The comments from the two players come after the PGA Tour commissioner left members in the dark over an about-face deal with the Saudi Arabia wealth fund behind LIV Golf
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan returns to work next week and some top players believe he has to regain their trust after leaving members in the dark over an about-face deal with the Saudi Arabia wealth fund behind LIV Golf.
Players were sent a 275-page file of the documents Congress obtained ahead of the three-hour hearing. Some watched part of it or read through a few excerpts of the documents. Jordan Spieth chose to play golf at North Berwick instead. Monahan and two board members – Jimmy Dunne and board chairman Ed Herlihy – negotiated the agreement announced June 6 with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
McIlroy’s name surfaced in a Dec. 8 email to Dunne from Roger Devlin, a British businessman involved on the PIF side of helping repair the fractured state of golf. Devlin said he arranged for McIlroy to meet with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of PIF, last November in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.“Rory made it clear that in accepting the meeting he was speaking only for himself although he believes his views are broadly shared by Tiger and the other top players,” Devlin wrote.
Schauffele said he glanced through some of the documents and started to watch a link to the hearing until he decided sleep was more important.
