It is difficult to give a true answer as to how many are satisfied and how many are not with the decision to join LIV Golf, but it seems that the majority have a degree of regret for such a decision. Still not eligible for OWGR points, a large number of LIV Golfers are missing out on the opportunity to play in the Majors; tournaments that are usually the biggest motivation for golfers.
There are a few golfers who have spoken openly about some of LIV's shortcomings.
However, there are also those who emphasize the positive aspects of the Saudi-backed Tour, delighted with its progress.
Kevin Na, a golfer who left the PGA Tour in 2022, reflected on the LIV adventure, saying that he is primarily delighted because he can play in Asian countries, with Asian fans.
He is proud because he can take his children to these tournaments and show them different parts of the world.

Speaking about the LIV experience, Kevin Na does not seem to see any shortcomings.
I will be honest, I have never been happier at home. My golf game honestly has not been that great but I feel in the last few rounds something has clicked and I think I am about to go on a good run of golf. But at home I am home more often for my kids, I get to travel the world with my family.
Looking back at it now I think it was a great decision. I have talked about this with my wife and when we go back two and a half, three years ago, we go back and if we had a time machine would we make the same decision? The answer is yes.- he said, as quoted by the Golfing Gazette.

Fight for survival
While he is enjoying the experience, the famous golfer has not excelled at LIV Golf since joining the controversial Tour. He is currently struggling to avoid relegation, and the upcoming tournaments will be a real chance for him to improve his performance.
It would be really strange if a golfer of his caliber ends his LIV adventure earlier than expected.
