LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

[Vinsk]

Just finished the book today. PM certainly seems to have a rather sporadic personality. He’s done some really shitty things and said some really asinine things yet also done nice things for many different people. Hard to say what his ‘core’ really consists of. But as I’ve suspected I do believe that Phil isn’t near as smart as he thinks he is, and he has a true gambling addiction. I wouldn’t doubt his financial issues are more troublesome than anybody but Phil knows.

The field for the first event was supposed to come out today but apparently is not. Soon, but not today.

What a shit show.

I wonder if Ty Webb and his college roommate Mitch Kumstein will be playing in the LIV?

They have 9 days until the first tournament. And there is supposed to be some sort of team draft beforehand, too! Still nothing. Doesn't seem like a recipe for success, but who knows. Imagine if you bought a ticket for this event.

Hmmmmm.

Except for maybe DJ, big who cares for this?

Oh wait, they got Koepka! Chase, that is.

Disappointing but not surprising. None of those dudes on the LIV list give a shit about golf outside of how much money they can make

[Double Mocha Man]

Weak lineup.  And even Dustin is fading these days.  (fading as in ability to win)

Could DJ be dis-invited from the Masters?

I hope they do.

Dustin's father-in-law bailed on the Edmonton Oilers and went to play for the Los Angeles Kings...

Did the Kings commit the same atrocities as the Saudis?

Hardly the same thing.

Drawing parallels.

We all know why it’s in the best interests for DJ’s ‘family.’ 

[jbishop15]

I’m hearing in the $150-$200 million range for DJ to jump ship

what a loser

[iacas]

Supposedly Phil could have gotten $40M as a sponsor for like the next 20 years. So weigh that against whatever it's rumored Phil will have gotten from the Saudis.

I cannot comment on this without getting into politics.

I'll just say that as much as I liked DJs big dick ego, he was always dead behind his eyes. I'm disappointed.
