More reading of that golf article...
Hmmm, and who's return on investment is monahan talking about? Surely not the golfers.
I'm starting to see a different picture of pga golf that I was vaguely aware of... notice return on investment is first, not growth or support of golf itself.
So now it makes sense why monahan took the cash. He knew pga was going to get squeezed slowly out of the competition. But he sure did well for his own 'return on investment' from the looks of it. And the only way saudi's was getting pros was paying them 100's of millions signing fees. Holy shit. You can't compete with unlimited funds of the sheik. Must be why he 's threatening dropping gas production because he has to pay for all the sportswashing gold bullshit. How can he drop it any more, he never brought it back to pre 2019 levels.

Monahan hosts a press conference at the Travelers Championship, detailing abrupt changes to the PGA Tour’s future plans. First, a fall series of events in which the top 50 in the FedEx Cup compete for $20 million purses. Second, a Tour schedule that runs January through August, with elevated invitationals and, once again, bigger purses. “We welcome good, healthy competition,” he says. “The LIV Saudi golf league is not that. It’s an irrational threat, one not concerned with the return on investment or true growth of the game.”
