Yep, 100%

In this world where people think Lamar Jackson is being "disrespected" by the Ravens because they're going to put the franchise tag on him and ONLY pay him $45 million next year, the puny numbers being thrown around in this discussion are cute.

For sure given the fact that the average annual income in this country is in the 50K range.

We all make a choice in how we go about trying to eke out a living.

And again the question is why do golfers not deserve guaranteed money? All other professionals want it but we draw the line with golfers?

I could give two shits about whether the support comes from China or Saudi Arabia, and make no judgement about athletes accepting funds from either place. I understand the motivation for golfers to go to LIV, but am sad because it makes golf tournaments far less enjoyable (for me, and others apparently) to watch or attend. However unlike you, I don't see conspiracies behind someone asking a legitimate question. I feel sorry for you.

My god man, no one is saying they don't. They made the choice to go down this path and NO ONE feels sorry for them. They make a crap ton of money. The ones that don't make it become Head Pro's or get into insurance or god forbid have to work just like the rest of us.

From the "casual fan" perspective (someone who watches/pays attention to the majors and would check out how Kokrak was doing in other events), I think it makes the whole thing 100% more enjoyable. Frankly, few things are more boring than golf and particularly golfers themselves. This spices things up. Reed throwing a tee at Rory? Hell yeah! More of that please!

And Reed is a complete prick. At least this whole thing has made them somewhat interesting.
