[@tc-zc6lc]

I think Patrick Reed's children would prefer he were on the tour

[@fredgarvin4252]

Patrick needs time off to work on his body😂

[@shootermcgavin3077]

Rumour is foot wedges are legal on the liv tour

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

So cool, man! Don't bogart that joint, my friend!

[@shotkaler55]

It would be funny for these guys to do some research on where the money comes from with some of these media outlets asking questions and to ask them the same types of questions right back at them 🤔

[@tino0217]

All the haters act like they wouldn't do the same thing. All they're practicing and hard work is bringing the rewards.

[@ericmiles1852]

Exactly !!!

[@Matt-cr4vv]

It’s clear to see why they chose this route. The only real fault I have for guys moving is when they’re made the Tour didn’t listen to players. Maybe that’s true to an extent. But realistically, even if the Tour wanted to try and do what LIV is doing, they couldn’t. While not confirmed the signing bonus money given to DJ, Phil and Bryson alone accounts for almost a third of the revenue the PGA generates in a year. That just isn’t possible to replicate. Can’t fault players for cashing in but them acting like this should’ve already been happening when it wouldn’t have been possible outside of a nation just dumping money in without an expectation of return is fairly annoying.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

For all the flack the Tour gets they’re actually a generous league comparatively to the other major leagues. They share 55% of revenue in prizes compared to 50% in the nfl and nba. The issue is 55% of their pie is a lot smaller than 50% of those other pies. And the PGA let’s them market their uniform and keep the money. One of the major flaws players have been upset about is not owning their media rights in terms of their coverage in the Tour. But no major sports league gives that up. If the league doesn’t hold that then it has no asset to provide in the sense of a television deal. So i don’t fault them but their gripes also don’t really resonate for me . I could maybe give them something like a tour player having no sense of guarantee while other sports leagues do offer some kind of guarantee.

[@Groz18511]

@@Matt-cr4vv are you sure of those numbers? I heard a tour player say the money share was closer to 20%

Good luck on getting a major network to televise, could be a problem selling adds!!

[@Bobby-rq5eg]

I too feel bad for professional golfers on the pga tour. Just imagine the hardship of playing golf for a living. Stacking cash upon cash, walking endlessly around in beautiful places only to be mocked by the meritocratic tyranny where you are supposed to perform well and your worth depends on your abilities. Good grief it’s so unfair just think about it……millionaire’s playing with a stick for money but can’t be certain of earnings every week after 36 holes of golf while 327 million workers globally are paid for certainty at their countries' minimum wage for work 7 days a week 8 to 10 hours a day. Think about it - the average PGA Tour player earned about $1.5 million in 2021. The national average salary in the US in 2021 was $56,310. REVOLT you underpaid, underprivileged golfers REVOLT and join the Saudi regime by sport washing their horrendous deeds. Why not and in the process destroy the very foundation your sport is built on and ignore the fact that you wouldn’t have had any notable career’s or legacies without it……….all of this destruction because of an selfish urge to have even more things and bigger jet’s. Good grief and good luck with that!!!!

[@gandalfhodl8723]

Lmao so because you don’t have high leverage skills, they are supposed to never have any complaints? You’d be smart not to compare it to normal jobs bc real companies know they don’t have power over contractors. What foundation are you talking about exactly? The ncaa model? People doing nothing and then keeping the money? They don’t own anything on their own tour but somehow can’t pay caddies, won’t let a percentage of media rights go to the players. Do you understand how much money they’ve been keeping off the table? Guys are signing one deal and making more than the goat in their sport ever did. That’s not a good thing. Not to mention, THEY CAN DO BOTH. They are contractors man, they should be allowed to play whenever and wherever they want. “Their horrendous deeds” lmao we live in the USA (who does business with these regimes) you’re a moron if you don’t know we’re out doing terrible things in the world. Wake up

[@adrianbialecki9924]

It doesn't have to be just black or white...we all have one thing in common, we all love golf. There is always the option to embrace LIV and keep watching PGA and enjoy both tours

[@TZOID08]

Brooks..." My Opinion Changed" $ 150 Million Dollars was why it changed..... Be genuine at least and say it's the $$$$$

[@laynezuelke3289]

Brooks has already stated in the past that he plays gold for the money. So no surprise here.

[@Diogenes-ty9yy]

My opinion would change for a whole lot less.

[@pamelavaughn547]

These golfers have made a point by leaving. The PGA was mostly ignoring player concerns until the LIV started attracting some of their players. Now the PGA is addressing player concerns. Ironically, it won't benefit the guys who left, but the players who stayed will now reap the benefits.

[@tomconnolly8071]

Some people don't think it matters.

[@ajbuff3684]

Pat Perez, the Chaz Michael Michaels of professional golf.

[@AbleAnderson]

The schedule argument doesn't fly at all, and it's funny to hear Brooks bring it up at all after he's the one at the US Open who said he can play whatever PGA schedule he wants and you're never forced to play in any event. If you wanna play 3 events a year on the PGA tour, as long as you're qualified you can. It's not as feasible for lesser players but for guys who are always having decent success there's no requirement to play every week

[@earlsuave]

Pat Perez, I’m going to have to explain to my son why I wasn’t at his birth lol, I don’t think he’s gonna give a shit with all toys he’ll have, just admit you’ve all done it for the money most of us would!

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

he did. he called it winning the lottery.

[@brotherderek]

Pat Perez? Yeah, can't wait. Last win was 5 years ago and he is 46 now. Same with many others. They just don't win anymore on the PGA Tour, so let them make their money in the minor leagues. The PGA Tour will continue to be much more compelling.

