Isn't he still a PGA member??

Yes
 
Ryder cup is about playing for your country. It’s not about playing for Brandal Chamblee or the PGA or LIV. European players play on the European tour? The best players should be selected. This isn’t about politics.

After that, under our current rules, they may apply for PGA’s Reserve Member classification. A3 members who resigned or are no longer PGA TOUR Members (suspended) are still PGA of America members.”

Therein lies the $$$ hypocrisy. You are out ---------- except.........
Thanks for posting these rules.

Koepka on Rider Cup
 
Rather lose than win with Koepka on the team.

Yes

Definitely no.
Same for Scottie Scheffler. Want him off the team also.
He is playing far too well, and consistently.
Go Europe! :icon_wink:

Blood Money

Bellavita 05-23-2023 12:59 PM
No. Blood money from Saudis I can’t tolerate people who took the money to make killer’s lose k ok. Not to mention women’s rights.

Money is the root of all evil.
Where is their moral compass?
Lets your kids make their own money. That is a sorry excuse.

dewilson58 05-23-2023 01:08 PM
Seems to be a money trail from Saudi purchasing merchandise from companies who pay the TV networks for advertising who pay the PGA.

Double Standard for LIV haters???


:shrug:

[QUOTE=hypart;2220139]If someone like Justin Thomas, a critic of the LIV lawsuit, says I won't play with Koepka, not likely Johnson will pick Koepka to be on the team.

In that case then Thomas should be dropped, if Koepka can legitimately play

The PGA is in bed with China. I don't understand why are people more upset with Saudi Arabia than they are with China.

The PGA Tour’s Sportswashing Problem in China – InsideSources

And a few PGA players played in the Saudi International this year. Cameron Young, a PGA member who is right now in the top 6 in Ryder Cup points, finished second.

According to this survey, China has a worse human rights record than Saudi Arabia (the lower the number, the better the rating - it is like golf).

You are confused. Brooks is currently a member of the PGA of America. He is not a member of the PGA Tour.

LOL. Virtually every western country has assassinated and killed innocents, stolen resources, etc etc

PS. I don't think allowing biological males to compete in women's sports is a shining beacon for women's rights.
