Podcast appearances and mentions of liv golfers

The Rays are rolling, new terminology, and LIV Golfers are doing what is the league folds?

May 6, 2026 Hour 4 Jason Sobel. Jason Sobel from PGA Radio talks about the Tour and what happens to the LIV Golfers. The good, bad & ugly. Today was the day when. What's on tap.

Welcome back!  In my last post, we examined how LIV Golf is unlikely to survive after the Saudi Public Investment Fund ends its financial support soon.  Will the PGA Tour choose to punish the LIV Golf stars who left in 2022 and 2023?  Or, should the PGA Tour take the high road and find a reasonable way to bring back the LIV golfers for the benefit of professional golf fans?  It’s time for ol’ SwampSwami to present a few possible outcomes should LIV Golf fold its operations following its final 2026 event in late August.   Let’s start with my least favorite idea and conclude with my preferred solution. First idea – The PGA Tour tells all LIV golfers that they are not welcome back.  Ever. My Mom would have called this one, “Cutting off your nose to spite your face”.  It’s simply not going to happen. I understand the angst.  Many pro golfers and fans are still hot about LIV’s top names accepting $100 million or more from a country (Saudi Arabia) which has a poor history on human rights issues. The seed money and current operating capital provided to LIV Golf, indeed, originated from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. However, a total ban on LIV Golfers would be a terrible business idea for the PGA Tour.  Golf fans want to see the best players competing on the course every week. If you still can’t get over it, perhaps celebrate the fact that Saudi investors have lost more than $5 billion on LIV Golf over the past five years. Second idea – The PGA Tour tells LIV golfers to sit out for at least one full year.  They would then be permitted to start over.  That involves earning a PGA Tour spot at the annual Qualifying school or playing in the Korn Ferry (developmental) Tour in 2027 in an attempt to earn a PGA Tour card for 2028. This would likely send the majority of LIV Golf players to play in the DP World (European) tour next season.  The prize money for that tour is much lower, and the players’ travel costs are significant. From the DP World Tour’s viewpoint, adding a number of LIV golfers would boost interest in their tour.  Perhaps the DP World Tour might add events at a few popular LIV Golf destinations such as Adelaide, Australia and in South Africa. Another factor to consider is that an across-the-board ban by the PGA Tour for at least one year may cause some LIV golfers to sue the PGA Tour. It is important to understand that PGA Tour golfers are not employees of the PGA Tour.  They are considered contract labor.  PGA Tour golfers are not guaranteed any prize money when they tee-up at traditional full-field golf tournaments.  They earn money only after making the 36-hole cut by placing in the upper half of the field. LIV Golfers could argue the contract labor position in court should the PGA Tour deny their right to compete for one or more years. Third idea – Utilize the same method which recently allowed Brooks Koepka to return to the PGA Tour this year Five-time major championship winner Brooks Koepka had one year left on his LIV Golf contract in 2026.  He quietly negotiated his way out of the final year of his LIV Golf contract following the 2025 season. Brooks Koepka then visited with the PGA Tour and was able to cut a deal to return this year in 2026.  Koepka had to agree to certain conditions: He must pay a $5 million donation to charity. Koepka is not eligible to participate in the new PGA Player Equity Program. He is not eligible to receive any money from the season-ending FedEx Cup Bonus Pool. Upon rejoining the PGA Tour, Brooks Koepka has received several tournament sponsor’s invitations to participate in full-field PGA events this spring.  Those tournament title sponsors should be permitted to add players (including other former LIV golfers) whose presence boosts local and national interest in their PGA Tour event. The “Koepka Plan” could be applied to the other returning LIV Golf stars beginning in 2027.  A sliding scale could be used to determine the amount of each player’s charitable donation based on the size of that player’s LIV Golf signing bonus. This idea seems plausible to me.  However… The PGA Tour is unhappy that other top LIV golfers failed to accept this type of “olive branch” offer made earlier in 2026.  Revenge may sound like fun to some, but most pro golf fans just want to see the best players on the course every week. The PGA Tour is a business.  Listening to golf fans who want to see the top players back in competition should be the Tour’s foremost priority. It is also Customer Service 101.  