Shameful Shock of the Day: PGA Tour Merges With LIV Golf

Ugh! When I saw the news on Twitter, I just assumed I was reading one of the parody sites like the Babylon Bee.

After all the disgraceful defections to LIV, especially Phil Mickelson's; all the greed, all the overlooking of Saudi participation in September 11; after seeing Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Brandel Chamblee and others speak up against LIV -- now this! A merger, as if nothing had happened!

Washington Post: "PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed LIV Golf. The stunning announcement came after months of pointed rhetoric, bitter feelings and heated debate about the human rights record of the breakaway tour’s Saudi backers. It also came amid ongoing litigation between LIV and the PGA Tour, which both had filed lawsuits against the other."

As a golf fan, I find this to be a despicable decision, and, sadly, I will no longer be watching the PGA Tour on CBS.

Arnold Palmer must be rolling in his grave today.
