Before we get started, this will mark my 1,000th blog for Barstool Sports!!
Thank you for reading along.
Even if you’re a hater.
I’m sure this subject matter won’t be at all polarizing.
OK…on to business…
We’ve made it.
PS though, Rory still hates LIV.
…That’s all this quote from the LIV exec feels like it’s a response to.
(The team captains own the other 25 percent.)
“So how would all of this work?
Conversations with various LIV insiders leads to a consensus of a schedule of maybe a dozen tournaments.
LIV had already been considering an expansion to 14 teams.
Says one LIV exec, ‘Now we can finally get Hideki [Matsuyama] and Jon Rahm.
I would say every big name on the PGA Tour will get an offer.
Nobody wants that little bitch on their team.'”
Let’s dispel what this LIV clown has to say outright.
Rory McIlroy is not “little”, bro.
I’m assuming this exec ain’t a lady.
Hard to imagine a classy lass calling one of the planet’s best golfers a bitch.
Rory is the Average Height King of golf.
There has never been a more efficient, power-based swinger of the driver in the history of the sport.
I could also count on one hand the amount of prestigious tournaments Rory has yet to win.
So there’s that.
But like seriously what is this LIV exec on about??
The entire premise of your league is purely driven by money, no matter what the optics are.
And as if Rory isn’t a one-man electric factory in team formats.
Mr. LIV Exec, have youseenthe Ryder Cup at all?
Miss me with that shit, LIV Exec Person.
It’s almosttooeasy to dunk on you given how visibly stupid you’re being about this.
If anything,you’rethe one who’s a little bitch for not putting your name on that viral quote.
Rory is out here on the front lines and making his opinion known about anything and everything.
You’re hiding behind the cowardly cloak of anonymity.
Like all the commenters who’ll inevitably give me worlds of shit for taking this stance.
Am I being too harsh?
Generalizing about LIV based on what one key member of their leadership said?
Not to, um, “generalize” but rest assured the majority of prominent LIV figures lack self-awareness.
LIV Golf is its own thing, despite being funded by the PIF.
Or at least that’s how Rory has framed it.
I know this shit is confusing as all hell.
It’s gonna take a while to sort everything out.
So I don’t know 100% what team competitions would look like across PGA/LIV party lines.
LIV seems determined to press on and exist independently in spite of the PIF/DP World Tour/PGA Tour unification.
Again…the machinations of this are too complicated to understand this early in the proceedings.
Don’t mix and match LIV and PGA guys if possible.
Just a hunch, LIV Exec: Pretty sure damn near anyone would want Rory McIlroy on their team.
