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.


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.

It’s not PGA & Euro Tour’s problem.

It was the PGA Tour getting rid of WGC’s that opened the opportunity for LIV.

PGA used to play tournaments in Spain, Ireland, England, Australia, South Africa, China, etc with WGC’s.

Now they only play in Mexico & Canada. (Not counting The Open or Ryder/President’s cups)

That’s essentially the path we are on right now with PGA/LIV. I don’t think that is an ideal solution.
