PGA Tour Goal: Weave Wokeism Into All Fabrics Of Its Business
https://progolfweekly.com/pga-tour-g...-its-business/During yesterday’s press conference at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, amid a fire hose of corporate-speak and sloganeering, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed that the billion-dollar non-profit is working to “weave” wokeism into its business model.
“At the 2020 TOUR Championship, I sat here and pledged that the PGA Tour would be part of the conversation and the solution surrounding racial and social injustices in our society,” said Monahan, who, in the most recent reporting year (2018), was paid $4.5 million in salary and bonuses.
“We made a commitment to communicate, learn, show compassion, and ultimately demand better. That started with and, frankly, continues with doing a lot more listening than talking.

I don't think anyone is arguing that these guys don't have a right to jump ship. More like asserting our right has fans to dislike them for it.
Money ruins sports and this is not just money it's scum dog billionaire 14th century king money.
Michelson is said to have said something to the effect of "I know they're human rights record and I wouldn't take their money if they weren't giving me so much of it"
Most of the guys making the big bucks on LIV were already rich and famous because of the PGA. Tiger reportedly told em to go pound sand ( they certainly have lots of that)
What does one do with his second 50 million?

The Ryder Cup is already match play.
I don't think it is the right that is upset about this. I think it is the left because the support from the right comes from the rejection of the woke PGA. The PGA also banned using Trump courses and someone wants to blame him for supporting the LIV?
The PGA does not act very American in my estimation. Soon they will be kneeling on the first tee.
Of course BenjaminO is upset when others won't do whatever he/she wants.

I've often wondered what four of these guys or even two in best ball could do. Then there is the other scoring system, I forget what it is called but it is based on points and encourages go for it golf , and there is match play. Variety is good.
But I'll stay with the PGA regardless. I have long thought we should break ties with the Saudis, not that such a move would directly affect golf. Unless the House of Saud gets qualified as terrorist. LOL
