Masters Weekend
- Thread starter GregInPitt
- Start date
LIV, PGA, XYZ who cares. The best over 4 days will win. I couldn't care less what league they are associated with.
LIV is Saudi backed money - no thanks - plain and simple
Why don't they just build their own Augusta in the desert some where over there?
I like to watch the world’s best play golf. It is not my concern what one does for the betterment of themselves and their family’s situation. Life is too short…
I don't believe LIV is putting any money into the Masters purse. It's about putting all the best golfers on a course and letting the balls fly, nothing more.
Yes, what you're saying sounds great on paper but Sept 11, 2001 is still fresh in my mind. I choose who I support and root for based on their actions and morality. No way in hell I'd ever root for "bettering the game of golf" Mickelson. He's as phony as they come (so is Woods)
No, LIV golf isn't throwing money into the Master - just a ton of money into a few greedy players' pockets. No way will I ever back anything associated with anything Saudi
Shocked no one posted this. The iconic 13th hold has been lengthened by 30 yards. They bought the 9th fairway from the Augusta Country Club…..a completely different organization. Rumor is they paid $25 million for one fairway and had the additional expense of rebuilding the 13th.

The extended 13th promises to restore Jones and MacKenzie’s vision of a risk-and-reward masterpiece
Thirty-five yards has been added to the legendary par five. M James Ward tells the story of a hole that is one of the more famous in all of golf

My brother was a member at Oakmont when they were reshaping the course back to links by removing most of the trees. One day you could play a round with the trees. Then play the next day and some trees were "gone". Impeccabe grass or whatever where the trees were the day before, as if the trees had been gone for 25 years. Just like the trees that fell yesterday at Augusta. Here today, gone by morning......
$25 mil, plus expenses, for less than ten acres seems a tad high. Just to add 30 yards or so.
They consulted the BOT for some tips
Oakmont, and Augusta, have no trouble meeting expenses to do whatever is necessary.
When there is a major expenditure that seems out of the ordinary to ordinary people, they discuss it and then one of their members usually just steps up and pays for it.
Like when the PGA had concerns that the bridge over the PA turnpike was too restictive during U.S. Open's. They quickly plan for a 2nd bridge, and a member or members just steps up and write check(s). I doubt that they advertise how they pay for it, or who really wrote the check, but that's how it usually works.
$25 million isn't much to a good many of the members at Augusta. Pretty simple.
I feel bad for the fans, especially from up north, that had Saturday tickets as their only ticket hoping for a nice Southern April day amongst the azaleas and Georgia pines and got cold and rainy conditions.
Hmmm. That means Ford, GM, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Domino's Starbucks, Snap, Pepsi, Facebook, Caterpillar, J.P. Morgan, Citibank, Morgan Stanley and the list goes on and on. I understand the criticism of the golfers because it was a pure money play, but so many U.S. Companies make that same decision daily, making it difficult to scrutinize.
Might want to do your homework on who backs what. You will probably find a lot of things backed by Saudi and China Money.
What are the chances that Rahm falls back and he and Mickleson end up in a playoff? How crazy will the announcers go?
