“It’s all about the money, which is okay, but don’t just sit there and keep saying that they’re changing the game.” Couples Fred In The Most Recent LIV Dig
“It’s all about the money, that’s fine, but don’t sit back and tell me to change the game.” – Fred Couples at the latest LIV Dig
The 15-time PGA Tour winner criticized players for not being honest about why they joined LIV Golf.
Fred Couples outlines the absurd reasons why some players join LIV Golf.
The 1992 Masters champion spoke on Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio about why players choose to join the circuit. He started with a joke scenario where he hoped the next player would sign with LIV.
“I want to see the next superstar say, ‘I’m going to LIV,'” he explained. Do you know why I’m going? Because it’s not true. They’ll play Riviera and TPC Phoenix in front of 300,000 people and this and that, but I want them to go free and go again. Get on CNN and every TV show and tell them why they’re going. Because that’s what it is. I have. good.
“I don’t understand the 100m, I don’t understand the 200m, I don’t understand the 300m. But the 400m is a great product, a great show. Oh my! Then tell the next guy. Tony Finau “I’m Gonna get it out there guys… I love this tour. I don’t like the PGA Tour anymore.”
Finau said he will not be joining LIV Golf this season, but expects others to be tempted. Especially after Masters champion Jon Rahm decided to leave the PGA Tour and join the region. 560 million dollars. One of the reasons stars regularly sign to LIV is because of a desire to step up or change their game, although other players have also signed up for significant sums, with couples not buying the line. Instead, he explained that he had no problem with players joining for financial reasons, but that they had to be honest about it. He added: “Nobody does that. What does this tell me? They say it’s all about the money and that’s okay. But don’t sit there and keep saying you’re changing the game.”
As the oldest player to compete in April’s Masters at Augusta National, Fairs certainly has a lot of experience seeing firsthand how the game has evolved over the decades and noted that the game has changed a lot over time. . That was before LIV Golf came along. He said, “What are they going to change? In fact, golf has changed in 50 years. Arnold Palmer changed, Jack Nicklaus changed and Tiger Woods changed too. The LIV tournament won’t change anything.”
The 64-year-old has long championed the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. He responded to X’s decision to allow PGA Tour players to play in the first LIV golf event: “refuse… refuse… Rejected.\”
He also asked why the players signed up early. After joining Open champion Cameron Smith last year, he detailed his motivation to spend more time in his native Australia.
the couple wrote on Twitter. (Currently, I earn money to work on weekends. And on weekends, that means 72 holes. “I’m sorry, I’m not sorry.”
Last August, he described players who joined LIV Golf under the guise of changing the game as “ridiculous”. He said: “All these guys think they are changing the game. This is absolutely ridiculous to me. It’s very funny. Put music on every t-shirt and let people drink beer and think it’s cool. “I never imagined that the cast and crew would do something like this.”
