I will admit that I am old enough to remember back in the day when the USFL was able to sign some top draft picks away from the NFL with the promises of more money and exciting changes to the game of football.

They should of asked Tiger what are his thoughts on Jack taking Saudi money to build them a golf course this year?

I hate these pious pricks bashing Saudi money while raking in millions from Nike who utilizes Chinese slave/child labor camps.

This is a very stupid take. You really think 20 and 30 year olds don't care about Tiger?

It makes me laugh at the outrage while seeing Saudi sponsors and other entities well represented in many other major international sports/events.

Tiger is the reason that these golfers can make money.

I like Tiger and have no issues with him. Do I give a shite about what he thinks about LIV?

Not one bit, bubba

Its easy when youre a billionaire with a large portion of it coming from Chinese slave labor. Biggest tiger fan here, but this is a shitty hypocritical take.

Sure, but don't let that distract you from the point that everyone on here accuses whatever side they are arguing against of being a mouth piece while they praise everything the other side says. Its exhausting as frick.


Nice summary of your posts on the topic

For a tour that's hated so much by Golf Channel, the Tour and the two bodies, they all are making sure it gets max coverage. Even Live At The Open is unwatchable now.

Lot of weird arse takes in here. Tiger is the greatest. Ask any player (under 50) on the tour and they will tell you.


Here is tiger’s take:
“What these players are doing for guaranteed money, what is the incentive to practice?” Woods asked at the Old Course. “What is the incentive to go out there and earn it in the dirt? You’re just getting paid a lot of money up front and playing a few events and playing 54 holes.”

The LIV players don’t give a shite ago it golf. They want the money. Period.

Sorry Tiger but we’ve all seen the video of those guys riding in that plane. LIV is the place to be. It’s obviously a better situation. If they give you the call, go unless you’re billionaire Tiger woods.


Because.. Elite players don't have private jets?

Very few people in this world work without caring about the money. They may say otherwise but that’s the truth. It’s always about the money and it’s never enough. Once you make a million you are focused on making ten… and so on.

LIV won’t make it. It’s not sustainable no matter what people here want to tell you. Golf is already a niche sport. You can’t make spin-offs work in the most popular sports like football, it will never work in golf. They may be able to get 25% of golf fans interested, at best, and that’s not enough to fund the types of payouts they are talking about.

The reality is that over time the attractiveness of LIV will die down as they can’t offer the big guaranteed contracts anymore. I don’t give a frick about Saudi oil funds. The Saudis aren’t in the business of losing money and that’s what this tour will do. They wanted to make some noise by flashing their cash and they did, but that’s all they are going to accomplish.

Did tiger bash where the money came from or the competitive aspect? Sounds more like the lack of competition aspect. Even Rory doesn’t give a shite about the Saudi money.

Sounds like some of you need to read the full script. Tiger is insanely competitive are you surprised by his comments?
