more and more rumours! What are your thoughts?
Tiger has made 120 million in 23/24 years now Rahm has just passed him at 29 years old and the tour plays for 490 million dollars during the season and he passed that. I say do your thing man I’m still a fan of his golf. Keep on keeping on man!!
I will not be watch any LIV tournaments what do ever
Money buys anything and obscene amounts of money will continue to turn heads. I personally don't like it and don't watch LIV but amounts like Rahm's $600 mill are so extreme that they actually distort many things outside of golf. That being said, If I was offered $600 mill for knocking a little white ball around with reasonable accuracy, I would likely take it too.
Read your list slick. 6 to 4 LIV not 5 to 5
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but all this PGA/LIV saga is turning me off as a viewer. You have to search through Youtube to find LIV games. The long tradition of the game is going out the window. Its a friggin mess.
To be honest TF hasn’t done much. And neither has TH. New stars will make a name for themselves. For example Aberg will be a star. TF and TH are just filler players for the most part. Folks don’t tune in to watch these 2.
i would feel like a traitor to my country if I ever watched LIV golf. Not going to happen!!!
Its 6 Liv 4 Pga you cant count bro.
Callaway Sponsoring Rahm's team would be very similar to Team Taylormade. They could make Vids and stuff, make it fun. What about a Manufacturers Team Tour contest tournament game series league spectacle event thing?
Hothead Hatton?
He will fit right in, club throwing is acceptable.
Finau
Family guy, get his block of dough and have financial security in less than 3 yrs. Makes sense too.
Wait until PIP starts splashing money to buy the Waste Management tourney in Arizona for their LIV portfolio. WAIT, they can just pay the city of Phoenix a big pile of dough and start their own tourney.
😮
As a golf course owner I follow with great interest. This is how I see it – ( my 10 cents worth ) the players trying to influence the pga and their decisions are tiger rory and Justin – their arrogance and lack of high level business acumen thinking that the guys on the other side are just going to roll over is a joke – the guys I refer to are some of the wealthiest well educated and leaders of the business community on a global scale, know your place you are a golfer not a Yale graduate with 40 years of experience dealing with high stakes investing and business management. The Saudi’s have their backs up and will now crush the PGA … which is a shame.
The PGA did this to themselves… the minute they came out and said that tour members would have an equity stake in the tour, it was done. They had already publicly announced that they were running out of sponsors to keep up with LIV’s purses. Any equity stake for the players, means paying/contributing to their own purses to cover losses. Rory resigned as president, literally the next day. The guys on tour can talk to the NHL players about their CBA Escrow payments. I wonder how many of the LIV guys have part of their wages set aside in escrow? Zero.
Plus and minus! You not strong at that! What I see its 6 to 4 😉
MONEY Talks!!!!!
People in the US who are PGA advocated are all claiming that the best players play there because of the prestige and history blah blah blah……. what a load of bollix that is!!!!! It's always been about the money. Otherwise the pros would be playing in Europe or Japan or Australia and not have tried to make it to the money tour!!!!!
The PGA are just getting what they deserved after years of monotonous tournaments predominately played in one country. I just wish I could watch LIV golf, but I can’t, it’s even worse than the Shriners Hospital for Uninsured Farmers tripe! If one good thing comes of this I hope it’s that the USPGA loses ‘major’ status and the fourth major becomes a global tournament held in the southern hemisphere in September.
With their Eyes seemingly closed to what’s going on in the world. Having No scruples and Greed, greed, greed. Not good for professional golf. It will all end up in tears as more and more life long fans like me stop watching and going to events. It hurts when those you once rated highly turn out to be just money worshipers.
Pga turning into the minor league.
LIV is a better product
Lets be serious, there is little the PGA can do if LIV are willing to spend stupid money to tempt players. The PGA do not have the money to make counter offers, where could they get $300m to keep Jon Rahm?
LIV have unlimited money and the Saudi's probably do not care if they never make a profit. LIV have not built anything, this is the Saudi royals plaything.
Again…..not enough for me to turn on The CW channel…..
Need a PGA vs LIV event
Always laugh when Americans are "outraged" of players going to LIV because of Saudi human rights issues. The US are the greatest human rights abusers in history in their country and abroad. And still the only country to commit mass.murder with a nuke and somehow not end up in front of a War Crimes court.
Players are starting to look stupid for not going to LIV Golf. It's easy money and you can always justify it by saying, "It's what's best for me and my family." Good luck trying to compete with that PGA Tour.
