You, Colin Cowherd, have no values either. Jay Monahan must be fired! Rory Mcllory sided with the Saudi's too! He said that the Saudi's are, "one of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world." This is disgusting! Rory also said that "10 years down the line" the world will have forgotten about this. Never forget 9/11! A year ago, I wrote a letter to the PGA a year ago in support of them banning golfers who've betrayed our country to play for LIV golf. Now, the PGA supports genocide, LGBTQ hatred, and they've turned their backs on 9/11 survivors, and what does that say about our federal government that allows these kinds of mergers? It means what it's always meant. That money and power are more important than human life. This is a dark day in American history. It will get worse.

It's all about the PGA not wanting their financials opened up during the discovery phase of the lawsuit. That would have opened up a heck of an opportunity to challenge their "non-profit" status. The PGA flexed their nuts and got caught with their pants down.
Liv golf was failing. No attendence or ratings, but they were backed by 500 billion dollars. This was a hostile takeover. The PGA did good work for almost a hundred years - not a time to celebrate.
Great take by Colin. One addendum to this: the reason why the PGA kept “preaching” about morals and values is because they had to. They didn’t have the money to pay the players to stay but LIV did so they played the only card they could play which was “dirty saudi money”

PGA: LIV is all about money and we stay true to golfers’ best interests. We honor the sport and anybody who sells out and supports LIV should be ashamed. LIV: We’ll pay you. PGA: Aight bet!

Let's be clear too, this same Saudi fund owns big parts of every major sponsoring corporation of PGA events. So yeah, the moral high ground routine was always a little silly.
Please read the fine print of this deal. Folks (including Colin) are largely missing the story. This transaction puts a Saudi state employee as Chairman of the PGA-DP World Tour merger. The Saudi Public Investment Fund also is the primary investor of this organization and has exclusive, first refusal rights to any investment made to the PGA Tour. Also, the Tour is going from a non-profit to a for-profit. The Story here isn't that LIV golfers got paid. The story is that the Saudi government just strong-armed the PGA into selling. Now, the Saudis effectively own all of professional golf outside the majors, and will funnel the gains away from charity and towards the Saudi government programs. That is a massive, massive development.
China...along with Japan own about $2Trillion of US debt. Where's the screaming about that? The US has always sold, in the name of capitalism, to the highest bidder. The PGA wasn't strong-armed....it just had a price.
They're doing the same with hiring all the top footballers (Messi, Benzema, Ronaldo) and it's just as bad of an idea as when LIV was doing it. Whitewashing the human rights abuses of a totalitarian regime isn't exactly the same as voting for a democratic candidate even though you only agree with 2/3rds of their policies.
Some may have recourse against Monahan and PGA since he pretty much were blackmailed into staying on PGA or face a lifetime ban. Then he stabs them in the back.
Enough is never enough for Norman. More more and more please Norman. He’ll be remembered as the money hungry mediocre golfer with a cheaply made clothing line.
Your not understanding the amount of money the Saudi's have....after Brooks winning, more were going to leave and the PGA would be dead. You think the top guys aren't looking at what Brooks just did at the last 2 majors PLUS Liv tour money? Rahm Rory and Scheffller weren't going to say no to 200 million again. Their were already dumb not to take it last year. The PGA could only be as good as the Liv players now, so they had to merge. "Check and check mate in 3 moves"
Tough spot for the PGA, they couldn’t continue to have their stats defect. In order for them to hold the line, all big golfers would have to stay and eschew big figures.
Wasn’t tough if they actually believed all the human rights Saudi stuff. Those folks, many who don’t have people of color at their courses, could care less about human rights. No one believed them. They just wanted access to the Saudi money too. Hypocritical but we knew they were.
Yeah I haven’t heard anyone bring up that point. PGA tour would have to pay to keep golfers which they don’t want to do or could ever match LIV golf. So they were pretty much forced to merge. They still look like hypocrites but they rather that than go broke I think is what you’re saying. I don’t let them off that easy personally I think they just got offered so much money they couldn’t refuse.
@@willieadams3376 it’s kinda like 1976 with the ABA/NBA merger. They essentially were forced to merge. If you’re the premier golf league, you want to retain all of the best golfers. The 1976 merger was different in that the ABA was running out of money but the same basic premise where the ABA has a bunch of the best players including Dr. J. Liv Golf had huge resources where they could afford to lose money but pure top golfers in the process. Politics are complicated.
