So for the first time since its inception not only did LIV get a good crowd, it was a crowd they didn't give away the majority of their tickets too. This should be their business model for the foreseeable future. Hell even somewhere like here, where a PGA event is unlikely to ever come, I could see them drawing well for a LIV event at Mickelson National. Go get blasted drunk, see some star players putting in a C+ effort, see some C-List country star or DJ playing a concert, I could see it doing alright.

I was actually just thinking this morning that Liv would be an awesome event in Canada, especially western Canada. PGA comes to Ontario but it is poorly scheduled and a poor field although last year it was significantly better. The Shaw event in Calgary with the Champions always gets a good turnout so I don't see why Liv couldn't draw a good crowd in the Calgary region or Vancouver or Edmonton.
