‘Completely Unwatchable’: Mike Weir’s Side’s Misery Push Fans to Drag LIV Golf Into Unpleasant Presidents Cup Equation

The exclusion of LIV Golf players from the Presidents Cup has sparked heated debates, especially after Mike Weir’s International team suffered a 5-0 defeat on Thursday. Fans are questioning whether the absence of key LIV golfers like Joaquin Niemann, Cameron Smith, and Louis Oosthuizen has tilted the odds heavily in favor of Team USA.

While the current eligibility rules exclude LIV participants, some argue that including them could have bolstered the International squad’s chances. Critics suggest that the imbalance in team selection has made the event less competitive, with many fans calling it “completely unwatchable.”

The decision not to include LIV players has reignited broader discussions about the future of the Presidents Cup. While some fans believe it is just a bad year for Weir’s side, others feel the exclusion has diminished the event’s excitement. With the U.S. boasting a much stronger team on paper, including several top-25 players, the International team has struggled to match up.

As debates rage on about whether LIV golfers should be allowed in future editions, the call for reform—including suggestions for mixed-gender competitions—continues to grow, highlighting a desire for more parity and excitement in the event.
