Really reasonable take on it from Rahm. Pretty easy to do though when you’ve earned $33M in prize money alone by the age of 27. I wonder how much his Callaway deal was worth?.

As opposed to horsefield who won more finishing 5th this weekend than any of his 3 wins on the ET tour.

I think that was also half his point as well - yep he is paid well from his prize money and sponsorship and can retire now if he wishes but he is just playing for the love of the game as opposed to the financial rewards offered. But he is mainly only interested in winning the big comps on the historic courses and doing it against the best in the game
But as he said he can see why some are using it to fund their retirement

Considering I'm a high functioning bi polar sufferer I could find that offensive...but I'll let it slide this time.

I understand where you’re coming from and I believe that is partly the rationale. Part a large part (today) is about diverting attention away from their human rights record. The acquisition of Newcastle is a perfect example: the Saudis will become popular in Newcastle if they bring success to the football club, many fans already see the new owners as better than Mike Ashley.

Why did he mention 400 million?
Is that what was on the table for him ?

Why is it the same people always end up ruining threads by being bellends incapable of reasoned discussion.

Early mutterings on the rumour mill is that the reason DPWT have been silent is because they're about to be bought out by the Saudis for a huge amount of money.....

Was DP a front? I mean would they have sanctioned a direct sale to Saudis .. but sell to dp owned by the UAE who are allies of saudi
Maybe this was a long term plan?
If this is true it's huge. They can get players to complete on the former ET who wouldn't otherwise have .. grow that tour up and solve the world ranking issue.

The fly in the ointment that can see is that they will still be chasing the top players who, in the main, are based in USA...
They don't mind a couple of weeks away from home a couple of times a year but if this happens and they take on existing tour events..Will the players want to travel that far..?
Could get interesting

Liked some players saying lets focus on the US Open this week, but it's a hot topic of conversation.

If the Saudi's bought the DP Tour, what would have been the point of LIV? Surely they'd just buy DP and then turn it into the global tour they are trying with LIV, throwing extortionate money at the players.

The other that didn't receive so much coverage was the Asian tour holding an event in the UK. Keith Pelley made reference to it.