The customer isn’t always right, but the customer is ALWAYS the customer! Fourth and my preferred idea – Listen to the golf fans and let’s roll again in 2027! Anyone who has watched the four golf major championships over the past few years can see how much golf fans enjoyed watching top LIV golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm competing in those events.  The final twosome of DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy in the 2025 Masters made for some great final round drama.  It’s time for all parties to come together soon and make men’s golf stronger than before.   A personal analogy may be in order.   Perhaps you (like me) have been fortunate enough to have been hired by an employer, stayed for a number of years, left for another company, and then rehired by your original employer to fill an open position.     We had our reasons for leaving.  Earning a good reputation during your first time working for that original employer laid the groundwork for your possible return. Of course, most of us did not receive a hefty signing bonus from any employer.  Pro golfers who left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf received some rather large signing bonuses.  Whether the amount was $1 million or $300 million, it was a personal business decision which involved risks to be weighed by each player. Importantly, the amount of the LIV Golf signing bonus received by a golfer should be none of the PGA Tour’s business. The PGA Tour’s primary concern – today – should be in determining how much value their enterprise would gain by adding the top LIV golfers to some of their golf tournaments beginning next season. Let’s get to work and create a win/win/win deal for the fans, the PGA Tour, and LIV Golf! *The SwampSwamiSports.com favored proposal covers only the upcoming 2026-2027 PGA golf season Step 1 – Allow each regular field (100 or more players) PGA Tour event to have the option of inviting up to ten former LIV golfers to participate in their local event. This would be in addition to the normal number of PGA Tour players scheduled to appear that week.  No PGA player would lose a spot in the field.  Former LIV golfers would not be eligible to participate in any of the PGA Tour’s “no cut” reduced-field events or The Player’s Championship.  All former LIV golfers (regardless of the number of FedEx points they earned during the regular season) would be ineligible to participate in the 2027 FedEx Cup series of year-ending events. Step 2 – Any PGA tournament earnings by a former LIV golfer in the 2026-2027 season will be split as follows – 1/3 to the golfer, 1/3 dedicated to the PGA Tour Players’ Retirement Fund, and 1/3 going to the local tournament’s primary charity or charities. The golfer would be financially “punished” by being allowed to keep just 1/3 of his weekly earnings.  Having another 1/3 going directly into long-time PGA Tour players’ retirement accounts is intended to honor PGA golfers who didn’t bolt for LIV Golf.  The final 1/3 going to the local tour stop’s charity will help make a positive impact in that community.  It’s also a smart public relations move. Step 3 – If any former LIV Golf player should earn enough FedEx points during the 2026-2027 season to qualify for a Tour Card in 2028, the player should be welcomed back onto the PGA Tour. Let’s say that the Zurich Classic team event in New Orleans invites LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm to play as a team next spring.  If they should win the golf tournament, those two players may earn enough FedEx points to receive their PGA Tour cards for 2028. LIV Golfers must earn their way back onto the regular PGA Tour – by their performance! Step 4 – If any former LIV golfer earns enough FedEx points to qualify for a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2028, the player is welcomed to join that tour. A former LIV golfer may be able to place high enough during limited 2027 PGA Tour events may qualify to play on the Korn Ferry (developmental) Tour in 2028.  The player would spend their next season trying to win events on that tour in an effort to regain their PGA Tour card. Step 5 – All LIV Golfers will be permanently ineligible to participate in the PGA Player Equity Program. This relatively new long-term incentive bonus plan was designed to incentivize PGA Tour members who stayed with the Tour instead of pursuing an offer from LIV Golf.  It is only fair that the LIV Golfers should be permanently excluded from that bonus pool. In summary: My program would give PGA Tour tournament title sponsors the right to invite up to ten LIV golfers to play in their events to boost public interest without eliminating any PGA Tour players’ spots in the field.  Those tournaments may also decide not to invite any LIV Golfers if they so choose. The LIV golfers must perform at a very high level in 2027 in order to have any chance of securing a PGA Tour card beginning in 2028. PGA Tour players have little to be concerned about except for some added competition.  LIV Golf players would be at a serious disadvantage, because they are only eligible to play in a limited number of events.  