Golf?
Saudi Arabia funded a new golf league called LIV. They played less golf and paid way more. We’re talking winning one LIV event paying as much some people make in winnings their entire career on the PGA Tour. So PGA tour said if you play on the LIV tour you’re banned from the PGA tour. A fair amount of decent or even big name players left anyway. Earlier this year, in only the second year of the LIV tour, the PGA tour announced they are more or less going to merge with the LIV tour. The players who did not make the jump to LIV are mad because they missed out on a big pay day and say they are due a reward and the LIV players should be penalized. Frankly to me, the LIV guys made a bet, took a chance, a risk, and it paid off and the guys who stayed played it safe and are jealous.
