Wow. Well then, that's that.

Yippee! Now everyone can have blood on their hands and get richer.

Exactly. LIV is trash. If that's the direction the PGA Tour wants go, shame on them. Money ruins EVERYTHING.

They had no choice

I know. It just sucks. Hate to see Phil and Norman vindicated.

So are the bad guys good again, and the good guys more bad now?

It is gross but I won’t care all that much unless the PGA starts having team events

I think they said they were going to incorporate team events.

Blood Money!!!!!

Ha

This was always going to be the end game in some form. I just didn't think they'd get there this quickly. No winners here, except for the many parties who will profit from this.

how are the PGA guys not pissed on this. Guys left for LIV, got paid. PGA convinced others to stay did not get paid and now they are all back together. LIV guys are laughing all the way to the bank

 

[Newhouser]

Not a huge golf fan and this seem liked pampered privileged battling pampered privileged, but from what I have read and seen PGA leadership got handled here. If I was a player who stayed - I'd be peeved.

They’re talking about that right now on the golf channel. LIV golfers made bank and PGA golfers are pissed about the merger. Moynihan, who is now CEO of all golf, is meeting with players this afternoon.

the reports that the PGA players found out about the deal on Twitter is just a perfect end to this debacle by the soon to be unemployed PGA commissioner.

 

[GoSU96]

The lawsuit served its purpose

 

[syrBossHogg]

Blah

 

[UpstateSM]

CBS is going to be mad

 

[GoSU96]

This is a text book case on why you always stay professional and don’t throw mud and insult people and entities you might do business with by choice or not.

The PGA did not have a slam dunk defense against antitrust claims.

As much business as the golf industry does with China to scream about Saudi was the height of hypocrisy.

 

[jordville]

Speaking of LIV.. here is LIV 2.0...

The Saudis are buying American sports culture.

How is golf uniquely American?

I think the PGA Tour with majority tournaments in the US is very American. I didn't post my comment to argue. I'm just saying the Saudis are starting to buy into certain areas (WWE being the first domino). We'll see if the big four sports leagues get involved.

It’s going to end up happening with college sports at some point
