A question has been be proposed to myself.
Does “Prime Rory McIlroy” beat a “50% prime Tiger Woods”
And if not, what % does Prime Tiger have to be, to beat Rory
It’s a bit of a double edged sword.
LIV signed contracts with the players and if LIV don’t have the finances to honour those contracts, then what?
I guess it could be a case of “Who Blinks First”
Golfers signed contracts with LIV, not PIF
If LIV exists after 2026 in a reduced capacity (smaller purses), can players still be contractually forced to play?
Depends entirely on the language of the contracts and what guarantees LIV gave, but the lawyers might not be finished
IMO, John Rahm’s biggest problem in all of this is himself.
With players being able to veto his return to the PGAT and himself refusing to pay DPWT fines, he’s screwed as to what to do.
But with (allegedly) $700m in the bank from LIV, I doubt it really matters!

@secrettourpro Rahm is the biggest winner and loser in all of this. He’s made a boatload of money and will be let back in the association, but is one of the poster children for the LIV failure. If I was him I’d spend the year off counting my money.
BREAKING NEWS
It is understood that any return to the PGA Tour for John Rahm will be blocked by a number of PGA Tour Players who hold veto rights on such matters. Rahm is expecting the same treatment that Brooks Koepka received earlier this year.

I couldn’t understand from Scott O’Neils interview yesterday was this;
“We are looking to blend a version of LIV and the national opens, the great national opens around the world”
Does he mean he wants LIV to take over hosting National Opens, or something else?
