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….

With the possible exception of the Ukraine fiasco, the Chinese Communist Party is our one and only potential existential threat. Not to mention their multiple attempts to exterminate religious populations and their racist attitudes about anyone who isn't Han Chinese, especially blacks.

But our government(both major political parties) and corporations have put short term self interests above our long term national security.
And considering that the Saudis have made closer ties with Israel and is a strong ally against Iran, I can not get worked up like I used to about the middle east kingdom because at least they are moving in the right direction.