@@swpdisciple I can see what you’re saying but it’s hard to compare Dr. J (as great as he was) to a limitless amount of money that the Saudi’s have. I think that situation was completely different. Only one team from the ABA/NBA merger made out like a bandit.
@@willieadams3376 I was pointing to the principle of some of the best players in the world defecting and basically bidding against the product you created. At one point the ABA won most of the versus all-star games between them and the NBA. I’d say all 4 ABA teams absorbed made out, but yes, especially the Spurs. The owners got filthy rich off of it too.
I have one gripe. The people most against LIV were most often more popular and higher earners than the people who thought the LIV emergence was fair. The blue checkmarks (when they meant something) overwhelmingly condemned LIV and more anonymous accounts defended it.
They are also complaining on their iphones, which are powered by cobalt dug up by african children, wearing apparel made in sweatshops. Selective outrage.
Some may have recourse against Monahan and PGA since he pretty much were blackmailed into staying on PGA or face a lifetime ban. Then he stabs them in the back.
There is still 100% oil and blood money involved in the PGA Tour currently. I think the PGA Tour finally realized that the average fan was catching on to this.
Yep. Just one example was Shell sponsoring the Houston Open for a very long time. Not to mention all of the Nike money Rory, Tiger, and so many other professional athletes get while trying to preach about morals.
Listening to Colin Cowherd explain the corrupting influence of money in a way that makes the people who call it out sound bad rather than those corrupted by it is absolute LCD Colin
Rory was used like a red headed step child by the PGA. And he still believes it. They told him he was the greatest. He prances around like his is. Even though he hasn't won a major in 9 years.
The PGA Tour caved in like the ABA and WHA -- when those leagues crawled like bankrupt losers to the NBA and NHL, respectively, to sign "merger terms" that they had zero input in writing.
@@blaketindle4703 I kind of missed that being the official US stance on 911? How odd as we went to war with a complete different country. Be careful as to not promote silly conspiracy theories like Alex Jones. Strange Jack is building a golf course in SA too? I wondered if he thanked them.
What a great segment Colin so honest and right on. The judgement not just on this issue, but on many others in the world shows such blind hypocrisy. Fantastic thanks so much!
This actually kind of sucks for Brooks. He just got paid from LIV and won another major. He hates golf, and wanted to play less events now he will have to conceivably play a lot more events under this new entity.
Who, let's face it, has a lot of skeletons since, well, since his start in business and got a huge paycheck from Disney to sell nearly every TV station he owned (except the US version of FOX and FOX Sports plus his ventures in Australia) and both still had to get compromises in Mexico and Argentina.
Colin is my favorite sports analyst... Agree with his approach and opinions almost always! But for him to say he doesn't preach?!!? That's ALL he does 😂
This is the PGA tour trying to navigate a post Tiger world. He brought the game to unimaginable heights, and the tour is trying to maintain. I get the merger, but it happened faster than i thought. These types of events have historically been referred to as the Tiger effect.
Sadly Tiger has become a prop for the PGA tour. His leg appears to be permanently damaged, He struggles to walk 72 holes, he struggles to swing a club using only one leg. And this the thanks he gets. Something very bad is happening to golf. One man should not be making decisions for all of these players. Something has to give.
LOVE Colin's take on this. It is mine precisely. All the smug, self-absorbed, self-congratulatory, sanctimonious PGA jerks (players and others) wagging their fingers at the LIV golfers - delivering lectures in tones of high moral dudgeon - while all the time 90% of the PGA major tour sponsors did major business with the Saudis. You go Colin!
Imagine if you or I was Rory..... What would you do??? I know I'm calling my agent to see if that deal is still available, talk to lawyers if it isn't, and be hitting my head against a wall plotting someone's demise. 🤣😂🤣😂 He squandered hundreds of millions for a company's prestige.....that sould out a year later. Dumb move, no business man would ever tell you to refuse that level of money, almost never.
well those PGA execs didn't actually believe what they were saying. They were just duping the public with that narrative, doing whatever they needed to do to protect their business interests. The ones that look the most foolish are the fans that believed their moral facade.
People “sell out” for various reasons but the truth is almost everyone has a price. That’s not even necessarily a negative, its how people make money. David Bowie made several excellent critically acclaimed albums in the 70s that are still remembered to this day. Where did he make the most money? The 80s when he made more commercially acceptable music that has since been forgotten and partnered with Pepsi for a massive tour that was critically panned. It’s the same reason film directors make big-budget studio movies in between their more personal films. One pays for the ability to make the other happen.
