[It Takes Eleven]

Didn't see that coming...all about the money. I would've thought an SEC/Big 10 merger was more likely.

Does Phil get to keep his 1/2 billion dollars? Those guys that took those large contracts look like geniuses now... I bet there are others that wish they took the money too.

Bahahaha, love it. PGA caved like a house of cards. I love it after all the crap they talked and how arrogant they were. That's not even mentioning all of those forum warriors screaming "blood money" and that the PGA is the white dove of the golf world. I still think LIV vs PGA would have been Ryder Cup 2.0 and a ton of fun with a lot of money to be made. Will be interesting to see how this works out.

The PGA is the majority stake owner, dictates the rules and regulations, and the LIV guys have to go grovel to the PGA to play on tour after this year.

I guess Monahan wanted some oil money, too.

He’s going to have a mutiny on his hands.

He’s going to have a mutiny on his hands.

yes he is. Especially with the fact he didn't voice anything to the players. Not that he necessarily has to, but it's a good bet to bring them in on it when you asked them to go to battle for you against the company you merged with.

NBA/ABA, NHL/WHA, NFL/AFL...

You could also add the multitude of acquisitions in the business world to eliminate competitive threats.

I feel terrible for Rory

You left out Sonny/Cher.

He’ll have more opportunities to ignore very ignorable people.

Monahan called 'hypocrite' by golfers in meeting

Jay Monahan had what he described as a heated discussion with PGA Tour golfers over an agreement to unify with the DP World Tour and the LIV Golf League.

Compare and contrast Monahan and Adam Silver.

I don't like either.

I don't care for either as well. We'll learn a lot more about Silver and how he handles Ja Morant this next time after maneuveringaround to keep one of his Top 5 stars employed. With it being in such close proximity to last time and how he stuck his neck on the line to say how remorseful Ja was the first time, we'll see if he has any teeth or backbone.
