  I wonder what he would have done if he were struggling financially, like John Daly. Apparently, big John has been begging for some LIV crumbs from Greg Norman.

  I don’t know where you got the idea that Daly is struggling financially as he golfs regularly throughout the Orlando/Tampa area.  He’s been to the 2 clubs in Belleair, FL where we play and is a really generous guy.  I’m surprised LIV hasn’t offered him a deal though as he’s quite the character and still has a fan base.

  I suppose it's easier to take the "high road" in his case.

  True that. I've also seen some rich people getting excessively greedy, though. Frankly speaking, I thought Tiger would definitely sign up for LIV, given his aggressive disposition that we frequently witnessed from his playing style.

  Probably because Saudis think Daly is too "clownish" making the circus look even more like a circus.

  Hmm. Tiger is set for a dozen lifetimes. I suppose it's easier to take the "high road" in his case.

  Think about it deeper, He knows that w/o a PGA- He would have never became a golfer. Do you really think they would or would we want the Saudis sponsoring/teaching kids Golf?

  Lol, have you got a good look at those teaching our kids now? What they are “teaching”?

  Saudis teaching golf to kids is the wholesome alternative.

  Phil Mickelson and Ian Poulter are among 11 LIV Golf players who have filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour in order to challenge their suspensions.

  The PGA Tour has suspended all of its members who have signed up to the controversial Saudi-backed LIV series, which is in its inaugural season.

  The 2020 US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has also put his name to the anti-trust lawsuit.

  The group argue that the PGA Tour is trying to harm their careers..

  The PGA won't let me play on the tour, either.  I wonder if I should join the lawsuit?
