You’re right. Every country has skeletons in the closet.
I guess my point is that the PGA Tour itself doesn’t torture people (apart from Brandel Chamblee’s commentary) and is not funded by organisations which do either.

Have they announced any players yet?

Might be worth booking tee times for when the events are supposed to be taking place.
Once the cancellations take place they may offer reduced rates, just to get people on the courses.

Bugger, it’s only 30 minutes from my house but I’m away in the lakes that weekend ?

I don’t think they will be short of players. I think announcements will come closer to the 1st event 8 LIV events with a 25 million dollar purse at each one. If the big names turn it down good luck to the others that get in. Hoping to go to the Centurion it’s a short walk for me.

I wonder who they'll get to play. Slaley is a decent enough course

Rather watch them two than Westwood.

Bubba Watson, Poulter, Westwood and Kevin Na mentioned in reasonably plausible rumours so far.
So more of a contender to the Seniors tour really.

With Langer, Olazabel, Lyle and Couples and usually Phil, it’s no more so than the US Masters ?

A lot of players seem to go into the doldrums in their later 40s waiting for the Champions Tour. This might be a way of supplementing their pensions, but I wonder if "an understanding" has been reached with the Champions Tour. Westwood and Poulter would want to play in the Senior majors, at least. The Senior (British) Open is still available to them, but some of the others might not if they are banned by the PGA Tour.

Surely Poulter - and maybe Westwood too - wouldn't take the chance in being banned from ever being Ryder Cup captain?

You would think, but making a load of easy money may be turning their heads. They might also think that it will all calm down in a couple of years and the bans will be revoked.
Luke Donald is an interesting case too. I think he has missed out on RC Captain (although could be back if Westwood and Poulter are out of the picture), he isn't really competitive on the PGA Tour now, so what does he do?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the impression Poulter gives is of the original Flash Boy.…pretty sure some Middle Eastern sunshine and a few millions to buy a gold Lamborghini and some jazzy trousers would be welcomed

He does come across like that but the Ryder Cup oozes from every pore of Poulter...I'd be amazed if he'd risk not getting the Captaincy
