It reminds me of the super league in football uefa enjoyed not having any competition so they created a giant media/outrage storm that the Europeans took hook line and sinker and now they get to go back to watching 11 ties every Saturday and the same 3-4 teams winning every year
Thank you for talking about this subject! I love it and I have been keeping track for awhile, I think these guys need to make as much as they can! Golf is hard!
Pat Mcafee explained this perfectly. Literally every sponsor on the pga tour has a percentage ownership from Saudi money. It’s ridiculous. The PGA tour only started increasing payouts when their top talent left
The PGA is pissed off because of the competition. But now they making it about human rights. When you go against the establishment then suddenly there's alot of issues. The more competition the better. And the golfers are happy to jump ship because it's more money in their pockets.
I keep hearing about competition but rather than some kind of free market scenario I'm more reminded of the situation back in the 80s when government subsidized steel companies dumped their product into the market at less than the production cost knowing that the existing companies couldn't compete.
Where was the outrage and criticism of Saudi money in golf, when the Saudi International started on the European Tour, the year following the Khashoggi murder. The PGA Tour has given players releases to that event, each year since 2019, including this year.
Where is Peng Shuai? China owns UFC! She was the tennis player that disappeared after grape allegations against high level CCP member. Should I stop watching UFC? Joe? Anyone?
Hard to take anybody seriously that uses terms like 'it's old white guy BS'. Even the fact that he defends Saudi money and slaves in China making phones. Andrew is a complete goof.
8:00 as someone who plays golf in my industry/company as a more junior employee, 100% getting more opportunities on the golf course with clients and management than any meeting.
Its a great way to test your possible client.. If you're willing to cheat in golf, you're willing to cheat in business. Its a great quick way to see how any person acts or operates in 3-4 hour time span
With the Netflix special that just came out from the Drive to Survive guys I really hope golf blows up in popularity like F1 did, it’s such a great sport and there’s so much drama and entertainment once you get into it. LIV golf is also adding a whole other layer, really entertaining stuff to watch.
Having meetings on the golf course gives you a level of intimacy with your counter that few locations can. My dad always said that if you can't close a deal by the 12th hole, find a new job.
This happened a while back in the sport I used to compete in. The organization here in the US was geared more towards a bigger payout to the athletes who finished better whereas other organizations from different countries would pay you an appearance fee just for showing up plus a healthy kick towards the guys who finished better. Typically after being on the circuit for a couple years guys would figure out where their average placings would be and instead made a living just from invitational events. Plus it kept you in the sport longer because injuries would be greatly lessened.
I wish this guy gave a better explanation when Joe asked what talent is going over there.. he said Phil Mickelson and he should have told Joe that some of the top ranked golfers in the world right now are going over there, and they’re doing it because they make almost double the money, play 1 less day than a PGA competition, and the payouts for every spot are a lot more than to a PGA payout for where you place.. the PGA has so much money and don’t wanna pay their golfers what they should get so they left to make more money and now the PGA is mad about it cause they feel like they’re entitled..
@@kylemorse346 PGA doesn't have as much money as the Saudis. Most corporations and orgs get by on the skin of their teeth from a profit margin perspective, more so than people realize (sure an exec might make a low-8-digit income, but if you took that and spread it around to all their employees it wouldn't be noticeable). They can't compete with a petrostate writing blank checks.
The golf and business thing is big - you ALMOST have to play the game, if you want to make it in the finance relationship based business world.

@@spencerplummer8002 no, they shouldn’t. I have played competitively my whole life and the idea, the PRESSURE of playing and not getting paid is a part of what separates pro golf from other pro sports… You want paid, produce…plain and simple.

Stop sticking up for the rich elitist they have more than enough to compensate these guys even if it doesn't cover their costs completely they deserve something for putting in the work to get there. Could you imagine a football player getting signed to a team and playing on Sunday and then because he has 3 fuck ups he doesn't get paid for the day, or a fighter in MMA shows up and gets knocked out and he doesn't get a paycheck at all!? It's insanity, their punishment for mediocrity should be they don't get to be pros anymore it shouldn't be they don't get paid at all. Eventually just getting show up pay will weed out the contenders from the pretenders.
