I don't disagree with anything you said, but most players are doing it for the money before the fame. There's not that many Rorys or Tigers out there, and for everyone else, when there is enough money on the line you'll take that over any small chance at Prestige. As long as LIV will throw massive amounts of cash at players, the PGA has a huge problem long term.

Is that really true though? They're all making more money than they were on the Tour, so I'm not sure how much they care.

As fans, we need the PGA tour bc it's better golf, but as long as LIV keeps poaching players (even mediocre ones) for more money, things will continue to get worse.

What makes an earthquake 'preliminary'? Is there another one coming?
