Gloomy TV ratings hang over LIV Championship, PGA Tour fall debut

The LIV Golf Championship at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, is suffering from low TV ratings and a lack of big-name players. CBS aired the tournament live on Saturday and Sunday, and the numbers were well below expectations. The broadcast averaged just 450,000 viewers on Saturday and 390,000 on Sunday. These numbers are significantly lower than the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs, which averaged 2.3 million viewers on NBC over the same weekend.

McIlroy: Players, DOJ in way of PGA Tour-PIF deal

Rory McIlroy believes the PGA Tour should not be “held hostage” by players and the DOJ, as he defended the prospect of a Saudi Arabia-backed breakaway league.

McIlroy insists player resistance and the Department of Justice’s investigation into the PGA Tour are the only obstacles to a deal with PIF, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund that has already invested heavily in LIV Golf.

Rory unsure about LIV member as Ryder captain

Rory McIlroy expressed reservations about the possibility of a LIV Golf member captaining Europe’s Ryder Cup team. While declining to give a definitive answer, McIlroy acknowledged the “complexity” surrounding the issue. Speculation has arisen about the eligibility of LIV players for future Ryder Cups due to the ongoing legal battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. McIlroy, who has been outspoken in his support of the PGA Tour, emphasized the need for a “unified” team and suggested that a LIV member as captain could “open up a can of worms.” The decision ultimately lies with Ryder Cup Europe, which will announce its captain for the 2027 event in Rome later this year.

How to bridge PGA Tour, LIV divide? Padraig Harrington has clever solution 

Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner from Ireland, has proposed a solution to the divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. His plan involves creating a new tournament series that would feature players from both tours and be sanctioned by the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

Harrington believes the new series would give players from both sides an opportunity to compete against each other and earn world ranking points. He also thinks it would help to heal the rift between the two tours.

“I think it’s a great idea,” Harrington said. “It would give the players from both tours a chance to play against each other without having to choose sides.”

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are yet to comment on Harrington’s proposal.
