It's not an either/or or a competition you know? This is getting scrutiny

now because the LIV just started and the PGA responded by banning players playing in it. If China started a basketball league and was poaching NBA players and the NBA banned those players I'm sure you would see just as much if not more "scrutiny". Not everything is some big media conspiracy no matter how much "whataboutism" you apply.

He needs the money. He's a super golfer and alleged $40M+ gambling loser

The golf course looks brutal. Phil won't make the cut.**

I agree. Finished 33rd in a field of 48 on an easy London course last week.

I hope those mercenaries never win a Major (or any other PGA/USGA event)
