True! The money from LIV is tempting, but golf isn’t just about the cash. Reputation matters in this sport. Can he afford to lose respect among peers?

4

Absolutely, and I wonder how fans will react if he leaves the PGA. There’s a strong loyalty factor, and switching could backfire public opinion-wise.

5

Not to mention the impact on his endorsements! Companies may hesitate to sponsor a LIV player, affecting his financial prospects.

6

Exactly! If Finau leaves, some fans might see it as abandoning the tour that built his image. It’s a double-edged sword.

7

Very true! Reputation drives endorsement deals too. If he goes to LIV, he could lose long-term sponsorships with big brands.

But let’s not forget about the potential for a massive payday. Some players are prioritizing financial security over reputation, especially with the uncertain future of golf.

And Finau has a family to think about. If LIV offers him a deal that secures his family’s future, it’d be hard to say no!

10

This whole situation is fascinating! What if Finau joins LIV but continues to play select PGA events? Would that bridge the gap between both tours?

11

That’s an interesting idea! It could potentially help him keep some of the good will from fans while still cashing in on the LIV benefits.

12

But what happens if he starts dominating in LIV? Will that change how the golf community perceives him? It’s a slippery slope.

13

Good point! Success could bring him more respect in LIV, but would it ever be enough to erase any negative perceptions formed?

14

Honestly, if he chose LIV, I’d miss watching him compete in the PGA events. We always cheer for the underdog, and Finau has that vibe.

15

That’s the magic of Finau! His journey resonates with many fans. Switching might change that narrative entirely.

16

This is such a tough call! Can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Either way, I’m here for the drama! Bring on the tea!

This is such a hot topic right now! LIV Golf is enticing players with those massive contracts, while the PGA Tour has a more traditional approach. It’ll be interesting to see if Tony Finau prioritizes money over legacy.

Absolutely! The guaranteed money from LIV could be a game-changer. But does Tony want to go down the more controversial route?

The format in LIV Golf is also quite different — fewer tournaments, more relaxed schedules. That could attract someone like Finau who may be looking for a balance between performance and personal life.

True! The performance expectations are also less intense compared to the PGA. Maybe Tony could excel in a less pressured environment.
