Today in Golf – LIV Golf Revenue Woes, New PXG Golf Ball Review and more

A recent court filing revealed that LIV Golf lawyers reported ‘virtually zero’ revenue for the year 2022

It’s unsurprising that the LIV Golf Tour failed to turn a profit after investing $700 million in talent and product development for its 2022 launch PXG Golf Ball.
Last month, LIV announced a revenue-share agreement with the CW network, in which they will not receive any rights fees, but continue to bear production costs.
On February 24-26, LIV returns to the scene with the launch of its 14-event league at Mayakoba’s El Camaleón Golf Course on the Riviera Maya.

• Soft urethane bright white outer cover: maximizes spin and control for approach shots and around the green with good durability
