@LIVGolfNation Its been that way for a long time. The tour doesn’t matter. LIV doesn’t matter. Only the majors and the Ryder Cup matter, and after Bethpage I’m not sure the Ryder Cup does anymore.

Rory McIlroy doesn’t care about the vast majority of PGA Tour events, why should the fans? Golf is quickly becoming a sport with 5 annual events worth watching. Not a good formula for longterm success.

Nowhere in this article do they mention the Biden administration stopped a merger that might have saved the airline and that Democrats did a victory dance over it. This is the most pervasive media bias. It’s not the outright lies. It’s what they purposely omit.

Microsoft Teams, I will never want to open an Excel document in a browser. Never. Never ever.

Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…

@lennydykstra00 Bobby Jones was never a pro

@RCodyHall What don’t you like?

Had about 45 minutes and the end of my exam today, and I wrote out all the professional golfers I could think of

I’ve been in and out of playing the left dash the last couple of years. It’s a rocket off the tee. But if it brings Spieth back, it’s even better than I thought

@RyanJRiddle @JosephLaMagna Rose with the overtake!

@JosephLaMagna Birdie-Birdie bounce back.

Tough start for Rose

@ShaneRyanHere Oh I don’t think we’ve under-discussed that at all. The product has been laughable from the beginning. I really thought they would make changes to adapt and be viable, and they just never made it more serious

One under-discussed element of this whole thing is that LIV failed because it never came close to being cool. Their stunts were embarrassing (flash mobs!), their biggest supporters were weirdos, and every idea had that "middle-aged man who thinks he knows what kids like" energy

@secrettourpro Isn’t it just the board that votes on this though? They are the ones that voted to approve the returning member program in January. Are you saying they’re not going to do it again if Rolapp says he wants it?

Players could also have veto’ed Koepka’s return if they wished They would have needed a majority, but he was accepted.

@benny_bets33 @secrettourpro Correct, but this notion that players have veto power seems null if Rolapp wants it to be. They didn’t veto this 3 months ago, Rolapp can just do it again

@RCodyHall @secrettourpro That option was only valid for a very short period of time and he didn’t take that option

BREAKING NEWS It is understood that any return to the PGA Tour for John Rahm will be blocked by a number of PGA Tour Players who hold veto rights on such matters. Rahm is expecting the same treatment that Brooks Koepka received earlier this year. #SecretTourPro

@HoldenCCole No

The Pope is the leader of ALL Christians.

@screwthewilpons @mkloetz @gfienberg17 We'll see if you all are right in a few years. If he didn't matter he wouldn't have been offered the Koepka deal in January.

@mkloetz @RCodyHall @gfienberg17 Agreed. A few individual golfers don’t move the needle. If they did, people would’ve watched LIV. The tour isn’t better or worse without Rahm or Bryson. Nothing would change with either of them. The tour absolutely doesn’t need them and I hope they just wouldn’t come back

Disagree. Rahm is the most important player to get back. He will be the most competitive and is LIV's best player. Bryson is a unique commodity and I don't even know if he wants to play anything but the majors and YouTube. I think you give Rahm & Bryson the same offer as Koepka

@RyanJRiddle I think there’s a path back for him, but the tour doesn’t need him.

@RCodyHall Strongly agree. Any consideration for DJ? He’s in the twilight years of his career but was a prolific winner and a 2 time Major champion.

@gfienberg17 Why thankfully? In what world is the PGA Tour better off without Jon Rahm? He’s one of the five best players in the game, and will be for a decade.

@RCodyHall Thankfully you wont be correct. Yesterday's price is not today's price.

@chambleebrandel The majors feel more important than ever. I hope they remain independent from the Tour and the pinnacle of the game. I would love to see the PGA Tour move to a global model with fewer premier events for the top players to stay sharp between majors.

@chambleebrandel The PGA Tour still needs change. It's a horrible television product and the charitable nature of the game is not what it used to be. The Ryder Cup's product has dwindled because of greed and an unserious American side.

While there are many people celebrating the demise of LIV, for far too long there were far too many mute mouths about the cancer that LIV was and is. It tilted the game towards greed. It muddied the meritocratic aspects of golf. It’s likely that the philanthropic foundations of this game will, to some extent, be eaten into to fund the future equity of PGA Tour players. It stalled, or killed, the trajectory of hall of fame players. It divided the game. The only win, as I see it, is that LIV sought to launder the atrocities of the Saudis, but instead it further highlighted them. As LIV players sold their autonomy, the whole sport seemed to be in the throes of transition, from professionalism to authoritarianism. But the golf world knew that the Saudis were not interested in golf and that sport has norms that are worth preserving. Money, not for merit, but for the murky purposes of sportwashing crowds out those norms. It is in the striving to get better that one gets richer, that is the transformative influence of sport; both the athlete and audience benefit from the norms of competition. Sportswashing, what MBS/PIF were attempting to do with LIV by paying athletes for their celebrity to confer legitimacy on their murderous regime, reverses this process because it is only ostensibly about the competition, it is primarily about the obfuscation of the horrors of the regime. Both the athlete and the audience are robbed of the transformative influence of sport and what they are participating in and watching is merely a facade, a base amusement. So it is no surprise that almost nobody watched. Good riddance to the Saudi backed LIV.
