"Like a powerful magnet, LIV drew in the malcontents, the mercenaries, and the misfits of the golf world, many of them unified by this idea they had been wronged somewhere, and that they deserved the kind of power, influence, and money their talent could not justify in a normal sports economy. This was a chance to not only get rich, but to also get revenge. On whom and for what, exactly, it was never entirely clear. From the beginning, figures like Norman and Mickelson insisted they would have the last laugh, that they could see the entire chessboard. The fact that both men were absent from the scene when LIV unceremoniously died in bankruptcy court Thursday morning is disappointing, but perhaps fitting. Each of them cemented their legacy as a talented-but-manipulative scoundrel, and LIV burning through more than $5 billion before it was shuttered with no true believers left can be held up forever as their pièce de résistance." - @KVanValkenburg
