    Matt Jones could go on a tear.

    We can still have Jed Morgan, he’s not a tour member yet so he can’t be banned.

    Thats the first thing i thought of too, the PGA tour probably his no way to block anyone from becoming a member if they play the LIV. There is lots in this list that havent played PGATour yet.

    Spot on, their rules cover members.

    Not just the PGA Tour, I don’t think his DP World Tour card has kicked in either.

    It's fantastic. It's the first move of the tour golf needle since Tiger's win at Augusta.

    Nope, I saw it. It definitely moved my needle.

    Not as much as this new league is though.

    Guaranteed starts for huge prizemoney in their first events. Beats slugging it out on minor tours, sleeping in the car or getting by on sponsors exemptions

    They can just play and get paid the money, thus losing their amatuer status.

    They can be paid on the basis of appearance and likeness without risking their status. Same for college athletes now.
    Forum needs more banter.

    Great opportunity for the woke activists to selectively pontificate about how much money a person should be permitted to earn.
