MGoBlue100 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 What’s different, pray tell? Norman originally had the idea for what are now the WGC’s. Mickelson wants more money for the top players. PIP program and now a fall fling money grab to keep the boys in the fold and not playing LIV Golf events. GaDawg 1 Quote "Where'd it go?"

In my mind what is different is essentially appearance fees/guaranteed money to play in events.

MGoBlue100 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Seems this is pretty similar, without the Tour having to use that "Appearance Fee" phrase they don't like. However, not that they haven't looked the other way for decades as players were paid for "promotional appearances" that happened to coincide with tournaments that needed the field boosted. The hypocrisy and sabre rattling on all sides is a bit much, really. GaDawg 1 Quote "Where'd it go?" "Right in the Lumberyard..."

Where you were incorrect is the reason Mickelson was "excommunicated." russtopherb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaDawg Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's going to be interesting when the names playing in the LIV Golf events finally comes out. Hopefully things get shaken up a little. Maybe I have missed it, but is the Golf Channel going to televise any of the LIV tournaments or fall in line with the tour?

RickyBobby_PR Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So basically going back to how things were before the FedEx cup where the fall is the “silly season” again and the actual top players can play if they want but won’t get penalized for not showing up in FedEx cup points or probably choosing venues they haven’t played before in order to keep their playing schedule to under 25 events. I love how the article calls the players requesting permission to play in Saudi Arabia top players. They are top names, most well past their prime and the rest who had little success on the pga tour and some decent success on the Euro tour Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
