Annalisa113

I love this for all of them

Peter Principle96

Get ready for the Golden Ballroom and LIV Golf Relief Act of 2026.

Shai Hulud 🇺🇸 & 🇳🇬 & 🇮🇳87

MBS has been know to cut people off.

Karmageddon80

FABULOUS! The golfers who jumped ship are like scabs are to unions. FFS, even Tiger Woods didn't go over to LIV. To hell with DeChambeau, Sergio, Mickelson and all the rest. Make them grovel until they retire. I hope Rory McIlroy, who refused to defect to LIV, is thoroughly enjoying this.

Hahahaha! And the LIV Golf was was tied to Trump's golf courses. #ETTD.

Now professional PGA golfers who have chosen to pocket Saudi Arabia (MBS) blood money will have no choice but to crawl back here or retire but make no mistake their legacy will never be the same.

tartan37.bsky.social33

I think I remember the PGA Tour telling you to go and don’t come back. I’m looking for a taco Tuesday for the PGA.

obg99.bsky.social29

Saudis are learning a valuable lesson and I'm there for it. Prince Bonesaw sucks. Everything trump touches dies.

spencerdow.bsky.social25

Dear star players that voted to leave the PGA... Welcome to your F.O. portion of your life.

K. Moore 🦋📚🎼23

Saudi will pull back on spending in other sectors too, wish they would pull out of the Warner Bros merger too.

Bessie the Cow19

More like DED Golf amiright

Diana Smith18

Bahahahahaha I love this for them.

sp-fxx.bsky.social14

Those ship jumpers should not be allowed back in. They went for Money Bags Saudiman’s blood money and totally disregarded the regime’s human rights record.

Pascals Wager14

If the Saudis are reevaluating investments, I’m thinking it won’t be long until they recall their stake in Kushner’s fund that has yet to earn a dime.

Trump is a convicted RAPIST12

Mohammed bin Salman's Bone-Saw Tours will not be missed.

The Resistance CO12

Boo hoo! They took the bone saw money. Hope it’s very painful for these multi millionaires!

thierno10

Ouch... Sucks for those who jumped ship, to follow a shiny object. Not all that glitters is good/ gold. Ha.

Katrine Koenig10

too bad for trump's golf courses

Jay W9

And at what point does Saudi Arabia and the UAE cash in their “investments” into Jared Kushner’s fund Only to discover it was a Ponzi scheme?

Auburn Blake8

I hate that for those sellouts, I mean pro golfers.

Juliet 🏳️‍⚧☭8

Saudis timing on this is a direct result of the US backing UAE's exit from OPEC

doughardy.bsky.social7

“Players face a painful road back” after collecting tens of millions in signing fees. Cry me a river

Hello Sarah 🇲🇽7

Great material for the next Riyadh comedy festival

Larry “I Mostly Just Reply So Read’em” Alberts7

“You can come back to the PGA Tour, if you pay us all the money LIV Golf paid you to be on its tour.”

TRuxMintinBox6

lol. Fuck those greedy assholes.

nukidz13.bsky.social6

None of the Liv golfers should be allowed back until minimum 3yr probationary period and only limited number of tournaments.No majors until end of probationary period.They were greedy and took bloodmoney and flipped the bird to the tour

ChiTownMar6

Best news of the day.

Brad6

Anyone else remember when LIV “spelled the end” for the PGA?

Heron go Bragh6

Wow they just violently sawed them right out of their contracts. Sad.

Nick SomethingGreek5

MBS is kinda known for cutting things off….

cameraman11.bsky.social5

Good Maybe don't accept blood money

Danger Din5

As PGA made clear in the beginning, they will not be welcome back. These hacks jumped for money from a murdering terrorist leader. There should be a lifetime ban from the PGA!

Sane American5

Make the greedy defectors pay a two year suspension before they can get back to the PGA.

cslaterme.bsky.social5

The guys who jumped to LIV for those big paydays should have to at least sit out a couple of seasons, or even not allowed back at all.

Keith Goodall5

PGA should ban all those that jumped ship for the $$$$

Kelly Frady4

Looks like Koepka read the writing on the wall and bailed before this announcement. I wish the PGA hadn't welcomed him back so quickly.

Jim Barrows 🇺🇸4

Will the Golfer-in-Chief now bail out LIV ala Spirit Airlines?

