He expresses appreciation for the excitement that Bubba Watson's recent performance has brought back to the sport of golf.

“It feels like golf might be back with us paying attention to live golf, which is certainly awesome. Uh, for the sport of golf, but watching Bubba do his thing is cool”

The LIV Golf tour model is comparable to historical upstart sports leagues that challenge established organizations like the PGA by poaching top talent with significant financial incentives.

“it reminds you a little of live tour in the PGA. Like basically >> basically the AB ABA said, "Okay, let's go steal their best player." They stole the MVP of the league was Rick Barry. They stole him. Can you imagine it? It feels like live.”

Rory McIlroy was never tempted by LIV Golf because he felt a strong moral obligation to preserve the legacy of the PGA Tour and his heroes.

“But he was never even tempted because he just felt like they were trying to destroy what his heroes had built. And he wanted to carry that that legacy on.”
