" for those who say they want to play both LIV and the PGA Tour"

Who are they?
Haven't heard one ex PGA player say they want to play both. I think they left knowing that was it for the PGA
Only see DP guys that want to play "their" tour (hence the lawsuits), since they helped make it more known.

Horschel is outspoken and that's ok by me, but he isn't telling the whole story either, and is making assumptions.
15 PGA events (plus mandatory Pro Ams and Sponsor Events like RBC and also playing events they avoided in the past) and that's IF you did well enough to keep your card, and/or make it to the big money Fedex show.
How many guys have won the Fedex Cup playing the minimum number of events?
I will guess ZERO unless Tiger did it.

14 LIV events and 4? DP World Events (required) and play where and when you want after that makes that tour sound much better.

I watched that JP McManus Pro-Am tourney the past couple days. Players from all tours, inc. LIV were there. The golf, in itself, was 'pro-am' caliber.
But the people.....40,000 watching, and it was (typical) Irish weather, and they did not give 1 damn who played what tour.

Who cares who is playing where....except the PGA?

    Spuzz Do I research into the morals of every dollar I’ve ever made? No, I don’t.

    If he did, he never would have joined the PGA Tour. No one would, in that case.

      This makes me laugh, especially hearing from underachiever Fred Couples not being friends with FGJAM anymore, and Rory and Sergio the same thing, based solely on their "friend" leaving the PGA Tour.

        Sneakylong He makes a point about the schedule, but I have to cancel him because his RLX hoodie is likely from China lol Maybe we need tour vs tour for their own money like us schmoes do on the weekend? I always knew watching golf with the sound off was the right way to go.

            KCee but I have to cancel him because his RLX hoodie is likely from China lol

            🙂 Velocity Global (on his hat) lists Saudi Arabia as one of the 185 countries they'll be happy to help you hire for and build a business team in.

              More from Freddie. The sustainability question is interesting. The Saudi’s can well afford to throw $500 million a year away on golf. But will they?

                LMAO
                Now Rory is doing an about face and joining Martin Kaymer in sayin there needs to be peace talks between LIV and the PGA, after all the name calling and blah blah blah he initiated.
                What a doofus.

                I have no problem with the players of any sport getting as much as they can. Certainly wasn't always that way. The NCAA for years wouldn't allow a player to have anyone buy them a coke and now with the NIL's in college football it's completely flipped in the players direction.

                And given how much money college football brings into the colleges every year the players now getting a cut doesn't seem to be out of line. Although it flipped big time. And now at least little Nicky Saban won't get the best recruits every year. lol Amateur athletes got screwed for a long time.

                The NBA seems to be the most players friendly league out of all the professional sports. They have the most say of any of the leagues anyway. So again, I'm all about players getting as much as they can. No issue there with me.

                The source of the money? Now that's a different story.

                    Sneakylong In your dreams Saban won't get the best recruits. Alabama has rabid fans and they have a lot of rabid fans who are wealthy businessmen.
                    Some of the lesser schools may have a well of money, too, and may get a few if the biggest names, but don't undersell the ability of a school like Alabama to do whatever it takes to keep themselves in the limelight.

                        Sneakylong. Sure they will, it's changing public opinion of them. I just saw them listed as the #7 country for female entrepreneurs and # 5 for LGBT couples to buy a home. It's working! It's working !
                        Not taking a shot at you personally, just the ridiculous idea that sports washing works

                            Par4QC It's all about the money. You don't seem to understand rich people and think of it as if you yourself had a couple million you'd be happy. These people can spend a million us on taxes, multiple home upkeep, private planes, etc. Not including the cost of said multiple homes, etc. Mike Tyson used to pay $250K a year just to feed his pet tigers. He went broke. They need more money if they hope to keep up that lifestyle.

                                Damn, when you put it that way, they should probably be subsidized in some kind of way. Now I feel bad for them.🙄

                                    Mattyv. My point is, Par always says they have more money then they'll ever use, but sports careers don't last forever and if they want to keep up that lifestyle for the rest of their lives they'll need more money. Now some of them probably live below their means and might not need anymore but some certainly will

                                        Egomaniac meets compulsive gambler. The egomaniac has an axe to grind and the compulsive gambler has squandered his wealth wagering on slow horses and fast businessmen. I can almost hear Norman saying to the Saudis fronting the cash, "If we can just get Mickelson, I think we can get others."

                                        Phil is desperate for cash. I'll not be convinced otherwise. No man who is financially set for life with generational wealth compromises everything that Phil has put on the trading block.

                                        Finchem destroyed Norman's dream back in '94. Some 28 years later, Norman is wanting to destroy Finchem's legacy.

                                        The Saudis, essentially, are just wealthy pawns.
