Aren’t they worried about losing all those black golfers that will protest the sport?
It could add to hundreds of dollars lost.
“despite outcry”
By whom?
Professional Negroes? F them.
Big PGA supporters those blacks...
The PGA is already caving in the 2nd part of their statement.
Well, pretty sure Tiger ain’t gonna show up.
How many of them “woke golfers” can you see?
The PGA was never going to know tow to BLM intimidation and threats.
Remember when The Masters told the crazy far left to go take a jump some years back?
Tiger ain’t going to show up no matter what. Guy is still suffering from his car accident injuries. Not to mention Tiger is the least woke top black sportsmen I know
What “outcry”?
A bunch of Leftist Stalinists upset about a Voting Law that is more liberal than the one currently in place in New York?
Um nope.
The “press” always uses the word “outcry” in these situations to create the impression that there is mass public anger when the “outcry” is usually confined to the media, their sycophants and a few loudmouths in the public. I would bet that 90 percent of the American public could not care less about what the media is whining about here.
Double eagle on par 3
Pro golfers are generally a conservative group. Surely as far as professional athletes go. Additionally, the Tour Championship is a big money event, and usually determines the Fed Ex Cup winner (which I believe is $10M), and is a limited field event in that only the top 30 players participate. So I don't think it will be an issue for the players.
No such animal - they are the conservative athletes.
Anyway, this is the FedEx cup championships with a $10 million first prize. I can guarantee all 30 will turn up. Even last place is something like $500K.
His chances of being among the 30 finalists are just about zilch. He may never play again.
Yes, but The Master's and the powers-that-be that run Augusta National are one thing, and the PGA is another. Still, I'm thinking the PGA is hoping this all blows over soon as the tournament is not till late September.
Let them drop out, and give them the opportunity to sit out
four other tournaments to get it out of their system.
It’s all virtue signaling unless they cancel the Masters at Augusta, but we all know that won’t happen.
The folks who run The Masters are part of the PGA.
Further, blacks and Latinos have very little power or influence in the PGA where most of the top players are White. The one great black golfer, Woods is about the least woke top black athlete I know.
There is no percentage in the PGA allowing themselves to be turned into puppets for the terrorist BLM.
FWIW, the PGA Tour doesn’t really have anything to do with the Masters, at least not from an organizing standpoint. It’s organized and contested absent any involvement from the PGA tour. In fact, I’m almost certain the Masters uses their own rules committee (made up of members, I believe) and on-course officials borrowed from the USGA and the Royal & Ancient.
