I can’t take the PGA Tour serious. Just a bunch of stuck up snobs. Every time I see Rory, I puke.

Why isn't TGL an unauthorized event?

@PGATOUR

@PGATOUR coming up with arbitrary rules on the fly. Free Wes! @bryanbrosgolf

Did the PGA Tour do anything for Wes? Health Insurance? Profit sharing? Vacation or sick time? Was he given a job with them or did he have to qualify to be in the fields? He is an Independent Contractor. It seems silly to me that they can take his membership like that.

Two morons pretending to be golf podcasters.

Absolutely the correct take on this whole thing.

Wesley was told what would happen if he played and he still played

No he was just an idiot. They both got paid by Liv. Same thing.

The unspoken reality is that the PGA tour is more intimidated with the entertainment factor of YouTube golf than they are with LIV. They’d rather see YouTube golf done away with more than they would LIV golf league.

I can see the difference legally, but it’s unbelievably stupid.

We can all just be honest here. The PGA screwed up. They look stupid. Is it going to kill them? No. Will it impact viewing? No. But what the PGA did was dumb and set a horrible precedent whereby they can create rules out of thin air to treat different players differently

So active participation in marketing of a “recently rival” tour is cool? I’m firing my Chipotle employee if they post a TikTok eating burrito from Qdoba.. pretty simple stuff

@bryanbrosgolf Free Wesley!

He won the masters though.

Or is it. Both Reed And Brooks are better players. I get it “Bryan Bros can Wesley make the cut” (only to miss it yet again) would be ok but that’s played out

No one cares

Rappaport has the most annoying face on the internet

You’re speaking entirely too logical. Common sense is no longer valid.

I think the dude should worry about YouTube. He’s clearly better at that than he ever was on the tour. And I don’t give a shit about his Harbor Town win that is the week after the Masters and the field at the time was so weak.

if you are equally comparing Reed and Bryan than you dont know enough.

It’s silly he’s suspended but it would be sweet if we held grown men accountable again. I know it creates a permission structure whe the most powerful man on earth cries about being treated unfairly daily, but the rules were clear. I mean dudes should grow the fuck up

I see where you are coming from but. Reed wasn’t a member at the time and Wesley was a member was told of the consequences and did it anyway.

#freewesley

The "tour" doesn't like rebels, but I do, thanks Wesley!

@bryanbrosgolf As a PGA tour member, you simply cannot attend or participate in an unauthorized rival event, exhibition, or promote LIV branding(which was everywhere) w/o prior approval from the PGA tour board which they would never have done.

So many rules not sure how the legal team in Ponte Vedra keeps track. Koepka didn’t submit a formal resignation letter to the PGA Tour before joining LIV — but by not renewing his PGA Tour membership and committing to LIV, he effectively relinquished his status in 2022. 

Hey Rap, I will admit that i didn't feel you were accurately describing what was going on with the @wesleybryangolf situation. Kudos, for explaining and agreeing with the Masses he shouldn't be suspended for this long. #FreeWesley

Free @wesleybryangolf @PGATOUR @PGA

I guess when the brand is the players it makes sense but otherwise it’s pretty dumb
