My own opinion is that LIV has diluted the competition and star power.

Complacency by the PGA, now they are playing catch up. Happens with most monopolies when competition starts to erode their position. Plus if you complain about the Saudi's money and their social position, why aren't you complaining about the Corporations that are taking their money?

I wish I had put some money on Mickelson making the cut and Rory missing it!!

I used to like Scottie Scheffler until I saw the recording of him purposely walking right in front of Cam Smith’s line as he was crouched down reading his putt. It was a major breach of etiquette and clear as day to me it was an intentional act. It was also no coincidence it happened right after Cam’s intentions to join LIV went public. It’s OK to disagree with players jumping to LIV, but don’t carry your feelings to the course and breach etiquette. That was a major A hole move. Scottie should be thanking the highly ranked players that jumped to LIV, which resulted in significantly higher purses now being paid on the PGA tour.

On another note, a LIV player (Brooks Koepka) is currently leading the Masters by 4 strokes.

Some will have a good tournament, others, not so good. Lots of talking heads spouting their after the fact "genius". Cheers and groans. In the universe, nothing much changes.

I hadn’t seen it but I found it online.

Everybody calm down, Scottie Scheffler didn’t intentionally walk across Cam Smith’s line … probably | This is the Loop | GolfDigest.com

Golf Digest seems to excuse it as not being intentional.

True. Years ago, Byron Nelson won a whole string of tournaments when guys like Hogan and Snead went off to war.

I found it amusing that LIV (Roman Numerals for 54) players made the cut. An omen?

[Rainger99]

Three of the top six were LIV - Koepka, Mickelson, and Reed.

Jon Rahm won $3.24 million for winning the Masters today.

Last week, Brooks Koepka won the LIV Golf League event in Orlando. The first prize last week was $4 million.

Gary Player and Nicklaus are right: The Masters is the weakest major

Great match with a mixture of both leagues.
