I don't get why they are so upset. I get why the PGA is upset. But, other golfers upset at other golfers who chose to play on another tour doesn't make any sense.

Billy Horshit should be happy less better players gives him a chance. Although it is a small chance. Andy little dipshit Rory takes money from Nike who slave labors all his clothes in china.

Edited: So it looks like Nobody has answered the question.
Why are Profesional golfers who play golf for money upset with golfers who choose to play on another tour?

Some are Madd at the players who went to LIV and sued to be in the FedEx. Okay, I will except that. But Horshit and Dipshit Rory were upset before any of this happend.

Overall watering down the competition isn’t good for anyone in the long run

Dude is quietly ranked 15 in the world, and that has ZERO to do with anyone moving to LIV. I don’t think his opinion has anything to do with these “has beens” moving to LIV

Horshoe is upset Dipshit Rory and JT based off his attitude in press conference. Camron Smith playing partner walked in his line. Golf channel made a big disrespect issue out of that one.

For you guys defended pga golfers upset at other golfer leaving for money is comical. Why should another employee. Better yet subcontractor leaving for more money is funny.

Let's look at the so called moral issue. Why should an individual golfer be held to a standard that a government or a corporation who does business with the Saudis. The sponsor who dropped Phil Michelson probably has major Saudis money because they do business with them.

I agree.

I'm curious about opinions on how the Tour and LIV can co-exist in the long run.

Makes no sense to merge.

Makes no sense to allow players to jump back and forth, that will just water down each other's fields.

The Tour will fight to its last breath. Expect LIV to do the same. Only Laywers will love that.

And putting the game of Golf into the hands of the Courts and the Government is absolutely scary.

IMO, putting Norman as CEO of LIV was a bad move. He was never well liked by his peers and has always had a axe to grind regarding the PGA Tour.

Lots of questions to be answered. What if LIV decides to bypass the rules set by the USGA or the R&A ?

To me, this is the saddest part of the whole deal.

It’s looking like this is gonna drag on and on and nobody really wins except the lawyers.

You mean like PGA Tour having a 4Ball instead of individual tournament.

You people are telling me that PGA Golfers are not playing for money.

Love, Horschel, Woods, JT, Scheffler, Rory, Zalatoris, Poston, Kisner, Michael Kim, Dahmen, maybe missing some.....also older players either retired or on Senior tour. And I bet others are upset but refuse to express their opinions to the press.

I'd say they have no interest on playing on the LIV Tour rather than being upset at those who are playing there.

I'm glad your so passionate about how other people decide to legally make money at their profession. Not sure Woods is in my category of upset at other players. He was very guarded with his comments at the open when asked. The fake news ran with Woods bashes players who went to LIV. No he did not.

I read Couples comments (I am a huge fan of Couples) Couples in his comments he says he has never liked Greg Norman. Never liked him when he was on tour.

Phil is done. I know he has issues with PGA. But Phil can play Sr. Tour and if he wins he gets let's say 700 grand. Or he can go to LIV and make 200 million signing bonus.

You idiots are insane. Why would he even think of the SR Tour.

You're embarrassing yourself. Did Cam tell you he going to the LIV Tour? Bubba announced some time ago he was going to the LIV Tour. An injury has kept him from playing to date.

And look at his game since he has taken the cash. It has turned to crap…yes he is Phil….but eventually people won’t watch bad golf and what’s the incentive to get better when you are paid upfront and already have the trophies.
LIV is NOT bettering the game as they try and say. At least DJ was honest about it
