Thoughts and prayers for the players who only kept full PGA Tour cards without guaranteed access to the signature events. And now the signature events will have $20 million purses (same as LIV) with $4 million to the winner (same as LIV). “How many golf fans actually know what the PIP on the PGA Tour is?” he wrote on Instagram, posting the results for all to see. “There’s 150-200 members of the PGA Tour and they just spent $100 million on 20 players. Lashley wasn’t criticizing the PGA Tour on behalf of everyone, but he’s not a lone voice.

☆ The global golf megamerger looks even more confounding after a 3-hour grilling in front of Congress
  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Cork Gaines | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Big questions remain, especially as to why the PGA Tour took the Saudi money without looking elsewhere. The PGA Tour's deal with LIV Golf and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is just an agreement to seek an agreement. This all started when LIV Golf, with golf legend Greg Norman at the lead, started offering PGA Tour players vast sums of money to jump to the new Saudi-backed golf league. The PGA Tour, a non-profit, just did not have the resources to compete with the deep pockets of the Saudis. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has yet to testify before Congress.

☆ PGA Tour sues LIV Golf's Saudi backers to force evidence discovery

The PGA Tour has filed a lawsuit against LIV Golf backers, the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, an entity controlled by the Saudi crown prince, in an effort to force evidence discovery in ongoing legal battles. LIV Golf sued the tour alleging anti-competitive practices for banning its players, and the tour recently countersued LIV Golf, claiming the upstart league was itself stifling competition. "LIV Golf is just beginning its process and is in active discussions with several companies about broadcasting the LIV Golf League. Meanwhile, the PGA tour has taken to Washington D.C. to lobby against LIV Golf, and LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, a former PGA Tour star, made his own visit to Capitol Hill in mid-September to "educate members on LIV's business model and counter the Tour's anti-competitive efforts." The LIV Golf championship will take place starting Oct. 28 at the Trump National Doral in Miami.
