My main issue with LIV is the source of the money. I’ve heard that LIV has 700 billion dollars at its disposal. And Saudi Arabia supports and harbors terrorists, whether they admit it or not. All twenty of the 911 highjackers were Saudi nationals. The whole thing smells like a dead fish.

Stop complaining about the situation if you have no idea how things work.

@@demsareunamerican6800 Ever been on a condo board? It’s like that. The board is made up of owners but that doesn’t mean that everyone is happy about every decision. There is constant bitching. The PGA tour was set up as a non profit BY THE PLAYERS. There is no corporate ownership. Corporations sponsor events and the Tour runs those events. Everyone who works for the tour is on salary including the commissioner and these people DO NOT OWN THE TOUR. This basic lack of understanding is why so many fools come on here talking crap about things they know nothing about. The Tour has never ever screwed the players over. After expenses and charity the Players get all the revenue. There are no owners taking any profit whatsoever. If you think there are then name these owners. You can’t because they don’t exist. And LIV is a government entity that is making these ridiculous payments from oil revenue. If they were an actual competitor that had to pay players from golf revenue they would have gone bankrupt immediately. They will probably be paying off employees of the Tour like Monahan and board members to get what they want, but those deals have not been disclosed yet as far as I know.

Because this is golf. Golf is a small niche sport with a small fan base, which isn’t large enough to support 2 organizations here in the US. Look at how popular the NFL is, but football has always struggled to maintain a second league ie the USFL! Just look at the current viewership numbers. The PGA take the 2 tour championships. LIV averaged 300,000 viewers where PGA Tour championship average close to 5 million. The PIF isn’t going to keep LIV going forever with that kind of loss. Plus traditional golf fans, those 5 million, HATE the golfers that have left and have turned their backs on them hence the poor ratings! I’ll be honest with you it’s hard to find and the broadcast is pretty poor. They haven’t invest in their broadcast enough and marketed enough to lure any of those 5 million fans. Those people are too loyal, most being local PGA members, to switch!

Continuing: silver spoon types with an 1800s and early 1900s mentality. They refused to up date the game and hide large sums of money from the players. Gregg Norman tried to work within the PGA to improve the game and make it a true world wide sport which would promote golf world wide. They pretended to hold a meeting to openly discuss his proposal but orchestrated a a few influential golfers to kill the proposal. Then a couple of years later implemented a watered down version of his propsal. They did not want Gregg Norman to have anything to do with the implementation of improvements. He was not blue blood enough to be a member of their diets group. And he was not even an American. LIV is a great improvement to golf and will only get better.

@78tag 3 ай бұрын

You are spot on: The PGA is an elite group of boring, OLD TIME GOLF turds who refused to improve the game for the 2/3's of the tour card, non-big name - sponsor attracting ($$$$). they took way too long to make badly needed rules changes and made pay-out changes only because of the LIV tour. There are still some ridiculous rules that need to go and others better enforced. The PGA also kept the game in the "don't do anything out of the ordinary" mentality. Every once in while an interesting, out of the box (you can't play like that) player would turn up and they were forced to give in to their greed and let them play because they were such popular, money making machines. I could go on but I think most golfers get the point.

I’ve been a golfer for 45 years and find myself confused. I play with 16+ guys at least once a week. We all have mixed emotions about LIV. Aside from none of us knowing the details of the split, we find ourselves enjoying the game with more fun in mind. There seems to be a kind of laid back attitude that the game needs. For the longest time the popularity of golf was waning. No one likes change, but after the drama settles and people begin to see things differently, LIV is just a lot of fun.

L1V ( 54 ) is a new tour that he says is Saudi sports washing. The Saudi's have ventured out of Oil and started investing in all sorts of new investment areas like hotels etc. Is that hotelswashing? I'm not a Saudi lover but Monahan started this and should be replaced.

As the players keep getting more and more money, I believe less and less fans will be watching their tournaments. I will be watching the majors, the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup. That's it. I also believe that LIV and the PGA believe they are "the Game." They aren't. If they all went away, there would still be golf. The amateurs will still be playing it. The Tours seem to believe golf fans need them when in fact it's they who need the fans. They haven't figured it out yet.

It’s nice to see some big names from the past like Michelson, Poulter, Westwood, Kaymer, Ouisthousen, Johnson, Stenson, etc. Although I’ve never seen a LIV tournament and am not how I would. I also wonder how these guys would rank on the main US and European tournaments? Are they in the same league? It would be great to see and that’s why keeping the game and The opens open matters.

@alienrenders 4 ай бұрын

Are you serious? Dechambeau, DJ, Cam Smith, Rahm, Koepka, Gooch, Garcia, Lahiri, Niemann are all top players. I'm not sure there are many PGA players that could compete against these guys.

Jack's upset because the liv tour player's aren't worried about chasing his greatness anymore. He's been marginalized by Saudi money. LIV golf is a better product imo. I still watch the majors but the team format keeps me more engaged.

The amounts of money the Saudis are throwing at these touring pros is not sustainable and the Saudis will realize they are not getting the return on investment. Then what? You take the money when it is offered.

Loyalty is really for fools. How much discount does your car insurance give you for being loyal ????? If you have a talent no matter what it is, you sell it for the best return. (that isn't always necessarily money) If some people don't like that mercenary attitude that's their problem. Personally the way I see it Pro Golfers were offered huge sums of money to play a Tour organised by LIV. The PGA didn't like it and basically threatened to cut all ties with any player that played on this tour. Why would you want to remain loyal to that? Unfortunately the PGA underestimated how many big name golfer would take up that offer. And whilst people have tried to defend the PGA tour by saying LIV is a "Micky Mouse Tour" The absence of great players on tour because they have gone to LIV makes winning a PGA major a bit Micky Mouse. Even with half the competition gone Rory McIlroy still can't win a major.Who gives a sh1t what he thinks! Jack''s just pi55ed off because he's too old to join.

Jack. it's not the Saudi's fault. It's not totally Greg or Phil's fault either. it's the players that are the problem. There is a morality check going on here. This WAS a player driven association and the division is strong. Also, some it seems are more comfortable being paid employees, and the others are not.

@ianbarr5110 4 ай бұрын

Monahan associated a new golf tour with Saudi terrorist bombings. That was wrong. He then questioned the morals of golfers who joined 54(L1V). He never mentioned DJ winning twice in Saudi or Graeme MacD also winning there. Oh, what about ARAMCO sponsoring the ladies European tour! Hipocrate.

Jack is exactly correct. Pro Golf is ruined and will never be the same again. Unfortunately, it is the American obsession with money in sport that has driven most sports to becoming businesses, no longer sport.

That's what happens when the establishment gets rocked. PGA Tour took a bullheaded approach to LIV. Now they have to deal with the Fallout. Time for a World Tour where we see the best play against one another. Same for the Ryder Cup stop coming up with ridiculous rules that eliminate the best that would represent the United States or Europe

@daveg5181 5 ай бұрын

I totally agree. The PGA Tour should have simply said, go play, we will see you next week. None of this would have happened. And that is what they need to do now. Focus on YOUR tour and YOUR events. Reinstate anyone who wants to be reinstated that qualifies. Make YOUR product as good as you can make it. We are also seeing how quickly those that were the most self-righteous are walking it back. Before Rahm left, Rory was totally against any of them ever being allowed near a Ryder Cup, but now he doesn't see any reason why Rahm cannot still be on HIS Ryder Cup team. Morals only matter if it is the other guy. Pretty two-faced, if you ask me.

I need a doctor, plumber, electrician, grocery workers, etc.. not some pampered guy who can hit a ball. Sayonara pro boys …
