Holy crap! The reigning Masters Champ just bolted for LIV? But who can blame him, $500 MILLION BUCKS?? That is the definition of an offer you can't refuse.

Agreed. What's interesting (well, not really that interesting) is that Rahm was hand-in-hand with bleeding heart Rory McElroy denouncing the LIV tour and standing up for the PGA.

But.. when a sh_t ton of money gets thrown at him by the organization he supposedly opposes, he bolts and signs with them.

I don't blame him AT ALL, but just STFU with the virtue signaling that he did.

Didn't the PGA and LIV merge?

I don't follow the pros much, even as much as I love golf. Did that deal fall thru?

I guess god blessed Saudi Arabia and OPEC with so much oil so that they can buy up the world. What a blessed nation.

On many golf FB groups. Rahm is being wildly criticized for this move.

I really don't get it. Why shouldn't everyone be free to take the best deal they can get? There is nothing unethical about it. I did it several times in my career.

The Saudis trying to buy goodwill.

The Saudis trying to buy goodwill.

Saudis are buying their way into all kinds of stuff lately.

If they so peacefully merged, this wouldn't have happened.

Obviously we don't know everything.

Sad situation

My understanding is that the merger is a work in progress and Rahm's contract has kind of thrown the process into a bit of a tizzy.

Trying to watch a LIV broadcast is horrible. Looks like a bunch of junior high kids were hired to broadcast them.

They're on a weird channel, I think. I saw where Bryson shot a 58 the other day. The courses probably aren't as tricked up as the PGA.

I watch the majors and cups and that's about it.

I don't like watching the TV broadcasts but I went to a LIV tournament and it was a blast!

300 million will do that.

I think it was more like a hostile takeover. But the posturing was funny to watch.

That's true but I just don't like the idea that Saudi Arabia, or whoever they are, can hook up with a scumbag Clinton asskisser, Greg Norman, and buy the PGA. Then again, I don't like NIL in the NCAA either. Maybe I'm just an old **** and a traditionalist. MAGA

Sad situation

There is nothing sad about it. Rahm accepted a deal that he couldn't refuse.

The LIV is good for golf.
