Poulter booed again today on the first tee. Have to say all the LIV stuff spoilt it a bit for me yesterday, wasn’t interested in seeing any of them. I’ve loved Sergio for decades and i was looking at him feeling sad and a little bit of disgust. Definitely less folk watching them and not cheering/clapping them as much when I did catch them.

Ian sure golfers are self employed and should be free to join ply their trade where ever they like. I missed out PGA.

You are absolutely clueless about golf tbh, you should have to earn the kind of money Woods has made, he certainly has by practicing so hard and pushing his body to the limits well before the crash.

I’d hardly say I am clueless about golf having played off single figures for 30 years. I have an opinion you don’t agree with which does not make me right or wrong. My point about Tiger Woods is that since he turned pro he never have to grind to make money his endorsements arrived quickly and meant he never had to grind to make money. He did that purely as he was driven to be the best. He did however get handed wealth beyond measure as soon as he turned pro. I used to be very traditional towards my golf but I am now open to see what the LIV tour does for the game. The PGA have a cheek as they are a monopoly now. I recently realised the European Tour has become the DP World Tour run by guess who the PGA tour. Everyone has to jump to their tune as they are the cash cow in town and they don’t like it when another alternative tour that they can’t bully comes along. Did the European Tour take the huff with Faldo, Sevy, Wosnam and co when they all decided to play most of their golf on the PGA tour no of course not. The PGA tour is just a bully.

Let LIV do their thing and the PGA can do theirs. No harm done. As a fellow low handicapper I find your ignorance of what it takes to be a top golfer and stay there alarming. Im in no way supporting the PGA tour or the Dubai Ports tour who have had tournaments in Saudi, Russia and a few other dodgy places, including where both are based. I can’t see how LIV are going to help the game grow by having some top golfers playing against lesser lights with no pressure. How is this going to help the game? Dubai for instance have courses but it’s not popular with locals, just folk with cash to go and play. The world doesn’t really need anymore golf courses to be honest. Will LIV be happy if their players are playing in the majors or other big tournaments if there’s a clash with their tournaments. As I said my big problem is what happens with the Ryder Cup and to a lesser extent the Open, where having to see these LIV players really soured the experience when I was there last Thursday. Hooefully it can all be sorted but I can’t see Norman being a part of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Billy Horschel pointed out you have to play 15 tournaments to be a member of the PGA or DP, add in their 14 LIV tournaments then that’s 29 tournaments which is more than they play now. They said they were moving to play less golf. You can’t make exceptions for them, the current members wouldn’t be happy. They could lower it to ten, would LIV do the same or be happy with their handful of big names playing the other tours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why why why do folk feel the need to do such things. There's a belter of a story coming out from the Scottish Boys at Edzell last week, the dad of the runner up caused chaos on the 18th green after his son lost as he had photos of the winners dad filling up his sons water bottle earlier in the round from a water fountain and was calling on the boy to be disqualified as he was 'aiding a competitor', he waited until the 18th green to call over the referee. Erse. There were multiple complaint about the same guys behaviour all through the round, talking and moving when the other lad was hitting, standing in the lines of his drives and he had to be asked to move 8 times from the referee.
