Masters Golf Tournament - an LIV event

I sat down to watch the Masters Golf Tournament but just ended up turning it off. The Augusta National Golf Event, while a worldwide event, always instilled patriotic pride in me that our country would host such a great event with total class. Now, watching a bunch of money-grubbing sellouts to Saudi Arabia playing the course just makes me sick. This used to be all PGA players. Now, who the hell knows what country these dudes are loyal to.

1. Most professional golfers are conservative

Their focus is on the money. Golf is a great sport but it’s hardly patriotic.

3. Focus is always on money

But they have made it so obvious that it has cheapened the entire experience and they have brought a brutal dictatorship in the forefront. That kills it for me.

4. I've given up on pro sports

The owners have too much money.

The players make too much money.

The advertisers spend too much money.

It’s all so gross.

I’m happy to play golf at public courses. I’m happy to play catch. I’m happy to go sailing.

ESPN? No, thanks.

5. The Masters is not regulated by the PGA

it is by invitation. There were 17 bone saw players invited and most of them aren't playing that well.

I am watching because I want to see Jon Rahm or the amateur kid kick Bone saw's Bruce Koepka's ass.

Bone Saw Phil Mickelson also mouthed off that he is going to kick butt, I want to see how well he plays in the pouring rain. Fuck you Phil.
