Very defensive when asked what to tell the people who claim the saudis simply bought golf…called it insane

Newco is not only to maintain status quo but also be an opportunistic entity

"No way on God's green earth that we'll (PGAT) would give up control"

"Notion that you can simply buy something without control is silly"

"I can assure you that (giving saudis control) will never happen"

Said deal still structured in a way where both parties can walk away if goes sideways

Trying to damage control the situation. It's not working. Is anyone really believing the garbage he's spewing?

Notice when people ask these guys "what changed" none of them are saying "they arent who we thought they were". They still know these are bad mother****as

I believe there are a lot of details not fleshed out yet. PGA tour believes it is retaining control. They view the PIF as a minor investor for cash flow. Jimmy believes his role is to protect the players and the game.

"If someone can find someone that had anything to do with it (meaning the saudis he's dealing with in reference to 9/11), then I'll kill them myself"

Then mentioned Germany, etc to try and compare to Germans post WWII

Now fake crying again in reference to if one of his kids would've died in 9/11

If you're referring to Jimmy Dunne his firm was in one of the towers and he lost a lot of friends and employees in 9/11. Just a heads up in case you're completely ignorant which I suspect.

Yeah, there will never be a time the PGA can move past the fact that this is Saudi money after they condemned it…

No I knew that, I just don't think 22 years later that he starts every single day thinking about 9/11. No doubt thinks on it often. We all do and I certainly didn't have anyone I personally knew there.

Chamblee is trying to get that last bit of relevance/spotlight before this effectively ends his career.

The dude isn't schooled in the law (was it that obvious when he doesn't even know any of the regulatory bodies by name?), and there are very few things that could block this merger.

First off, international communities and regulators will love this. It gets them more golf, not less. It gets golf closer to soccer and F1 in a global sense.

Congressman: I'm blocking this

Saudi: can I make a $20M donation to your favorite "charity"?

Congressman: this all looks good to me!

I think the corporate structure outlined in the deal makes it much more friendly from an anti-trust perspective. Buyouts and consolidations by holding companies happen all the time. Each of the three entities operating independently (albeit coordinating their efforts) will help.

Not to mention that the PGA and R&A are not involved in this deal.

Truth hurts. It's been 22 years and our own government views Saudi Arabia as a strategic ally and invests heavily in their defense. There is zero reason golfers should have to answer to that if the American people don't even demand our government should do the same.

And same goes with any sports league or company doing business in China. I may not like it but it's allowed. I can't hold it against them.

Such a terrible take

"Truth hurts"

You don't say that to grieving families. Everyone handles losing someone in very different ways. That was a terrible comment.

Did you only read the terrible headlines by axios? Watch the interview it linked when they made the claim



Tell me what he said there that is bad?

And yes. The truth hurts. The leader of the PIF had nothing to do with 9/11. We're painting with the broadest of brushes here about others while completely discounting the destruction and devastation our own country and military has done for decades being the world police.

I love being an American and i believe we're the greatest country ever to have been created. I do believe we set out for good around the world but we are not infallible. We're also major hypocrites. We left hundreds or thousands to die in Kabul just 2 years ago as a very easy example.
