I don't blame any of these dudes for collecting those checks. I just still have no idea what the point of this league is though.

It's not sustainable though. Just for DJ and Lefty they have already shelled out over $300 million. That doesn't even include any prize money they may win. 

What channel is this even being broadcast on? I'm guessing not CBS or NBC. 

In the US streaming. Even their broadcasts seems ambitious.  it definitely sounds like they are going for the Happy Gilmore crowd than the polite applause crowd.

LIV Golf has a surprising voice leading its tech-minded broadcasts

To hold professional golf tournaments around the world.

When I think of the average golf viewer tech savvy is right up there.

I'm guessing the average golf viewer is smarter than the average baseball viewer.

Interestingly, in the above link.  They said that LIV has a partial ownership in the Asian Tour.  The odd thing is, only one of the tournaments will be in Asia, Bangkok.  Although I guess Saudi Arabia is considered Asia.

Bangkok

So of their 8 scheduled tournaments 4 of them are in Portland, New Jersey, Miami, and Chicago. Really breaking the mold there.

Their starting in the middle of the PGA season. Give them time. 

Don't know what this has to do with technology.

I heard today that they’ll be on YouTube. 
 

It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

They managed to snag the Koepka brother. Maybe Ozzie Canseco is still available. $60 million should get the job done.

They’re playing at Doral, which the PGA ditched after trump was elected since he now owns it. I think the NJ course might also be a trump course.

I'm sure the Cramps and AOs out there are already trying to figure out what channel number YouTube is on the cable box.

Sergio, Poulter, Westwood, Oosty, Gooch...

 

"According to a press release, coverage of the event will include 60 on-course microphones, including ones worn by players and caddies, and 50 cameras capturing the action."

Technology.

More people have YouTube than NBC or CBS.

Interesting. So two of the courses are owned by Trump. Now it is starting to make a bit of sense.

Yes, Brits love him.

The only player I tune in to watch is Tiger.

It was fine. Tank was the one that mentioned Trump. Like my previous post said it seems like the only semi logical reason for the amount of money they are throwing around on this.
