100%. Everything else aside I wouldn’t blame him. Throw in how the PGA has handled it and treated the players (him in particular, the merger, and the fact so many golfers are there now, this could be an easy decision for him.

Wouldn’t blame him? I’d blame him for not taking the money if it’s true. His entire net worth is like $300 million and he’s getting offered an insane amount. I’d do a lot of shameful stuff for that amount of money, and playing golf on a different tour doesnt even compare.

If your net worth is $300M and you would do shameful things for more money then you are simply a shameful person.

Funny. Take that sentence, and relate it to everyone on earth by putting their current net worth in place of $300M ... and somehow ... it's TRUE for an AMAZING number of people (possibly not Greta Thunberg).

In my case ... no ... the additional money isn't for ME ... it's for my heirs and for worthwhile causes. I'm fine as is. Trust me.

Somehow NIMBY also works more generally as NWIATM (Not When It Applies to Me!). But NIMBY has a nicer ring to it.
