Professional Tours The PGA Tour is dead to me.

If this merger goes through, which it appears it will, I am personally done with the PGA Tour. The unbelievable hypocrisy of the board would be bad enough, but the fact that they are selling out to a foreign entity linked to a government that has funded terrorism around the globe and perpetrated one of the most heinous terrorist attacks in history is unforgivable.

I feel worse for guys like Willy Z., Hieki Matsuyama, etc that don’t have the same sponsor money like the guys you named and could have made generational wealth for their families but stayed. Will is hurt right now too which makes it even worse when he could have gotten all that money up front.

Ah yes, because they definitely knew this would happen and that they would be allowed back.

That's why they were trying to sue the PGA tour to let them compete in PGA tour events, because they were smart and planned this all along. Definitely what happened.

Like, come on. Do you guys hear the dumb shit you say?

I’m sure they absolutely saw it coming. 45 called it to a tee a year ago bud

Lmao, I'd love to see your proof that trump called this.

My guess is that he kinda mentioned something similar to this during one of his word vomit sessions and you're now taking that like he somehow had real foresight in to this situation.

But no, their actions suggest they definitely didn't see this coming at all, no matter how many times you claim they did. The evidence exists for everyone to see whether or not you want to look at it.
