LIV Golf Series faces an uphill task of winning over people ahead of the season finale
LIV Golf has been a conduit for talent since its initiation. Therefore, when talent pops up, even on the greens unexpectedly, they let them do their thing. Albeit for a limited time only, when it is unrelated to golf.
Such a hilarious and somewhat weird incident happened before the $25,000,000 LIV Golf London tournament commenced. The act left many people enraged while others had a hearty laugh at the carefree presentation.
An intriguing start to LIV Golf London

People seemed to be enjoying the tee-off due to the tension-breaking performance. LIV Golf remains a place for people to showcase their talents. Although this particular brand of hilarity may not have agreed with everyone.

During the performance, a couple of dancers kicked it up a notch with a lift that didn’t seem entirely choreographed, but it added to the fun of making light of the situation. LIV golfers have looked forward to this event in London for days. Some of the American golfers missed the 4th of July celebrations to prepare for the tournament. The flash mob seemed like a good way to enjoy life amidst the palpable tension. It may also have been an attempt to honor the 1-year anniversary of the Saudi-backed circuit. But some fans were not on board with the performance!
Fans had a divided opinion about the outburst of song and dance
In light of the recent development, before the players could tee off at the first hole, fans shared a sectarian response to the flash mob. Some were seriously outraged that such an incident was allowed at a professional golfing event. They even compared it to the Major Championships with a starchy outlook.
This is the most offensive thing LIV has done to date

I saw someone say every LIV tourney is like a major…imagine this at a major championship 😂😂 oh and Diplo bumping bangers while hitting a putt worth 20g’s

Some fans seemed appalled by the demonstration. They spoke of losing interest in LIV Golf thanks to the flash mob.
I was starting to come around on LIV after leaderboards like Valderrama, but…..this is horrific.

However, some fans who remain loyal to LIV Golf took it in stride. After all, it is a celebration. Why not commemorate it with a little fun, right?
I’ll give LIV one thing. They always provide great comedy!

Awesome stuff! Flash mobs are LiT

While others took a sarcastic approach.
Augusta should ditch the whole honorary starter thing and replace it with this – give the fans what they want, grow the game!

When do they put the alcohol out on the golf course and add cart girls?
