I enjoyed watching both organizations’ tournaments but I came down firmly on the side of the LIV players from the beginning. It seemed to me that the PGA Tour was trying to have its cake and eat it too. PGA Tour players aren’t considered employees by the Tour Management, with all the financial benefits that accrue to employees who get sick, injured, quit or retire. If they aren’t employees, by law, they’re independent contractors who can perform their work anywhere and owe allegiance to no particular organization.

I was outraged that the PGA Tour banned some of the independent contractors from playing in the PGA events just because they played on a competing tour. That hadn’t happened before to any other golfer who played on the European Tour or in other smaller markets, such as Japan. It was a punitive action and Tour Management must have seen the legal writing on the wall.