No way! I mean what about the Saudi passports that survived all that fire? I thought it became a standard of the industry to wrap blackboxes with Saudi passports after that event. Oh wait. That was a crazy claim and a crazy story to destroy the relationship between the US and the competition in that region of the world.
@@HistoryFacts1000 Yeah that “indestructible passport” thing is SO ABSURD that I think it’s bad on purpose. I see a lot of that all over that event in 2001, but also on the world stage in general. Such as NASA and all those videos of astronauts hanging off wires when they’re supposedly in space. But yeah they should have just made the towers out of those indestructible passports. They’d still be here if that were the case.
How can Tiger and Rory even show their faces anymore. They were bent over and reamed by PGA , Tiger loses a billion from Liv and now the have him for free, 😂😂😂😂😂..
The reality is LIV would start to slowly decline if they continued to host golf events with no WGR points. No new talent is looking to join LIV because their performances would essentially mean nothing and does nothing to further their career. And the veterans on LIV are losing their world ranking points. LIV has now merged with multiple tours including the PGA in order to have OWGR points associated with their tour, and they paid a boatload to do so. All that means is that players can qualify for a PGA event even if they play on the LIV tour. No different than any other tour associated with OWGR.
Love Colin's sports analysis. Sell out your values for money? Not loving it. Money comes first? Do values matter? Lying, cheating, betraying, taking positions that get innocent people killed. Hey, if you were offered 200 million don't tell me you wouldn't think about it... How far does this logic go Colin? Any boundaries? Or does the argument hold that: hey, for life-changing money you'd probably think about flushing your values. First time I've disagreed strongly with this program. Been watching it for a few years and have always found it smart, insightful and usually interesting. This time though, here's my take: US culture needs more talk about values, not less, and less focus on money, not more. The greed makes me want to (insert finger in mouth here). We're about the same age Colin. You don't see what totally self-absorbed selfishness and dishonesty and reckless greed have done to the previously honourable ethics of this country? Let's think of a new concept: ethical intelligence. Does it matter? If it doesn't, the final chapter for humankind will be quite the opposite of peace and prosperity. Sorry for moralising. It's not meant to be an exercise in self-righteous. I've got my flaws and deficiencies like everyone, but I'm smart enough to see that Americans who can't afford to gate themselves off are now drowning in a toxic society. Do values have any to do with it? I'll let you be the judge. Would love to hear an analysis on that...
I threw up a little in my mouth hearing Colin who's probably already made his generational wealth say he'd have a hard time turning down 300 million. If youd ask what hed do with 300 million hed probably say reinvest it to make more money. Whats it all for Colin? In today age, it isnt individuals pushing for social change. Its corporations and sports. Kneeling at the national anthem, sports giving athletes a platform to speak of change. CEO donating millions to social causes, and companies virtue signaling (as gag inducting as it is sometimes). Golf has no high ground leg to stand on, sold out on morals and values.
Rory wants to punish the players that went to Liv but now the whole PGA tour went to Liv. Just plain hypocrisy from everybody. Everyone is just out for the money including Rory. Jay Monahan betrayed everyone, he got paid and new position so dealing with Saudi Arabia is fine for him now. The PGA tour players should be thanking all the Liv people because now everyone's making more.
Great that the tragic death of people is considered demolition in your dictionary. Please educate yourself about 911. Just ask yourself one question who benefited from that event.
If LIV paid players up to $200 million to play on their league, how much do you this the PGA commission was paid to give LIV the entire league ? Im sure it was a huge check, which is why he doesnt care what anything thinks.
I disagree to a point. The PGA was preachy sure but I think there was a point there and this deal feels more “I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse” than just selling out
"I love Jack Nicholson." HAHAHA Was he deliberately smashing Jack Nicklaus and Phil Mickelson together or completely missaid, or actually referencing the actor?
The Saudis are an integral part of the world economy so of course the US government and US corporation do business with them but there is a big difference between doing business with them and being OWNED by them. That should not be a hard distinction to make for a savvy businessman like Colin.

Colin, interesting premise, you are aware that Tiger and Rory “were offered cool stuff” right?
PGA doesn't have 700mill on hand to pay 10 players so they guilt trip them until they got offered some money and now all that stuff is out the window.
Colin Cowhead: 'I dont feel great about Saudi money, but...'
Cowhead
Sadly Tiger has become a prop for the PGA tour. His leg appears to be permanently damaged, He struggles to walk 72 holes, he struggles to swing a club using only one leg. And this the thanks he gets. Something very bad is happening to golf. One man should not be making decisions for all of these players. Something has to give.
