Saudi World Golf Tour 2022/2023 Thread

He and Scheffler can commiserate about the putting thing. Scheffler would have won the last 4 weeks if he had hit just the occasional 8-15' putt.

Buckets, I saw Hovland caddying this a.m. on TGC. He has quickly become 1 of my favorite players and seems like a genuinely great dude. I also thought it was cool that Rory watched the whole last round of the DP in Hamburg where his fellow countryman Tom McKibbin won his 1st pro tourney.

that's awesome

hovland, by all accounts, is a really good dude and one of my favorite players as well

my wife does wonder why his pants are so tight though

PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf

The PGA Tour is merging with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf, following months of tensions and mounting lawsuits between the competitors.

t.co

LIV and PGA Tour have entered into a merger agreement. Shocking.

He has a no hands golf swing. Period. That’s why he’s a short hitter.

Wrong, he's top 15 in driving distance on the Champions Tour at a 287.9 average at 56 years old as well. Yeah, he's never been a bomber, but he's always hit it plenty long enough.

Not shocking! The PGA had to come to their senses after Koepka won the PGA and realize what they were missing!

This is nuts man.

Brandel Chamblee and Eamon Lynch are going to be eating shit for the rest of their careers.

I mean the PGA had high leverage in the lawsuits. This is likely just the LIV folding back into the PGA right? With maybe two high profile events agreed for locations the PGA wasn’t already going?

 

[06deacon]

You mean that awesome team golf concept is going away? Nooo.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Didn’t see it includes the European tour too. Wow. Just gonna be a mega tour. Feels like an absolute boon for viewers honestly. Gonna likely mean higher profile events across the calendar across the globe. I’m in

 

[DeacHawk]

Now everyone will be talking about the Aces

 

[Biff Tannen]

So how much of the tour is now going to be owned by the Saudis ?

 

[Liquid Karma]

Fucking awful.

Monahan: "This transformational partnership recognizes the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and pro-competitive model and combines with it the DP World Tour and LIV – including the team golf concept – to create an organization that will benefit golf’s players, commercial and charitable partners and fans."

I assume this means the suspended players will be back on tour.

So is the PGA Tour no longer in existance? Is it owned by the Saudis?

I cannot imagine how pissed the fringe PGA Tour guys that turned down the LIV payday are

I hate this news for Bill Haas and others like him. Could have taken care of his family for generations.