I'm with Andrew Santino on this one. I always believe competition is a good thing. PGA needs to figure out how to evolve a bit more and maybe change some old rules and policies to bring some new fans in. Also the fact you can't take footage from your play to hype up on social media is ridiculous. Golf is pretty boring ..so why wouldn't you want your players posting awesome highlights on their social media pages of the fun cool stuff that might intrigue people into watching it. Idk man this whole There's only allowed to be one company or sports league is ridiculous. It's a open market. You can do whatever you want and no one can say you can't.

@@daroaminggnome i dont take meds, nice projection. Im just demonstrating how kittle changes to sports lesd to garbage over time and why the PGA is attempting to mantain their brand and golf. Theyve seen what going for the quick bucl has done to all the other sports that have changed to "grow the audience" and how they have to keep changing because its never good enough. Look how much baseball has changed in the past 20 or so years. Seems all fake at this point. How many game 7s are there in sports now? Seems very unlikely it went from a rarity to a regularity. I mean come on
A few things: The typical capacity at the 16th hole is around 20,000 (daily). Pro golfers are independent contractors who are given the choice of the PGA TOUR or sign with LIV. There’s a big difference though, with the tour they actually have some freedom unlike those with LIV who are obligated to play where and when they are told. Some golfers want to “have their cake and eat it too” desiring to play both, this is what the tour opposes. Ultimately, make your choice and live with it.
you are very correct keith on all points - recognize that the ones that went to LIV -got paid an awful lot of money for it - and as you notice they are unable to be content with that - speaks much more about those individuals than anything else.
LIV Golf players are paid an undisclosed signing fee along with additional prize money depending on their rank in the tournaments. As per reports, the contract Phil Mickelson signed with LIV Golf is to be worth $200 million. Dustin Johnson reportedly agreed to a fee of $150 million and Bryson DeChambeau fetched $100 million.
This guy keeps contradicting himself....keeps talking quicker than he thinks ...then when Joe tells him ..".naaa that's inaccurate" he acts like he said the opposite of what we all heard . Full of bs
Where a lot of the controversy is coming in to play, is counting for world rankings. It’s like a company has fights like the UFC but it’s only one five minute round, and those fighters are being included in the world rankings.
16 usually holds 15-16k fans per day. Only a small part is “come and go” the open seats. Everything under a canopy you have to have a pass to get into and it’s expensive. The entire tournament hosts an absurd number of people, I believe around 3/4 million lol. It’s insane
What they forgot to mention: The history of golf through the PGA Tour(Records, Stats, etc.) is devalued and will depreciate the more successful LIV becomes. And it goes much further than that.
They like to play golf because you can learn a lot about someone's personality by doing so. How aggressive they are, how they react under pressure, how competitive they are. It puts you in situations that really shows more about who they are.
@@freedfree7933 to some extent yes. This sport is more of an individual sport rather than a team sport though. It has plenty of down time when chasing your ball around the course.
@@freedfree7933 was about to say I could genuinely think of 10 other sports in 10 seconds that this would apply more so to and also this is any sport.
Golf is an art form and while enjoying the thrill I enjoy a fine cigar. There are levels to fine handcrafted premium cigar and spirits. Selective boutique manufacturers like Didier Cigars is truly special. I’ve done the pairing with Angels Envy and a Salomon from Didier Cigars. The experience is truly magical and sophisticated.
If LIV Golf gets a network television deal, they will eclipse most weekly PGA tournament telecasts. All the best and exciting stars are playing the LIV tour.
You may be right but there are so few events. Don't you think it will get boring seeing the same names on the leaderboard every week? I think one of the things that's great about the PGA is that there's an event EVERY week. Players come in and out depending on the prize money obviously but it does diversify the field.
When I was in college, one of my dormmates asked me to teach him how to play golf. I asked why and he said he is a business major and the majority of deals made are on the links. Additionally, I know people with golf memberships, solely for business purposes.
My biggest problem with LIV is that the organization isn’t trying to make money. It’s not competing against the PGA as a tour that is profitable. They have unlimited money to pay players to leave without having to profit from revenue. This is a PR move more than anything.
