Said that,
It's the PGAT trying again to control all aspects of golf.
The PIF seems to have full control of the alliance as nothing can be authorised without their agreement. They will not foolishly invest billions of dollars without any control. Some people are saying that prior to this alliance/merger several sponsors have been withdrawing from the PGA Tour, because of concerns regarding their return on investment.
Saudi money. Thank you for proving the hypocrisy of the PGA. RIP halal kshoggi!
Blah,Blah,Blah – When PGA and DP Tour started to lose sponsors, they saw the writing. They had to capitulate or die. This lawyer is talking about something that won't happen.
Big mistake
How much did Monahan put in his pocket. The worst day in golf.
As part of the merger, the PGA will control holes 1-8 and 12-18.
The Saudis do 9-11.
I wouldn't be surprised if the DOJ steps in
I heard mention in another discussion of this breaking news that LIV events will remain exclusive to their current players. If the LIV tournaments continue to carry the biggest purses, albeit fewer events globally, there surely have to be serious doubts about this being a 'true merger'?
A tiger. 800 million. DANG
PGA tour is aligning itself with murderer thugs, hence declaring for this sport and athletes have no morality. Everything is for sales for the almighty dollars. I hope people will boycott the golf tournaments and it’s coverage.
What happened to blood money? All of sudden, it’s ok and anti-trust is only issue remaining?? ridiculous… it’s like if you are having an affair, it’s a romance… if someone else is having an affair, it’s a crime… talk about hypocrisy…
Best thing to ever happen to golf. Golf will now grow at never seen before rates. The world wants to see the best play.
Jody is fantastic
This sellout by Jay Douchahan is one of the most embarrassing stories in modern sports. And did Brandel and the other holier-than-thou mouthpieces find enough sand to bury their head in??? Phil, Brooks, DJ, Bryson, Cam, are all on the right side of history. Jay Monahan is a disgrace and he'll never live this down.
The PGA Conservative Christians, gave into the Devil.
A: My moral is the same as your moral. Yet, my moral can be different then your moral, when I need it to be.
B: Wait! What?
A: Now that the contract was signed and monies transferred, we’ll let you know what OUR moral is soon.
B: Wait! What?
A: 2024 calendar will be out soon!
B: Can’t wait!
Hahahaha!!! I can't wait to hear what Rory names his LIV team!! Hahaha!!!!
Seems like simple blackmail to me
If PGA doesn't care where the money comes from
then PGA should partner with drug cartel.
Saudi Arab is much worse than Putin.
People need to apologize to Phil Mickelson, he was spot on. Bottom line, this is about money. The PGA Tour corporate elites finally got their money and sold out Rory and Tiger. Goes to show people, Patriotism does not trump Money.
This is the latest in America support for terrorism thats all. They got jealous of LIV 😅😅😅
PGA는 그동안 LIV의 유혹에도 PGA를 지켰던 선수들에게 어떤 보상을 할거냐? 내가 만약 로리 맥길로이라면 PGA 폭파시키고 싶을 것이다. 로리 맥길로이 같은 선수들 뒤통수를 친 PGA는 사업 접어라. 합병은 무슨 합병이냐.
PGA shows the world that they are open to be "bought" by BIG MONEY from Saudis. I wont be shocked if many title sponors in Pro Golf in USA will withdraw their financial support on most of the PGA events including FedEx.
DoJ must step into the picture.
Otherwise, the roof of the golfing industry might collaspe overnight along with the careers of golfers in America and the rest of the world.
PGA must remain above all else and independent body!
COMMISH LIED TO ALL THE PGA PLAYERS..
Yes, Professor Jodi Balsam is brilliant. Thank you. Jay Monahan? Not so much.
Seems like the pga is saying they got the better end of this deal. Who controls a company: the ceo or the investors? Now your in bed with Saudi Arabia big money. Good luck pga
I have a 32 handicap- can I get some oil money?
My gut tells me we may see golf Pay per view. Watch out
This attorney makes it sound like the PGA is holding all the cards, funny aren’t they the ones who were running out of money.
