Bernie Lincicome says it has always been about money with professional golf, somebody else's money, of course. And in one of the greatest sports scams ever, golf grew into an international octopus with tours here and there, assuming the check would clear and it usually did.

Professional golf, at its happiest, was fronted by singers, comedians and airlines, all of whom are now defunct, National Airlines missed less than Jackie Gleason.

I remember asking Fuzzy Zoeller, a notable of the period, what he thought about playing golf for a million dollars."It's about time," he said. by signing up you agree to our terms of service None of that bothered golf and while none of Augusta's faults compare to those of Saudi Arabia, the point is golf will adjust as long as the money is good.

Money can't buy happiness? Sure, it can, though I admit that golfers don't always show it. Has there ever been a more sour sports figure than Tiger Woods, only lately through age and injury becoming treasured? All the PGA tour had to do was to wait out the inevitable collapse of LIV, but instead decided, if they were giving money away -- no matter how infected -- to take it, as we await the inevitable demand of the Saudis for something in return.
