      Phil is a known gambler. He played his hand with LIV and won big time.😊

    Speaking as a casual golf viewer, this news is surprising. The PGA sold total control to LIV? If not total control definitely partial control. Whoa

    Hopefully they won't have those stupid teams in this unfortunate merger. At least Phil will miss 90% of the cuts now that he has to play real golf again.

    • @philtookgrenadesforme7785
      @philtookgrenadesforme7785 Рік тому

      NBA is a major propaganda wing of the communist party. That isn't changing. They were moving golf in that direction. Will be interesting to see if the new entity goes woke or not. Not an ounce of cultural marxism in LIV so far.

    Yup, United Arab Emirates own DP World Tour, the Saudis cousin country & now Saudis own the PGAT, Asian Tour & LIV. The two neighboring countries own two major Pro Golf tour.

    Mickelson coming in second at Augusta with a back nine 31 halfway loaded up the camel. Koepka winning the PGA Championship was the rest of the load plus the straw that broke its back. The money that controls golf wants the best players in the major championships. End of story.

  • @jeffreyval9665
    @jeffreyval9665 Рік тому

    Mickelson's too old to compete regularly on a real tour, Koepka has become extremely unlikable, DJ has no personality, and Cam Smith is unlikable, unmarketable, and also has no personality, and nobody else on Liv mattered. The PGA shouldve held out. I doubt the Saudis would've kept losing billions every year and kept going. The PGA panicked way too early on this.

    Tiger is finished. He wont be on tv most weekends anymore. The big dollar party they've all been having for the last 20 years is over. But they dont want it to be.
    So go to the next best source so the party to continue

    I don’t think the pga’s troubles are just Liv. More people watch Rick Shields and Good Good per month than the pga..they need to change their business model and not be so greedy with ticket prices and cable only access. Give something of value to fans for a change. Get rid of monahan..sack him...the players should, but they won’t, because they take money as always

  • @philtookgrenadesforme7785

    WHo gets the ownership on the PGAT side in the new entity? The propaganda to sheep golfers was that they "owned" the nonprofit. Obviously Jay and his mafia network will get the ownership. PGAT players are getting shafted. Will be interesting to see what LIV players get in this deal.

    Mike is conflating the PGA and the PGA Tour
    The PGA Tour doesn’t own any of golf’s majors and it doesn’t own the Ryder Cup
    So Mike’s accession that a major will be played in Dubai is nonsense
    The Tour’s premiere event is the Players Championship, which I could see being played over there in the near future

      The PGA Tour could have implemented the changes that led to LIV. Mickelson was attempting to effect those changes in house before LIV then Monahan knifed him. Make the bed and sleep in it.
