I honestly don't know.

I honestly don't know.

Me neither

 

[ill]

Me neither

to me, while I like seeing the big names play, I don't think I watch enough golf to care. I love me some golf and I do like seeing some of these big players out there, but I don't watch on a week to week basis to really care.

It does for me a little bit more since I volunteer at events ad I would love to see quality play with "names" but I get what you are saying

I agree with you there...I want to see the Rahms and Cam Smiths play.

but anyone on the tour is better than me and as long as it is competitive, I am good with it.

It seems like the merge might be dead. But its tough to blame anyone for taking $600m as much as I hate this for the sport of golf.

No you can't blame someone for taking the money, especially that amount.

Merger is dead?

Deadline is 12/31. PGA has already been meeting other suitors. It's not going to happen. And honestly it probably was never going to happen.

I thought deal was already "done" but obviously not... Wonder how long before the entire PGA Tour jumps to LIV. I mean how many people can pass up $300+ million dollar deals?

I think it is pretty clear that the players really don't care about the fans and that is kind of bothering me most about all this.

In interviews with several tournament directors and officials, Sports Illustrated found that "tournaments are not happy at all," with one tournament director explaining that the Tour is "asking each tournament for a large fee and a revenue share."

One tournament director said that sponsors were "saying they won’t do it, they’ve had enough."

Phil and LIV have killed professional golf with their greed. I hope they are happy with their 17 viewers on the fucking CW.

So tournaments are unhappy with the money the pga tour wants, yet it's Phil and LIV's fault?

That's some serious mental gymnastics you've got going on there.

Why do you think the PGA is having to push for higher and higher payouts that are completely unsustainable is a capitalist business model?

Because their players demand it.

The PGA tour would be perfectly happy keeping all the money for themselves and just giving out trophies if the players would go along with it.
