Well they kinda did lose $$$...............If the players knew the PGA was going taking blood money in the end.............the players could have taking the LIV money, waited a year for the merger and been back on the PGA.

Dunne raised eyebrows last week when he told the Golf Channel that he is convinced the Saudis he dealt with weren't involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "I am quite certain -- and I have had conversations with a lot of very knowledgeable people -- that the people I'm dealing with had nothing to do with it," he said. "If someone can find someone who unequivocally was involved with it, I'll kill them myself."

No love lost. Anger runs deep>>

Earlier this week, Mickelson trashed Rory McIlroy on Twitter, saying the LIV Tour would fit him perfectly but no team would want him because they would have to ‘deal with all of his bs.’

No problem. Phil should be playing with Fred, Bernard and all of the other over 50 ers etc

Doesn't matter how many times they say it................the PGA is not in control.

The board of directors of the new entity is not in control.
