LIV Golf might have its critics but English golfing legend Paul Casey is in no doubt about just what it means to actually get a win on the Saudi-backed tour.

LIV has caused a huge ripple effect in golf over the last few years and it remains to be seen where the game will go as the PGA and LIV continue to be in discussions.

Indeed, suggestions of a merger between LIV and the PGA have been reported recently. But for now, nothing is done, and LIV remains its own entity and competition.

Of course, 2024 felt like a big year for the breakout tour as the likes of Bryson DeChambeau won the US Open, while on the LIV Tour itself, superstar signing Jon Rahm won the individual title and Cam Smith’s Rippers GC won the team competition.

Those wins will mean a lot to the people involved and according to Paul Casey, winning on LIV is arguably harder than on the PGA Tour.

Paul Casey explains why winning an event on LIV Golf is so hard

Speaking in an interview for LIV Golf’s official website, Casey spoke on just how hard it is to get a win on the LIV Tour.

And in doing so, he name-checked the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka as examples of the talent pool in LIV.

“There’s no easy events,” Casey said. “Every time I turn up, it’s Brooks [Koepka] and it’s Joaco [Niemann] and Jon Rahm and Bryson [DeChambeau] and all these guys. I’m not excluding anybody, but it’s where do you hide? You don’t. A win is really an unbelievable achievement out here,” Casey said.

“There’s always somebody there playing great golf. The level of competition is so high that that is what it is. There’s only 13 opportunities; it’s not a lot.”

Can LIV continue to improve and develop in 2025?

The challenge for LIV Golf now is to build on the success they’ve enjoyed in the last 12 months and try and further enhance their product and reputation.

They had some big moments in 2024 that helped the whole LIV product but with Greg Norman potentially moving to another role and Norman himself admitting the lack of a TV deal has hurt the LIV Tour, there’s work to be done.

Still, the players they have onboard, coupled with potential new signings in the next few months, could push LIV to greater heights still.

Yes, we all want a return to some normality in the world of golf. But in the main, LIV has had a positive impact in a lot of aspects and they’ll now be keen to build on that.
