Rory McIlroy issues ANOTHER huge warning to the PGA TOUR OVER Saudi money!

[@back9films]

*Golfers…Rory is taking so much sense here right?*

[@anthonybelham1466]

I think you mean talking🤔

[@ApotheNZ]

The fact that it came from Rorys mouth makes it less sensible, Rory the biggest diva in Golf history

[@YayaGolf777]

The dudes a hypocrite. He changes his tune every other day. Perfect example screaming to ban all Uro players from the Ryder Cup until Rohm left, then he back pedaled. Honestly I don’t think us every day life golfers such as myself who adore this glorious game give a damn anymore about the pro games drama. Still love the game just not the drama. I care more about the morons in charge dialing back our golf balls and not really caring about us non pros!

I hope PIF does make a deal with the DP World tour. Let LIV players play all they want there and that tour is relevant again overnight. The DP has tried the PGA bootlicker path and it’s not working out for them

[@kennethmckinney2532]

Agree

[@kennethmckinney2532]

@golfnut2965 yep. I wish I could watch the events. The "golf channel" used to show the Asian Tour quite a bit but not anymore...

[@PharCanal_007]

John your comment is Bang on , Although I would say the DP World Tour is very relevant to the everyone outside of the USA, It's certainly more enjoyable to watch both live & on TV, so same as LIV in that respect. European Golf along with LIV have an opportunity to reset the game, to take the Game back to it's core values and out of the hands of Corporate America who since the Tiger walked out of the forest have been controlling it and milking it for all it's worth. What was the biggest complaint from the players that left the PGA ? Non of them actually said it but it all seemed to point in the direction of Corruption within the PGA and it certainly gets you thinking when you see Jay Monahan taking home $22.5 million for the years work + expenses, Not bad for the CEO/Commissioner of a Non-Profit working for charity business model now is it 🙂

[@alanturner293]

As a golf fan both playing and watching for many years I now find myself switching off. The constant theme is centred on money, and I just do not want to base my viewing on how much a player may win.

[@longballist]

As a scratch golfer who started playing in my twenties (now 63) I could give a flying fart what these spoiled brats want. Put up their own money, then we will bet on it if we want. I don’t care which tour exists! O.B Keller was correct when he said, “Money will ruin sports” and he was spot on. Know body just plays for the love of competition anymore. Too Much Money!!! Now we end up with cheating (P. Reed) because a stroke or two is tens or hundreds of thousands of Dollars/Euros! I barely watch anymore. Golf channel is a joke, as it is so rah, rah USA!

[@TheCarty1986]

Sounds like you need a break.

[@paulm5871]

[@jimwilson7528]

Money it's going to ruin Sports... is the correct quote, but it was said by O.B. Keeler!😊

[@jimwilson7528]

Money is screwing up everything. Just like the rest of what's going on in the world, people are throwing history out the window. I wonder what legal protections do the LIV players have? At least over here players have the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, in order to sue someone when they get screwed. What kind of protection do they have with the Saudis if they decide that they run the world of golf and no longer have to pay the players? Asking a serious question.

[@longballist]

@@jimwilson7528 Thanks for the correction.

[@jacklbrt]

Revive "WGC"(World Golf Championship) events. 4 or 6 or 8 events a year. PGA Tour/DP World Tour vs LIV. Big money tournaments. Forget a merger. Too many obstacles. Don't need it anyways. And don't forget the US government has their hands in the merger negotiations. That's never good. Add in the majors, that's up to a dozen events a year. Fans would love it, players would love it, TV would love it, everyone wins

[@TimG2553]

LIV and DP world tour would definitely be a good fit it works for both on different levels

[@rerawho]

I love the game of golf. It’s a sport that will be for the rest of my life. It ends there. I have a personal relationship with the game and it’s fun to play with my friends or by myself. Unfortunately, massive money ruins everything. At this point, I could care less about the pros and their money issues. I’d continue to play and enjoy golf without the pros. They can have their money and all the issues associated with it. It doesn’t affect me. It doesn’t change my personal relationship with the game. They can all disappear tomorrow and I wouldn’t miss them. They can swim in their piles of money amongst themselves.

[@MikeSoutham]

how is Jay Monahan still in a job? This should have been sorted 12 months ago. LIV aint going away. Just sort it out for the fans.

[@TheCarty1986]

Money money money... its not even about the sport or the fans anymore. REMOVE JAY. I believe he is the problem. Blokes made too much money off a non profit business. His holding onto it like its his retirement fund.

[@partsunknown33]

...it is his retirement fund

[@stevenorr3196]

Speed up talks, why, who gains from a merger/agreement! Not Liv, they are sailing their own course. For me the only issues with all of this is qualification to the majors. Funny, how we are talking mergers because the PGA want their full fields back, but they Banned the Liv guys from playing.

[@owenhaugh5439]

And don't forget that most if not all those initial contracts are over or just about done, the TV contract with CW Network collapsed and looks like it just might be John Rahm vs ??? Yeah, The waiting game has done just fine and LIV NEEDS the PGA, and with The Season we've just witnessed The PGA doesn't need LIV, and now they want to start the silly season next year with team golf and other ideas???? Most PGA Pro's that are in the Top 50-75 want that time off, and besides has anyone heard of The NFL and even College Football, that's their Prime Time....Bye Bye LIV and Greggy

I watched the LPGA tour this weekend. PGA Tour Playoffs not interested at all!

