Out of all the arguments against LIV, this one cracks me up the most.
They ALL play for money. It’s literally their job.

Bryson’s take on it - regardless of what they’ve done for previous Ryder Cups or PGA Championships, he said it’s nice to have some reassurance moving forward

Q. Bryson, I want to get your reaction to the PGA of America clearing y'all to play in both the PGA and the Ryder Cup from here on out.
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I think it's - one, I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for the PGA of America and what they've done for junior golf and other things alike. I've come close to winning their tournament numerous times, and to see that they came out and made that statement is great reassurance that us players will eventually have a pathway, whether it be exemptions or whatnot -- hopefully have a pathway to play in the Ryder Cup and other tournaments as such.
I think it's just the start. I think it's the beginning to opening up the ecosystem back to a place where players can play across numerous tours and support different charities alike and tournaments alike in different countries and regions. I think it's a great first step.

Yes, still a shame IMO. You go chase the money, it should come with consequences.
So you think the guys that were offered life changing money to play for a different tour should be punished? Have you never changed jobs for a better paycheck in your whole life? And don't even start with the "its funded by the evil saudis" crap, they sponsored just as much PGA golf as anyone did prior to LIV, no one even batted an eye when it was PGA sponsorship. People that actually take personal offence to LIV golfers are shockingly obtuse.

And yes, people change jobs all the time, but you’re not going to be working with your direct competitor and your previous company at the same time.
