  1. like Rich has never heard of the AFL or ABA before? Why is he acting so surprised. Disappointed in you Rich for not thinking logically.

  2. It cracks me up that Mickelson chose the most embarrassing two inch jump as his logo. There’s Air Jordan and there’s Mickelson’s sorry logo.

  3. I don’t like the debauched bacchanal marketing approach of the LIV Tour and found it unseemly, but I guess the par 3 insanity of the Waste Management event is what they want. I’m 62 and grew up playing golf and this isn’t what I came to love. Hopefully they find the right balance and I am glad to see the best players coming together. This is just what happened with the NFL and AFL and we got the Super Bowl.

  4. This guy Shipnuck is talking out of his arse , nobody knows if the team concept will continue.

  5. Business interests and money always wins out. How hypocritical does everyone look in the PGA management now. Getting in bed with these guys was like dealing with the devil, right? Yeah, until THEY can see a piece of that astronomical money. 😏

  6. The older I get, the more incredible it is that honest, principled people ever resisted to the power of huge money. I think we may be in the last era of this ever being true. It's really ALL about money now, it seems. BTW, tedious??? A marathon is tedious. Let's change that to rap music, drinking beer and eating tacos as you walk 26 miles then.

  7. I grew up in Greensboro, NC, and always enjoyed attending the GGO, now The Wyndham. Looks like it will be a casualty in all of this. 1938-2023 RIP

  8. LIV always wanted to be a 100% team comp! It’s going to be even better… imagine the best players in the world battling in a team format each event

  9. Take the vaccine, support Ukraine, don’t leave the PGA for the LIV… it’s all BS at the end of the day. 😅

  10. Except the South African team, LIVs Golf teams lack any kind of identify and that is why the majority of people don't care. It is a forced concept.

  11. People are being a bit dramatic with all the victim of 9/11 nonsense, they're golfers for christ's sake, they haven't killed anyone. Your government sells Billions in weapons to the Saudi's, start there.

  12. Rich, make sure you don't use any Google product, you know, like YouTube, since The Saudi Public Investment Fund is highly invested in Alphabet. Don't use Microsoft either.
    🤔🤔🤔🤔

  13. It just proves that there were more greedy people in golf than was understood earlier. Mickelson was a millionaire many times over complaining that he didn't make enough money hitting a ball in a hole. The PGA leadership is obviously just as suspect to bribery. Doesn't mean anyone was vindicated
