PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf: A Clash of Financial Titans!

I was hearing things from the PGA Tour about how they were going to structure this with Liv, and it sounded so bad. It was horrendous. Just think about this. Can you give us like one? Yes, absolutely. Okay, all right, give us a couple. This is what we want. This is what we want right now. So what's the dude's name from Saudi? What was the guy's name? Yasser Al-Rumayyan? Yasser. So Yasser was going to put up all the cash for like a Liv PGA Tour sanctioned event, and they were going to have X amount of these events throughout the calendar year. There was a lot of things that happened over the last three years, but this was one of the things that was kind of on the possibility or on the radar of intertwining in the schedule of like, all right, how are we going to get these guys together? And they were going to have Scottie Scheffler, you were going to have a Victor Hovland, a Colin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, and they were all going to be captains and they were going to pick their team and they're going to have the Liv guys play on their team and the U.S. guys pick and play on their teams whatever and i was just sitting here listening to this and i'm like so you're telling me that these guys are finishing up playing a stretch of Bay Hill Players Championship and wherever you want to say like three three week in a row run where they're just gas now you're going to see Scottie Scheffler show up to playing a a exhibition team event and he's gonna have to do it how many times a year he's like x you know it could be four to six or something like that, I was like no chance that these guys are gonna do this it it just it what was going to eventually happen was that if it was if that was something that was uh either mandatory or something that was too hard to pass up because the money was too good it was going to affect and hurt so many tour events and of guys of like hey this is a week that that i kind of like you just can't turn down the money to go and play and next thing you know it's like you have four to six events that you might play on the PGA Tour season of a let's say it's a Honda or a Valspar Cognizant apologies um or an Amex wherever it is like these are the events that these guys like to mix into their schedules and now that they were going to have to go and and play at these events where it's just exhibition live first PGA where i don't know how it was going to work and i'm just saying like man this is so bad it's just like nobody was going to like it and it would have been cool maybe the first week but past that people would have been like this is so dumb what's going on with professional golf these guys are just making so much money and like we have lost the plot and that's like where we were potentially heading it with a possibility of working with LIV PGA together that it's it's wild and it's also it's like man what a bullet we dodged and we're looking at the way that this thing's being reformatted and what's happening in lieu of that in the offseason thank goodness this is this is where we've ended up because for me i just i don't want to be too critical of some various like team stuff that's popped up you know over the last couple years and i appreciate the the desire for innovation and and tapping into new markets and you know there's the cliche version of growing the game but there is one that really is interested in trying to find new people and bring them to the game of golf in a way that they find interesting i applaud that but we know which team events we care about like that doesn't have to be said out loudly like we we already have those things established
