  1. Monahan is the definition of a sellout. It’s truly laughable if it wasn’t so sad for the sport of golf.

  2. ….and all these players in line for compensation are the ones who don't need it….usual elitist crap…..

  3. Imagine complaining about Capitalism. This is the world we live in. How is this a surprise to anyone?

  4. As soon as Rory and his cry baby buddies take the so called Saudi "blood money"…they will be a part of it..which will make them hypocrites, as the rest of them.

  5. Jay Monahan sold PGA Tour to get his own golden parachute. He could not care less who he leaves behind. Rory, Justin and all the other clueless players left with empty bags of Jay's excrement. Does Jay care? of course not. Jay loves Jay. No one else.

  6. I am done watching golf. When they can't sell the event tickets and start giving them away so it looks good for the camera's I will attend the event just so I can heckle the original LIV golfer's who destroyed golf to pad their own pockets.

  7. This is an article by Tom Anderson in April 2022 ( Look more closely at the PGA tour) "PGA Tour China is one of several developmental circuits sponsored by The PGA. The PGA Tour appears unfazed by China’s appalling human rights record, which currently includes accusations of brutal persecution of its Uyghur Muslim population. The PGA Tour’s failure to file a 990 form disclosing its financial dealings with Chinese private equity firm Yao Capital. As a tax-exempt organization, the PGA Tour is required to disclose such business dealings in China. It seems a clear case of the PGA Tour trying to have it both ways: gaining entry into the lucrative and largely untapped Chinese golf market, while flying under the radar of U.S. regulators and the IRS."

  8. BS Rich, 'Take the log out of your own eye before you take the splinter from your neighbor's'…….

  9. If profit is the game and doesn't matter where the money comes from

    then PGA should partner with drug cartel.

    Saudi Arab is much worse than Putin.

  10. This is what happens when you brainwashed people to hate oil and gas to the point they want their own country to not produce their own oil. Then import oil and gas from other country and make them rich.

  11. They just "bought" the PGA Tour, so yes, they did just buy the PGA Tour. Money has already talked so it will continue to talk.

  12. PGA SOLD OUT! Saudi is a filthy Dictatorship. ITS NOT ALWASY ABOUT THE MONEY. Legacy matters. LIV took the Cheaters, Tax Evaders, Coke Heads and bad sportsmen from PGA. They rating and crowd size were horrible. Knowing they weren’t going to make it the got to the idiot heads of PGA.

  13. Rory said yesterday that he was never offered money.. maybe I misunderstood his response though

  14. محمد بن سلمان آل سعود

    سوف يتعفن في الجحيم لما فعله بخاشقجي
    Rest in peace Khashoggi

  15. The sports business just keeps getting dirtier and dirtier. It's getting increasingly harder to support

  16. Rich: The Saudis are competing against other Gulf states–not the US or Europe, for global sport domination. Most people miss the fact that the PGA Is now under Saudi hands, it is the new FIFA. It will be corrupt, obscene, immoral, and unwatchable for most. Look no further than FIFA, F1 and the Premier League to see the corruption (Man City, PSG, FIFA, Super League, F1) and ambition.

  17. I called my county club & canceled my membership & I’ve all my golf clubs, bags etc… 4 sale , I AM DONE, Hello tennis & biking 🚴‍♀️, I’m sure tennis will be bought by them 👳🏾‍♂️also
