The team competition in Miami is a crucial event for Talor Gooch. With three of the biggest wins this year, Gooch is currently the richest and most successful player on the Tour. If his team wins this week, then he will create a new record. On the other hand, if they lose, then it will be very disappointing for the team but not a big loss for Gooch.
He became the Individual title champion last week in Jeddah and bagged $30 million, thanks to his impressive performance this year. This week in Miami, he and Dustin Johnson made consecutive birdies which helped their teams in getting into the final round. He defeated Eugenio Chacarra and led RangeGoats to the finals.
Now the final round will decide whose team will get the first prize of $16 million. However, a picture from the event has surfaced on the internet in which Gooch is playing alone in a large and empty field with only his caddie by his side. The lack of spectators at the tournament became a matter for trolls on the internet.

Rubbing salt on Talor Gooch’s Ryder Cup wounds, this user trolled him and LIV Golf badly. Subsequently, more fans followed suit.
One person made great use of sarcasm to showcase LIV’s importance in comparison to the Ryder Cup.
May as well cancel the Ryder Cup. They can’t compete with this

Sarcasm definitely seems to be the weapon of choice that most fans went for to mock LIV Golf.
How thrilling for all concerned !

According to one user, what is more important in this scenario is that Gooch will retire comfortably with all his wins. The lack of audience doesn’t seem like a big problem to this person.
He will retire comfortably- that is more important

This user joined the trolling with what seems like a polite question.
Are they not allowed crowds

This user decided to not stop at merely roasting Gooch.
Dam, there’s more noise at the Sunday church.

It’s hard to say that Liv is dead because it was never alive!
