    I can't wait for the first player to complain about anything like the spoiled players here do. These golfers are the saudi's newest little toy, they won't like it when they complain like they have done about the hand that fed them here (The PGA).

    Anyone think the saudi's are going to put up with negative comments about their new league?

    I live on an island that has 28 PGA tour players living on it. Most I have never heard of. One hosted a campaign event I went to. He is a nobody in the PGA but his house was incredible and he is clearly doing very well with his endorsements. These guys aren't starving. Chasing the sun and playing a non-contact sport seems to be good to them.

    Greg Norman is worth a half of a billion dollars. Does anyone think we would have ever heard of him without the PGA tour? It is always interesting to me to watch greed destroy the vehicle that put you on its back and drove you there.

    I enjoy the free martlet and competition. Seems like some of you don't.

    The market will work it out.



    The Throbber mostly only cares about the Masters. And ANGC will do whatever the fuck it wants and tell both the PGA and LIV what to do.

    Quite honestly, would rather watch more events like The Match with Sir Charles and the players mic'd up. That was fun TV.

    Like I said, the market will work it out. Maybe the PGA needs to be better.

    Also, The Masters isn't a PGA event. As the Throbber points out. They will do what they want with who they want.

    The feigned outrage over human rights is rich.

    All 4 majors are independent. Anyone qualified now will play. Qualifying going forward will be interesting because world rankings are based on tour events and strength of field

    Of course the PGA tour has to react. People forget that Palmer and Nicklaus broke off the tour from the PGA of America in the 60s

    The players run it.

    Who doesn't enjoy the free market? Do you think that doesn't make what they have done a dick move? Free market has nothing to do with any of this, it has to do with shitting in the palm of the hand that fed you. About getting into bed with the slimy saudi's and ignoring their atrocities against man kind and women so that you can make a few bucks. I hope that jerk off Ian Poulter stays out of this country for good so maybe there is a sliver lining to this afterall.

    I think they should make all the money they can but decisions are not made in a vacuum, there are perceptions and consequences. I think they look ridiculous. The new little saudi play things being led around by a hooded bearded one with a dollar bill on a fish hook.

    What I will be interested in seeing is if any networks here schedule to televise. The uber rich saudi's don't care if they get sponsorship dollars but after awhile people who are so motivated will tire of watching this shit on pay per view YouTube. You think the lineup here is full of nobody's? Wait until a regular tournament for this LIV league. There will be 10 names and then 60 strangers.

    Saudis is simply a talking point from the tour that dumb people have fallen for. The tour takes money from all sorts of terrible people. The allowed that Indonesian that was a leader in actual genocide to play in a pro am for some big bucks a couple years ago (I think he played twice). They signed a fat multi million dollar deal with China in 2018 as well. The club manufacturers that pay the tour lots of money want to get that market open.

    We all have our price, and so does the tour.

    Setting up competition is a dick move? Weird take.

    It will succeed or fail if it's merits. You seem pretty fragile about it. Especially your moral outrage about the Saudis. I'm guessing you're still buying gas and own many things made in China.

    Trump hacked up a journalist for the Saudis who then paid Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars

    The narrative will shift now that Joey has to beg the Saudis for oil
