PGA gonna be ok they have Rory,Morikawa, and of course Tiger. Another young star can come along at anytime. In LIV most of golfers had their best days Phil,Dusty,Sergio. When LIV gets a TV deal thats when it gets interesting because those ratings will speak volumes.

Tiger flabby. Rory damn near washed. Morikawa is cool.
But mostly none of these dudes are interesting or stars. Bryson was the last guy like that tbh
How deep are the pga’s pockets?
Rory is #2 in the world right now
Rory just won 3 weeks ago… Bryson hasn’t won March 2021… the biggest person LIV got was brooks, who I’d say is the 7 biggest asset right now… morikawa, rahm, JT, speith, tiger, scheffler
Then you have inarguably bigger talents with careers ahead of them in zalatores, Hovland, burns, Xander, cantlay, cam smith
The Saudi government tour is never going to get a tv deal in America, Scottish open isn’t allowing them (a co-sponsered euro tour event) so euro tour doesn’t look like a place pros can rack up owgr points, so these guys are playing for nothing but money…
In America, a B level anything has never worked, a lesser league never works… this is usfl with infinite pockets, so it can keep going
The thing is, will the saudis ever get their goal of acceptance from western civilizations and make people forget the murder, and it won’t.. they are pissing money away on a losing marketing strategy

I haven't really been paying attention to this outside of the initial Phil stories but does this league have a TV deal in the US? Like will they get their own events/tours broadcast here?
The US government doesn't own the PGA Tour nor does it use the PGA in order to sportswash its government's atrocities.
And human rights violations in the USA are rampant, but they don't compare to a nation that doesn't even recognize such rights as a thing.
USA tortures and kills journalists merely for putting out stories that make it look bad? The USA prohibits women from driving or going out without a male escort? The USA has the death penalty for being gay?
US has done a TON of dirtbag shyt. A lot we don't even know about.
And let's not get started on the shyt our people have been going through and continue to deal with since we were brought here.
Throwing rocks in a glass house is corny.
And it ain't like the Saudi's aren't US Allies either.

Ok lemme clarify my Rory comment. I was being hyperbolic. He’s one of the top golfers but he’s at a point now where only major wins are what matters. The most compelling question for Rory is whether or not he can finally win a Masters. I’m not tuning in to watch Rory win a random PGA tour event.

Nope but it’s easily available via stream. Kinda like the Masters
You didn't answer a single thing I said straight up, you're just deflecting and moving the goalposts.
Let me repeat again: The US government does not own the PGA Tour nor does it use the PGA to sportswash its human rights atrocities. The actual Saudi people who commit these atrocities are the ones who run the LIV tour and they're clearly trying to use the LIV tour as a way to normalize their actions and avoid accountability.
And the fact that you're reduced to saying, "The USA does shyt we don't know about!" in your weak attempt to ignore that the Saudis don't have to hide what they do, they openly don't give a shyt about human rights and still have you throwing on a cape for murdering journalists and treating women like shyt just because they have a golf tour.
Breh if the PGA Tour was enslaving or segregating Black people or shooting them on the streets I would DEFINITELY support a boycott. WTF does shyt Black people have gone through in US history have to do with the PGA tour in 2022, what are you getting out of that?
You literally just tried to name-check Black suffering as a way to whitewash Saudi atrocities like you're just playing internet games.
What is all these capin' for the US Gubment and these cacs who run the PGA Tour for? It's white man hypocrisy at the end of the day.

THE US GOVERNMENT DOES NOT OWN THE PGA TOUR. Stop this dumbass deflection shyt if you can't even read the shyt you're responding to.
If the "cacs who run the PGA Tour" ever start torturing and dismembering journalists I will be the first one on the boycott train.
Just admit that you loves sports more than you give a shyt about human rights. You virtually never even mention human rights except when you're pulling this "both sides!" bullshyt, so cut the crap.
