The most bizarre thing about growing up in America is realizing we’re just as corrupt as other major countries and then realizing most people never recognize it.
We lost that Light Upon The Hill status a long time ago..
I'm always shocked when I meet people who don't realize this.. full grown adults that think the U.S. is just "the good guys" all the damn time lol
There’s a false equivalence here. I get it. America is corrupt, but there are levels to this. There are degrees and a spectrum to corruption, and it’s just not accurate to say that America is equivalent to the Saudis in this regard.
@@ATLsF1N3ST91 the corruption was coming to an end in the early 70s and then NEO-LIBERALISM arrived in the 80s and never left creating a completely corrupt society & world
I've had this same thought many times. Well said.
There is no way they should be allowed to keep their non-profit status if the deal goes through. Absolutely tax the living hell out of them.
Did you read the graphic? It said a for-profit entity.
@@nldmaster but did you listen? They still filed for nonprofit tax exemption after claiming to be for profit.
Did you read it it’s say they retain tax free exemption and still are a for profit
Shoot first, ask questions later
They're likely losing their tax exempt status (under govt investigation). What the hell, let the Saudis pay the taxes.
What kind of Bribe Money did Jay Monaghan accept to allow this? The man should be thrown out of his job. He is a total disgrace.
I'd bet good money the Discovery phase of the lawsuit would have exposed the nature of the PGA tour business and led to the challenging of the PGA "nonprofit" status.
They just brought golf. The PGA tour is in trouble aside from LIV. PIF may have just made the most fortuitous move ever.
@Andrew Gillie Yep. The PIF reportedly has $700 billion to invest in sports/business. We don't know the number but say they bought the PGA for $10billion. It's a drop in the bucket. Scary money
@D C that's it mate, there's very few sports they can't "own".......or countries for that matter
PGA's whole thing was how terrible LIV was. Now they go from "Funded 9/11" to "Hey we are partners with these great people" Very Very QUICK.
Like everything else in this life, it comes down to money. The Saudis threw enough of it at the PGA till they hit the magic amount.
Get with it. After 9/11 everyone BUT the Saudis were targets. Went after Iraq for no reason other than use the attack to exploit an irrelevant nation for its resources and to establish a permanent base in foreign territory. The Bush family flew Osama bin Laden's family to safety within the states for f***'s sake because they were cash cows for America. US hypocrisy in the face of capitalism is a tale as old as the nation itself.
That was BS propaganda to hide theiir real reason for opposing LIV Golf: Control of all golfers. The PGA Tour wanted a monopoly. LIV Golf was becoming too strong to the point that the PGA either merged or slowly go out of business.
The morality of the thing was always destined to go out of the window. I'm just shocked they found the right price so quickly.
Yep. They always went for this moral argument when the XFL argument/critique was much stronger. Now they look like complete shills.
Imagine being one of the golfers that turned down a 100 million dollar Liv offer only to end up merging with them anyways 😂
lol
Rory
Hahahahahahahahahaha
They chose poorly! Like not buying Bitcoin early and dumping it.
Tiger Woods was offered equity in LIV & 1 Billion. If he said yes he would literally own the PGA now.
Phil and his gang sipping champagne, Rory and his gang recovering from the right-left-uppercut they just received, and The PGA Tour sold out again.
HUH? Those LIV guys now gotta reapply for reinstatement in the PGA... lol! There is no LIV Tour anymore.
@@lakeozarkrei3767yeah reinstated with a PHAT wallet
Phil was right the whole time.
Tony from PTI predicted that this was going to happen the first time he talked about LIV….so hats off to him
I’m 27 having watched PTI since I was 11 and I am glad that PTI are still around it’s been 7 years since I stopped watching ESPN once it became Dan Lebatard and sports nation, shows that never took off due to trying to plz the younger audience, and not just talk about sports like Tony and Micheal.
You can’t make this stuff up😂 PGA bashed LIV and all the golfers for taking “dirty money” and now they are doing the same
Now let’s see in Brandel will quit his job…..my sense is he won’t.
