fixyurdivot Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Kevin makes it official. Kevin Na resigns from PGA Tour, will participate in LIV Golf series (espn.com) A few of us have been chatting about this on the FTx League. A bit surprising that he's opt to take this "nuclear" approach as opposed to just playing the LIV events and see how this all shakes out... ultimately in court where this is undoubtedly heading. Some believe it's his way of telling Lord Monahan to get bent. ### Please refrain from taking this thread down the political bunny hole ### xOldBenKenobiX, Rickp, BIG STU and 3 others 6 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ever get the details on some of these LIV contracts, incentives, it may easily explain player decisions. Kevin is a good example of a mid tier PGA tour journeyman where the sure money just makes more sense at this point. It will be interesting to see if this starts a trend.

Popular Post Golf2Much Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Let me offer a little different twist on this. By Na resigning before the LIV event the PGA Tour shouldn't have any grounds to take action against him for playing because he's not an official member. So, if the LIV fails or Na becomes disenchanted with league (or the politics associated with it), since he wasn't officially sanctioned it theoretically should be easier for him to seek reinstatement to the Tour.

DiscipleofPenick Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Na seemed like a pretty stand-up guy, but I feel like he falls into that group with the Euro guys joining. He's still good but getting older, probably won't win on the PGA and just wants the payday. I think it's justifiable in his position. I think the money issue is a lot less of it wasn't the Saudis though.

DaveP043 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 To me, Na is doing this the right way. He's acknowledging that he's signed a contract with the PGA Tour, and that the Tour has a contractual right to discipline him if he plays conflicting events without Tour clearance. So rather than break the terms of his contract and then fight the discipline, he's terminating his contract. Of course he's doing this with legal advice, and he's doing what the believes is best for himself, but he's not picking a fight with the Tour. To me the source of the LIV Tour's money is a separate issue Nolan220, BIG STU, GolfSpy_SHARK and 6 others 9 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if Na's attorney reviewed the contract, and told Na that he WAS bound by the terms, that there was little or no basis for contesting the terms, and that he was likely to lose in court if he tried to contest the contract terms. Sure, the attorney would make a boatloads more money by taking the issue to trial, but that route might not be the best way for NA to proceed.

Are there any players joining the LIV tour that can be considered fan favorites? I guess it depends on what you call a fan favorites. Most “fan favorites” are the players in their prime and playing well; basically the big names in golf that a casual or non golfer might know. Players like Westwood, McDowell, and Oosthuizen are beyond their peak but still garner attention when playing well. There are a couple of up and comers like Gooch and Swafford but they won’t put people in the seats of any event but we’re starting to establish themselves. Most of the people on this board are US based so we don’t necessarily know all the names on the DP Tour that you might know better being in Europe.

So, if the LIV fails or Na becomes disenchanted with league (or the politics associated with it), since he wasn't officially sanctioned it theoretically should be easier for him to seek reinstatement to the Tour. Now I am going to throw another Monkey Wrench into this scenerio---- With him resigning and no longer being a member if he wanted to come back then would he not have to go back to the Korn Ferry or requalify in some prescribed manner as if he had never been a member??

He probably figures that would be easier than trying to get back in after whatever discipline/punishment would come his way had he not resigned.
