Fuck the pga.
Whatever happened to making the saudis the “ pariah state” they are.
I’ll be impressed if we somehow block this.
I'm not getting at anything aside from asking for your source. Not crazy in this day and age.Quote:

Was FIFA in Qatar a flop? I didn't watch as much as I usually do but I still watched the knockout rounds. I guess I took the money too. My golf vibe had already been fading this century, but odds of me regaining interest anytime soon just plummeted.
Someone please explain to me how the tour gofers can be against SA blood money and yet troop on down en masse to MAL to play rounds with trump?
As always, the Wu nailed it first.Quote:

Would it be any different if it were NASCAR? At this point I seriously doubt it.
So pga events will now have liv players participate? Right now, only the same 5 guys....or some unknown wins a pga event. It'll make it more watchable.
You all throw around “Saudi blood money” like its a fact. Everything I see says Saudi citizens were involved, but no connections to the Saudi government have been proven. Educate me if I’m mistaken.
Ps-I guess Brandle Chamblee will be resigning from the Golf channel now
^^ Give me a fucking break.
They cancelled the tournament at Trump's course... which is why there's one in mexico city now.Quote:

From nbc news:
The document, which is heavily redacted, provides a summary of an FBI interview in 2015 with a man who had regular contact with Saudi nationals in the U.S. The man aided Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, the first hijackers to arrive in the U.S., once they arrived in the country.
It details contacts the hijackers had with Saudi associates in the U.S. It does not provide evidence that senior Saudi government officials were complicit in the attacks.
The 9/11 Commission report did not find evidence that Saudi leaders were complicit in the attacks, but it did say Saudi nationals played key roles in funding Al Qaeda.
Are we talking about their involvement with 9/11 or their general human rights record or the killing of kashoggi?
There are really only 4 men’s professional golf tournaments that aren’t just glorified corporate commercials.

To you that's is true but there is a whole big world out there away from your keyboard.
I wonder how much money Monahan got pushed into his bank account under the table to seal the deal?
$40 Million Dollar Smile is my guess.

I’m talking about 9/11.Quote:

Rory is going to talk to the media later this morning - should be interesting.
I was pondering whether the PGA is opening themselves up to individual lawsuits from players who turned down big LIV money offers.
John Feinstein, author of Feherty, was on the radio this morning and said that is absolutely something the Tour should expect from players like Morikowa, Ricky, Zalatoris et al that had offers to jump but were persuaded not to by the Tour.Quote:

I have a hard time believing that since liv, pga and dp are now merged, they will somehow keep the current liv guys out, or make it hard for them to come back, which the talking heads on golf channel are saying
Rory's press conference Q&A here:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/golf/202...f-merger-live/
Some interesting responses:
"McIlroy: 'I still hate LIV'
It’s hard for me not to sit up here and feel somewhat like a sacrificial lamb. I still hate LIV, I hate them. I hope it goes away and I fully expect that it does.
This is the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the PIF.
All I’ve tried to do is protect what the PGA Tour stands for and I think you will see that going forward."
"Should golfers who turned down LIV money be reimbursed?
The simple answer is yes. The complex answer is how does that happen."
"McIlroy says he has confidence in Jay Monahan
I do. I’ve dealt with Jay a lot closer than a lot of guys have. From where we were a couple of weeks ago to where we are today, the future of the PGA Tour looks brighter.
What that looks like for individual players in terms of keeping a Tour card, and certain players coming back into the fold at the expense of the others, that’s where the anger comes from.
We can’t just let these guys back in and pretend like nothing has happened. These guys irreparably damaged the PGA Tour and started litigation against us. They’re not just coming straight back in, that’s what Jay was trying to get across yesterday."
So women couldn't vote in SA until 2015, and couldn't drive a car until 2018. You're an idiotQuote:

Resign or retire with all that Saudi money sitting offshore somewhere?
Buy out + SA blood money in an offshore account = winQuote:

He'll always look back fondly on the time he defended those precious values, right up till he didn't. I hope he finds a way to comfort himself.Quote:

I'd guess at least ten times that. What would it have cost to convince Tiger to play? More than that to force Tiger (and everyone else) to play or retire..Quote:
