He’s won 4 majors and 20+ tournaments I wouldn’t say he has won little
I understand that, Dr., I'm not saying he's not a good player. He's got 24 wins in 17 years on the tour. Those aren't numbers that equate to what he's been blown up to be. He's blown a lot of opportunities as well.

Once again, I'll say i hope he doesn't leave and i respect him!

With LIV taking all the great players in the past 2 years, Tiger on the Disabled List, and Scheffler running through the fields consistently it seems like Rory is the only player that ever gets overly talked about at every big event with no results. I'm not saying he's not a great player, but the media obsession to the results haven't panned out for quite a while.

Because, as above, he’s the most decorated player left. We’ll see if Scottie steps into that role. Even Rory said he’s done being the talking head. I’ll be upset if Rors leaves for LIV. This is all really bad for the game.

All the great players? Sure there are some names like Phil and DJ and Sergio but those guys are washed. LIV has 4 legit guys I expect to compete for majors going forward: Cam, Brooks, Rahm, and Bryson. PGA Has: Scottie, Rory, JT, Spieth, Homa, Xander, Morikawa, Aberg, Wyndham, Cantlay, Fleetwood, Fitzpatrick, Matsuyama, Hovland, Zalatoris

I fully agree. It's to the point where the tour doesn't have any "big name" players anymore. It's beyond sad, bad for the game, and nobody cares to watch LIV. It's all a money grab. I get it, I hate it!

I understand where the financial background comes from with LIV, but at what point, when the puking of money along with lack of intake can it keep going?

Realistically who does LIV have that are bigger names than ones on tour?

I misspoke by saying, " all the great players", but they did take a big chunk of frontrunners in Johnson, Rahm, Cam, Koepke, and Bryson. Johnson, Rahm, Koepke, Scheffler, Cam, were winning most ents before this thing broke.

Xander was making a strong presence, Holland and Morikama became strong onto the tour last 2 years but the fact is; what would the tour look like if they were all involved? We know it would be amazing.

We still get the majors but it makes the week in week out tourneys worse. Both LIV and the Tour are diminished products

I’d take Cam Smith over Bryson (not a bigger name I guess but better player). For the Tour I’d say Spieth is a bigger name than JT
Idk Bryson has been closer to winning since Cam left. Both top 10 players in the world if not top 5
