Talk:Professional golf tours

Edit request

Add the following information to this sentence “The dates of establishment of the other key tours include: LPGA Tour (1950); Japan Golf Tour (1973); Asian Tour (1995).”:

“and the LIV Golf Invitational Series (2022).”

 Not done: Probably too soon to describe a fledgling organisation as LIV a "key tour", and source doesn't support that claim. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 15:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Wjemather,

Thank you for your feedback, and totally understand that LIV Golf is a newer organization, but LIV Golf can be considered an established organization. As per the sources included below, LIV Golf has successfully held events, has a roster of major names in golf, including Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer, Charl Schwartzel and Graeme McDowell. It also has a substantial purse of $25 million per event, on top of prize money for team competition.

If you have any suggestions as to where this may fit better within the article, I’m happy to have that discussion as well.

Thank you!

LIV Tour in 2014?

The article claims that the fifth through eighth-richest tours as of 2014 (in alphabetical order) were: "Asian Tour; Japan Golf Tour; LIV Golf; LPGA of Japan Tour". How could LIV Golf be listed there when it didn't start until 2021 -- and when it did start, it was known for its enormous prize money which would rank it much higher? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
