Golf fans rip into LIV announcement: "Looks like a lot of winning by Greg!"
A number of golf fans on X ripped into LIV after the breakaway tour announced a surprising venue choice for the $50m individual championship.
LIV Golf have finally announced the venue for their 2024 individual championship.
That announcement came on 30 April, a few days before the breakaway tour staged their seventh event of the season in Singapore.
Bolingbrook Golf Club will host the $50m individual championship over 13-15 September, and the results will determine the seeds for the team championship a week later.
That venue is still TBD.

If you didn't know, Bolingbrook is a public track located approximately 30 miles outside of Chicago.
The 7,104-yard layout was designed by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest and it features a 'true island green par-3' and a par-5 that Bryson DeChambeau might struggle to reach in two hits.
You can play if for as little as 50 bucks.
Images have been circulating showing the property a little bit run down.
No sooner was the news announced did a number of golf fans on X start offering up their thoughts.
The reaction? Well, it was certainly interesting.
Here's a selection of comments:
"Hopefully they scored the Golf Now Hot deal and saved a few bucks."
"Embarrassing. LIV is a colossal failure."
"The story is as old as time. Get denied by elite privates, jump on Golf Now and book a 'Hot Deal' tee time for the boys."
"If this course was on @Yelp it would have two stars."
"Looks like a lot of winning by Greg."
"Now you can see how the pros can play on a course everyone can afford."
"Looks like Augusta compared to the goat ranch they played in Tulsa."
"It's a fun course, played it twice last year - but for professional golf this will be a joke. Nobody should be over par in my opinion."
Talor Gooch was LIV's individual champion in 2023.
Gooch scooped the top prize of $18,000,000 at the event that was staged in Saudi Arabia.
