After Massive Outrage Against Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, ‘Mishandled’ $3,000,000,000 PGA Tour News Suffers Backlash, Courtesy of Tom Watson
The golfing world is going through a major change in structure. For 2 years now, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have been competing for star players. There have been a ton of controversies and an equally rigorous number of lawsuits. Finally, all that bad blood was supposed to end when PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, announced a $3 billion merger with the Saudi-backed golf tour association.
Several players shared their consternation while some were relieved to put the competition to rest and an opportunity to return to the home team. Many received backlash for the stand they took. All in all, the controversies continue. Amid all of these ‘he said,’ ‘she said,’ situations, veteran golfer Tom Watson, raises pointed queries on the players’ behalf.
Since the merger was announced among the players who backed the decision were Jack Niklaus and Gary Player. They received a lot of backlash from the other players and fans for favoring the $3 billion partnership. Now, their biggest rival Tom Watson, has shared a letter addressed to Jay Monahan, detailing the concerns that are plaguing the players and stakeholders of the PGA Tour.
