  1. Most of the journalists at abc put Saudi gas in their car and watch Disney plus was Saudi own share in And other company give it rest abc to be fair jay is piece of sh…t for use it the 911 family to line he’s own pockets

  2. Glad to see capitalism working.

  3. Jay “Moneyhand” obviously got his palms greased with Saudi oil (blood?) money!💰

  4. Everyone has a price, even ABC NEWS if we wanted.

  5. The saudis were involved in 9/11 wheres your morals PGA, shame on america where money matters much more than morals youre as bad as trump

  6. Shame Shame Shame!!!!!

  7. Won’t be watching any more pga! Peace!

  8. Get over yourselves…if you're going to be mad at someone, be mad at your government who never turned their back on the Saudi's after 911

  9. Golf is for a certain breed of pedophiles, 40 thru 70 yr Olds with matching pants , spike shoes and ball gags, playing with tiny balls quietly…. all in the hips happy. Send the ball back to its home. Tiger is tubs and why not merge with the Saudi Arabians ? Are they scared of more competitors of the same corruption. The answer lays on the green brah, just except it and breathe out. And if you a chicken head let your knees out

  10. Money money money money…money!

  11. PGA bows to money… no different from any greedy execs…

  12. LIV golfers and anyone for this merger is a trader. Done with PGA. Greed, greed, greed!!!

  13. US companies do 10s of billions of dollars of business with the Saudis. If you put gas in your car, you do business with the Saudis. The PGA has been taking advantage of its players for years. That's why players defected. Well, that and money. But hey, we are a Capitalist country. If morality was a factor in any of this, we, as a nation, wouldn't be doing business with most of the world.

  14. R.I.P, PGA (a two-line poem)

    The royal Saudis' Arabian/Trojan horse
    is pulled by the PGA onto the course.

  15. America is going to have to get used to this, USA IS BROKE, in serious debt and generally weak in the world's eyes. USA concentrates on Pride and Racism while the rest of the world concentrates on productivity and education. Just returned from NYC, all new penthouses are being bought by Chinses. The fall is coming.

  16. I purposely avoided watching the other golf programming and only watched PGA, I guess I'll switch to bowling. So disappointed.
