re: That's a whole lot of blood money, Rory

That is why Keith Pelly is the biggest idiot involved in all of this for what he did with the Euro/DP World Tour and the Strategic Parnership. I think Jay is two faced and what he did using the 9/11 families was despicable, but the PGA had an existential crisis on its hands so it was somewhat understandable.

The DP World Tour's "Strategic Partnership" with the PGA was one of the worst business deals ever. They took some money from the PGA, and in return their top players get PGA cards and will make the jump across the pond. What did the DP World Tour get in return? Guys who are in the 150's in the PGA rankings get some spots in Euro events. Creating an easy way for Europe's top players to jump ship to the PGA and the Euro's get Charlie Hoffman and Jason Duffner in return.

The DP World Tour would have been in much better shape getting bought out by LIV, giving LIV's players access to OWGR points, and in return having players like Brooks, Cam Smith, Phil, Neiman, etc. playing in Europe a couple times a year.
