Yea I know.

The point is they wanted him earlier this year. They will likely still want him now, though the path may be more stringent.

This was being reported for Rahm a couple weeks back, although it was being downplayed as he is still “under contract” with LIV. I don’t see why he wouldn’t just go the DP Tour route unless he really prefers to play in the US next year

He would argue that people are watching golf, not just for one player… which is true, but wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper to have a tour full of weekend duffers? Wonder why PGA hasn’t really considered that?

It’s the logical conclusion of thinking guys like Bryson don’t boost ratings

Tell me how that works? What salary do you think the tour is paying? How does worse golfers make it cheaper?

Also, this isn’t really arguable anymore. Go look at the tour ratings the last two years they had Bryson then compare to these last two years without Bryson

Check and see what the “worth” is

$25 million fine for Rahm is Treaty of Versailles territory.

They don’t have to pay salaries for golfers to go where there’s more money obviously

Because your purses have to keep the top talent in the sport on your tour. That’s expensive, but you make it back in tv ratings and brand equity. If you had weekend duffers, you could pay them less in purses, but the tv ratings would go to where the top talent is playing.

Same way as saying good football is expensive, but bad football is even more expensive.

The only thing that matters for thr pga tour is the collective whole being the best tour in the world . The individual player (outside of once in a lifetime Tiger woods type people) hold no value

Rahm and Bryson should have made that painfully clear but I guess not

They may let Rahm back on tour if he comes groveling hard enough


He was the big get toward the end for LIV and was a blow to the PGA. None of these guys get let back in without paying hundreds of millions. The PGA gave these guys an amnesty period and all these guys passed on it. It was their one get out of jail free card. Most of these guys will be playing the Asian tour for several years if they want to play professional golf. They’re totally screwed now.

Courtesy of the two biggest frauds in golf… Phil and Greg Norman. We most likely will never see Phil in another professional tournament. He’ll be hustling retirees in Florida in six months.
