Brandel Chamblee says PGL money comes from a "SEWER"
Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee has ripped into the Premier Golf League, saying the money comes from a "sewer."
Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee has torn apart the Premier Golf League, stating that the money comes from a "sewer" that "chops up journalists if they don't like what they say."
Rory McIlroy recently spoke out against the Premier Golf League and said that he "didn't like where the money came from" after he and many other of the PGA Tour's top players were approached about the proposed F1 style tour.

McIlroy was praised by PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan for showing his leadership qualities and staying loyal to the PGA Tour and now Chamblee has had his say on the matter, speaking on 'Live From The Players.'
"Rory's rebuff of the PGL — yeah, it was about autonomy — but more than that, far more than that, it was about integrity. Rory had the audacity to question where the money for the PGL was coming from, as if you should care where the money is coming from.
"If water is flowing downhill from a sewer, philosophically, the place where this money is coming from is the sewer of philosophical ideas. This is where they kill apostates; this is where they put homosexuals in bags and throw them off roofs; this is where they chop up journalists if they don't like what they say. So, philosophically, this is the sewer.
"So if water is flowing downhill from a sewer, and because the volume is so great, it's contamination is diffused such that you can't really tell that it's contaminated, and everybody is telling you to take a drink — Rory stands alone in saying, 'Don't drink the water. It's contaminated.'
"And what he did there is far more rare and far more important than his talent is. His talent entertains us, and as rare as his talent is, you see that occasionally. But to see that kind of talent accompanied with this social awareness and this philosophical precocity, if you want to call it that, that's out of this park."
