"Rory McIlroy, Don't Begrudge Other Players!" Greg Norman Debates LIV Golf With Piers Morgan 

He so far up himself me me me I'm the one I done this I done that he's a shister

Lol. The tour has their own rules and the players signed those rules. They could of played elsewhere but they signed tour rules. Now they want to violate those rules and sue the tour so they can play both tours? LIV doesn’t allow their players to do interviews without permission. Imagine an “independent contractor” who can’t speak without permission. Norman has been fighting with the tour for 30 years. This is his payback. So many uninformed people on here.

@@earnwithhearn180 I wish what you said was true but there’s overwhelming evidence that players were often given permission to play in non-sanctioned events. Can you say Tiger Woods! Greg Norman was given exemptions and the list goes on and on and on. The truth is the PGA monopoly, I’m not for profit one I might add, is fat and bloated and entitled. They make an absolute fortune off of their stars and will do anything and everything to shut them down when it does not suit their ends. The easy answer was for the PGA to have a little vision but they’ve not had it in 30 years. It’s an American tour for American players to make American money for their lifestyles. They are a long ways away from promoting golf at a global level

@@earnwithhearn180 Exactly right!

@@earnwithhearn180 Imagine how the World would be if we all just remain silent and do nothing when there is something not right at all? Moreover, is it reasonable and acceptable that a person who is guilty of one thing cannot criticize another' having done some other things wrong?

Piers did an excellent job. Norman never answered the bug question - is it fair to criticize LIV because of Saudi involvement. Rory and Jay won't have any kind of questions like that.

Monahan would does not have to courage to be interviewed by a real journalist

Maybe Piers can ask Rory how long was he sleeping w Meghan Markle. Or was he given a fee?

Maybe. but he let Greg deflect the thought question with one sentence answer rather than pushing the issuer. Anyways. Later.

@@JasonSchierling Well, the PGA is involved with the Saudis, China, and UAE. I would love to hear Rory respond to that.

Yes!

.. Of course, they want something for not very much.. if your that good, play on the PGA.. greedy gits

Indeed.

PHIL WAS RIGHT...

Sounds great on paper until you find out where the liv golf money is coming from lol

What are you talking about? Golf has always been massive you absolute fool

Please explain how he has grown the game ?

@@collydub1987 So why is the disparity between the PGA Tour and other worldwide tours so huge? Take a look at southern hemisphere golf as an example. Who's the fool now?

He is destroying the game..

.. You don't know much about this man then... he is a greedy, totally disloyal entitled arse.. sorry Greg your time has gone, you were a great golfer, even though you only won two majors.. now go to bed with your hot milk and biccies

Lol. He isn’t doing this for charity. Norman is a business man and has been at odds with the pga tour for 30 years. It’s personal for him IMO.

Greg is for Greg and Greg only. You'll see as this LIV mess proceeds.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is not free market competition, this is a state actor involving themselves, it's a whole different thing

I need more of an explanation from you about what you wrote.. since when are monopolies remotely a better thing in a commercial arena

@@FAC1806 I'm not saying pga tour was perfect or necessarily even good, but this type of competition, a foreign state intervening in the market for political purposes, is not the answer

@@danw5760 Political purposes? Really?

@@FAC1806 You're aware of who is behind Liv are you not?

Greg Norman is a reptilian shapeshifter making chemtrails. You let the white man bring you down smh

So you prefer 54 no cut silly team games with washed up golfers earning £zillions for “turning up” to historical PGA tournaments enabling young players to forge a living through hard work and talent … lol

Over two years ago, still is within the LIV era. Man you really are terrible at keeping track of anything, i'm surprised you manage to work out how to comment on YT.

LMAO, you think that's a lot for professional sports? #160 in the NBA gets paid $8.75 million!!!! There is not a single NBA player that makes less than $1 million guaranteed each year. And how many men go out and buy thousands of dollars of basketball gear based on those guys vs. how many buy thousands of dollars of golf gear based on what the pros use.

I like when Piers is like this. He is informed and asks the right questions and actually allows his interview to respond. Other times he and other journalists constantly interrupt their guests when they give answers that do not correspond with their narrative.

And regarding the Saudi stuff, yah the Saudis suck, but the PGA has taken its fair share of blood money

LIV is a 3 day exhibition. You watch one less day of golf if you watch LIV vs PGA. So you're complaining about 1 additional day. And LIV has more fluff to make up for their lack of talent on the field. They're a sideshow act

So players choosing to do what is best for them caused a divide for you? Grow a god damn pair!!! P.S if you'd bother to listen to any presser with both ears, every single LIV golfers has acknowledged they are going for the money. And having others reasons is not mutually exclusive. And you'll find only a handful of players of the 48 said anything about playing less and more family time, which again i don't know why you would have an issue with. This applies to every golfer on every tour when it comes to wanting to play for more money and still wanting more family time.

think about that on your way to work tomorrow. you are there for what?

