Ohhh - no I get that.
I thought you were possibly drawing the line between PGAT leadership and the PGA players (who were apparently left in the dark on this)

Presumably contracts under LIV must be honoured unless subsequently renegotiated and agreed by the respective players. Does this not potentially mean a situation where the players are playing the same tours but at hugely different rewards? Or do we think non-LIV players won’t play LIV events and vice versa for a certain period of time?
Rory is pure class
It may be annulled. I think those headline liv fees had a lot of conditions including performance requirements which were not truly ever discussed. Wouldn’t surprise me if it comes out the full payment structure was linked to appearances, wins, team performance etc. We already saw back tracking when it came to light that players never actually won money, it was just deducted from their “sign on fees”.
Thought it wasn't about the money Rory?
He’s not wrong though, it’s fine for him given his levels of success but there will be some golfers who aren’t as rich as you think who missed out on huge paydays only now to be shafted
This will be good to watch!
Exactly. Some people are so quick in these sort of discussions to try to catch someone being hypocritical, as a way to try to make it out as though they're all as bad as eachother. McIlroy has been pretty great during this whole thing - him saying that the players deserve a bit of a cut is not some sort of gotcha.
Especially when he specifically says it's not about him as he never got an offer to turn down.
He literally says "The guys that stayed loyal, that had offers on the table - I'm not one of them" in the first sentence of the interview. Those guys deserve compensation according to him.
Let’s say for talking sake, the PIF wanted to buy the PGA two years ago. I would imagine that the fee it would have cost them, is significant higher than the amount they spent on LIV. So they’ve wound up with their hands up the asses of the PGA for a lot less $.
Rory is playing really well today, Tyrell Hatton is on a tear right now though a hell of a round thus far -8 on the round through 16 incredible
It’s quite an interesting course. Insanely hard if you hit pin high but alot easier below the hole.
Agreed there are chances to make birdies, but also punishment if you get out of position, enjoying watching it so far, hopefully I'll catch the end later as I am out for a bit
McIlroy beats himself up again on Sunday.
Fleetwood trying his best to mess his round up at the 18th

Fleetwood in a play off for first PGA tour win with home country man Nick Taylor. Hoping Tommy gets it. I think if he wins this, he wins many pga events.
Neither want to win, they're enjoying their day of golf it appears and they just don't want it to end.
Just don’t understand Tommy. Such a good player but no wins on the PGA Tour
Holy shit, amazing putt by Nick Taylor to win it, 72ft putt !
Unbelievable putt. What a way to win it for the home team.
Feel for Fleetwood at the same time though.

What a putt.
Yeah, think this just breaks Fleetwood's mentality even more.
Hopefully he bounces back from it. He’s always such a class guy. He knows he can win, he’s done it on other tours. Just seems to come up against someone doing something else historic when he’s fighting for his own PGAT history.
Unreal putt. Only downside to the merger is the liv cnuts coming back to take away some of these great wins
Well played US open, Mcilroy grouped with Koepka
A major in prime time. Love it…

Its the first major since LIV where they pair rory with a LIV golfer
When it’s US open week you see Taylor Made videos showing the slope and firmness of the fair ways
So, what do we think? Is Rahm joining the Fireballs team and LIV before Valderrama in Spain in two weeks?
Most likeable guy on tour.
His response to finding out he was the odds on favorite to win the John Deere Classic was hilarious…
Getting geeked up for tomorrow…
Just watched a replay of Fitzpatrick win at Brookline. Came to the conclusion that his swing & mine are quite similar. A little handsy at the outset, more around than up on the backswing, then a reroute on the downswing.
Used to be Sandy Lyle.

Announced green speed this AM was 13. Marine layer slowed them down a bit, but they should speed back up with the wind in the afternoon.

They actually turned a par four into a par three!
Would love to see Fowler win.
Right!? Would be such a great story.
Schauffele would be a great winner, too. Him blitzed, smoking a cigar, after the US won the Ryder Cup was 10/10 content.