That's actual 6 LIV, 4PGA
At the end of the day Players are looking at the huge fees being offered and basically thinking, hey this is just too good to turn down, its a simple case of “CASH IS KING” 💰💰💰
Forget about the silly LIV format which is nonsense, its all about the MONEY!
The real problem is Rahm and others saying a completely different thing one year ago about LIV and the PGA Tour. I know people change their minds but damn. LIV need to have 8 events set on non big PGA Tour events and the PGA Tour should require LIV players to play in at least 10 PGA Tour events plus if they are qualified for the majors. However they get no WR points for LIV events and they are not eligible for the Players.
Neither are major winners so not on a par with the loss of Rahm. Hatton would be missed for the 2025 Ryder Cup Rory will fight for him to play, Finau earned around £5 million last season, so will definitely benefit signing to LIV. Let wait and see how much money they are offered and whether money is more important then majors.
Rahm admitted hes still not even a fan of the current format of Liv and STILL moved to Liv……. either they are about to make some format changes or hes happy to compromise for the cash
We certainly know another player is going to LIV because they're holding a team captain spot available.
PgAT board has acted in the interest of itself and not the players. At least that's how it appears to me. Yet the players for the most part, are on the outside. So why should the stay.
I never watched a PGA event because of any of the LIV players on this list were in the event so I sure won’t watch a LIV tournament because of them. I not interested in watching WWE style golf! Sadly, PGA was the only professional sport not driven by player greed but now with LIV it’s no different than NBA,NFL,MLB where players are guaranteed large contracts just for showing up! Greg Norman and the Saudi’s exist under the same rock!
What about Quail Hollow and Wells Fargo pulling out. This is a signature event. I wonder now if actual tournaments will jump to live. After all it's about the charities and them making money for the kiddos.
Everything about Liv is better. You can tell by the announcers who are clearly allowed to say whatever they want and don’t have to stick to the same script like every announcer in every other sport does. It’s nice being able to watch something that isn’t owned by the same few corrupt companies that don’t care at all about the sport.
Call me whatever You want ! Iam a Patriot 🇺🇸!! I will Never Go for an event funded by Blood money !! Family and Country FIRST ! And I own Two G5 and 11 airplanes ✈️ more for charters (don’t fly Saudi ) Foreeeeeee!! 💪🏼💪🏼⛳️⛳️
Money talks. Bullshit walks.
LIV is trying to gut the PGA tour ranks. They have the $$$ to do it. The players can and will take the payout from those filthy sandrats but never respect them. Sometime in the next 5-10 years the PGA tour will collapse or evolve. The LIV tour golfers will join the new PGA tour and the sandrats will be left at the alter wondering wth just happened.
Not surprised I love your insights 😮
I wouldn’t say these are two guys the pga tour needs so thank you for the bs headline. It doesn’t matter who goes where anymore after 24 it’s all the same guys can play wherever they want so who cares. At the end of the day let guys who want or in finua’s case need money go to liv the pga tour will be just fine.
well the PLAYERS KNOW THE PGA IS NOT THE BEST AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LOAD OF CROOKS SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO GO TO LIV
Who cares dude let them go to LIV there are plenty of great pga golfers on the rise worth watching
LIV is the death of pro golf
Can you even count or you just dont want to see the numbers?
I love that LIV is taking all the player I hate to watch. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ !
Meh.
I've never watched LIV and I haven't watched the PGA since they took Saudi money.
golf is balata, persimmon, tradition. all this money, greed, instafamous crap, has no business in the sport and golf is continually being ruined by all of this. as a 25 year club professional, the sport i love is less and less recognizable and it’s such a shame. not all change is good and i was really hoping that golf would always stay above the fray, but sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case. hogan, snead, nelson, jones, spinnin’ in their graves. smfh.
LIV is just what the Kardashians are. No class, tacky, for low class fans…
The problem with ALL of this is both the Saudi's and the PGA over-valuing the product. The ratings just don't justify ANY of this type of money. Even before LIV came into existence it was teetering with being unsustainable. Obviously the Saudi's don't care because this is part of their mission to cleanse their human rights reputation and deflect from their current human rights violations and they're sitting on 30+ trillion in oil so they'll spend whatever. PGA already losing sponsors. The big lesson here, kids? Money ALWAYS wins. Shocking, I know.