[@gandalfhodl8723]

The pga tour sucks. Lol the tournaments that everyone watches, they don’t even run. Been watching golf a long time now and the players are right, the PGA tour has been operating like the ncaa if anything

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

DJ, Patrick, Brooks and Bryson alone have 7 Majors in 5 years. I'd say they're ok. Rory, who I love, hasn't won a major in like 8 years.

[@brotherderek]

@@JeffSmith-eq3kc Ok. Let's see how it goes. Personally, I think Brooks is not as good anymore and Rory would kick his ass in match play. Hey, they made a lot of money, but Scottie would beat the all. Sergio? Joke. Phil? Done. Bryson, maybe. Pat Perez, never.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

@@brotherderek I agree about Rory and Scottie and LIV definitely doesn't have the absolute best in the world. I just dont know why it's necessary to diminish what these guys have done because they've joined LIV. Pat Perez has kept his card for 24 years. That's an insane accomplishment. Is he a superstar, no. Neither is the overwhelming majority of the PGA Tour. I actually have a good friend who has been on Tour for 6 years now. He's 29. His first two seasons he barely kept his card. He's playing awesome this year, particularly recently but it's not easy just to get to and stay on Tour. Someone who's done it for decades deserves credit. A guy like Kevin Na is similar. These guys have been massively successful. No reason to diminish that because they've joined LIV.

[@brotherderek]

@@JeffSmith-eq3kc Well, in reality, I am well aware, except for Pat Perez, that these guys have had great success and are amazing golfers. I am not diminishing their careers. And even Pat has been a good journeyman for a long time, so props to him. Anyway, at present, I am not interested in seeing any of the guys who went to LIV, especially Pat Perez. My opinion. I hope the best golfers continue to play in the PGA. Hey, every man has his number, I guess, but this whole effort with the Saudi's is just odd, but with the money they have, I suppose they could takeover. We shall see.

[@skillet4068]

What if the PGA is really funding LIV tour to get all the players nobody likes on to a different platform?

[@poumpea9371]

I never watched this guys play any way.

[@susemcdonald9004]

Rory(Forrest Gump) needs to stop his blabering and leave the guys to play there golf its there lives and there choice end of!

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I half get it since he gets asked about it a bunch. But I can’t lie preachy Rory, or any Tour player, gets old. It’s easy to see why guys who are going to LIV are choosing to do so. It’ll be nice when the media stops beating that to death.

[@haipingwang7075]

Rory Tiger and Spieth are well fed with millions a year from PGA for sure! Others cannot make a living

[@gdm49]

[@Sam_guitar1999]

[@flyfishjunkie6622]

No issue with them going for the money, free enterprise. A shame that the move has made them irrelevant. Most are past their career peak and I get the cash grab. Just seems sad all around for golf.

[@coophandluke3697]

Fucking blood money

[@tripleg1686]

Nobody said a damn thing about Rory McIiroy and Tiger Woods when they went to play in China where there was a whole lot of money being paid out despite human rights violations by the Chinese and the US press or world press said nothing so what’s the criticism with the guys moving on to make the best decisions for themselves.

[@josephdaniel305]

Perez moved to LIV for one reason. LIV contracts calls for unlimited Just for Men. Jet Black. Allowing Pat when traveling (working) 26 weeks out of 52 he can still attempt to lay an POA as he has since 1998. Over the last 10 years the I am 25 line is not working. Love hip hop blasting out of speakers at all driving ranges.

[@adamskaboy]

Welcome to the world of “Professional Golf Anonymous”….actually I enjoy the PGA even more now…it’s quite refreshing to see new players and great attitudes instead of the mercenaries of LIV…they should move to Saudi to complete their career ending decisions… Can’t wait until Norman throws them under a bus….it’s inevitable.

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

Why is Perez wearing ear muffs?

[@allenyeong4771]

Pro golfers leaving PGA because LIV golf is paying players to play and not base on winners

[@darai62]

I’m not sure why they want to still play on the PGA Tour? They keep emphasizing that they needed time off to spend with their families and pursue other interests. They stress that in order to do so they need to escape the grind of the PGA Tour. Great! Everyone is happy! Goodbye … have great time on the LIV Tour and don’t let the door hit you in the A**

[@Matt-cr4vv]

It makes sense in the context that you want to play the Tour for rankings points for one since LIV as of now doesn’t allow for any. Eventually, barring a chance in qualification standards, that puts the majors at risk. But it also makes sense to want to selectively play Tour events. Picking and choosing maybe ten big Tour events versus having to play 30+ events. The entire difference for them, I imagine, is having the choice to play a Tour event if you want to versus having to play a ton of them.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

That being said I don’t fault the Tour for saying no. Yes they are independent contractors, hence why the PGA hasn’t been filing injunctions to prevent them from being able to play in LIV, but I don’t think that should require the Tour to let you play for them. While I don’t fault a player for choosing LIV, because outside of legacy every other metric leans towards LIV in terms of money and schedule, but I also don’t feel bad for them not being able to have their cake and eat it too by only cherry picking the best of what the Tour offers and leaving the undesireable things for full time Tour players.

[@tc-zc6lc]

Great that they have Pat Perez on the new tour. It really needed someone to hit it 340 yards into the rough and make bogeys. Plus Patrick Reed is a snake and suits the new tour perfectly. And Brooks brother is a 4 handicapper. Good luck to the Saudi tour
