The LIV Golf tour will begin its 2023 schedule this upcoming weekend, and will mark the debut of its television deal with The CW. However, WFAN morning host Boomer Esiason isn’t sure the deal is great for either entity.
While discussing the lack of stars now featured on the PGA Tour Monday morning, Esiason said he wouldn’t be watching LIV Golf, especially not on a network like The CW.
“I’m not watching it. On The CW? Come on now,” quipped Esiason.
“I can’t believe they actually got a TV deal,” Giannotti said.
“I think they bought into it,” countered Esiason. “I think they probably bought the time on CW. There’s no way CW’s paying them. No way. You can’t make any money on it. They bought onto the CW to get some sort of presence on TV here in the States other than YouTube.”
Giannotti then asked if former WFAN and CBS Sports Radio host Marc Malusis works at The CW. When update anchor Jerry Recco confirmed that Malusis worked for the local CW affiliate, Giannotti joked about the network’s deal with the controversial golf league.
“You think he got any of that Saudi money?” Giannotti wondered.
“No, I don’t,” chucked Esiason. “They’re foreigners. They don’t care. They just want more money. They don’t care.”
“‘Dude, I’m working less, I’m making more,'” Giannotti said as he impersonated Malusis. “‘I don’t care. I know they killed that journalist, but I wasn’t there’.”
