On this tour, we see multimillionaires with no apparent moral compass readily willing to shill for a government that will literally murder you and cut your body into pieces and dispose of you at an undisclosed location when you attempt to procure a marriage license.

Good stuff!



These folks belong in Congress.

6/8/2022 7:10:50 PM

Not to mention the government that literally did 9/11

6/8/2022 11:19:47 PM

Guy on Twitter keeps saying they just at least be honest when answering and just say "I don't give a shit about that stuff I'm here for the money" instead of the mealy mouthed defenses they try

6/9/2022 12:09:32 AM

My guess is they signed contracts explicitly stating they can't do that

6/9/2022 12:51:34 AM

Enjoying it so far.

Good job to the PGA suspending these turds.

6/9/2022 2:47:05 PM

But they can still compete for majors

6/9/2022 2:52:18 PM

Of course they can, the majors aren’t run by the PGA Tour

6/9/2022 2:54:28 PM

Yeah, I suspect I'm not the only one new to that information.

6/9/2022 3:01:27 PM

Why do they try to act like they are doing this for anything other than dirty money?

6/10/2022 6:56:15 AM

I don't think they have?

6/10/2022 8:16:05 AM

Ducking any and all questions about Saudi Arabia and saying what a great thing this is going to be for global golf. Would love to see someone just openly admit that they don't care about the source of the funds and they will gladly shill for anyone willing to pay them. Or, alternatively, to see someone back out and admit it was a moral mistake. Instead they just cowardly avoid the inextricably linked issue.

Aren't you ever rich enough? Phil Mickelson and his family couldn't live comfortably for generations on what he has already accumulated and could continue to accumulate on the PGA Tour and keep his legacy and reputation intact? Took a huge hit in my book. Golf is in a bad situation when I view Tiger Woods as one of the good guys.

6/10/2022 8:55:41 AM

I've heard phil is gambling addict #sources

6/10/2022 9:09:34 AM

Tiger Woods is a terrible person. DJ is a former drug addict. Phil is a serious degenerate gambler. I could go on about Reed or Sergio etc.

You should stop putting athletes on pedestals

6/10/2022 9:12:37 AM

How are they compared MBS?

Has tiger ever had a journalist murdered and dismembered? Trying to remember.

Oh, trust me, I don't. I just like judging public figures harshly.

6/10/2022 11:17:39 AM

^^never did nor tried to compare them to him

6/10/2022 1:29:13 PM

You appeared to imply that athletes being already shitty means we shouldn't care when they get in bed with a despot.

There's always levels of shitty and each person is free to line up which levels are red lines.

Maybe. There's no way to know for sure.

I like how the PGA is trying to act like they are doing this because of some moral high ground on human rights, considering they have a tour in China, as well as stops in other countries with poor records when it comes to human rights abuse. They feel threatened by this tour and want to try to keep their monopoly intact.

6/11/2022 4:33:03 PM

Well duh

6/11/2022 5:12:15 PM

I'm not here to defend the PGA, but holding a few events in countries with spotty records isn't exactly the same as letting a despotic regime bankroll a whole series to polish their international image.

I saw Patrick Reed joined, so they're extremely successful in attracting the asshole class of golfer.

6/11/2022 5:15:52 PM

China is using the PGA to “sportswash” their image too. There have multiple articles on it. I see them as one in the same. The PGA pretending to feign anger about this being about human rights abuses is laughable and hypocritical.

6/11/2022 6:28:19 PM

Is the PGA Tour financed by China?

6/11/2022 6:36:42 PM

rumor has it that Tiger Woods drives a car that runs on Saudi oil, and talks on a phone made in China!

6/11/2022 6:51:11 PM

I hurd it was Russian oil and a North Korean fone.

6/11/2022 7:07:33 PM

Suspended? Doug, kick them off the Tour!

6/11/2022 7:43:40 PM

You're about to get suspended for cross-posting!

6/11/2022 7:49:43 PM

well moron, good for happy gilMOOOHH MY GOD!

6/11/2022 8:33:10 PM

PGA jacket? LIV jacket? Who gives a shit?

6/11/2022 9:44:41 PM

Greg Norman could trouble me for a warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!

6/11/2022 10:15:02 PM

Phil Mickelson to the PGA tour: “The price is wrong, bitch”

6/11/2022 11:50:28 PM

Any YOU can count on ME, waiting for YOU in the parking lot!

6/12/2022 9:19:14 AM

I just want to say that I like how this thread has become a Happy Gilmore quote-fest.

6/12/2022 1:30:21 PM

Well, it's a joke Tour, isn't it?

They should at least hold a driving competition to see who can step right up and out-drive the Amazing Golf Ball. . . uh. . . Whacker Guy!

6/12/2022 1:36:48 PM

Phil with the 4 putt from 15 feet to turn a birdie chance into double. Gonna have to be careful, we know what the saudis do to folks that make them look bad.

are no other golfers calling out Jack Nicklaus for being a hypocriate?

6/21/2022 10:22:35 AM

^He claims not.

6/21/2022 8:42:27 PM

he also pours milk first for cereal. so how can you trust him.

6/22/2022 7:40:56 AM

I actually had the same thought. Not about trust, but that that seemed backwards.