However, any LIV golfer collecting enough FedEx points during next season to qualify for the PGA Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour would have earned a playing card based on performance. The PGA Tour and its television partners also win. There will be increased interest in traditional full-field tour stops which have traditionally struggled to attract to top PGA Tour names.  It’s good for business. Most importantly, golf fans win big!  Local PGA tournament fields will include more top names in their fields beginning in 2027. It’s time to get over the feuding and sniping. Fans simply want to see the best players in the world competing every week.  LIV Golf’s expected demise could result in a much improved PGA Tour very soon. The post Fans WANT the top LIV Golfers Back – Part 2 appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Uh-oh!  LIV Golf lost its financial life preserver this week. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is pulling the Saudi P-LUG on LIV Golf at the conclusion of this season in late August. Meanwhile, PGA Tour players and cheerleaders like Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee are doing the expected “I told you so” round of high fives late this week. LIV Golf announced a restructuring plan Thursday “to support a transition from a foundational launch phase to a diversified, multi-partnered investment model”. Let me offer a simpler translation.  The Saudi money tree has dried up.  They are desperately seeking very wealthy people or cash-rich companies needing a billion-dollar annual tax loss. Oddly, no one has confirmed (or denied) whether the Saudi Public Investment Fund has officially parted ways with funding LIV Golf. The league’s Sugar Daddy cannot be happy with losing an estimated $5 billion over five golf seasons beginning in 2022. Thursday’s announcement by LIV Golf included the addition of an independent board led by a couple of investment bankers.  Good luck finding those new pigeons, gents! New Orleans’ first-ever LIV Golf event was expected to be played in late June.  Whose bad idea was that?  Not to worry.  This week, we learned that the New Orleans LIV tournament has been “postponed” (perhaps) until this fall. Louisiana’s state tourism group will receive a refund of more than $1 million already paid to LIV Golf to come to town.  However, the state’s taxpayers have already invested $2 million in making needed improvements to bring the former City Park layout (now renamed Bayou Oaks) into condition for a pro golf tournament. At least Crescent City golfers will be able to enjoy the brand new driving range and other course improvements which have been made. What are the chances that LIV Golf finds new backers and survives into next year? Despite all of that flowery rhetoric, LIV Golf’s current business model simply doesn’t work. The league initially paid more than $1 billion in signing bonuses to major golf champions such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, and Bubba Watson.  Other top names signed for less than $100 million each. Brooks Keopka and Patrick Reed have recently left LIV Golf.  They both joined LIV Golf during its first year in 2022 and played through 2025. The two major champions negotiated their own exit plans over the winter.  Koepka then cut a deal with the PGA Tour to return this spring.  Patrick Reed was required to wait until the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup concludes in late August before he returns to the tour. LIV Golf’s biggest success has come in a few foreign countries starved to see some of the top professional golf stars. Tour events in Australia and South Africa were sold-out this spring with more than 100,000 fans during their LIV Golf tournaments.  LIV Golf’s worldwide events are also quite expensive to transport people, equipment, and facilities to different countries every two weeks. The league has played about half of its tournament schedule in the US. Those events have generally failed to attract significant crowds or revenue. LIV Golf pays its golfers a total prize money worth $30 million at each event in 2026. If a US event draws a total of 40,000 fans at (let’s say) $50 average ticket prices, that generates only $2 million in ticket revenue.  The math doesn’t work. LIV Golf’s television package with FOX Sports (which has been covered in a few previous posts) does not provide the league any significant revenue, either.  Playing in foreign countries brings major challenges for television.  Time zone differences have caused a few events to fall during the overnight hours back in the US. It would require take a drastic reduction in LIV Golf’s tournament purses (back down into the $3-$5 million range) to give the league any chance of treading water financially. Such a payday reduction would likely cause top LIV Golf names like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau to leave once their contracts expire.  