FFS can this just die already. I can see Bryson and Phil hanging on for dear life because they kind of went all in but not sure why DJ and Cam Smith are hanging on for dear life, they just went for the cash.

Phil got bailed out of gambling debt and we had one electric AK round... Quite a legacy for $5B.

And DJ and Cam smith got to soft retire and get paid hundreds of millions to go fishing every day instead of being good at golf. And we got a bunch of Bryson break 50 videos. Good investment by the Saudis.

Also I really hope we get some stories about Bryson trying to do some high stakes negotiations with BC partners over the terms of LIV 2.0 which ended up backfiring spectacularly. Because reading between the lines it seems like that’s what happened.

It would be like the episode in the Office where Michael Scott negotiates with Dunder Mifflin for the buy-out of Michael Scott Paper Company, but in this scenario, there was no Jim Halpert to save the day.

Bryson is legit dumb

His clubs, his explanation on why he thinks downhill putts are easier, this shite, etc

He is the Lebron of golf. He says shite and for some reason people have told him he is smart

A LIV Golf attorney told a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge that the league couldn't get the necessary financial commitment and player support to proceed with LIV 2.0 and that the company will wind down operations.

Until a couple of middle eastern men meet him one day with bone saws. I wouldn't want to be associated in any way with a $5B loss for which the Saudis are responsible.

Oh and to all the people who for years said the Saudis could handle the losses cause they had FU money, LOL. Not even the PIF can lose money indefinitely.

He really had nowhere to go, as he had very little interest in Champions. His was the easiest decision of anyone.

Could have stayed where he was, lived his life as a golf icon loved by the establishment and all, making 25-50 million a year in endorsements, etc

But sure, he had a gun to his head

He only had no options if he had wracked up tens of millions in gambling debt.

Which is certainly possible.

Nah, check his age, then look at history.

Phil was coming off a PGA championship win and was universally loved. He would have been a lock for a future Ryder cup captain and would be hitting the opening tee shots at Augusta while racking up on the champions tour.


He threw all of that away. I don’t think anyone has more egg on their face in this whole debacle than Phil. Just totally vaporized his legacy.


In the end, this entire saga will make a great 30 for 30. Glad it’s over now though.

Probably because they are still owed so much money, the only way to get any of what is owed is to hang on. If they left, they would never see any of it.

I'll stand with my sentiment all along and the reason LIV never crawled in my arse and out my mouth on the weekly.

I said in the end, LIV would improve the PGA product similarly to how the USFL improved the NFL and it did just that with higher purses, accountability and player equity.

You didn't have to like LIV to realize the end result would be a net positive.

He never planned to play much on Champions. His tour success was over.