All this dirty money business is embarrassing lmao...american money is just as dirty lmao
Get that money, Saudi's own golf now, fall into line, you hear
The Dirty Money monologue was always a bunch of crap. The PGA wanted to denegrade LIV because the PGA Tour stood to lose control. players and most importantly MONEY. It's always been about the money.
@@abefroman4715 Brandel works for Golf Channel, not PGA Tour. So this dont affect him. Gives him more material to cry about every day.
PGA talked so much trash only to go join them.
How to lose your credibility in 1 day. This wasn’t what I expected
PGA This Entire Time "More Blood Money!!!!
You must be kidding. The PGA Tour as 38 sponsors that do business in Saudi Arabia. The have done business in China forever. What's not to believe?
This is the USA,Inc. This country is moved by greed and corruption. 😂
The PGA tour had credibility? Maybe you missed the early press conferences. Jay was only ever complaining about losing money. This was always about money. Want it to change? Stop giving them your money.
@@whatisrealknowtheformula6137
I’m a total casual when it comes to golf. I won’t pretend to be a hardcore follower or anything. I was under the impression it was economical issues as well as financial and human rights. That seemed to all go away with the mighty dollar so it makes sense what you’re saying
ABSOLUTEY DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR by the PGA Tour. Players stayed loyal to them and didn’t sell out to LIV for the money. And now that loyalty is shoved in their faces. Disgusting behaviour. DISGUSTING
It was never selling out, it was getting paid what they deserve to play the sport at the highest level. PGA was and has been the villain the entire time, people are just stupid or brainwashed that think otherwise.
Lolz
That was just a narrative the PGA used so they didn't look like such morons, they created this whole narrative. there's Saudi money in everything but they just used it to make liv the Big bad Wolf.
They should have taken the bag lime Brooks Koepka did
That’s business
Thanks for the great input.
This is a story of the PGA not wanting to open up their books to the public.
100% - I don't think this accomplishes what Phil/Greg wanted in the least. I mean maybe guys get to play ryder cup or something which would be a positive.
totally ... but the puppet's narrative will go around that for sure
Rich also stated the Saudi prince didn't want to be deposed in court either.
@@ww2remembered983 exactly it went both ways.
Neither does LIV.
Lets be real. If the Saudis just wanted to sponsor the PGA tour (instead of establishing their own thing), the PGA would have accepted the Saudi money from day 1.
The pga doesn't want to open their books in court. And yes, the pga just wanted to wait til the "saudia Arabia reaction calmed down a lot" now they are all in!
Exactly. I had no qualms against Saudi money but its just funny how quickly people will change their morals as soon as they can eat at the table. Now we're going to see alot of backtracking
And no one would've said a thing.
BTW, Rich says "let's ask the LPGA Tour... blah blah blah" HEY RICH, THE SAUDI'S ARE ALREADY INVESTED IN THE LPGA TOUR... Dummy
But then the lawsuits started and with that came subpoenas for financial records. PGA doin everything they can to keep the books out of public eyes.
Great video! Wow you can see how passionate about all this Rich is.
An excellent piece and every single word was well said and so many valid points made. 👏👏👏
Shouldn't surprise anyone. Randy Newman told us how it works a long time ago: "It's money that matters/You know that it's true/It's money that matters/Whatever you do."
I agree people are gullible
He also reminded us that short people got no reason to live. The man was a prophet.
The PGA with the most embarrassing holdout since Levon Bell from the Steelers
Underrated comment
😂
Amazing how the PGA suddenly came up with more money once LIV burst onto the Golf scene. 🤔
Phil, Greg and Golf Saudi have completely outsmarted everyone.
PGA tour members should immediately unionize and make this new tour collectively bargain with the players. All that bullshit about the PGA being the players tour means nothing.
Yes, they should model it off how entertainment industry unions work.
That's a good idea. If Jay hadn't been so greedy, he could have done this last year and the PGA would be well protected. And probably a very lucrative to professional golfers as a safety blanket, if nothing else. I don't see how Jay's employment survives this.
@@Golfzilla70 I think the issue is they are considered independent contractors and not employees of the tour and it’s considered a Non-profit. It’s all weird.
