Check in every week for both the writers and the editors break the untainted opinions of the most heated and conversing with us in mockery. @golf_com. This week we’re discussing the future of LIV Golf as it promises players to reach LIV 2.0.
In the last chapter of LIV Golf’s journey to LIV 2.0, several players — Ian Poulter, Tyrrell Hatton and Louis Oosthuizen among them — have announced that they will be joining the league next season. Meanwhile, only a few league players have officially committed. there’s a Sunday’s deadline for players to register for LIV 2.0although the place there seems to be crisp. Do you doubt whether the new cycle will last the second year at all?

Dylan Dethier, senior writer@dylan_dethier) Of course! Think about what we know. Some of Liv’s biggest names, biggest talents, even former supporters of the firm are jumping ship. Some of the highest-paid players who remain are owed millions and the league is fighting to get them. For the entire policy from Until then, it’s going to be pure. It is also an original mission. I guess I don’t quite understand why? it would remain in this position, except in the event of a Bryson and Friends show or an elaborate tribute plan.
Josh Schrock, associate news editor@Schrock_And_Awe) I was already quite skeptical about the power of the Liv 2.0 to get off the ground. After Rahm left, I felt like the league was either DOA or just a Bryson-focused Net Loss operating plan. No worries now.
Jake Tomorrow, the gear content manager (@madefortherangeI don’t think LIV 2.0 has much of a chance. I hope they understand what made history go down the path of the game of golf and fade into the sunset. Bryson isn’t good enough to change that, and I don’t think his heart is in it anymore.
The high-profile name still associated with LIV Golf is Bryson DeChambeau, who told ESPN last week through sources: “he remains committed to LIV Golf and is working diligently behind the scenes to enjoy LIV 2.0.” How? as much as Bryson is worth As for Liv’s future? Isn’t Jon Rahm’s presence more important than ever?

Dethier: Yeah, there’s a version of this thing that’s built around Bryson; which vision is most coherent in this context. But there is Bryson and – who else? Anyway, of course I remember. Bryson is everything.
Schrock: If LIV has Bryson, they have something in theory. I don’t know what it is. If he leaves, he is even further into the grave than he already seems.
Tomorrow: I had the privilege of having personal conversations with Bryson, and his greatest concern is to help the game grow and impact the community. The plan was that of the original LIV Golf, but it has long been abandoned, and its growth and capabilities have been taken away. What he shared about what he wants to build is amazing for the game, and I hope he does that rather than sticking to supporting a league that won’t keep its promises.
As LIV Golf 2.0 approaches its deadline, 1 big question holds out for an answer about the league’s future

Also, next week, the last batch of documents will be released by the court 50 sums of moneywith the fact that 55 $ 15.6 million in retention of executive fees before filing for bankruptcy and this also Cameron Young signed an intent-to-play contract before you come. What was the most revealing or interesting batch of documents released?
Dethier: I do not know, that there may be a bad number of records for the most lost things. Are the guys paying the managers uncomfortable amounts of money while the league stagnates and the announcer roasts? Not exactly a good story.
Schrock: It’s no wonder that some of the white knuckleheads who took the money to run the league, a soft-power exercise filled the pockets of the tanned vendors. Cam Young’s focus on playing is moderately interesting given where his career is now and how different things have been. Big win for the PGA Tour there.

Tomorrow: My favorite part was how many “LIV Suks” bought domains so no one else could support their websites.
TGL, the golf league simulator co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is preparing for its third season. as announced to the team rosters. New players are in, some are out, since a whole new team has been created in Detroit. Are you wondering enough interest in TGL to start a third season already? What was the treaty well done?
Dethier: The League of Nations has been used in major sporting events, not taking itself too seriously (for the most part), and has featured some of the sport’s top stars in a different setting. It has more to do with Tiger and Rory. I’d love to see them find a way to make the schedule more reliable, so you know exactly where and when you’ll be found each week — and as the league continues to expand, I’m curious if the general interest will linger or grow with it.
Schrock: As a GOLF.com TGL resident appreciator, I’m not surprised. I feel like after the clunky first five or six weeks, they really found out who they are. They have become more agile, changes have been made and game purchases have been acquired. I think getting guys like Jackson Koivun, Blades Brown and Michael Brennan has more interest among the players and the fan demographic than you think. They have a tiger on the trump card. It’s a tidy roof for profit, but they’ve found a nice place in the sports calendar, and it’s become fun and competitive, different from normal golf, and it speaks to a different audience. Not everyone said that.

Tomorrow: I don’t think it really matters or increases. It’s like a chain store that keeps opening locations, so it also develops its books. The audience numbers aren’t really there, the social following is pretty obscure. Girls should mix with guys. Charlie Hull talking trash to Xander would have been good TV.
The field is set for the World Heroes challenge in December, and while the host Woods is in the fieldthree open spots must be filled as the tournament draws closer. Give me any chance that Forest takes one of those places and makes the first start with the 2024 Open Smile?
Dethier: I’ll call the cop out 50/50. A certain tiger was playing with a ball. I believe they have Hero, PNC, TGL, Riviera and Augusta National marked on their calendars. Have no idea of the desire to run it off the tee in a competitive golf ball. But we have almost 50 years of evidence suggesting that it is probably still high enough to condemn.
Schrock: It is difficult to say. 50/50 Probably called DD in law. I will say nothing to him. He speaks at a press conference and says that he is still focusing on things outside of golf and that he needs to sharpen his game to compete. But the Hero is a soft landing to re-take his entry.

Tomorrow: Finally, I will be a negative nelly. I think there’s a 0% chance he’s playing. There is a bigger chance that Jackson invites Koivun or Blades Brown to play. I would give Jordan Speith a bigger chance of being invited than Tiger to invite himself to play.
