PS...In full disclosure, he's a partner of mine in a soon-to-be launched golf entertainment company. I know, and respect, him quite a bit.
I'm happy to hear this. And I'll admit, I'm harder on Brandel than he likely deserves.
-----
For the handful of posters who ask why I feel Brandel (and others, I don't recall him being the only one) should resign, my logic is simple (though that doesn't mean it's right, I have no problem with those who disagree, this is a discussion site, after all):
My recollection is that he has made it quite clear that anyone involved with the Saudis in any fashion is taking blood money. While Golf Channel is not owned by the PGA Tour, they will be quite clearly fully in business with the Saudis, assuming this goes through and they maintain their relationship with the new entity. Brandel does not do much other golf-related things like instruction, history, architecture, etc (at least not that I've seen, though I will also admit I don't watch much anymore). He is paid to comment on the pro game. He will be intimately involved in working with the Saudis.
Now, I don't care about that. But he has been pretty clear that he does. If he were an independent person - podcaster, writer, whatever - I'd say he'd be well within his sphere to continue his punditry. To work for GC and be involved with their intimate relationship with pro golf, I think he's doing the very thing he has been quite mercilessly calling out others for doing.
As for the whole big thing, the world's got more than 99 real problems, and Saudis pouring money into pro golf ain't one of 'em......
