saying it doesn't compare is just wrong. I am not a huge fan of LIV but if it didn't compare, they wouldn't be poaching all of the biggest tour players. Also if it didn't compare, the PGA wouldn't be busting their asses to merge. Like it or not it is growing big time


Did USFL compare well to the NFL when they got Herschel and Jim Kelly to sign back in the day or did they simply over pay to try and seem relevant? If you think the PGA is busting their asses to merge so bad why did they just sign the deal with a venture capital firm? Looked like to me it was to keep from having the merge.

According to the no laying up guys it was to get around antitrust issues with DOJ. the VC firm may sell equity to PIF now.

I’m not sure that is the best comparison.
