maybe Dustin Johnson should change his Instagram handle from djohnsonpga to djohnsonfuckmyassjihad

Rich oil kingdoms in the middle east have been buying up western sports teams to improve their image so its not surprising.

The degree to which it's "dirty money" probably depends on your perspective

Any dirtier than NBA and China relationship? Probably not.

Basically this is 90's WWF v WCW. Hoping to see some NWO type shit.

I don't understand the disingenuous hand-wringing about this. The USA is trade partners with SA, we aren't boycotting the World Cup being played in oppressive middle eastern countries. It's just a bunch of whining for the sake of whining. If you're not interested in watching the "names" they got to play on their tour, cool, don't watch. There's plenty of reason to make the move. 8 tournaments, no cuts, guaranteed money, 54-hole work weeks, shotgun start...

There's plenty to be excited about. A whole round of a golf tournament can wrap up in 5-6 hours. I'm going to check it out and hope that the PGA Tour can stop being a bunch of baby back bitches and accept that both tours can probably co-exist.

Is

Isn't WWE doing events over there for the cash also?

The difference between stuff like that and this is that this league is run, funded, and operated by the Saudi govt and their goal is to destroy the PGA tour and it's all fueled by Greg Norman and his disdain for the tour.

Why does Greg hate PGA?

What's disingenuous is guys like you acting like this is all being done in good faith. It's a state backed sportswashing attempt by the same group of people responsible for 9/11. Why would you support that?

 

[HuskerPAC]

No idea, I don’t follow WWE and it’s not a sport but rather an entertainment performance.

 

[Jim14510]

Yes but taking blood money from a country that is trying to rehab their image is wayyyyyy worse.

What?

Ahh Saudis. I can't get too excited about shit like that. We buy billions in oil from them and then complain about golfers getting a small fraction of it.

They're decades old gripes, and somewhat legitimate I'd say. Basically what it boils down to is the tour wanting control over the members of the tour, like making sure the members of the PGA tour played in PGA tour events instead of events in Australia for example.

I mean DJ said “I’m doing what’s best for me and my family” it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that means “I’m doing it for the $120 million”

Missed that one. Did he continue to say he’s thrilled about this competition with scrubs.

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

Why does Greg hate PGA?

Because he couldn’t win the Masters

I don't think anyone on this board, or any other board, would mistake me as someone who is a capitalist first conservative, but this take is ridiculous.

Please make the link between supporting the LIV Tour and supporting terrorism? If the LIV Tour starts funding terroristic activities, then I'll be the first to jump off the train. If you don't think that ~ $20B in imports the USA acquires from SA has a much larger impact on the potential funding of terroristic activities sponsored by SA then your being willfully ignorant.

If you are asking me whether I would prefer that a different entity was financially backing this tour, I would say yes; but it's not a deal breaker to me.

This will be a hell of a trick with the shotgun start if true

Hilarious that The Masters (Augusta National) all of the sudden has some sort of social conscious. Place wouldn't allow female members until 2012 and didn't allow black members until 1990.

Hopefully it's not an over-under shotgun that gets banned for being an assault weapon... 🙂
