‘The schedule is very appealing’ – Adam Scott in talks with Saudi Golf League

Published

on

You can now add Adam Scott to the list of big name golfers who are potentially exploring a move to the Saudi breakaway league.

When Scott was asked prior to this week’s Genesis Invitational about his potential interest in the Saudi league, the 41-year-old said he was “sworn to secrecy.” Other golfers such as Lee Westwood have said that they signed a nondisclosure agreement, so that might also be the case with Scott.

Scott, however, did say that he found the proposed schedule attractive:

“I think the schedule they’re proposing is very appealing to probably most golfers,” he said. “Depending what your goals are in golf, I think the schedule is very appealing. From that side of things, I would consider doing that, for sure. From a lifestyle side of things, yes.”

When asked about the money being offered to players to leave the PGA Tour, which has drummed up a lot of controversy, the Aussie said:

“I think it’s a bigger discussion than just a quick quote from me up here, to be honest,” he said. “I can understand obviously that angle. I think you can argue both sides of lots of things, but at the end of the day I think my general feeling on this at the moment is that it’s only a positive thing for professional golfers that there’s interest and money coming into the sport. And it’s also somewhat forced the PGA Tour to put more money into the professional golfers and we’re seeing that all around the world, too.”

Scott added:

“They’ve put money into the European Tour. The LIV Golf Investments has put money into the Asian Tour. So at the moment that’s good for strengthening the professional game. How everything else pans out, I don’t know, but at the moment I think it’s good that these things are happening for golf professionals.”

There are rumored to be close to 20 golfers already committed to the league, which received $200 million investment from the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund in order to potentially lure some big name golfers.

    The PGA Tour mafia wants to be the only game in town.

    If Adam Scott wants to play the Saudi League, by all means.

    Monahan and his capos are a shameful bunch.

    The question now is how many of the sponsors of the players want to be associated with bodies in suitcases…Samsonite? Travelpro?

    Will the pro golfers become, anti climate change leaders…with a resurgence of fossil fuel sponsors in golf.

    I know how I feel..The PGA tour is a non-profit, and although they spend a fair amount on executive compensation, those executive salaries pale in comparison to money earned by top players. The fact is, you cant have a well run show, which you pay the producers pennies on the dollars going to players. Everyone needs to get paid for a quality product. Now, do they give the money to charity…not really, the money goes to promotion, it goes to player pension, it goes to lobbying…you know, for all of these players who want to piss an moan about money, who for the record, are some of the highest paid athletes in the world with the longest careers…and the most access to additional compensation, and a system that also supports the borderline pros with cash and long term security (pension system)…while retaining zero profit. Please…tell it to someone else…want to go to the other league, go right ahead, but as far as i am concerned…I wont use the ball you use, I wont buy the clubs…and I wont watch. Good Luck

    How does your wife feel about you consorting with subhuman animals who descriminate against women and attack them in Yemen?

    Unlike most dramaqueen dumbbox PGA Tour WAGs, Marie is a professional and doesn’t need you. Think carefully about this.

      Then you can call the USA a country of subhuman animals as well, as they are in bed with the Saudis on many things including maintaining that war in Yemen. So let’s just watch the European tour and Asian tour from now on.. oh wait, the UK, France, Germany etc. are also happy to drop bombs anywhere there are resources to be had (sorry, where to bring ‘democracy’) so let’s just watch the Asian tour. Not too many wars being fought by Asian countries in recent years.

        He probably does, as I do too.

        And Adam lives in Switzerland where the people sit back and shake their heads at all this warmongering coming from dying economies ruled by tyrants. Don’t think they’d be too happy with Adam carpetbagging and consorting with killers at the same time.

      Oh Greg, the PGA Tour saved a tee time for convicted wife beater and crackhead, George Floyd.

      Spare me the fake outrage.

    This is ridiculous – how much does Adan Scott need to earn at this stage of his career?
    The average earnings for a PGA Tour player in the 2021 season ws $1.5M and the lowest player not to win an event was Brian Gay and he earned $916K
    I for one, wouldn’t watch this Saudi Golf League nonsense if it was in my back garden

      “Depending what your goals are in golf”
      That’s your answer.
      When you are in descending phase of your career, despite probably able to win again, the possibility to get huge money just joining a new league is all that matter.
      Look at the rumoured players who are supposed to go… mostly in the same status, Poulter, Westwood, Stenson…plus some second lines who are just figures on main tours.
      Probably they will sign also a few big boys, but in my opinion the node is the possible ban, which I’m not sure can be applied without long legal disputes that will probably end in favor of the players.

WITB Time Machine: Phil Mickelson’s winning WITB, 2021 PGA Championship

Published

on

Phil Mickelson made history at the 2021 PGA Championship on Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course. At 50, he became the oldest player to win a major, breaking Julius Boros’s record. Starting the final round with a slim lead, Lefty faced tough competition from Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen. He pulled ahead with key birdies and a standout 366-yard drive on the 16th hole. Finishing 6 under par and two shots ahead, Mickelson claimed his sixth major and second PGA Championship. Many saw his win as an inspiring comeback, showing that experience and determination can still lead to victory in professional golf — and, sometimes, age is just a number.

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
