I think the big lesson after all of this is that the value is in the overall product and not the individual player unless you are Tiger Woods.

Seems like Jay handled it almost perfectly.




Legit lol'd. What a ridiculous take. Outside of Bud Selig, Jay Monahan is arguably the worst league commissioner in the history of sports. There's a reason he was only able to keep his job half as long as the previous two commissioners. Aside from him absolutely not handling the situation perfectly, he was having to handle a disaster that he helped create. And along the way throwing players under the bus.

Jay started out the LIV debacle saying these guys should "think about the families of 9/11 victims" and ended it smiling on the golf channel side by side with Yasir Al-Rumayyan

An entity with unlimited money wanted to own golf. If Jay listened to you from the beginning they would have succeeded.

I’m glad he didn’t

Few highlights.

- he didn’t give details of investor
- he said there is a deadline that need players to commit but didn’t say when that is.
- he continued to sound optimistic that this could get done while understanding they were under a time crunch
- he wouldn’t comment on individual players including Rahm and Bryson. Did say he has a lot of conversations with Bryson.

Rory

It just comes so naturally to him

Amazing to get 2 such different answers between him & Scottie

A couple months ago Rory was also saying Koepka & P Reed will make the tour “stronger”.

I guess there is a difference in being “valuable” or “adding strength”. Or maybe Rory just likes to flip flop too

Stronger and value are completely different

Liv was the ultimate litmus test that golfers really don’t have value as individuals

Bryson is supposedly the most super duper popular person like ever based on YouTube views and likes. Yet, nobody cares to watch him play on his current tour

Supposedly he, Bryson, got all pissy at practice today and had a reporter removed. Probably wasn't striking the ball well since thats when he starts acting like an a-hole.

Rory had a hot opinion but Scottie was more accurate.

Jon Rahm, Bryson and the top LIV guys will absolutely add value to the Tour. Who are we kidding?
