I suggest you read the criteria for the PIP award amount. 

All that money spent and Brooks and DJ and Rahm and Bryson and Phil still left

[BirdieBob]

Will be very interesting to see who Rohm gets on his team.

Any guesses?

Jason Dufner, Nick Watney & Briny Baird

Sorry to hear that Rahm left for LIV. Team Europe is really going to suffer at 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage.

This video is so hilarious, how can he say this stuff with a straight face LOL

Max Homa remains the undefeated twitter king.

The innovation and vision lolololololol. They have nearly no sponsors and media audience. The only people who think there is any vision and innovation are paid directly by LIV.

$450Million+ can make people say the funniest things.  😁

The LIV schedule for 2024 starts in Mexico in Feb, so there should be some names coming soon.

You didn't know that 54-hole tournaments, team golf, shorts and loud music were innovations and visionary ?

Id guess if one of the Spanish guys wins that LIV promotion battle, maybe Paul Casey gets traded since he is an ASU alum

He said he wouldn’t leave for $400 million, but $450 YES

What a bunch of crap. Just say you did it for the money. You insult everyone's intelligence with all the LIV propaganda.

Going with I don’t care, I don’t care and let me see… I don’t care.

That extra $50MM was the difference between living care free and living even more care free 😊

Rory says Rahm will be on the Ryder Cup team in 2025 and they will have to change the qualification process now

He pretty much did. You can almost tell that Jon isn’t entirely happy.

[jaydub]

Sold his soul.  Now will be seen as infrequently as Brooks.

 

Fans can affect this exodus by continuing to ignore the LIV Tour.  The Saudi's will hate being associated with disastrous ratings.

Why - Koepka qualified via his play in the majors.

Because only one LIV player made it and he wasn’t European

[Holy Moses]

Rahm said he’s always hated the format, still doesn’t like it and LIV isn’t changing that, but the team aspect was enough to make him switch. Sure, whatever.

Why wouldn't rahm go? This is in those 3 guys who negotiated with liv without informing any players for several months. 

 

Rahm can stay on the PGAT and make $100M+ over the next 5/6 years and know that the moral position of "not Saudi money" is gone. There'll be a ton of Saudi $ in the tour going forward. 

 

So if you have to choose....

 

$100M and it's a lot of Saudi $

 

Or

 

$600M and it's all Saudi $

 

Easy choice. Expect more big name guys to go.

There aren't all that many big name players left.

 

I'd imagine the targets for LIV are Hovland, Sheffler, Finau and Morikawa. After that, the PGA tour gets pretty thin.

Really? That is so cool!  The only difference between LIV and my club events is 18 holes?  Wow, I’m living the pro life I guess….minus the few hundred mill of course.🤣

The team aspect might be one of the least intriguing aspects from a viewer’s perspective for me. The excitement they try to generate for it is so contrived it’s cringe. Like I said here a few times at LIVs inception. The team concept in an individual sport just doesn’t work. See tennis and bowling. But if that’s the aspect Jon likes the most, then I respect his feelings 😊

If I have to hear one more middle aged dude say "secured the bag" I'm going to throw up.

Because no one will be next time.  To play for Europe you need to be a member in good standing with the DP Tour.  Which none of them were during this last Cup and ont be next time.  For the US team you need to be a member in good standing with the PGA of America….which all PGA Tour members are BUT said membership expires this coming June for the guys that left.

Hard for you to believe they passed up $10m or so for $100m-$200m?

[Pops99]

I don't know why, but that LIV letterman jacket is hilarious to me (and Homa called it haha)

[getitdaily]

This move is 100% because of Monahan, Herlihy, and Jimmy Dunne

Do the Rohm picks get paid for being selected?
