How can you possibly still watch the PGA, as long as owned by LIV? I wanna know.

[Eliot Rosewater]

I have a close friend who is also my guitar player (we have a little band, I am the drummer and vocalist) who is a liberal Democrat and yet I KNOW he is gonna watch, so I dont even wanna know about it or talk about it with him. GRRRRRR.

1. USGA runs the U.S. Open

and they are not connected to the PGA tour or Liv. They run all the amateur championships. The same goes with the Open in Britain. The PGA players took it on the chin. Here is the link to the USGA website. It is also the place where amateurs keep their handicap.

4. I know. I am a former golfer. The PGA tour is all the tournaments other than the US Open, though,

right?

Has USGA made a statement about it?

6. I think The Masters is it's own entity also.

8. I think The Masters is it's own entity also.

7. PGA is a golf tour and the USGA is the governing body that oversees the PGA tour, ensuring that

proper rules are in place to protect the integrity of the sport.so the distinction is IMO a moot point The tour has been bought by Mr. Bonesaw..

12. It truly is disgusting

What Phil did was to sell out the sport for his own financial gain. He and his fellow liv players launched a lawsuit saying the PGA is a monopoly.
What they have now is a way worse monopoly with the addition of the DP tour part of the Bonesaw enterprise.
The new boss is the same the old boss but worse.

13. I forgot the U.S. Open start today, your post makes more sense to me now

My bad I should’ve differentiated

2. Never had the slightest interest in golf, so I'm not a good example. But...

if a league I like, say the NBA, did a similar deal, I’d go go cold turkey immediately.

[we can do it]

3. It's like fb - doesn't matter if it supports terrorists if it's something the user likes.

5. Golf fans are probably more interested in the actual sport than the politics of it.

Most of them probably do not follow the politics as we do.

I, personally, could not conceive of me ever playing or watching golf.

I know a number of people who enjoy playing, and some of them watch it on TV.

10. I won't attend another tournament or watch on TV.

9. If you don't care about any of that and just like golf, it's easy.

Not everyone lives and dies with the political implications of things.

11. Would it be OK if we watched it...

over Twitter or Facebook???

14. Most people probably aren't aware and just want to watch a good golf game.

Only those interested in politics pay attention to these things.

I have a friend in Pennsylvania who visited me last week. I asked her about fetterman and she literally had no idea who I was talking about. I was shocked but realize she’s probably more in the majority than we think. She only votes in presidential years. Go figure.

15. I am not talking about people that don't know what's going on

I am talking about people like myself who post here or my friends in real life who are liberal and democratic who will still watch the PGA.

Which is why I brought it up here, unfortunately you are correct more than half of this country or almost half don’t even bother to vote let alone care what’s actually going on.

16. How could you watch it before?

The only thing more boring than playing golf is watching other people play it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. True. I was guilty of watching it for a while with Tiger Woods playing

I’ve always liked George Carlin’s take on golf courses that I assume you know

[Zeitghost]

18. They watch the PGA

Just like the use Amazon, Google, Visa, Microsoft, Disney, Nintendo, Uber, PayPal, Zoom and countless other companies the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund has major investments in.
