I'm not entirely sure, but I can tell you that it's a huge f***ing mistake if they opt for this in lieu of aligning with the PIF/Saudis. Players will continue to trickle to the greener pastures of LIV Golf, subsequently leading to an even more diluted talent pool on the PGA Tour. $3B is absolute peanuts compared to the funding that LIV has access to, and it could be the PGA's money too if they'd quit f***ing around and join forces with LIV to create a worldwide tour already.
This site still doesn't really work on mobile for me. It's not quite as device-killing as it was before, but the website still freezes and ends system processes on my phone, forcing app closures and restarts. This is the only website I use that gives me this issue.
If it's financially viable, can we get rid of the remaining ads and set up a Patreon for funding?
What about the idea of setting up a Patreon page for BJMB if people want to donate a few bucks per month, periodically, or as a one-off? If it means never seeing ads on here again, making mobile access a possibility, and keeping the lights on in this place, I'm sure there'd be some interest from the crowd.
Just a thought.
Or how about allowing for browsing on mobile devices at all. My phone glitches out hard af, freezes, and basically shuts down or closes everything, including system processes. Only when using this site. This has happened with two different phones now.
I just really can't fathom how it is that you saw this signing and thought it was somehow good or noteworthy in any way, shape, or form. Just look at that Fangraphs profile. Like, 100 Chad Wallachs sign every offseason.
LIV is honestly not bad to watch, imo. Honestly, if they changed each event to 4 rounds with cuts, I'd probably watch most tournaments.
PGA would be wise to take the deal with LIV to the finish line in order to hopefully stop the poaching. Got to work together or the fracturing of the sport will only get worse.
My current tier list for sports leagues that I watch at least a little bit:
S Tier: PGA
A Tier: MLB, NHL
B Tier: NCAAB
C Tier: ATP, WTA, F1
D Tier: NFL, DP World Tour
E Tier: LPGA, NBA, NCAAF, LIV
