Liv Golf Central Thread: Events and News


Thin2win
Message added by GolfSpy_APH,

We haven't had to say this in a while, but as a reminder to all that we are keeping this thread to the golf/signings and related content.

We are not going to get into the politics of it all and where the money is coming from etc.

If you wish to comment on that aspect of it all please feel free to do so on other platforms. Not here.

While much of LIV has become more accepted over the years there are still those who feel strongly against it and the backing. We respect all those who are both for and against LIV, however will not tolerate going into the weeds of all the "other stuff"

If you are not sure whether you should post something either ask a mod or don't post it. 

As we have before we will continue to moderate, remove or edit posts that go against our moral code and members will receive alerts or warnings to follow.

Thank you

I haven't been following this too closely lately... but FYI the NFL gave up its tax exempt status in 2015(mainly because of scrutiny and the absurdity of it having "non-profit" status, and to avoid congressional intervention), and now pay taxes.  And all along the individual teams paid taxes on their revenue.

I get it that you may not be familiar with financial statements. You have to look at the balance sheet and the related schedules. The PGA Tour has $1.2 billion in stated pension liabilities. And that is just pension.

You can't compare the PGA Tour to a non-profit hospital. It is a professional sports league. Do you think that the executives at all pro sports leagues should not be paid competitive salaries? The NFL Commissioner makes over $30 million a year. NBA- $10 million. MLB- $17 million.

  nfl/nba/mlb the Revenue for each  is approx  $10 billion each or around $30 billion total , their comm's make  $57 million or approx point 2 percent ( .2 % ) of the total Revenue , the pga total Revenue is approx $1.5  billion , keeping  the same percentage .2% of $1.5 billion  is  3 million dollars , that is what jm should make to be on par with the other comm's , he makes at least 2x that .

Interesting points which raise many questions about the PGA Tours business model... irrespective of LIV's existence.  Many seem to dismiss the fact that both Tiger and Phil were very vocal, many times and years ahead of LIV, that the tours "profit sharing" (call it what you will), was disproportionate and outdated with other professional sports.

The irony in all this is that Monahan & Co. could have made LIV's successful start DOA had they chosen to make changes the players requested.

But I’m those other sports the athletes are employees of the teams. The pga tour players aren’t and are paid for their performance only when they play and make the cut. They are essentially independent contractors. Contractors dont get the same benefits as employees of a company

None of that has anything to do with LIV.

Well, it has 100% to do why LIV exists and why PGA leadership wasn't paying a fair amount to players. The players bring in the revenue but have been told the money didn't exist to increase purses or take care of caddies. That has been documented for years. The PGA's lack of support of players is 100% why LIV exists and why more players will leave.

Yet the PGA is now saying the players, even though they have been called contractors in the past, are now all the sudden employees who have to abide by contracts that some of them have never seen. Now with the pay to play model (thanks to LIV) that they are going to, that point may be hard to argue. The tour can't have it both ways. That was their caddie argument that they were contractors of the player and the player was just a contractor so the tour was limited in what it could do. We now see that not only have certain players been getting paid under the table to show up, their caddies have been a little more taken care of.

I think you are misinterpreting that non profit means money goes to charity.   I am not a tax person but know that businesses set up as non profit can make money, but are limited in the ways they can spend that money.   Schools; specifically Colleges in the example I am providing , are typically  non profit.  I would think the money they get from appearing in bowl games and on TV broadcasts is a form of TV revenue sharing.   

I fully know how non profits work. I work for a C6. Very different from  C3 which is a charity, but the PGA tour functions in no  way like a normal 501C6 other than on their IRS forms. If I were to build a new $65,000,0000 office as a "non profit" you could bet our status would be questioned heavily. A C6 pays property and sales taxes but is exempt from certain federal taxes on "income." This is 100% why professional sports teams want that status. The NFL bowed out of their inclusion (they were the original reason sports teams could file under a C6) and in reality,  based on sports revenue, no sports should have any C tax designations. Other taxes are a drop in the bucket to that line item. Also, unless it is designated grant funding or "designated" funds, there are no requirements on how or what money is spent on for a C6. I can paint the walls, buy a car, replace lighting, buy property, put on an event or pay staff bonuses. I do this and my yearly audit all says that is fine. Monahan has hid under that idea for years, but players eventually found out that wasn't fully true.

LIV exists to sportswash the Saudi regime. That’s what LIV exists for. They have a lot of money to spend on this adventure.

Greg Norman is tasked with bringing people in and used the large amount of money to draw players and he lied to the players about what they would be able to do and that the pga couldn’t enforce the member agreement they all were responsible for creating and agreeing to.

The pga isn’t saying they are employees. They are saying you they agreed to terms to be allowed to be a member of the pga tour and that inn violation of it they are being suspended per the agreement. It’s not different that any company giving rules and policies the contractors they hire need to abide by. I spent almost 20 years as a contractor in the government and private sector and there are agreements, policies and regulations we have to sign and agree to as condition of our contract

So lets talk about the "release rule." This is straight from 2 players on tour now. Certain players have always been released to play opposite field events all over the world. Even....Saudi Arabia...pocketing millions to show up at these events. They never asked the tour for a release, they just didn't "sign up" for the opposite PGA event. When the LIV players asked for the opposite field release the appropriate way, they were denied. They said this rule has never been enforced until LIV and that it had never even been a topic of discussion except as a loophole the tour may be able to use. Hard to believe if you are calling someone an independent contractor and providing a W9, but forcing them to appear and act as a full time employee of the tour and the tour being allowed to restrict your other employment, that it isn't anti trust. I'm sure if it all ends up not being settled, it will all come out in the anti trust suit. It is hard to say you have a rule but then selectively enforce it. That's why I'm 100% sure the PGA will never let it get public as I'm betting just their calls and emails to courses, sponsors and events would quickly show that they were trying to prevent competition. Think about Augusta National being dragged to court to discuss the calls with the PGA about banning players. It will 100% never make it that far.

