    So why don't we make it easier for amateurs?  Lets get our drives going an extra 20 yards?  30 yards?   I'm not concerned at all about an amateur hitting their drives 3-5 yards less.     This is a whole lot of nothing.   Bifurcation, no bifurcation.  Just don't care.

    Sounds like Rahm to LIV is a done deal and it's over $500M.  Just crazy.  But it still won't get me to watch LIV.  Sadly he's another great player that most will only see at the 4 majors.

    Between this and the rollback...just a really bad week for golf.

    So it is official. I guess more guys will go to this stupid league that no one cares about now?

    Sooner than later golf will be like tennis where all anyone bothers to watch would be the majors.

    Sadly it looks like this is where we're heading.  No one will give a shit about either tour and the majors will be the only thing that really matter.

    The greed amongst the current group of players is unfathomable.  They are way overvaluing themselves.  They are only concerned about taking and not maintaining a good thing for the next generations.  They worked hard to get as good as they are, but nobody gives a sh*t about them without the PGA tour that was built by the people before them.  

    Sure Rahm is a little hyprocritical, but I'd find it difficult to turn down that much money (frankly, I wouldn't).

    Cantlay and Xander next?  2 players that value themselves like they are multiple major winners but in fact winless.

    He wants to grow the game. His move to Liv guarantees millions and millions less people will watch him play golf. It also likely means less people will watch the tour he is leaving. Seems as if that is the opposite of growing the game. 

    Fuck Liv.

    Rahm recently came across as one of the most thoughtful and interesting golfers. 

    His Arizona state reputation was that he drank and liked chicks with bit tits…nothing wrong with that.

    Based on his past comments, especially that the format is a joke and his legacy is most important, he’s the biggest fucking fraud of them all. 

    Fuck Phil. Fuck Norman. Fuck rahm. Fuck the pga

    Golf is dumb.

    Maybe $600 mil will buy him a jeweler who can take a couple links out of a watch

    This is amazing...that Barstool Jerry dude started a livestream at 9PM last night and said he's not stopping until he gets a hole in one. 1600 shots and 14+hours in and he's melting down. Says he can't quit...incredible stuff.