@@csnide6702 Yes the PGA does have a tour card you have to earn and they do tell players where to play every week of a tournament. Every sports league tells the teams who can play where.
I first saw and liked Andrew Santino in "I'm Dying up Here". Now I really like him. His perspective on a competitive league being acceptable and the PGA doing everything they can to maintain a monopoly on professional golf.
You wouldn't? Ive seen interviews with singers , rappers, rock starts talking about getting paid a few million and getting a Lamborghini or expensive jewelry for playing for an hour and getting flown in on private jet. I wish I had some kind of singing talent and was asked to perform at one of their kids parties...youll be set for life.
Augusta is letting LIV come play at the national. That means a lot when it’s one the most popular golf tournaments in the world. Us local folks in Augusta thought it would never happen. Shit, they didn’t even let a women member in until a few years ago. I guess money talks. I don’t have a problem with it
You guys are way off on the capacity. 16th Hole itself holds 20,000 per day. The tournament attendance is WELL OVER 200,000 on Saturday alone. For the last few years, total attendance from Thursday-Sunday is over 700,000 people.
I was a huge TV golf fan (it looks so damned great in HD), plus I'm a lefty so rooted for Phil "phirst". Tuned into Golf Channel almost daily. Then the whole LIV thing hit, and all the PGA had to do was welcome the competition like it does with European golf, Asian golf, DP World, etc. Plus, like your guest said, the Saudis sponsor a shit-ton of LPGA events, and Golf Channel covers them no problem (with pretty good ratings, I'd guess). For majors and select Tour events, let the LIV guys play! Instead, because the PGA banned LIV golfers, its events are watered down and draw less interest (from me, at least). Golf Channel should *COVER* LIV events along with all the others. It would grow the game instead of politicizing it. Maybe it's just me, but I hardly ever turn on Golf Channel now. I'll watch the Masters, of course, and probably the other majors, but weekly Tour events no longer interest me. Sad...and a shame.
@@krusher74 Why does it matter? Let them do their thing - televise it (fills out "dead slots" on Golf Channel) - then have PGA events like normal. LIV players can pick and choose (subject to qualifying like always); Tour events would have been that much more competitive and interesting (especially with new rivalries). Not too late if they want to grow both the game AND audience!

@@spencerplummer8002 no, they shouldn’t. I have played competitively my whole life and the idea, the PRESSURE of playing and not getting paid is a part of what separates pro golf from other pro sports…
You want paid, produce…plain and simple.
@@spencerplummer8002 why ? It is a pure meritocracy….. and that’s how pure competition in sport works. Or should work.
@@acbower4468 I disagree if you've put in the time and money to get to that level like these guys have they deserve to be reimbursed. Stop sticking up for the rich elitist they have more than enough to compensate these guys even if it doesn't cover their costs completely they deserve something for putting in the work to get there. Could you imagine a football player getting signed to a team and playing on Sunday and then because he has 3 fuck ups he doesn't get paid for the day, or a fighter in MMA shows up and gets knocked out and he doesn't get a paycheck at all!? It's insanity, their punishment for mediocrity should be they don't get to be pros anymore it shouldn't be they don't get paid at all. Eventually just getting show up pay will weed out the contenders from the pretenders.
I'm releasing a book about my days as a golf caddie. Let's tee it up and have some fun when it's released Santino.
I'm with Andrew Santino on this one. I always believe competition is a good thing. PGA needs to figure out how to evolve a bit more and maybe change some old rules and policies to bring some new fans in. Also the fact you can't take footage from your play to hype up on social media is ridiculous. Golf is pretty boring ..so why wouldn't you want your players posting awesome highlights on their social media pages of the fun cool stuff that might intrigue people into watching it. Idk man this whole There's only allowed to be one company or sports league is ridiculous. It's a open market. You can do whatever you want and no one can say you can't.
