"Might need to drop a lawsuit first."

The LIV golfers filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour barring them from playing on their tours. In response, the tour sued them for luring their players. A hearing on the case is yet to come.

Fans also wrote that Greg Norman was accepting that LIV golf did not have an audience to watch their matches.

"Greg owning up to the fact that no one watches LIV and the only way to get viewers is to use PGA Tour players is really kind of sad, " tweeted a user.

It is worth mentioning that LIV Golf recently signed a contract with the CW Network, which will televise their matches for the 2023 season.

The first season of LIV Golf aired on their YouTube channel, and fans took a jab at it, saying:

"He forgot to add this would be aired on a subscription only YouTube channel, attracting even less viewers than the free YouTube channel LIV currently airs on."