The H Y P O C R I S Y ! I love it! 🤣
LOVE Colin's take on this. It is mine precisely. All the smug, self-absorbed, self-congratulatory, sanctimonious PGA jerks (players and others) wagging their fingers at the LIV golfers - delivering lectures in tones of high moral dudgeon - while all the time 90% of the PGA major tour sponsors did major business with the Saudis. You go Colin!
Imagine if you or I was Rory..... What would you do??? I know I'm calling my agent to see if that deal is still available, talk to lawyers if it isn't, and be hitting my head against a wall plotting someone's demise. 🤣😂🤣😂
He squandered hundreds of millions for a company's prestige.....that sould out a year later. Dumb move, no business man would ever tell you to refuse that level of money, almost never.
well those PGA execs didn't actually believe what they were saying. They were just duping the public with that narrative, doing whatever they needed to do to protect their business interests. The ones that look the most foolish are the fans that believed their moral facade.
Don't confuse Jay Monahan with everyone who maintained their morals.
@@desmondjefferson2127 go woke go broke
Brooks winning was a big part of this.
Yep, imagine if he would of won the masters, the haters heads would of exploded 😮
LIV's first order of business should be to demand fairness from the OWGR and get LIV tournament winners/runner-ups all qualified for the US Open.
Lol Colin just lectured people about lecturing others. This what elitism looks like. Do as I say not as i do
He was right though.
9/11 families might not think he’s right
The shot heard around the world
Was it Brooks or DJ maybe Cam it’s so wonderful
Rory welcome to LIV
One of colins best and realest segments ive seen in awhile
Colin needed 7 figures to do reads for Liv Golf
He should prove this, who, what and Where?
I really hope they haven't already wrapped up filming for the next season of Full Swing🤣 please tell me they have cameras up in Canada.
Same reason Americans in Debt 💸 buying instead of creating and building their own.
This rant is why i have been watching for 8 plus years. Love it Colin
Man i hate when i agree with Colin (it happens way too often...) but he is dead on balls accurate here.
No one on the PGA side will use the word LIV. It’s now PIF, so childish.
Because.... Racism...
One of Colin’s best take 🔥🔥🔥
100 percent
People “sell out” for various reasons but the truth is almost everyone has a price. That’s not even necessarily a negative, its how people make money.
David Bowie made several excellent critically acclaimed albums in the 70s that are still remembered to this day. Where did he make the most money? The 80s when he made more commercially acceptable music that has since been forgotten and partnered with Pepsi for a massive tour that was critically panned. It’s the same reason film directors make big-budget studio movies in between their more personal films. One pays for the ability to make the other happen.
People take the money for survival and give there family a better life. Nuff said
LIV should have leaked the deal, and pull the rug on em.
All time great segment by Colin here
Saudi's paid him to do it
Love this take by Colin.
Morals don’t pay the bills. At the end of the day, you need money.
👏👏👏👍 Thank you.
They were playing chicken with litigation and LIV won. Shame on the PGA. US money has just as much blood on its hands. Golf is still soak in racism.
Remember that event in September 2001?
_Israel did it._
Hashtag NEVER FORGET
???
No way! I mean what about the Saudi passports that survived all that fire? I thought it became a standard of the industry to wrap blackboxes with Saudi passports after that event. Oh wait. That was a crazy claim and a crazy story to destroy the relationship between the US and the competition in that region of the world.
@@HistoryFacts1000
Yeah that “indestructible passport” thing is SO ABSURD that I think it’s bad on purpose. I see a lot of that all over that event in 2001, but also on the world stage in general. Such as NASA and all those videos of astronauts hanging off wires when they’re supposedly in space. But yeah they should have just made the towers out of those indestructible passports. They’d still be here if that were the case.
Watch Rory call into the show😂🤣😂🤣😂
How can Tiger and Rory even show their faces anymore. They were bent over and reamed by PGA , Tiger loses a billion from Liv and now the have him for free, 😂😂😂😂😂..
Never a truer word spoken about sport and saudi money, as sair the government inbed with them, people who hate the Saudi money should just move on.
The reality is LIV would start to slowly decline if they continued to host golf events with no WGR points. No new talent is looking to join LIV because their performances would essentially mean nothing and does nothing to further their career. And the veterans on LIV are losing their world ranking points. LIV has now merged with multiple tours including the PGA in order to have OWGR points associated with their tour, and they paid a boatload to do so. All that means is that players can qualify for a PGA event even if they play on the LIV tour. No different than any other tour associated with OWGR.
