LIV vs PGA

[Montalban]

of course I was...I love a good comeback

and it doesn't matter who it is making the run

that's what makes golf exciting...someone (anyone) can get on a hot streak and make a run at the lead.

which is why I don't care about the guys who left for LIV...maybe except for Cam

Then why does it matter who runs the LIV? Would you not enjoy a good comeback in their events?

I honestly don't care to seek out their events.

You don't like the golf or is it some political nonsense?

nothing political and it has nothing to do with the game being played...

I just don't feel the need to seek it out. I know the golfers are good and whatever...but I don't have any issues with the PGA and get plenty of golf watching with what is already available. I don't need more.

How are those guys butthurt? They are having a blast and have set their families up for life. I'm more anti PGA than I am pro LIV. I hope they make it because that is more golf but I cannot condone business giants trying to monopolize any business and destroy its competition its anti-American.

It doesn't get more American than a league funded by Saudi Arabia

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that

No it's not. It's a sideshow where the players are there to chase a paycheck, not immortality. It's shallow.

Rory McIlroy calls no-show by critic James Hahn a 'slap in the face'

The World No. 3 took note of the fact that one of the biggest critics of the new Designated Event Model was not at a player meeting Tuesday at the Players Championship and he was not happy

Jesus McIlroy, shut the fuck up already you whiny little bitch.

Seems like Hahn is the whiny little bitch. I can understand where Hahn is coming from...but he needed to show up and voice his opinion for god's sake. Hopefully there were others who chose a different course of action.

I don't understand exactly what things are going to look like in 2024, but I'm not feeling good about it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the fields as they are.

but there is glory and tradition in the wins on the PGA.

is there glory to go with the LIV wins? Is anyone going to remember who won what even a year from now? Probably not.

you should just start a "I don't like Rory" thread if that is what you want to bitch about all the time

I think Hahan is tired if he elitist asshokes like McIlroy trying to take more money from them. He has a point but he should just be honest and say “I’m doing this for me” instead of “I’m doing this for all the Tour players”

That’s true and that would be one of the main reasons I would want to play on the tour but if I was a guy like Joaquin Neimann whose family is counting on him to come up with the almost 2 million dollars a year it costs for his niece’s medication and treatment I’d go LIV in a heart beat

There would be too many lists to respond to if I did that

it sucks that healthcare doesn't cover something like that...

I think he’s from Chile but I remember hearing that something was going on down there to challenge the legality of gouging people on the price of medicine that people need to survive
