I don't play much/if any golf anymore. Used to be a regular before I got into the lawyerin' business, but once I did, I was no longer around the group I played with. Plus, I just didn't have the time anymore. I still go to the range and hit from time to time, and think I'd like to get back in it, but the reality is, I have no friends. But, I digress.
Call me strange, or call me Edna if you like. The fact is, I've always loved watching golf. The Masters is one of my favorite weeks of sports watching. Obviously, golf has been going through some big transitions in the past couple of years, with the Saudi backed, LIV Tour, signing a huge chunk of the top PGA talent, to ginormous contracts. When those players started leaving, there was a lot of animosity, and the PGA Commissioner openly said if you leave, you ain't coming back. Then, he started taking shots at the Saudi's and all but calling the players traitors. Lawsuits have been flying from both sides.
Then, out of the blue, it was announced yesterday that the tours are merging. All indications are that the vast majority of the PGA players got the news the same way, and same time as the general public. The Commissioner is being ripped as one of the biggest hypocrites in all of sports. Suddenly, that Saudi money didn't look so bad anymore.
Anyway, I know there's zero golf talk on here, but this is a huge dealio in the sports world.
