Jay Monahan, Rory McIlroy
The recent controversy between the LIV Golf Series and the PGA Tour has clearly split the golf world into two. However, recently PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan and elite golfer Rory McIlroy landed themselves in a spot of trouble after hypocritical statements of theirs have been recorded.
The PGA Tour announced some big changes in the upcoming year, the biggest of which includes a new ‘tour within a tour’ of elite golfers who will come together to play events. These events include 12 tournaments of the said series, 4 Majors, the Players Championship and 3 PGA Tour events over and above that. The news comes as an imminent change in the future of professional golf.
Recently however, Rory McIlroy had commented, “We need to make the tour more global.. you’ve got players from all over the world. I think that the tour needs to be represented in all of those regions in the world.” Now his boss Monahan does not seem to agree, because in a statement released yesterday, he talked about the tours planned for next year.

Twitter is disappointed as Jay Monahan and PGA Tour back down from their word
“They’ll rotate between domestic events on the schedule. Obviously we have the Genesis Scottish Open as one of the events that’s on our schedule, which is co-sanctioned. That would be a consideration. But beyond that for ’23, that would be my expectation,” said Monahan about the situation. Twitter was not too happy…
