Golf World Shake Up - Trumps Revenge?

a reply to: carewemust
Interesting turn of events.
Especially from those who seemed so opposed.

Only just seen this thread.
The PGA have refused the British Open to be held at Turnberry while DJT owns it.
DJT is also building his second course in Aberdeenshire. He was there just the other week, 'breaking ground'.

Saudi now runs the world of Professional Golf

Here is a good article about how and why all this happened.

What Now Becomes of LIV Golf? Ask Yasir Al-Rumayyan

The new chairman of the board controls the money so he controls the future—not just of LIV but the entire sport

The man at the top is not Monahan. Or Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods. Or the the lords of the Seminole grill room, Jimmy Dunne and Ed Herlihy, who brokered the truce with LIV through their roles as PGA Tour board members.

No, Norman was referring to the new boss of all of them, His Excellency Yasir Al-Rumayyan. H.E., as he is referred to around LIV, is the governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which can alter economies and disrupt industries with its $650 billion war chest. He is also the chairman of the board of Aramco, the state oil company, making H.E. easily the most powerful person in the world who is not a head of state. His newest title is chairman of the board of the new PIF-Tour entity

Interesting group on the call.

Then Al-Rumayyan organized a group call. To that point in the process, he had been a low-key, reserved presence when dealing with his LIV subordinates. About 30 people were on the call, including a handful of Public Investment Fund employees and LIV consultants Andrew McKenna and Ari Fleischer, who had served as George W. Bush’s press secretary.

I’m not sure if anything like this has happened in sport history?

I’m not worried to much this just seems to effect the tour players. Us regular golfers still get to go out and loose golf balls and throw clubs on the weekends. We just get more golf to watch. 😂

If you have some time to kill. Watch a breakdown of the Senate Hearing on the PGA Toru and LIV merger.
The guy does a great job calling out all the BS.

The deal that’s not a deal but it’s a “WIN WIN” what a bunch a weird people.

I have no confidence in the leadership of the PGAT, or our government.

Golf will be better off with out the PGAT. They are just an unnecessary middle man. LIV is proof that Professional Golf can exist and thrive with out them.
