This Del Woppio overreaction will need studying

Where's that "shit takes" thread gone?

Oh, the shock. PIF doesn't get instant world domination, and then wants to fuck off. May the same happen shortly in Newcastle.

How sad, what a pity, never mind.

Anybody who wants back on the USPGA should be forced to apply and qualify for their card.

And made to play with Top Flite balls in all majors

LIV is very popular over here because of Cameron mullet and a couple of events being held here. I can see it, myself, but people seem to like it.

I actually had a quick lesson yesterday off a local who is a qualified coach. Not swung a club in a long old time but ended up hitting the ball a fair old distance. It does help being 1,000 metres up!

Be good if LIV does end that the DP World and PGA Tour are somehow interwoven, maybe replace US PGA with an overseas major but I guess US time zones and advertisers will block that

It would be more likely that the Players Championship became a fifth major. US viewers will always be king for the PGA tour, and they have the whip hand with revenues and especially prize money.

From my point of view it would be amazing to have a major at say Royal Melbourne which is a superb golf course and definitely at the difficulty level needed for a major. But you have to attract the players and TV rights over here were stretched in a budgetary sense just paying Rory an appearance fee this year. US viewers are not going to want a major in the middle of the night for them.

Rory begs to differ...
