The US invaded the wrong countries on purpose because of oil. At this point it's a known fact that the WMD line was a farce to get the US public on board with an invasion. What matters now is that the Saudis are committing a genocide in Yemen, with American-made weapons and support from virtually every US politician.

The Saudi International is a golf tournament held at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia. The title sponsor of the tournament is PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUND, a Saudi government sovereign wealth fund. PGA players were granted permission to play, by Jay Monahan, in this tournament back in February. I wonder if Jay's bank account got a little bigger back around February when he granted PGA players permission to play in the Saudi International tournament. The sponsor of the Saudi International tournament is the exact same people who sponsor LIV Golf, but somehow the Saudi International isn't "Saudi backed". Hypocrisy to the core.

"Forty years ago, it was considered by some a risky move for the guys who play professional golf to break away from the group created for golf professionals." This was about the PGA Tour splitting from The PGA of America in 1969. "The golf breakup occurred largely because of the influx of money that television had started to pump into the game. The top players (Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer among them) wanted to use the additional TV money to pump up the purses." "The PGA of America wanted to put the money in the general fund. That's when the compromise was reached, with the golf professionals and the professional golfers going their separate ways." Sounds a bit like today... The PGA tour categorized itself as a non profit so it could avoid hundreds of millions in tax revenue. That decision is now haunting them since it also means they can't hand out guaranteed money contracts like other professional sports.The LIV tour is doing exactly that so it's not surprising top level golfers want guaranteed money. If someone loses their PGA tour card they're gone with very little support. I don't see how you can treat people as independent contractors and then complain when they go elsewhere.

Phil released a statement that said " he is glad that the PLAYERS finally have some leverage in regards to changing some of the PGA rules that in some respects puts itself over the players. Much like the NCAA in college sports the PLAYERS who bring in the MONEY have always been just employees and not partners with the PGA and the NCAA. Free Agency came into baseball and moved that sport forward and made the players and owners more like partners unlike the PGA and NCAA.

I do not understand how LIV Golf that is operated by the Saudis is going to make the PGA Tour better. I have my opinion of Phil's decision and the money the Saudis offered him and that he accepted for membership in their LIV Golf. I just don't like the looks of this whole situation at all. The Saudis flew planes in to our World Trade Center buildings on 9/11 and, the way Phil answered and acted while he was grilled with questions during the US Open, he seemed to have the attitude of "that was then, this is now" sort of thing. That horrific day that will go down in infamy, just like the deliberate attack on Pearl Harbor, HI by the empire of Japan. One of the announcers on the US Open said that Phil definitely is not himself the way he spoke/acted during those hard questions, Phil avoided answering many of the questions and kept giving the same answer over and over. Sounded he was told what to say maybe by the Saudis. I don't know. Just too weird.

@darrentillman9048 2 года назад

It’s not really a like for like comparison. your hypothetical twitter would have to be owned by a political regime who has murdered over 100 people. If you said that You want to change companies because it’s an exciting new format and you want to grow social media instead of admitting it’s for the money, then it’s more of a fair comparison to what these players are doing. If these players just nut up and say it’s for the money then I don’t think a lot of people are as mad at this. Once they get off their knees for the PIF and just say they went to be rich less people will have a problem with this

The continuous example of why Phil chose the LIV Tour is that it offers the ability to spend more time with ones he loves. Being that he has (or had) a lifetime exemption on the PGA Tour, doesn’t this provide the same ability? He can literally play as many or as little tournaments as he desires.

@@sdrebels13 exactly dude. The PGA has their panties in a huge bunch because they now have competition. They are condemning the golfers for switching because they say it’s just for the money. That’s exactly what they’re worried about. Losing their players and therefore their money. And for all this 9/11 stuff, it’s ridiculous. Are these actually the same people that Greenlighted the terrorist attacks? No. They just live in the same country. That would be like living in 1830 and someone from another country punching a northerner in the face because the Southerners were slaveowners. It’s stupid. Professional golfer should be able to play wherever they like.

Sure he can. But he can play many, many fewer tournaments and make way, way more money. The number of events you play on the pga tour has a bearing on many different things like playoffs and how much you earn.

Watching Golf Channel commentary on US Open, and was wondering, considering the USOpen is not the USPGA event, would coverage not be “professional” if it is balanced without being partisan?

Doing the same thing over and over again or transforming something??
