Im hesitant to listen b/c Andy probably is upset the new entity isnt headquartered in the chicago suburbs and not enough midwest focus with the merger is his biggest gripe
When I did club champion I automatically told the guy I was out on pxg and he said I shouldn’t be so dismissive they’re great clubs. Clearly they’re in the pocket if the troops.

This is 100% the wrong thing to say when the competitor company you acquired had a pending monopoly complaint against you in the federal courts which sparked an ongoing DOJ probe into your monopolistic actions.
I'm glad I finally broke 70 on a day where nothing remotely interesting happened. I think the real highlight of the round was that none of the people I was paired with said anything cringeworthy or racist when the LIV/PGA convo came up
What's the worst that they could have found in discovery? That they were doing something to bust the non-profit status and owe a ton of back taxes or something? Just not sure I buy that conspiracy theory Much more likely scenario is there's no way they could fund all these elevated events with the game in a non-growth phase from TV/sponsors and were just staring down the barrel of years of insane losses against the unlimited Saudi money pit and just took the big payout instead
you're spot on. the discovery thing is silly. PGA Tour wanted discovery. this is all cash-flow, line the pockets, morals don't matter, late stage capitalism stuff.
So you’re saying they decided that market competition wasn’t good for their profit margins so they used their undue influence in the market to absorb their biggest competitor. I hope the PGA Tour gets the axe from the FTC.
On way to golf scramble today, first day off this year and in a delightful mood. *string of text* wtf
