Despite Reportedly Turning Down $800,000,000 for Loyalty, Tiger Woods’ Cruel Treatment About LIV Golf Decision Holds a Major Significance, Jay Monahan Reveals
People have so many questions about the amalgamation news that has taken the world by storm. Not only fans, but renowned golfers such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm must have been just as shocked by the news as well. After all, they too found out about the historic merger the same way and at the same time the fans did. And it has everything to do with the 15-time major winner himself!
By keeping the pros in the dark, does that mean their loyalty to the Tour did not matter? Or did it? Regardless, PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan, recognized that following the news, he will be attributed as a “hypocrite.” Yet, he didn’t think “it’s right or sustainable to have this tension in our sport.”
The news of the merger spread widely across all social media platforms. Fans kept searching for information to make sense of everything. If reports are to be believed, the news of the merger was kept under wraps even by the legendary Tiger Woods, who allegedly turned down an offer worth $800 million to join LIV. He kept his long-striding loyalty to the PGA Tour upbeat about his decision. But did he get to reap the benefits of his loyalty?
