And so the brand-new age in golf has showedup – at least that’s what LIV, Greg Norman, and those golfplayers teeing it up at the Centurion Club would desire us to think.
The strap line on the LIV Golf site states it ‘exists to supercharge the videogame of golf.’ With a group format, a shotgun start and no cut it’s clear this is a competition and series with a distinction. But till we see what really unfolds in Hertfordshire and beyond it’s likewise clear that, for now at least, the just thing it’s turbocharging is the bank accounts of those golfenthusiasts who’ve seen an additional nought and leapt ship from the PGA and DP World Tours.
The occasions of the past coupleof months haveactually been stuck in debate. From Phil Mickelson explaining the Saudis (who are bankrolling the breakaway) as ‘scary mom——–‘ yet on Wednesday stating he was ‘so pleased’ to promise his future to LIV Golf, to Greg Norman apparently ready to to air his views on whatever no matter who he upsets (he called Jack Nicklaus a ‘hypocrite’), the run up to today’s tee time hasactually been absolutelynothing if not questionable and vibrant.
But as the intervention of Jamal Khashoggi’s bride-to-be highlights, the debate is about more than simply abundant gamers desiring to endedupbeing even richer and a viewed absence of commitment to their particular trips. The bride-to-be of the butchered reporter called on the rebel gamers to be prohibited from majors and the Ryder Cup for ‘supporting killers’. Hatice Cengiz went to to call the likes of Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood “stooges” of a program that hasactually devoted several human rights infractions.
After months of behind-the-scenes offers, weighing up of alternatives and allegations being tossed around the golf is really about to start however, as with the run up to the competition, you get the sense that what occurs beyond the ropes will still control the news rather than what occurs inside them.