I’m generally against unions, but I think they better form a Union or they will get screwed.
@@wilc.2095 Sports unions like the NFL, MLB, and NBA have been extremely beneficial to players.
Tax the holy hell out of the PGA/LIV tour! For that matter, tax the NFL as well. Neither have been non-profits for decades!
I might be wrong here, but with the NFL the HQ is non profit, which accounts for only a small portion of the NFL. Each individual franchise is not tax exempt
This is such misinformation and flat out wrong.
The NFL, does not pay taxes, it funnels money to the teams, which do pay taxes.
It was only the league office that was ever “non-profit.” The teams, which get or generate over 90% of all the income, were always for profit businesses that had to pay taxes.
And I’m pretty sure even the league office got rid of their non-profit status a few years ago.
I was shocked when I found out the nfl wasn't taxed
@@johnsmith42688 read the replies of this very comment and you’ll realize the NFL is taxed.
I am disgusted!! So disappointed in the PGA!! This is all about money!! My heart is broken over the PGA bowing down to the Saudi's so quickly. There is no other reason for them to do this except the PIF threw in the right amount of money....BLOOD MONEY!! I'm ashamed of the PGA and feel terrible for the MEN principled enough to turn down the dirty millions they were offered! Terrible day! I'm done with golf!
So what is the problem with the merger ?
Well said, Middle Eastern oil states are completely ruining sport
I hate to inform u of this but a LOT of the things u consume & buy, the Saudi’s have their hands in it. The hypocrisy of ppl criticizing the PGA Tour for conducting BUSINESS is laughable. Those golfers who turned down the money for loyalty was stupid tbh
@@gregorydunston2952 "a LOT of the things u consume & buy, the Saudi’s have their hands in it." Besides some gasoline, what are you talking about?
@@gregorydunston2952 Don't forget China.
Love Rich Eisen! Great take!
Saudi Prince #1: We should have our own PGA tournament.
Saudi Prince #2, We should have our own golf league.
Saudi Prince #3. can't we just buy theirs?
Saudi King: Done
NOt what happened. It is a merger, not a buyout. That means the new company will be co-owned and a joint venture.
@Chris Kay If you believe that you are naive. The PGA tour is a bunch of elitist who sold their souls for a lot of money.
Yep, check mate! Merger or whatever we want to call it. No one thought the Saudis would host so many major sporting events, have several top pga golfers and one of the all time best soccer (football) players in the world playing for them 5 years ago. $$$$ moves things. They are moving it
Pretty sad. It's not like the PGA or these guys were starving for money. And to sell out to the saudis of all people. I wonder how many people in golf believe in freedom and all that when they get their check from the saudis. Literally selling out.
bravo
the PGA used 9-11 widows for there own gain how sick is that
LPGA is only afloat because Saudi money.
I feel for Jamal Khashoggi's family today as well. We all know people like Koepka hate journalists but not the PGA okayed it.
The PGA Tour was an American institution raising some of the best golfers in the world, Bobby Jones, Nicklaus, Palmer, Sam Snead, Tiger, Tom Watson. And now it's gone, all gone. The Saudi's own golf.
Guess we found the PGAs price
Yup...more Blood Money...that was what Jay Monahan has been screaming the entire time I guess...
@@Gambit2051 wrong, stupid!
That's exactly what played out. The Saudis threw enough Blood Money at the PGA till they hit the magic amount to get them to back down. So sad.
Not about the money it’s the monopoly total control just like the governments of the world
Let’s see what the loyal players do ?
A tradition like no other: the PGA - bought and paid for...
the endgame was always to buy the PGA Tour. They didnt care if LIV did well or not, they wanted to throw a ton of money to own it all. And it happened alot quicker than I think they thought it would
Smart. Look at what they are doing in the world of Futball, Tennis, Horse Racing, and even F1
Oil is about to disappear.... These boys are just converting their assets to the entertainment sector. Peak oil has been reached already.
Absolutely perfectly put, well said sir
Well said. What did he say except the pga tour players got screwed because the LIV players took the money and are now back and Trump.
