I knew it would be a lot, but even this seems like way too much. Might as well just sign up for Hulu live or something for that much money.

Arlo White, lead commentator for the EPL in America was criticized back in November because he basically glossed over the human rights abuses of Newcastle's new owners, the PIF aka Saudi Arabia. https://twitter.com/arlowhite/status/1449812040227475462?s=20&t=OkFiw_16lKFTum0U9GKVFg https://twitter.com/arlowhite/status/1449819754584281102 He recently left the EPL and has a new job commentating on the new LIV Golf series, funded by........ PIF. https://twitter.com/JoshACarpenter/status/1533771546765975553?s=20&t=P_Riyx7Te3zVMoQIysCnVg Another entry into the "believe people when they tell you who they are" pile.

https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/john-sterling-significantly-cuts-back-on-yankees-games-for-second-half/quote:And White, not surprisingly, will be paid very handsomely, according to sources. We do not have exact figures, but White has gone from making hundreds of thousands per year to millions in the move, according to sources. And we are told besides the eight-to-ten events for LIV, White is still allowed to add a soccer component to his duties.

I feel like this golf tour is going to fall flat on its face and a bunch of these golfers are going to be stuck not getting paid and hoping the PGA Tour will let them back. Just don't see how any of their spending is sustainable or how the average golf fan would give a poo poo.

Its sustainable because the Saudis have $infinite

Yeah this tour doesn’t need to make money, the Saudis just need to white wash their endless stream of cash. Sports are a pretty easy way of doing that. Hence the golf tour and purchasing Newcastle United.

This is just like the World Cup in Qatar making money is not its primary function, it'd be nice if it did but it in no way has to. But I'm wondering whose gonna broadcast this. I'm guessing the PGA went to its broadcasting partners and said Do not broadcast this or else. I don't know who would rock the boat enough to do it.

This tour isn't even on TV from what I can tell and the audience they'll get from whatever bottom of the barrell cable network will be abysmal. I understand their other moves into sports, but what's the point of this if no one watches?

The audience for PGA tour content/advertising probably punches above its size in terms of business and political influence, and as was said, the juxtaposition of the Saudi "brand" with the PGA and other "respectable" sporting institutions is the primary benefit.

Yeah the Golf Channel gets tiny ratings but the audience is rich as gently caress so it stays on the air with a lot of NBC muscle behind it.

I think most advertisers will avoid this. Only so much money can be made from MyPillow ads and gold buying opportunities. If it's to give them a "respectable" sporting institution, so be it. I just feel like this is going to be a massive flop that no one even talks about in a couple of years. The tour will be dead within a few years.

It’s amazing that the PGA Tour just has to do nothing and look better by comparison, too. Not to confuse that with them being the good guys at any stretch.
