I don’t even know what to say. This boring motherfricker is about as bright as 30 year old headlight and is banging The Great One’s daughter and gets 125 mil to just show up to beat a $5 ball into the earth.

& at #13 DJ is by far the best player in the field.
I believe the next best are Kevin Na(33) & Talor Gooch(35).

DJ could take home the $4M prize in a few of these LIV events.

Good for him. I don't see the same outrage about the NBA taking Chinese millions or soccer teams being owned by middle eastern ruling families. If it's a free for all, might as well get yours.

Some of those sponsors have no qualms manufacturing their products in China but playing golf in a Saudi league is a step too far. It’s a joke.

To be fair, he is skipping that sponsors (RBC) PGA tournament to go play in London.

I'm assuming their sponsorship was less than $125 million...

To be fair, he went from playing in tournaments on national TV to playing up to 8 tournaments on YouTube. The brand visibility is going to take a hit.

100% correct.

It's amazing how all these woke entities have this blind spot for China.

China is the most oppressive violator of human rights in the world.

They run actual concentration camps and forced slave labor. Today, in 2022.

Far from being critical, many of the world's largest corporations bend over backwards to not criticize the Chinese Communist Party. Hell, many are partners with them!

Whoah! They truly have money to burn if DJ is going for that rate. How much does he really bring to the party?

And absolutely can’t fault him for taking it.
