“Golfers must be having a terrible time” – Fans react to ‘cool’ BMX freestyle show at LIV Golf Tulsa
After two tournaments outside of the country, the LIV Golf series will return to America. The series' next event is set to take place in Tulsa from May 12 to May 14.
LIV Golf planned a BMX freestyle display prior to the event's start. They tweeted a short clip of the performance with the caption:
"LIV Golf ➕ BMX = 🔥. Last night at @usabmx was wild."
Fans flocked to the comments section to discuss the show. Some were blown away by the performance, while others were let down. They wrote:
"Golfers must be having a terrible time at LIV."
"Cool to see BMX team up with minor league golf."
"This was the sneakiest of sneaky cool spots in smallish towns."
"Maybe this will distract everyone from the fact that you couldn’t convince anyone better than the fifth best golf course in Broken Bow, OK to host."
The LIV Golf Tulsa is the year's fifth tournament.
