Who is Brent Muburger? I think I had a Muburger yesterday at the Olympus Burger, but I could be mistaken.

Re: LIV
I always wanted to write something intelligent in my signature. Now that I think about it, I guess I just did!

Re: LIV
I thought I had changed it before I posted...but then I got confused about the spelling...
It also said that I was the only member on the board so I thought that nobody would notice!
Anyway i meant Jim...and Toronto is never as cold as Buffalo...especially this time of year...

Re: LIV
This merger must be one complicated piece of work, it will be interesting to learn all the details. Presumably things like OWGR points are included, as well as majors eligibility, and what about dual membership? Will LIV members get back their PGA membership? Can PGA members now also become LIV members? I just saw the news a few minutes ago (UTC+8 here), and it's a shocker. They must have been secretly working on this for months, and very little of the nitty-gritty has been posted yet. This is the link to pgatour.com: https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/la ... d-tour-pif and that doesn't tell us much more than the fact there is a merger. I did note Monahan talked twice about "having control", so it will be interesting to see exactly what the merger entails. Interestingly, this site has nothing about the merger yet: https://www.livgolf.com/news
I just read more on Foxnews, apparently even the players were not informed a merger was being planned, not even the players on the PGA committee, and the PGA players are not happy, calling Monahan a hypocrite to his face after he called money from Saudi Arabia "blood money" and swearing the PGA would never merge with LIV. Could be a rough year for Monahan.

Re: LIV
Oh yes, the Centre Of The Hockey Universe ;) I can only surmise Monahan must be grinding his teeth right now. His lawyers have advised him to do this or things will get much, much worse; not only with current PGA players possibly moving to LIV, but possibly losing the PGA's future stars currently on college teams. That very successful tournament in Australia must have sent shockwaves through the PGA's upper echelon, and now, like everything else, it's all about the money, even if it's "blood money". I downloaded McIroy's little speech earlier today, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet; should be entertaining to hear his spin on recent events.