@@mineshjogia9945 I think you’ll find that the main players who people actually knew who went to liv started off by saying everything other than that they were going for money. They absolutely did say they were going to grow the game and that they were happy they got to play less golf and be with their families but then out their names on a lawsuit so they could play pga tour ? Make it make sense. Only a couple like Richard bland and pat Perez were honest from the beginning

they literally only left the PGA for more money... no other reason... as if theyre going to ever take a cut at this point

And a complete psychopath

You couldn’t be more wrong….. it’s Norman who thinks God should bow to him…….

PGA showing their Corp side. Aloha.

He went to the pga tour because that’s where the best players are. That’s always been the case. All the top players haven’t went to liv only about 3 of the top 15 went so yeah, not quite.

Who wants 54 non cut tournaments with silly team games played by washes up golfers just in it for the easy pay day .. LMFAO 🤣

You forgot to mention Rahm. Spieth is a no one. He has been horrible for the longest time.

@@Possumzz And Scheffler, and Schauffele. And a LOT more. Look, the PGA Tour's old slogan was true" These guys are GOOD." As they are on the European Tour, and the Japan Tour, and the Sunshine and the Australian. And many others.

It IS sports washing, and it IS about money.But it is just because there is so much money in Saudi that they can wait for return on investment. But there are already rumblings that they are dissatisfied that there was so little return the first season. If it does not graph sharply upward in Season 2, LIV may be in trouble.

@@VLind-uk6mb It IS NOT about money. It'll be a long time, if ever, before the Saudis see a return on their investment and they know that.

Some were speculating its a way into the corporate sponsors.

Man this "have your cake and eat it" comment is just the most annoying copy paste PGAT propaganda out there, usually repeated by people who have no clue the majors are not the PGAT, nor is the Ryder Cup and the LIV is not a competitor to either.

What I mean is they cannot qualify to play because there playing a different kind of golf tournament which is pretty simple to understand I thought

@@eamonnoneill1340 They're not playing a different kind of golf tournament though. They are literally playing just 18 holes less, everything else is the same more or less, played under R&A/USGA rules. If you actually think about it, a regular 72 hole tournament is actually two back to back 36 hole events, with the first 36 dictating where you start the last 36. And the first 36 is played by so many golfers, the field always breaks into a good and a bad side of the draw. Basically a 72 hole tourney, is actually two back to back 36 holes events with a bunch of luck thrown in over the first 36, and unfair/really good starting score for the last 36 depending on which side of the draw you fell on in the first 36. This makes it less superior to a 54 hole, shotgun start, no cut event, where everyone plays all 54 in same conditions. Then we have the fact, the current OWGR is able to rank tournaments with 54 holes just like it could any other format (so they got no excuses really), and if they refuse to, others such as datagolf are showing how it can be done. This is just math's and can easily be done. This is far simpler math's than calculating orbits of satellites. Give me couple hours and i could come up with half a dozen rankings systems. What amazes me, is how the OWGR can give points at the Tour Championship, which is a limited field event, no cut, and players don't even start on the same score. Nothing gets weirder than that and they still manage to figure out how to give points. And worse still Will Z got points for the event and he did not even hit a shot. This is one of many examples. So when OWGR or the PGAT and their sheep say it's doesn't fit the criteria/rules or they are not playing the same as us, and whatever other excuse they come up with, it's all bs. As for qualifying via other methods outside of rankings such as Open/US Open qualifiers, or winning events (which admittedly you need to have qualified for) that get you in does not impact LIV golfers or change anything about how they work unless they ban LIV players from playing qualifiers. Which if they did, the majors would lose credibility and be in a massive legal battle. So nothing changes. now the PGAT/DPWT will try and limit events to LIV players so they cannot qualify that way. But that is an action taken by spiteful tours, not the R&A or the other major organizers.

Look at the end of the day I think the vast majority of pro golfers and golf fans have no interest what so ever in liv which is why no tv network will buy it and the Saudi royal family are going to have to buy time on fox sports channel to get it on tv I think that says it all don’t you pathetic really

No one watches that tour.. Ive never watching one seniors event. ive watched LIV 3 weeks now and Im becoming a fan. Money talks bullshit walks

We wouldn't need Saudi oil if we would tap into our own resources.

Just because our society has been structured in a way where we are dependent on their oil, it doesn't mean we don't have the right to critique their sport washing endeavours.

@@teaandbiscuits1 Spoken like a complete hypocrite 🤣

It really isn't

@@collydub1987 you're far too polite.

