The golf world is still shocked by the news that it received on Tuesday this week. After all, it was the biggest twist ever, with the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and LIV Golf merging. But even more surprising was the fact that Tour pros such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were kept in the dark about the deal!

Now, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan is trying to gain these big names’ trust back with promises of a reward. However, this too has not been taken well by many in the golf community; after all, other PGA Tour pros believe that they too deserve a piece of these rewards.

PGA Tour pro wishes to be rewarded, just like Tiger Woods

It seemed that when Monahan shook hands with Saudis, he forgot about the golfers who proved their extreme loyalty to the PGA Tour by sticking around. Later, however, he addressed this concern head-on during his interview with the Golf Channel. Addressing the concerns of pros, he boldly stated that their loyalty would be rewarded. Despite the merger, he claimed that he had not forgotten about the players’ loyalty, who turned down offers worth over $800 million to join the former rival league.

At the players-only meeting at the Canadian Open, the decision to allow LIV golfers back on the PGA and European Tours was met with a severe backlash. One of the PGA Tour pros, Chesson Hadley, who first began playing in 2014, has come forward and demanded what is rightfully his. He has boldly stated that his loyalty and dedication should also be recognized by the Monahan.
