David Feherty hoping to 'p*ss off at least one viewer' or more ahead of LIV Golf's sophomore year

David Feherty is set to continue his broadcasting career with LIV Golf on the back of a five-year deal with the rebel golf league. The once controversial PGA Tour commentator has landed with a new home.

He recently revealed why he moved from the PGA Tour, where everything is generally more well-respected in the game of golf, to LIV Golf via Golf Digest:

“I felt I couldn't say what I was thinking for fear someone, somewhere would be offended. Also, the money was terrific."

Feherty also went into detail about what he expects from season two, including a brand new segment that's totally on brand for the controversial and colorful commentator:

“We’ve got a new feature that we’re calling WTF. It stands for What The Feherty. I’ll be exploring different topics. The first one is going to cover statistics; you know, the old Mark Twain adage about three kinds of lies. There are so many meaningless statistics in golf. Three-putt avoidance … what is that? Isn’t that just two-putt acceptance? I’ll do a bit like that one every week, gravitating toward anything but the actual playing of golf.”

He added that he's specifically setting out to annoy some people, something he didn't feel he could do while working on the PGA Tour:

“My goal is to piss off at least one viewer per week, but I’m hoping for more. I'm just ready to get to work. I’ve been sitting around way too long, and I need to be busy. I’ve been looking forward to this."

The fact that David Feherty is working for LIV Golf couldn't be more perfect. For one, Feherty's style and personality fit right in with the rebel league where there is an us against the world mentality.

Secondly, his controversial style won't ruffle many feathers at LIV, so he can be a little more free. Finally, LIV needed a TV deal badly to ensure that they'd be able to continue for the foreseeable future. Not only did that happen, but they have an iconic name attached to the broadcasting crew now, too.

LIV Golf members won't be barred from PGA Championship

There's been a lot of debate over whether or not major tournaments should allow LIV Golf members to play. The Masters was the first domino to fall, allowing LIV members who qualify to play.

Major tournaments won't disallow LIV Golf players

The U.S. Open and the Open Championship also followed suit. Now, the PGA Championship has made its decision. They, too, will allow the rebel golfers to play, but aren't happy about the division per Sports Illustrated:

“Sadly, the current division in the professional game is not good for the sport or the future of the game. We hope there might be some resolution soon. In the meantime, as always, our focus will be on our mission to grow the game and improve the lives of our members, who work so hard to impact millions of lives every day.”
