Did anyone see “live from the PGA Championship”
They definitely came after him on his involvement with Saudi backed league

Sounds like another shoe is going to drop on the gambling front and his personal life according to the author.

What’s ironic is the PGA TOUR at one time was the break away ‘league’.

They haven’t forgotten their history.

Tomorrow is the day the book comes out

Supposedly there is quotes from Tom Lehman that when him and Phil were partners during the Presidents cup, Phil was betting and checking football lines on his phone during the round and completely out of it golf wise

If that’s true Phil is a true degenerate gambler and may have actual real cash flow issues

It’s starting to sound like Phil is in serious gambling debt and needs quick money

Yeah Saudis pure evil China nice and not even close to Saudis when it comes to human rights. Also Shipnuck on and is a total asshat, Faxon and Chamblee also asshats. We here it all the time in other sports how the players are treated like shite by owners. When golfers decide they can get better pay somewhere other than the PGA well they are assholes and have no morals. I might not even watch this shitshow this week.

Phils peers sure don’t have his back, that should tell you something

Justin Thomas continued to bury him today in his interview. Rory buried him then pissed on his grave last month, all while saying “I don’t want to pile on”

It's unfathomable that a guy that has made 900 million in his lifetime has gotten himself in debt, if true.

The Tour has a lot of great role models and young guys coming into its own, it will be fine.

The Course itself looks to be in perfect shape.

7500 yards and a Par 70, it's going to be great.

That doesn’t tell me shite, they probably don’t like Phil most pros don’t. However if the Saudis offered him 130 million ,which is the number I saw, why the hell would they be pissed at Phil for taking the cash? It’s no different than free agency in other sports you usually go,with the money.

The Saudis and China are pure evil when it comes to our way of life. But hell in a few more years the fricking Chinese will own America as more and more of the younger generation is brain washed by liberal social media and dip shite college professors who can’t make it in the real world.

Shipnuck selling books; Brandel white knighting for the Tour, etc..

All sanctimonious bullshite.

I'm sick of the talk. The waivers have been denied. Let's get the lawsuit filed and get this over with.

Was awesome to listen to. The writer from Europe (Ken Scofield?) tore Phil and G Norman up.

While he is immensely talented on the course. I am not a Phil fan and it was just a matter of time until it all came out. He has always thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Phil viewed the LIV tour money grab. As Phil stated money ranks 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th in importance.

I think there's a good chance Phil already took the $100M+ and "cashed the check." He might not have a choice but to do whatever the Saudis tell him to do at this point.

I don’t blame him if he did. I don’t understand why Golf Channel et. al. give a shite either. They are trying to destroy Phil for taking it. Meanwhile the NBA is owned by China.

Used to really enjoy watching the Golf Channel. But after the reorganization not too long ago, it's gotten progressively worse, and I really don't watch it much anymore.

Golf Channel is definitely the mouthpiece for the PGA Tour on the LIV subject.

There's no doubt about these. Brande, especially, is a fricking liar. Dude claims he'd turn down a hundred mil for his morals and 2 seconds later will gossip for ratings.

That was the biggest hit piece I’ve witnessed

It sure seems like the tour is trying to make an example out of Phil. They are about to drag all his demons out of the closet and try to bury him.

It seems like LIV is being set up with the attention of attracting betting, which drives ratings in sports. Not good for the golf channel ratings

The Tour is entering a gambling partnership based on shotlink information.

It's already been reported.
