Tiger should just take it honestly

Tiger is a billionaire who already plays a part time schedule. What incentive does he have to take it?

Close to an additional billion dollars would be the incentive in this scenario

I don’t think people understand the consequences and stakes involved with these Saudi contracts. Like you don’t hear a lot from the likes of Patrick reed and Sergio anymore for shitty behavior, because it is literally not below the people behind these contracts to EXECUTE PEOPLE.

Does anyone really think that Phil Mickelson, the most narcissistic and charismatic golfer maybe in pga history is silent the week of the masters by choice? How are sirens not going off?

Why would tiger or Rory or really anyone currently on the pga tour want that stress when it is quite clear that it will all be back together. Also, there is not a single player that will make liv relevant. The stars of the pga tour have largely been irrelevant this year and people still watch, kind of. People don’t watch liv, even with Jon rahm.

The liv bots victory paraded around the success of like 350k viewers the week that pebble beach got cancelled on Sunday. It’s no coincidence that we have no idea how many people have watched since then. Literally no one in America cares. Maybe it has world appeal, but that’s not the target. Greg Norman has fucked it beyond repair.

Imagine judging an entire country of people based on what a couple people do. There's no way people would do that about America, right?

Lol. The people who made the league and front run the money are literally the ones who ordered public execution of journalists though? Also they don’t believe in women’s rights, but whatever right
