LIV Golf's technical difficulties
On Thursday afternoon, LIV Golf traveled to Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City. Arlo White, one of the event's commentators, addressed the alleged issues that surrounded the tour at the beginning of the broadcast. “Reports of the imminent demise of the LIV Golf League were, in fact, greatly exaggerated," White said. "It must be exhausting trying to will the LIV Golf League out of existence. Take the day off, everybody. Enjoy the golf.” Viewers did indeed try to enjoy the golf, and they did for a brief moment after Joaquin Niemann, last year's winner in Mexico, aced his first hole of the tournament on a par-3 hole. However, this was a short-lived sight for viewers, as the broadcast cut to a technical difficulties screen on the LIV Golf YouTube channel, and a frozen frame on Fox Sports.
