Jay Monahan has found himself at the centre of the saga between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf - as he's in charge of negotiating a peace deal with the Tour's Saudi rivals
Jay Monahan's approach to the PGA Tour's 'framework agreement' with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia has been questioned by DP World Tour star Eddie Pepperell.
Monahan's initial statement last year appeared to confirm that an end to the fallout was near, Pepperell however believes this approach was the wrong one. "I was thinking about this earlier," Pepperell said whilst appearing on The Chipping Forecast. "Really all that was agreed was to stop suing one another," he added. "Out of that language came Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, players like that looking and thinking ‘oh, something’s in the pipeline’. I wonder if they regret using the language they used. It’s going to be interesting to see.”Updates have been sparse in recent months in regard to the process of the deal.
