thank god nobody turned down 200 million dollars to stay on the pga tour. oh wait
Professional Golf has died. They are now the same as all the other greedy, money driven major leagues. Sad day.
Blah blah blah. The right people got paid off.
PGA Tour players will never choose loyalty and tradition again. Lesson learned.
Keith must be breathing a sigh of relief and he destroyed the DP World Tour by becoming just a feeder tour to the PGA Tour.
This guy is an even bigger cnut than Monahan!
"And his EXCELLENCY "????
They all should call Stenson and apologize for being 2faced assholes and bring him back as captain if HE WANTS
We don't care about human rights. We care about money.
Money rules the world..
This dude is a slime ball… "In terms of how the merger was brokered is somewhat irrelevant… the fact is, the merger has been brokered". Give me a break dude… just own it. You had a number and they paid it to you… I couldn't care less about the merger but the hypocrisy is deafening!
poor Jack. he's getting a little long in the tooth to remember his high ethical and moral standards. this is a terrible relationship both morally and ethically. I will never be able to stomach watching a tour event. Yes, everyone (not me) is going to make a boatload of money but that doesn't make it right or the best choice.
this is from U.S. government website:
"Significant human rights issues included: unlawful killings; executions for nonviolent offenses; forced disappearances; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment of prisoners and detainees by government agents; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; political prisoners or detainees; serious restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including threats of violence or unjustified arrests or prosecutions against journalists, censorship, site blocking, and engaging in harassment and intimidation against Saudi dissidents living abroad; substantial interference with the freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; severe restrictions of religious freedom; restrictions on freedom of movement; inability of citizens to choose their government peacefully through free and fair elections; violence and discrimination against women, although new women’s rights initiatives were implemented; trafficking in persons; criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual activity; and restrictions on workers’ freedom of association, including prohibition of trade unions and collective bargaining."
They couldn't buy the players so they bought the whole damn thing
Someone got PAAAAIIIIIDDDDD. $$$$$
This guy is fucking greeeeasy
More like the Art of Noise minus the creativity. It seems the DP World Tour has the weakest position in this deal, the PIF and the PGA Tour seem to be leading this. The European Tour was once a very strong entity in the worldwide game of golf, why did this seemingly diminish, who is accountable?
Mr Krabs in down with the kids specs says " I like money!"
It's been a good day. Seeing all these preening finger wagging moralizing trash forced to eat excrement has been a real joy.
I hope the players walk away from all of this and set up their own tours – I have never heard such barefaced, disingenuous crap in all my life!
We don't involve sports with politics. Well said.
Haha now u ask Keith about Jamal
It’s all about the Benjamin’s…..
"We are not concerned with human rights." We are not concerned with how dirty the money is as long as it ends up in our pockets. We are not concerned how evil our business partners are as long as we get richer. Gotta hand it to ole Keith here he's right up front on his lack of moral backbone.
It's about 'Art of confidentiality'. What a spineless, morally corrupt little man Keith is – he should take his money and leave as CEO right now!!! Off you go Keith!!!
Absolutely disgusting
💰💰💰⛳🏌️♂️
Sounds like this latest version of Greg's world tour will be the real one.
About to learn there lesson when no one watches golf or goes to the events
Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Wahhabism. A country named after a single family. A family that continues to run things there. They used to be just wanderers in the desert eking out a living and washing their hair in camel piss. They had the dumb luck to be geologically situated on an ocean of oil and so have grown fat, spoiled, and arrogant from the wealth it has brought them. The Al Saud family keeps control of things by disappearing, torturing, and murdering it’s perceived enemies within the country and abroad. Censorship of the media including murdering anyone they perceive as a threat. No freedom of peaceful assembly, religion, movement, fair elections, and violence and discrimination against women within the country.
Yeah, these are just the kind of people you want to partner with.
What about US atrocities in Afghanistan, Libië, Sirië, Iraq, Somalia, Ukraine, etc.
These guys make me sick. They look at you in your eyes and lie as easily as they breathe.
Pelley does not have the power to scold any player wanting to play golf and he's not speaking from the same work sheet as pif pga so just leave the stage you ruined dp tour
Take your imagination and see the size of my bank account now, and the Saudi nuts on my chin. LOL. All the leaders of the PGA and DP tour should be forced to resign. Their handing of this entire thing has been an absolute clown show. To flip on a dime, say the things they have said, put the players in the positions they did… I hope the players come together and get these snakes out.
I just don't like Pelley since he took over DP World Tour.
A politician in golf
Every about this guy is slippery. Seems like the kind of person with absolutely zero moral compass… just show me the money !
I know one group that has integrity and that is the Golf Channel. I personally got Rush Limbaugh throw off the golf channel. I'm sure you all remember when Rush was on with Hank Haney.. Rush had mocked Connie Chung with a broken English accent mocking Chinese people. I wrote 17 letters to the Golf Channel including all the on air personalities(Brandel and Rich were included) that someone of his character and racism should not be promoted.
I figured it fell on deaf ears. A couple of months later I saw my caller ID light up with the "golf Channel". The person then said to me that they got my letters and decided that Rush would never be on the Golf Channel again.
When the reruns came on Rush was not included.
