If any one of us was self employed, and a major purchaser to who we could sell our services to started imposing sanctions, what would be our reply?
I’m not interested in the morals of the argument dished out by some on here apart from to ask where were your moans when the European Tour, and the US PGA were having events/co-sanctioned events in the Middle East?
I don’t think this is anything to do with a moral argument, it’s the US PGA imposing restrictive practices. It will either stand or fall, and I’m not fussed either way as long as I get to see good golf played.

First off, I’d check exactly what was in the contract between us when I started ‘selling‘ my services to them - what were my obligations and what were theirs.

That's not the LIV golf model, is it? Aren't they wanting to operate like the Champions League in football, or like the IPL in cricket, where they have a few events a year that the best in the world come and play? Who the best in the world is will still be determined by the PGA tour and European tour. Don't think they are seeking to replace the PGA Tour, they want to co-exist and supplement what is already there. Long-term, LIV golf only works if that happens and they get the best players in the world, the money alone isn't enough to make watching a field made up of a few of the top 20 and load of has beens interesting beyond an event or two.

Top tip for mobile is to download Newpipe (for free) which is a YouTube client. It removes all the adverts from videos, allows you to listen with the screen turned off and download videos or rip the audio to your phone.

DJ and Paulina will be all over that!

Sounds like DJ sees this massive pay day as a way out of golf.

The moral outrage by the journos on everyone's behalf is outrageous.... albeit slightly funny ironic, as all the gifs and memes are leading to greater promotion. England will play a World Cup in December - the softball questions to Southgate and Kane have been shocking. Is there anywhere Kane wouldn't play for money? The answer will be the same as GMacs -"we're not politicians, we play where we're told". I would have no issue with the systematic onslaught if it was consistent. The PGA Tour killed the ET, purely because of money. Carters post-interview analysis of his interview with Norman is as ridiculous as it is unfair. There's no impartiality going into these discussions. Arguments about the cash are irrelevant - that ship sailed when the ET failed to crack down on those playing the majority of their golf in the USA. Discussions about the source of the money and human rights records are relevant - as relevant for golf as it is for F1, Football, Tennis etc. Andy Murray can hold his head high. But that's it. Didn't we just have an Olympics and World Cup in Russia? Despite Russia's abhorrent views on homosexuality etc.? The double standards are shocking, imho.
For all the commentary about the line-up, LIVs is far better than DPWT's offering this weekend. Had a look at the power rankings for the Canadian Open and in all honesty, if it wasn't for Scotty Shuffler, Thomas, Lowry, McIlroy, Hatton and Smith I'm not sure what interest I'd have in it.
As more names start to roll, as a 'product', I can't help but think that people like Beef Johnston, Andy Sullivan and even Justin Rose would be well served trying to get on board. I'd tune in every week for Andy Sullivan alone.

If I had a contract working for GSK developing a new drug for asthma, and Pfizer came along and signed me up to work on their similar drug for asthma, GSK would rightly be p'd off and terminate my contract, and possibly sue if I started the latter without telling them.
I have declined work several times for precisely those reasons.

You prefer amoral outrage?
I bet GMac would rethink his breezy dismissal if he was invited to take part in the Northern Ireland Open, accepted then discovered it was being sponsored by Sinn Fein.

It's a lot of money, but keep in mind that it has taken 12 years to do so. LIV isn't about to recoup its costs in a few events, far from it.
