I mean, sure, the organization could be leaner and better ran, but players are kidding themselves if they think there are hundreds of millions of dollars in EBITDA there for the taking.


Im not aware of anyone that thinks that. Phil is the only one that has even mentioned it and I don't think he actually believes it.

What everyone needs to realize is this shite started almost 3 years ago before the Saudis were handing out all this money. A lot of what players asked for was pretty reasonable and Monohan has shown nothing but incompetence since the fiasco on CNBC when there was a run on stocks and he's up there sunshining the Tour's a-hole.

None of these guys would be working with the Saudis all else being equal. You think they want to deal with all this bullshite? And I don't think the money would have ever been thrown around like this had players not been ripe for the picking due to the Tour doing a terrible job.

The only golf I watch is the majors so it really doesn't matter to me. Who wouldn't take the money though?

For $150,000,000 there is not many things I wouldn’t do.

Can’t fault the guy or any of them one bit.

You picking your favorites based on politics

People who do that are, without a doubt, the worst.

What would you say to someone who said their favorite athlete of all time was Colin Kaepernick?

Do people actually watch golf on TV other than the majors


Sure we do. What do you think this is, an ar-kansas track and field meet?

"According to multiple reports during the second round of the LIV Golf Invitational London event at Centurion Club today, Rickie Fowler, Matt Wolff, Pat Perez, Bubba Watson and Jason Kokrak are on the cusp of adding their names to the growing list."

Rickie Fowler and Matt Wolff bolt for LIV and Jason Kokrak is expected to bolt next

The picture they had up, on CBS Sports, he looks like a madman.

If the goal really is to harvest at least half of the top 100 PGA golfers the LIV are well on their way. With these latest defections, they are closing in at about the halfway point of 25. And they haven't played their second official tournament.

Jay's slash and burn strategy doesn't seem to be scaring anyone.

Agree 100%. The NBA is in bed with China and there is very little negative press. I will watch both tours as I love golf even though I suck at it. Not mad at either side. We all have choices to make in life.
