I don't blame the international guys at all for taking the payday with LIV, they owe no allegiance to the PGA tour of America. They will never get to play for the US in a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup, never get the fan adulation here of a Tiger, Jack or Arnie.

The lawsuit plays a part in getting the PGA to change. If they’re allowed to ban LIV players, then it’s not really competition.

This entity does not exist. There is the PGA Tour and the PGA of America. It’s the Tour that is at odds and losing players.

Now that the dust has settled on players, Just for yalls data. You can use it to argue amongst yourselves

Top 25 players on each tour by OWGR As of the US Open date(fairest date because it’s when LIV tour players were banned from OWGR tournaments

PGA tour

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,21,22,24,25,26,28,29,31,32,35

LIV

7,16,18,19,20,23,27,30,33,34,37,38,39,50,51,59,69,70,71,72,74,76,77,83,85

For reference, biggest ranking mover for LIV was cam smith from 6 to 2

Biggest mover for PGA was Young from 32 to 17

The Tour hasn't prevented LIV from forming or existing.

The Saudi's has plenty of money to excel without any need to damage the Tour.

To hell with Greg Norman and his agendas.

The Tour players are assets and the PGA Tour has every right to defend their franchise.

That's your opinion. I hardly think so.

And it's the "brand" stupid. When it comes to sports, it will always be the "brand." "Brand" names leaving have hurt the PGA.

Take just a second out of your busy schedule to try and envision why Jay Monahan came up with PIP.

I’m just listing for you the caliber of players on both tours. Not here to argue.

He thinks the Tour is only for Americans. That’s also wrong.

It has? I remember just a couple a months ago you saying that LIV would only get a few top 50 players.

LIV will be the top tier golf league in 5 years and it’s already becoming the international league.

Huge assumption, since we don't even know if the World will exist in 5 years with the way things are going.

Please quote where I said that. I said I don't blame the international guys at all for chasing the money, they aren't beholden to the US Tour and will never be held in the same regard as American stars here.
