The battle for golf’s future has featured two main characters: the PGA Tour, fronted by commissioner Jay Monahan, and LIV Golf, headed by CEO Greg Norman.
Amid all the chaotic content surrounding the launch of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, Rory McIlroy has been adamant that he will remain loyal to the PGA Tour. Fitting, then, that he picked up his 21st PGA Tour victory just one day after the completion of the first LIV Golf Invitational event outside London.
Monahan, who refused to mention LIV Golf by its name, was asked if the players who played in the 54-hole event in London this past weekend will ever be allowed to return to the PGA Tour. His answer was hardly a confirmation.
LIV Golf has begun and can’t be dismissed, much as the PGA Tour wishes to do so. Not after signing Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has revealed the sanction’s in a sternly-worded memo to players before LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman issued a scathing response.
