The hunt
for
the
weirdest. Well
hang on a second. Strangers. This is nuts. Yeah, this is borderline psychotic. It's only gonna just increase on the shots. Most unbelievable. This guy's the greatest villain of all time. It's
a lot going on.
Keep up.
Stories to ever occur. I'm learning a lot today. Hold on to your ads, 'cause we're just getting started.
In the world of sport. That's the worst script I've ever heard. Well it's not over. Oh, hello. I've gone too early.
Sports bizarre. Tells member of the media to suck it and keep on sucking it. Rube had joined a local circus and was learning the art of swallowing life snails. Threw the ball down, mounted his horse and rode away and never played again.
It's time for the leaders of the heart. Get the whiteboard out, or I'll refuse the only firm. It's Titus O'Reilly and Mick Malloy. Hello everybody and welcome to the last episode of Sports Bazaar with me, Mick Malloy, and as always doing the heavy lifting, it's Titus O'Reilly.
What are we doing? Well, we've just replayed the which you and I remember fondly. We sure do. The history of PGA versus Live Golf. We did Greg Norman's involvement back in the day when he created, tried to create a world tour, you know, back a long time ago, right up into the Live Golf coming out in a blaze of
glory. This is it though, the biggest disruptor in the history of Live Golf. That's right. That's right.
And where we left off with those two episodes back in twenty twenty three, so it's a while ago now. We left off and we just replayed them for everyone. If they've listened, bringed them up the speed. Where we left off back then, a big peace deal had been announced. A merger of PGA and Live Golf was announced. It was peace in our time. Yeah. No problems ever again. People were shocked that the PGA had backtracked to the Saudis so much and given in. Yeah, yeah.
They're all
d it's all down to just the fine the money chart. Yeah, fine print, basically. And then of course you and I with keenness read that Live Golf has filed for bankruptcy. So we said straight away, let's replay those two to bring everyone back up to speed. And then this new episode we're doing right now, which is going to cover off what's happened since then and what's happened in the last few days. Because some of the figures in this are eye watering. You know, like even if you're not into golf, this is corporate espionage. This is a business one. This is dollar. Well when
the sound is pull out because it's leaking like a sieve financially You gotta
These guys don't care about a trillion dollars don't trillion dollars the the uh PIF, the investment fund that they run. So where we left off we had Greg Norman was CEO of Live Golf, but he'd been left out of the announcement. Yeah. One of the one of the caveats. PJ were not happy with him. Rory and him had fallen out a whole bunch. So PJ tour and Liv Announced the merger, that's where we left off. But a lot had happened and there were red flags all the way along that pointed that this might be happening. But it's kind of interesting how the shift happened, how we got from Deal, we're gonna be best friends to nothing there and then bankruptcy. So first Greg Norman was moved on in twenty twenty five. Now the writing was on the wall in that announcement when he didn't know about the Live Golf announcement merger until I think about five minutes before the actual media conference happened.
