I disagree with it – Tiger Woods firmly opposed to LIV Golf breakaway
Yahoo! News ^ | July 12, 2022 | Phil Casey

Posted on 07/12/2022 7:17:36 AM PDT by kiryandil

Tiger Woods has reiterated his opposition to the Saudi-backed breakaway fronted by Greg Norman and questioned if its younger recruits will ever be able to compete in majors.

Speaking in a press conference ahead of the 150th Open Championship, Woods said he supported the R&A’s decision not to invite Norman, a two-time winner, to the Champions’ Dinner at St Andrews due to his role as CEO of LIV Golf.

And the 15-time major winner said he could not understand why the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka had “turned their backs” on the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf’s series of 48-man, 54-hole events.

Another factor to consider is that Woods has only played in 86 Major events compared to Nicklaus's 164, thus giving Woods a much higher winning percentage.

18 majors is the only stat that matters.

All the wokester sports jernalists were cheering on that hunt.

Who did tigertigertiger beat at all those 2nd-tier tournaments?

Does anybody remember their names? We did an annual golf results money league for quite a few years before the whelp got on tour, and I knew the names of everybody who was anybody.

I don't remember any of Tiger's doormats. They all have the same faces.  ROFL face

Elin still hits a 9-iron better than tigertiger... ;-)

Morever, no one should whine about "Khashoggi!" because he was an absolute scumbag who got what he deserved.

I heard Khash was a whiz at "chipping"...  winking face

Yep. It's getting hard to watch. The corporate bobbleheads are all reading from the woke script.

Okay, I admit it, I am a golf neophite. I know a little about Pro golf and mini golf, but WTH is LIV golf?

Does the new league play by the same rules of golf?

I get they stole some of the stars and it will impact TV ratings and advertiser money, but the US and British Opens are open to all players that can make the cut including non-affiliated amateurs.

As you know, there are only 4 major tournaments, all the others comprise the PGA Tour.

So who did he beat in those "2nd-tier" tournaments?

Phil Mickelson

Jim Furyk

Rory McIlroy

Steve Stricker

Davis Love III

Bubba Watson

Ernie Els......

Maybe you've heard of some of their names. Should I go on?

It's a Saudi confection, featuring professional golfers playing at various venues for Big Buckaroonies.

The wokesters at the Pigga have The Madz about MBS crimping their gate*.

translation: LIV is cutting into the profits of the PGA Tour, or are perceived to be a threat to said profits. Pigga = PGA / MBS = Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman

What’s going on in college football is appalling. Corporate money is driving the formation of these new super-conferences at the expense of traditional loyalties and the smaller schools. The rich get richer.

Oh, you will go on.

You always do.

Nice to find out you're a self-admitted wokester. I myself was turned off by the Tiger-loving commentators "getting a tingle" every time his name crossed their lips.

Fortunately, you can replay old Tigger tourneys to "relive The Thrill" of the Strumpet Master before he imploded. Turn up the volume so you don't miss a single syllable of the tongue-baths.  winking face face with tears of joy face with tears of joy

LIV reportedly offered Tiger $800 million, and he turned them down.

but the US and British Opens [aka The Open] are open to all players that can make the cut including non-affiliated amateurs.

The Brit wokesters are trying to shame former Open champion Greg Norman over his role in LIV.

Eff them. He's won the Claret Jug twice, and they haven't.   ROFL face

“more players competing...good good good”

Exactly.

There are many very talented golfers out there—more of them will get a chance to show their stuff.
