IMHO it is a threat to business as usual for the PGA Tour. The fact that
they want to ban players who play on LIV is incredible, seeing they welcome players from all over the world that play on other tours. It will cause the PGA some marketing problems when they can't field the strongest players at their events. I used to go to the Kemper years ago only on thursdays and fridays since all the golfers would be there before the cut. Loved to watch John Daly, and he would be a 50/50 chance to make it to Saturday. The few other top golfers that would come as well but could be cut after Friday. LIV won't cut their field after 36 holes like the PGA does. I think the competition and the unknowns scare the PGA tour people.

Because PGA is a stodgy group that wants to maintain their monopoly.

“Reporter” is a stretch. He was more of a political advocate and then some.
