Gotta give Jay *some* credit for only losing 2 players qualified for the signature events, out of 14 potential openings


Giving Monahan credit for only losing 2 players is asinine. He's already lost a large number of top golfers, there's only about 3-4 left that he hasn't already lost. The fact that he still has a job right now is bizarre.

A guy like Hatton just got paid 60 million. That’s wild for a sport that just doesn’t bring in profit close to support that

To me, it’s kinda wild so many great players, the majority of the top players, didn’t leave

Well, I obviously wasn’t talking about all of the players from the start. Since they’ve implemented the no-cut limited field signature events, they’ve done a pretty good job of keeping their top guys in place. A lot of guys actually had “talks” with LIV and decided to stay.

Xander, Finau, Hovland, Fleetwood, Wyndham Clark, Cantlay, Jason Day, probably more..

Add in the fact that PGA is about to get a major investment from Strategic Sports Group ahead of their negotiations with PIF. Jay might actually keep his job after all

I'm a hardcore golf watcher so I'm not exactly the target audience for the PGA. But the Farmer's field was noticeably thin AF and I'm starting to lose interest week to week. The majors are going to end up being the last game in town for stacked tournaments talent wise. It's sad and hard to watch these guys all bail but I don't blame them.

Blaming Monahan for this isn't entirely fair because LIV can just throw astronomical numbers at players who would never be worth that much in a league that didn't have unlimited funds.

On top of that, cmon. You can't say there's only 3-4 players that are still on the Tour. You know that's ridiculous.
