How green is the grass on the other side?

If it's greener on the other side, stay there. 

That's my opinion on those who sign up for LIV Golf.

Last month three golfers filed a court injunction to play in the Fedex Cup playoffs, the lucrative end-of-season events of the PGA Tour.

The three players -- Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones -- had all jumped ship to the obscene money of LIV Golf but come last month they wanted to jump back again.

The injunction was unsuccessful, thank goodness. 

If golfers feel they can't turn down the millions of dollars from LIV Golf, that's fine. But don't expect to have the best of both golf worlds by being able to play the PGA Tour as well.

One of the reasons given by some LIV Golf converts was that it gave them the opportunity to play less golf. Isn't it funny how they still want to play when there's a bit of money up for grabs on the PGA Tour.

There might be a huge amount of money in the pot for LIV Golf tournaments but how competitive are the tournaments? Did you know there's a team's event compenent to LIV Golf tournaments? Can you name any team winner so far? I'll make it easier, can you name any team?

Because there is so much money, does it even matter who wins?

At least the likes of the PGA Tour in the United States and the DP World Tour in Europe remain highly competitive. There are thousands of golfers around the world who are striving to make the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.

And those who do make the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour have to work just as hard to stay there. I don't get that feeling from LIV Golf.

Competition is what makes sport. Competition is what draws fans. It's not all about the money.

The most competitive event in golf, which fans are fascinated by, is the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup has no prizemoney. Zero dollars. 

I wonder what happens to the players who have moved to LIV Golf but are not getting starts. Where do they play? Are they now putting in two dollars to play the stableford competition at their local golf club?

Also, unless something changes in the future, some of the biggest names in golf will gradually drift off the scene because they won't earn points for a world ranking.

Do you wonder what the likes of Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Bryson deChambeau are doing these days? Do you care?

Johnson, last month, dropped to a world ranking of 21, the first time in seven years he has not been inside the top 20.

DeChambeau dropped to No 33 last month, his worst ranking in more than four years.

Another LIV Golf convert Ian Poulter continues to play the DP Golf Tour under a stay of proceedings from court action.

Poulter says the DP Golf Tour, previously named the European Tour, has been his home for 24 years. 

 “I feel comfortable in the position that I have always committed to the European Tour. This has always been my home tour for 24 years,'' Poulter told one British newspaper.

So what's that all about? He signs for the big dollars of LIV Golf but still wants to play the DP World Tour. Is he frustrated he can't get to play as often as he used to? Another who wants the best of both worlds. 

I can understand the money from LIV Golf is hard to decline. But golfers must ask themselves what is the best thing to do? Many players on the PGA Tour and DP Golf Tour make millions of dollars and those tours are the ones that fans look to for real competition.
