Takeaways

The absence of LIV players in the President's Cup is not a reflection of the PGA Tour's obligation to select them.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy participating in an event with Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau could have significant implications for the PGA Tour.

SSG and the PIF are influential entities that are shaping the future of professional golf.

The potential coexistence of the DP World Tour and the International Series could create new opportunities and dynamics in the sport.

The PGA Tour may need to reconsider its approach and adapt to the changing landscape of professional golf. The PGA Tour is likely to undergo changes, including a decrease in the number of events and a more profitable business model.

Sponsors play a significant role in the success of the PGA Tour, and some lesser-known sponsors may not have the same impact as more established brands.

The individual championship is highly anticipated, and predictions are made on the potential winners.

The LIV Golf League may not retain all players in the open zone, and some may be replaced by new signings.

The conversation ends with a lighthearted discussion about the potential names for a Japanese team in the LIV Golf League.

Sound Bites

"The PGA Tour has been checkmated by the old enemies Bryson and Brooks."

"The PGA tour footprint is going to decrease because it's been a bloated product for a very long, long time."

"Who's going to win Bryson and Brooks or Scottie and Rory?"

"Before we know it, Jon Rahm's gonna be at four majors won."
