This is the likely outcome... Jay Monahan will be resigning... That’s the cost of this unholy merger.
The Korn Ferry tour is owned by the PGA tour, as is the Champions Tour... They aren’t going anywhere and neither is the PGA tour. The only way this merger happens is the elimination of LIV as a tour. Greg Norman is going to get the boot as well... Say bye, bye to Greg.
The PGA is making a deal with PIF... The ‘Private Investment Fund’ which is owned by the Saudi’s, they are not making a deal with LIV... They will create a ‘for profit’ tour (to be named later)... The top PGA tour players can play on that tour run by PIF for sh*ts and giggles, and they will maintain their PGA tour cards and play the PGA tour as a place to earn WGR points.
These ‘PIF’ events will be the same nonsense as LIV with a different name. The big losers... The 35 guys who currently play on LIV and can’t compete even on the Korn Ferry tour... Those poor saps are out of a job.
No, you misunderstood, and I'll take the heat, because it could be interpreted both ways...the Korn Ferry tour is going to be 'overrun' with competitors.
"The only way this merger happens is the elimination of LIV as a tour. Greg Norman is going to get the boot as well... Say bye, bye to Greg."
That's just onanism and you know it. PIF is going to call the shots with the PGA as a perfunctory "Board", and PIF will put Norman and Mick on that "Board".
"The 35 guys who currently play on LIV and can’t compete even on the Korn Ferry tour... Those poor saps are out of a job."
I don't disagree that the the last 20 on LIV are going to have to go back to work, OTOH none signed for less than 8M -- if people can't find a way to invest an 8M windfall and be set for life at 46, then they were already f'd when they played on the PGA Tour, genius.
