“I repeat. Dead in the water” – Fans crack jokes as LIV Golf announces its first ‘official global partner’
LIV Golf announced its first official global partner, "EasyPost", on Wednesday, February 22. While sharing the news on Twitter, they wouldn't have expected the reaction they'd get from golf Twitter.
Twitter users were hilarious in their replies. Here's a look at some of the replies:
"Need a creative director?"
"where can we expect news for viewers outside the US"
"2400 followers, seems on brand with LIV"
"I repeat. Dead in the Water. Greg is going to have to tee it up."
"They beat Ticonderoga pencil to the punch. So close..."
"HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY THEM"
"A shipping company that tweets mostly about NFL?"
"Soon enough many will be wanting to be associated with #LIVGolf"
"Bye bye @easypost … used y’all once and now you are forgotten. Pass it on"
"What the hell is easy post?"
"Tweeting about @TigerWoods 4 days ago. Someone better tell them the consequences..."
"If you google easypost there's an article where the CEO projected 100 million in revenue for 2022, but when you check financials the actual revenue was 19.6 million. 12.5 mil was funding. Fyi private company. Always do the math check."
"I don't know EasyPost, I know HardPost, WoodPost, and StiffPost..."
"Obviously a partial barter. They’ll still pay to get therer sets and props to the courses but at a discount. Easy Post should change there Corporate colors to Blood Red and Bonesaw white."
"EasyPost also sponsors a cycling team. Look at pro cycling and you'll have a good idea of where LIV Golf is heading"
"A Trump donor who was gifted millions in PPP loans. Fitting right in with the Trump and Saudi narrative. Great sponsorship guys!"
"'Growing the game' with no TV coverage outside of the US. Couldn't even give away the TV rights in the UK..... embarrassing !!"
"Have no idea what @easypost is or does, but I won't ever use them..."
"So easy post will be sending you letters to tell you that you have been dropped from Liv Golf."
"EasyPost revenue is $5.1M annually. After extensive research and analysis, Zippia's data science team found the following key financial metrics. EasyPost has 169 employees, and the revenue per employee ratio is $30,177. EasyPost peak revenue was $5.1M in 2021."
"Groundbreaking stuff. Glad you are aligning with everything Maga"
"This is almost as big as signing with cw as a network to show your tournaments. liv just making waves haha, maybe ripples is more accurate than waves"
"I love the replies..every post about LIV gets a 99% negative reaction..that's where its at...a dead in the water retirement tour."
