Par4QC pulled out of our tourney yesterday.

I think anybody who WD's from any tourney is automatically on the rumour list of defectors.

Yes, Stenson is Ryder Captain and will lose it if he defects.

I have no idea how Saudi math works.
😉

    Par4QC Stenson

    Maybe he has dual citizenship 🤔😂

      Par4QC whilst shitting on their own members.

      Including 10 more "carrots" to lead the donkeys, unless I am reading that wrong.
      I expected no less, btw, since the beginning.
      😉

          Spuzz Bringing over the top 10 from Europe, automatic PGA cards. That means there will be 10 less keeping their cards this season on The PGA. And, 10 that won't make it in from college/Korn Ferry Tour, next season. It really does have quite the domino effect.

          But JT and Rory are happy, I'd bet. Eliminates the possibility of 10 up & coming TWs to beat them.

          And, to be sure, those LIV players can now consider themselves banned in Europe, with this agreement. Strings attached, for DP Tour agreement, no doubt.

              IMO, not a good decision to get in bed with the pretty whore for a small "piece", lest you catch something, and maybe wake up with your wallet gone.

                Saudi Arabia signs $133m deal with DP World to create region's largest logistics hub at Jeddah port...The European Tour better look out - The Saudi's may end up being their owner if they sink their teeth into DP World any further...

                garyt1957 We don't care about the DP Tour, and I never said it helped them. It only helps the PGA Tour. (maybe).
                My real point is that the PGA just screwed over at min. 10 of their own players, while threatening to ban them if they play elsewhere.

                I'm not even sure those top 10 guys, all of them, will even come here to play.

                What happens when the bottom 10 on the PGA list has made more money than those 10 getting the 'free ride', but they have to go through Q school????

                    Being it is the PGJAY, I'm not sure what he's saying, about those 10. It now shows 'in addition to' those already exempt. Exempt from what/where/from what/from where???? At any rate, 10 wannabes from Q school are going to be shorted. imo. They only give so many cards total, unless they are changing the whole system of doing things.

                    Par4QC Nah, I wasn't saying you said it helped them, I was simply asking what's in it for the DP Tour?

                        garyt1957 $$$$$, as it turned out. Huge influx of cash from the PGA, starting next season.
                        Bribery only comes in 1 form, I guess. Cashola!

                        This must be the mediation Steve had today. 🤣
                        But, we don't have any clue as to what the DP Tour agreed to give.

                          I take no issue with it, this was bound to happen.....and I'd expect those ten would still play all the big events on the DP. 10 spots open up for up and comers on the DP. Lots of cash to be made on the KF Tour, DP, etc. If the few guys that get shut out because of this don't like it they can always make a shitload of money on the KF or DP. If they feel slighted by the PGA they have that other option.

                          I like to see the Euros come over and vice versa. TW always did this and it was fun to see him in those events (less him acting like a jackass) and it really helped those events. The ones I really like are the British Masters and the Australian Open. I think both end at the big courses The Old Course and Royal Melbourne but also include other courses the first two rounds.....I just don't know if other tour players qualify or if they need a special invite/exemption?

                          It’s eye-opening (or should be?) what a tiny bit of competition has already brought about. I can’t imagine the monkey wrench that would be thrown into the PGA’s workings (and their reaction/concessions) if there was REAL competition.

                          azgreg If this is true, I don't know what to think about PXG.

                          Gary Player is, from all I've seen, their main spokesperson. His bag has the Saudi logo on it, above the PXG branding!!

                          So, let's assume this is blown out of proportions, in order to sully the LIV Tour(again), and in reality, Reed is actually the one that made a change, and dropped PXG.
