That’s one of the greatest door slams we’ve seen on the Sunday of a major. Absolutely floored by what we just witnessed.

@zagnut @TronCarterNLU Just a very specific type of ball that would happen to pass the test. This outcome was easy to foreshadow with how good tech is. Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone with a working brain.

@TronCarterNLU He’s making the point it’s a futile rollback. He’s mocking the USGA and R&A.

🤌🤌🤌 Glad this is getting out there. Let’s get everyone’s cards on the table. Very much pro-rollback. But tough to be pro *this* rollback. Let’s do it right. And do more than just the ball.

An interesting story out of the PGA Championship. Multiple sources confirmed that Cameron Young has been using a golf ball that would very likely be deemed conforming under the new testing standards set out by the R&A and USGA. Read ⬇️ golfchannel.com/pga-tour/news/…

Rolling the ball back will actually INCREASE the importance of distance. I was in a group text with some friends. A few of them think distance is too important and want it to be less important. I told them that if you want to make distance less important, you'd make PGA Tour courses way SHORTER.

Phil exposed the hidden treasure chest that Jay was hiding.. all of a sudden Signature not cut events, higher purses, guaranteed money for rookies.. do you think it would have happened without out LIV
Stickman@Hiking_Arizona

@CarsleyGolf Phil created division. Greg created division. Jay defended his tour. And won. Rahm made his bed. And deserves everything he gets. Everyone made choices. Golf fans just chose the PGAT because it’s way, way better.

Too much Jon Rahm slander going around. He’s hitting the ball arguably as well as he ever has, and he will be in contention on Sunday.

Rahm spoke a bit about LIV’s path toward today: “I have faith in the work that they're doing. I have faith that they're going to come up with a good plan.”

Tee Times@TeeTimesPub·
The sole purpose of the expanded DP World Tour agreement is to prevent the DP World Tour from partnering with LIV Golf. The PGA Tour increased their ownership in European Tour Productions (The DP World Tour's media rights and broadcasting arm) from 15% to 40% in 2022. If the PGA Tour gets their way in the ongoing negotiations, this will increase to 60% in the coming years. In return for their ownership increasing to 40% PGA Tour agreed to underpin the DP World Tour's purses and guarantee total purse increases year over year for the next 5 years. From 2024 to 2025 the total purses on the DP World Tour only increased by around 2%. In exchange for this guarantee, the DP World Tour formalized a pathway for it's top players to leave their tour and play on the PGA Tour. Players doing so have had varying levels of success with many returning to the DP World Tour after failing to maintain their PGA Tour card, largely due to the divided schedule that puts them in the B-Tier and limits their ability to compete with the top players. More importantly, this saps the DP World Tour of their best and most marketable players. It creates an environment where they aren't actually able to be independently successful, an environment where they must rely on the PGA Tour's underpinning and cannot grow on their own. The DP World Tour has traded 40% of their company and created a dependency on an entity who's also preventing them from being financially successful. All for a 2% in purses this year and underpinning that's only required because of the agreement itself. On the flip side, there's been reporting that SSG, the group that invested in the PGA Tour, is unhappy with the "strategic alliance". They're underpinning these purses and in return get equity in an unsustainable entity and a small number of assets that they likely would have received most of anyway (the players). One side is paying for something that's hamstrung by the existence of the alliance, and the other can't be independently successful because of it. And the irony of it all is if the DP World Tour found a way to become financially successful while the alliance still exists, they'd have traded 40% of their company for nothing because they would no longer need the underpinning. It's a complete mess for both sides, but it serves it's sole purpose. That is, preventing the DP World Tour from any kind of mutually beneficial agreement with LIV Golf that could lessen the stranglehold the PGA Tour has on the professional game.

Amazing that the DP tour loses the very best 10 players every year and weakening the DP tour How does the DP tour bring in sponsorship for tournaments when losing them players What really is the DP tour now I see it has a feeder tour for the PGA tour ? Wow 😡

@StephenRoche100 @inuspga @GolfChannel What the fuck is wrong with you? Roch Lerner never said one bad word about LIV. Find the videos, it doesn’t exist. You’re everything that’s wrong with this app.

Rich Learner asking “why did LIV fail to catch on in the United States?” After spending 5 years on a show actively campaigning against it at every level - using influence over fans, sponsors and networks. Gee, I wonder.🤔🙄🙄🙄 @inuspga @GolfChannel

Eamon Lynch@eamonlynch·
You nodded along with David’s comment and followed him by saying people were determined to will LIV out of existence, as if the league needed help on that. Perhaps the Kool Aid impacts your faculties, but I don’t work for the PGA Tour. Nor for any entity that murders people.
Arlo White@arlowhite

Your typing speed has never occurred to me Eamon, and even a cursory review of that particular moment would confirm that. Personally, I’d suggest the use of the delete key more, but that’s just an opinion. Am I a bigger employer based pimp than you?

LIV GOLF Haters. You tell us that the LIV Team concept is so stupid and nobody cares about it. Yet you PGA dipshits foam at the mouth every time the Ryder Cup comes around. A TEAM EVENT. You fucksticks are insufferable and don’t think before you open your mouths.

So if the DP tour wasn’t involved with the pga tour How would they be all be exempt to play on the pga tour ? For sure I won the order of merit twice and I wasn’t exempt to play the pga tour
Irish on Tour@Irish_On_Tour

@IWoosnam The Tour isn't giving away their best 10 players, it's the top 10 who aren't already members. The best have been going to the PGA Tour anyway. All of last year's Ryder Cup team (the ones who matter most and drive interest/attract sponsors) were PGA Tour members.
