The PGA Tour has been in huge trouble since LIV Golf arrived on the scene. Namely, many players who were part of the PGA decided to leave the competition and become part of LIV Golf. This caused frustration among the leaders of the PGA, and they decided to ban players from the tour.
Then chain reactions followed. The other Tours decided to do the same, which this time caused the anger of LIV Golfers. Several of them decided to file a lawsuit against the PGA Tour, but it was an unsuccessful plan. PGA Tour players held an anonymous meeting to fight LIV Golf, and Rory McIlroy was part of that meeting.
What McIlroy is proud of is the fact that the PGA Tour showed solidarity and willingness to fight against the Saudi Arabian project. “I think the one thing that came out of it, which I think was the purpose, is all the top players on this Tour are in agreement and alignment of where we should go going forward, and that was awesome”.
– he said, as quoted by golfmonthly.
Rory McIlroy; Wee need top guys
Rory McIlroy emphasized that top players are the main asset in the fight. The biggest name is certainly Tiger Woods, who was also the leader of the meeting.
“We need to get the top guys together more often than we do. I’m talking about all in the same tournaments, all in the same weeks”. The details of the meeting are still unknown. But it is obvious that the PGA Tour players have a plan that they will try to implement.
LIV Golf does not give up on its intentions. Greg Norman and the team want to conquer the golf world, become number 1, but the task will not be easy. Their main means is money, and we know how motivated today’s athletes are by such means.Tiger Woods and the team seem concerned because they are aware of the power of money.
