The PGA Tour didn't come down from the mountaintop along with Moses and the ten commandments. It's just a business. One day a competitor will come along and change the landscape/ecosystem. But it's not going to be this day, nor is it this competitor -- not today and not ever, for a whole host of reasons. And I'm almost certain that GN knows this already. But there's this money, you see, from a Saudi investment fund, part of a massive public relations initiative concerted effort to grow the game globally. And that's where JN comes in too, on the architectural-golf building front, and for the exact same reason.
I was about to get sad and mad, and then I remembered the closing lines of a great film: "Forget it, Jake - it's Chinatown."
