I wasn’t happy about Biden meeting with MBS, but they made a decision to try and get gas prices down.😏 I’m watching a hell of a PGA Tour tournament with a nice tight ‘real competition’ leader board. Lol. Tony Finau is on a hot streak.

Enjoy the Exhibition Tour. 😉

    I’ll take a diluted league over the mostly HB (has been) Tour. Lol

    The Boobster said he and his wife prayed and when his son got all excited about seeing the teams etc. with LIV, then he knew he’d made the right decision.

    No mention of the supposed $50 million as a deciding factor.😏

      And there’s a chance they’ll never have a chance to get anymore. Lol. Maybe in place of Majors and the Fed Ex Cup they can play for the MBS Cup.🙄

        Sneakylong There’s also a chance the PGA Tour will cease to exist as a major tour if sponsors won’t compete with Saudi PIF.

          I doubt you’ll see sponsors lining up to support LIV. To much bad publicity risk. But the Saudi’s can self sponsor. Maybe they can show some tourism adds. Lol

            Sneakylong They don’t need to support LIV. But, if they want exposure for their products on the PGA Tour, they better put up more money. It’ll cost more, and less people will be watching or caring.

              Only if LIV can get off YouTube and on a more widely shown network. There’s a reason they don’t have one. No one wants to go out on a limb as of yet.

              Right now it’s like 60,000 - 80,000 compared to over 2 million viewers.lol. If I’m a company I know who I’m advertising with.😉

                Sneakylong If I’m a company I know who I’m advertising with.😉

                Let me guess….. is it the one that didn’t try to destroy your country and way of life ? 🤔

                Sneakylong If I’m a company

                If you’re a publicly traded company, it’s likely that PIF owns a piece of you. We’ll just have to wait and see about the TV.

                  Sneakylong I would be curious to know what the real interest is … what those viewership numbers might be if they were both on Network TV. I don’t think their lack of a TV deal is due to anything more than that all Networks that WANT to carry golf, are already in bed with the PGA. Why would they want to help water down their own product? Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t think of a Network chomping to become a player in televising pro golf.

                    The Saudi Fund may own a price of me indirectly, but they can still go f@&k themselves. Lol. Yes we will see if and when a network of some scale jumps in bed with the Saudi’s.

                    johnnydoom We’ll just have to wait and see about the TV.

                    Working well here.
                    Much better than listening to the PGA talking heads kissing Finau's ass all day long.

                      Stu1961

                      Yeah, I agree. None of the Major networks will jump ship. It’ll have to be some other broadcaster. I was thinking Sky, but they broadcast some the Majors and some of the DP World Tour I believe.

                      Spuzz lol....actually looking forward to the Jr. US Am .... Doesn't hurt it's at Brandon! To bad only 2 hours of coverage!

                      darpar

                      They were doing some USGA stuff. I heard they had talks with LIV, but nothing came of it. Fox fired Greg Norman before from their broadcast team. Lol

                      The Saudi’s could spend some of that $600 billion and start their own network. Lol
