Even the top golfers on the PGA Tour are now calling to make a deal with LIV before its too late. Rory said something similar a few weeks back. They see the writing on the wall here.

Why would he want that turd Sergio Garcia on his team?

I won't watch the Saudi backed tour but that doesn't mean others won't. I did quit watching golf for several years at one point after the Payne Stewert tragedy. I knew Payne and played some with him and his dad as well. It's been long enough now for me to say we even burned a fatty together on the course one day. I watch a lot these days. PGA and LPGA alike.

I would think plenty will watch, so long as they get themselves a TV deal.

And my parents actually knew Payne as well. Sad day that was.

Did you wear the same ugly pants as him as well?

Haha! No that was his deal. As I remember he usually wore shorts unless he was playing an event. He pulled that off with great style though.

Would've hated to be the pilot who pulled the trigger on that jet

There was some speculation in the media that the fighter jets were prepared to shoot down the Learjet if it threatened to crash in a heavily populated area.[citation needed] Officials at the Pentagon strongly denied that possibility. Shooting down the plane "was never an option," Air Force spokesman Captain Joe Della Vedova said, "I don't know where that came from."[8]

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien authorized the Royal Canadian Air Force to shoot down the plane if it entered Canadian airspace without making contact. He writes in his 2018 memoirs, "The plane was heading toward the city of Winnipeg and the air traffic controllers feared that it would crash into the Manitoba capital. I was asked to give permission for the military to bring down the plane if that became necessary. With a heavy heart, I authorized the procedure. Shortly after I made my decision, I learned that the plane had crashed in South Dakota."[9] Chrétien relates that Stewart was "an excellent golfer, whom I knew and liked very much."

Despite what that Air Force spokesman said, it seems it very much was an option.

Always thought they had

The tour would catch hell if they made a deal with LIV. These guys murder people they disagree with. Even Mickelson said they’re bad MF’ers.

I agree they’re in a bad spot but I think as long as they don’t lose Tiger or Rory they can survive.

I think they'll take catching hell for a few days over losing their entire business.

And Tiger Woods isn't even going to play more than a couple of PGA Tour events a season going forward (if that) because he has to focus on the majors. His body won't allow it.

Rory had 36 putts on Sunday. You aren't going to win the British Open doing that.

He had so many that he just missed. Eventually you have to make a putt if you want to win.

That was Cam Smith on Saturday - couldn't hit a putt to save his soul until #18. Then, that dude took off like a rocket. His game is absolutely perfect for St. Andrews. He keeps the ball in play and he can putt like a God.
