Not only that, but I wonder what LIV's balance sheet looks like if they even have one. Comparing LIV to the PGA is as anti competitive as you can get.

Looking at the Honda Classic Tournament. Exactly one player in this tournament can still win a major. One.


You are cherry-picking data. The week after the west coast swing when players have to travel four time zones east to play is going to be a weak field. Look at last week’s tournament and tell us how many could win.

If I won a major it would be hard for me to stay on the PGA Tour. I’d automatically qualify for majors for several years, so not a big issue qualifying and get paid a ton of upfront money.

About 12. Which is basically what Brooks said. There is only a handful of players that can win a major.

Had the Honda Classic on all day today. The field is fine. Lots of names that have recognition. Especially enjoyed watching Zach Johnson play.

Coming off last week any comment about weak fields is cherry picking.

You enjoyed Zach Johnson over DJ and Cam Smith? Honesty, I doubt you did.

The two can coexist. This weeks LIV tournament is better than the Honda. The Genesis is better than any LIV tournament. It’s okay to admit it.

Lots of name recognition,sure. But that’s not I was commenting about.

LIV is for trashy people. It’s happy Gilmore/guys golf trip come to professional reality.

So explain PGA Elevated Events, and how the 400th ranked player in the World gets in and the 38th ranked doesn't, hence his departure to LIV ?

Because he’s not a member of the PGA Tour

According to Monahan the PGA and the DP World Tour beat with the same heart. So that's obviously a load of shite, and it got dumped on Thomas Pieters. Nick Watney had no business being in the Genesis field. None

He finished 111th on the FedEx Cup points list last year, making him a fully exempt player on the PGA tour.
