There‘s a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried
Attending the first round of LIV Nashville, a 54-hole tournament organized by LIV Golf.

We Tried It: Attending A LIV Event
If you’ve been reading MyGolfSpy for the past six months, you will know that I’ve been critical of the divide in professional golf. In my opinion, the game is not big enough to be fractured and still have success over the long haul.
I’ve voiced my displeasure with LIV for multiple reasons, but the overarching frustration is that the product appears to be a watered-down version of PGA Tour golf. LIV has created a league of 54-hole exhibition events that the masses don’t seem to gravitate to, as evidenced by minuscule TV ratings. I have probably watched no more than 30 minutes of LIV coverage over the past two years. I have no emotional connection to the tournaments, results or most of the players—so I haven’t made it far with my viewing experience.
