What matters a lot are underdog stories, unheard of stories coming to fruition in the game of golf.

And so they were a failure.

I'm looking at this returning member program.

Now, Brooks literally paid the price, so I guess Patrick Reed is going to have to do the same.

Is this going to be still open for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, anybody else?

I'd be surprised if the deal that Brooks Koepka got or, well, Reed is going to have to qualify, and he is going to qualify.

So maybe that'll be the path back for a lot of these guys that don't have existing exemptions.

But they came back because they wanted to play more traditional golf.

It was their choice to come back.

These players are only coming back when Liv folds at the end of this year.

They'll only be coming back because they have no other choice.

So I think the road back will be quite a bit bumpier and more expensive.

Why don't they just make them play on the DP World Tour?

Well, either that or the Korn Ferry Tour or go back to Q School.

Now, there's some of them, a few of them that will have existing exemptions.

But I still just don't think that it's going to be as easy as it was for Brooks or Reed.

They can't keep them from coming back.

A lot of people text and say, why are they even letting them back?

I mean, legally, they can't do that.

They have to have a pathway to coming back.
