John Middlekauff reacts to the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and DP World Tour agreeing to merge. John questions whether PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan should be scrutinized after persuading top players like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm to remain loyal to the PGA. John also discusses the positive impact the merger will have for the average viewer as LIV Golf stars Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka will return to PGA events.

One of their ringleaders is now THE lead insurrectionist, and former President. What’s happening in this country? Perhaps Trump can share some classified documents with Monahan. 😳
⛳️
This whole golf, PGA/LIV Merger drama is definitely a secession.
Ur spot on about it all. Glad everyone is starting to make sense of this whole thing
Jay is responsible for the toxic culture and business practices that led pros to join Liv. He didnt make more money for the tour he diverted it into the boards pockets. He should go.
Been waiting for this!!!
Well played PGA. Monahan lined his pockets up heftily with that Saudi Money. You kidding me?
I don’t understand the big deal. The saudis already own a lot of America
Logan was the one doing the bribing, not being bribed.
Decent take but LIV going nowhere . It's another massive revenue raiser now the roadblocks cleared. Its also a massive sweetener to those not making elevated events.
This is why you never stay loyal teams etc
All this fake outrage from you western hypocrites! Your country has committed countless war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and many other places. The arrogance to think anyone takes your input on morality seriously is hilarious.
Phil was playing chess, Jay was playing checkers and Rory was playing with himself.
Rory is as much of a hypocrite as Jay, and is now sulking like a child.
You might be right, but the Golf Channel is owned by NBC. Not the PGA tour.
The amount of money that tiger just got fucked out of is absolutely insane!!!!! People die every day over 20 or 40 bucks and this dude screwed the best players in the world out of billion's!!!!!!
Cream always rises to the top. The best players are always needed . Monahan and the Arabs plus a shit load of green solved the moral issue.
we need captain america , masters champion . Brings in an extra thousand fans just to hate him. If Pat makes the final round It is a lay down extra 1000 haters through the gate.
I do believe you have a place called Guantanamo Bay. What ever happens anywhere else in the world cannot compare to the torture of the inmates at the Bay.
Oil money gets what oil money wants. They have trillions of dollars.
Tiger goes retired, which would completely ruin the viewership for about a decade
Monahan sold out if you look hard Monahan has now got a large bank account this f-cker is on the take..
Liv is good for the game
Monahan better keep the 9/11 victims out of his mouth from this point forward.
You fucking nailed this episode. Drop the mic!
Saudi-owned PGAT!
Thats why the only people you should ever be loyal to is yourself. Rory and Tiger should have left and got that extra money. If so maybe thus partnership happens even faster.
I hear LPGA players will be required to wear burkas on the golf course.
💯
First Timer John. Good stuff, I think you're take on all this lines up with a lot of us.
PGA took the money they was gonna give tiger and Roy .such betrayal the pga gm jay monahan got money from liv . He sold his soul (pga) they should fire jay and break this merger.
Boycott
If this doesnt create a golf Union nothing will!
Chablee deserves exactly what he gets. Using sophistry/propaganda and flat out lies to bolster his position and slander players. And I don't think he's good at his job and he's not the sharpest guy. I guess if the market place values his worth more than his replacement, but I don't see it. I think most golf fans are fed up the guy.
Tour members should demand a full financial audit of PGAT finances…where did the money go? Monahan must go,,,a blind worm has better vision than Jay
