Feeling for Rory the most in all this. Yea I’m biased, but the guy stuck his head out for the TOUR, took all of Jay Monahan’s bullets, turned down $500,000,000 while watching all his buddies get paid, and got completely blindsided by this. Just brutal.
@letitflye@gavafox You understand that just because this merger happened doesn’t meant the slate is clean. If anything it’s even dirtier than it already was.
What if this was the plan the whole time? Just a ploy to “grow the game,” or in this case, get more attention on competitive golf, which will naturally bring in more money. Can’t deny, that would be pretty genius marketing.
I genuinely feel sorry for someone like Hideki Matsuyama. He reportedly turned down about $300 million … and now his loyalty to the tour doesn’t mean much
