I caught a link to that same article earlier in the day. Clicked this thread hoping someone just gave us the cliffs notes on it...That was a nightmare link to click on, holy pop-up hell.
Hope they don’t get khashoggied.They will be fine. The Saudis will totally take care of them.
You bet, all they have to do is go pick up a big fat check at any Saudi embassy in Europe.😋They will be fine. The Saudis will totally take care of them.

I’m 8 over on 18 by about the 4th hole.Andy Ogletree
He came, he didn't conquer, he got paid £100,000, and he disappeared. Andy Ogletee was the first ever 'last place' finisher with LIV Golf, ending up 24 over par for his 54 holes. The 2019 US Amateur winner was duly axed, and barely been heard of since.
There's gotta be people on this board better than that...
On any given day, sure...Andy Ogletree

...which is to say, the perfect best ball full handicap playing partner!I’m 8 over on 18 by about the 4th hole.
Yeah, half the time my drives go straight a quarter of the time. My putting is OK, much improved due to my kids liking miniature golf. I sometimes hit the grass further than the ball with my irons… or I blade the crap out of the ball and my next shot ends up being twice as far. Sand trap? Forget it, I’ll take my 12....which is to say, the perfect best ball full handicap playing partner!
One good shot will make up for two bad ones. And if you really are the Yogi Berra of golf quotes, you're definitely the ultimate best ball playing partner!Yeah, half the time my drives go straight a quarter of the time.

Our golf games sound very similar.Yeah, half the time my drives go straight a quarter of the time. My putting is OK, much improved due to my kids liking miniature golf.

Pretty sure he met (or was supposed to meet) with LIV last week. I would be extremely disappointed if he left TNT for that. But $ talks. I’m not watching LIV regardless. But does his shtick work long term with “competitive” golf? It’s fun watching him roast Tom Brady during an exhibition. But not sure how it works in a situation like this?So, LIV related, I was listening to the Dan Patrick show, and he had Charles Barkley on, and Dan asked Charles if he was going to LIV? I thought it was a gag bit? But, Charles started talking at length and I realized something is going on, and he said he might be leaving TNT? LIV analyst?
The truth of the matter is that "really good golfers" are like really good shooting 6' white guys in basketball.....they are "really good" but they are a dime a dozen., and being "really good" is nothing special. A few of them will make it playing golf (or playing basketball).....However, most of them will earn a nice living selling life insurance.On any given day, sure...
A son of a buddy of mine is a really good golfer. I think he's like +2/+3, with a high end home course you've heard of. After college, he and a couple of his college buddies decided to take a little time to think about whether they wanted to do Q school, by playing in a couple of high end tournaments. He ultimately decided not to. One of the guys went to Q school. Made the first day cut at -5. Second day cut was -11, which he didn't make. Not sure what the final cut was. Now the guys who get out of Q school and get their card don't suddenly start on the PGA Tour, or even the Korn Ferry. Nope - those guys basically have the ability to go try to play in Latin America or AsiaPac for a while, and maybe then they can jump to Korn Ferry on a regular basis. There are just so many high end players out there.
Ultimately, as the saying goes, it's a hard knock life. But if you've won the US Amateur, I'd probably take you over the HROT commentariat field any day of the week.
The trouble with the shotgun start aspect is you cap the size of the field, so this is probably inevitable.The 48 player format feels gimmicky and it will definitely be interesting to see if bigger names are signed, which of the “middle-of-the-pack-but-still-a-name” type players (Bubba Watson for instance) get bumped.
Reportedly, Barkley is grossly underpaid on TNT, and he LOVES golf.Pretty sure he met (or was supposed to meet) with LIV last week. I would be extremely disappointed if he left TNT for that. But $ talks. I’m not watching LIV regardless. But does his shtick work long term with “competitive” golf? It’s fun watching him roast Tom Brady during an exhibition. But not sure how it works in a situation like this?
Not to mention the gap it leaves at TNT. His rapport with Shaq/Kenny/Ernie is unmatched. Love watching basketball on TNT for that group alone. Selfishly, I want that group to stay together. Maybe he’ll use LIV to get a pay bump with TNT?

It’s funny until something happens to something they care about. Then THEY see how golf fans can take this personally.I hope Barkley leaves TNT for LIV. There has been so many non-golf fans dialed into this story and popping off nonsense in LIV related threads all over the web because they just love to see the carnage and watch the world burn. It's funny to pile on and watch an institution get destroyed. It's the same crowd that clamors about rules changes to baseball (ban the shift!) who never watch a game anyways.
A lot of people like Barkley and the NBA on TNT crew. Barkley leaving becoming a casualty in all of this would be fitting. More fans, and NBA fans no less, get to share in the pain that LIV is creating.
