A few months ago, they hated each other. Now it is pure love and potentially more $$$$

PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf.

If it is true, it is a good thing for golf - for the players and the fans.

But for those people who hated LIV, they won’t be able to watch golf anymore because of the Saudi connection!

LIV wins!

Anything for $$$$$

Yikes. Imagine Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson in the same foursome at their first event.

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.’

Bet Tiger and Rory not very happy with PGA. They turned down 800 and 500 million respectively trying to do the right thing. Defended the PGA at every turn.

Morals or money, hmmmm! Guess who won!

I feel so bad for them. NOT!

What are all the LIV haters going to watch now if it's All-for-One and One-for-All??

Yes their might be separate "leagues", but all the money will be flowing thru one Operating Entity so all that so-called dirty money will be touching the PGA.
(it was touching already, but now "you" can't deny it)

They are both doing ok. Tiger has a net worth of more than $1 billion and Rory is worth about $170 million.

Tiger made about $70 million last year and Rory makes about $50 million a year. Most of that is from endorsements.

If you are worth that much, you can afford to turn down the LIV offer.

Pretty sure this is end game Norman envisioned. Also pretty sure PGA and Monahan threw in the towel when the lawyers told him they were gonna lose BIG on the antitrust suit.

I'm not a huge Greg Norman fan, but it's heartening to see Greg get the best of Monahan, who's a buffoon.

According to Monahan & the PGA, the LIV guys were the biggest scumballs on earth a week ago (to say nothing of that other dufus, Seth Waugh) and now they're all partners and the PGA Tour is accepting all that "blood money".

It only cost the PGA about $500,000,000 in additional purse money to get where they are now.

Great strategic moves by Monahan.

Monahan did not come off well during the CNBC interview today.

How much control does he have over PGA decisions? He seems like an empty suit.
