‘Pickleball was bigger than their 2 stars’: Nick Faldo again slams LIV Golf 

Pickleball Outshines Faldo’s Criticism of LIV Golf

Nick Faldo’s criticism of the LIV Golf Invitational Series has been overshadowed by the growing popularity of pickleball. Faldo previously condemned LIV Golf as a “disruptor” to the established golf ecosystem.

However, recent data suggests that pickleball, a paddleball sport played on a badminton-sized court, has experienced a surge in participation and viewership. A report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association found that pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, with over 4.8 million players in 2023.

Faldo’s remarks have been met with mixed reactions, with some golf fans supporting his stance and others questioning its relevance amidst the growth of pickleball. The ongoing debate highlights the evolving landscape of the sports industry.

What’s the latest on the PGA Tour-PIF talks? Here’s what Jay Monahan said

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan declined to reveal extensive details regarding ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and PIF-backed LIV Golf. “We are engaged in conversations with a number of parties that cover the entire ecosystem of professional golf,” Monahan expressed at the Travelers Championship. “My goal is to make sure the PGA Tour is stronger in the future than it is today.” Sources indicate a desire for a “coexistence framework” between the two organizations, but Monahan stressed that any agreement would require a “separation of platform and pathway.” The negotiations remain ongoing, with both sides seeking a resolution that safeguards their respective interests and the long-term health of professional golf.
