House music as players tee off? Player selected walk on theme music? Happy Gilmore would have loved it
I watched some of this over the weekend, what an event. I haven't seen a better crowd in golf for years, the atmosphere was brilliant, the players were enjoying themselves and the conditions in Adelaide were perfect. The commentary team said they had never seen better conditions for a golf tournament.
LIV golf is definitely here to stay and I really wouldn't be surprised if more big-name players make the shift over.

Liv is a great watch. The scenes when the lessor-Koepka hit the hole-in-one at the stadium hole were fucking great
The stuffy sanctimonious fluffybunnies at the PGA tour should be worried (though for all the chat, the money they are now paying out is fucking ridiculous as well).

@Canes4life although from what I have seen, LIV has better support outside the US, particularly places like Aus where the PGA dont go anyway.
Hopefully there will be some common ground in the near future, while LIV has alot of cash, it surely isnt unlimited meaning if more and more want to jump, the sign on bonuses will drop.
PGA need to pull thier heads out and find a way forward where both exist, but I think for that to happen, probably the head of both PGA (Jay Monahan) and LIV (Greg Norman) will need to step down, seems alot of ego there.

LIV Aus was indeed awesome but a lot of that is due to the Aussie crowd that, lets be honest, would have turned up to watch pretty much any sport put on in a similar environment.
I've watched a of heap of LIV (and golf in general) and the atmosphere and vibe event was sooo much better than all the others . Right now for me, from a spectacle point of view, its still LPGA then LIV, with PGA a long way behind (unless its a major)
