Can only imagine the legal fees during the next 24-36 months for the parties involved.
PGA Tour Draws Line in Sand, Refuses to Grant Releases for LIV Golf Events A memo sent to PGA Tour players said disciplinary action can be taken on those who play anyway. Greg Norman called it 'anti-golfer, anti-fan, and anti-competitive.'
The PGA Tour made a hard push back against the LIV Golf Invitational Series on Tuesday evening by telling its membership that it would not grant conflicting-events releases to its first tournament outside of London next month.
Those who decide to play in the June 9-11 event at Centurion Golf Club would be in violation of PGA Tour policy and subject to sanctions, which include fines, suspensions or possibly being denied membership.
LIV Golf Investments said it had received 170 entries, with 36 ranked among the top 150 in the Official World Golf Ranking, for its 48-man field. Player names were being withheld pending the granting of releases, and the Tour’s move suggests not all who sought permission will play.

I didn’t think the PGA allowed you to draw a line in the sand

If they all go play, PGA won't really be able to do anything. You tell 30 top guys they can't play in a regular PGA weekend like The Memorial or something, they will be looking for new a new TV partner pretty quick.

Anyone know if any media contracts have been signed? How will any fans access the product?

“We have just been informed that Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from the PGA Championship,” the PGA Championship said in a release. “Phil is the defending champion and currently eligible to be a PGA Life Member and we would have welcomed him to participate. We wish Phil and Amy the very best and look forward to his return to golf.”

Actually, I put $10 on Ryan to win $900. I always put a few bucks on Ryan no matter what. Long shot going in for sure. If he's leading or near the lead going into tomorrow I'll be mildly surprised but will throw some more on Ryan to win Round 4. The Cooler effect be damned! Phil is being Phil. Is there a chance he becomes the PGA villian, taking that moniker from Patrick Reed?

These prices are insane. I think people may sneak in pinch hitters. Nor sure what the law is for weed in Oklahoma but I'm pretty sure it's the same as Texas. I think people will come up with some creative ways to sneak in some booze...

So Dustin Johnson has entered to play in the new professional golf tournament I call the PGA 2. But no Phil. Hmmm...I'm sure DJ feels he can handle those entered and it's hard to walk away from that kind of $$$.
