These golfers are acting pretty damn butthurt over the LIV PGA peace deal. Are they more niave than I gave them credit for? What did they think was going to happen? I hope they didn't assume the PGA had their best interests at heart and that they weren't simply pawns in a power play?

What did they think was going to happen?
Well, I suspect when they took a stand against LIV by not signing on for 200mm, I think they thought they would have had the backing of their employers who they were staying loyal to & had both publicly and privately made their intentions clear to stand together.
Instead, all that happened is that those that didn't stay loyal, banked 200mm, and ended up with all the same rights.
If I was Rahm or McIlroy, I'd take a look at my bank balance, realise I never had to work again and walk away forever.
EDIT: In my view, that is the only thing you can do if you want to be stand by your principles. Well, or quit the PGA and become a European tour only.

'I'm gobsmacked': Kiwi golfer Daniel Hillier wins British Masters title after stunning final round
Great to see the young man win his first professional title in his rookie year. Earns himself a spot at The Open Championship.

My fav major, just ahead of the masters.
The first tee is pretty tight. Not many finding the fair way. Really interesting course. 5th is a super short par 5, only 480yards

As always with links courses, you need to take into account the prevailing wind. I played Royal North Devon once when the wind was opposite to the usual and a couple of guys drove a par 5. Normally lucky to get there in three.

Yeah mate, I’ve played a bit of golf before and my local track is links.
It’s a funny hole the 5th with second shot often longer than the first (I hate holes like that!).
Seve did something like that on one of those “being filmed, having a chat, playing a round”.
So Seve, short par four, what will you take?
Wedge, driver.
You mean driver, wedge.
No.
And yes, he made the green.

Tommy Fleetwood leads the Open - no interview
McIlroy scrapes a par - wankfest

In other news, Hoylake a beautiful course and part of the world

They’re are few over-hyped sportsmen in world as McIlroy. I don’t get it.

Apparently Gulf Harbour golf club is closing. Had a lot of fun playing there circa 2000.

It was a lovely golf course to play. I used to enjoy Formosa as well, but that's gone too
