PGA, DPWT, LIV Merger

[rockyhyder]

For several months the PGA and their media lapdog the Golf Channel has demonized Phil Mickleson and other golfers for taking blood money from the Saudi backed LIV golf tour. Needless to say today’s merger announcement has been especially entertaining to watch the Golf Channel try to explain the PGA’s capitulation. One look at the Saudi checkbook and they folded faster than a cheap tent!
