Episode description
The PGA Tour is adapting to the emergence of LIV, the new Saudi backed golf tour with a multi-billion-dollar bank account. As several prominent players defect from the PGA Tour for apparently greener pastures, Mesh and Paul explain the PGA Tour’s response thus far, the economics of the modern golf-industry in the U.S., and the legal framework which may be applied to the PGA Tour’s decision to suspend prominent players who join a competitive league. Can the leagues ultimately share resources and talent in a way that benefits the game of golf? Or will tensions continue to rise?
