Michael Collins has real talent I was legit laughing out loud with his sarcasm

[@josephraganas7253]

Michael Collins left me in stitches. You gotta love the man. 🤣🤣

Stephen A. killed it with this take, He named names and took no prisoners.

[@thomasjoseph3488]

He really did. Strong, man, strong - especially taking on that paragon of personal virtue and loyalty, Woods.

PGA member here. The Tour has been a racket for years. It's refreshing that the b.s. has finally come to light

[@nathanshackelford7812]

GREAT segment. Almost can't believed they allowed all that to be said on ESPN. I would have just assumed they also had a business relationship with the PGA. Michael Collins is a performer. Stephen A has that one signature cadence and rant style. It deservedly earned him millions. Collins sounds like he's just trying to have fun though next level with the changes in cadence, pitch, and the sarcasm. Haha.

[@silverxanman905]

Yes which highlights these men are more into themselves than sports.. it's all about going into character

Phil nailed this and I’m not a fan of his. He said LIV was a chance to apply pressure to the PGA because they weren’t doing what they could to take care of it’s players. Tiger and Rory should be ashamed honestly.

I totally agree with Stephen A on this one here. Of course Tiger was going to side with the PGA.

[@tuzaguilar4201]

Amazing rant Stephen A! Give Phil his due. He got his neck exposed. Got chewed up pretty bad. His Legacy was jeopardized. But these developments more than made up for his pain for sure. PGA Tour players owe him much.

[@xman9190]

Phil was criticized for saying he knows the Saudis are "scary mf'ers" but he would do business with them anyway to challenge the PGA. Phil got criticized for his lack of character and scruples.

[@RoloTheYoungBoss35]

Really couldn’t agree more!

[@xman9190]

@Brian Vos Please! Phil felt strongly about paying off his gambling debts. If Phil cared about the PGA he would have stayed and tried to reform it from within. Now he's part of the effort to destroy the PGA.

[@b.a.lincoln4175]

Michael Collins speaking was refreshing. ESPN needs to get him on more or give the man a podcast.

Steven A and Michael Collins are on point with this one. This was better than the NBA and football segment. 👍🏾👍🏾👊🏾 need more if Michael Collins. He needs to be on the Golf Channel and get rid a Damon Hatcher. Damon is clueless to issues like this and is a bandwagon responder. He says what he think the man wants to here. You have to be blind in one with Cataracs in the other not to see what the PGA is doing. Thanks Steven A and Michael Collins for bring the truth and not hiding the real truth.

[@kayodeakinwumi6182]

Stephen A is speaking the truth. I always wondered why the US is complaining about Saudi Arabia with relation to Golf when a lot of fortune 500 companies gladly transact with that Nation. That's the height of hypocrisy if I have ever seen one.

[@Paulafan5]

Players and fans had legitimate issues with the PGA Tour and those issues were ignored for years. Now, suddenly, they are addressing some of those issues? Meanwhile, many people in the media are still ignoring the real issues. They are just focused on the LIV tour having "Saudi Money" involved with it.

[@justmy5984]

American Govt has Saudi so what are we even talking about

[@2ndteddy18]

that's all that matters ''

[@kennethbailey6634]

All of this is nonsense no matter how you spin it. We know about business interest of a Tiger or Rory. We get all of that. I am with the chance to make more money. But LIV is about trying to destroy the format of American golf. If you ain't good enough to be on your than you can't make a living. Why do the PGA have to give out welfare checks do that everybody can play. If you keep playing good you can make $20,000 or more per month. Is anybody looking at the purse money at 75th place at some stops. The tour was not meant to be a MLB minimum salary.

[@joed545]

This is the first time ive seen Michael Collins on TV.. I LOVE IT!!!

[@thomasjoseph3488]

Collins is right on. I have to concur with so many that the PGA would never have moved a muscle without the pressure from LIV. That tells me everything I need to know about the PGA leadership (or ludicrously lack thereof).

[@dagwooddadollar8884]

Nice to have discovered the business bond between Tiggee, Ol' Roree and the PGA. Who knew those 2 had a share of PGA world rights. The new PGA with guaranteed money (career and per tournament) sure sounds like LIV. Add that to the gimmick of the made for TV Monday Night Golf League, more LIV copycat, different format, not original.

[@laplanta]

Bravo Stephen!!!!!!!! Well said. That was a parade of truth bombs right there.