You can’t compete against people who have unlimited money and don’t need to balance the books, their goal is sportswashing not a viable business
@@Cornwall1888 the knight of all morals writing this comment with a device all made from blood money. I know I’m doing the same, but talking about sportwashing is just bullshit. The US and Europe are acting like they care about people, all this nonsense is just them justifying moving to 3rd world countries building chemicals factories with zero regulations and care for human rights… hypocrites
yeah lets make it all gimmicks like baseball and football. Maybe we could get strippers and sound effects everytime someone hits a ball or misses a shot. Awesome!!!! Itll be just like the movie Dodgeball, SWEET! Thatll get the kids in for 30 seconds. Maybe sll the golfers can wear 600 sponsor oatches like nascar and the blue angels can fly over rhe course. I cant wait for alternate golf club colors each season. Can we redesign the courses to pitched towards a bigger hole so theres more hole in ones too? How bout a flying jumbotron blimp for rhe crowds. RADICAL DUDE! I cant wait to see everyone on one wheels and hoverboards, golf carts are so bulky and terrible for things. Theres too many golf clubs too, happy gilmore only needed a drivsr and a putter, like wtf? I just hope someone cool wins the Budweiser PGA Amazin classic brought to you by StatefarmnInsyrance at the Meta bowl
@@chriss4084 take your meds
@@daroaminggnome i dont take meds, nice projection. Im just demonstrating how kittle changes to sports lesd to garbage over time and why the PGA is attempting to mantain their brand and golf. Theyve seen what going for the quick bucl has done to all the other sports that have changed to "grow the audience" and how they have to keep changing because its never good enough. Look how much baseball has changed in the past 20 or so years. Seems all fake at this point. How many game 7s are there in sports now? Seems very unlikely it went from a rarity to a regularity. I mean come on
Who made your jeans?
Joe: rwooosh 😂
@Mediateam202 LOL, FU scammer!
" go to snopes"
🤣
"Go to scooter"
When I was at IBM, I missed out on info and deals because I DIDNT play golf
If you are worked up about Saudi money on LIV then you should be worked up on China money on NBA.
Complaining about Arabs dismembering one of their own is rich when Julian Assange is locked up in England.
A new santino jre episode great success
Can Jamie get a "Please" every once in a while...
Boston manners.
Joe going to snopes is almost as dumb as me coming here to watch this video.
Dammit Joe. LET'S GO GOLFING! ⛳
Bro quit acting like you know him personally...groupie.
@@Marin3r101 look at all your comments on videos. Nothing but garbage coming from you.
@@Marin3r101he’s quoting DJ khaled you sped
That golf doc is getting great reviews at the moment
Joe "How much are the best players getting to play LIV golf?"
Andrew "A Joe Rogan Spotify contract."
Take a mulligan, try again.
Just to swing a put and get a ball in a hole.
It’s about 15k at the stadium and attendance at the event can be 250k plus
A few things:
The typical capacity at the 16th hole is around 20,000 (daily).
Pro golfers are independent contractors who are given the choice of the PGA TOUR or sign with LIV. There’s a big difference though, with the tour they actually have some freedom unlike those with LIV who are obligated to play where and when they are told. Some golfers want to “have their cake and eat it too” desiring to play both, this is what the tour opposes. Ultimately, make your choice and live with it.
you are very correct keith on all points - recognize that the ones that went to LIV -got paid an awful lot of money for it - and as you notice they are unable to be content with that - speaks much more about those individuals than anything else.
I hate the liv golf thing. I hope it goes away soon.
Wellllllllll actually ….
This is what the Portnoy interview should’ve been
LIV Golf players are paid an undisclosed signing fee along with additional prize money depending on their rank in the tournaments. As per reports, the contract Phil Mickelson signed with LIV Golf is to be worth $200 million. Dustin Johnson reportedly agreed to a fee of $150 million and Bryson DeChambeau fetched $100 million.
What he said about Zion Williamson is hilarious.
This guy keeps contradicting himself....keeps talking quicker than he thinks ...then when Joe tells him ..".naaa that's inaccurate" he acts like he said the opposite of what we all heard . Full of bs
Someone needs to show Joe the Ryder cup
Bring on the competition baby. Love LIV for that. I’ll keep watching both.
Where a lot of the controversy is coming in to play, is counting for world rankings. It’s like a company has fights like the UFC but it’s only one five minute round, and those fighters are being included in the world rankings.
