Yes there still needs to be more big names coming before the PGA has anything to consider. But logically it was always going to happen after the majors, with more at the end of the FedEx Cup, then the remaining Europeans who make Ryder Cup bailing after that. In the end even though it is blood money, there also really isn't that much "bloodless(???)" money either, and guys will justify it that way. Lot of these guys saying no the LIV have already took the appearance money for Dubai and Abu Dhabi events, so deep down they're cool with it in the end.
But if it comes to a place where LIV has half or more of the top guys, then LIV doesn't have to compromise at all. They have the hammer in their unlimited budget and ability to incur significant losses. Once the PGA starts losing money it will be pretty much be the end of the tour, whereas Saudis can lose $10 billion and not even care. Without control of the majors the PGA is always going to have no leverage. Like I said I would think the PGA will essentially have a "Super Series" of their own with elite events with mixed fields, and the mid-level events will greatly suffer as a result.
