the "you" in this case would be our kids

My point is you're reacting to a false statement. He didn't tell the families to get over it. The article did him dirty. Based on what he said my response is the truth hurts.

I understand the devastation of families affected by 9/11. I don't think I've ever been more emotionally moved than I was during the 4 hours I spent at the 9/11 memorial and museum without saying a single word to anybody the entire time I was there. It was astoundingly powerful.

I have friends who have served and gone through it all as well. Maybe my initial reaction seemed harsh but my point is simply that we can't make all decisions now based on the actions of others more than 2 decades ago. If we did then we'd never have rebuilt japan or western Germany. At some point we all have to move on. And Saudi Arabia should be given the chance to as well.

And again, Bryson didn't say what you and the article claimed. Seems the headlines did the trick.

Who says it can't be criticized? Everyone is criticizing it. That's the risk they took and now they pay for it with major egg on face.

This right here. Good grief, how about a little grace for people that suffered a loss that no apology will ever cover. GTFO with that truth hurts garbage. They owe forgiveness to no one. They owe a path to forgiveness to no one.

Yah. I'm going to tap myself out of this argument. When I have seen buddies who i served along side with getting their flags presented to their 5 and 7 year old daughters I get emotional.

We all joined up for the same reason after seeing 9/11

I didn't take it as him telling the families to forgive them. Misleading headline for sure. Be mad at the government for not invading Saudi Arabia not a golfer.

Supposedly the details of the deal as relayed by its architect, Jimmy Dunne. According to this, Monahan will be in charge of both the PGAT and LIV and can disband LIV if he so chooses. Also makes it sound like not much is really happening at present. The deal is primarily forward looking, with the PIF being the Tour's exclusive investor going forward. Who knows.

I listened to the full interview and he was definitely telling them that they should forgive.

This will be interesting to watch unfold. If the article JCA posted is true, the PGA will have their revenge. But the LIV guys seem to believe they "won" for now. Devil is in the details. If I was a LIV player, got sold out and had to pay my way back into the tour after this- I'd be pretty salty. Really rich still, but salty.

This is correct

This info is coming from the players

This is the correct take as well

Well, it's accurate as of now

You will see more and more of him....

Hes going to be leading the committee that decides how each LIV guy can come back on tour on a case by case basis

If that fully turns out to be the case and Jay truly has full authority with no checks, then I guess it's probably a good thing for Koepka that he avoided the sniping and stayed friendly with Tour guys + Jay on the side.

I'd have to imagine there will be some limits to the retribution authority because giving major varying degrees of penalties based off personal bias or dislike is absolutely not what the game of golf needs as it reunites.

Just a thought I had. Jay mentioned they would explore team golf, but didn't mention LIV. Didn't Tiger and Rory just start a team golf enterprise? Could the new entity buy up Tiger and Rory's concept as a way to pursue a team golf concept while also giving them a way to compensate Tiger and Rory for their loyalty?

there are some really interesting team combos out there if they get creative: the irish guys, a Lone Star State team, University of Florida and OSU guys; guys you love to hate (Phil, Koepka, Bryson, Reed), plus many other combos I am not even dreaming of.

Announced the Los Angeles golf club yesterday. Sounds like they are going to follow the typical sports framework and base them around cities.

Owned by Venus and Serena Williams.

It needs to be by manufacturer to have a chance IMO.

I can't think of any other way besides home region/college that makes sense to draw any interest.

Am I the only one reading these comments in a British accent?

I think something like this makes a lot of sense:

This year, for example, the Tour is doling out $100 million to its most popular players via its Player Impact Program. Suppose Monahan tells LIV players they can return, but they have to pay a fine and will be ineligible for the PIP for the next 10 years. That would ensure that over the next decade, $1 billion (or more) will go only to players who stayed.

Some people are going to lose their minds when they finally realize the funding makes the decisions. This apoears to be no different than an other PE funding organization having sole capital control.

PIP is probably going away. The whole thing about this being a private company now is the players can have equity. That's how guys like Rory, Tiger, etc will be taken care of.