Can’t believe he spent 14min talking about Liv but didn’t mention Cam Smith, the best golfer on the planet.
Facts
Its generic talk. Kind of what I expect from JRE
Joe knows nothing about golf and Santino very little, they just know its a viral topic for a good clip.
Behind McIlroy right?
Tournament sets records daily for attendance. 100,000 plus people go there for the tournament daily.
Cheeseburger was great! Glad to see him making his rounds
16 usually holds 15-16k fans per day. Only a small part is “come and go” the open seats. Everything under a canopy you have to have a pass to get into and it’s expensive. The entire tournament hosts an absurd number of people, I believe around 3/4 million lol. It’s insane
Going to Snopes for answers is like going to your magic 8 ball that only has yes and maybe 😂
Another truth hater.
What they forgot to mention: The history of golf through the PGA Tour(Records, Stats, etc.) is devalued and will depreciate the more successful LIV becomes. And it goes much further than that.
Obsessive Joe will get addicted to golf, practice relentlessly, and win the 2025 Masters.
as he gets older hell get into it for sure
Joe, my jeans where made in America. Where was the cobalt mined for your tesla
They like to play golf because you can learn a lot about someone's personality by doing so. How aggressive they are, how they react under pressure, how competitive they are. It puts you in situations that really shows more about who they are.
That's basically any sport
@@freedfree7933 to some extent yes. This sport is more of an individual sport rather than a team sport though. It has plenty of down time when chasing your ball around the course.
@@freedfree7933 was about to say I could genuinely think of 10 other sports in 10 seconds that this would apply more so to and also this is any sport.
Golf is an art form and while enjoying the thrill I enjoy a fine cigar. There are levels to fine handcrafted premium cigar and spirits. Selective boutique manufacturers like Didier Cigars is truly special. I’ve done the pairing with Angels Envy and a Salomon from Didier Cigars. The experience is truly magical and sophisticated.
If LIV Golf gets a network television deal, they will eclipse most weekly PGA tournament telecasts. All the best and exciting stars are playing the LIV tour.
You can't be serious!
No way. Although I do watch LIV for cameron smith
Tiger, Rory and Hovland come to mind quick for some reason.
That's a big if. That's the only way to really monetize their tour. Problem is no sponsors are willing to bite.. yet
You may be right but there are so few events. Don't you think it will get boring seeing the same names on the leaderboard every week? I think one of the things that's great about the PGA is that there's an event EVERY week. Players come in and out depending on the prize money obviously but it does diversify the field.
When I was in college, one of my dormmates asked me to teach him how to play golf. I asked why and he said he is a business major and the majority of deals made are on the links. Additionally, I know people with golf memberships, solely for business purposes.
This is true. I know dudes that wanted to learn golf so they could connect more with guys at the office.
My biggest problem with LIV is that the organization isn’t trying to make money. It’s not competing against the PGA as a tour that is profitable. They have unlimited money to pay players to leave without having to profit from revenue. This is a PR move more than anything.
no... its Best vs Best - unlike PGA who wants to dictate who can play where.
@@csnide6702 Yes the PGA does have a tour card you have to earn and they do tell players where to play every week of a tournament. Every sports league tells the teams who can play where.
PGA tour is a nonprofit.
@@A-FrameWedge That doesn’t mean they can lose unlimited amounts of money.
I had a feeling the darts 9 darters would come up, and sure enough hahag
LIV golf is basically like when Happy Gilmore started playing golf
Meet me at the 9th green at 9
I first saw and liked Andrew Santino in "I'm Dying up Here". Now I really like him. His perspective on a competitive league being acceptable and the PGA doing everything they can to maintain a monopoly on professional golf.
"Go to Snopes" said no intelligent person ever....
These are american jeans”” bruh he takes shit so personal and when he told dave portnoy to stfu i was so annoyed
I live near the TPC Scottsdale where the WM Open is. They start getting it prepped MONTHS in advance
When asked about what he thought of Golf, Furio Giunta said: "Stupid Fu***ng Game".😂
Stupida facking game
I've been watching golf for years. I only realised they could never wear shorts in the PGA once I watched LIV lol
Look up
“Joe Rogan asks Elon Musk HARD Questions about Cobalt Mining for TESLA Batteries!”
