Big CatJay Monahan is the biggest scumbag in the world
Jay Monahan, the biggest scumbag in the world, the biggest scumbag in the world. He invoked 9/11 if they were to accept a hundred million dollars to go play golf on the LIV tour. So he said that to his players with a straight face. He brought in 9/11 families to act as a human shield for what he was doing behind the scenes, which was negotiating with the LIV tour.
PFT CommenterLIV Golf comes out of the merger looking like the Michael Scott Paper Company
The LIV tour, by the way, they come out of this smelling like roses. They're the Michael Scott Paper Company comparably to the PGA tour. They started their own tour. Everybody laughed at 'em. Their ratings were bad. But at some point along the way, the PGA tour needed the LIV tour just as much as the LIV guys needed the PGA tour.
Big CatTeam golf doesn't work long-term

The biggest losers in this, Jay Monahan number one, probably Rory McIlroy number two. Not because Rory's a bad guy, just because he was the most vocal. And Brandel Chamblee, because he really dug his feet in on the take. It's one of the saddest days in the history of professional golf.

Dan RapaportCharlie Woods will eventually play as a professional golfer
I'll say yes. I think he will. He will be a pro. You know, being a pro in golf is not that difficult... But the spirit of the question obviously being Will he? Yeah, I think he'll make a run. I mean, all signs point to him being definitely like a division one level player and he'll get a chance.
