Rory during his press conference today.

“It’s funny, I think as they’ve done all this work you start to realize that the way the Tour was before LIV came along, was actually pretty good. It was a pretty good structure and everything worked pretty well.”

This is the first time I’ve heard a top player say this, and it is refreshing to hear as someone who hasn’t been a fan of the direction the Tour has taken in recent years. There was a time when they needed to change things up to retain players, but it was always fed to us as the PGA Tour making massive improvements. “The best players need to play against each other more often” (do they?), “fans need to know their favourite player will be there on Sunday” (no, they don’t), “golf should be more like F1” $\":face_vomiting:\"$ .

There’s no silver bullet or big change that is going to make golf more entertaining. Golf is what it is, and we should lean into it, not try to make it something else. It’s a pretty boring sport from the outside, but through it’s variety of players and courses it generates some great moments during the ebbs and flows of tournaments and seasons. I think (and hope) that with LIV fading to the background, the Tour will slowly start reverting back to what it used to be.
