Jay is a former CEO of Fenway sports and hence he is in tight with this new SSG consortium and they have obviously batted for him to stay as the CEO. The players I don't think have the power that some think.

From all reports, which is admittedly journo scuttlebutt, the big thing holding up a PIF/PGAT deal is a certain player group(call it the Woods/Spieth/Cantlay bloc) that does do not want a more "global" tour.
So it would appear the players have a fair amount of power.

BTW Jay should have lost his job for refusing to meet with that private equity group before LIV started.
I agree he should not be there, the players could of sacked him though and didn't.
I think they also want to make it hard for the LIV players to be able to play PGA tour events. Still don't get why they are upset, they chose not to take the money. That was their decision, it doesn't give you any more rights now though.
And they don't have to play outside of America, they can choose to play just in America. Up to them isn't it.

Think the bad blood is pretty understandable given what went down with lawsuits, etc. - but LIV did end up making all the players richer.
Note that Rory is the one recommending the pragmatic approach of letting bygones be bygones.
Yes Rory is but it's only because he knows there is no stopping the money and he wants to make sure he gets his share.
Chamblee has changed his tune now also, protecting his job of course.

If Rory wanted dough he would go to LIV. Good imagining though.

Could it be that some of the pga tour players don’t want the liv golfers back playing as they think in their minds it is going to be easier to win a tournament without the liv guys playing

Better to have an asterisk next to a win than no win at all!
Rory gets plenty. Might get some more this week. In good form so he is a strong chance.
Is a major though and he has struggled a bit for a while now.
To good a player to not get a few more though.

Nah, the LIV hackers are all pretty average. Not hard to beat them.

If those three are in contention on the weekend it will be awesome. Shame it sounds like the course is going to be long but very soft.

Agree, what a championship that would be. Rarely happens though the favourites all play well.

Rory and his partner have filed for divorce.

Reads like it was just Rory doing the filing. Wants his pre-nup enforced. Not sure if that sounds like the start of an amicable split…
So in the midst of the policy board ructions and a marriage split Rory pulled out some serious golf last week. He can compartmentalise.
