It's not the players coming up with them. They are coached up on what to say. Just like the announcers are probably told to explain to the audience how incredible something they are doing is every 10 minutes.

I think LIV and Russell Wilson use the same publicity company.

Like Pat Perez shirt? In the intro presser, many of these LIV golfers said they were concerned about economic security for their families and being with their families more. Is that code for more money? They also talked about "fun." Which I'm pretty sure under current judicial law, is still allowable.

The only reason Justin Thomas is still screaming his head off publicity about the money is to continue to draw attention to the source. Or, maybe after seeing these huge LIV checks getting cashed for 3 rounds of work, maybe it's just frustration and a bad case of missing the boat.

More or less than the tour announcers flipping out about it? Or the golf channel?

The Saudis are booking about a quarter billion a day in hydrocarbon sales, does it matter is the question.

Next up is Trump bedminster in Jersey.

Wonder if the Donald will show up.

PGA tour took events away from Trump courses.

Yes, Brandel is being annoying. But that doesn’t impact me while I’m actually watching golf.

And I get that Arlo, Foltz, etc. are promoting their product, but the slurpfest is just obnoxious. They need to tone that down at least a little bit.

You think Saudi Arabias Pulblic Wealth Fund that holds over $600 billion in assets is going to fold?

Dude it’s fricking Pat Perez. He doesn’t give a single frick.

Acting like his reaction to this thing is what we’re seeing from everyone else is ludicrous.

I am ALMOST 100% certain Justin Thomas is much more concerned with his legacy in the game

It’s their job the play golf, they play it for a living.

Nothing wrong with leaving for money.

You really have to be a bonified idiot to NOT simply understand that professional athletes play for the money. Do you actually watch pro sports?

Not at all, it would be nice if most of them stopped treating fans like idiots and just said that was why. The nonsense about “changing the game for the better” and everything else can stop

Bedminster was to host this year's PGA championship until Jan 6. That's when the PGA went full retard and cancelled the PGA at Bedminster and ALL tourneys from ever playing on Trump courses.

It's has to piss off the PGA Trump will host 2/8 LIV events including thast tourney of the year at Doral.

The guy is probably worth over $50 mil

I didn’t say he hates money

I think he’s more concerned with his legacy in the game of golf than taking money from LIV

Is he even top 40 all time right now? He's obviously an awesome player, but he has 2 majors, he has a long way to go to be an all time great.

Idk where he is

I think he’s more focused on climbing that ladder than taking money from LIV
