I think Dan is just old school in his thinking. Where did the idea of 4 rounds of golf is "real" golf come from? it's just an arbitrary number. Get over it?
They couldn’t call it LIV if it was 72 holes. And LXXII just doesn’t work.
The format of LIV isn't good. It's not exciting with the shotgun format, as part of the drama is seeing how the leaders play the closing holes, which are designed to test the players down the stretch. The blaring music is a distraction.
What's this guy obsession with 4 rounds? Must have a lot of free time to sit through that thrilling first round of the John Deere Invitational….
LIV is manufactured? Ever heard of the FedEx Cup?
You are just wrong LIv are not playing real golf and that there is no drama.
The only thing missing are the owgr points they deserve.
Who cares about this arbitrary obsession with 4 rounds?
Or Pants? Or taking hours for everyone to tee off? Or hearing porta John doors slamming over cool music?
These things don’t matter to the competition much but they
Make for a way better experience for the next generation of viewers, who are just not built to sit around for hours watching sleepy golf im ok with it. But I get most people today are not. They like more things going on and things to move along faster and LIv gives that.
Also Dan is just wrong about Gooch. He is one of the best in the world. As he said he does not know how to find CW or the various other ways to watch. But I am. And Gooch is world class right now.
Finally What this does for the merger is break the pga tours back a little more in the negotiation table.
Bold prediction… LIV will be the elite world tour in 2-3 years and the pga, DP, and all others will be triple AAA ball.
Come on Patrick. You want 4 rounds. I doubt if you watch 1 full round. That's a weak criticism. All LIV needs is more TV and streaming coverage.

No Dan, you’re not interesting…be truthful seeing that I don’t know anyone who listens to your bullhockey blog existence…ESPN was your glory days…now, you are not even an afterthought
Dan is the old get off my lawn guy
Jon Rahm just made golf trashy💯
You guys still don’t get it and probably never will. This new generation don’t give flying you know what about this BS narrative that main stream media keeps trying to push. About how prestigious, wholesome, clean , and rich with history the PGA is, the tour that Arnold and Jack built. They don’t give a damn about playing on these supposedly “hollow grounds and sacred venues county clubs” that by the way discriminated against people of color, minorities, and women for years and in some places still do right now today. That good Ole boy county club golf is a relic of the past. They tried shaming the players for signing with PIF., how did that workout. The PGA needs to get some new blood in there and realize that the game is changing and if they don’t change with it they will no longer exist.
The PGA has seen it's ass. Since start of 2018 19 majors have been played (1 cancelled due to Covid)…and 11 was won by players on LIV. The PGA even had to get Tiger out of sickbay to try and stop the bleeding of golf fans to LIV. Don't think there will be an immediately agreement by 31 Dec and I am sure there are a few more PGA top players to follow Rahm soon. PGA tried their hand to state there are other possible investors…but they are now less valuable after Rahm left, so the offer will today be much less than 2 days ago. LIV on the other hand is in a much stronger position now, and will be in an even better position before their next season starts…watch this space. I personally think LIV should have taken over DP Tour (which are not much these days) and be the European Tour. Then This tour and the PGA can be the feeder tours for LIV that can be a world tour in which teams from those 2 tours can compete against each other….maybe in an extended ryder cup type tournament
The only reason players go to liv is because they are bought. Nobody would aspire to this bush league tour otherwise. As for the players that went to liv thus far, don't miss any of them! There is plenty of golf to watch aside from liv
The DP show was a start up and they hoped we would follow after the exit from ESPN. New platform, produced from someone’s garage. Some things take time.
Rahm's team name, straight from Batman … Two-Faces. He's probably the highest paid LIV player now. Maybe team Moneybags. They'll have to give Brooks a raise.
…Dan, get with the program !..
😏
What is this old git going on about lol, the PGA destroyed other tours, now it's the PGA that's going to get destroyed
Money Money Money tell the truth.Not bothered who is paying
This seems more about PIF flexing their financial muscles, they are possibly losing their patience with the PGA Tour. They could press the button to start creating their own global Major Tournaments. Once LIV Golf secures primetime TV it seems game over for everyone else hoping to be part of the new world of golf!
It was already the best league in golf. And now it crushes the PGA tour. Now all of these 54 hole pga events next year are going to be disappointing to Dan. LIV is the best with everyone on the course at the same time, nonstop action.
LIVs format is hard to watch on TV. Get rid of the shotgun start and pair teammates together. That will build drama for the team aspect and make it easier to figure out who’s where on the leaderboard and how many holes they have to go.