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

If rory gets it everyone should. He sure does make sense, the same sense people have been saying from the beginning. It is a very simple solution. Get over the punishments and let them Come back. Also allow players to go. Work together on a schedule that works for everyone and creates more opportunities than ever for the players. And more variety for the fans while also seeing top guys together more than ever on both tours. The potential is clearly there.

[@ApotheNZ]

Rory was the biggest name calling for those guys to be banned from the PGA in the first place, solely because Rory is trash and knows he can't win in an open field

[@mpurplehaze4014]

If it’s about money and always is, LIV is in the driver seat here. They can ride this out indefinitely. The PGAT has not been the same quality since the split and burning all their cash to keep up with LIV to keep their remaining stars happy can’t go on for ever. They need to cut a deal yesterday.

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

I don’t have a problem with LIV. If I were a player on the Tour, I wouldn’t go to LIV, but I haven’t watched an event; it’s not something I want to watch. In fact, I only watch the majors, Fed Ex, the Players, Ryder Cup, President Cup and maybe a few other events, if I’m not playing golf myself. There is far too much good golf, just on the PGA Tour and there is only so many hours in a day. I have other things I have to do. 🤷‍♂️

[@Joseph-vj9zw]

All you have solved in your suggestion is the scheduling. Nothing about 24 other tours who meet requirements for ranking points. Have to solve the points issue.

[@davidmarshall9781]

Do you realise or know that the P GA Tour took $45m usd from the CPP Chinese Government? And kept it despite the collapse of the Chinese Tour.

[@1culleng]

PGAT can piss off… LIV keeps all events and does deal with DPWT

[@josephroberts6865]

The PGA Tour is not going to come to a meaningful agreement with LIV for two primary reasons:Jay Monahan and Tiger Woods. Monahan is not going to give up power to anyone willingly and Tiger doesn’t compromise with anyone. The other power brokers (the USGA, R&A, PGA of America, Augusta National, and the CEO of the DP World Tour) are in the PGAT’s camp presently. However, if they become frustrated with Monahan which is possible, Monahan could be left on an island. Much depends on how much money the PIF is willing to invest to force a merger. The fact that American investors invested $2.2B in the tour gives them leverage for some time. But sponsors are rightfully concerned and that money will only last so long with the tour doling it out by the tens of millions. So it remains to be seen just how long the PIF is willing to “negotiate” with Monahan before they go in a different direction and leave the PGA Tour on their own. Pressure from the other power brokers could force Monahan to come to an agreement.

[@davidchipman7612]

As soon as 1 or 2 more big names leave and go to Liv the PGA will be finished

[@johnburnett3942]

I think liv and the DP tour, would make a good marriage. One supporting the other. One individual and the other, team play. Let the pga tour do their own thing in the USA. The liv tour and the DP tour are both world wide tours.

[@johnburnett3942]

@@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656 yeah that's right. At the moment the dp tour is just a feeder tour for the pga. They need to end that.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

@@johnburnett3942I would agree but then we would end up with a different kind of fracture. The key imo is that LIv drop an event or two, and the pga tour drop it’s minimum requirement significantly; then the euros can have a chance to do all the big DP events.

Boycott pro golf tours. The dude that won the tour championship was paid $125 million. That kind of pay out is why golf equipment costs so much. When you buy those $600 drivers from China, you are contributing to pro golfers and their obscene pay scale. We need to boycott pro tour golf and concentrate only on KZbin golf.

[@edge21str]

The money just moves where the eyes are. I've seen youtubers have sponsorship deals to have their clubs in the bag with Takomo, Mizuno, Wilson and others. It'll just end up the same way eventually and you'll have youtubers with hundreds of million dollars deals.

[@stuartwood5571]

The solution is to terminate negotiations with PIF and move on. The PGAT doesn’t need PIF$ now. There are perhaps unresolvable issues with US anti monopolistic laws that can be avoided by rejecting LIV. No, watching Bryson is not REMOTELY a viable reason to merge with LIV. The PGAT with its new partnership has greatly increased the income potential of its players to the point that it’s unlikely anymore stars will be lost to LIV. If they didn’t jump before why would they now?

[@Jethro3263]

Pga will be broke within 3 years.

[@sevesellors2831]

All about money and we amateurs are paying handsomely for our equipment and watching events. Personally apart from the Ryder cup I don’t like team events it should be players taking on the course over 4 days.

[@jeffguzzetta4228]

It all comes down to one HUGE question: how do you pay the PGA loyalists? Can’t blame Rory, Scotty, Ricky, Colin, JT and on and on to just let the LIV guys back without big time compensation for their loyalty to the PGA! The financial burden is huge. THIS IS THE STICKING POINT that nobody can solve.

[@stevec2739]

The Dubai port tour should have taken the offer initially instead of continually sending there best players to the pga tour which is now dull as dishwater.

[@franz289]

Its not going to happen. A merger taking this long to decide talking points is just an illusion. The PGA Tour has no leverage. The Stars are diluted and the fans want to see the stars play against each other and only the 4 Majors offer that feature.

[@chevy4x466]

It’s almost as if professional athletes only care about their money

[@Syrin23]

Extending the season would be STUPID. Players are telling you they need down time. And the LIV money is great for the players, but except for Bryson, every single LIV player is worse now than when they were in the PGA. They will have no golf legacy. The whole thing is a giant cluster

[@tomt.2385]
