But fans aren’t just celebrating Scheffler’s success—they’re also crediting LIV Golf for pushing the PGA Tour to offer such lucrative incentives. The emergence of LIV Golf has spurred the PGA to introduce initiatives like the Player Impact Program and no-cut signature events, leading to significant increases in prize money and player engagement.

“Thanks @livgolf_league”, said another fan. And well, perhaps the fans are right this time. Adding to the grateful comments, this fan said, “How much of that is thanks to LIV?”, very much, according to the fans. One fan pointed out the obvious and said, “I can see the game growing now”. And well, it is true. The PGA Tour has shown significant growth ever since the LIV came into the game. The no-cut signature events and prize money increases are prime examples of a direct response to the PGA Tour-LIV Golf feud.

“The drop off after 3 is crazy, really shows where the holes are, jon rahm, bryson, brooks could & prob would be there”, said one fan, referring to the players that are under the top three on the 2024 Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 list. Currently, Colin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, and Ludvig Åberg are occupying the 4th, 5th, and 6th place. However, according to the fans, the names could have easily been replaced by Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka, had they not joined LIV Golf.

And yes, with the impressive performances from these players this year, it seems like a fair possibility. Rahm won LIV Golf UK and finished T7 in the British Open, while DeChambeau clinched the trophy at the 2024 U.S. Open, adding a second major title to his name.

As Scheffler basks in his achievements, the golf community is buzzing with speculation about how LIV Golf’s influence will continue to shape the sport. With top players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka now competing in LIV Golf, fans are eager to see how this rivalry will evolve.
