Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and a few other players who decided to take the money and golf on the LIV tour are now reportedly suing the PGA about having their memberships revoked.
What is the basis for their lawsuit? " the [PGA] Tour has ventured to harm the careers and livelihoods of any golfers, including (list of names) who have the temerity to defy the Tour and play in tournaments sponsored by the new entrant."
Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau lead group of 11 LIV Golf rebels to sue the PGA Tour and challenge their suspensions as the defectors claim their 'careers and livelihoods have been threatened'
So, their livelihood has been threatened by how much?
Mickelson was guaranteed $200 million. He's currently made more in 2022 than Lionel Messi.
DeChambeau has been signed for around $150 million or so.
Dustin Johnson? $125 million. (He's not one of the guys suing the PGA, by the way.)
"Threatens their livelihood" my ass.
What a bunch of overpaid egotistical jerks.
Now, I think it's crazy to win a couple million for winning a PGA tournament, but at least the winners have to make an effort.
And everybody that plays in any LIV golf tournament is guaranteed a minimum payout in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So go get stuffed, jerks. I hope you lose and lose big.
