“Nobody goes to LIV events” – Fans take sarcastic jabs at LIV Golf under throwback post for lack of audience
LIV is one of the most controversial golf series. Since its inception, it has landed in hot water for many reasons. The series struggled to get on the same page as the PGA Tour and thus received much hate.
Despite all the challenges, the inaugural season of LIV Golf successfully concluded on October 31. Following the first season, the show plans to extend its roots worldwide.

LIV Golf recently dropped a video of their match from Jeddah on Twitter. The clip saw Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri hitting a shot in the tournament's final round.
Fans reacted in the comments section after seeing empty seats. They wrote:
"And the crowd goes wild. Oh wait, nobody goes to LIV events."
@LIVGolfInv AND THE CROWD GOES WILD
Oh wait
Nobody goes to LIV events
Anirban Lahiri had a great shot, and the ball went straight into the hole, but there was no one to cheer for him in the crowd. The standings were all clear, with only staff and officials around.
People noticed it and went on to write in the post's comments section.
"Jeddah? Is that the exhibition that literally 5 people came out to watch?"
@LIVGolfInv Jeddah?
Is that the exhibition that literally 5 people came out to watch?
"Fantastic atmosphere," said another.
The fans went on to say:
"Podium? Crushers? Lol"
@LIVGolfInv Podium? Crushers? Lol
People took a jab at the LIV Golf clip and said:
"Yes, the fan was going crazy."
@LIVGolfInv YES!!! The FaN was going crazy!
Anirban Lahiri is a Florida-based Indian golfer. He played on the Asian and PGA Tours before signing a deal with the LIV Golf Series.
