A Golf League We Can LIV Without

What an absolute disgrace this is. Here are the suspended players, via Sky Sports:  

"Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are among the players suspended from competing on the PGA Tour following their involvement in the controversial Saudi-funded LIV International Golf Series. Graeme McDowell, Kevin Na, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Hudson Swafford, Talor Gooch, Branden Grace, Matt Jones, Martin Kaymer, Andy Ogletree, Peter Uihlein and Turk Pettit are the other players no longer eligible to compete in PGA Tour events, including Korn Ferry Tour, Canada Tour and Tour of Champions."

Mickelson looks like he has made the change from Walter White into Heisenberg, but the captions on these photos are much better.

Imagine the damage to reputations had Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus attacked the PGA Tour and then joined the Saudi tour purely for the money. Their reputations would have been destroyed.  Well, that's going to be the outcome for Mickelson, Garcia, Johnson and the others, and it's totally self-inflicted.

Hooray for the PGA!
