I don't personally believe it's ok to kill incidental targets using military force in a military strike.

I also believe committing premeditated murder + dismemberment of a citizen for criticizing said government in the press by agents acting at the behest of the same government at a recognized consulate office is not ok.

The PIF has and is going to spend ridiculous amounts of money to carefully have people forget about what the Saudi royal family's actions. I bet ol' Greg will be receiving more PR coaching if they want him to remain the face they need.

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy on all sides. Lots of evil things are done across the world all the time.

The PGA denying independent contractors the right to work is not a good look. The lawyers will have a field day with this one.

I keep hearing this over and over. But I doubt the PGA is doing anything without the benefit of counsel. So I’d assume they’re fairly confident in their actions.

Will be interesting to watch unfold.

Jack turned down $100M to be the face of LIV. How many people on this planet would do that?

How else can the PGA Tour compete with another tour willing to pay more money? Genuinely asking


How can the new tour make more money than the PGA? Or do you think they will just run at a loss indefinitely?

They offered Jack 100 million dollars. I don’t think profit is their goal at all

They're not preventing said contractors from working, they're just preventing them from working for the competition, while under contract with them.

Would the company you work for allow an IC to continue working for them if they found out they were working directly for your competition?

I’m not sure they are under contract with the PGA Tour. They work with the PGA TOUR, not for. They aren’t prevented from playing on the LIV as they are independent contractors. They just won’t be able to play the PGA Tour if they do.

They are independent contractors, which means there is...in fact...a contract for services. I know they are not employees, but they are under a contract.

We have IC's at my company, if we found that they were working for a competitor, we would end that agreement.

It's a non-profit, run by commissioner, Jay Monahan, and is projected to have revenues of $1.52 billion in 2022.

They may be under a contract and as you stated they aren’t employees. They work for themselves, not for the company. Depending on the terms of a contract, the contractor may be able to terminate the contract as can the company.

That’s what the PGA Tour is saying. You can end the contract with us but you can’t work with us again.
