Sources tell FTVLive that Nexstar is telling their sports anchors at their stations to talk up the Saudi backed LIV golf tour.

Despite the fact that the tour has little fan interest and has not caught on with golfers or viewers.

The LIV Tour is paying Nexstar to broadcast the tournaments on The CW, which Nexstar runs.

The ratings have been awful to start.

This past weekend, LIV Golf scored a 0.14 in the key demo.

But, despite the low ratings, sources tell FTVLive that Nexstar sent a crew from KRON (San Francisco) to Tucson to cover the gold tournament.
