I dunno... I looked at the LIV tour list and the highest ranked player is DJ, followed by Dechambeau, Na and Reed plus a bunch of has beens from the European Tour. I don't think the PGA Tour has much to worry about.
Reed brought it on himself. He alienated a lot of people when he was so self-aggrandizing after his third tour win claiming that he was top-five in the world and comparing himself to Tiger and legends of the game... he peaked at #6 in the world rankings.
And while I like Bryson, he has always been a different duck and hasn't done much lately after getting totally embarassed in The Match against Brooks Koepka where Bryson played very poorly.
Koepka hasn't been repeatedly accused of cheating in college and the pro tour, Reed has - well publicized. If you don't like Koepka fine, but he and Reed aren't comparable.Yet take Brooks Koepka he talks and struts very much like Reed and doesn't get the massive blowback.

The NBA and Disney have been taking China money for decades. Hollywood too.

This is a sports thread. It’d be a good idea to take the politics somewhere else.
I played 18 holes with a close friend today at the Carlton Woods (Fazio) course in The Woodlands, Tx. Hot....mid 90's and humid. This is Patrick Reed's home course here. Two old men in their late 70's who both shot in in the mid 80's, but we played from the middle tees (5,600 yards). No more back tees for us old guys.
Damn it was hot, and we had wet towels on our necks the second nine.
They are people who are making a lot more money than they used to be making.
that's a tough course - I played it with the late Dale Gifford (of Hewitt) bitd
some nice courses in that area - my fav is the old TPC course
S.VNT Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe I presume. No matter what the whiners say, these golfers can still beat the pants off 99% of the worlds population.
yes I knew who it was , just saying the leader board screens etc sux..... have their last name for top 5 -10 whatever and when someone is one screen in 25th place show him at +5. like how NBC etc are showing the scoring now. but A.BCD Who the F is that?
Not to get political but it’s well known it’s a Saudi government exercise in “sportswashing” using several sports.Wonder what LIV's plan is to generate revenue, they obviously have a lot of cash on hand to get started. At some point they will need a big TV contract and corporate sponsorship to pay for all of the money they are handing out. Don't see corporate sponsors running to sign up, in fact many of the players that jumped to LIV lost their endorsement deals. Almost seems like making money is not LIV's objective.
“Saudi Arabia is trying to use the good reputation of the world’s best loved sports stars to obscure a human rights record of brutality, torture and murder,” said Grant Liberty’s Lucy Rae, who accused Saudi Arabia of “committing human rights abuses on an industrial scale”.
“The world’s leading sports stars might not have asked to be part of a cynical marketing plan to distract the world from the brutality – but that’s what is happening,” she added.
