Golf’s moral maze
The question : does it matter who pays me obscene amounts of dollars for spoiling a afternoon’s walk
The answer : I’ll ask the millions of hypocrites who’ll be paying millions of dollars to watch me doing it on there less than ethically made Chinese tv’s

They are paying Dustin Johnson $115 million dollars just for turning up and playing. Don`t know what the others are on. That`s 8 tournaments, 3 rounds per tournament instead of 4. They were willing to pay Woods nearly a Billion dollars if the rumours are true. All shot gun starts, so all players start and finish at the same time making it good for TV. A shot gun start is where all players start at different holes on the course at the same time. I doubt anyone would turn that money down if offered. I would like to know what the implications are for the Open, as the USPGA have told players they will not keep their cards if they go to the LIV tour. Interesting times, looks like 3 more yanks are joining the circus.

Don't see the moral quandry at all tbh, straightforward taking money from the devil When you look at the millions and millions these golfers already have it's pure greed They already have enough money to keep their descendants rich for generations.

Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas have both turned it down, though obviously we'll have to wait and see what develops as far as they're concerned. Sadly it's the way all sport seems to be going with FIFA handing the World Cup to Qatar right up there with morally bankrupt decisions. I do get a little tired of people comparing situations like this and saying that anyone would double/triple their wages given the opportunity. Yeah, if you're earning twenty, thirty or forty grand a year you would, but the like of Poulter and Johnson are millionaires many, many times over. Just how much money do these bastards need? I hope that they're all excluded from the majors. Not that they'll be bothered, but the Open this year is at St Andrew's, the Home of Golf and is the 150th tournament. Itd be nice not to have these charlatans involved.

If Mickelson had said "Actually it's about the money - tons of it - and as we execute people in the US and are also steadily eroding women's rights I don't think we can be any moral compass so pick your bastards" then I guess fair dinkum. But he didn't - he started burbling on about it being 'a force for good' or some such nonsense - and that's pure bollocks which he knows he doesn't believe nor does he really expect anyone else to..

The Qatar money for the World Cup doesn’t bother me as much as giving it to a non football nation to play when ever it suits their weather.

Oh it bothers me alright but apart from not watching it, which is in itelf futile, I'm not sure what I can do. Back to the golf though, I do wonder if Mickelson were to say 'Of my $200m I'll pay $50m to a caddy - no experience required, just carry my bags for a year - all expenses paid' how many applicants he would get and how many of them would be morally compromised.

Every area will have professionals and competitions, clubs that should be well run and at the top level, adding new countries to different tours. This has just shat on all that by trying to bully their way in on their terms. I would feel sorry for new tour venues in newer nations who have worked so hard for years to get featured. Unlike many sports, having a course featured actually means something and will generate ongoing interest and revenue.

You could say American capitalism that funds the PGA Tour is synonymous with their foreign policy, school shootings, race problems etc. It’s the opting for greed over the prestige of the traditional tour that irks. I suppose people like Poulter and Westwood have to look beyond that at this point in their careers but DJ has made an appalling decision really.

For every player like DJ you’ve got a McIlroy who just wants to win another major (hopefully he won’t make me eat my words there).

Watching Mickelson tie himself up in knots yesterday was just ridiculous.
And then Westwood*, well I mean this was just over a year ago.
*He still can't putt.

looks like Mickleson is being paid $200 million to take part, staggering money. Also look`s like they will all be able to play in the Open and US open. Not sure what receptions those players are likely to get, especially in the states.
