Is Smith one of the Saudi twats or is he a good guy?
Apparently hasn't ruled out being a twat. Seems he is a friend of Norman.

Then there's the mullet.

Did very well yesterday though, if you shoot 8 under in the final round of The Open you deserve the Claret Jug.

Name calling aside, I think when the Ryder Cup captain and the newest winner of the Open look like they are heading to LIV, it's time to start paying attention.  The PGA/DP need to get to the negotiating table......this isn't going away.

Well, no. Just ban them. Should we have negotiated with the Super League wanks?

But that never happened, so it wasn't necessary.   This is happening and it isn't going away......

It won't go away until they discuss co-existing. The Saudi's are up for working around the other tours and players can then pick and choose.

Super League would have happened if there hadn't been mass opposition.  How do you compromise with Saudi Arabia, make them promise to only kill a few gay people?

A good guy CD, but Henrik Stenson is no longer a good guy, will be joining the Saudi tour and as a result of that will be stripped of the Ryder Cup captaincy.

Now confirmed removed as Europe's captain, so Henrik, what you're saying is receiving money from an evil regime means more to you than the Ryder Cup captaincy.

Proved himself to be completely classless and without morals - when taking that job he commits to a 2 year cycle….to throw it away for blood money proves he wasn’t worthy of the role in the first place.

Let them have their golf tournaments if they agree not to invest any more money in Newcastle?

Put the regime stuff aside for a minute as I think there are a few moral high-horses being ridden here......why shouldn't LIV players be in the Ryder Cup?  It's a contest between the best golfers in the US and Europe.  If they happen to be on a different tour, who cares?

The problem is that they can't be separated, if it wasn't for the regime and it's actions this would be an internal spat within the sport but when you have the 9/11 group picketing one of the participants it moves way beyond sport and that's why it is so emotive. There will be compromise and there will be some sort of agreement but it has a nasty stink whichever way you look at it.

That's why I said to put it aside.  I'm asking why the PGA (who apparently run the Ryder Cup) wouldn't want the best players involved?  They allow DP tour players to play, this is just another tour to them.

Luke Donald named Ryder Cup captain replacing Stenson.

Why would you put the regime stuff aside? They have chosen money ahead of prestige. Fuck them.
