vandyland Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Pretty interesting it is going to be a for-profit entity (the new venture is an investable vehicle,the PGA Tour is retaining 501(c)3 status though unclear how and where the money will go). I am curious how PGA Tour players that could have left for big guaranteed money will react to someone like DJ coming back after getting $150MM guaranteed for basically 1.5 years off the tour. I wonder if the tour really just wanted the sweet CW exposure LIV was getting? Haha. If I put on my tin foil hat, it may be the tour trying to avoid certain information coming out during the litigation that was set to kick off soon.

PeterHenric Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 So my assumption is that this will be a different league that is obviously separate from the PGA TOUR and their nonprofit status. I would bet that the PGA and Liv did not want their dirty laundry aired in these lawsuits so it benefited both of them to settle this and move forward SirPrised, Woody83, bumpandrun and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: Callaway Paradym @ 10.5º (Fujikura Ventus Red Velocore TR Stiff) 4 Wood: Titleist TSr 2 @ 14.5º Driving Iron: Ping iCrossover 17º (Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX 80 Stiff) Irons: Taylormade Stealth 4-P (Fujikura Ventus Blue Graphite 7 Stiff) Wedges: Cleveland RTX 6 Zipcore 48º, 52º, 56º (TT Dynamic Gold Tour Issue) Putter: Odyssey AI One Jailbird Mini Ball: Titleist ProV1X, MaxFli Tour X 2023, MaxFli Tour 2023, Titleist AVX Tested: Tommy Armour Impact No. 3 (LINK) Tested: Titleist Prototype Balls (LINK) Tested: Stitch Golf SL2 Golf Bag (LINK) Unofficially Tested: Odyssey One Black (LINK) Shot Tracking App: Golf Pad GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmyoungiv Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I am leaning toward the take that this was pushed through because of the court case where the judge denied the PGA tours motion to deny discovery and they were worried about having to open up their books and lose their 501c3 status like every other league. fixyurdivot, GolfSpy_SHARK, CB Lobo 4 Life and 6 others 7 1 1 Quote Dr. Walter Young IV, PT, DPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
