It really annoys me when they invent all of these excuses and reasons why they joined LIV. The only reason is money and for what it is worth, I get it. No need to be embarrassed. If someone is stupid enough to throw that much money at you for doing an easier job, I get why you would take it. Stop with all of the nonsense reasons, we are not daft.

Tucker using the interview as an opportunity for a private golf lesson.🤣👍

Something different is a lot more money. If the money wasn’t insanely higher, they would not be joining.

Money talks, that's all there is to it.

In the sixties there was a split in tennis.
Those who turned professional couldn’t play in the grand slams and other majors.
After about four years it all changed and they all came together to give us the competition we have now.
Golf may go through the same but Bryson is correct in that it’ll all be sorted out, but may take a few years.

Why do people criticize golfers for associating with the Saudis yet I see the prez fist bumping with the same regime?

[jujijime]

Guaranteed money is what he meant, just like the other pro sports. PGA doesn’t pay all participants.. sponsors do.. if you win or are marketable. Is it better golf??? No. But I don’t watch golf on tv anymore, it’s boring AF and I’m not paying for cable ever again. I prefer playing… but when I can’t play.. I like watching GoodGood and Bob Does Sports on YouTube… the pga is going to be left in the dust unless they adapt.

You can only ignore an event like the Phoenix Open for so long before you realize you are not capitalizing on fan involvement.

I used to be a PGA Apprentice, and I think this is the best thing for GOLF. The PGA was so stuck up with there monopoly, they had forgotten where they came from. The PGA was founded by hard working golf employees and not elitists. Today the people who run the PGA are a bunch of elitists.

[rogerramjet]

Follow the money!!! Bottom line, money.

[jonesnicholas]

Anyone else here after Pinehurst ‘24? Bryson is a class act. It’s cool to see that he’s stayed the course and kept his moral compass

[paulyhan]

LIV tour is paying golfers what the best in the world should be paid. Bryson made the brave choice of risking his rep to advance the game. Let’s recognize that and respect that. Exciting!!

[backbybay]

I like both leagues. However since I stream everything now, it is nice to watch LIV on youtube for free instead of having to subscribe to other services. I expect that will change in the future. but for now I think its kind of cool.

[corypoole]

"I got paid a butt load of money" is the only correct answer. LIV is a high paid intramural

[RG-jasep]

The most amazing thing is that the PGA Tour has suddenly increased the prize money on offer for their tournaments.
Another aspect is that Saudi money is also extensively involved in the English Premier League, and NOTHING is being said.

[DrewOeffinger]

sum it up.

the dude made more money then he ever would have from PGA. and thats the bottom line

i dont care what people say, if i were offered 400 mil to come play golf? id do it. unless i dont need the money like tiger

[BHISAO]

PGA is just mad that another organization is giving players better benefits.

[rkid]

Fox News picking up this story makes me think Fox may be the network with enough stones to make a TV deal with LIV.

[andystrub]

It's all about the money. End of story. End of argument. End of these interviews on "why did you join the LIV Tour?" It's real simple. Any other answer is just nonsense because it's a 54 hole exhibition every week on the LIV tour and anyone who thinks that is better for the game and more fun to watch also likes watching preseason football more than the regular season.

[Wildhorse]

Scru PGA. They're just whining bc they don't like the competition and they know they're going to lose money
