The PGA Tour Policy Board is meeting with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, the backer of LIV Golf, today.

azgreg Truth be told, he's not even a 'drawing card' on the PGA at present, with the way he's playing.
Seems to be more hype, about him not the tourney, when he is in a field than he gets from scoring. He's a top 10 for now, only until the newbies get legs under them.

Yeah, don't like him and hope he gets his contract. Good riddance.

    Would be a big draw in Europe and rest of the world...He must really be pissed at Monahan - first he quits the Tour Policy Board in mid-term, then changes his attitude toward the LIV players and now this...

    Heard on PGA Tour Radio (Dennis Paulson, Inside The Ropes) yesterday that Phil Mickelson supposedly got a large fee for getting Jon Rahm to sign with LIV.

    Par4QC Yeah, don't like him and hope he gets his contract. Good riddance

    His transition to LIV would be much easier to swallow if he hadn't run his fucking mouth against it so much. What a douche-nozzle. Bye Rory.

    I think the Saudis are just jacking the PGA Tour around for fun. They have money to burn, so why not get some entertainment out of it.

      sdandrea1 That also.

      Just seems like every time he's in a tournament, the announcers feel the need to build hype...he's always going to win them. He's been in some low grade tourneys and never sniffed a win. They need to realize he has passed his peak. Maybe too early, but imo, he has passed it. 'Just another good golfer'. Might still win some, might not, but will hang around closely. Some times.šŸ˜‰

        $850 million would be very difficult to turn down - even for someone estimated to already be worth over 250 million. That said, I find it really odd that thereā€™s no direct or credible source corroborating this story . Iā€™ll not even acknowledge, much less believe, it until there is.

          Par4QC while he is good, I'm inclined to agree, past his peak. He'll be able to keep making money playing, he's still good enough to get that done.
          Although, when the next batch of kids comes up and starts giving everyone a run for the money, rory might not be able to keep making as much...

          So much for that rumor. šŸ™„

          ā€œFor the rest of my careerā€™: Rory McIlroy reiterates stance amid LIV Golf rumor.ā€

          ā€œI honestly donā€™t know how these things get started,ā€ McIlroy told Lewis. ā€œIā€™ve never been offered a number from LIV, and Iā€™ve never contemplated going to LIV. Again, I think Iā€™ve made it clear over the past two years that I donā€™t think itā€™s something for me.

          Doesnā€™t mean I judge people that have went and played over there. I think one of the things that I have realized over the past two years is that people can make their own decisions for whatever they think is best for themselves, and who are we to judge them for that. But personally for me, my future is here on the PGA Tour, and itā€™s never been any different.ā€

            Sneakylong So much for that rumor. šŸ™„

            He could still turn about face for the $, but he'd have to disappear for the rest of his career. šŸ¤£

              Looks like Adelaide built a stadium around the 12th hole to mimic what they do in Phoenix.

                They did that last year and were ridiculed for being wannabes.
                lol
                However, I think they were more civilized than the goons in Phoenix.

                  Spuzz and were ridiculed for being wannabes.

                  I think itā€™s a great idea for any pro event that has a par 3 that allows for it. Hats off to Phoenix for making it a big thing.

                  Most of humanity is more civilized than those yahoos........
