sdandrea1 Maybe they're just trying to bust up the PGA monopoly on competitive pro golf? That would open the door to move about in the scene as desired.......IF their LIV agreements allow.
Greg Norman is just doing what he wanted to do 30 years ago, but failed to do. Which is his 'Stars' Tour. Now he has a backer with deep pockets.
I'd bet dollars to donuts that these contracts require them to play all of the LIV events. But don't prevent them from playing elsewhere if there is no LIV exhibition going on that week.
LIV is the usurper here. The PGA Tour doesn't want to give any ground to a competitor that they cannot financially compete with. LIV wasn't part of the lawsuit. LIV has no claim of harm imo.
They're getting players and having their events. It's the players that wanted their cake and eat it too and tried unsuccessfully to claim they were being harmed by being suspended by the PGA Tour.
Reading the tea leaves the PGA Tour may have to make some minor adjustments. But both the PGA Tour and LIV have contractional obligations that the player agrees to by being a member.
I wonder who will be the first LIV player to say 'I don't want to travel all around the world playing in all the required LIV events'. What will their punishment be for violating their agreements?
