I caution you to withhold judgement on any fledgling operation. The first few years of the AFL were unimpressive. Lots of players who couldn't make NFL rosters. They resorted to gimmicks and playing with rules designed to open the game up, etc. It's what fledgling businesses do. The best way to judge the potential future of LIV is to watch what the PGA changes to better compete. The PGA has expanded its limited engagement, no cut events and bumped up its prize money significantly. The real winners in all of this are the players on all tours who will be taking home a lot more money and enjoying greater guarantees. Money attracts talent and will draw athletes from other sports and professions. For most people, they'd rather watch paint dry than spend time watching golfers compete. That won't change.
