I just gave you a potential reason.

Grant is a non status person that signed no contract with liv. Are there examples of any other people without a contract with liv without status who were suspended?

Canter and Piot both had contracts

Bo Hoag has Tour status. Bo Hoag played in the LIV Promotions event, an event held by LIV golf with a purse. Bo Hoag was not suspended

250k was the entire purse. I think George got 150k for winning. Wesley finished I believe 4th

He would be an average player on LIV. He should take it if they offer him.

He’s not going to take a deal that requires him to spend that much time overseas. He has like 3 young kids. He likes making his own schedule. He’s said as much and is a big reason why he’s out more energy into YouTube than getting back full status on tour

Right, he should have been suspended. He wasn’t. So as I said originally, the Tour is not following and kind of policy

Piot is suspended for a year, Horvat gets a sponsors invite. Laurie Canter played LIV and got his Tour card through the DP world tour and played the Players, multiple guys played LIV Q School and didn’t get suspended. The Tour has been all over the place with their “policy.” And it seems hinges on some subjective thought of someone, some people, inside the Tour whether you’re a “real pro” or not. And upon further thought, Wesley was on Phil’s YouTube channel, which is seemingly, at least in part, owned by LIV so why wasn’t he already suspended? Again, I get it, he played in an event with a purse provided by LIV, but the enforcement process has just been all over the place. If I was a lawyer for any of these players, especially ones like Turk petite or James Piot or where suspended with no status, I’d be having wet dreams about this shite

Yep to everything you said

What status does Bo Hoag currently have that makes him comparable to Bryan?

But very much a parallel to Wesley. Why did Wesley get suspended but not Hoag?

I think it’s pretty clear the Tour picks and chooses when to implement their policy. There’s no consistency

I guess I get both sides.

But I mean heavily in the “no shite they had to suspend Bryan and he shouldn’t be upset and it’s not a big deal that they invited Grant to play an event” direction.

lean

The PGA reminds me of stores like Macy’s, Toys R Us, and even JCP and Sears that refused to recognize the future of online shopping. They’re either dead or barely hanging on. The PGA is ran by a bunch of old farts who are bound by tradition. They are small minded and lack the innovation needed to drive the game forward. Tiger saved the PGA tour for years, and Rory is helping it bounce back this year. However, I still think it lacks true leadership that will grow the game long term.

PGA is doing great. At the end of the day, it’s still golf. LIV’s product is horrible and people have chosen the PGA by a wide margin.

Pride left the chats after getting schooled. Hate to see that, but glad to help him learn something. He’ll never admit it, be he got more educated yesterday.

You’re welcome Pride. Have a great holiday weekend!

I feel bad for Edge and Dean Ambrose now that AEW is going to “minor league” venues like UNO
