Of the 17 golfers, nine had preemptively resigned their PGA Tour membership.
Sounds like a lawsuit coming.
How to ruin your sport
Well, this should kill the only sport I enjoyed watching on TV. I guess it’s a better death that seeing a bunch of sodomites walking down the fairyway holding hands.
why are they suspended?
Isn’t this the tour that’s playing Bedminster later in the summer?
PGA is being really stupid about this. They don’t control the majors, so they have no real punishment. All they’re doing is banning some of the sport’s big names who are doing occasional “other” tournaments to make more money. By forcing the players to choose and thus keeping them out of PGA events they’re just gonna kill their own ratings.
So we are just going to overlook American human rights abuses, like the J6 and numerous imprisonments and bombings?
Most of these are older players looking to cash-in at the end of their careers. The money is too big to ignore. They aren’t leaving on principle.
Does the PGA need some competition? Maybe, (I need to learn more) and maybe the LIV has an interesting format. That said, I'll skip the saudi tourneys.
The suspended pros might be wise to do the same.
The TechnoBullies run wild, once again.
I'm going to sanction the Pigga Tour, at a personal level.
This is bad news for the senior tour over the next 10-15 years.
This somewhat reminds me of what the World Football League attempted to do to the NFL in the mid ‘70s. That venture didn’t last long. I’m thinking this one won’t either.
All this tearful violin playing for the scumbag Khashoggi, who was no “journalist” at all. He wrote a grand total of three op-ed pieces, which the CIA thought at the time were ghost-written by a Qatar-based Al Jazeera reporter. He was a rabid anti-Semite, former BFF with Bin Laden and supporter of Hamas and Hizbollah. He took on MBS and lost. No one should shed a single tear for him, nor should our foreign policy be altered in his name.
seems like the PGA will end up being the AAA golf feeder league when all the big names go to LIV.
This is “cancel” culture at it’s finest. If the LIV has the money they can kill the PGA pretty quickly.
Soon the Masters will be played in Williamsport, PA going head-to-head against the little league world series.
Supposedly Tiger turned down LIV
I’m guessing they’ll still keep the LPGA, so there is that. PGA golfers who can’t compete with the big boys of LIV can go tranny and play in the LPGA.
PGA Tour comes across as very stuffy.....”But we have rules and we have tradition we must uphold!”
I personally believe the disruption / competition is good.
Also for anyone objecting, “but its the Saudi’s”, I would ask a question to PGA tour major sponsors such as BMW, IBM about their business in Saudi Arabia.
PGA is a monopoly.
Glad to see some name golfers walk away from them.
Competition necessary.
The PGA suspends the players.
Imagine what the Saudis will do if they leave....
They will execute them on the 19th hole : )
F The PGA, the went woke and banned Trump courses I hope they go down hard. The LIV has deep pockets literally oil sheik money and they are playing at two Trump venues. I play a lot of golf , have played all over the world I take my clubs everywhere I fly too. The PGA has become q woke racket that has been strong arming their players for years a pox on them.
