Spot-on. Six months ago I was totally against the guys flipping to LIV. But after a lot of reading and hearing all sides, my views flipped.
I now feel that PGA was a monopoly and stuck with their history and stale policies.
I thought deeply about what I might do if I was in a pro golfers shoes. And pretty sure that I’d flip for many reasons - primarily the $$$, both the signing bonus, better schedules, and higher winnings.
Odd how the PGA has increased payouts for most tour events now. Competition does work. But PGA is determined to NOT have this. Sad.
According to LIV their 54 signed participants is over and done. So apparently any other PGA guys who want to flip may be shut out.
When LIV signs a TV deal their popularity will explode.
So be it. I do hope that LIV does continue to grow. I know, the Saudi thing. But how about the NBA with their close ties to China??? Shh….
