The irony is people will boycott bud light over a trans ad but Saudi oil money....all is good!

Saudi oil Money? ...you mean the money we gave them for our love of SUV's?

 

[R.J. MacReady]

They have it up now, and made sure to still mention sportswashing and the evils of LIV at the end of the article.

I love it ..it's killing them.

Have you stopped driving your car yet?

Have you stopped driving your car yet?

I've also most never boycotted anything in my life so there's that

Except Walmart for a time. I mean they pretty much destroyed the way groceries are done and crippled small mom and pop stores across the country. But even on that I relented.

This is absolutely hilarious!

Chamblee, Moynihan, Rory, Tiger all exposed as the huge hypocrites they are.

How the fuck does this move make Chamblee, Rory, and Tiger look like hypocrites? They had absolutely no knowledge or say in this move.

Moynihan? yes - fuck him.

Fish isn't much different than our boy Monty on the whole LIV vs PGA thing.

I never understood the hate towards the players...I just didn't like the distraction that it caused. The golf is obviously better when all the stars are there.

Chamblee having no knowledge? Probably or definitely, he knows little about anything.

Rory and Tiger not knowing anything? Surely you aren't that gullible.

I think we can all agree that the worst thing about this is having to watch Patrick Reed again...

I was enjoying golf without him being a thing.

Tiger and Rory should start their own league and use whatever lawyers the Saudi’s had for their lawsuit against the pga. Rinse and repeat

Seems PGA remains in charge of the PGA. So no rules should change there.

LiV will end up dissolving back into the PGA now that the Saudi's are invested in the PGA.

I think the bigger issue is around some of the tournaments (like the Byron Nelson locally) which would be impacted. I could easily see them going by the wayside in the name of money...

Yeah, how does the PGA spin this as anything other than selling out????

Money talks

I get the big names aren't going to golf every weekend but some of the fields this year are a bit shaky to be kind.

Golf is the biggest sport they could buy off. Hockey doesn't have the international reach golf does. The other big 3 aren't for sale. NASCAR couldn't be that bold.

Monahan = Tom Wambsgans?

Bro - No players knew. None. Zero. Zilch. Maybe 4-5 people total knew about it. Greg Norman himself didn't even find out until 3 minutes before the announcement.
