Sneakylong Their country resides on a giant gas station. Lol

I know about the oil thing. 😂
I'm wondering if they're expecting an ROI on all this cash they're dolling out to these players. Big TV contracts? Other sponsors? Or are they just ho-ing away money on golf like me?

      Image enhancement. AKA the ‘S’ word ending in washing. Lol They’re not in it for the money. They make a billion dollars a day.

          Take it you didn’t see JT Poston’s 62? Lol Plus there’s a nice little tournament in Ireland this weekend. ⛳️

              Watching the Portland telecast on YouTube. No ads. Enjoyable you have to wrap your head around shotgun start and team concept. I kinda like it I can see where the under 30 crowd likes LIV. I like Jerry Foltz's commentary and had missed him on TGC. Doesn't seem like many fans in attendance Thursday afternoon.

                Looks like the video owners doesn’t want anyone to see it on other platforms. 😏

                    Sneakylong Looks like the video owners doesn’t want anyone to see it on another platform.

                    Yep you can still follow it to YouTube. I see the same on this site from various owners of YouTube channels.

                        Sneakylong Nope, doesn’t work. Not that I’m interested anyway.

                        Works for me. Click on Watch on YouTube for those that are interested,

                          garyt1957 I don't care about it either. I can't imagine ever watching it, but I don't really watch PGA Golf either. I just get a kick out of the faux outrage by the moralists who in my opinion are just jealous that they can't cash in, all while doing business with some even worse regimes.
                          I'm sure there's a few sincere people like Sneaky who really believe what they spout, but I'm betting 95% would immediately take a job with a Saudi company if it simply doubled their salary

                          Amen

                            sdandrea1 What do the Saudi sponsors get out of this venture? They didn't get obnoxiously wealthy on bad investments.

                            Don't you know? Everybody will be fooled and suddenly believe that they are upstanding world citizens and the best people on earth. Pay attention.

                            It should start happening any minute now

                                LIV Golf players in the 2023 Ryder Cup? U.S. captain Zach Johnson says the dots don't connect for that to happen

                                U.S. captain Zach Johnson isn’t counting on using players who have joined LIV Golf when next year’s Ryder Cup begins in Italy. They won’t be there.

                                “In order to play on the Ryder Cup team whether you’re top 6 or a pick, you must garner Ryder Cup points through the PGA of America,” Johnson said. “In order to garner Ryder Cup points through the PGA of America, you have to be a member of the PGA of America. The way that we’re members of the PGA of America is through the PGA Tour."

                                “I’ll let you connect the dots from there.”

                                rsvman2 Is it not possible for two things to be interesting?

                                Sure. For example I'm interested in both the John Deere Classic and the Irish Open this weekend. 😉

                                  Glad to see that the Saudi's involvement in global sporting events in an effort to present Saudi Arabia as a newly business-friendly, forward-thinking nation to takeaway the focus on it's human rights issues isn't working for you.

                                  Isn't working for me either.

                                    Do the fellas that have been suspended by the PGA also hold DP World Tour cards, DJ, PM, et all? How does that work, having dual membership? I see they were not fined by DP, as were the ones from Europe.

                                    DP World’s Pelley just released a statement r that basically said Bye Bye Boys - you knew and still made your choice.

                                      Eguller you knew and still made your choice

                                      The lawsuit will continue, imo, as it was always going to end up in the courts, given the antagonistic stance taken by both Tours. The letter was the players' version of "you knew and had a choice", so cya in court.