DeChambeau’s LIV agreement is set to expire at the end of this summer. What type of investor wants to spend their money on such a risky business venture with its top attractions leaving?  Not many – if any. Then again, the PGA Tour’s own financial picture isn’t all that great, either The PGA Tour has always remained closely guarded when it comes to its own financial affairs.  Some at PGA headquarters may want to pop some champagne bottles upon hearing of LIV Golf’s likely demise. In reality, the PGA Tour’s accountant should counsel them to put the bubbly back into the bar – at least for now. Did you know that the PGA Tour abruptly (and very quietly) ended two long-time events staged in Hawaii? The PGA Tour has held at least one annual golf tournament in Hawaii since 1965.  Honolulu has played host to the Sony Open in Oahu for 51 years. Another tournament called the Sentry (Insurance) Open was added in Maui beginning in 1999.  It featured the winners of each of the prior year’s PGA golf tournaments along with other leading money winners. Attendance at both events has never been particularly strong.  However, January’s television coverage of golf being played in the warm sunshine of Hawaii had been great in attracting home TV audiences and the title golf sponsors. The PGA Tour just said “Aloha” to these long-time events beginning next year Cancellation of these two long-running PGA men’s golf events in Hawaii next year are not the only departures from the PGA Tour after 2026, either. Farmer’s Insurance ended its long-time sponsorship of the PGA event in San Diego earlier this spring. The insurance provider had been the title sponsor at Torrey Pines in San Diego for the past 17 years. Other long-time PGA Tour sponsors such as Genesis (Los Angeles), Charles Schwab (Fort Worth) and Wyndham Hotels (Greensboro) face renewal decisions in 2026. Primary PGA Tour sponsors are becoming increasingly skeptical about making significant multi-year financial commitments at increasing costs.  The average PGA Tour title sponsorship now costs nearly $15 million per year with a multi-year commitment required from the sponsor. These title companies expect more than just goodwill when forking-out a significant percentage of their annual advertising budget to sponsor a one week pro golf tournament. Why are PGA title sponsorships priced so high today? Let’s go back a few decades.  Phil Mickelson first teed-up on the PGA Tour in the summer of 1992.  He’s now 55 and was one of the first PGA Tour golfers signed by LIV Golf in 2022. Tiger Woods has, for practical purposes, retired from the PGA Tour.  He turned 50 last December and now qualifies to play on the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour. There was a dramatic increase for PGA tournament payouts during Tiger and Phil’s careers.  Fans of both golfers helped to generate a renewed interest in the game over the past 30 years. The total prize pool for ALL PGA Tour events in 1994 was $57 million.  By 2024, the men’s golf tournament payouts had increased almost tenfold to $551 million. Unfortunately, both Phil Mickelson and the oft-injured and recently out-of-sight Tiger Woods are no longer factors in recent years. The competition from LIV Golf beginning in 2022 absolutely contributed to the PGA Tour maintaining and boosting its tournament payouts.  It was done to prevent other major PGA stars from jumping over to the new LIV Golf league. Guess who has been footing the bill for those huge increases in tournament payouts? Tournament title sponsors, of course! A golf tournament’s title sponsor generally covers all of the costs associated with bringing a PGA Tour event to each community.  The money goes to pay for operational costs on the ground plus that rising amount of tournament prize money being paid to the players. That good ol’ economic concept of the elasticity of demand is in effect right now. The loss of PGA Tour long-time tournament title sponsors has resulted in a reduction in the number of annual events. Many PGA weekly tournaments feature a rather watered-down field with few of the top 50 players bothering to show up.  Some may not like the golf course.  Others are taking time to prepare for future events or spend the week with their families. Tournament title sponsors, though, are left with a field with few “name” golfers.  That leads to lower local attendance and reduced national television exposure for the title sponsor of that particular golf tournament. Today’s top PGA Tour fan favorites include Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. A little renewed competition from young major champion golfers like LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith would definitely boost interest at some of the PGA Tour’s most neglected tournament stops. The PGA Tour’s most recent media rights deals with CBS and NBC/Golf Channel provides annual revenue of $700 million through the year 2030.  