Congrats on a very well written article (“LIV Golf amounts to disappearing act for most,” July 28, GGP). I could not agree with you more. LIV Golf has pretty much become irrelevant. The only three players who are factors are Bryson [DeChambeau], Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. The PGA Tour just doesn’t need LIV.

You are right on target about the LIV situation (“LIV Golf amounts to disappearing act for most,” July 28, GGP). Exhibitions on courses that most people never heard of and playing in front of crowds smaller than those for the final of the local club championship doesn’t cut it.
How many people can even remember who won the 150th Open Championship at the Old Course? Cameron Smith had a promising career. Now he’s a has-been.
I am not sure if Phil Mickelson, Greg Norman or the Saudi government are more to blame, or the greed of the players.
When their contracts are up, and if they want to return to the PGA Tour, they should start on the Korn Ferry Tour and be fined with the money going to the charities they shortchanged with their avaricious behavior

Your piece about LIV (“LIV Golf amounts to disappearing act for most,” July 28, GGP) is spot on! Even the PIF will grow weary of shoveling money into a furnace.

I agree with your praise of Ireland (“Divot: Emerald enhancements,” July 28, GGP) but one major change is the cost! Green fees have rocketed sometimes tenfold – €492 (or about $565) to play at Royal County Down, €400 (or about $460) to play at Ballybunion.
Having said that, it’s a trend across the U.K. – Machrihanish in Scotland had an honesty box not so long ago but now costs €162 (or about $185).
