I'm not sure if it is fair or harsh?
Tbh, I'm more aware of the other side of it ie how much did the US know about it; why wasn't it stopped; how did the other building implode etc than where it came from on the Muslim side.

According to this anyway:
There is no cut and the player who finishes last will take home $120,000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/61732801
$'s not £'s though

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Stenson sacked as European Ryder Cup captain, seemingly about to sign up.
They’ve already lost their ready-made stable of future captains, now needing to find a new incumbent for next year. Possibilities of going back to a previous holder of the post.

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
I lost interest in it, when they sold it to Sky.
Stenson has made the cut in a third of his attempts in the last few years, so I don't see his appeal to LIV

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Does anyone have an idea for the end game?
An elite World LIV Tour sitting above the continental versions?
Only LIV surviving?
The LIV bods going back to the continental versions for the Majors in a similar way Packer hit cricket? (Although he was after the TV rights for cricket, which he got as part of the deal for Ch9. Was Richie part of his commentary team?)
People realising that not many are that interested in golf as it's not free to watch? (How many pay for Sky to watch golf?)

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
It's about what Sky etc and the sponsors pay. If LIV takes off that will drop for the traditional series and be their downfall.

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Indeed to Sky having the power, just as with the World/European Super League in football, although the rise of the interweb thing opens the door for Amazon, YouTube, Netflix (could be an interesting player).
But is golf just a nice to have with football, or can it generate enough viewers for one or two of the above to lead with it?

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Golf obviously has its dedicated followers but guess the amount of people who really care about it beyond the majors and Ryder Cup is fairly small. And if those big events aren’t free to air the ability to attract new fans reduces substantially, it’s similar to the total paywalling of live cricket that we had for 15 years or so. Though I guess those who play golf will always be a tappable market?

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Nowadays I only pay any attention to the Masters; and that could be some form of Spring starting ritual with Paris-Roubaux (and the National in by-gone days).

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
Somewhat ironic that the Wentworth PGA will now be a 54-hole tournament…

Re: Breakaway Golf Tour
And out of nowhere they’ve come up with a merger peace deal. Suggestions that both sides just had too much to lose through an ongoing war. Will be interesting to see how that shapes the calendar going forwards, anyway, but good news for the Ryder Cup for a start.

I'm sure Rory et al will welcome the LIV bods back with open arms
