Excellent piece by Gary Van Sickle on reunification...
'A LIV Golf, PGA Tour reunification? Pass'

We have something that works. It's called the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. We owe LIV and the Saudis nothing...
'I said ‘listen, we’ve got to get together, we’ve got to pull it all together, we’ve got to find the product that works.
- Martin Dempster
Stand firm PGA Tour!

This is what real tour pros aspire to:
“I knew that if I could get into the top ten on the DP World Tour I could also go onto the PGA Tour, so yes I will become a DP World Tour now and I aim to be a PGA Tour member in the future.”-Yuto Katsuragawa
Stand firm PGAT. No PIF deal!!

Interesting reader feedback on the question, 'Who is to blame?' firstcallgolf.com/the-first-call…

Incredible historic document...

THIS IS LIV...

'Ahead of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Rory McIlroy perfectly epitomized the greedy state of professional golf: 'I think the one thing we’ve learned in golf over the last two years is there’s never enough [money].'' - Rory McIlroy

Then we fans say fuck 'em all.

McIlroy is the mole whose goal is to serve as LIV/PIF's voice in the PGA Tour/Enterprises boardroom and complete a deal with the Tour so his Ryder Cup buddies (Rahm, Hatton, etc.) are eligible again. His transparent efforts disgust me.

'George May...contributed more than any other individual to making blatant capitalists out of the professional golfers....before he soured on the pros and pulled out of the sponsors' guild.' - From book 'Fred Corcoran'
May saw then what we see still now: selfishness & ingratitude

With all due respect to Frankie, nobody is going to convince me that a huge contributing factor to such scoring from him and others in today's game is not equipment. A hot, straight, ball, huge driver heads with the entire face the sweet spot, and irons the same. Roll back tech!

Quote of the Day
'Maybe people are choosing to play golf while telling us this post-Tiger generation is insufferable after two years of money talk as they play an unreliable, bloated, takes-forever and less soulful version of the game.' - Geoff Shackelford

Pure BS from an organization clearly on defense after an indefensible money-grab. The fans of the game are not amused...

This is so wrong. It's a bribe. What happened to 'For the love of the game'?

Had a bunch of comments on my clubface postings lately, so thought I’d outline my thoughts one last time. I’m not a big online debater, I post my findings and you can do what you will with it. I’m only trying to help. There are numerous swing styles and clubface positions but it…

Jake Hower LIV Golf It's the Harlem Globetrotters complete w/uniforms & uninteresting tracks outside of a couple. Liv can buy players who will sell out to work for the Saudis. But, they'll never have tradition or legacy. It's a mockery of professional golf. Why do you want SA to own men's pro golf?

'The simplest way forward is to find a solution that will bring golf’s best players together more than four weekends a year...' - James Colgan, GOLF
James, you're forgetting that the superstars who went to LIV pissed off a lot of people. They've lost their shine and their game.

Yes, Viktor, please go. We are the PGA Tour, headquartered in the United States. You are a European Tour player representing Europe in the Ryder Cup. You will be much more comfortable with your buddies, and we won't miss you. We only want legacy players.
