the water. Unbelieveable and I will root for him from now on
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

I usually use the LIV app, I have it set on my home DVR as well, but with my travel schedule being what it is lately, I watch it more on the app from my hotel rooms than at home on my DVR.   I love that flexibility of being able to watch any day of any tournament whenever I want to. 


Like with many things LIV just seems to by trying harder to make a product that is enjoyable to watch and easy to access.  I think the shotgun starts and concentrated action format appeals to my ADD as well.

How did this become about LIV? You know why LIV is 54 holes? Because if majors were 54 holes Norman would have won about 10…….


Golf can be cruel and you never know what’s going thru someone’s head. McCarthy is such a great putter. That 28 was amazing. Shame it ended that way.