The players can break away from this atrocity. Similar to the way the PGA tour was a break away from PGA of America. All is not lost, just most of it.
NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED NON-PROFIT!!!!
They did say it was a collectively owned for-profit venture
It’s for profit but they got tax exemption status
Every sports league is considered a non-profit
I agree...
@@colewarner4954 Just N.F.L., N.H.L., P.G.A. and L.G.P.A.. Not NBA and MLB, they opted out a decade ago.
Feel bad for the players who stood with the PGA, only for them to sell them out for Saudi money...
Yeah...like the PGA doesnt swim in saudi/chinese money...get out of here clown.
You know our government in in bed with them too right
100% agree
lol, the pga guys have played in saudi before anyways, they've taken saudi money before.
@@Mrmidtown1 lol are you daft? Direct millions of payouts from Saudi to play in a league is not the same, and also, most past tournaments in the Middle East are not played in Saudi and Dubai is UAE. Get informed 🤡
Well done, Rich!
Golf has just sold all of it's integrity down the river ! Sport is quickly heading down the plughole . Well done Rory ... 100% respect
I feel like Saudi Arabia just bought the whole sport of Golf and I hate it. It's absolutely disgusting.
lol stop being dramatic - the hate for LIV was overblown from the beginning. I promise you, there is something in your day-to-day life (prob quite a few things) that are backed by primarily Saudi money.
They won't stop at golf
💯
Then don’t watch it
It didn't. This is a merger, not a buyout. Both entities are coming together as one. IT will be co-owned by the PIF and the PGA Tours owners.
Exactly. The second I heard this, beyond the double take that everyone else did, was that it was the height of hypocrisy.
Every whore has their price - that is all there is to learn today - if you did not know that - now you do .
My first thought was it was fake news.
Thank you Rich
This is the best break down of the merger I have heard today!
Literally said “what if” about fifteen times during this segment. He didn’t break down anything, he reported his own biases.
It's time for Tiger, Rory, Colin and Jack to start up a new Tour.
First thing that came to mind as well.
Yea and no one watches them because they suck
My thought as well. If collectively they could have made a billion by joining LIV, they need to be compensated to stay in this new "Super Tour". By starting their own tour, it's hard to believe it wouldn't be worth multiple billions to them. They'd make more money AND look like the good guys. It would be stupid not to.
So just a foursome....😢
The fumbled the bag tour
I'm so happy that Prince Bone Saw gets to own golf. The PGA Tour is now a huge joke or whatever they're going to call this fiasco.
PGA made itself a joke when they started crying about LIV instead of working along side them. They’ve only proven it now by taking the money, which was the only thing they cared about to begin with.
Prince MBS should have just droned him. That way, American shills would find it acceptable.
Bonesaw is ready !!!!
@@Wyndamn so is the Sulthan
Golf wasn't already a joke of a so called sport? I mean you can be fat and still play.
Great take Rich
I never had problem about LIV and players who joined the LIV golf nor those who decided not to joined, you gotta make your own choice and live you life whatever you wanted to be, but man!!! this move make me so disgusted with PGA Tour
This is a slap in the face by the PGA to the tour player that stayed and has some character and didn't sell out for $ and to their fans and the fans that supported the PGA. I'm done with the PGA, will never watch or go to another PGA event!
Ok, you won't be missed
U.S.A. inc.
I’m with you. Won’t watch another tournament.
@@kippcozad8479 Why? It is in every sport and most businesses.
OK bot.
This is like the NBA just sold to the Chinese Government.
Not quite, since the NBA still runs the league proper. They just don't try to piss off or embarrass the Chinese. With this deal, the PIF/Saudis are a full partner with the PGA, and are directly running the tour together with the PGA. And have the right to approve anyone else who wants to invest in the tour. That's an extra layer of control that doesn't exist in the other major sports, even if they have individual foreign owners.
Stay tuned, that may be next!
Refreshing elementary jokes
Let’s not forget the PGA stopped playing a tournament at a certain ex prez’s golf course. LIV was playing at a certain ex Prez’s golf courses and now they merge. 🤔 Also the ex prez’s son in law received a $2 billion investment from the people who own LIV.
