Right now this reminds me of the WHA days when they were competing with the NHL. It's fun to see it play out.

Dechambeau is one of my favorites to watch, I guess it will be a little harder to do that now.
US is where the money is. Is golf that popular in Europe outside of the UK? And the big stars McIllroy and Rahm aren't going.

And Asia outside of Japan and Korea? No PGA Tour Asian players left. You've got markets like China and India but golf isn't big in those two countries. And in general, tv contracts outside the US aren't that big. Advertising dollars don't go as far.
