PGA TOUR, DP World Tour and PIF announce newly formed commercial entity (*** NO POLITICS ***)

[Ronnie Mundt]

Holy Jesus! This should be fun!

[MattyO1984]

When the notification flashed up on my phone from the PGA Tour app, I assumed it was groups for the Canadian Open and I didn't even think about looking. When I did eventually look at my one when another notification popped up, I literally dropped my phone and came straight on here. 

[Barto78]

Well, i for one am glad this is settled.  Now the players earn more money and we get a more competitive field each week. 

[smoothie4896]

Or maybe the PGAT didn't want its dirty laundry coming out in the courts.  This does end all litigation.  

[larciel]

Ahahahahahahahaahahha

 

We as normal citizens get duped again by rich, entitled, top of pyramid people.

 

Lololol

 

How funny it must have been for them to bash each other on TV while they secretly negotiate in the back to get the BEST INTEREST FOR THEMSELVES.

 

LOYALTY? SCREW IT! ITS ALL ABOUT THE $$$$

 

I don't want anyone say about pga and loyalty bs anymore!.

[Yanki01]

LIV playing 4d chess this whole time. 

[Barto78]

I'm now watching Golf Channel to see how long before they break away from their replay coverage to do a live hit from the GC studio.

[AdmiralPicard]

WHAT ABOUT THE LEGACY?!?!

Seems more like a win for LIV than the PGAT.

 

Very surprising.

Completely depends on the terms of the deal. I'm not anti-LIV; I enjoy watching their tournaments.  But they have not gotten anyone to watch their tournaments.  The only way PGA would agree to favorable terms is if they felt they were almost certain to lose anti-trust case.

[MtlJeff]

Did Talor Gooch just qualify for the US Open?

[larciel]

Big winners

 

Phil

DJ

Brooke's

 

And so many more especially those who had low chance of making $ at pga.

 

They hit the lottery!

[Barto78]

Every player should go to Phil and thank him for all the extra millions he helped them get.  Without Phil leaving i doubt this tour gets off the ground as quickly as it did.

[cassel191919]

I guess it will just be the 4 Majors for me, what a disappointment. 

[huskydawg]

Wow, it's going to become a for-profit company according to the cnbc article.

[damnisuck]

So.... Liv won?

Same, until they get bought as well. 

[bscinstnct]

This will be what it should have been to begin with

 

 

Several high profile, global events, that promote and bring hood PR and prestige to SA. 
 

I assume the pga tours interests will take seniority in the overall entity. But with PIF having appropriate influence and rights.

Phil? No. His true colors have shown. This is about not diluting the product and the $$$ involved. He had a good showing at AGNC but otherwise he’s been playing like a hack.

when i received the link my friend sent me regarding this, i did not click it because i figured it was 93% likely to be that large man at the end of the bed with his member out. 

 

 

You ALL know what im talking about... the one that was circulating during the pandemic  

 

 

 

 

I must have missed that one.

 

And you know what?

 

I think that's for the best...

[AlohaPineapple]

lmao

[gsrjc]

WTF. 

[MtlJeff]

Hearing rumors that Rory Mcilroy is going to host a press conference later today in order to condemn himself for his involvement with LIV

Phil has always been my favorite golfer and had a lot to do with me watching LIV.  But he's been super aggressive in his comments recently. It's going to be super awkward if he starts showing back up at PGA events

@bscinstnct

 

Excellent timing with the OP. Are you on a news service hot list or just lucky? This won’t be as epic as the Kirkland balls thread, but it has potential to move the needle. I wonder how the poor WRX mods are going to deal with it. Will there still be the “No LIV reference” going forward?

So no more PGA tour? It will be named something new?

No. Read the press release. 

[Yanki01]

LIV and PGA Tour.
