Controversial breakaway golf league LIV Golf already at risk of stagnation ahead of Masters
If the PGA Tour was a group of football fans, they’d be chanting ‘all gone quiet over there’ at LIV Golf.Koepka claimed a second LIV victory on SundayLast year, a never-ending wave of defecting players threatened the very existence of the PGA Tour and professional golf as we know it., huge names such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith took the leap – and it felt like more would follow.
The apparent novelty of shotgun starts, team formats and 54 holes seems to be wearing off even further, with this year’s second LIV event dropping to a 0.14 per cent rating in the same fields. That would suggest the PIF are interested in making this whole thing work – but how, when all momentum seems to have been lost?Much of its hope would seem to hinge on an antitrust case against the PGA Tour.After every rebel was suspended by the PGA Tour, LIV has been contesting the sanctions for their players in court – but that isn’t going great, either.
It has also been ruled that the PIF’s governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who also happens to be the chairman of Newcastle, must submit to discovery in the PGA Tour’s counter claim – and many feel the Saudis would sooner drop the case than allow that to happen.In the meantime, LIV players are tumbling down the Official World Golf Rankings because the breakaway league is yet to be awarded points.
