The PGA is concerned about wages as a secondary thing, but they're also mostly appalled by Saudi Arabia trying to essentially use sports as propaganda and doing so by throwing endless funds at players who want more competitive wages and tourney purses.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

It's a shame too, cuz even a lot of the players are straight up admitting that they're only doing this for the money, moral quandaries set aside.

from what I understand PGA members get benefits and have to participate in x events for point to qualify etc. its also that this Saudi bullshit is booking dates conflicting with PGA events, taking away their players by promising fat purses. its pretty shady garbage business. not to say the PGA is great, probably corrupt as fuck, but that would be why the PGA is mad

 

[Canadian Dragon]

but yes also gross blood money and sportswashing.

There's a great video on the subject.

[CakeWalker]

i mean i dont blame any golfer for wanting guaranteed money

 

[CakeWalker]

i know a few people who had to give up and were very good

 

[CakeWalker]

because all it took was bad form or an injury and you have no where to live

 

[CakeWalker]

comes off like a monopoly got angry at an investment group for having money

 

[Bobby Barrows]

LIV I think may ultimately do long-term good for the sport of golf in regards to wages, but short-term, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
