OT: LIV/PGA Merger

[CajunVic]

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.

Step up and provide your thoughts instead of being a _____ . . . That is acceptable conduct . . .

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 . . .

Not everyone had to take the same risk. Some didn't take the money because the tour was leading them to believe this would destroy the tour. Some had no choice but to shut up & do as told. Those people weren't given a choice, since the tour was their only viable opportunity to make a living plying their trade. They were stabbed in the back by their organization. If that isn't the very definition of an anti trust violation, then there isn't one.

Remember this post the next time you want to whine about NIL, or the transfer portal.

You have definitely mistaken me for some other poster.

I’m definitely not a GOLF guy. Is this good or bad for the sport?
