The former Ryder Cup captain believes Jay Monahan faces a ‘real problem’ to persuade PGA loyalists that they’re not losers in golf’s Saudi deal.
PAUL MCGINLEY BELIEVES commissioner Jay Monahan faces a “real problem” to persuade PGA Tour loyalists they are not the losers in golf’s peace deal.
Monahan faced calls to resign at a heated players’ meeting on Tuesday and McGinley believes he faces a huge task to win over the players who, in some cases, turned down massive payouts to remain loyal to the PGA Tour.“He’s got his players to back him, he’s been very, very strong anti-LIV, he’s been very, very strong trying to build up the PGA Tour.
It has been reported the merger will face scrutiny from anti-trust regulators in both the United States and Europe, with Monahan openly admitting that a competitor had been “taken off the board”.“The work only starts now, there’s so many complexities here if there is going to be this merger,” he added.
“The players will be looking at what’s in it for me, how much prize money am I going to get, what’s my job security?
