Saudi LIV Tour

So, you golf fans out there, what is your feeling on the new Saudi tour that will be based on popularity and not on actual golf performance. As a fan, the PGA tour, now enhanced with the Fed Ex Cup is a pretty entertaining tour. This reminds me of when the Indy 500 decided to compete with a very popular American CART circuit and ended up destroying American open wheel racing. The Saudis are just throwing money at the players and unlike say the old AFL, there was a shortage of teams in the old NFL to meet demand. Now Saudi money is dirty and if they were an actual tour player, they would be kicked off the PGA tour. Same if it was any major sporting league. The Saudis make Deshaun Watson look like Philip "Golly, dadgummit!! Rivers.
Now, the US government has no problem sending US dollars to the Saudis or the chicoms, but this is actually taking Saudi dollars. Me, I'm out on the Saudi tour and expect it will have a negative effect on the game that made the PGA tour players immensely wealthy.

Saudis are equally as dirty as the Chinese. I laugh at people getting bent out of shape on that point and then tuning into the NBA Finals.
It’s going to suck in all likelihood. A few big names that are certainly past their prime (aside from Bryson, but maybe he is too now)and a bunch of foreigners that only Race and I have heard of. To get into majors, you either need to have won a major or have a high official world golf ranking. If they don’t get tanking status, then how are their up and coming players going to qualify? -
Earlier this week I asked where the chokers and washed up non winners will come from if LIV breaks the tours
It's a dumb idea that has nothing to do with the Saudis

I would have sold out for the money to be clear.

A no brainer for the average golfer. But the douce Dustin Johnson has a new worth of $50 million and now he has more and a reputation he had worked pretty hard on restoring is now shot. Same with Phil. He will have a hard time replacing all his lost endorsement money. Americans don't like an uneven playing field unless you are a democrat. Very few democratic Americans left.Bob_C said:I would have sold out for the money to be clear.

I was gonna say the opposite. Phil got like $200m and DJ got like $150-$200. Both are basically exempt in all majors for awhile. DJ would have to win ten FedEx cups in a row to make that kind of cash. He could win another 10 pga tour events and it wouldn’t improve his legacy even close to what another major or two would do.WestlinnDuck said:
