Federal laws controlling professional sports like MLB & granting them special status are unconstitutional. They are monopolies.

Yeah, strange that Morikawa can win the Race to Dubai after only playing three European (DP Tour World) events.

Lol, the 200 PGA Tour players and 150 Korn Ferry Tour players should sue LIV to all play in the next event, as well as be paid equally proportionate money as the existing 60 or so LIV players. DJ at #19 gets $150 million, then LIV owes world number 1 Scottie Scheffler 19 times that amount, or $2.85 billion. Shouldn’t PGA Tour players get equal access and fair pay? Shouldn’t players be allowed to play where they want and be compensated fairly?

[@rosiefrederick6403]

I'm not a golfer. I love watching golf. Its the only sport I enjoy watching. As a "fan", I do not understand the confusion surrounding players that leave and go to LIV. Why can't the PGA have player contracts like other athletes? Organizations like the PGA made these golf stars. Why should they get all the exposure, growth and top level competition to hone their skills and become Household names enabeling them to earn millions in advertising endorsements and then just walk away? I think they should be under contract. I have no interest in watching a golfer, becoming a fan and supporting that player young and coming up, knowing they will just walk off the green when as soon as an organization with millions decides he's ripe for the picking. I'm watching the FedEx St. jude championship and I don't recognize 1/2 the names! I see Justin Thomas, Finau and Fowler playing and their tem mates are gone. As a fan, its obvious none of them gave a crap about the organization that made them, their fans, or their team mates. Why should we care about you. No returns allowed.

That is the big problem a crime family forged my name on a document giving them power of attorney and then a different crime family came saying that they were my actual family and had a medical power of attorney saying that I was incompetent and couldn't handle my daily Affairs so any money you sent to me goes to these crime family people that I keep begging law enforcement to do something about

PORTNOY WORKS FOR JAY AND THE PGA TOUR SELLING THE PROPAGANDA WHAT A SPHINCTER BOY

[@C.J.M..]

‪As Norman correctly noted, many PGA sponsors do business with Saudi Arabia “for the money”. And which country did President Trump visit first in his presidency? Saudi Arabia-“for the money”, to sign a “tremendous deal” worth $110 billion in arms sales and other new investments. So from the Leader of the Free World down to corporations everything is cool and normal, but for actual players, the people who generate the money, not so much. ‬

[@thomasjoseph3488]

The OWGR points are the key, so I don't see the "cake and eat it, too" argument as so black and white. Number two - players are allowed on other tours already now. Why not LIV as an option?

[@thomasjoseph3488]

@peedee Under the current system, sure, however, if there is an eventual accommodation, who knows what's possible? I read Norman has lots on the drawing board, long-term plans, and I am sure there are contingencies for negotiations with the PGA and other entities. Let's face it, if LIV obtains the proper status, including OWGR points and broadcasting contracts, anything is possible.

[@thomasjoseph3488]

@peedee Well, we don't know if the actual contracts require any of the issues raised in the leaked draft agreement. That includes the number of obligatory appearances. Could be very different from the template contract. It will be interesting.

The first 5 seconds was a lie. The verdict was that these players on this suit didn't prove the points of their case. It's like a low level case. But man when the big dogs come out the PGA is going to have a few problems.

Competition creates innovation or goes bankrupt. All that matters is will the masses like it and pay for it.

[@waltvancourt5052]

Lawyers wrong arguments, its all about the world ranking points that they would have got by playing in the FedEx cup tournaments to qualify for next year for the 4 major tournaments that are not even run by the pga tour and those 3 players qualified and earn it with their play this year. That is UNREPAIRABLE damage that can't be compensated with money.

[@PGO_Gaming]

When you sign for LIV, you KNOW you're not getting world golf ranking points for the tournaments you play. You KNOW you cannot play in the PGA Tour anymore. You KNOW you are not welcome for the FedEX Cup. They took the money KNOWING they could be giving up the Ryder Cup, Majors, and legacy. THEY STILL TOOK THE MONEY. If the majors and legacy were important enough, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE MONEY.

[@waltvancourt5052]

@@PGO_Gaming Not quite pal, the pga tour has no say in who plays in the majors, as far as ranking points those are given out to players of golf leagues across the world and to deny one league with world class players in the fields would be discriminatory and collusion to eliminate competition as some board members on the rankings committee are pga tour and European tour officials that have made public statements to stop the LIV golf league from forming, signing players and succeeding as another golf league.

[@PGO_Gaming]

@@waltvancourt5052 You cannot receive world golf ranking points unless you play on an accredited tour. LIV Golf will never be accredited. The PGA Tour, like the DP World Tour and the Asian Tour have ALL the say in majors, because you get ranking points based on THEIR tours, not LIV. LIV eliminates THEMSELVES by their shotgun start and their 54 hole finish. An exhibition golf tour cannot produce competition points, pal.
