Nick Faldo says Liv Golf Pro “have gone soft” without an abbreviation of their events and that the League business model is controversial, continuing his attack against the league now playing its fourth season.
Talking to Brian T. Smith of converse, six -time winner He also said Liv Golf should “do their things” in discussing a possible reunion in men Golf for men as part of a deal between PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, Liv’s supporter. But perhaps his most pronounced thoughts were directed in the format without cutting the Livi, which guarantees his benefits a salary.
“I saw it a lot of time,” the faldo said converse. “The boys would pump with fist-in cutting, I still have a chance to win. This is more important than,” Oh, thank you very much. I will shake for 54 holes and have received a guaranteed check. “This is not sport.
“Sport is harsh bloody. Fear of failure is just as powerful as trying to win. And I think when you are on a tour without fail, you can’t fail. It makes you go soft. I think some of those players have gone soft.”
In particular, in the wake of Livi’s formation, PGA Tour has moved events to a form without cutting. There are now eight who play this way-consent, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM, RBC Heritage, The Truist Championship, The Travelers Championship, FedEx St. Jude Championship, BMW Championship and Tour Championship.
In the interview with converseFaldo also asked about the Liv business model and called the tournament players “the luckiest things in the world”.
“I say the players are the luckiest things in the world because you have boys we’ve barely heard, who have never won, playing in $ 20 million,” Faldo said.
“You have boys who are in their careers taking 10 times what they would win in the tournament, guaranteed. And then you have these two boys to pay an absolute wealth, and they haven’t moved a needle, indeed. So, hey, good luck and do their things.”
Comments continue a series of wires from Faldo to Liv. In front of the 2023 masters, Faldo had to say that, In an interview with TELEGRAPH:
“I’m not against them,” Faldo said. “They decided the grass to be greener in their tour. Fine. The flu I get is when he (Norman) said these things to do it to increase the golf game. We have all been here 40 years or more, hanging, husband.
“But as we said, it has gone very quiet. So good luck with the change of play.”
Then last September, In an interview with The news agency of PAFALDO JABBED TV LIV EVALUATIONS, Looking mentioning a tweet This said that the CW network broadcast on Liv Golf’s Greenbrier tour attracted an audience smaller than the ESPN broadcast of a Pickleball professional event. In the Greenbrier tournament, Brooks koepka defeated Ion Rahm to a play off to win.
“I think we are now seeing this, Wow, they have had three seasons and they have not greatly influenced the numbers (sight),” Faldo said in history. “Enough, the pickleball was bigger than their two stars in a play off, the type of excitement everyone wants. But was beaten for viewing by the picleball.
“I think it is ultimately that players have the last laughter because they are rewarded so much by the size of the price or layout fees and they are not moving the needle. And I can’t see that, as we know, it has been so harmful to the public’s attitude towards golf.
Since the comment on TV of Faldo, Liv has transferred his broadcasts to the Fox family of channels.
