Brandel Chamblee and Trump, and 1 Way Slow Play are OK

welcome! Where are you asking? I called this on weekend 9. Think of it as a place to heat you on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We will have ideas. We will have tips. We will have tweets. But overall, although sometimes more, sometimes even less. As for who I am? The following paragraph tells some stories. Michael Bamberger’s fans. Dome golfer. Bad football player. I can get in touch nick.piastowski@golf.com

First, he talks about Charlie Woods. Then he wanted to know Liv. and deal.

We met a few weeks ago at Riverside Park in New York City, and his dog pulled him a little enthusiastically at the other dog before he slipped, I helped him back up, and we started ourselves walks and chats. He is the retired chief legal officer of a bank you’ve ever heard of, and I told him I wrote about golf and I’ll make you decide whose mother should be more proud. Still, he was at least curious about some of the recent headlines.

Charlie? He was speechless in his swing. Liv and Saudi PIF handle PGA Tour? He was fascinated by the rigid people.

Did they not reach a deal?

I said. But they are still negotiating.

What is holding?

Hmm. How much time do you have?

But maybe it’s close to green now. (At this point, it seems that every sport is “close”, the finish line, the red area, and there is a sentence to the family – but no one uses golf. But I digress. Let’s go on. Since this person’s The problem has fallen since. Donald Trump took office, according to New York Timesmet with Yasir al-Rumayyan of Saudi PIF and PGA Tour Commissioners Jay Monahan and PGA Tour Pro Adam Scott. (Trump will likely help the conversation, like we simply say, he is a golf fan.) Then, Lef now shows Lef’s facts in Fox’s channel collection. (This is likely to affect the PGA Tour, which won’t lose more ratings.) Well, Liv’s offseason signing can be considered mild compared to the last few years. (This is likely to affect LIV, which may not mind some PGA Tour crossovers.) The fact is that the U.S. Open, Open Champions and PGA Champions are offering invitations to Liv Pros. (This is likely to affect the PGA Tour as this eliminates the harmfulness of players joining Liv).

However, the real question is what the transaction looks like.

In the short term, Liv will stay because it has contributed to many business transactions. You may also see some openness between trips. But are there more? Rory McIlroy’s comments further mocked the possibility of a world tour, which you guessed would be global like Liv Travel inside and compete like PGA Tour’s signature event series.

McIlroy said: “Yes, maybe by the end of this decade you might see something that it can blend together, but that’s – I mean, it’s so pie in the sky that it can happen Many things.”

Let’s see if we can find eight items in Weekend 9.

2. According to Trump not only talks with the PGA Tour and Saudi PIF Golf Channel Analyst Brandel Chamblee – He also spoke with Chamblee. In response to Thursday’s conference news, Chamblee said he played golf with the president last year, and most of their conversation centered on Charblee, who criticized the source of Liv and Liv-funded Saudi Arabia.

Chamblee says Golf Channel:

“Look, I feel like [the meeting] After the election is inevitable. Last year, I was very happy to play with President Trump. Almost after every hole, when we overturned, he wanted to come over and talk to me about Liv Golf, about Saudi Arabia’s involvement in golf, and he was very forgiving about our differences. He said, look, I know you and I have different opinions on this, but please listen to me. He said, Yasir, meaning the gentleman who runs Liv and is in charge of PIF, and he said Yasir likes golf more than you and likes golf more than I do. It’s hard to believe now, because President Trump has played a lot of golf, and I’m crazy about it, but he’s serious. He was like, “He really likes golf. They have $32 trillion of oil under the sand and they really have to diversify the economy.” He said they were all out and they weren’t going anywhere. As the round progresses, he wants to talk about almost every hole about LIV and Saudi involvement, and he is excited about it.

“Apart from geopolitical issues, of course, I understand why we default and need Saudi Arabia as a partner in the Middle East. My question is about human rights concerns and golf at some point, and I feel like I have to apologize for a certain issue. He Like, just look further into the future. It will be beneficial for Saudi Arabia, it will be beneficial for the PGA Tour, it will be beneficial for the Liv. At the end of the day, do I agree with him? No. But I It must be said that he made a strong point all day, I won’t say it, he said firmly, but he was skeptical on one side like I did. I was happy to listen to him. I thanked the conversation all day. Finally, I would say he did change my mind. I mean, he reminded me of Yasir being a partner in golf competitions, not just looking for financial opportunities through golf games.”

Analyst Paige Mackenzie replied: “I also thought from the beginning that you had a conversation with me two and a half years ago, and I said it would be better to invest the money in golf instead of going to other ones. Place. The idea of ​​Trump being involved is absolutely no surprise. I think we saw Yasir somewhere with Trump between November and December this year. He held a Liv golf game on his own property. He is obviously a follower of the PGA Tour. It’s not surprising that he’s been connected to him as part of this unification. I think it’s good news for every golf fan. This should be celebrated because it’s many Players are talking about what they want. They want solutions, which is the split professional men’s golf landscape.”

Announcer Rich Lerner responded: “A few years ago, Yasir al-Rumayyan said on Hillcrest that Saudis won Jay Monahan. This was confirmed today. And I also added that it will be running for Saudi money.” , that’s the reality we’re in golf competitions. Golf is trapped in a geopolitical whirlpool, but today’s big news.”

Takeaway here? Chamblee himself said: “I would say he did change his mind. I mean, he reminded me of Yasir being a partner in golf competitions, not just looking for financial opportunities through golf games.” Chamblee’s platform may be golf The largest platform on the court and can question “change your mind”. But this is just an opinion. Accept it with its value.

3. One of my favorite readings about Liv Golf is October 2022 from The Zach Helfand New Yorker. (If you haven’t read it yourself, click here.) One of the Nuggets in the story sticks to me in particular, and it’s an interesting idea given the recent conversation about PGA Tour Players is more “entertainable”.

This is part of what Helfand wrote: One broker told me: “…I think Liv is using the WWE model.”

6. This week, I talked about slow games with legendary instructor Pia Nilsson, and there was an article that the Nuggets didn’t make me want to share here.

I asked her if there were moments to think the slow race could, and she said yes. This is something to remember.

“Sometimes sometimes it’s nice to slow down, which are those categories that used to play on t-shirts because – often more women than men – because they’re usually the last hit, everyone is in Running on them. Carts, they are usually the first ones to hit. So much, we have to help them. It’s your turn, you’re allowed to calm down and make a decision because they’re just there completely anxiety.”
