Gotta take your hat off to these conservative Islamic countries, they know they’re stuff & take no prisoners
MONEY
You've made me your way, your truth and your life,
the only God you adore.
I grant, in return, what your heart most desires:
more.
– Brendan Kennelly
Level head Mc Ginley 👈
PGA got fucked.
LIV golf WON.
The fans voted. The sponsors voted and the players voted.
Make no mistake LIV was about to land huge sponsorship deals, and sign more BIG name players!!
PGA panicked… they knew they had been check mated!!!
As a fan i love the team aspect
Let’s just say it how it is….money talks, those dodgy Arabs have bundles of it and people will sell their soul for it.
Obviously the split happened because the people at the top hadn't been given enough money, but they've sorted that issue now. Sport is dead. Just about rich people getting even more now
Who cares
Cash is still the almighty, praise Allah!
How do you explain to Rory, Jordan, JT, Tiger etc that you missed out on hundreds of millions of dollars because you were being loyal to the PGA?? I'm done with professional golf. I'll never watch it again.
The Saudis will push this and make it a money making machine like the World Cup where they will charge astronomical rates for pay-per-view and milk the Tour to the detriment of viewers and fans.
The PGA has totally destroyed its reputation. Now they are slaves to the bonesaw guys as well.

Paul’s response was by far the best one I have seen so far.
Will be interesting to see how PGA tour fans react and if they still show up for US events moving forward.
Many of the hard core LIV supporters are happy about this merger. Why? If you hated the pga tour so much, why are they now happy that’s it’s merged. I’m a fan of golf. If this merger means more golf and more international golf, great. But the LIV fans should be equally upset about this than then the LIV haters.
Why did PGA join LIV?: "The love of money is the root of all evil."
Thanks, now a terrorist nation controls the world of golf. Thanks so much Greg and Phil, you ruined the fuccin game!
Under the new arrangement LIV will be in charge of holes 9-11.
MC GINLEY IS AN IRISH DRUNKARD
MCGINLEY HAS TOO MUCH GUINESS AS USUAL
we've learned more about the world and human nature from this, and it is not nice
I don't care to go watch or follow anymore, just play..
Thankss Paul very clear headed ..it ws a pleasure to listen to you, you take care now..
What success? The LIV Tour was an absolute joke and the only TV partner it could get was CW. It was burning money, and it was only a matter of time before the Saudis got tired of throwing good money after bad.
The speed that this agreement happened is an issue?
Trump knew about it last year: "All of those golfers that remain ‘loyal’ to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big ‘thank you from PGA officials who are making millions of dollars a year," Trump posted on Truth Social in July 2022
Ironically the NHLPA is located in Toronto…
Money, money, money! PGA did a 180 turn. Forget the human rights issues just give us the money!
The only people that benefit here are Jay Monahan and the Saudis. The PGA product was always top notch, LIV was going to die in 2024/25 anyway. The price to attend events and buy product will be going up, so the customer/fan will lose in the end. This decision is baffling, would not be surprised if the deal falls through and Monahan is fired.
Not a good day for "democracy" or "ethics". It is very shocking for ANYONE to make such an announcement ….and the PGA members not to have known. This puts ALL PGA golfers at odds with each other. What is "right" and what is "wrong". People who don't care about anything, like the Michelsons, Johnsons, Normans, etc., ….are only interested in one thing.
I would hope the PGA membership are going to meet together to discuss ……without Monahan.
I can only hope also, the viewing audience makes a very clear decision as to continuing to follow or not. Now the system will be "for profit". Surprise, surprise.
.
Monahan needs to go with Norman!
Money Money Money root of all evil.
PGA sold out and threw loyal players under the bus, and the golfers who passed up money, your fools
AT SOME POINT THE SAUDIS HAVE TO ADDRESS THE DISMEMBERSHIP OF A HUMAN CORPS…. THE PGA STANDS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, NOT CUTTING UP A CORPS….. THIS IS A F'ING BUSINESS DECISION, WITH A COO AND HIS BOSS…. TO BE ABLE TO MAKE HUGE PROFITS……
As i said when this first started, this is how it will end. It happen in Australia in the 70s with a cricket breakaway, and a rugby league breakaway in the 90s. Eventually, the powers to be find out they cant really survive on their own.
Americans and money will always overide morality and honesty.
9/11 and Khashoggi. This whole thing is disgraceful.
Money talks, like it or not.
Rich white guys don't care about patriotism, ethics, or anything else as long as they can sign a deal to get even richer. Blood money from terrorists, a "prince" who ordered the butchering murder of a journalist. Disgusting. My heart goes out to the families of Khashoggi and 9-11 dead and the defiled memories of their dead relatives.
They need to give the pga guys that stay their share. They could have sunk the pga tour and they turn around and go behind your back. Guess we'll see
Pga tour got paid thats what happened. The kind of 💰you cant tell others about before you make a deal🤷
In the USA last year the PGA had paid advertisements on TV where the trotted out the families of some of the victims of the 911 attack and they berated the LIV golfers for taking blood money . Apparently the Saudi blood money is now acceptable 😮
I want to have GMac give his opinion
Is not about golf..is about money..not golf anylonger
There is plenty of gresse to go around for all pockets…… sad and gross… of course I have not been offered millions…..
where is me too!!!?
These golfers are just greedy people…its all about money nothing else..all bullshit
