Boom or bust? PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf in flux but is it really thriving?
At the entertainment level, post-construction prosperity is maintaining. More and more people are playing, “Influential People” attracts dedicated follow-up events, and the latest season behind the scenes Docu series will fall on Netflix.
What do you don’t like? Tiger Woods made its latest comeback this week at Torrey Pines, when four Grand Slam Championships never had a strong game and we are getting closer to the first of the year A professional.
Last weekend, action was taken around the world, with a series of international golfers competing for huge sums of money.
Adrian Meronk of Poland won a cool $4 million (£3.2 million) in Liv’s season opener in Liyadh, Saudi Arabia, to win, while Tom McKibbin’s first game brought over $1 million in personal and team revenue to the young Northern Irish.
How long is it to be a male professional golfer.
Thomas Detry won $1.67 million in Belgium with a great victory at Phoenix Open, while in Katar, the DP World Tour players were abandoned on the trophy, recognized as smaller, But guaranteed by the European Tour and the United States.
China’s Haotong Li made £341,000 for his victory, taking an important step to gaining American wealth next season, with the top ten receiving rewards in the Dubai competition in the top ten.
Isn’t this the essence of professional golf? Create a profitable livelihood game for the best players in the world?
Of course.
Liv’s arrival prompted people to suffer this cash injection at the beginning of the fourth season. New CEO Scott O’Neil is already winning the convenient victory.
The TV deal with Fox Sports in the United States is a major upgrade on the CW network – a return on sports broadcast – now the deal with ITV means Live Golf is once again available for free in the UK.
A bigger success for R&A and USGA is to provide the official avenue for those participating in this 54-hole shotgun competition to begin qualifying for the Open and the U.S. Open.
Liv is just legal, which is important.
However, the game remains split while creating a competitive tension that benefits players – as O’Neal’s predecessor Greg Norman predicted.
The separate camps remain in one corner, and on the PGA and DP World Tour, another camp is in another corner; with the Masters, the US PGA Championship, we sit in the middle of the United States open and open.
These four majors are the only place we see all the best players in the world. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy hired LIV recruits such as Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka.
The Grand Slam is exactly what they say on tin and has never been more eagerly anticipated. They also show the state that golf can be achieved regularly.
This is where leaders of the free world come from. There is nothing wrong with U.S. President Donald Trump wants to unite, reach a deal with Saudi Arabia and have the right to classify it.
The PGA Tour has asked him to participate in a deal with Golf Governor Yasir al-Rumayyan of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. They have been working hard to beat this since June 2023, and so far, the highest secrets are the ones in every way.
That is, until Trump’s participation. He obviously wants to reach an agreement, and more importantly, it needs to be viewed publicly as a catalyst. That is the art of his trading.
That’s OK, for many, the next source of funds will flood into the sport’s bulging stockpile is so controversial. Now, there seems to be little concern that Saudi Arabia’s record of severe criticism on human rights will derail the golf gravy train.
These are great times, remember.
But the future of golf depends on people not being shut down by excessive income because they think it is inappropriate.
How many people will watch LIV on Fox or ITV? Or, for that matter, the PGA Tour on traditional golf networks in the United States and the United Kingdom. Will the Ryder Cup bring the usual shine this September, and now American players are paid to represent their country?
Will Woods and McIlroy’s TGL simulator performances attract new golf audiences’ imaginations? The jury was on that jury with a lot of debate.
Will Netflix’s third full-scale performance produce heroes around who will gather? Or is the biggest star enjoying the wealth of gilded golf life, will we be closed by us?
Is the unique warm welcome story that golf has been producing still exists in scope?
The pursuit of improving the “product” will be spelled at the end of Monday’s qualifiers for the PGA Tour next year’s PGA Tour.
Will Chandler entered Arizona’s waste management field last week and finished sixth in the final round of Sunday with world No. 1 Scheffler.
These are the stories that make us dream of. Cara Gainer’s first Women’s European Tour (LET) win – the 29-year-old British female champion in the Lalla Meryum Cup in Morocco last weekend was a deserved breakthrough.
This week, she attended a more lucrative LET event – ​​you guessed it – at the Aramco series at the Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia. But she will fight for a small portion of the money that Liv’s soldiers fought for.
Crisis, what crisis? You decide.
