whatever you say, chief. I’ve made my position crystal clear. Your inability to understand it is not a me problem.

The PGA can't help but frick themselves over, even on non-LIV fronts. They continuously screwed over the longest running Tour sponsor and their event (the Honda Classic) with date changes and other issues. They had one of the most compelling tracks for a non-major in PGA National with the Bear Trap. Honda got so frustrated they pulled their sponsorship.

When money is an issue and you are feeling heat from an outside entity with deeeeeeeep pockets; alienating longtime sponsors may not be the way to go.

BTW, this is on top of Jay killing off one of the most historic and popular venues on the Florida Swing of the Tour - Doral - because of his virtue signalling.

I'd agree you've made it clear. I know for me, I just don't necessarily understand why.

I probably watch as much, if not more golf than anyone on the board. Men's, women's, college, doesn't matter. The best events are the ones where the best people play together. I like other events, but I'd rather watch the Arnold Palmer Invitational with Rory, Spieth, JT, etc. and tune in for a little bit of the Puerto Rico Open that same week than have a couple of those guys go play in Puerto Rico to make that event better. Maybe that's what you want, and if so, that's fine, just a little weird to me. Is that your reasoning?

Yeah, you said this to someone earlier in the thread in regards to Rahm announcing.

I love you get so worked up about this.


You don't give a shite about LIV, you just like that it pisses people off because you think anyone that goes against the establishment is "a patriot".

Like I said, you're not hard to figure out. But thanks for leaving no doubt in this thread.

Yes. It doesn’t matter to me if I’m watching Rahm or Suh. I just enjoy watching tournaments.

I actually think I enjoy it more when someone is trying to win their first tourney and seeing how they handle the fact that’s so life changing than watching someone win their 9th tournament.

Your inability to keep up doesn’t seem to be limited to you.

THAT is your response to what I said.

Lol... you are so much slower on the uptake than you think.

This is fun.

In my view, I believe so. I enjoyed watching non-major PGA TOUR tournaments when the fields included most if not all of the top players. Now, maybe half of those top players aren't playing those tournaments and play LIV instead...




this is what blows. in 2019 the PGA was in such a good place with up-and-coming talent to go along with the vets that every weekend was a fairly watchable product. The tour without guys like Gooch and the internationals thinned the field out.

I don't really give a damn about the Saudis and the morality for taking the money. If Armco called me for some product, I would gladly do business with them so who am i to judge someone taking the bag.

Yikes. no.

SMD is just mad that I owned him in an LSU baseball thread once and has been stalking me ever since. And then he got banned for saying some vile shite, hence this alter.

If you want him to be your ally, by all means, go for it.

I asked a question. You’re getting pretty worked up. The internet is serious business.

It’s funny you get worked up over someone assigning things to you that you never said. Somewhat hypocritical…

Yes, and Portnoy retweeted it and responded so it’s “popping off” as the young kids would say

You are straight up melting down about this and have since LIV came about. Geez man, get a hobby. What are you even arguing at this point except just to argue?
