I don't want the LPGA or LET to "partner" or be swallowed up by LIV. I have more empathy with the women accepting the "blood money" than the men (because they are already extremely highly paid {James Hahn}). I am concerned that the integrity of the professional golf game will be destroyed; 54 hole tournaments, people like Trump using the tournaments for their own gain.

Hoping they (and I know they won't) will do better than the PGA, R&A, LPGA and LET:

- more dollars to charities

- more distribution to the minor leagues and amateurs

Expecting them to pay the best golfers a TON OF MONEY and leave everyone else by the roadside.

I watch the LPGA & LET because they play interesting courses and can relate better to how they play than a Dustin Johnson or Rory.

BUT..the GAME of golf, is NOT the PRO GAME, the game of golf is when I am playing with my wife, my friends or paired up with people who I've never met before and we are playing golf and enjoying ourselves.
