Even if that were a play, majority of golfers (below top 20) would be lured by the additional purse and events. So that move won’t get a majority. Secondly, you’re underestimating the litigation powers of PIF given the blessing from the PGA brass.

Thing is, while the PGA Tour was great for America, it was killing professional golf around the world. In places like Australia which used to have a great tour it had been reduced to a few tournaments and not much opportunities for local players. If this merger can result in a more global approach to the growth of professional golf and the game in general, then it’s a good thing. It’s not all about what happens in the USA, the game of golf is a global game and it couldn’t continue the way it was going.

@@jonathanh9592 I think it’s probably more due to television rights than ticket sales but I get what you mean. For example if they held an event in Australia I am certain the crowd attendance would be just as good as in the USA if the best players came to play. I just hope that the merger results in more higher level events being held around the world than just concentrated mainly in North America. The PGA tour are doing a handful outside of the USA, the DP World Tour are doing a lot more in this regard. But it’s important to spread the events with the big money purses so that the best players want to come and play. We had a LIV event in Adelaide and it had big crowds and great players. We need more such events and more opportunities for local players to play in bigger events.

So disappointed in the PGA. So many things wrong about this. Almost feel like abandoning golf altogether.

Because LIV gets its money from Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy notorious for its human-rights abuses, Monahan implied that players who chose LIV over professional golf’s preeminent league would regret their association with the kingdom. “I would ask any player that has left or any player that would consider leaving, have you ever had to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour?” Monahan said then. But in one of the most stunningly hypocritical reversals in recent sports history, Monahan is now on Team LIV and, by extension Team Saudi Arabia. This unethical capitalist should be fired!
