What a disaster for their families listening to folks lost you. Cost that group alone over 1 Billion Dollars.

They made their decisions based on what was best for them and their families at the time. If they felt that was the right decision then, then i'm sure they are still very comfortable with their decision today. Not sure why you feel the need to claim it's a disaster for their families. not every makes their decisions solely on money.

Looking for the same outrage at the PGA that was thrown at the players for taking the bag. It won't happen tho.

If it doesn't happen now, you can be certain there will be penalties for players and media that speak out about it in the future. The Saudis control the messaging tightly in their other sports enterprises, from players expressing themselves to media access.

It's always about the money and it will always be about the money. Liberals: Saudi Arabia :: Conservatives: Bud Light. People will just complain about values until it conflicts with their pockets because we are all whores

100%. Fear of getting cut up and stuffed in a bag will now reign. This should end most opinion sharing.

Next question: do the Saudis buy the Golf Channel?

is there a bigger whore on these boards than DR?

(assuming @Donkey Deac Doug 's mom doesn't post)

I'm just glad the LIV players achieved their dream of creating more competition and breaking up the monopoly in professional golf.

So after trashing players for taking Saudi cash and running an organized smear campaign, the PGA tour also took the Saudi bag. Got it.

Yeah, this sucks. Dirty whores, the lot of them. I don't need to watch any more golf anyway.

You think Monahan has butterflies in his stomach?

Just goes with the territory. If you want to get paid you have to get your ass chewed occasionally.

Of course I get my ass chewed for significantly less money than Monahan makes and would trade places with him to be compensated for that 90-minute ass chewing.

I mean for viewers I think this ends up as a win. I don't have any stake in the PGA so I don't care. The LIV folks were all whores for leaving and the PGA are all whores for taking the same money now. But for viewers it's a win from a golf perspective it seems.

What if you're a viewer who can no longer stomach watching?

Today's meeting between Monahan and the players at the Canadian Open should be lots of fun.

If they do you can be certain of 2 employees on the chopping block.

You're in the minority. Just like with soccer and F1, most people will still tune in.

How do the players allow Monahan to keep his job after he used them as a shield while negotiating this deal behind their backs?
