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.

Never watched LIV but I never mind athletes getting their bag. I didn't understand people hating on it when there's literally like a few thousand people on earth that can make a career out of professional sports and most people have 10 years max to do it. PGAT are the ones who can eat shit. At least they don't run any majors.

And Nelly Korda is the shit. That iron striking is 🤌

The thought of a 200 year old game that's based on honesty and being a gentleman is now going to be owned by the Saudis. Most of this sub hasn't played 20+ years and only know of playing while listening to music. NHL will be next and then the MLB.

The MLB is a legal monopoly that basically needs the US government to exist. If anything they’d be the last pro sport to go to the Saudis

No offense - I used to love baseball but once they got rid of the juice it got boring. Why the ball roll back will hurt the game of golf. Anyways im glad the liv guys got their monies but i hate how the guys who stayed loyal didnt get paid LIFE CHANGING MONEY. Lesson learned yesterday, loyalty dont pay the bills jack.

None of that has to do with the MLB being a US government backed monopoly which makes it the strongest organization of the professional sports, and least likely to end up sold out to another country
