Since LIV Golf came into existence, both the PGA Tour and its players have been doing everything possible to control the damage the Saudi-backed league has caused. One such move came last year when the players held a meeting void of the management to discuss matters. Many mysteries still remain about the meeting. But the PGA Tour player director Peter Malnati’s feelings about the gathering are no longer one of them.

Peter Malnati gets honest about the Delaware meet

Last year, on the 16th of August, the Tour players gathered in Wilmington, Delaware, for a players-only meeting. There they discussed their fight against the Breakaway Tour. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy led the meeting. And among the attending players was also Peter Malnati, one of the five PGA Tour player directors.

While a lot of details about the meeting have been kept hush-hush and players have kept their lips tightly sealed about it, Malnati recently revealed his feelings about the meeting. And surprisingly, it wasn’t all that positive! Speaking to Alan Shipnuck on the Fire Drill podcast this week, he said, “I was disappointed with the tour coming out of the Delaware meeting.”

PGA Tour Adds Another Strategic Ally Amid Rising Tensions With LIV Golf

Malnati explained that the PGA Tour had made the meeting look like their star-studded members were extremely invested and devoted to the cause. And to the golf pro, it seemed just plain wrong. “I think it felt like, well, I mean, the tour has a governance process, and we’re ignoring it.”

The PGA Tour star talks about the Tour’s leadership

Malnati explained that the way the Tour was acting wasn’t very leaderlike. “This isn’t leadership; this is, you know, blackmail,” he stated, expressing his disappointment. “I think there was a lot of angst for sure.” The one-time PGA Tour winner explained that he was extremely frustrated with the Tour.

He felt like the players were being disrespectful, and that frustrated him a lot. “I felt annoyed,” he said. Malnati claimed that he was certainly grateful that the players had chosen to stay on the Tour. But as per him that didn’t mean that nothing else mattered. And it felt exactly like that back then. He explained that the players acted like “the 40 or 50 years of processes going into building the PGA Tour” didn’t matter.
