Golf fans are currently in a dilemma about choosing which tournament to watch. With the Senior PGA Championship going on besides the Charles Schwab Challenge, there’s just too much to put their focus on this week. Not to forget, LIV Golf is also hosting its DC event at Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC.
Although the fans can easily watch former tournaments on their televisions, it is not the case for the Saudi League. And to deal with this unavoidable drawback, Greg Norman has been putting in all his efforts to get his fans to stream the event live. However, despite everything he is doing, fans are simply not ready to show acceptance towards LIV Golf.

Greg Norman has been doing everything in his might to provide LIV Golf players and fans with access to the best facilities. From allowing players to wear shorts during tournaments, to hosting absolutely amazing after-parties at the golf club, the golf shark is doing it all. However, he has still not been able to achieve secure a TV rights deal for his league.

Nevertheless, the Saudi-funded tour has tons of other sources for the viewers to watch the game online. Not to forget, LIV Golf recently switched back to streaming the game live on YouTube for a $3 subscription to watch the first round at Washington. Notably, fans found it extremely hilarious and petty considering the huge $405 million total purse at the event.
However, a recent viral video showcases another way for the fans to watch the event live. And it was on the ‘LIV Golf+’ website. As per the tweet, fans could easily get a live broadcast of each par 3 and could have access to individual & team leaderboards at the same time. But as expected, fans did not welcome the idea of watching the game on the website very well. In fact, they ended up berating LIV Golf in the comments section.
Here’s what some of them had to say:
The seven people who watch will be thrilled.

Still no legitimate tv deal. Still no sponsors. Still nobody cares.

No one is watching mate.

While some made fun of the low viewership of the game, others simply laughed and claimed they didn’t care!
Too many graphics for me.

If trump is involved, LIV is going under at some point. Everything he touches turns to trash. Those apps can’t change the pattern.

Well, despite such reactions from the fans, LIV Golf has opened up several channels for golf enthusiasts to watch the game if they wish to.

With players including Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed tied at 11th, the tournament is not going the way fans might have expected.

On the other hand, Henrik Stenson is also very close and is sticking to third place on the leaderboard.
