Its free money. FREE MONEY. Absolutely amazing. And I don't blame anyone for taking that LIV money. Rory can jam it where the sun don't shine.

I thought the PGA and LIV merged?  The PGA made these guys who they are today, personally I think they are scum for defecting and I am with Rory and others on this.  Think they should not be allowed to participate in PGA events once they leave. PGA needs to take a harder stance.  There are plenty of great golfers who can fill their spots.

Am I reading the article correct?  LIV is offering him $300M + partial ownership
of a team for 3 years work, compared to his lifetime earnings of $51M for the
PGA?  Every single person alive would be
stupid to stay on the PGA when that is the alternative.  I don’t think it’s fair to call him scum when
the numbers are that large.

With PGA bonuses his earning have been 77 million and with marketing deals he is over 100 million.  Golf is not the NFL, the PGA has worked hard to put these guys in a position to make this kind of money.  So now you abandon the organization who provided you with that kind of living to go play for Saudi money?  What are you going to do differently in life with 300 million that you are not doing with 100 million?  Agree, it is sure tempting, but you and your kids and grandkids are already set for life for money, is it necessary?

Why is it scummy for an employee to try to maximize their
earning potential, but not scummy for the corporation to pay below market value
by using anticompetitive tactics to maintain it’s monopoly?

So 77 million is below market value?   PGA has made a tremendous investment in their brand, why shouldn't they protect it.  Do you see NFL players jumping to some of these other leagues?  How did that work out when they did years ago?  You want to talk about greed and unfair tactics, then look at the organization that is the LIV and how they are funded and what do you think their end game is?

So are you saying you wouldn't take 300 million?
