Is Kyle Porter a hypocrite for joining TGL after bashing LIV Golf's team concept?

We all know how Tiger Woods’s brainchild TGL has been making waves in the golf industry with its innovative approach, captivating storylines, and talented individuals driving its success. Now, Kyle Porter is thrilled to be a part of this revolutionary league as the lead writer at TGL Golf. This exciting opportunity allows him to play a key role in shaping the narrative of TGL’s groundbreaking journey.

As TGL prepares to unleash a fresh take on the traditional game, Porter will provide insightful coverage through engaging content and in-depth analysis. From player profiles to tournament previews, his goal is to showcase the league’s vision and energy. His first piece for TGL Golf drops this Thursday, marking the beginning of an exciting journey. Readers are invited to join him as he delves into the world of TGL, exploring its unique blend of technology, teamwork, and competition.

“Pumped to be a tiny part of @TGL this year as the lead writer at http://tglgolf.com. There is so much potential for what this league could be, and I’m excited (and hopeful) to watch it unfold. First piece for the site drops Thursday!”, he said in his latest post on X. But there’s a problem: see, the thing is, Porter has been a very loud hater of LIV Golf, and his new role at TGL raises interesting questions about his stance on the rival league and how it will influence his coverage.

Netizens throw hate on Kyle Porter for being a TGL supporter

What’s your perspective on:

Is Kyle Porter a hypocrite for joining TGL after bashing LIV Golf's team concept?

Have an interesting take?

Starting off strong with what this one fan said, “Hard pass”, while the other said “Wait, you suddenly like the team concept? After $hitting on LIV since its inception. Okayyyy buddy. lol”, and well it is true. Porter has been pointing out his criticisms about LIV Golf for quite a while now, and the 2024 major season only reinforced his skepticism. Noting the lackluster performances of LIV’s top players, Porter expressed his bafflement to Fried Egg Golf, saying, “I’m glad you brought up LIV, one of my takeaways from this year was their players sucked at majors, outside of Bryson [DeChambeau].”

Despite DeChambeau’s impressive showings, including a US Open win and strong finishes at The Masters and PGA Championship, other LIV stars like Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson failed to deliver, with Porter labeling their performances as “mediocre” or “bad.” This was exactly what some fans pointed out by saying, “Ripping LIV but jumping on board for this stupid shit is hilarious Kyle”, and “Can’t wait for your a** to sit on here and talk about how this is a good product, but LIV is so awful to watch.”

Not a while ago, Porter begrudgingly conceded that one of the league’s innovative features has won him over, stating, “I hate to admit this, but the live team leaderboard is very cool.” It’s clear that Porter’s admiration for this aspect of LIV Golf was reluctant as if he was forced to acknowledge its appeal despite his overall reservations about the league. Another fan took a harsh dig at Porter and wrote, “You’re officially a clown”. So, that was what the fans and Porter think of TGL. What are your thoughts on the matter?
