Kokrak thriving in Vegas should not be a surprise @livgolf_league

If this happens, we are back ⏱️

[Dan Rapaport @Daniel_Rapaport]

Word spreading among LIV players
that Anthony Kim will make his LIV Golf debut in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, March 1-3.

There he goes again! Clown Boy Chamblee. We need @barstoolsports to make a clown Chamblee shirt and sell it to the masses! Or, maybe we will 👀

[Brandel Chamblee @chambleebrandel]

It’s been a busy few days with news of the proposed PGA Tour/LIV merger and trying to both understand it and divine out if it does, in fact, mean the Saudis own professional golf.

It raises a great many questions, such as:

Why a tour that seemed to have the upper hand would merge with a tour that was beset with waning interest and seemed to be out of ideas?

How can a majority investor in a company not have the controlling position?

What proportion of this merger was driven by discovery and what was driven by economics?

Did the PGA Tour really not have any other economic solutions?

If the merger doesn’t go through because it is blocked by the Player Board or regulatory agencies, will the PGA Tour and the Saudis still find a way to be in business together and will LIV still die?

What does Yasir Al-Rumayyan even know about golf and since the likely answer to that question is, not much, why is he ON THE BOARD?

Given that the terms of the deal are so opaque it’s hard to know, with any certainty, the answers to these questions.

I do know that the derision being directed at the deal makers, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Jimmy Dunne and Ed Herlihy seems somewhat unfounded given the legal and economic realities they were likely dealing with. And to whatever degree they are guilty of selling out to the Saudis it pales in comparison to the soulless narcissistic greed of those players who defected to the Saudi league and in doing so gave LIV leverage and sent professional golf into a tailspin.

It’s likely that the PGA tour, like Captain Sully landing that plane in the Hudson, made the best of a very bad situation.

If it leads to the destruction of LIV, doesn’t disrupt the philanthropic foundation of the tour and neither diminishes the meritocratic appeal of the professional game nor dims the legacy of past and present players (excepting of course those who defected to LIV), as unconscionable as the source of the money is, given the irreparable harm the defectors caused the game this deal may have been the best possible scenario.

Regardless, the PGA Tour is now in bed with the Saudis and with the exception of the long ago days when the tour had exclusionary clauses within its bylaws, it’s hard to imagine a sadder scenario for professional golf.

@jeffyc22 @USGA @eamonlynch Stand corrected 😂

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

This is funny. This guy can’t go a conversation without bringing up LIV. He literally asked a @USGA staffer about LIV when that wasn’t even part of the segment. @eamonlynch may need to look at covering another sport/interest. Lacrosse doesn’t have Saudi money…yet.

[NUCLR GOLF @NUCLRGOLF]

🚨JUST IN: Initial thoughts have been penned by Golfweek / Golf Channel’s Eamon Lynch - one of the harshest critics of LIV: “No matter how this deal is dressed up, the PGA Tour and golf as a whole will suffer from the toxic Saudi alliance, overlaid with a malignant MAGA component at home.”

[Claude Harmon III @claudeharmonIII]

So is it still all about history and trophies? Asking for a friend……..

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

Every player who is “upset” with Jay will end up thanking him because he just made them ALL a ton of $!

The usual suspects are the ones with the outrage and they just got 👊🏻 in the face. Life has been good in our position, don’t hate it for the Tour fanboys.

@chambleebrandel right now

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

Wonder what Rory is up to?

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

What will the @realDonaldTrump NFT floor price be 24 hours from now?

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

Tiger on 18 at Augusta...

Doesn't get much better.

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

The media continues to push this LIV/PGAT narrative. They are golfers, nobody is coming to blows. They’re still play games at home together. Drop it and enjoy Augusta.

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

The pod officially has a dude @theNFTdude

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

@PGATOUR @NBCSports @nbc scrubbing the LIV guys from the list of Match Play winners may have been the reason we aren’t getting a Rory/Scheffler final. Will discuss on this weeks pod.

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

New 🎙️ is out!

@RusRus15 & @ColeWorld222 talk about ISO20022 and it’s approved cryptos, the rollback of the golf ball at the professional level, and of course the LIV Minute.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

Could you ever imagine another professional sport (NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL) bending over backwards to make changes due to a rival league? Don’t think this makes the @PGATOUR look great, even if it works out.

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

What is going on? @RusRus15 gets @Deadfellaz and now @ColeWorld222 gets @LazyLionsNFT. Things are looking up for the future of the pod. Seems that the conversation with @NFTicket lit a 🔥

[Cole 🌎 @ColeWorld222]

Gm!

Always been a fan of the @LazyLionsNFT art.

Been hearing some buzz around the project, dug into it, and had to jump in and pick up my first one!

@AshurNFT how did I do? 🦁👑

#ROAR #lionfollowlion

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

I hope within the next 6 weeks @JamesHahnPGA will go on @NoLayingUp. They take a massive dump on him every time he opens his mouth, so it would be great content for them to hash it out for all of us listeners to hear.

[Crypto Show - Putting for Dough @Web3Putts]

Finally part of @Deadfellaz! Been a long ride to this, but pumped to be a part of the #Horde! Follow and listen to the pod! @betty_nft @psych_nft
