I think the new CEO is going to shake things up, which is probably needed.

It is very interesting how they made sure to emphasize that Koepka is being "punished." Equally interesting is how they are clearly opening the door for Rahm and BDC to come back (I guess Cam Smith too).

BDC isn't coming back unless LIV completely folds. Rahm? Maybe?

Funny that Phil is the only LIV golfer who won a major in 2021 that’s left out of the current deal, which is only for 2022-2025.

He didn’t burn that bridge, he blew it up with a thermonuclear bomb. It’s too bad, he would have been great for the senior tour. Hes a dck, but he’s also hilarious and a real entertainer.
Overall I’m happy with this. It was managed quietly and it opened the door to the few players that will make the tour a better product.

I’d like BDC to jump back, but reports are he’s eyeing a 500mil payday. I’m not sure how he can pass on that if it’s true.

So Rahm, BDC, and Cam Smith are staying with LIV.

They got more money? Or Rahm is staying because of his contract?

I do think Rahm is staying because of his contract having so many years left on it.

Which brings to mind .... why did LIV let Brooks walk?

BDC won't leave because he can't do his YouTube thing with the PGA Tour.

Cam Smith doesn't register imo. Nice player but doesn't turn TVs on like Rahm or BDC

In other news, DJ has signed a multi-year extension with LIV.

On Brooks, I'm guessing that letting Brooks taking the gamble that he would be let back on tour might entice players to jump to LIV next year. Definitely a gamble. Definitely a guess on my part.

It's too bad BDC couldn't do the YouTube thing with the tour. It made BDC a huge sensation and in turn he is really the only thing keeping LIV going. The restrictions the tour places on its players really is maddening. They treat the players as independent contractors, then they muzzle them. I don't like LIV, but I get why there was a market for it with the players.
