    LIV should negotiate a package deal with Barkley and TNT.

    With LIV paying TNT to televise it?

    Maybe? I don't know how airtime buys work, if LIV would get the ad revenue or whatever. But spending hundreds of millions on this entire thing and showing it on their Facebook and YouTube pages can't be part of the long-term business plan.

    It would be nice to know what the long-term game plan is other than Greg Norman getting some sort of perceived revenge on the Tour.

    About 15 years ago, When the Women’s Professional Billiards Association Tour’s contract with ESPN ended (the one that aired pool which had been recorded opposite the NFL on Sundays) the network offered them the option of buying the airtime and selling the ad space to offset the cost. So, I would imagine that the Saudis could buy a couple of blocks of time each event and sell ads. Question is, would anyone advertise?

    Board favorite Scott Piercy is leading early at the 3M Open. AP story said he switched his caddie, his swing coach, his driver and his putter last week. And all four of those are probably relieved.

    Not ashamed to admit I watched a staggering amount of women's billiards back in the day. Jeanette Lee, Allison Fisher, Ewa Laurance ...
