Why wouldn’t they be successful in court? Did you read the agreement? The Saudis straight up bought off the PGA Tour.The PGA and everyone else realized they would not be successful in court, this was simply a desperate move to remain in business.

I guess people with no principles or ethics can spot each other a mile away.
The PGA had a losing argument and we all knew it, the PGA was run by idiots.Why wouldn’t they be successful in court? Did you read the agreement? The Saudis straight up bought off the PGA Tour.

Tiger can't last one tournament let alone play 50 courses. LOLTiger and Rory should get together and bring back Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf format.
Get four of the best players in the world together and have them play all of the top 50 courses in the United States that wouldn’t want public events.
Tiger made the cut at the Masters this year. He could play a round of golf every few weeks. He could also take the Gary Player role, if he wanted.Tiger can't last one tournament let alone play 50 courses. LOL
Eldrick isn't an attraction anymore at his age and physical condition it would be Bobby Riggs vs Billie Jean King every week.Tiger and Rory should get together and bring back Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf format.

You’re just being stupid now.Eldrick isn't an attraction anymore at his age and physical condition it would be Bobby Riggs vs Billie Jean King every week.
Recent history says I'm correctYou’re just being stupid now.
You’re going full Trad here.Eldrick isn't an attraction anymore at his age and physical condition it would be Bobby Riggs vs Billie Jean King every week.
1997 was 26 years ago and multiple surgeries/accidents ago too.You’re going full Trad here.
He’s still the biggest star in golf. What was the highest rating for a PGA tournament this year?
What was the lowest rating for “The Match” when Tiger Woods was playing?
1997 was 26 years ago and multiple surgeries/accidents ago too.
He's not even clost to the being the same player, much like Bobby Riggs was in 1973.
For the last time - He is not remotely close to being the same caliber of player that he was.Tiger Woods Continues to Be PGA Tour’s TV Rainmaker
As the LIV Tour starts its second season, last weekend Tiger Woods reminded the world of his impact when he plays in a PGA Tour event.frontofficesports.com
Rory did it for money as much as legacy, he has been all over the place when it comes to where the money comes from in golf. I do respect that he attempted to keep it together.Rory protected his legacy. It cost him, but I respect what he did.
I bet the PGA players who spoke out against the KSA feel completely betrayed.
I wonder why Soly is getting texts, their LIV stances were all constantly evolving
Rory is a d bag. Hopefully Phil drives a bomb into his backRory did it for money as much as legacy, he has been all over the place when it comes to where the money comes from in golf. I do respect that he attempted to keep it together.
Just noting how much he did for the past year and this was the outcome, has to be frustrating for him
Boys....before you “Pooh-Pooh” what JR is saying here, Understand there is at least a grain of two of truth in what he says.Remember, these people control the world oil market. They can produce at a cheap rate and that is their key. US producers have a giant cost per barrel compared to them. So whenever oil prices get high enough to bring the shale people back, they will again increase output to lower prices to put the shale guys out of business.
So, while you moron Republicans fill up your giant pickups that you drive to Hy-Vee with, think about that a little. But you probably wont.
Love to be in that 4pm meeting between Monahan and the players

Just stick to the political talking points. It's evident you don't know shit about the golf talking points (no surprise).For the last time - He is not remotely close to being the same caliber of player that he was.
Secondly everybody wants to watch a train wreck so the viewers ratings do not surprise me at all.
he can be a lesser caliber player, and still be the main draw. Both can be true?For the last time - He is not remotely close to being the same caliber of player that he was.

Lol, you do have to admire the pandering absurdity of it though.Calling the Saudi royal family fund, a minority owned business might be the most insulting part of all of this.
You know what would be freakin hilarious? If the FTC blocked the combination as anticompetitive (which it probably is).The most disruptive year in golf ended Tuesday when the PGA Tour and European tour agreed to a merger with Saudi Arabia's golf interests, creating a commercial operation designed to unify professional golf around the world.
As part of the deal, the sides are dropping all lawsuits involving LIV Golf against each other effective immediately.
Still to be determined is how players like Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, who defected to Saudi-funded LIV Golf for nine-figure bonuses, can rejoin the PGA Tour after this year.
Also unclear was what form the LIV Golf League would take in 2024. Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a memo to players that a thorough evaluation would determine how to integrate team golf into the game.
The agreement combines the Public Investment Fund's golf-related commercial businesses and rights — including LIV Golf — with those of the PGA and European tours. The new entity has not been named.
“They were going down their path, we were going down ours, and after a lot of introspection you realize all this tension in the game is not a good thing,” Monahan said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
“We have a responsibility to our tour and to the game, and we felt like the time was right to have that conversation.”
Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, will join the board of the PGA Tour, which continues to operates its tournaments. Al-Rumayyan will be chairman of the new commercial group, with Monahan as the CEO and the PGA Tour having a majority stake in the new venture.
The PIF will invest in the commercial venture.
Monahan said the decision came together over the last seven weeks.