 

Honestly on this point, no hard feelings discussing all this. It is fun to discuss and in the end, who even knows what happens, but it is sad to see the best players not on the same courses all year. I think the majors will greatly impact how everything goes forward. Could you imagine what happens if LIV guys play majors and one wins this year. Heck, Cam could win multiple. Monahan's head would explode. In the end, I see both Monahan and Norman gone and a peace treaty of some sort. Neither are good for the game in my opinion.

Those events aren’t from an organization that is competing against the business of the PGA tour. Those events are part of other professional tours that the PGA tour has work of relationships with. The LIV tour is a direct competitor of the PGA tour and the players wanted to have the ability to come and go between the PGA tour and LIV. With the money thur we’re being offered it would be easy for them to choose the higher paying events on LIV than the PGA tour this impacting the tv viewership and in person tickets for pga events. The PGaa tour is protecting their business model no different than any other business in any industry does.

It’s hard to believe for people that don’t understand what the liv tour is, what Greg Norman is trying to do and what happens in the real world of business and competition. Nor is it hard for those who aren’t always feeling like people are being taken advantage of for the benefit of a company/brand.

Just because you are an independent contractor doesn't mean you have a right to contract with one employer and work at that employer's competitor at the same time.

You can't only look at revenue. What are the margins? There are a lot more NFL players, and MLB players, and NBA players than PGA Tour players. The NFL and NBA and MLB teams have lots more employees and infrastructure.

Because your original employer forgot to put that in your "contract" means it is hard to enforce after the fact. The PGA only mandated you play so many events per year and certain events every few years, not where you can't play. The forgot it because they have never had real competition.

He did not say he was paid by the PGA Tour to play in events.

Unlike the DP World Tour—where tournaments have dished out seven-figure sums to stars to play in their events—the practice of appearance fees is prohibited by the PGA Tour. However, many events find workarounds to this rule in the form of off-the-course endorsement contracts.

For example, Zurich sponsors a number of professional golfers, and most of those players will play in the Zurich Classic. Tournaments can also pay players for speaking engagements for week-of events during tournament weeks.

In a statement to ESPN, the PGA Tour reiterated its stance against appearance fees while acknowledging these other avenues for payment.

"We are aware that certain tournament sponsors may contract with a player to perform a sponsor-related activity during tournament week for which they receive nominal compensation," the PGA Tour statement said. "This is permissible under our guidelines."

Exactly. As a contractor and even in my current full time position any work that is outside of my current job if there is a potential conflict I have to file a request and have it approved. If it’s a conflict of interest it will be denied.

They actually stated where you can’t play and how to go about it in the member agreement that the players agreed to, they knew the rules and found out what happens when they violate them. I’m not shocked that you can’t accept this fact that there was an agreement in place for opposite field events.

Their "member agreement" is a document that is never signed. It is handed out in a packet. Other PGA members have been allowed to play as they please in competing events and competing tours without question. It only became a problem once LIV was established. The court preceding will be fun for sure as some of the big named players who have been free to play where they please will be called up. Again, that is why it will never get that far. Do you think the tour's last few gasps at good golfers are going to tell the truth in front of a judge or even be subjected to attend court? At this point, the only thing the PGA could hang their hat on is that "Saudi Arabia is bad" but they sure were taking sponsorship dollars along with the LPGA from them so even that is a stretch. Sits about as well as Lebron calling out everyone while wearing made in China by  a 9 year old shoes.

Exactly, the PGA tells X tournament that the top 5 won't show up unless they get $1,000,000 each to eat a dinner and the PGA can't pay them, but you, as a sponsor can, and if you do, we will reduce the level you would need to pay to keep the tournament. Would be interesting to see how many of these tournaments that paid extra to get top players are now the top tier tournaments while some of the tournaments die a slow death. Trust me, Tiger, Rory and Spieth aren't traveling to the far corners of the US for their health. They do it for the money and now that more than the top 10 are getting PAID, it doesn't sit well it looks like. It is allowing the cream of the 2nd tier PGA players to rise though. I like and follow them, but I always wonder would they win if the other guys were playing this week. If the majors try to ban the LIV guys, maybe Rory can hurry up and win another one. He is getting old fast and just repeats anything Monahan says.

You have it backwards. Phil and Norman hated that the 2nd tier players on Tour were making money that they thought should be going to them. Having larger purse, limited field events hurts the 2nd tier players. The Tour prior to these changes was more supportive of the bottom 100 Tour players. Unfortunately, LIV has forced their hand to focus on just the top players more.

Rory McIlroy says LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman must quit!

Tiger Woods says Norman must go!

John Rahm says PGA golfers should be thankful LIV happened!

Never said in the US. They have been allowed in Europe, SAUDIA ARABIA, China and Japan without a release at opposite field PGA events and many still hold dual membership on DP tour which the PGA has basically bullied and taken over. Certain PGA players are bigger than the tour and they know it and use it at every opportunity to get what they want. That is a big reason that so many players have left. If the top 10 get every benefit and payout coming and going, it doesn't leave much for the bottom. Read that IRS filing. Look at the policy board salaries. Davis Love hasn't played relevant golf in 10 years and they were paying him 800k per year! Paying players that much to sit in on a few meetings seems like a few extra million for backing the cause.

This is curious, why did the PGA then only up the new PIP money for the top players? Why doesn't #150s opinion matter to Monahan as much as Rory's? LIV has now half of the last 5 years worth of major winners with more likely to come. I'm not sure who can't see this is an internal PGA issue or these players would have never left.