This is epic sports news. Gotta be top 50 sports stories of all time. This is unprecedented. Crazy.
Damn, Rich, you never cease to earn my respect.

@@Two2onefive 100%. Rich enjoys the luxury of never apologizing for serious topics he ends up being wrong about
Worst part about this is the defectors keep their pots of gold and the loyal members who have sacrificed personal friendships in some cases get nothing. This stinks. PGA blinked first.
@@softjones3128 have you suffered a head injury
@@softjones3128 well I see where the soft comes into play. Or is it a dual meaning for you
Agree. But I would say the golfers who left are the ones that sacrificed (sold) their friendships. The ethical golfers do not need to take those leavers back as friends.
@@vanguard9067If a golfer going to a different tour ends the friendship, it was never a friendship to start with.

There goes my interest in professional golf.
Are the TV networks still bound by their contracts to provide coverage of the Saudi Arabian Golf Tour?
This is Terrible for anyone NOT at the Top...
Your comment could apply to half of the news these days
Uhh what? The guys at the bottom are about to become far richer. The guys at the bottom of LIV Golf are making far more than most of the PGA Tour members.
This was exactly almost the same thing that happened years ago in football - with the money coming from the same source: OIL. Texas oil tycoons in the 1960's wanted to own football franchises but could not get a foot into the door of the NFL. So they started their own league and opened their wallets to pay top players more money than the NFL. Those early AFL franchises were losing a million dollars a year (big money then) but the owners did not care since it was the cache of owning a football franchise that they were after. Eventually the NFL had to settle and merge with the AFL to create modern league we now have. The same thing just happened in golf - with Saudi oil replacing Texas oil.
Interesting bit of history.
Texas Oil and Saudi oil are not the same thing. Unreal
@@TC-dw6wg How are they different?
Great insight and knowledge.👍 Thanks
@@violatione The Texas oil companies weren't going out there and killing journalists. Now if the US government was funding a sports league, one could make the argument its worse than the Saudis since we killed our own president in 1963.
I didn't see this coming either! To me, it was PGA All The Way and I admired Rory because for standing up for the PGA shield. Now the shield has been tarnished.. Sports washing is a word I hadn't heard until yesterday.. I love Chamblee!
As Nick Nolte said in Blue Chips “it’s about money! Just goddamn money!”
Rory and Tiger just got ran over by Jay Monahan and the Brinks trucks today. No matter how big you think you are, you are still only the boot maker to the kings.
No excuses, the tour has already dropped "Saudi" from PIF. If you're not a golfer, you have every reason to hate golf. The 4:00pm meeting today between tour players and Monahan is going to be great. Someone please live stream this.
Watch Tiger fall into line
When you mentioned how the LPGA feels about the PGA partnering with Saudi Arabia, there is an LPGA stop in Saudi Arabia, the Aramco Saudi Ladies, with a pile of cash that the tour found acceptable. Expect them to be getting with this deal
Welcome to the Aramco Saudi Ladies tour.
where white ladies play golf dressed in knickers and saudi ladies watch from the sidelines dressed in interverted garbage bags.
I can’t believe this happened. Rory, Justin, Tiger and the rest of the PGA advocates are going to be so pissed. Pissed that they are playing for the PIF now!
There were already anti-trust concerns. I would like to hear about whether/how those concerns are elevated in light of the proposed merger.
Rule 1 in life. Never let someone talk you into turning down money for "ethical" reasons.
Rich, correct, it's about getting the lawsuits dropped, but you didn't explain why. Your precious PGA didn't want their books opened up.
I about fell out of my chair roaring with laughter when he said Rory and tiger were "principled".
Rory maybe, Tiger not so much
Tiger turned down 700plus mil. Rory probably turned down at least 150mil. What else would you call that?
@@KaddywompousI'd call it....seriously pissed 😮
@@Kaddywompous did he wear nike? super principled company
You don't need to abide by every moral code to have principles. Are you perfect?
The moral compass by the players is a hack. They all play in 5 different European events in the Emirates. They didn't play in LIV, because their sponsors told them not to.
