Do you really think these guys golf for the love of the game? Its a job for them, and a different employer offered more money. PGA will need to respond and my bet is these folks will be allowed to return to majors.

Sergio is whiner like Bryson. Phil is yesterday’s news.
DJ is not winning anymore. Reed is a GOF.
I love the non-profit PGA. Sorry the good players didn’t think they were making enough. Anybody checked the Sunday winnings lately?
JMHO and I watch a lot of golf.
What do you think “GOF” means?

LIV golf won't be more entertaining because they don't give a **** about the product. They stole a format from a different league (The PGL that doesn't yet exist except as a business plan), screwed it up, and put Greg Norman in charge. This is all about marketing for the House of Saud. The players are mostly has beens or never will be's.
Because the Saudi's can fund this league for 1000 years without making money, it isn't going anywhere. They will get some more legit PGA Tour pros, but not the real studs.
They don't have a broadcast deal and are unlikely to get one in the US. Right now, it is going to be on Youtube, where it won't get more viewers than unboxing videos.
It will mostly be played on mediocre courses in front of zero fans because they are charging outrageous sums for entry.
And, if the OWGR doesn't award world rankings points, then most of these guys will not qualify for majors next year.
It will hurt the tour and generally suck for golf. I don't give a **** about the tour, but I love golf.Last edited by El General; 06-08-2022, 01:40 PM.

Also, the PGA Tour is a 501c6 non profit, so they can't just hand out money to the top players. They would lose their tax exempt status and the whole thing would go up in smoke. Any earning opportunity for the players has to be available for all the players.
I think the PGA Tour gets a ton of stuff wrong from the fans perspective, but the players can suck it as far as bitching about the tour. Do the top guys not earn as much as they would if the tour had a different structure? Sure. But, without that structure the tour wouldn't exist and these guys would be hustling 8 handicap bankers on Friday and trying to teach Mrs. Haverkamp not to slice on Saturday.Last edited by El General; 06-08-2022, 01:40 PM.