Yeah so cool 150 people watching golfs elders …

.. No it is not... its for golfers past their best.. we have a seniors tour for that.. Rory is correct.. and I have not been his biggest fan

@@imemine6494 the senior tour is more enjoyable then the PGA tour right now

Wasn't that over the vaccination issue?

@@VLind-uk6mb Yip

@@VLind-uk6mb Wimbledon over Ukraine

I bet you his list of doing things for others is miles longer than your bro!

@@mineshjogia9945.. Your going to bet, on knowing nothing of each person.. Norman is a greedy man, with no loyalty except to himself

WHAT has Monahan done without being paid over $10 million a year other than damage pro golf

That's not where a man's credibility is only gauged, and it also sounds like you are having a complete guess at Norman's private life. And on top of all that even if Norman is the devil it still doesn't mean the PGA are right. PGA crybabies clutching at straws is all I read about Liv.

@@imemine6494 Sure, I know of quite a few of GN's, and i also know Tolbs is an insane PGAT guy who is really upset. One is creating tours and opportunities, while Tolbs just bitches about a tour he hates for no real good reason. Now i might be wrong but knowing what i do know, there is no way i could bet on Tolbs.

.. Oh yeah, how, when all the best players are on the PGA???

Already Has !! PGA Tour is done Tiger 🐅 can barely walk

@@imemine6494 12 of the last 24 majors were won by LIV players.....and the best player in the world Cam Smith and winner of the most recent major just left the PGAT for LIV

@@SiLoMixMaster.. 24 majors???.. thats over six year period.. I don't think the likes of mcdowell for example, would win another major... do you?

@@imemine6494 Well he's won the same amount of majors in the past 6 years as his fellow Northern Irishman Rory so you tell me 🤣🤣

What did the USA do with COVID?

@@collydub1987 Covid came from a lab leak arising from research sponsored by the USA. China, of course, is also culpable. Who is not culpable are countries like Sweden, Australia, India, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Mexico, Indonesia, amongst many others!

@Jackie Jay that’s not fair cos if those players Chuck there Pga tour cards they’ll be left with no tour to play hope this liv fails 🤭

That is the best rebuttal I’ve heard to date, well said. PGA tour business model with sponsors is based on providing x% of available PGA players to each tournament, so approving releases to play elsewhere instead of that weeks event is part of that equation. That’s why it’s in the PGA player signed agreement.

LIV players dont want to play in PGA tour. They want world ranking points and right to play in majors and Rider cup all of which currently is monopolized by PGA

@@zubairhameed The PGA Tour has NOTHING to do with the majors, nor with the Ryder Cup. There seems to be some confusion here between the PGA and the PGA Tour. The PGA is like the R&A. The PGA Tour is a separate entity altogether-- it runs the competitive season, including the Presidents' Cup, which they do own, and the World Golf Championships (although they are nominally run by the International Federation of PGA Tours, which includes the European Tour and several others). Most of these tours are PGAs -- it stands for Professional Golf Association. The PGA runs the US Ryder Cup team (the DPWT, i.e. the European Tour, runs the European team). It runs one major, the PGA Championship. The Masters is run by Augusta National Golf Club and is an invitational. The Open is run by the R&A, and the US Open is run by the USGA. These four entities determine the composition of their respective fields. I agree that the LIV players are not all that set on playing on the PGA Tour -- several have said that one of the inducements to join LIV was to play less --but they need to play it and other Tours to maintain or improve their ranking points. What they want is for the OWGR to grant LIV ranking points. Which, if sanity prevails, it never will. Why should a "tour" of 48 players, playing only 54 holes without a cut, get points? The senior Tours, which only play 54 also, do not despite having full fields and cuts. LIV offers retirement plans for players whose careers are fading -- Pat Perez would have had a hard time getting into many PGA Tour events. Westwood and Poulter might always have a chance in Europe through invitations, as they are popular, but Westwood was about done on the PGAT and Poulter was headed there. Younger players, some very up and coming, opted for money rather than legacy. Good Lord, Pereira almost won the PGA as a ROOKIE. His future on the PGAT was golden. Henrik Stenson was ALREADY a Ryder Cup Captain; future shoo-ins Westwood, Poulter and Garcia may have sacrificed that opportunity. Cameron Smith, who doubtless is as money-conscious as the next player, was probably the most sincere about playing less -- he has often said he wished he could spend more time in Australia. It was a good interview. But Norman hedged on a Putin-sponsored tour. He does not give a damn about "morality." He is and always has been about money, and he makes few bones about it. LIV is, not purely but certainly simply, a commercial entity. And that, in the end, may be its undoing.

to who...the PGA's corporate masters?

@@billmoyer3254 are you dunce or something man? I just said “ traditional and loyalty to the ones who helped them and gave them a platform. Which I think you can’t understand Benedict Arnold

Or they are too stuck in their ways to be able to recognize other opportunities. Not everyone likes the old ways.
