Everyone is in it for the money, that is why they are Professional, so neither side should be saying anything

Monahan is on about 7 million a year now.
The PGA Tour operates as a not for profit organisation - based on it's claims of it's charity work, and gets many tax breaks from the IRS because of this.
3% of the PGA Tours money goes to charities, around double of what the commisoner takes for himself.
Corrupt.
It would be a pretty poor form if we didn’t discuss our opinions wouldn’t it ??Everyone is in it for the money, that is why they are Professional, so neither side should be saying anything
A bit of strange comparison, but also fundamentally not true. Test Matches are slowly dying, with young cricketers now seeing the IPL as the pinnacle instead of 5 day internationals. Sad, but also understandable as the money is crazy.It’s good to see a different format. It didn’t harm cricket with the 20/20 format and there was a lot of scepticism when that started.
I'm not here to defend him, but youre just making stuff up. Last published wage for him was $3.9m including incentives and bonuses. Covid saw him forgoe his salary completely.
Indeed, and when was that last set of accounts dated?
Even then, the tax avoidance status, the charity donations, and the salary of the commisioner should all be questioned, shouldn't they?
How many events were played in the year he waived some of his salary?

I like T20 (or whatever it is called) but it is harming test cricket.
PS The 100 is arguably worse than LIV's preposterous teams thing. Except of course it isn't, because LIV's team thing is truly the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in professional sports.
To be honest, the PGA Tour has made the players very wealthy. But, it is not just about them. Clearly they are the key component. But take away everyone that runs the game, the admin, the legals, the sponsorship, the broadcasting, the venues, etc. the players would be nowhere near as rich as they are. They need the "boring" non golfers on the PGA to deal with all that rubbish. The golfers can then focus on playing golf and getting from A to B.Monahan is on about 7 million a year now.

Corrupt.
The only way the PGA Tour can keep these top players is to ban them from the majors.
It's the only deterrent and I'm not sure legally whether they can do it.

with a bit of tweaking I think the teams idea could work well too.
How, and why ? Is it not just a random pick of four golfers and calling them this weeks team winners ? Its not a team game.
The teams element is the crowning of the nonsense, and shows how out of touch with golf as a sport the organisers are. I could imagine advertising or media types that come up with reality TV shows and the like thinking it was a good idea though.
Sam Horsfield currently in a position where he will win over double the amount today, than his total career earnings. Go on my son.
Is it still not just four random players being declared the team winners though ? So there is no team really. Just the illusion of one. They are doing literally nothing as a team. Other than a made up name, no one will have any allegiance to a team or players. Its very poor. But does indicate how badly thought out this "innovation" is. Maybe there is a team concept for pro golf somwhere. But if this is the best they could come up with, they shouldnt have gone with it. It just makes them look stupid.Im not so sure.. Drafts work well
so say your "team" is the aces.. this week you got DJ.. next week you could have bryson
it keeps it interesting rather than having DJ always for the aces

Its just money, and sports fans dont care about the money. Following golf for years, and I honestly dont know what the prize money is for the winner, down the field, or total fund is. Nor what their annual money list total is. All that matters there is the ranking. Fans are interested in winners, and this weekend's LIV will not count as a sporting win in any serious way, even if Horsfield were winning 100M£. Money does not a win make.