It would be a smart business decision for the PGA Tour to add the primary stars of LIV Golf into the mix long before the next round of TV rights negotiations. The PGA Tour shouldn’t gloat about LIV Golf’s financial failure A $3 billion life preserver was provided to the PGA Tour in early 2024 from private equity partner Strategic Sports Group.  That cash infusion has kept the long-term golf league in respectable financial shape. Half of the $3 billion was utilized to create a new long-term bonus incentive program for the golfers.  Current PGA stars earn a portion of their bonus money based on their annual performance.  Importantly, they are required to remain a PGA member in order to collect that money in the future. The other half of the $3 billion from Strategic Sports Group was slated for “PGA Tour business.”  What exactly does that mean?  Is it being used to cover tournament losses?  What about the cost of funding former PGA players’ retirement accounts?  Nobody knows for sure. Phil Mickelson had deep suspicions about how the PGA Tour was being managed.  That is one reason why Lefty jumped to LIV Golf in 2022.  He claimed that the PGA Tour had been unfair to its players by retaining the exclusive rights to sell and market highlights of individual golfers to social media sites without compensation going back to the players. An increasing lack of trust between top PGA Tour management and several key players came to a head once LIV Golf came knocking in 2022. How can the PGA Tour patch things up with LIV golfers if that league folds soon? Yes, I do have a few ideas. Come back next time for Part 2.  Let’s work out a plan so that golf fans emerge as the winners! The post Hey, PGA Tour! Most fans WANT LIV Golfers Back! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Lots to discuss on the pod today. As you know we're filming the pod for YouTube, and this is week two. We're still ironing out the bugs, and we had a big bug this week, so no YouTube show this week - but we'll sort it for next week.Onto the pod - Mark bumped into Marc Leishman a day or so ago, after Marc played in Warrnambool at the weekend with his Dad and Son. Nick and Mark discuss Marc's near win at St Andrews, and other Aussie performances at the venue.Nick and Mark reveal why pros never ask another pro how they played, apparently one of the unwritten rules of being a pro is to never tell other pros about your round.We discuss the likelihood, or not, of LIV players being welcomed into The Players Championship in March. Outside of those already exempt, will they be welcomed in? Mark asks Nick if there will be room made for them. What about PING's Brian Campbell winning the Mexican Open. His first win in 178 events. And he did it in well, perhaps with a bit of luck on one hole in the playoff.Nick and Mark discuss chipping with a strong top hand grip, which some players do, but it is rare, and not ideal. Mark puts Nick on the spot to say what current tour pros have an orthodox, or unorthodox swing. One tour pro's swing, according to Nick and Mark, when you look at it would not make the Kingston Heath pennant team.Speaking of swings - Nick has brought a video in of Akie Iwai, whose swing he loves. We watch a video of Tiger Woods and what he calls the 'most embarrassing moment of his golfing career'. Mark is angry over something that has happened at a golf course in Wales.Nick's Top 5 (a Top 6 actually) is on players who had a lucky break which helped them win a major.Plenty of feedback, lots on our chat with Bradley Hughes and James Watson - watch them at the links. And we run through some entries, and announce the winner of our caption contest - who wins $200 to spend at Golf Clearance Outlet.Heaps of results to run through with the PING global results from Nick, interrupted after Mark's phone decides to play a role in the show.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom Giordano leads off by telling of a controversy brewing over in the world of Golf after Brooks Koepka, a participant in LIV Golf, the new league financed by the Saudi government. Dom takes issue with Koepka's allowance to compete, explaining that he would ban anybody participating in the Saudi league from competing in the PGA Tour. Then, Dom tells that today is the $10 year anniversary of a pizza bought with Bitcoin, noting that the pizza would now be valued in the hundreds of millions. Then, Dom and Dan take listeners down to the Jersey Shore, revealing the most popular t-shirt designs being sold at shore stores this summer. Then, Dom moves into a conversation about Presidential politics, returning to the announcement by Senator Tim Scott that he'd be throwing his hat into the ring for a Republican nominee. This leads Dom into a conversation about Ron DeSantis's presidential chances, telling that he's feeling that voters are moving back toward Trump after some stumbles in Florida. Dom plays back a clip from the President of the NAACP, who suggests that people of color are no longer safe in the State, which Dom shrugs off as absolutely preposterous.
