Trump Breaks Chamblee

February 12, 2025

Brandel Chamblee (Golf Channel)

Every man has his price, so it’s said, and in the case of Brandel Chamblee, it would appear that price is a simple green fee and a round of golf with President Trump.  Moral giant Brandel appears to have changed his tune regarding LIV and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) overnight after years of hand-wringing and sermonizing about the Middle East country’s human rights record.

Chamblee has taken to the Golf Channel airwaves nightly and lectured about his nobility and his utter abhorrence for the country that dirt-napped Muslim Brotherhood terrorist scum Jamal Khashoggi in a Turkish embassy in 2018.  But with the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, Chamblee, who surely shits ice cream, has finally discovered where his bread is soon to be buttered and has now morphed into the spineless and compliant hypocrite most of us knew he was all along.  Trump has been rumored to be involved in talks between PIF and the PGA Tour intended to mend the chasm in professional golf, and with his notable dexterity in “The Art of the Deal”, many say his involvement will soon bring and end to the impasse.

The next step in negotiations is for Chamblee’s slurp buddy Eamon “Bonesaw” Lynch to knuckle under to the larger-than-life President, and too, become a whimpering dog like Chamblee—both men avatars of moral righteousness until their paychecks are threatened.  You see, with an eventual merger of PIF and the Tour, Chamblee and Lynch will essentially be accepting payment from the very entity that they have described with nothing less than bitter contempt for the last several years.

Lynch, in particular, must be gnashing his teeth at the thought that his false piety is now threatened by the man he takes gratuitous and unfounded jabs at in every piece he writes.  That would be the man who won the popular vote and an Electoral College landslide to again become President after having the election stolen from him in 2020.

But the Tour is nothing if not flush with money-grubbing hypocrites, so, of course, insufferable windbag Rory McIlroy, who never met a topic he couldn’t be wrong about, had to do another of his numerous about-faces, this time in regards to President Trump.  When asked if he thought Trump could facilitate a deal to unite the golf world, McIlroy exclaimed, “He might be able to! He’s got Elon Musk, who I think is the smartest man in the world beside him, so he might be able to do something if we can get Musk involved too.”  As if Trump became the top real estate mogul on the globe and eventually leader of the free world by the grace of Elon Musk.

McIlroy played a round of golf with Trump a few years back and described his experience thusly:

“I’ll sit here and say the day that I did spend with him and others was very enjoyable.  He’s very charismatic, he was nice to everyone—it didn’t matter whether you were me or the guys in the cart barn or the pro at the golf club.  He has something.  He obviously has something or he wouldn’t be in the White House, right?  He has something—whatever it is, an X factor, charisma, whatever.  Most people that he came across that day he was cordial to; he was nice and personable.  That was my only interaction with him the day I had with him.”

McIlroy then went on to say he would never play with Trump again because, you know, “Orange Man bad.”  McIlroy is another dim one incapable of thought outside his social-media saturated iPhone, but if Orange Man can put a few green bills in his pocket, he’s all on board.

One suspects that if Chamblee, Lynch, and McIlroy were gifted a free round of golf with Hitler—the real one, not the one conjured by the mendacious media in the form of Donald Trump—they could be found goose-stepping from hole to hole, gleefully swapping their soft spikes for jackboots.

 

 

Justin Suh (Who??) Muddles Along on a Paltry Fortune

I couldn’t help but notice, as I checked in on the leaderboard at the Honda Classic today, that the man holding the lead was one of those downtrodden golfers that we’ve been told by LIV dupes for the past year are the bread and butter of the Tour—the players being systematically marginalized and forced to live in cardboard boxes in the clubhouse parking lot as they struggle to make cuts and earn enough soup money to drag themselves to the tee the following day.  Friday’s leader, Justin Suh, is hardly destitute, but if you spend a moment in any golf chatroom, you’ll be overwhelmed by the wailing of the “equity” blockheads who insist that the Grayson Murrays of the world should be as well compensated as the Rory McIlroys and Jon Rahms.  “These guys show up every week and don’t make any money if they miss the cut,” these simpletons, who can’t even distinguish the PGA from the PGA Tour, say, as they genuflect to LIV Golf for poaching a bunch of PGA Tour has-beens and PGA Tour never-beens like Andy Ogletree.  Ogletree, who finished dead-last in LIV’s inaugural event with a flashy 24-over par in three days, earned a cool $120,000 for just showing up.  Only 9 of 48 LIV players shot par or better in London that first week, yet Ogletree’s bounty was the lowest sum one could whore for.

Mind you, I care not one whit for the virtue-signaling hypocrite journalists who sermonize about the evil Saudi backers while giving a pass to Rory and others who take blood money from Dubai and other Middle East cutthroats while playing on the DP Tour.  These pious scribes will still sip their craft beers at NBA games with complimentary tickets provided by the China-backed Adam Silver (looking at you Eamon Lynch and Brandel Chamblee).  My beef with LIV is the simple ingratitude that Phil, Dustin, Brooks, Bryson, Patrick, and Cam have shown toward the PGA Tour which showered them with lavish amounts of money, courtesy cars, free meals, and fawning volunteers at every event, where their every whim is catered to and indulged.  Abraham Ancer apparently was offended that he was only able to siphon $15 million for a seven-year career that features one win and 13 missed cuts in 19 events in his rookie year.  And, of course, Greg Norman, LIV’s CEO and commissioner, who never met a man he couldn’t be rude to, made a fairly healthy buck pissing away 54-hole leads for 20 years.

But I digress…back to Justin Suh.  The 25-year old USC product was a highly successful amateur player and may have a long and storied career ahead of him, but to this point he has made 17 of 37 cuts in the big leagues, and this season alone has earned $352,323 for not making it to the weekend in 4 of 12 starts.  His highest finish is T20 and he currently stands 112th on the FedEx Cup list, but he’s already more than a third of the way to a million, and we’re not even out of February yet.  Point being, the Bernie Sanders lick boots who think it’s everyone’s birthright to play golf for a living need to French kiss some facts before decrying the largesse that the PGA Tour has for years showered on a multitude of middling players.  I wanted to play centerfield for the Yankees growing up, but it didn’t quite work out.  That’s life, and if you’re a pro golfer slamming the trunk every Friday, you shouldn’t be crying for welfare, but instead should be applying for a sales job at the local car dealer.
