Not done: Probably too soon to describe a fledgling organisation as LIV a "key tour", and source doesn't support that claim. wjematherplease leave a message... 15:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Wjemather,
- Thank you for your feedback, and totally understand that LIV Golf is a newer organization, but LIV Golf can be considered an established organization. As per the sources included below, LIV Golf has successfully held events, has a roster of major names in golf, including Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer, Charl Schwartzel and Graeme McDowell. It also has a substantial purse of $25 million per event, on top of prize money for team competition.
- If you have any suggestions as to where this may fit better within the article, I’m happy to have that discussion as well.

LIV Tour in 2014?
[edit]The article claims that the fifth through eighth-richest tours as of 2014 (in alphabetical order) were: "Asian Tour; Japan Golf Tour; LIV Golf; LPGA of Japan Tour". How could LIV Golf be listed there when it didn't start until 2021 -- and when it did start, it was known for its enormous prize money which would rank it much higher? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
