Jason Day, the 37-year-old Australian golfer, weighed in on the ripple effects of LIV Golf on the PGA Tour ahead of his appearance at the Farmers Insurance Open. Day highlighted how the Saudi-backed league has reshaped professional golf, forcing the PGA Tour to innovate with lucrative signature events but creating a divide among players.
Day expressed his concerns about the current state of golf, noting that the PGA Tour’s response to LIV Golf—introducing eight signature tournaments with $30 million prize pools—has unintentionally split the field into two tiers.
