So, aside from BDC, who's going to the Saudi League? A lot of chatter on this subject recently...

KCee

Eguller Why do LIV player give a crap about so called Majors when it is all about the $$$$$$$ ?

The Majors pay a LOT too! And winning those may get them back some endorsement money.

Counterpoint.... What does the most lucrative major pay ? Not $4M like the 1st LIV paid and you have to
play your ass off against strong fields - too much work. Endorsements ? Too hot to handle now....
Take the $$$$ and go have fun.

Eguller you have to
play your ass off against strong fields

Last I read is that LIV has 12 that 'were' in the top 50. Out of 48 players. And they have won A LOT of those 'strong field' Majors!
🤔 And no Amateurs to weaken the fields.
Not 'just anyone' can play LIV. No special exemptions.

Eguller Before LIV, the Majors also gave the winner a 5 yr exemption on PGA Tour, doesn't take much for their game to drop, and a 5-year free pass is handy.

Must be Spuzzer's Canadian air I'm breathing now - but...

38 of the top 50 are non LIV players. Not everyone gets in the Majors and almost everyone wants to play
in them, well.....with a couple of exceptions like the late Bruce L.. 😉

Par4QC 12 that 'were' in the top 50. Out of 48 players

Let's be honest....the 12 and the 38 all got their ranking from watered down fields. And from limited fields, sometimes. Both which is BS. I'll not mention the sometimes 'revolving' changes in the OWGR for qualifications. Gonna have them?....set them in stone. Forever.

Was Jack ever ranked #1? No. Did he need it? Not on your life! 😉

Par4QC Golf Rankings didn't start until 1986, so it was kind of after Nicklaus career. Also I believe he never won the Verdon, not that his scores weren't good enough, he didn't play enough rounds.

I think the rankings might be in for an overhaul in the next 5 years. jmo

And it will STILL be boring-meaningless golf, just leave it on Utube!😴

Rory has turned into a giant wishy washy puss puss.
Here's his sign:

Bullshit. It's good for BOTH sides, not "ripping golf apart". Competition is good, keeps both sides on their A game. LIV got the PGA Tour to wake the fuck up and some people are enjoying watching both tours. Just shut up, Rory.

johnnydoom

Spuzz Maybe Rory's going to be like Sanjuro in Yojimbo or Joe in A Fistful of Dollars. He'll make tons of money off both sides before it's over. Except he'll keep it all.

johnnydoom

The PGA Tour will need to give up the fight at some time, or hope the Saudi investment firm decides it doesn't like the numbers. The tour sponsors aren't going to be able to keep kicking in more money to compete with the investment fund, particularly now that the pandemic golf boom seems to be over and we're technically in recession in the states. The only other chance, and it is a realistic one in this day and age, is for the tour to get the feds to kick in some prop up money like the banks and car companies do, but I doubt that their collective political donations exceed that of their competitors 😃.

Remember, the PGA is a charity. Gubment should not be giving any money to just 1.

johnnydoom

Par4QC Should not. But that doesn't seem to stop them from finding a way if it brings in more political contributions.

Par4QC

sdandrea1 Yeah, maybe it might wake everyone/everything up. People are so against LIV because of where the money comes from. Yet, they only look at the 'surface' money of the PGA. But, who's to say a country cannot undergo a radical change, through sports/due to sports?

Maybe you'll 'get the call' to sit at the table. 😲👍

Spuzz

sdandrea1 Just shut up, Rory.

I used to feel bad for Miss Wozniacki, but now I don't.
