Disastrous TV ratings and How LIV guys could return to PGA Tour as talks stall

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

This PACKED Wednesday episode wanders around for an hour on a variety of important and inane topics on what should be an otherwise sleepy stretch of the golf year. Andy and Brendan begin with news of some truly horrific TV ratings from Sunday’s PGA Tour event, which were beaten by LIV’s own paltry ratings. Then they get to a Bloomberg report that talks between the PGA Tour and PIF might be held up on the notion that LIV players must return or forfeit their money from that enterprise, along with Joel Beall’s reporting otherwise on what’s truly holding up the talks: how LIV players are re-integrated back into the Tour. They discuss how that might happen, and who is actually worth taking back of real value. There’s a lengthy Mid-Am digression with some notables and their incredible stories. There’s also a segment on the legend of Sunny Abacoa coming out of the swamp to reclaim his MLGT throne. Schedule for the week goes deep on Champs Tour chatter at Pebble, as well as the DPWT’s flagship event at Wentworth. They close with news on the Masters expanding coverage to Paramount Plus and a name for the Vegas match between LIV and PGA Tour stars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
