I was originally sort of ambivalent about the LIV...until the PGA Tour effectively declared war on it. The vitriol emanating from the PGA Tour and its toadies convinced me to take another look and I'm siding with the LIV now. It's another tour, people want to make the best money they can and that's something which should be apparent to all. Since the PGA Tour has cast itself as a bully here, I cannot side with it.

""First time I've heard of this.''...??? So you're a really big golf & Greg Norman fan then...?!? 😆🐳⛳😆

Really? West Palm?

I've moved out of a great state to land a teaching job, unfortunately. loved Florida. Moved away from PBG. My rental looked out over the Bear Trap.

What do you mean

@@mattc9412 The PGA was headquarted in West Palm but has now suddenly moved to Texas.

Absolutely, i don't even wanna play it, let alone watch it, but to each their own i guess. Chasing a ball around a hot hay field doesn't interest me at all. I tried it a couple times and was beating the guy that was showing me how to play. I think Payne Stewart ruined it for me, he was from my hometown and the way he dressed while playing made me lose all respect for golfers, much like shriners and those fez hats, i just can't be a part of that idiocy

I'm assuming you don't play golf. When I was young I couldn't understand how people could watch golf either, but then I started playing. Only then could I appreciate what I was watching on TV and began to understand just how skilled the men/women who play golf for a living really are.

@@michaelwalsh564 I can see how that could be. I used to like to do martial arts, spar, box. I love to watch the UFC. A lot of people probably have odd ideas about UFC fans (most are kind/nice people actually, and typically the opposite of a bully).

You can't be serious?

lol. you could say the same about the WNBA, but it's been around for decades. the LIV league has been functioning for half a year. i'm not saying it's guaranteed to stick around, but you just never know. for the sake of golf, i hope it does. i'm an obsessive golfer but even i can't watch regular PGA events. i'm from metro Detroit and the showout for the Rocket Mortgage was pretty sad. even now, i only watch highlights on youtube from majors. i would honestly rather watch Good Good or Rick Shiels or Peter Finch than a normal PGA tour event.

@@philkwon81 I’d rather watch them than the LIV events too. Tried LIV, didn’t like the format. One guy finishing on a par 3 and one finishing on a reachable 5 plus the team concept doesn’t work for me. Just not enjoyable to me and not as much competitive tension for those final holes. Just my opinion of course but the RU-vidrs are more entertaining than any of the pro events right now and I still prefer the PGA for competitive viewing.

What do you suppose the ticket sales and ratings looked like for the third ever PGA event. Why must people think they have to choose one or the other? Why is competition a bad thing for the PGA?

You said it best.Out of all the long TV segments are hoopla and back and forth they could have just said what you said and saved everybody time. I wonder if the LIV had said We are a start up league but we are ambitious and optimistic and we are in it for the Love of the Game , The integrity of the Golf, To stop the PGA Monopoly and Give Players are choice. However the first year or two the purses will be lower and no appearance fees. How many players would have switched for the "Love of the Game" "Player Freedom" and helped see it through from the start. The answer would be 0

I guess that would also apply to the PGA then.

Exactly! Getting interviewed by a lackey like Tucker Carlson and playing at a Trump course with blood money from the Saudi regime that killed a U.S. reporter, says everything you need to know about Greg Norman.

And the PGA is not about the Money? Yep, the PGA players play for just the Prestige!

@@pl1532 but apparently Saudi money also flows to the PGA and women's golf... shall we boycott everything that accepts Saudi money? "Come on man".

Except all the actual top players are leaving the PGA... also the PGA doesn't really pay the players/athletes crap especially when comapered to any other sport they also dont pay the athletes for using their likeness (in order to play on the PGA they have to basically sign it away for free)... also the only reason the PGA is in an outrage is because another major golf league would mean that the PGA wouldn't have a preverbial communistic grasp on the sport from the time a kid is old enough to swing a club until the day they go into the grave (pga has no competition they are the only major league to play proffesionally and you will not find that in any other sport).. also as i was saying anout the PGA not paying their athletes anything dustin johnson was #1 in the world for YEARS and constantly finishing in the top 5-10 in ebery majors tournament and essentially every tournament (and for the most part still does) and his net worth is only $50million afte4 being pro for almost 20yrs now, too put that in comparison thats less than your average football or basball or soccer or any other major sport player makes under one 4 yr contractvand remember he was #1 in the world for atleast 5yrs and on the cover of anything and everything PGA mceroy is onky worth $170mil and was #1 in the world for 100 weeks (basically 2yrs) the vast majority of that money has came from sponsorships and not even from the PGA

Can't blame them for wanting to play both.but if it's in the rules they can't. Then I agree .

@@richardgrace5043 None of the actual top players have left the PGA. Some big names that were around the top 3-5 years ago have left, but they are no longer the top tier players. This is part of the reason they jumped. Dechambeau, Koepka, Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson, these guys have rarely been competing at the top of the leaderboard the past couple of years and have struggled to make cuts. I don't blame them for taking the money, but they are not top tier players. They are past their peak names.

You can't play in a unauthorised tour and be a member of the PGA...it was in the rules when they signed for the PGA...suck it up!!!!

@@richardgrace5043 I believe only 5 or 6 of the top 20 players from last years FEDEX cup standings have gone to LIV. Not that many considering the money. But PGA players make plenty of money from tournaments and sponsors. I see your point of your comparison to other major sports though.

Lol, so that makes Saudi blood money alright? That's such a bad take

@@DH-lm6kh No...I never said, or meant that.

I sure the ball bounced off the side of his foot and he was in fact very proud of you. Many are too intimidated to try. Do you play at all now that your dad passed? Maybe he can nudge one in and if not will be equally as proud that you are out there.

awhh bless you

That’s an Awsome story ❤ I got tears of joy in my eyes😢

Did he get chopped up by Saudi assassins?

@@flipnotrab you are so ign*orant

Ask the pitch man who's spamming the comments.

Get woke go broke!

Phil did also especially when he critisized the pga about holding back money and he was right. the tour then increased purses for a lot of tournaments.

and do you have any idea or thoughts about the saudi family ????

@@kKrissF No.
