Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are ineligible for Ryder Cup because they quit the European tour for LIV.

Meanwhile Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson are in Forbes' top 10 athletes making 100M+ along with Ronaldo, NBA, and other footy stars. They only play in 14 LIV tournaments + Masters, British Open or any major that will still admit them. That's insane. Phil fricking Mickelson who is 52.

"I recognise everything I've said in my past positions," Monahan admitted. "I recognise people are going to call me a hypocrite. Anytime I said anything, I said it with the information I had in the moment."

In the past with the information I had in the moment, Bashar Al Assad was a war criminal and pariah amongst Arab leaders. With the information I have today we welcome him back to the Arab league of nations.

In the past with the information I had in the moment, Nicolas Maduro was a dictator who denied his own people democratic choice. With the information I have today, Lula da Silva and the rest of Latin America can embrace and extend a warm hand of co-operation and mutual understanding.

In the past with the information I had in the moment, Donald Trump fomented a treasonous rebellion on 6th January. With the information I have today.......................

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is taking a leave of absence as he recuperates from a medical condition, the organization said in a statement late Tuesday.

...you can't make this sh*t up. The millions he pocketed selling out to the Saudis should take good care of his "medical" condition.

"If LIV Golf was the last place to play golf on earth, I would retire. That's how I feel about it. I would play the majors, but I'd be pretty comfortable." - Good ole Rory.

Tiger Woods joins as player director to the PGA where player directors (including Rory) outnumber the others.

In other news, Mickelson says he has no interest in being punished to re-join the PGA Tour and instead thinks people should be sanctioned for slandering players who went over to LIV. The marriage with the Saudis is going well it seems.
