@RealNeil1793093 @ProGolfCritic @ScottONeil If Fred Ridley saw an opportunity to profit from expanding The Masters brand by developing its own international golf series, they will and perhaps they do it in conjunction with the R&A, who's increasingly developing more of a global presence. The PGAT is not the be all, end all

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@ProGolfCritic @ScottONeil To add to my previous comments, there's no love lost between the #ANGC and #PGAT. Fred Ridley tolerates the PGAT, but is not happy with the closed shop environment they're creating and their resistance to the ball rollback. This explains a lot of the moves they're making.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@ProGolfCritic @ScottONeil Integrating the National Opens for automatic Masters bids at the expense of PGAT fall series winners is a great case in point of their global mission. Buy LIV's venue infrastructure, create your own global league w/ pathways to ANGC and brand it under the Master's Logo. Home Run!

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@ScottONeil at this point you don't have many tangible assets to sell besides player contracts and venue infrastructure scattered in warehouses across the globe. Get on the phone with Fred Ridley at ANGC and the R&A and see if they'll give you a pig and poke for the business.

@PengeMarco You and your agent need to get with PXG and redo your contract to only play their metal woods, because their irons are not a good fit. You had your Mizuno's dialed in and now you're a mess. It may require giving $$ back to PXG, but it'll be worth it in the long run.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@PengeMarco Worst move you've made is switching iron endorsing brands from Mizuno to PXG. Your coach built you a custom set of PXG irons and you're still sucking. I hope your endorsement deal with them is no more than a year, as this is a career killer move.

I think its safe to say #BrooksKoepka's jumped the shark. Amazing to see how far he's fallen since having won the PGA Championship in 2023.

@nastyflyergirl She had been retired before this latest comeback and should have stayed retired if she wanted any type of quality of life in her elder years.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@yozuriboy @DMacSportsCO @AltitudeSR Lindsey Vonn has always been about Lindsey Vonn. Her whole "comeback" from retirement has been a vanity play in an attempt to gain some sort of relevance again seeing she has little to nothing going for her otherwise. I knew this would end badly the day she announced her return.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@boomerbitch3 @CeliaBedelia It was a complete lapse of judgement by her and the U.S. Olympic Ski team in allowing her to compete. If she's wheel chair bound at 60 or 65 due to the accumulation of all her injuries just exactly how was that a well-calculated risk?

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@therealcjhill 💯 As she has really nothing else going for her. Skiing was her life and she could not stand no longer being relevant and in the limelight as she was bored in retirement.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@dockcopper @MikeParcej This was all a vanity play to have one more chance at Olympic gold and make herself relevant again as a sports celeb, when in reality she should have stayed retired if she hoped to maintain some semblance of a quality of life, as now that is likely shot.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@Clam_Fan @NUCLRGOLF It's all B.S. and P.R. speak at this point. Brooks was never fully vested in LIV the day he signed. It was a way for him to play golf with his bro and see if he could return to the player he was until his bro got relegated. Then it became a burden and he bolted back to the PGAT.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@CliffDamico @NUCLRGOLF Not true. You know who enjoys the LIV Golf format and is benefitting greatly from it? The young guys coming out of college who go from one team environment to the next. They're flourishing and are starting to win events outside of LIV. Where's the PGAT's young super talent?

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@fduffy123 @golfnation_ @sennawcf1 @livgolf_league Actually, the tour benefitting the most from the recent changes the PGAT has made is the @KornFerryTour, as the non-exempt former PGAT tour players, which there are a lot more of now, have to grind it out there to try and get back, making those events much more interesting.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@markgraylink @ReillyRick Indeed, they do and it's flying under the radar. Young guys like David Puig are winning tournaments outside of LIV and you're going to see guys like Ballestar, McKibben and Suratt competing for majors soon. What up and coming young super talent does the PGAT have? Blades Brown?

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@AaronCiniBall @golfisright @lad_golf And Rolex just signed on as a LIV sponsor. Rolex doesn't just sign deals willy nilly with soon to be defunct organizations. They obviously see growth potential with #LIV.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@steve_spach @AnthonyKim_Golf @BKoepka @PReedGolf 100% Spot on! I'm not sure what LIV offered P. Reed to resign, but I don't think they view this as a loss because he really didn't bring all that much exposure to LIV. Nor did Brooks, if we're being honest. Harold Varner III will be the next to go once his contract is up.

[Mike Bodo @mikebodo]

@J_SAND3RS @GCU_MBB Yep, they don't even try and hide the rigging anymore. It's just out there in the open for everyone to see.
