Default So, I've learnt what "judicial admissions" are. . .

Fascinating background.

How the shocking PGA Tour-LIV Golf deal went down - ESPN

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 problem. Phil should be playing with Fred, Bernard and all of the other over 50 ers etc

Have been following this fellow's podcasts and have found his insights to be the best I've seen on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjUC7HEa0aU

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.