When old people get to talking about morals and values....watch your wallet...
Here here
Great stuff, Colin!
Raise your hand if you think that there's a possibility that Colin is on the Saudi payroll.
Love Colin's sports analysis. Sell out your values for money? Not loving it. Money comes first? Do values matter? Lying, cheating, betraying, taking positions that get innocent people killed. Hey, if you were offered 200 million don't tell me you wouldn't think about it... How far does this logic go Colin? Any boundaries? Or does the argument hold that: hey, for life-changing money you'd probably think about flushing your values. First time I've disagreed strongly with this program. Been watching it for a few years and have always found it smart, insightful and usually interesting. This time though, here's my take: US culture needs more talk about values, not less, and less focus on money, not more. The greed makes me want to (insert finger in mouth here). We're about the same age Colin. You don't see what totally self-absorbed selfishness and dishonesty and reckless greed have done to the previously honourable ethics of this country? Let's think of a new concept: ethical intelligence. Does it matter? If it doesn't, the final chapter for humankind will be quite the opposite of peace and prosperity. Sorry for moralising. It's not meant to be an exercise in self-righteous. I've got my flaws and deficiencies like everyone, but I'm smart enough to see that Americans who can't afford to gate themselves off are now drowning in a toxic society. Do values have any to do with it? I'll let you be the judge. Would love to hear an analysis on that...
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤
So the WPGA can play in burkas and did Colin ever say Colin Kaep should be quiet and just play?
Why I have always liked Colin...common sense views...
I threw up a little in my mouth hearing Colin who's probably already made his generational wealth say he'd have a hard time turning down 300 million. If youd ask what hed do with 300 million hed probably say reinvest it to make more money. Whats it all for Colin?
In today age, it isnt individuals pushing for social change. Its corporations and sports. Kneeling at the national anthem, sports giving athletes a platform to speak of change. CEO donating millions to social causes, and companies virtue signaling (as gag inducting as it is sometimes). Golf has no high ground leg to stand on, sold out on morals and values.
Rory wants to punish the players that went to Liv but now the whole PGA tour went to Liv. Just plain hypocrisy from everybody. Everyone is just out for the money including Rory. Jay Monahan betrayed everyone, he got paid and new position so dealing with Saudi Arabia is fine for him now. The PGA tour players should be thanking all the Liv people because now everyone's making more.
I don't give two squats that the US government was dealing with Saudi Arabia.
Colin’s right, Saudi Arabia has been very involved in the demolition industry ever since 9/11
Great that the tragic death of people is considered demolition in your dictionary. Please educate yourself about 911. Just ask yourself one question who benefited from that event.
Colin should debate Chris Hedges.
If you think somehow that the money behind the pga is somehow "cleaner" than liv golf, think again
I watch you for football takes and not a fan of golf, but this is one of the best takes ever! Simply the truth!
If LIV paid players up to $200 million to play on their league, how much do you this the PGA commission was paid to give LIV the entire league ? Im sure it was a huge check, which is why he doesnt care what anything thinks.
I disagree to a point. The PGA was preachy sure but I think there was a point there and this deal feels more “I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse” than just selling out
you think tiger and Rory wanted to turn down $500M and $800M. publicly shaming someone using 9/11 as a bargaining chips disgraceful and disgusting.
@@SaharaKnows what’s that gotta do with what I said?
That’s the first step of many changes to come in all sports, stay tune!!!!!!
Love this guy, tells it like it is.
Isn't it more about yet another entity from the US being sold to a foreign financier?
Colin Cowherd: slime ball extraordinaire.
"I love Jack Nicholson." HAHAHA Was he deliberately smashing Jack Nicklaus and Phil Mickelson together or completely missaid, or actually referencing the actor?
"I'm a PGA. "
Joe Biden quote.
No seriously. It is.
The Saudi Open now the 5th major?
Or replace the PGA tournament.
The main thing I got from this is “ignorance is bliss” if you’re getting paid loads or want to be paid loads.
The Saudis are an integral part of the world economy so of course the US government and US corporation do business with them but there is a big difference between doing business with them and being OWNED by them. That should not be a hard distinction to make for a savvy businessman like Colin.
Depending on the circumstances having morals in this world will get you killed this is a sick world we live in.
So, pretty much the PGA got bought out.....
Spot on. Our Government has been in deep with Saudi and/or anyone that will benefit them.
