I guess the way I look at it is liek this - if you know both sides have bad blood, and you go out of your way to go with a competitor, then expect consequences.

it is dumb, but here we are.

Yep, easy to turn down.

Hard to turn down

Easy for someone to not feel sorry for him at all when he was told the repercussions and made a ton of money for doing it

The entire hoopla and outrage here makes zero sense. The Destrehan post should have been an “end thread” moment

I don't feel sorry for him. But I don't blame him for taking the money, just like I didn't blame any of the LIV players for doing the same. It was the better financial decision.

Highly doubt he'll be suspended very long. If he is, I would imagine LIV would make him an offer.

You started multiple threads on Bryson answering a post round press conference question after the masters

Not true

However what is true is you said downhill putts are no more difficult than uphill putts.

He would be an average player on LIV. He should take it if they offer him.

The guy who hosted the event on his channel just got invited to play a pga tour event for the first time


It’s an unforced error (regardless if it’s within their rights) to allow Grant to play and then suspend Bryan.

The pga suspended one guy who was associated with liv and then allowed a sponsor exemption for a guy much more associated with liv. Bryan having conditional status and Horvat having no status doesn’t really move the needle in terms of how it’s just a dumb position.

Piot is suspended for a year, Horvat gets a sponsors invite. Laurie Canter played LIV and got his Tour card through the DP world tour and played the Players, multiple guys played LIV Q School and didn’t get suspended.

The Tour has been all over the place with their “policy.” And it seems hinges on some subjective thought of someone, some people, inside the Tour whether you’re a “real pro” or not.

And upon further thought, Wesley was on Phil’s YouTube channel, which is seemingly, at least in part, owned by LIV so why wasn’t he already suspended?

Again, I get it, he played in an event with a purse provided by LIV, but the enforcement process has just been all over the place. If I was a lawyer for any of these players, especially ones like Turk petite or James Piot or where suspended with no status, I’d be having wet dreams about this shite

Did grant horvat sign a contract with LIV? James Piot did


Seems like quite a distinction there even though they both were non status players

Ok, then why did you make a dumbass point like Piot was unique?

This can’t be real

Piot signed a contract with liv(like many many others)

Grant Horvat did not sign a contract with liv

That’s a clear distinction the Tour could say why one player was suspended and the other wasn’t even though neither had status

As a non-member, Canter was subject to a one-year suspension from Tour events for playing what the Tour deems an “unauthorized tournament,” which means he was eligible to play on Tour after the Genesis Invitational in February.

But Bryan is suspended indefinitely? The one year is completely arbitrary and not consistent, which is the point.

And again, players with Tour status played in the LIV promotion event and weren’t suspended at all. Bo Hoag played in 8 KFT events in 2025, played LIV promotions, and is in the field this week in Punta Cana

The tour has not responded and I don’t believe they have ever responded publicly. It turns out all the suspensions have appeared to consistently be one year

And nice change from being a complete dickhead since you weren’t correct at first
