Yeah, he's a class golfer. Hopefully he finds himself back in a productive environment on the PGAT. LIV definitely was not a match for him.

Of all people I think couldn’t care less what drunk American knobs think of him on or off the course I would say Brooks is the perfect character to deal with it.Waste Management could be interesting, what odds on some disgruntled spectators full of lite beers making their feelings known about the return?

This forum was nearly unanimous that Koepka was a ‘has been’ a few years ago and wasn’t any good anyway

I've got a funny feeling there will be some backlash here from existing PGAT players that fell for the promises to those that stayed loyal.
Integrity of the PGAT will be under some serious scrutiny in the coming days, and rightfully so.

Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark might have a few million regrets/questions!

Well Schauffele earning over £100mil and winning a couple of majors will be ok
Clark just the £30mil and one major

According to Ten Golf
Rahm is staying on LIV
Sergio will be playing in the Bahrain championship in a couple of weeks.
Maybe what we are actually seeing here is European players returning to Europe (The DPWT to be specific), and US players returning to the US tour.

A small fraction of what they could have pocketed on LIV, if they hadn't believed the lies about the insufferable consequences of betraying the PGA Tour.

It’s comical reading the comments posted by the liv supporters who have cried about others posting similar stuff in the past.

Or they might not be as greedy as others? Or they may not want to be travelling the world playing exhibition events.
All of these comments just prove the only thing liv has going for it is the money, that’s it.
I suspect Bryson will be getting a much more tempting offer very soon.

In case you missed it, pro golf is all about the money - always has been. The biggest tours and the biggest events have always been the ones with the most of it, and players have always followed it.Or they might not be as greedy as others?

Yes, many players (mostly Americans) prefer to play on the PGA Tour's US-based travelling circus of exhibitions for millions of dollars rather than the ones that LIV operates around the world. Seemingly no-one now prefers the old European Tour, which is rather sad state of affairs, but one of their own making and hopefully not yet irreversible.
The players mentioned were in late stage discussions with LIV, along with a few others. By far the biggest reason they didn't go was belief in the supposed consequences (such as that there would be no way back) that kept being peddled - which were always a lie when it came to the big names (perhaps with the exception of Phil Mickelson), and so it has now proved.

People make choices based on the best information they have available at the time. If one makes such a choice for A rather than B, one should not expect compensation from A for that choice.

While I understand the pgat seeing an opportunity & furiously back peddling on their own ‘ban sanction’ to provide a re-entry route for one of the ‘gang’ (to the point of tailor-making the criteria around his achievements & other potential targets)
It’s still a bit of a kick in the teeth to others who were banned & for me the tours credibility takes another hit

Ive just read, that Marco Penge has signed with PXG.
That is a great signing for them id say, he certainly gets talked about a lot.

He's a bomber, and a good player, and it's going to be interesting to see how he gets on in PGAT events.
Very much on the way up. Obviously there is an element of gamble from pxg but that will be reflected in the deal. A good signing for both, in my head.

Really? Full club deal? Why would he do that when he’s been playing so well!
So many lessons from the past where players have struggled after signing with a new manufacturer.

I don't think there at that many manufacturer fail stories - most of them can play with anything unless the gear is pure junk. The only bad ones I can think of were Rosey's Honma clubs and Bubba with the Volvik ball.
Penge was supposedly a Mizuno staffer before this, although it looks like he only really played their driver and irons, along with Vokey wedges, Scotty putter and a TM mini driver. The Golf Monthly article is seemingly suggesting he'll continue to use the Vokeys and Scotty. So I'm sure he'll do fine.
