OT: LIV/PGA Merger

[MelRock]

Realignment is not done, and look for more movement, at least the announcements, over the next 12 months.

Colorado, Arizona and Uconn to Big 12....

That and neither did PIF want a financial exam in court. Plus PIF could have drained PGA TOUR dry, kept signing players and won in the end.

This way the Tour gets paid and their members will all get paid, not as much as the LIV guys got, but the LIV guys took the chance and won.

There was no way the LIV tour could have driven the PGA out of business. The LIV tour was DOA. The issue is the PGA players who were threatened by the tour to be permanently barred from tour events if they signed a deal with the LIV tour. Those players have a hell of a case now if they decide to sue the tour themselves. If there was ever a case of anti trust, this is it.

Well all suits between the two organizations have been dropped, so who will sue with an antitrust suit? Just like the NCAA and pro sports, who has the coin to take them on?

Spending boat loads of money on litigation often results in compromise. Litigation is expensive negative energy. Resolution allows that money to be redirected towards success of the venture(s).

Like I said yesterday . . .

The players who were threatened with being banned from the PGA tour if they joined LIV should have a great case to sue the PGA.

For what . . . they got the big payday and are back in the PGA . . . To give some money back . . .

You obviously don't understand all that happened. Educate yourself & then your comments will be more valuable.

Players who chose not to take money either because of loyalty to the tour, or fear of losing their ability to make a living due to threats from the PGA deserve a lion's share of the money from this "merger"/buyout. This isn't about who got paid. It's about who got screwed over.

Why do they "deserve" it? Each player made his own risk assessment and made a choice. Worked out for some, didn't for others.

It’s called business . . . sometimes those who are Lilly White do not end up on top. They all made business decisions. Any suit now should probably result in those who want to litigate as opposed to play, get to litigate. If they choose that path, it is quite possible that they are banned from the very organization which they stuck with and will not get to play . . . not really an option . . .
