    Golf isn't the first and won't be the last sport to split. I think LIV players shouldn't be touched. The main two tours should black list them and carry on as normal creating new stars. The last two major winners are much more well known now than they were beforehand. The sport will keep creating new marketable talent from winning the big events.

    Is it just the fact it’s Saudi money that we are bothered about? Otherwise isn’t it like the BDO and PDC?

    I think to many people it's the Saudi money that's the real problem. personally don't have much of an opinion on the format side of it.

    It’s also another shot at the iconic events in golf , in my opinion it’s no coincidence that they chose to start the tour a few weeks before one of the biggest historical events in golf since the 100th Open Anniversary , Stenson wouldn’t normally be someone they would target given his recent form but as Ryder Cup Captain to get him would be another disruption to an iconic event . It’s a blow that Cameron Smith is going but not until after the Presidents Cup along with a few more , apparently

    And on a similar theme regarding greed what are people's thoughts on the likes of Connnor McGregor Floyd Mayweather Logan Paul?

    Oh and here’s another reason to thoroughly despise the LIV Project. Donald Trump fully endorses it.

    Exactly this. Stenson is finished as a golfer really, in terms of competing for wins at the best events, so why target him?

    Because he's the Ryder Cup captain and it gets them the PR and disruption the Saudi's and that irritating git Norman crave. It's not just the money aspect, it's the disruption they're deliberately causing to the game. There's no morality or respect where they're concerned. I've never wanted something in sport to bomb as much as this. I'd take the LIV Tour failing even if I had to endure another decade of Leeds United in the Premier League.

    Ahh, I've loved them. But if you asked me to swap all the times and places I've played golf......
    Thankfully I don't have to choose. :)

    Load of balls.

    The Saudi regime are pretty horrible (I know understatement) but no one’s complained very much about the guns and bullets we sell them….some fellas go play golf and there’s nigh on death threats…. Sone other golfers who are holier than though all played in Saudi this year anyway!
