Hard to see how any ramifications will come from that unless they permanently ban them for life. Otherwise, theyll just make their money there and then if that collapses for any reason, theyll be back after the suspension.

Making a fuckton of money in some Saudi prince's league, then the PGA realizing a fuckton of players did that and the league is screwed without them, seems an acceptable gamble.

People got paid 100+ million to join rival league. The previous league they were a part of called the PGA Tour responds by suspending them.

Basically...

The LIV Golf League is a new league/tour that's trying to be an alternate to the PGA.

The main hang-up people have with it is that it's monetarily backed almost exclusively by the Saudi government. They are throwing out crazy amounts of guaranteed money to have golfers jump ship and join their league, and detractors are screaming "blood money" at them.

Not to bring politics into it, but one of the more humorous parts of it is many or the MAGA conservatives out there want to label these golfers as traitors to the USA, until they found out that, among other places, two of the golf courses the tour plans on using for their tournaments are Trump-owned golf courses.

ah yes, a bunch of people who don't follow PGA/golf get to chime in on it, "because duh, saudi bro".

the popcorn is bland and white, just like the golfers.

The way i see it. These guys have already accomplished everything in pga. Might as well win some accolades in a new league. Get paid stupid money and ride off into the sunset.

maybe im understanding this wrong, but the 17 players that have been suspended are still eligible to play in the majors and its up to the event to suspend them from participating in them than the pga to suspend them from playing in those tournaments

The USGA announced Tuesday that LIV golfers can still compete in next week's U.S. Open. The PGA TOUR does not run the majors.

will be interesting to see if those players who chose to play in liv will participate in the u.s. open next week or wont because of the statement released by the pga
