Hurts to say, but lifestyle, family time, and certainly BIG Bucks speak loudly.
Most of us have a price. And for those guys LIV hit the target. Not wanting to get into the Saudi thing, but the +s sure negate that negative.
Putting myself in a 35 year old PGA pro, and receiving an offer as they are…. Yikes tough to ignore.
I -kind of- admire guys like Rory, but money talks. And for those PGA pros with a healthy bank account, they have it made. Stick with PGA.
But Finally, a golfer said I did it for the money when going to LIV. I actually don’t recall who finally said it, but Finally a Switcher was honest.
I watched some of the John Deere match this weekend but became bored without the big names playing. Just saying.
Some of the LIV changes to the tourneys are quite god and I have watched some of the Portland match on Facebook. Was interesting. But LIV will need sponsors and a TV coverage deal to really succeed in the USA.
Competition is good and the PGA is getting it head-on.

Felt the same way as you did and nobody should be condeming the players. It is a win win situation for them financially. On the other side, I ? the biz model of this league, especally with the up front money, high prize money, no TV contract and competion with the PGA. Doubt that any business who has to answer to board members, stock holders would be in this biz. To make matters worse they are signing up older, past their prime, players and un tested up comers. Pat Perez(46 years old) has won 3 tournament in his career and he was just signed up. Could you imagine what Tiger would have received if he was in his prime.
Only time will tell. Saudi's do have a bottom less pit. Wonder how much personal money Greg has at stake. Bet nothing.
