You want to ruin professional golf


How exactly is a partially merged tour "ruining professional golf"? Do we not want to see all the best golfers together more often?

It's partially the PGA's fault that this is happening. If they hadn't pissed off all the euros and aussies by ignoring the worldwide market and forcing players play in the armpits of America, LIV wouldn't even exist.

Then the PGA doubled down by signing the cash influx deal from the private equity group that is a bandaid at best. Monahan and Co. just keep stepping on their own feet. The merge is inevitable.

I don't understand those that cheer for the destruction of the PGA Tour and the takeover of golf by the Saudis. You say Jay handled this horribly, probably true, but everything was fine until the Saudis created this beast and unleashed billions of dollars to take over golf. The PGAT put up a fight for their existence, and you blame them for it.

We need to go back to the good ol’ days. Americans play the PGA, Euros and internationals play the European Tour. All the big boys come together a few times each year for the majors, a couple of big events (Players, Irish Open because it’s always before the British Open), and the President’s and Ryder Cup.

All of the European stars moved to America, the PGA Tour squashed the European Tour and made it irrelevant, yet so many act like all of the European guys are supposed to be loyal to the PGA and turn away huge money from LIV?

If the DP World Tour was smart they would have partnered with LIV instead of riding the PGA’s jock after the PGA already made them the minor leagues.
