Shocking news today; LIV Golf, PGA Tour, and DP World Tour have decided to merge. This is something that if you had been told about it a few days ago, you would not have believed it. As a result, they came to the realization that finding a common language was the only way to solve their problem.
This will be a very big change in the world of golf, and it will be very interesting to follow golf in the coming years as a result of this. As soon as this news was released, golfers’ reactions to it were not long in coming.
The first player to react was Brooks Koepka, who decided to make fun of Brandel Chamblee, a Golf Channel analyst who has criticized LIV Golf and the players many times over the past few months. Koepka wrote on Twitter; “Welfare Check on Chamblee,”- he wrote.
Koepka is not the only one to react. One of the greatest ambassadors of LIV Golf, Phil Mickelson, decided to do the same. This veteran expressed his happiness through social media, and this will be a very happy day for him. “Awesome day today,”- Mickelson wrote.
Jay Monahan reacts
Jay Monahan, PGA Tour boss, is looking forward to this partnership and expects great things from everything. Monahan criticized LIV Golf many times and believed that it would ‘destroy golf’ However, Monahan changed his mind and realized that this is the only way to solve things.
“After two years of disruption and distraction, this is a historic day for the game we all know and love. This transformational partnership recognises the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and pro-competitive model and combines with it the DP World Tour and LIV – including the team golf concept – to create an organization that will benefit golf’s players, commercial and charitable partners and fans.
Going forward, fans can be confident that we will, collectively, deliver on the promise we’ve always made – to promote competition of the best in professional golf and that we are committed to securing and driving the game’s future.”
