Rumors that tomorrow a big swath of players are moving to LIV…names include Cam Smith, Matsuyama, Leishman, Bubba Watson, and Henrik Stenson who would then be stripped of the Ryder Cup captaincy.
Cantlay, Fowler, and David Feherty linked too…. |

One of the great things about the PGA is that they create a lot of proceeds for charities. I don't know that LIV will do that but it seems to be more of a greed based operation.

The PGA Tour is going to be forced to make a deal with that "complete sham" in the next year or they will completely cease to exist as they have for the past several decades. LIV is only going to continue grabbing more and more of their top players until there is little left. These guys are professional golfers who play golf for money, they'll leave the political/social/moral implications of that decision to others to debate.

LIV has no TV deal, no one they’ve signed is a true needle mover, they don’t have the tournaments/history/venues the PGAT does and their product is garbage considering there’s ZERO incentive to win or compete and the format is hilarious. Golf fans aren’t going to move over in droves and the general sports fan could care less. |

As LIV continues to take more and more of their top players, the networks are inevitably going to come to the PGA Tour to demand that they rework their television contracts. To avoid that, they're going to have to fold and let the banned LIV guys back in because it's simply good business to do so (it would also be likely illegal if they didn't given that the players are officially independent contractors but that's another issue entirely).

Also, as far as true needle movers (if Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau don't count for some reason), it sounds like they are about to get the #2 golfer in the world/current Open Champion in Smith. There's absolutely no way that's going to be the last elite guy they're going to get given the amount of money they're throwing around now either. I'm struggling to find where the incentive is for any of them to stay with the PGA Tour? Quote:

Yep and there is only one Major attributed to the PGA. The Masters, US Open, and The Open are run under different organizations. The PGA championship could fall into the Ocean and no one would really notice. The writing is on the wall, the PGA will have to compete for talent.

I guess we'll see next year after they've taken half of the best players in the world from the Tour. Assuming they get a TV deal from someone (and why wouldn't they be able to? Networks are in to making money, not taking moral positions), I'd assume they'll do just fine in that regard.

They're in trouble and the sooner they recognize that and make a deal with LIV, the better for their chances of remaining anything close to what they are. It makes no sense at all as a business model to continue banning your top players from competing in your own events. |