This. Thank you. What a bunch of rhetoric
The UAE is not Saudi Arabia. I'm not saying they're perfect, but they're not even close to the same in terms of human rights violations.
Nailed it!
i remember saying this was eventually going to happen either more defections or this the money was just way too crazy to turn down not too mention the anti trust lawsuit the pga is facing
PGA sold out... So disappointed with them.
This isn’t a sell out
@@kgrkid this is literally a sellout
But it was a pretty big check.
😂😂😂

@@squidwarddeep5064 No it is not a sellout. A merger is not a sellout. This is two sides coming together as one, not one side buying out the other.
Wow, never thought that was a chance...Anything can happen in sports!
Because "sports" is a racket.
Too much money not to work - get it done !
Just 5 years ago no one would of thought the Saudis would be hosting so many major sporting events, get several or more of the top pga players and one of the alltimr best soccer players of all time. It happened pretty quick. $$$$ moves things
There’s a reason why more people golf outside the states than inside the states is because green fees and memberships are so outrageously priced.. it’s so expensive.. they don’t care about growing the game, it’s money
PGA: I mean what did they really do if you think about it 🤣
Where is Rory?! Can he step down off his high horse?!
He only criticized the lack of competition and the silly format LIV was going to use. He never criticized the Saudi involvement. It was Jay Monahan who took the moral high ground.
so we’re blaming rory for the pga tour selling out without consulting their players?
I used to watch golf every weekend, but for during football season. Over the last couple years I've slowed down but still watched every single major and some others. Now I'm done altogether. You do you PGA, but I'm not coming with.
😢😢
You better stop watching NBA too since they do business with China
I’m sure they’ll all go out of business because your not watching
BYE!
Lol, yes you will
Tiger really gave up a Billion just to have the PGA merge with Liv months later
Loyalty is its own reward.
To quote the great American Philosopher Ted DiBiase, "Everybody's got a price"
Rory, Scotty, Tiger, Colin, etc didn't.
There needs to be another American Tour forned to counter this
Hahahaha!!!!!
Totally agree..but good luck going up against trillionares..
cope
Haha so you advocate to do what LIV did amd breakaway from the Tour? Haha SUFFER ya LOOZER
The Saudi investment fund is around 650B (just fyi)
What is this new tour going to be called? Will it be called the PIF Tour? Will there be PGA events some weeks and LIV events other weeks?
Another example of the chase of the brass ring is all that matters.
I'll continue to play golf but this is a moral issue for me, so watching professional golf is done.

Not to sound arrogant, but how are people surprised that this happened? This kind of thing has always been happening in professional sports (NFL merges with AFL, NBA merges with ABA, etc.). I'm just surprised that it happened this quickly.
you asked why people are surprised?
Well the AFL didn't attack the twin towers...
something something, guess we forgot

None of those leagues are owned by a totalitarian theocratic monarchy who thinks it’s still the 1800s

I've watched my last golf tournament.
Never doubt the power and influence of outlandish sums of cash.
That means they'll be 5 majors. Happily.
Looks like the PGA was going to lose their monopoly case and decided to join LIV to save themselves.
Think about what you just said: In order not to lose a monopoly court case you decide to join the Plaintiff to create an even larger monopoly. Makes sense
@@charlesw7441 But the intelligence level of most people will NEVER get that
@@charlesw7441 Yes that is correct, it beats losing a monopoly case and not be worth anything and just being adsorbed by LIV. Since they havent lost the case yet, they still have value.

Gutless PGA management. Feel sorry for the ethical players who stood by their principles, and were then betrayed by that management. Maybe those players should start the Clean Golfers Association.
Or maybe their lawsuit was trash and they had to fold
Yeah, the only thing the loyal players will recieve is a handshake like Trump said.
@@SteveFrance-jw8de the lawsuit was probably trash, but they didn’t need to fold. The PGA was actually winning the ethics battle, but money almost always talks louder than doing the right thing. Some people will sell themselves for the money and some won’t.

They should have worked a deal out that paid a percentage to the players that stuck with the PGA instead of taking a LIV golf contract that was offered to them.
WTF PGA?!
