Far from rescuing golf, he has plunged it into a profound crisis, where many of the game’s leading men are squirrelled away on a tour whose TV ratings are pathetically low.
Already a subscriber?Greg Norman, a man of such modesty that he once named his £65 million yacht “Aussie Rules”, is never knowingly understated. And so despite his presence at Augusta being about as welcome as lawn fungus, and despite being forced to scrabble for a ticket on the secondary market, the LIV ringmaster still likened his fleeting stop here to a state visit.
Augusta did not want him near the place, desperately wishing he would take his disruptive exhibitionism elsewhere. Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, with 11 major titles between them, did at least squeeze through to the weekend, before fading into competitive irrelevance.By far the most galling experience, though, belonged to Jon Rahm, for whom a year must feel like an aeon.
What is going on? Are the LIV rebels truly sabotaging themselves by retreating to a schedule of glorified hit-and-giggles, playing in shorts on resort courses whose condition would horrify Augusta’s greenkeepers?This theory holds true in the case of Johnson, a two-time major winner who acts as if he has given up on being a serious contender.
