The EU sure might. They are much more active on antitrust matters than the US.
PGA Tour, Europe to Merge With Saudis and End LIV Litigation
- Thread starter cigaretteman

Well, sort of. It's just that they are active and actually have the authority to be, whereas our current FTC is active notwithstanding the lack of authority to be.
I'm very confused and concerned about this. Why couldn't the PGA just let the LIV players stay in the PGA and play in the tournaments? Why did they have to merge?
Minor correction. "Love of money".
PGA loves money more than golf.... Which is funny, because they have been ripping on LIV and players that went to LIV for 3+ years about them taking money over "legacy".
Will be interesting how tarnished the PGA image remains after this. It will be BAD for awhile, but how much does that be forgotten and fans still tune in?
It just feels like the PGA and LIV are both winners today and the players are the only ones that lost. If you stuck with the PGA and didn't take a payday, well you missed out on some serious money. And if you went to LIV like DJ where he said he gets paid more to work less, well looks like that's over also! LOL.. I'd feel sorry for any of them if they weren't all rich already.
That said, I'll still watch whenever it's on and I have nothing going on, don't let the politics of sports ruin your enjoyment of actual sports if you like to watch them. If that was the case I wouldn't be able to watch any sport.

It’s just disappointing to see the Saudis making inroads like this. We deal with them because we currently have no choice, but it’s gross they can buy their way to legitimacy.
And yeah, I know US isn’t perfect…blah blah

Always thought it’s sketchy when lawyers on boards have their firms do work for those companies.
Rory and Tiger may be making some calls about a new WorldPGA league.
Elon call for you on line 1.
We have a choice... we just don't have the will.
My uncle (dad's brother) was a pretty big wig for Standard Oil (ESSO and then Exxon) in the 70-80s. We knew then that the US has enough oil for several lifetimes. That was only ANWR back then and now the Permian Basin.
We just pretend we don't have a choice.

This pisses me off more and more as I think about it. Let's ask the 9/11 survivors and family of the deceased their thoughts.

Bingo.
It’s amazing what oil and money can do….the Saudis committed one of the most heinous atrocities ever leveled against our country yet were nearly immediately absolved of all wrong doing.
The Saudi’s were taking notes during WW2 and learned a few valuable lessons from Japan.
Just got home from watching my son golf in a tournament today.
WHAT AND THE ACTUAL **** IS THIS NEWS?

Funny how this goes down on the anniversary of D Day and the Saudis announce they are cutting oil production by 1,000,000 barrels of oil a day.
It is all about money and always has been. Just be honest with the American people instead of the scum bag Jay Monaghan has finally revealed himself to be and a politician that makes statements and thinks we all forgot what he said previously.

He knew what the LIV plan was from the get go. He was in business with them.From last July
The fact that the PGA Tour actually sold out shocks me. It’s all personal greed by the board members. They had the LIV Tour on the ropes. The Saudis were never going to allow personal discovery.
I’m going to ****ing cry or throw up.
Possibly both.
Was having a great day until I looked on my phone.
PGA ****ing sellouts!!!!!!

Ask them what they think about Jay Monahan using them to help guilt players into not leaving for LIV, only to have Monahan sell them all out today.
Yes that too on top of it all. No interest in watching Majors going forward. Reprehensible
Don’t feel sorry for anyone involved. Covered enough golf tournaments to form an opinion that I couldn’t care less about pro golfers.
The PGA Tour was going to struggle to get the money for their new schedule. They needed the funding and did not want to go to trial and be subject to discovery. Maybe they learned something from the DOJ investigation.I'm very confused and concerned about this. Why couldn't the PGA just let the LIV players stay in the PGA and play in the tournaments? Why did they have to merge?
PIF just wanted to get involved in golf and tried in 2018 with the PGA Tour, who said no. LIV was started and put the PGA Tour in a tough spot. Monihan is a bad leader with no vision and got paid well today in spite of that
LIV just wanted to get into golf and did not want to go to trial, PGA Tour definitely did not want to go to trial/discovery and could not compete financially with LIV in the long run, this is the result
