Phil out here looking like evil Cartman

"Forty years ago, it was considered by some a risky move for the guys who play professional golf to break away from the group created for golf professionals." This was about the PGA Tour splitting from The PGA of America in 1969. "The golf breakup occurred largely because of the influx of money that television had started to pump into the game. The top players (Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer among them) wanted to use the additional TV money to pump up the purses." "The PGA of America wanted to put the money in the general fund. That's when the compromise was reached, with the golf professionals and the professional golfers going their separate ways." Sounds a bit like today... The PGA tour categorized itself as a non profit so it could avoid hundreds of millions in tax revenue. That decision is now haunting them since it also means they can't hand out guaranteed money contracts like other professional sports.The LIV tour is doing exactly that so it's not surprising top level golfers want guaranteed money. If someone loses their PGA tour card they're gone with very little support. I don't see how you can treat people as independent contractors and then complain when they go elsewhere.

The press are pathetic, I'm sorry but it's irrelevant bringing up people who lost loved ones in 9/11. It had nothing to do with Phil or the other players. It's nothing more than a guilt trip. Every player has their own situation to weigh up and some will join LIV Golf and some won't. If you were presented with a great opportunity and it suited you, you'd be silly to pass it up. The PGA Tour is trying to guilt players for going to LIV Golf, but ultimately the PGA Tour will end up a second rate tour if they ban players.

I didn't realize he's had such controversy in his past, but man the broadcasters really made it personal and brought up all sorts of personal dirt. Completely uncalled for and makes me not want to watch Golf Channel or NBC Sports any more.

Phil like many others see the writing on the wall, that why they jumped ship. When you're teeing it up every week against the top young guns, your chances are slim of ever winning again. Why not go where the money is ridiculous and your adds to win are a lot better. The great ones that leave are still sacrificing their prestige and allegiance for the almighty buck, no matter how you cut it.

I find it odd that Phil, Bryson, and all LIV golf players have to take on the media's ethical standards with the Saudi government, when our own president is scheduled to meet with the Saudi government this summer, we still buy oil from the Saudi's, and I am sure American & EU companies are still operating throughout the middle east. The pressure and harassment these golfers are going through is painful to watch because Phil & Bryson are some of my favorite players. I am not sure why Phil is being held to right all the wrongs of a country when our own politicians cannot do the same or held to the same standards in a press conference.

I’ve been a huge Phil fan for years. Not really sure what Tiger has to do with anything or how attempting to bury somebody lends any sort of credence to your argument. I’ve seen Tiger sign plenty of autographs as well. Compare Phil to ANYBODY and we can just about bury that person in comparison to Phil so the Tiger bit is nonsense… and certainly winning a major doesn’t grant entitlement for any behavior or any sort of break from BS in and of itself. I’m not saying he’s deserving or not of anything and I’ve seen Phil at a major championship and can vouch for his kindness (wouldn’t say EVERY autograph but that’s nitpicking). He’s been largely very respectful to the crowds including myself for many years. But for every person on your side who feels that way there’s probably one on the other. It just is what it is. You make a choice, you live with whatever consequences come with that and he understands that. I also don’t think backlashing against public opinion would do him any sort of favors at this point and I’m sure he knows that as well.

@@mikecook219 tiger is idolized and if he had joined this tour which still may happen, he would not be ostracized the way Phil has been. That was my point about Tiger. I was a huge tiger fan when he first came out but as time went on and I saw what an a-hole he really is, I started to like him less and less. I admire his talent, ability and grit, but I think Phil is a far better person in general and a great golfer in his own right. No one is perfect however and we all have our flaws. Except me of course. JK. This will al blow over eventually I’m sure. For the most part but their will be many still holding on to their butt hurt. Including many that would leave their current employer in a heartbeat for more money and more time off regardless of where the money was coming from.

@@jeffrichardson4941 Tiger was offered in the high 9 figures (perhaps 3 or 4 times as much as Phil) and he had no problem saying no thank you to the Saudis. He's not going to change his mind. His legacy won't be questioned. Phil's will. That's how the cookie crumbles no matter what your personal opinion is.

@@jeffrichardson4941 Get back to me the day you see Tiger join the Saudi backed Tour. Until then I rest my case.

"You're lucky he even golfs for you BASTARDS!!.....sob, sob.....LEAVE PHIL ALONE!!!!!!"

Not sure why people are expecting softball questions. Glad they asked tough questions and I thought Phil did a solidly mediocre job of answering.