😢
I think it’s funny when he points out the 20,000 number and Jamie says that’s for the whole event. LMFAO
Imagine Joe Rogan playing golf against Elon Musk… that would be epic
Electric golf with an A.I chimp smoking a cigar
On shrooms...
haha
Sounds boring haha
I can't find this full episode on Spotify
Santino is definitely the type of dude that would perform for a Dictator or their kids.
You wouldn't? Ive seen interviews with singers , rappers, rock starts talking about getting paid a few million and getting a Lamborghini or expensive jewelry for playing for an hour and getting flown in on private jet. I wish I had some kind of singing talent and was asked to perform at one of their kids parties...youll be set for life.
Like Zelenski???
I honestly wouldn’t but I know that means nothing
Who cares?
Nobody of course
Augusta is letting LIV come play at the national. That means a lot when it’s one the most popular golf tournaments in the world. Us local folks in Augusta thought it would never happen. Shit, they didn’t even let a women member in until a few years ago. I guess money talks. I don’t have a problem with it
Jamie actually turns the camera on himself for a sec during this podcast. would be cool to see him more
No, it wouldnt
Tiger was offered like 3x the amount of those top golfers you mentioned. LIV has the money to buy the Talent.
the crossover I needed
I'm amazed that golf is THAT popular.
set your bar higher
Golf, Football, F1, Tennis, Horse Racing, Boxing etc, etc.
Of course Santino plays golf…
He wack
Meanwhile you sit on your ass all day commenting on UA-cam videos.
@@BaggyCreature49 u ok?
@@vanceapp1567 fantastic! Thanks for asking. Hope you’re well. Gonna go for a big ass shit in a minute
You guys are way off on the capacity. 16th Hole itself holds 20,000 per day. The tournament attendance is WELL OVER 200,000 on Saturday alone. For the last few years, total attendance from Thursday-Sunday is over 700,000 people.
I was a huge TV golf fan (it looks so damned great in HD), plus I'm a lefty so rooted for Phil "phirst". Tuned into Golf Channel almost daily. Then the whole LIV thing hit, and all the PGA had to do was welcome the competition like it does with European golf, Asian golf, DP World, etc. Plus, like your guest said, the Saudis sponsor a shit-ton of LPGA events, and Golf Channel covers them no problem (with pretty good ratings, I'd guess). For majors and select Tour events, let the LIV guys play!
Instead, because the PGA banned LIV golfers, its events are watered down and draw less interest (from me, at least).
Golf Channel should *COVER* LIV events along with all the others. It would grow the game instead of politicizing it.
Maybe it's just me, but I hardly ever turn on Golf Channel now. I'll watch the Masters, of course, and probably the other majors, but weekly Tour events no longer interest me. Sad...and a shame.
If LIV had stuck to a 4 round weekend with a cut it would have been a equivalent comp. 3 round no cut is thier failing.
@@krusher74 Why does it matter? Let them do their thing - televise it (fills out "dead slots" on Golf Channel) - then have PGA events like normal. LIV players can pick and choose (subject to qualifying like always); Tour events would have been that much more competitive and interesting (especially with new rivalries). Not too late if they want to grow both the game AND audience!
' Have fun' I've seen a LIV golf contract that a golfer posted and it was a fkn nightmare! It was much more prescriptive than PGA contracts.
Joe looking exceptionally Irish today.
Ah yes, American City; Boston.... How Irish 😂
@@BLACULA-Skeewoah you do realize that Boston is the center of Irish Americanism right? Have you seen the Departed? HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE DROPKICK MURPHYS, SIR!? SIR!!!???
Joe, have you read Mike Pompeo’s Book? In Order to understand Jamal’s situation from a technical perspective I Suggest you do. 3:33
Also people need to understand how transparent the trail was.
It’s almost impressive the way comedians give the worst possible takes
yup yup
The majority don't care or remember jamal keshobi, how trying to be clever but Andrew is right
Never forget..
"It's easier to play golf than learn how to kick someone"
-Joe Rogan
Fully agree with Ginger Santino ❤
