Title: Regarding LIV & PGA... Post by: SmokeyJoe on June 18, 2022, 02:56:26 EDT I'm confused now. The PGA ought to shut their trap maybe. Mickelson, who is legendary, was excoriated. The PGA had their tentacles everywhere, but haven't players always played tours in Europe & Asia? :dunno: Maybe I'm confused. I would say the PGA would be a very angry Anglo organization. Just by logical extension. The USGA welcomed players back, right? Everybody knows Phil needs to cover extraordinary gambling debts, and DJ needs to cover the cost of his lady. Come on! What gives with all the hatefulness? Somebody here knows more than me. Give it up!

What gives with all the hatefulness? Somebody here knows more than me. Give it up! :powert: the other tours are “associated” with the PGA.It’s about C O N T R O L The PGA wants to control when and how they fart, NIL, etc Phil especially has been repeatedly critical of the PGA and their general stupidity so they are attempting to make an “example” of him IMO in the end the PGA is the loser, just a question of when the reality of the loss is exposed Title: Re: Regarding LIV & PGA... Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on June 18, 2022, 05:32:17 EDT To me, the PGA response in terms of the Saudi angle reeks of hypocrisy. I believe that the PGA decided to take that stance simply in fear of losing some top pros.
I watched some of the LIV inaugural event and enjoyed the coverage. The talent level isn’t going to be a big draw unless they attract more of the best players in the game, but the coverage was good I thought. I watch golf to see the best in the game compete against each other. For that reason, I think that two “tours”, each attracting some of the best in the game, would make the fans the big losers. For that admittedly selfish reasoning, I really hope that this thing works itself out for the good of the game (whatever that may be). If I want to become actively involved in revolting against the Saudi regime, I will likely first take a long hard look at my own country’s government policies and the corporations which partner with these folks. I won’t start with a group of professional golfers who are out to make a fortune. Title: Re: Regarding LIV & PGA...
