    Precisely what Dustin Johnson did. I think a handful of the other LIV participants turned in their PGA card as well. They just flat out resigned from the PGA.

    The PGA does run the PGA Championship I believe. So they control one of the majors.

    They don't. PGA of America runs the PGA Championship. Different entities.

    I thought they ran the PGA as well but don't, it's very confusing. Tough to blame the guys going on the LIV Tour, more money, less rounds, more time to be with family. Anyone going out to Pumpkin Ridge the end of June for the stop there?

    Most events we work have Media Monday’s. You put your name in a lottery and sometimes you get lucky. I’m not very good at golf, but I’ve hit 150+ on some of the best courses in the world.

    First they brought in a pro Tennis Player, then they bring in a pro football player, then an amateur hockey player. That's how the holocaust... er I mean, Happy Gilmore happens, dog.

    I am mostly joking. I actually like watching when players cross over from other sports, because they are true athletes. That's really why I brought it up. It was a dumb joke, but I'll keep trying.
