ahhh, so you can be cut..........and keep the money.
Super League Predictions
I’m not sure how to read that….. we’re they booted off LIV or didn’t make the cut for the next LIV event ? One thing for sure, I wouldn’t hire that writer.

Yes, just the facts ma'am!
It does answer the question everyone has been asking, about how they keep signing players when their roster is only supposed to be 48. Hopefully, Phil is next. Horrible play so far.
I think I was cut before asked to sign. Rotten bastages. Now I know.
The Korn Ferry Tour is owned and operated by the PGA Tour.
PA-PLAYA So when this LIV thing dies in a few years, Norman will do what he's always done. He'll take all the credit for the added purses on the Tour.
But won't he deserve that credit? It's not like the PGA Tour is doing all this out of the kindness of their hearts. PGA players should erect a statue of Norman
Sneakylong So then, any time they want to play an 'easier' field of golfers, they can just enter a KF tournament? I. Don't. Think so.
Eguller At almost 52, Phil is irrelevant in golf now, outside of Champions Tour, and they didn't have enough purse money to even tempt him. Without LIV, he would have only played their Majors, no doubt. Good riddance, for my viewing pleasures.
The Generals/coaches/etc. typically get full credit for wins/losses. Soldiers/players/etc. are always 2nd. (that would be with 'higher ups' vs. public, to be clear)
"Smith and Leish had said they still wanna play."
Dash it all! Now they have to tell their sponsors (who are the only ones, besides jingoistic fans spurred on by sponsors, that really care if they play the Cup(s)) that it's not their fault. After all, they still want to play.

Not sure if they're eligible to play for a much bigger purse on the PGA Tour they'd want to skip that tournament and play for much less money.
Par4QC Hands were forced by just 1 person, not by 'goodness of hearts'.
I think you have to follow the money trail, and that only leads to one person MbS.
Norman probably doesn't have one dime of his own skin in this game, he's just their figurehead/puppet.
When all the new dust has cleared, I bet it comes out the Saudi's FIRST approached Norman and NOT the
other way around like some may believe. JMO
Eguller Some would say PhillyMick was the instigator
He's been at Monahan for years, and got nowhere, but he does deserve some credit.
His lack of results is likely why the defection to LIV was larger than expected.
Disgruntled employees were not heard. The PGA has themselves to blame, in spite of the finger pointing by them.
Par4QC Yes, just the facts ma'am!
This article is clearer, I think:

Spuzz Andy Ogletree. Hopefully he got paid some 'real' money up front to join LIV, so he can now chase qualifiers, IF Monahan sees things as he should. He was never a member of the PGA (??), never passed through a Q in order to play in any tournament. If it doesn't go his way in discussions, he'll either be staying/playing in Europe, or quit altogether, which he was already thinking about.
He said that he did not choose a LIV Golf event over a conflicting PGA Tour event. "I didn't like that I was grouped into this category of these guys that kind of rebelled against the Tour or chose a different path. I didn't choose a different path, I just chose to play in a golf tournament."
Very true, and if anyone could win a lawsuit, I'd think this is the guy. If it comes to that, which imo, should not. But, I only worked for Holiday Inn 23 years.
