Don't know if many more will leave, but the temptation has to be enormous with the up front money and larger purses. Sponsor deals come and go, particularly in these cancel culture days where you can say something that was acceptable yesterday and it will get you dropped in an instant today. No need to travel here and there just to represent the sponsors and no need to worry about who's recording your conversations to use for blackmail, outrage, or click bait. It all sounds too good to be true, and it probably would be if it wasn't for the heavy front money.

    johnnydoom but the temptation has to be enormous with the up front money and larger purses.

    Temptation is only there, if offered.

    If they were really looking to disrupt the PGA, all members would be getting offers. Not just some.

      Sneakylong wow, that's like 7 majors right there. And Morikawa is a rising star. Surprised as he seems a traditionalist.
      Despite my support for guys that go, if I were a legitimate major winner and future contender I'd stay with the PGA.

        If that is true, sounds like FIGJAM got in (paid$$$$$$$$$) while the gettin' was good!

            Charles Barkley on PGA Tour players taking LIV Golf money: ā€˜If somebody gave me $200 million Iā€™d kill a relativeā€™

            ā€œI donā€™t judge other people. Listen, if somebody gave me $200 million Iā€™d kill a relative,ā€ Barkley joked before doubling down. ā€œIā€™m serious. Theyā€™re saying Phil Mickelson got $200 million, Dustin Johnson got $150 million, for $150 million Iā€™d kill a relative, even one I like.ā€

              Just a thoughtā€¦What if the Saudiā€™s just purchase the DP European Tour and open their arms to PGA tour members??? Do you think that would cause the PGA Tour to reconsider their sanctions on players playing LIV events???

                Iā€™d look for more than a close alliance between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour in the near term. JMO

                Now the network uses Tirico as their spokesman in the negative ad campaign against the LIV.
                Good grief, stick to golf, idjits. Not helping your look at all.

                  Spuzz šŸ¤£ You thought the network was not going to get all political.......funny man.
                  And it matters not Tirico's thoughts about the situation. He will say what he is told to say. (btw, can't stand that man)

                      Par4QC You thought the network was not going to get all political.

                      No, I expected it and I expect the puppet master to continue his Howdy Doody ways.

                      Just stating it's a bad look and "nobody wins" (advice of their own that they should take)
                      :/
                      Edit:
                      I will now add I hope the US Open winner, when prompted post round interview with "what's next for you?" looks right into the camera and says "I'm gonna start LIV....ing now" or something similar.

                          Spuzz A lot of talk about how the LIV guys were going to be a distraction to the beloved U.S. Open, and who has been doing all the 'distracting'?

                              Interesting, but PGA Tour reaction would probably be same as they have done to Trump owned coursesā€¦Not play thereā€¦Plus, I doubt they could get a majority of members at the private clubs that hold the Tournaments to agree to sell out to the Saudiā€™sā€¦

                                  and this is precisely why I added to my last post.
                                  As I stated before, no reason to pick a side, but the PGA execs and their minions are making it difficult not to..

                                  It tells me that there is a lot more to the supposed "rumours" and the floodgates are opening.
                                  The DP Tour allowing LIV players into the German Open may be another indication there is no point in putting sanctions and suspensions on the players. They may end up with "weak fields" every week, instead of playing "against the best".
                                  Just a Spuzzmusing or two.
