“I think I’m most likely a traditionalist in a sense that I see the 4 majors as the peak, however I like the concept of attempting to raise some occasions around the globe, and I believe it’s beginning to occur. I believe the Aussie Open has actually grown in stature the last couple of years, and I believe there is definitely some occasions in Asia that have an opportunity to get to that level,” he stated.

“This certainly. Yeah, personally I like the concept of being a global gamer, and I understand a great deal of guys that play out here and a great deal of the guys that you were discussing there like messing around the world.

That’s revealed. We have actually got the Asia-Pacific Amateur turning up in New Zealand in a couple weeks, and I played in the very first among those in 2009 which occasion has actually gone from strength to strength, and we can do something like that at an expert level I believe.

“If an occasion gets huge enough, my peers in the U.S. will definitely be motivated to take a trip a bit more no doubt. You discuss, once again, Aussie Open I discussed. I believe Wentworth is another one over the last couple of years that has actually seen a growing number of Americans come by and play that due to the fact that it’s been discussed so fondly.

“I believe that’s the method to get it. Word of mouth from your peers definitely makes a distinction. I believe we can do that.”

LIV Golf’s most significant success story sent out a message to the PGA Tour

LIV Golf did not get a lot right throughout its very first couple of years around. It would be inaccurate to state that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour did not discover anything from the league.
