Absolutely love these guys and the podcast. As to the negotiations, I am of the opinion that the PGATour/Tiger are holding out hoping that LIV folds and the LIV players will be in position of begging to come back to the PGA and DP Tours. As to the match, this will be the first one I will definitely watch.
Great stuff as usual. I will be watching for sure the TNT event. Should be great TV. If the PGA Tour put on great events like this Rory-Scottie v Bryson-Brooks, they could compete vs the NFL, but I dont think the Leadership of the PGA TOUR specifically, Jay Monahan, has a clue of what he is doing. The PGA Tour, and the players won't like it, needs to play US Open caliber setups and courses every week, to bring interest back to the PGA Tour. Watching winning scores in the -25 range is boring. Everyone knows how great the Tour Players are. What makes for great TV is relating PGA Tour players experience what normal golfers feel like. That is why a tough US Open with a winning score of -5 like at Pinehurst was great TV. Boring courses make for bad TV. The NFL is quickly becoming the WWE of pro sports. Because of that if the PGA TOUR had leadership with a clue, they could compete against the NFL. Never watched a President's Cup before, but this one has me interested. I think it will be a great event. The LPGA right now is 100x more interesting than the PGA Tour.
ok here's my billion dollar idea......Play tournaments during the work week.... Golf fans will watch, talk it up at the water cooler during the week and be pumped up to play themselves on the weekend. ...
Good stuff guys. But some one please tell me why we have had a European (Rory) as the spokesperson for the PGA tour? Not gonna lie, kind of peeves me off. And nothing against Rory, just can't figure out WHY? If this is fine then one of you two fella's should go and be the spokesperson for Liv, or the European tour!
Has anyone noticed that this is not USA versus the rest of the World 😮 Its just the reason why USA has won most of the events, it’s Players who. Play on the SAME PGA TOUR. But happen not to be Americans 😂
Great perspective on the “special golf events” popping up. The tour seems to be clueless. What events do you see becoming independent events i.e. the Phoenix Open, a Major?
@@kostismccord very different....TV is a contract with PGAT and streaming is 100 times more flexible for the viewer...and not 1000 commercials to watch
A question that you could address maybe? Why is there soooooo much money in golf when the viewing numbers are in the toilet and NEVER were anything like NFL, NBA, Premier League etc etc. Why are golfers paid so much?
Was Norman really the best player in the world in the late 80s and early 90s? Faldo won 5 majors in that period and Norman won 2. Not to mention that Norman couldn't beat Faldo head-to-head to save his life. The rating system favored the ordinary events on the US tour and Faldo mainly played in Europe.
GN was one of several players at or near the top during golfs "off season" between Jacks 86 Masters and the coming of Tiger. No-one dominated, and golf grew (Boomers reaching golf age) but sorta stagnated. Both Greg and Faldo ("Foldo") were noted for screwing up.
Pgatour does not own golf, lack of support by Americans for other tours created LIV. BMW PGA at Wentworth was a perfect example. They were all exempt and didnt bother to turn up despite the DPworld tour strongly supporting the pgatour. Eff the pgatour and American arrogance
41 was in the WH, morning, 91101, while 43 was reading the upside down version of my pet goat to inner city black children, while their teacher had the kids chant planes must hit target. What isrealie going on here?
Another great show. Thanks, fellas. Keep up the great work!!
thanks Mark!!
Great as always.👍
Replace President's cup with PGAT v LIV....that would get huge ratings
Norman could play Tiger and beat him...
@@1362pc Yep. Both tours could put together an excellent team of 12 and they could do a Ryder Cup format. It would be massive.
Pro golf is in the entertainment industry....LIV v PGAT would be a grudge match..
That would be a good move
never thought I'd see the day when Kostis and McCord went Indie. Wild times we live in.
Love the content folks. Keep it up.
appreciate it Michael
Love you old buggers ,take care ,always love your views❤.
Great show fellas… TY!
thank you Kim!
Announcers should be Kostis, McCord, Feherty, and Jerry Foltz. Next event 6 VS 6.
Great show as usual. I can tell you right now. I have zero interest in the Presidents cup, but I will certainly be tuning in to the match.
Love the LIV vs PGA Tour scramble idea!

appreciate your comments thanks!
Monahan has no idea...
Presidents cup will be a slaughter without the LIV players
Scottie doesn't do trash talk and Rory can't...
I agree that Tiger will most likely play the Champions Tour. It'll be as big for that tour as when Mickelson played events.
No one wants to watch Tiger golf anymore.
will be interesting for sure!! thanks Sal
Tiger is all about Tiger...
The problem for Tiger is that when he can't win, he'll look very 2nd rate
I guess they tailor an event for TW, for only the purpose of surpassing JN’s record and to give him more money. Ridiculous.
TGL starts January 7, theyre sending out email invitations to buy tickets, i got an email 2 weeks ago
PGAT expenses should be audited very carefully
McCord mind is sharper than his game ever was, but the Goatee is getting a bit too drunk 🫸
Thinkin it's gotta be an intentional asymmetry. Some deep philosophical stuff going on there. 🙂 Over my head, though.
Coked out
Who owns the IP for the event?
PIF should buy the Euro tour and make the world tour....leave the PGAT behind.

No LIV players in International team is a joke..
unfortunate!
@@kostismccord You guys have the best podcast in the game...most of the other US golf media seemed to be scared to say anything against PGAT

Do you guys watch the Saudi tour on CW Channell (?) not me especially when there is a pickleball on another channel .
usually a little on UA-cam! BUT I (Mike) do play and watch Pb!!
PGAT + LIV won't happen until Fenway pulls the plug. Then it'll happen in an instant.
You guys have to understand its not about TV...streaming is the future
I think we talk tv/streaming as one in the same...agree! thanks

The PGAT's strategy is to only have elite pro golf in the US....they have spent the last two decades trying to destroy all other world tours..
PGAT does NOT own pro golf....maybe SSG will partner with PIF, to move forward.
Gary interrupts too much.
PGAT banned LIV players for LIFE!
we shall see!! Hopefully soon thanks!
Winners so far: LIV and PGA players making stupid money, Losers: LIV and PGA tour, Biggest loser: FANS!!
we agree! thank you for taking the time to comment and please share our show with your friends
