“It’s not public knowledge, all that goes on,’’ Mickelson said. “But the players don’t have access to their own media. If the Tour wanted to end any threat, they could just hand back the media rights to the players. But they would rather throw $25 million here and $40 million there than give back the roughly $20 billion in digital assets they control. Or give up access to the $50-plus million they make every year on their own media channel.

Yes, that’s the hilarious quote we are currently making fun of. And it was mocked by anyone that has even a pea sized brain that understands digital assets

I dont know about 20 billion but I think they could possibly find a way to break a billion with a little effort.

Yeah, he probably underestimated it by several billion.

He needs to keep his mouth shut bc he’s telling the PGA Tour that they’d be better off spending their time placing future sanctions on tour players to keep them from leaving for LIV?

He knows more players are coming to LIV in 2024 and that most LIV players don’t want to go back to the PGA.


In other news, I see Brooksy’s new baby just arrived 6 weeks early. Do you think the Saudi overlords require his presence in West Virginia tomorrow?

You can “not believe” it, if you want. Doesn’t mean it’s not gonna happen.

It is a fact that there will be about 8-12 spots available on LIV in 2024.

4 of those will be earned through their qualification process. Where do you think the rest will come from?

Maybe you’d believe Jon Rahm?

LIV may well continue and some players may jump ship next year.

There are so many good young players coming out, the competition on the Tours will remain.

Phil jumped to LIV because he needed the cash.

Multi millionaire golfers crying about their media rights is falling on deaf ears to the public.

Phil has made commercials for other products outside the tour, so what's the big deal when he is on the downside of his career ?

I respect DJ more because he just takes care of his business and doesn't air his laundry in public.

It's too late now. They're not putting the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. But at least this will make the players feel better.


This move gave the players a majority in the board that decides pretty much everything about the Tours negotiation with PIF/LIV. It’s not nothing.

Heard that Bryson hinted that there may be 2 whole new teams joining LIV in 2024 so that number could jump to 16-20 guys
