Saudi International and The Shark

Putterho

This second go around actually has me intrigued now that named players have requested permission. I'm just curious what everyone's elses thoughts were. The names DJ, Ancer, Na, Westwood, Fleetwood, GMac, and Stenson coming out make me wonder. I for one love a good dumpster fire to spice things up.

Gotta be able to cash in on your name if you can. I don't blame anyone for taking the checks that are being written. They're professional athletes, and get paid to perform.

$30-$50million for a 3 year stint is eye opening just to show up if I read that correctly.

Wouldn’t watch for Westwood, Fleetwood, Stenson, GMac, Ancer or Na. Gonna have to do better than a bunched of aged off and B list players if it is going to work. Harsh but my opinion.

Jaybananapantsarthur I agree with this but I feel like the European people would be all for this....

Jaybananapantsarthur Very true for me, I don't watch the PGA Tour aside from a little bit of the Majors. This new tour wouldn't garner any attention for me unless it is broadcasted on the late night and I am looking for a sleep aid.

Moni_SLO so that they are no longer forced to watch golf played off the side of a mountain in rural Zeitzburg?

The NLU boys had a good discussion about this on the CJ Cup recap episode I think it was. Also looks like the Saudis have gotten in touch with some good links courses (in Scotland and Ireland) which I would love to see big tournaments at.

iennis I'll have to find that podcast. I think I just like dumpster fires in the making!

Trying to grab cash in the “off-season”, who can blame them? Those numbers are commanding.
