PGA is also considered a non-profit.

This is what got Phil pissed in the very beginning.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Could be both

They have a board of directors that they call the policy board that can. Made up of various golf people and business people

This is fair. But I feel that him being top 2 in terms of endorsements for a long period of time he should be ‘even’

as expected

Saudi golf rebels banned from Scottish Open as plight of Europe's Ryder Cup team remains unresolved

So LIV players not in Munich have one event between the us open and the open; a 54 hole event in Portland.

Given the Scottish Open is a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour with 72 players from each respective tour expected to tee it up, there is no available room for anyone else.

The DP World Tour is expected to make this announcement official on Friday.

Makes sense. This is essentially the PGA Tour telling the DP World Tour what to do. I didn't realize it was a co-sanctioned event or I wouldn't have made that statement.

DP World Tour doesn't seem to have an issue specifically with LIV golfers since 7 are playing in their event this weekend
quote:

the DP World Tour has been decidedly slower to voice any opinion on the matter. In fact, LIV golfers Louis Oosthuizen, Pablo Larrazabal, Laurie Canter, Adrian Otaegui, Wade Ormsby, Oliver Bekker and Kaymer are all in the field for the BMW International Open this week on the DP World Tour.

The strategic alliance between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour was first made public in August 2021. Nearly a year later, it appears to at least be fractured.

think lsupride went out of his way to find an article with that title. There are plenty of other articles available that are not hidden behind a paywall.

I keep seeing this here and I keep hearing it from the LIV

But I keep thinking about that fund raiser chocolate that kids sell " world's best chocolate" ... Just because you proclaim it... Doesn't make it so

What happens to the LIV tour when the Saudis stop funding it?

You're the only one interested in speaking in absolutes when you don't know.

Everyone else is just taking the information as they get it.

I was quoting reports from Monday about the Scottish open, and he chimed in with “I Beth they are allowed to play”

So no Mingo, he wasn’t just using information as he was getting it He was actually directly refuting the information on hand at the time.

And acting mine there aren’t absolutes thrown all over the place by people supporting LIV in here

His opinion, not "this is what's going to happen" like you do.

He was opining, and made it quite clear

Slow down, take a breath, and maybe you can speak English.
