    We should remember Brooks’ press conference at the US Open when he transfers over to LIV.   If he doesn’t switch then respect for his ripping the media but if he rips the media for asking questions and then he switches a few weeks later than he is disingenuous. 

    Yep, Brooks completely rips on the media for asking him questions about a tour he will join less than a week later.  He wasn’t winning anymore on the PGA and probably doesn’t get the endorsements compared to others so makes sense he is chasing the money,

    So who's our WCW comparison for Brooks? So far we have....

    The Saudi government as Ted Turner
    Greg Norman as Eric Bischoff
    Phil Mickelson as Hollywood Hogan (right down to the black beard/clothes/shades)
    Dustin Johnson as Kevin Nash
    Bryson DeChambeau as Scott Hall

    He's sponsored by Nike and just signed a huge equipment deal with Srixon/Cleveland.  Dude is making a ton of money on endorsements.  He has been brutal this year but finished top 10 in 3 majors last year.  Huge loss for the Tour.  This whole situation just sucks.

    The Eamon Lynch article on Brooks is pretty good.  This is all bad though.  The 3 biggest heels in golf...4 if you count Sergio, are all gone from the PGA Tour.  Does suck

    I'm assuming this is Brooks, Bryson, and Reed?

    Maybe Phil rather than Brooks?  I wouldn't quite call Brooks a heel.  Bryson and Reed for sure.

    “You can’t drive a car looking in the rear view mirror”.  This may be the most ridiculous statement I have heard from Koepka. Sounded contrived and clearly he thought of it ahead of time because his delivery was a little clunky like he over practiced it.  

    It would be tough to turn down $100M.  Hopefully they will do a lot of good with it and not just buy planes and houses.  My guess is DJ and Brooks will buy planes and houses judging by how they needed to make sure the world was aware of how fantastic their wedding events were on Instagram.  One of the reasons I thought Brooks would go to LIV because he is about money and has an inferiority complex.
