If I had to work for Jay Monahan or Keith Pelley I'd be away too.
They have treated their employees terribly and are going to have to accept the consequences for terrible management.
I hope Keith Pelley can sort something with LIV to get better players playing on the DPWT, which is what he should of done in the first place in my opinion.

Pro golf reminds me of the final bit of the crystal maze where contestants stand and grab money as frantically as they can in the big dome.
Thats on all sides btw. It's pathetic.
As a sport the whole thing is in the gutter.

Your opinion doesn't match any of his previous comments though.

And much like the Crystal Maze, most of time they still wanted more gold tokens when the fans stopped....
The other issue is to the game and it's reputation. It's generally struggled to get people involved and I see little from LIV that's going to massively shift that needle. There's also going to be a decent number of people who did watch golf who will just not bother any more because a) PGA tour is weaker, b) they don't like LIV because of the format or the Saudi money or c) they're just fed up of the whole mess.
This might change in the long run, who knows, but it wouldn't surprise me if viewing figures across the board took a significant hit and golf at the grass roots level is worse off for it.
Time will tell though.

Harold Varner at least was honest as to why he moved. No growing the game BS, he just went for the money!As if any of us would turn that kind of money down

Doesn't it? If you go back through the thread, you'll see I've always felt that Rahm could potentially move, despite his comments about the PGAT.

I play shotgun starts. I play Mulligan comps. I play Scrambles.
I probably play quite a few different formats. But I'd never watch them being played on TV. There is a difference between playing and watching

The PGAT - PIF merger will be interesting. Had many complications to it, especially how you allow LIV players back having made massive money from jumping ship, compared to better players who stayed on PGAT. Now Rahm just pockets £450 million, I suspect that makes things tricky to just walk right back into PGAT events
To me, professional golf has never been in a bigger mess.

I guess Rahm’s Feb 22 comments to play pgat can be read two ways depending on what narrative someone wants
He’s now moved to liv so it was all tosh, how can he do that… or… he did what he said and committed, in fact he stayed another 2 seasons with pgat, he never said he was committing for life
I’m not fussed which way folk read it but you all know it wasn't that definitive a comment

They’re just towing the party line end of, I fail to believe any of the golfers either LIV, DPWT or PGA don’t get coached in what to say in front of the cameras. I take everything they say with a massive pinch of salt and don’t let it waste my brain cells from getting worked up about it.

Why would they be coached? They are not employees at a club. They are self employed, and make their own decisions. It is up to them to justify those decisions.

He didn’t.

Now that is one of the most naïve comments I've read on here. Of course they're told what to say. They've taken the cash and now must follow the party line.
He has said he feels let down by the PGAT by recent events, whatever that means. Maybe it’s along similar lines to why Rory resigned off the tour board… who know?
