LIV Golf

[Mel Smooth]

Which PGA tour event does this clash with out of interest.

It doesn’t, hence the reason I said some implications.

4 players getting £4mil each for 18 holes on a course that’s $1500 a round

Everything that’s wrong with the sport - bankrolled by no doubt the Saudi money

Just dripping of trying to buy it all

The “match” was bad and cringey enough - this will be no better. Can just imagine the faux banter now

A few players getting $4m they don't really need

I don't see any legal implications for the PGAT members in playing this event, whoever is promoting it. Maybe you could enlighten me.

It’s no different to them playing in some pro am for McManus etc in the past - it’s not a tour event

 

[Lord Tyrion]

There have been a few of these in recent years. So called challenges for whopping money. Awful things, thankfully easy to avoid.

The Showdown: Date And Course Set As Reported Appearance Fee Emerges For Las Vegas TV Match Featuring McIlroy, Scheffler, DeChambeau And Koepka

“Further details emerged on Thursday when Dan Rapaport reported he had heard each player was guaranteed $4 million in appearance money - the same number victorious LIV golfers earn per event.”

PGAT players can play on a non conflicting date - and there aren’t many with the wrap around calendar, riight?

I’d think a half decent lawyer would use that as evidence in a monopoly argument at least.

Also, this is not really a legal point, but having two PGAT players, the two most famous outside of Tiger, on a LIV branded and produced piece of media, represents a significant step change in mens pro golf doesn’t it?

Did wonder if Shaufflee was a tad gutted not to be asked (if that's the case)

Not sure it will matter too much when the audience of that Liv branded account is that small the reach is very insignificant

Rapaport took down that information I believe as it was wrong.

Rory really is full of .

If Shaufflee wasn't, I flipping well was.

Fully understand with your social media presence

Can feel a petition coming on...

Of course, and you may or may not be right on the legalities of that, but what the hell has it got to do with this exhibition match.
