Greg Norman With Tucker.

Norman apparently swings a big dick. Have to give the guy credit.

Norman pointed out that ARAMCO, a Saudi energy company is the largest sponsor of the LPGA tour. So i guess it’s ok for the women folk to play for dirty Saudi money? Also the companies that sponsor the PGA do about 50 billion dollars worth of business in Saudi per year. Why has t the PGA cut the ties with those sponsors?

Tucker is worth putting up with fox.

Amd bongino. Bongino called biden a murderer on his show Saturday night

Bongino is one of the most trustworthy voices in the conservative media sphere.

no he's not, he's an extremely stupid POS that doesn't deserve in the same stratosphere as Rush.

I don’t really care for liv golf. It’s a rich gimmick right now where only 48 players are allowed in no cut shortened events with guaranteed money.

I’m very curious because my gut feeling is the masters is going to stand firm and not let anyone, even past champions participate. That will rock the world of golf like nothing else.

As this board likes to say, play stupid games.

Of course Augusta could say they don’t care and just do what they do and PGA golf could suffer but I doubt it.

I don’t think that’s the biggest gripe with it. There’s a difference between owning and sponsoring. The amount of money they’re paying these players is more than they’ll ever make off the product.

Just my opinion - the saudis saw an opportunity to control an entire American sports league for less money than buying one nfl team.

To me, one of the great things about golf is that there are no owners so most of the money already goes back to the players and that pay is directly tied to their performance.

I foresee them buying a bunch of players, crushing the pga, then cutting back all of the purses and no longer giving contracts. The organization still pulls the same amount of revenue but only half of it goes to the players.

So the PGA owns the rights to the players highlights. If a sponsor or player want to use any of those for advertisement they have to pay the PGA to do so. Also players are required to play in a minimum number of events to keep their card. Any player wishing to play in a non PGA endorsed event must file for a waiver and is only eligible to do so 5 times in a year. Sounds like ownership rules to me. Not to mention the PGA banning players for playing in LIV events instead of approving waivers for the 8 LIV events,
