I am about as traditional as it comes regarding golf, having played the game for 50 years. I still reminisce about the sound of metal spikes on cement cart paths. Had a custom-made persimmon wood and it was cool. I think if Jack Nicklaus could play in this generation and with the current technology, he would have won way more than 18 majors.
My initial thoughts leaned toward the PGA and not the LIV pros. However, after getting more information and disregarding anything the media and talking heads said, I did an about face. As I said earlier in this thread, the pros have been trying for years to make changes and capitalize on their fame and what they bring to the game. Instead, the PGA failed to implement meaningful incentives and bonuses. Like most elites (political, professional, academic, etc.) they still think things are the same as 50-60 years ago and try to force solutions rooted in the past. And as should be a shock to no one, when the outdated solutions failed to achieve the desired result, they became vindictive. For some reason the PGA continues to apply a communistic approach to the capitalist marketplace. They have been able to get away with that for years, but not anymore. No effort. No compromise. No common ground.
While it probably won’t happen, the PGA deserves to have Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, and Brooks Koepka finish 1-2-3 (with Brooks announcing he has signed a LIV contract after finishing his final round).
