I agree with Rand Paul.

What specifically did he say? Based on that summation, I would disagree with you. The Tour made financial commitments to their players that they appear unable to deliver on without a significant funding source. It seems no one but the PIF was willing to step up and deliver those funds. 

Go to the 1:36:00 mark and you can listen to Blumenthal making his argument for the PGAT not needing the money.

Thanks for linking. Blumenthal seems to believe that by "insisting" on similar terms from other potential partners, the Tour could have secured a comparable deal from another entity without having to partner with the PIF.

Without knowing details about the conversations the Tour had with other prospective partners, it's impossible to say for sure - but given what we know about the current Tour sponsors balking at having to pony up more, it seems unlikely that there were any comparable offers available to be had.

Can someone help me understand something regarding "Teams".  I've really struggle with the LIV Team concept.  It was reported that Rory & Tiger were potentially going to be "Given Teams".  My question is, are the teams "Owned" by the captains and they profit similar to owning a MLB or NFL Team?  What would the value to Rory or Tiger be if they were "Given a team"?

Let's keep stirring the pot. Lets remove the non-solicitation portion of the agreement. That was Jimmy Dunne's whole worry was LIV recruitment would hurt the PGAT because of the limitless money they have.

Was not sure where this belonged.
But since he is a LIV player, and they just had a flash mob & Mickelson bet with bookies with ties to the Mob, this seemed like an appropriate place.

Now some independent financial money may be coming in to put up a deal that could rival the PIF.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-28/endeavor-fenway-said-exploring-pga-deal-to-rival-saudi-arabia-s

I still remain reluctant to think that the PIF would be easily outbid, but… maybe this will raise the price a bit?

I’m sure Brooks thinks this is just waaaay cool! FFS. Just embarrassing.

WTF!!!!!

Who's idea was this? Are we supposed to believe this is a spontaneous thing that "just happened"? ... WTF?????
I am truly embarrassed for these people. So much so that I'm tempted to stop making fun of people who wear white belts and start making fun of anyone who thinks this is a good idea. 

In all seriousness.... WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!

No. Flash mobs has never spontaneously just happened. They have obviously planned and rehearsed this.

Gee, maybe this tool's attitude was the reason for the problem in the team room, not Cantlay's hat.

But then again, what the hell do I know?
