Bryson valuation

What makes Bryson think he is worth anywhere near the supposed $500 mil he is asking for?

he hits it far, posts videos on youtube, and used to wear a funny hat.

It's called leverage. He was the MVP of a struggling golf league who was going to have to do anything to keep him.

When PIF was involved “worth” didn’t exist. They were willing to light money on fire
Now, he ain’t worth shite

He tried to convince the Saudis that MC at the Masters meant "More Cash", and it collapsed the whole fricking league.

I hope one of the many takeaways from this saga is the suspension of the silly notion that the Saudis "don't care about money". I've seen that drivel posted here and on the MSB so often and it's just foolish. Anyone who is successful in business wants an ROI. The Saudis are no different. And while they (may) have deeper pockets than most, they want something in return for their money. No one with vast wealth got it by not giving a shite.

I think the distinction is Yasir didn’t care about making money. And they gave Yasir an incredibly long leash to do what he wanted before they really checked on him. And when they finally did that they turned out it was unpalatable

The struggling PGA tour will reinstate and accommodate he and Rahm in a way that’ll make a few holdovers pissy. They bring what 75% of the current tour players don’t. Recognition and drawing power rule today more than ever. The rest of LIV players will be made examples of . Watch and see

Their ROI wasn't going to be in the form of cash, it was in the form of sports washing, but with a league that no one watches that wasn't going to come.

yeah, I get that. But I think my point still stands. Whether they wanted actual currency or just a warm and fuzzy feeling, they weren't going to fund LIV forever as some on TR kept claiming. Especially if they didn't get either one.

Outside of Scotty he’s arguably the most recognized American golfer, especially with the young crowd.

Does anyone actually understand what “sportswashing” means? It gets mentioned a lot, but rarely explained clearly. Comparing it to money laundering doesn’t quite add up either—if the goal is to hide something, shouldn’t it go unnoticed? In that sense, they don’t seem to be doing a very good job.

It's when governments use sports as a means of improving their image/reputation worldwide to divert the attention from the bad things their government is involved with or doing. It's a form of propaganda

Yeah but they don’t tune in to watch Bryson on LIV even though they’re fans of his.
That’s the tricky thing about his value to a tour. He’s cultivated a fan base that is perfectly happy watching him on social media and YouTube, and maybe the majors if they even watch that.
It makes Bryson very valuable to brands that can advertise on YouTube and social media, but he hasn’t really moved the needle for tournament broadcasts.

I think the end goal was to pester the PGA for long enough that some sort of merger would happen. Basically openning doors to them in rich guy circles at every tour stop.

If everyone is already saying “sportswashing, sportswashing,” is it actually achieving anything?
My view is that if someone is unaware of Saudi Arabia’s alleged atrocities, then any attempt at “sportswashing” is unlikely to influence them at all. On the other hand, if someone is already aware of what the term refers to, then Saudi efforts to improve their image through sport probably won’t change their opinion either.
It therefore seems like a largely ineffective exercise.
Also, if you have close to a trillion dollars In your wealth fund, who gives a shite what anyone else thinks about you? I thought that was the whole point of frick you money.

Bryson if anything proved why the Tour shouldn’t let players do YouTube 
It completely devalues your product

I didn't say it was necessarily effective but that doesn't change what its intended purpose is. The Saudis also aren't the first country to do it. I'd say the Berlin Olympics in 1936 would be a great example of sportswashing
