Just saw a report that says Rickie Fowler has joined Phil

Just as you said, Fowler has been on a downhill slide recently. IMHO, trying to be relevant again.
DJ is probably the only one joining LIV who is not approaching being a "has been", and DJ is just a money grabber.

Another holier than thou comment on the internet. Like you wouldn’t pack your bags and head to Saudi if they offered you $100M TO PLAY GOLF.

Really? I say that good for these players. It's called free enterprise or capitalism at it's best. Judging others is a pretentious way to make ourselves feel better. Hold on to your panties Alice, because these same Saudis are about to cut a deal with the US for oil/gas in exchange for some protection. But if you wish you could protest and keep paying 5 bucks a gallon just to prove a point???

so incredibly dense, light bends around him.
(Like a Black Hole. Now THAT is some major level stoopit right there!)
But, he is laughing all the way to the bank. Why have to work hard on the PGA Tour to win a few measly million dollars, when the Saudis have backed up to his car with a WHEELBARROW full of tainted money, just to show up?

The USGA had a chance to stand for something and instead said that all these miscreants can still play in the Open. It will be interesting to see how the Boston fans treat DJ.

Rickie hasn’t pulled the trigger yet and is keeping his options open:
“It's unclear what Fowler's timetable for joining LIV Golf might be. The field for the first event in London is already set, so if he decides to leave the PGA Tour, he probably wouldn't make the switch until the second LIV Golf event. That will take place in Portland, Ore. from June 30 to July 2.”

Nobody cares... the only thing Fowler is known for nowadays is his

orange outfit... is he even ranked in the Top 100 any more? I doubt it. Mickelson knows he ain't getting any more green jackets, hoisting the Claret Jug, etc. There's too many great young golfers in the PGA. They'll be happy just cashing checks and playing in tournaments nobody cares about...

Fowler’s wife is super hot which could explain how his game has fallen.

Mickelson as late signup for the Saudi backed LIV golf tourney that starts Thursday. Fowler had been struggling on the PGA Tour in recent times, but his entry into this thing still shocks me. The guaranteed money was just too much to pass up, I guess.
Has a monopoly on the top tier of competition. They’ve reacted by not growing player compensation at the rates their revenue as grown.
This will shake up the PGA, and it should.

Especially if I was past my prime, I would sign up for the LIV tour and fast. Guaranteed big money. And for some stars, more money in a year than all the big purses they’ve earned in a lifetime. Capitalism at work.
I don’t buy the murderous regime smear talk from the PGA marketers. 1) What do we know about Khashoggi? Was he a spy and traitor? 2) Isn’t Biden heading to Saudi this month to beg for petro? As well as the murderous commie Venezuela regime? 3) Aren’t Americans still buying Russian petro used to fund the murder Ukrainian civilians? 4) The NBA and Nike angle has been beat pretty well - but 10 yr olds working 16 hrs per day for $10 a week sounds a little extreme. But how many are wearing Nike’s or any Chinese built sneaker? Etc. Etc. But the PGA and woke news is going to hold pro golfers responsible for Khashoggi’s death sentence? That sounds off base to me.
