LIV Golf stars all share same opinion on Saudi move after quitting PGA Tour to join Greg Norman

A group of stars have spoken out on the importance of the breakaway league's reduced schedule compared to the demands of the with Team Championship winner

Herbert - who helped guide Cam Smith's Ripper GC to last month - opened up on his first season with the breakaway league last week, and highlighted how having just 14 events in his calendar helped him improve his performance on the course in 2024.

"I played so much more in 2023, but it’s just a perfect schedule now,” he told "You get your time to get away from the game and get your development blocks to be able to get better, not just from a perspective of hitting balls for three or four days and then go to an event, you can actually really work on your game and elevate your skill set rather than just tune it up.

"I’ve spent 10 months now taking advantage of that opportunity, it’s been awesome." The Australian went on: "I am comfortably, comfortably better this year. I mean, Cam Smith gave me an hour of his time on the chipping ground at the Greenbrier. Can’t imagine that ever happening to any other player when we’re playing individual events on the PGA Tour.

“So just the knowledge I’ve been able to zap from my teammates at various stages throughout the year has been awesome, and my game has massively benefited from that.” Unsurprisingly Herbert is not the first man to make the LIV switch who has hailed the schedule of the league.

One of LIV's most high profile figures in Dustin Johnson is of the same opinion, who claimed playing less whilst competing for more money "For me it was playing less, making more money. Pretty simple," Johnson told Netflix's Full Swing cameras in season one of the behind-the-scenes show.

"Someone offers anyone a job, doing the same thing they're already doing but less time at the office and they're gonna pay them more. Pretty sure you're gonna take it. And something's wrong with you if you didn't." Johnson's former 4Aces teammate Talor Gooch is also in agreement.

"That’s one of the things that is great about LIV," he told last month. Rather than playing 30 times a year like I did on the PGA Tour, having 14 events makes it easier to bring the family out on the road. I’m not out on the road for long stretches at a time. It just gives me more time at home, too, which is fantastic."

As alluded to by Gooch, less golf means more family time for those on the breakaway league, which also proved a huge plus for "It has benefited my life," the Spaniard recently told Mirror Sport. "It has made my life more manageable with family and everything.

"So in a way that helps. I am more settled not only financially, but as a family, time-wise the time you are able to spend with the family, resting and getting your body rebooted and recharged, that is something unfortunately we didn’t really have.” The one man who began the LIV exodus from the PGA Tour is

And Mickelson gave as good a reason as any as why the league's schedule is superior to their Tour rivals. Love LIV or hate it, it’s the best way/Tour to be your best in the majors," he tweeted last May. "Enough events to keep you sharp, fresh and ready, yet not be worn down from too many tournaments or obligations. 14 LIV events, 34 weeks left open to prepare for the 4 majors. Fact.”
