Does Brandel not understand that the #1 sponsor of the LPGA is ARAMCO
What is your point with this?

Well, everyone was told how evil it is for LIV players to take Saudi "blood money". Since ARAMCO is owned by the government of Saudi Arabia I would assume that righteous indignation would be aimed at the ladies, right?

I didn’t know if it had something to do with the PGA Tour. I wasn’t watching.

I think Rich Lerner is as insufferable as Brandel.

It's a big deal for the PGA Tour and their allies that a LIV Tour guy won, otherwise the Golf Channel wouldn't be losing their shite as hard as they are. The fact that it's Koepka makes it all the better.

Fwiw, CME Group is the biggest sponsor of the LPGA Tour.
And yeah, people can take up their issues with it if they want. Brandel obviously stinks. I just didn’t know if the point about the LPGA related to the PGA Tour at all.
Or if it was just a whataboutism

Anybody see where the director of the tournament at Colonial next week called Michael Block and invited him to fill the last spot?
They trying to put him on Tour before LIV calls.

Colonial would be one of the few courses on tour he could compete on. His 160 ball speed doesn’t fit the bomber’s paradises on tour

So does Block get the full money for 15th
A three way tie for 15th means they add 15th, 16th, and 17th place money together and divide by 3. Those 3 places added together total $865,000 so divided by 3 means Block takes home $288,333 for his 15th place finish. Not bad for a week's work

PGA and ESPN loving this Block story so they don’t have to talk about Bruce and LIV too long.

Ole Baw will be lucky to get half of that after Fed taxes, NY taxes and he lives in CA so they will get a bite too.

Probably throws him into a whole different tax bracket.

Which is proof that Brooks Koepka winning is big deal!! I say again, you cant claim to be the best pro golf league in the world if the best golf players in the world don't play on your tour. The more LIV guys win...the more the LIV brand is going to grow. Period.

LIV has 3 of the top 20 players in the world probably. Are you arguing it’s a better golf league?

I'm arguing that with all the major winners and all the talent that LIV players possess, not having world-ranking points awarded to them at this point is criminally wrong. It's creating false narratives about how many LIV golfers should be in these 4 majors and thier rightful position in pro golf.
Did you happen to see PGA CEO/OWGR Collusionist Seth Waugh posing for a picture with Koepka? He looks like he’s at a funeral and as soon as the picture is taken hauls it out of there, refusing to shake hands with the PGA champ. Koekpa is like what the hell was that, dude?
Getting world ranking points is everything for LIV players and Jay Monahan and his henchmen are doing what they can to put it off.

I think a lot of people are way too shortsighted with their views of LIV. Wait to LIV starts picking off a lot of the top college talent with promises of money where the tour wants to send these guys to Q school. Have you seen what's happened to college sports since money got introduced? Its proven money is king and the top talent will follow the guaranteed money. The PGA is way ahead now but in the long run LIV could become a big force if the Saudis continue to let the money flow.
If they continue to get to play in majors and eventually find a way to work though the tour trying to withhold world ranking points there is nothing stopping LIV from becoming a full fleged tour.

LIV has been on that since its inception. They signed the World No.2 amateur, Eugenio Chacarra.
James Piot, who reportedly took $1 million to sign up, Alex Fitzpatrick, who turned down over $2 million and Arizona State senior, David Puig, who competed in the LIV opener at Centurion, but as an amateur.
LIV attempted to sign the top 6 amateurs in the world. Given their number of players they want to sign and play overall (about 50) they have been busy trying to grow that part of the game and for their league.
