Any truth to the rumors of a LIV event in New Orleans?

The rumor i heard was the chances of the Zurich dying are high, and that the foundation would try to work a deal to bring LIV to TPC.
I personally think that would never happen, but if LIV does come to new orleans, do the play Bayou Oaks South Course?

There’s 0% chance the fore kids foundation (which works directly with the PGA) would work to put a LIV event in New Orleans. There’s lesser chance that event would be hosted at TPC LA.
The rumor about LIV in NOLA is around the superbowl weekend and will be at English turn.

A person who I think would know told me English Turn was the course discussed but I really don't know if it is correct. Basically just another rumor I guess.
Just editing to say I re-read post above stating same thing but with more detail. Maybe it is true.

Why is the Zurich dying?

More like zero chance that LIV will have an event at a venue that is owned and operated by the PGA Tour. Come on.

A PGA operated course would allow a LIV event? Come on man you can’t be serious.

LIV approached English Turn and a few other courses about a possibility during the super bowl. The pro at english turn contacted one of the Mackels (don't know which one) and they did a story on it.
Since then, its been reported by other people that Mike (ET golf pro) has said the idea is dead but don't know how much truth there is to that
Thats about as much as anyone really knows at this point.
This had nothing to do with the Zurich dying or an event in place of a PGA event.

It's not. Not even close.

I didn't think so. TPC was bumping on Saturday and Sunday when we were out there.

English Turn will probably screw it up

So 3-4 days after the biggest star, maybe ever.. played in and won… the tournament is somehow doing worse?

The crowds out in Avondale seem considerably less than the crowd seen on TV at other events

Quick google search of “Zurich Classic Attendance” just debunked that LINK
quote:
The Zurich Classic is in better shape than ever. Rarely does an event under promise and overdeliver. But this year's Zurich certainly did, exceeding expectations in every way — attendance, TV ratings, sales numbers, star power. The tournament set daily attendance records on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when the crowd topped 36,000 and produced unprecedented six-figure concession sales, tournament officials said. “It’s been an incredible week,” said Steve Worthy, the CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, which operates the tournament for the PGA Tour. “The reviews, everything we’re hearing from everybody is so positive. I think that word will travel and certainly we hope to continue building on the good fields we’ve had.”
quote:
A long-term commitment from Zurich as the title sponsor beyond 2026 will be important to the tournament’s future health. But all signs point to a long-term agreement between the sides, continuing a mutually beneficial relationship that’s prospered for two decades. “I feel good about the future,” Worthy said. “I feel like we’re in a good spot. And the tournament just gets bigger and better every year. I feel like Zurich will walk away very happy with where things are this week, and when decisions are made about where the future goes, I think we’ll be well positioned.”

Debunked what??? The crowds in New Orleans are a lot lower than at other events. Your link just proved that.

Of course, the local guy who’s future depends on the tournament being in New Orleans is going to say great things.. While they may have had the best year in a while, it doesn’t take away from the fact that if this event was moved to a larger market, that currently doesn’t have a tournament, they could command higher prices, bring in larger crowds which will lead to even more concessions and merchandise sales.. The PGA Tour moving to a for-profit organization is going to have to do something to increase revenues somehow especially to make those stock options they just gave the players worth the valuation

That is speculation.
The Zurich is not leaving New Orleans
