Send us Fan Mail LIV Golf might be heading toward a funding cliff, and that forces a question nobody can dodge: where do all these world-class…
No entities detected.
But I would say the biggest news of the week when it comes to the golf world is the sounds like folding up of the tent when it comes to LIV Golf, or at least the backing of LIV Golf right now with the PIF pulling funding at the end of this 2026 season.
So, uh, could be interesting times to see where all of these golfers that have been playing on LIV are gonna wind up.
And I think now people are even more interested in what the scheduling is going to look like for 2026 and beyond, because we've got all these golfers, and it seems like we've got nowhere to put them.
I, I was, uh, curious to ask you with a couple guys, uh, on LIV that you teach and consult with, what do you think, um...
What's the s- I mean, I know it's very, very fresh, but what, what all are you hearing, or what are your thoughts?
The once unsinkable ship is now sinking, and I think that everybody is scrambling for the lifeboats and trying to figure out what that looks like.
It almost seems strategic in a way, but I think it's been very well played by the PGA Tour not releasing this new schedule that they're, that they're kind of teasing us with because I, I really ...
They've created a tour within the tour with the signature events versus the non-signature events, and I really think there's never been a better time for the PGA Tour to kind of look at having actually two tours and having their signature tour, uh, which is basically the signature events, and then having more of these smaller market tournaments to where they're, they're filling in the gaps with all of these players that are gonna be coming over from LIV again.
I think the PGA Tour is actually likely positioned better than they ever have been, been before because we know that, you know, there's a big market for golf.
LIV has proven that there's a worldwide market for golf, and I wouldn't be surprised if the tour does something where they differentiate their product and have maybe multiple products.
Or I could potentially see a deeper partnership with the DP World Tour coming up and a lot of those guys kind of moving more that way.
But I feel bad for a lot of the guys that are on the DP Asian tours, uh, because I think they're gonna get lost in the shuffle unfortunately, 'cause you're gonna have just a lot of guys with higher world rankings that are gonna be looking for, for starts and tournaments.
I would have to guess that professional golf has never been as competitive with the amount of people and the amount, the quality of play than right now.
I mean, we're busting at the seams of guys that, that clearly can play and are going to need a place to play.
