      no it was available for the right price - always was no one should have ever been confused about that - this is America - if you go thru the list of the names of most any significant award , prize donation - it is named after people who got rich doing some really horrible shit - and they created these awards as a way to wash their name up - pulitzer ? Hearst? Rockefeller , Carnegie - Morgan, this is not anything new . George HW Bush's grandfather - donated the Walker cup - do you think he was a prince ? I'll bet not

      I know one group that has integrity. I personally got Rush Limbaugh throw off the golf channel. I'm sure you all remember when Rush was on with Hank Haney.. Rush had mocked Connie Chung with a broken English accent mocking Chinese people. I wrote 17 letters to the Golf Channel including all the on air personalities(Brandel and Rich were included) that someone of his character and racism should not be promoted.
      I figured it fell on deaf ears. A couple of months later I saw my caller ID light up with the "golf Channel". The person then said to me that they got my letters and decided that Rush would never be on the Golf Channel again.
      When the reruns came on Rush was not included.

    Cam Smith, Brooks, Phil, DJ don't need to have any concern how players who didnt take the bag feel now.
    It has nothing to do with them, everyone made a decision which was the biggest argument going around every time a LIV player advocated for owgr or ryder cup selection or majors selection.
    Players had a choice and made a decision, if you turned down millions the only guy to blame is the one in the mirror, and unfortunately thats just how life works. You take the available information and make a choice, no one's exempt from getting it wrong sometimes.

      kind of similar to what you said, but it was almost certainly never about ethics whether or not a player chose to go to liv. It was a matter of weighing the potential risks with the pros and cons and each player made a decision based on that. I doubt a single player choose not to go to liv because they had moral reservations. Players are already accepting money from sponsors that are located all over the world and they're already accepting pga money which a portion of that money already comes from Saudia Arabia, which is why the moral argument was so hilarious and hypocritical. I understand that the pga was using this as a tactic to combat a potential competitor, but from the sounds of it, people like Chamblee were dumb enough to believe it, unless he's still pretending that it's about ethics to save face.

      Yes, you are absolutely right. There was this false narrative that LIV had nothing but washed up players. But then when you have LIV players like Koepka winning majors, it proves that the narrative was false. And the PGA Tour is supposed to have the best players in the world. If you want to have a truly great tour, you can't have 30% of the top players banned. People want to see the best players. So in addition to seeing guys like Scheffler and Rahm, we also want to see Koepka and Cameron Smith.

How were they not well taken care of? Free equipment, clothing, in some cases travel, hotels, corporate cars. In most cases paid to play said equipment they get for free and clothing. Again how are they not well compensated? Arnold Palmer who passed away how long ago still ranks in the top 20 or so for annual earnings. He hasn't played a meaningful round in 3 or 4 decades. Why? Sponsorships. He had a great agent that helped create the model every professional athlete uses today.

    Greg Norman - not from Europe - had been trying to promote and develop an active, growing International Golf League. Asia, Australia, etc. with Europe. That's how it all got started. PGA Tour kept cutting him at the legs regarding this for years, and not cooperating. So, he went around them with LIV. Nothing evil about it except for PIF money I guess. The problem is the new for profit entity concept is very vague. Since for profit, it is easy to conceive that the biggest money pile will have most of the actual control. European Tour is also Middle East sponsored via DP. Do we really want Middle Eastern countries to control professional golf?

    I never understood why LIV even started. The greatest showcase of golf on earth has always been the PGA tour. I honestly don't care where the PGA tournaments were held, what the prize money is because it's not like it matters anyway a successful PGA player like Rory, Scottie, or Sam Burns is making more than the average NFL or NBA player, what clubs the pros play... I just wanna watch good golf and shots that make my jaw drop to the floor when I see them. When that tried to be changed, that's when it all started to fall apart. This movement of golf to move from a game of possessing finesse, artistry, a level head, and handling pressure; to having galleries thousands of people strong on each hole so a pro can have his ball found no matter what when he damn well doesn't deserve to have someone look for it, hitting it as far as you can no matter what, and encouraging fans and influencers to display gluttony and foul language (which describes much of LIV quite accurately), is just ridiculous. I honestly enjoy watching old tournaments from 20 years ago like Mike Weir's Masters Win, Ben Curtis's British open win, 2000's Ryder cups where the teams were just toe to toe each time, the Tiger Slam, you name it. Now as much as they try to hype up endorsements, TV, gossip, and rivalries that hardly exist, it takes away from your attention on what those pros are really there to do, which is shoot scores 20 strokes better than the average player on courses with rough twice as tall and over 1,000 yards longer. I bet the PGA pros feel less appreciated and less looked up to than they did 20 years ago.

    Chamblee was such a relentless prick throughout this whole process. He used sophistry... he would manufacture information and facts to support his position. He was responsible for creating a greater degree of division throughout this process. For him to have the gale to pretend that this issue was somehow a moral issue and that he's somehow someone of moral high ground for coming out against liv is redic. And to take the position that those who choose not to go to liv did so for moral reasons is blasphemous. Players weighed the pros and cons of both and made a decision accordingly... odds are ethics was never part of the equation. Going to liv came with great potential risk, which is almost certainly the reason why the players who didn't go choose not to go. But to lie and say that the players who choose not to go took a moral high grand is a flat out lie. To put myself in various players shoes it would have been a difficult decision one way or the other and I can see why taking the risk made more sense for certain players than others. The PGA tour and the players already take money from sponsors located all over the world (China, etc)... the pga tour already accepted Saudie money on a yearly basis over the years... so it wasn't even hypocritical, because they almost certainly knew what they were doing... they pulled no punches and used any and all methods to threaten and slander players and Chamblee was one of the major forces partaking in this. Chamblee deserves to look like a clown because he acted like one throughout this process.

    • @dinglbarry1275
      @dinglbarry1275 ปีที่แล้ว

      And as I listen to him here. Perhaps he isn't a liar... perhaps he's merely painfully stupid, because he keeps bringing up Saudia Arabia as though this country isn't already involved with Saudia Arabia in various business/country endeavors. So was he boycotting the US government for their dealing with Saudia Arabia prior to this? I want to say that it's hypocrissy to the nth degree, because it's difficult to imagine how someone could be this painfully stupid, but he's still holding this position, whereas i figured this argument was 100% a tactic to combat liv and while I still think it was... apparently he never got the memo or figured out that this was a ploy/tactic to combat this potential competition threat and he actually believed it.

    Why is morals such an issues with LIV and PGA but its never brought up when the US govt spend billons for Saudi oil. Or the countless US companies that do business with them. If PIF offered you a 100 to 300 million dollar contract for 3 or 4 years of work Im pretty sure you'd take it. The way I see it we are just getting the money back that the US spent over there. If the PGA players have issues with accepting PIF money then they should donate there winnings to a charity.

    Saudi money is everywhere. That argument has always been nonsense. The PGA tour did not, nor should it ever have a monopoly on professional golf. Would Brandel have preferred the current state of affairs to remain? These two organizations can coexist, and thrive. Competition always results in a better product. This is no different. Golf needed a shakeup. The elitism of this sport has been a problem for a long time, and it’s been on full display since LIV went live. The game will be better for this merger. I’m so sick of the pretentious and sanctimonious whining about LIV, and the players who went to LIV. It was shameful really. Let’s all try to take a step back and forgive those with whom we may not agree. Stop the vilification of LIV and LIV players. If for no other reason…for the good of the game. The game is much more than a tour and some players. It’s a way of life…and we all love it…no matter where we choose to play.
