‘What a Joke’: Fans Show No Mercy to LIV Golf Over Recent Blunder

The inaugural season of the controversial league was streamed on the internet for fans to watch. But for its second season in 2023, LIV Golf made a deal with the CW Network, and this time around, fans have to pay to watch the new league. The Saudi-backed league’s events now air on both the network’s TV channel and the app. While the deal has certainly been beneficial for LIV, recently it proved to be disastrous!

During the final round of the Tulsa event on Sunday, a CW blunder caused the entire golf world to erupt in an uproar against LIV. Caught on the wrong side of the fans wrath once more, the new series had a lot to hear!

LIV Golf suffers a disaster

As LIV’s recent event in Tulsa was almost at its last leg, something unexpected happened as fans watched the nail-biting match from their homes. The blunder occurred when one of the crucial moments of the match was being aired, with Dustin Johnson, Branden Grace, and Cameron Smith all tied for the lead and just three holes left for their fates to be decided.

In many parts of the United States, the CW Network cut out the Tulsa event and began playing various other shows such as Family Feud and Penn & Teller “Animal Style”. The network also replaced the final round of the event with a taped magazine show from years ago. Weirdly, this disaster occurred only in a select few states; in the rest, the final moments of the round aired as is!
