  1. IOW, they found his price and he caved, fuck what he's said in the past. His word, integrity and dignity only have value until someone can reach a price where he'd give them up.

  2. Imma be honest, I hate it, but I understand. I'd like to say I'd have that integrity to be able to turn it down at that level, but I really don't know.

  3. Freddie Boom Boom is right. LIV doesn't matter, and it's poaching of players from other tours does not diminish those other tours. It only diminishes the bank account of the Saudi PIF, which is fine with me. I do not fault any player that makes a business decision. However, I do find fault in the callousness and hypocrisy of a player profiting from and promoting a business venture designed to enrich the economy of a culture intent on treating women as chattel, intent on treating the criminally accused as guilty without due process, intent on assassination of western journalists merely critical of such an evil empire, and intent on fostering terrorism against western democracies. So there.

  4. Hm. Jay Monahan threw Rahm and others under the bus. Now there's a possible merger in the future. If you wait until the merger, then you get nothing. If you leave now, then you get $600 million. Either way, there is going to be a merger. The difference is take the money now and play on LIV tour, or take no money later and still play on the LIV tour.

  5. What I'd like to see is, when one of those players get all their money from the Saudis and playing a few tournaments of theirs, is they walk away from them and say "I'm gonna try getting back into the PGA." I wonder what the Saudis are gonna do to them? After they get walked out on and not have the money returned. Could possibly say bye bye to that player, or one of his family.
