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.
If only the PGA and its hierarchy took onboard that LIV can coexist if the PGA boss wasn’t such a selfish person.
Imagine the strength of both combined and the money players could play for!!!
It would be the very best thing for golf ever and the PGA needs to get into the 21st century