Matthew Budman, book guy4

Wondering whether Trump will take this as a personal slight. He went all-in on LIV.

Elizabeth4

Good. And I hope the PGA tells all those who left for LIV Golf that they can pound sand.

Ken Shaw4

Oh. What a surprise. This was going to happen, so easy to predict. Never was necessary.

lapeemommee.bsky.social4

They made their beds. FAFO

Kerri4

Well ain’t that a shame. I wonder what money laundering grift it was for the Saudis and who benefited on the other end.

Lol. They sold their reputation for money then they lost both their reputation and the money. Nobody deserves it more.

cademc.bsky.social4

Good! Let LIV die! Traitors for $$$, all of them!

Alison4

I bet trump isn’t happy about this.

Bluesky Guy Bunchanumbers3

Now the Tour will cry poor-mouth and try to roll back those increased purses and bonus money

Alan B3

Yeah can't say I'll shed any tears, the top flight guys will be fine but the lower ranks have a real problem

joecorey3rd.bsky.social3

Think how badly Trump wanted LIV to equal merge with PGA. It was a golf ponzi scheme after all. Will Trump golf courses that hosted LIV events be scorned by PGA.

ElleM3

Is this push back to trump? www.golfdigest.com/story/liv-go...

depressivehacks3

Brooks Koepka looks like a fucking genius if this is true.

Joe Thoma IV3

Koepka and Reed look pretty smart at this point. Bryson hinted that he might just do YouTube videos now. But Rahm. That fuckin guy left after he knew what it meant to leave, then didn't take the opportunity to come back when he knew the writing was on the wall. PGA should black ball him forever.

Lavender Blossom 🌸3

Did anyone not see this coming?

blondbomber.bsky.social2

So, what was their goal?

Di2

They all have plenty of money…they can walk the sidewalk of shame. They need to pay a heavy price. No patriots in that group!

jeff stone's TV2

We need to bring back 90's level sellout shaming

alvin-tostig.bsky.social2

So it doesn’t even matter what dechambeau decides to do.

Deadwood CS2

But they all received free bone saws as a parting gift!

HottKarl2

Who would’ve guessed that a blood-money funded golf exhibition group (this was never a competitive event featuring the world’s best) wouldn’t have the backing of most decent people and sponsors? Crazy how decency generally prevails, albeit slowly.

So money can not buy happiness or love (LIV).

NaciFan2

If they were smart with their money, they can retire. If they weren’t, f em as the saying goes.

thehoodedclaw.bsky.social2

I just hope the PGA and DP tours take a hard line. Allow the effected players to to spend more time with their bank balances.

Per2

The road back from being billionaires to simply being millionaires.

isonope.bsky.social2

Saudis suck anyway. No one should take their money. They are a terrorist state

Chris (ctw)2

The Trump family got what they needed tho.

Russ Copeland2

Trump and Saud family ruined golf

Fresh Charlie 🌴🐊🌴2

Who gives a shit??? You know what there are too many of in this world? Golfers!

🏳️‍🌈 SeaRod 🇺🇦14

Well, lie down with dogs get up with fleas.

Truther_Dare6

PGA should tell those losers to kick rocks

José from Portland6

Insert Nelson "HA HA" GIF here. Wait, actually, I will do so:

Terraformer5

wonder if this has anything to do with the sudden (and apparently prolonged) loss of that sweet, sweet oil revenue; then again, the regime has more money than God so who knows

Comrade Nathan (YouTuber)3

Looks like the Saudis are having to make a series of cuts, and happily this time, not into the body of a journalist who's been mildly critical of the regime.

Shane2

Well I hope those golfers banked their blood money because things are about to get real unfun.

Jimmy8

I just hope the PGA doesn't take them back.

ibleedpurple.bsky.social5

Don’t feel sorry for those golfers- they are sellouts- and shouldn’t be allowed back on the PGA.

Nick SomethingGreek3

’Cutting things off’ is kinda what MBS is known for….

Howard Roark3

So Rory McIlrory was proven correct

Bookhisattva2

Looks like Saudi billions will buy you bonesaws and murder but not golf leagues or an iota of credibility. What a colossal failure.

Booster Grey6

Oh! Oh! I have a perfect gif for this!

Mr Mabs3

L M A O O O O O O O O so their last resort is to beg trump for help and after that fails??? SEE YA 😭

Steve 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🐻💚🍉2

They're getting rid of sportswashing? About time!
