He turned the battle with LIV into one of legacy, and then morality. Neither argument kept his players from defecting. Then, despite admitting the Tour could never compete dollar for dollar with the PIF, he tried to do exactly that. LIV was always going to win a war of attrition—anybody could see that.
Who wrote that?
Because...I could be wrong but it seemed that Jays arguments of legacy and morality aligned with many tour players and they didn't defect.
No company is going to win a war of attrition with a country.... But from the comments of many remaining tour players.. They were financially comfortable staying Tour bound

Ehhh.
One player won the one major nobody gives a shite about.
I still think this was a money grab by the PGA.
There was no threat from LIV. A vast majority of the golfers are irrelevant, and of the 3 that were it wasn’t like they were going to win multiple majors moving forward

Several people have. It was one of the first things to come out of the player meeting yesterday.

No chance that both sides didn’t want to be in court?
I don't think either side wanted to go through the discovery of this case. Both would come out looking bad publicly. The PIF could also bleed the PGA Tour dry in the litigation with much deeper pockets and it would have lasted years. Settling the litigation side of things was probably in both parties' best interests long-term.

As of today, that will be lifted very soon.

How to bring those guys back into the fold in a way that is kosher with the current PGA and DP players is going to be the biggest story in the next 12 months.
Based on yesterday, you really think they give a shite about the players’ feelings?

Of course I don’t. However, why would PIF invest into a company that is banning their employees?
This is how most mergers work. They combine work forces.

Not really. They typically fire a bunch of redundant people in redundant positions.

In the end the top 70 golfers will make a shite ton of money going forward. A shite ton!

Just saw a tweet that said Rory thinks the players who left should be fined, and at the same time he basically thinks those that turned down the money should be made whole.
Please tell me that isn't true.

So punish those that took money and then take money yourself?
I guess I'm cool with that as long as he is suspended and fined.

Rory can think that all he wants. Why would the LIV guys be fined?

Figure out a fine to the players that left that would only offset against what their likely earnings would have been on the Tour, and use that money to then spread the “bonus” to all players, based on a tiered system
Only if the players want to come back. If they don’t, they can keep all their money if PIF allows
That’s just one example. I’m sure the LIV players that want back will fight for no fines at all.
Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

You can argue they shouldn’t be fined, that’s ok, but acting like you can’t find a reason why they would be seems a little obtuse

Then they should be fined for taking LIV money and give to the lower guys.
Or maybe they should suck it up and realize they made the wrong choice.
He is just proving all he wants is the money (fines).
