LIV Golf Hong Kong Review & Singapore Preview - The League Itself Podcast

·59 min·4 clips

Singapore's Sentosa course is 7,400 yards, punishingly soft, and exposed to thunderstorms at any moment.

1. The League Itself reviews Jon Rahm's LIV Golf Hong Kong victory and previews the Singapore event at Sentosa. 2. Liv Golfbuff and Liver and Onions host the discussion as LIV Golf-focused commentators assessing tournament results, standings, and player form. 3. The episode asks whether Rahm's Hong Kong week will be remembered more for his three-shot victory or for arranging travel for eight golfers and their families. 4. Rahm began the week amid controversy involving the DP World Tour before recovering from a subdued first round. 5. Rahm used strong wedge play on Hong Kong's softened fairways to take and retain the lead. 6. Thomas Dietry finished three shots behind Rahm after arriving without having played the course since approximately 2017. 7. Rain produced preferred lies during the first two rounds, and only three players from the opening top ten remained there at the finish. 8. Carlos Ortiz shot a 60, while Victor Perez and Graeme McDowell each made an ace during the tournament. 9. Caleb Surratt's strong final-round front nine nearly helped his team, but Matthew McKibbin's back-nine struggles cost them the team competition. 10. The hosts criticize the lack of sustained pressure from Varner, Dietry, Burmester, and Ortiz during Rahm's final round. 11. Laurie Canter shot 65 despite never having seen the course, while Sam Horsfield started well before fading from contention. 12. Matt Wolff's ball striking and Harold Varner's contention are presented as Hong Kong surprises. 13. Louis Oosthuizen closed with three consecutive 65s after opening with a one-over round and finished 14 under. 14. Richard T Lee, Scott Vincent, and Bjorn Helgren all finished T31 or better, placing three wild cards in the lock zone. 15. Lee Westwood's 18th-place finish is contrasted with Phil Mickelson's slow start and the points currently needed to reach the open zone. 16. Singapore's Sentosa course has produced winners including Taylor Gooch, Brooks Koepka, and Joaquin Niemann. 17. The hosts connect strong putting with last year's top-five results and identify Cameron Tringale as a 100-to-1-style dark horse based on his course history. 18. The format is a two-host review and preview with player-by-player opinions, course analysis, standings discussion, and informal disagreement. 19. LIV Golf fans tracking Hong Kong results and Singapore contenders. 20. Listeners uninterested in professional golf tournament analysis.
