The worst is how they are all trying to justify it. Just say I'm a greedy prick.

Yep, a few have been quite honest but not many. If the Majors clamped down, it would end pretty quickly.

I'm not so sure - there's a risk this quickly goes in the same direction darts did. Sports washing aside, the PGA and DP tour have to come up with a long term strategy to embrace this, other than just pissing off the players.
BTW, there must be an interesting story behind LIV's decision to host an event at Trump Bedminster next week...
(scroll up for the backstory)

Oh, I agree the PGA and DPT need to respond. But it can't just be about money, it has to be about sporting integrity. LIV at the moment just feels like invitationals.

Don't agree with the LIV series at all but it's laughable that the PGA talks about integrity, not everything being about money and growing the game of golf.
Same people who sold all the rights to Sky, including the Ryder Cup? PGA don't give a fuck about integrity, they're just bothered about defending their monopoly and the money that comes with it.

Golf golf golf golf... Just days away from THE best sporting event of the year, bar none. Started putting a few bets on last night. Really keen on Cam Smith and his terrible LIV endorsed moustache this year. I think I'll wait until the end of R1 before I back anyone else outright. Had a small tinkle on Sepp Straka because an ace in the practice round is always going to be a confidence boost. And I've read a lot about Gordon Sargent, so taken some decent odds for him making the top 40. No sentimental bet on Freddie this year - I realised it's been 10+ years since he actually played alright around Augusta

Sounds like the weather will play a big part. It's been raining heavily in the area over the last couple of weeks with more forecast for the tournament - early mutterings about the prospect of a Monday finish.

Definitely going to be a long day for Brooks and his dodgy knee.

No one watching tonight? Rahm's killed any excitement but at least he's fairly likeable.

Always appreciate a good final round choke job.
Especially when itโs some Aldi Jon Cena guy with an unnecessary s in his name.

Crikey, saw Rahm was ahead but hadn't clocked there were so many holes to play. Thought it was done and dusted a while ago (been away from telly/offline for a bit)

First time I've managed to back the outright winner pre-tournament in about 10 years. Wish I'd gone for Phil though.

Although negated when Koepka can't hit it straight I guess!
