The real clown in this equation is Monaghan. He shouldn't earn a penny from this starting with his 9/11 comments to selling out.

I forgot exactly what he said but wasn't it more or less that the players that left have been living under a rock if they don't understand the impact of 9/11?  I recall Nantz asking him about it and Monaghan was seemingly very forceful with his disgust of those bolting for LIV as well as LIV in general. 

[The Sultan]

Monaghan's comments were always about protecting his own turf against a threat rather than any moral issues over 9/11.  That's why it looks so silly now.

...but it looks good on you....

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I'm as surprised as anyone and waiting for the details. Don't want to rush to judgment. (If there's anything I've learned from Scoop it's 5 years to judge.) I did see some blurb about the team concept being part of this deal. That's a head scratcher.

Selling out is easy when you're rich

[tower912]

I am generally optimistic, glass half full, etc.   I feel somewhere between Joey Hauser setting a screen against Brad Davison and Joey playing help defense against Ja Morant.

I rarely watch "regular" PGA Tour events, so this won't change anything for me in that regard. But I love the majors, especially on the Sunday of a closely contested one. It's too early for me to figure out what this all means as far as whether I'll continue watching those; need more details.

I really enjoyed watching this past Sunday's LPGA finish, with Rose Zhang winning her debut event. She could be golf's next Tiger Woods, and that's pretty exciting.

  i'm assuming you have boycotted anything Chinese too?  even the underbritches you wear are made in china.  unless torturing and butchering muslims are ok in your world

Bruh. The USA has been doing this for decades

Now, if the tour has Budweiser or Target as a sponsor, well, that's different

Or Chik-fil-A now, apparently.

The Shark was blinsided, too.  OK, that makes me laugh.




How will this affect the CW?

I told my son that hopefully the only good that comes out of this is that Greg Norman is told to go to hell.

LIV is dead.  Saudi's don't need it anymore.  They're in the game

[rocket surgeon]

Rocket has made it clear he doesn't believe golf is gentlemanly

  you're such a loser-you don't know a damn thing about me and my attitude toward golf

[Uncle Rico]

  you're such a loser-you don't know a damn thing about me and my attitude toward golf

No, you've made it abundantly clear

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

This sucks on so many levels. Monaghan is such a hypocrite, Sauidis can continue their global sports washing.

Monahan being trashed by players and media.

On the other hand, LIV is out of business and the defectors are not immediately back on tour.    How much $ do the defectors have to return?

Will the LIV guys even come back?  One of the reasons they left was so they could have more family time.  Cam Smith was pretty adamant about how great it was to spend more time with his mates in Australia.  Can't imagine he'll want to grind on tour again

[tower912]

Initial reports are that the European LIV players will not be eligible for the Ryder Cup.

Off the top of my head, so?  Sergio, I guess?  Casey?

[tower912]

Yeah, not a huge loss.   Long term, captaincies?

[Uncle Rico]

They'll get them now.  Ryder Cup in Jeddha will be amazing

I'd guess  they will return about $0.

[MuggsyB]

Could PGA membership dismiss Monaghan? 

I heard about a minute snippet of the guy and was not remotely impressed by anything he said.
