Seems the final Farmers Open had a 2nd or 3rd rate field again this year & CBS should be happy that coverage of Brooks Koepka kept fan interest. PGA Tour seems to display a weak product when it is not a signature event.

Torrey Pines is pretty to look at, but it's not a wildly popular venue with players. If they're going to suffer bad greens, they'd rather do it at Pebble or Riviera.

Excellent breakdown of LIV's current struggles! The loss of Koepka and Reed realy shows how the tour's value was tied to its big names. I remember watching LIV's debut season and thinking the star power was thier main selling point, so losing prime-age champions hits hard. Without that wattage, it's tough to compete with the PGA Tour momentum.

Thanks. The wattage is even lower the first 2 events now with Lee Westwood out nursing an injury.
