All 99% of consumers give a shite about are the majors and maybe a few marquee tournaments. Majority of people do not care how strong the field is for the John Deere classic. If the PGA wouldn't be throwing a hissy fit they could work with LIV and the schedule to make sure the field is as strong as possible for the marquee tournaments and majors.

I don't get why PGA has such an issue with players playing in LIV but not other tours.
Because other Tours aren't trying to replace the PGA Tour nor are they trying to steal all their players.

Bobby Jones never took a dollar to play golf, but you have to be rich as frick to be a member at Augusta.
How is that in Jones' image?

Right, if only the PGA Tour paid all their players money they don't have we wouldn't be in this situation.

Is their goal to replace the PGA? They can coexist just fine. They are not even the same format.

The hissy fit you are describing is the PGA Tour trying to stay alive. The LIV tour wants to destroy the PGA Tour and just might do it.

They are not run by the PGA Tour

It's the obvious move the PGA has to make here, can't blame them.
My question is, maybe I missed, suspended for how long?
If DJ pockets his $125mil plays his 8 events then says he's done with Liv and wants to return to the PGA Tour, then what? When is the suspension over?
Also, what about those that resigned? So what happens when they want to return? They didn't technically break any rules.

Where are you getting that they are trying to destroy the PGA? Tbe PGA is going to kill themselves by not allowing their players freedom to maximize their earnings. Let them play in both and its a win win for everyone.

Then, by all means, tell me what Jay Monahan could have done to combat the Saudi's offering players hundreds of millions of dollars to show up? Blaming Jay Monahan while those financing the Saudi Tour are executing people is fricking precious.
Listen to every player talk at the press conferences. None of them could say how this league is better for the game of golf, only for their wallets. All of them essentially said the same thing "We want to play a lot less golf and make a shitload of money not having to play much golf." They all dodged human rights questions. They all dodged questions regarding doing it solely for the money. They all looked like children who got caught doing something they know is wrong. It was pathetic.

I guess they can go through Q school. Wouldn't that be fun in their 50s

My guess is indefinitely. PGA has always been hush hush about suspensions, so even this is pretty out of the ordinary. When DJ was suspended for drugs it was presented as a “leave of absence” thing. I think they would make him sit some time out for sure in that scenario

He wouldn't have had to 2 years ago, but the Tour was arrogant and acted like this thing wasn't real up until like 90 days ago. They could've sqaushed this thing before it ever started, but believed no one would ever leave their sacred tour

So like I mentioned with the DJ example, after 8 events, he's done with Liv and wants to completely not play Liv any more and go back to the PGA...now what?

The Masters committee has jurisdiction over who plays in The Masters.
USGA controls the US Open and said players that qualify will be permitted to play regardless of tour status.
The Open don't give a frick about the PGA Tour.
The only one that may be in jeopardy is the PGA Championship. I assume they would be barred from that, hence why Phil didn't defend his title.
