The PGA Tour is telling its players they will not have to be tested for the coronavirus if they are vaccinated, and those who aren’t will have to pay for their own tests starting this summer. In a memo sent to players Monday, the tour strongly encouraged them to get vaccinated. It stopped short of saying it would require players to be vaccinated to compete in tournaments. Players would be deemed inoculated 14 days after the full course of the vaccine.

We all know the next step. Fans must show their “papers” to attend. Looks like PGA is submitting to the corporation money like all the others. It will be bad for business in the long run. One thing I learned from the truth house, corporations aren’t capitalists. They want to monopolize business. They hate competition.

PGA Tour enlightened liberalism started during the tenure of former commissioner Tim Finchem, who was a democrat activist before he was commissioner. Finchem routed a substantial donation to the Clinton Foundation by way of proceeds from the tournament formerly known as the Bob Hope Desert Classic.

I stopped watching golf as soon as they got political and pulled tournaments from Trump,properties. Not because they pulled from Trump properties, it because I won’t support any organization that does virtue signaling.
Get woke, go broke.

What makes this even more ridiculous, is the fact they are outside, and rarely within ten feet of each other. Besides, many of these golfers get enormous appearance paychecks just for showing up, and are paid to wear shirts and hats with a company name on them. Even the clubs they use are paid for by the maker of the clubs. Also, the Covid test fee can also be written off as a business expense. No one on the professional golf tour is broke. There may be a local pro who on occasion takes part in a tournament, but there aren't too many of them that do that on a regular basis.

This is so stupid. The chances of a golfer getting COVID on a golf course are about the same (maybe less) as his chances of getting a hole-in-one on a par-four hole.

Poster 4, a few years ago, the PGA Tour moved a tournament from Trump National Doral to Mexico City. Early this year, the PGA of America pulled the 2022 PGA Championship from a Trump course. The PGA Tour and PGA of America are often confused.

So they're going to force players into taking a test that has been proven to be inaccurate, cannot measure viral load nor which virus or bacteria is present. Recently, the BBC show "Panorama" did an expose inside a test facility in Milton Keynes showing just how contaminated the samples become during the test process - I'm sure that's not happening here... /s. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56556806
