The rising popularity of the upcoming LIV Golf Invitational Series is a concern for the PGA Tour. According to a few reports, plenty of golfers from the PGA Tour have applied for release. However, the PGA Tour pro-John Daly has advice for both these leagues. He believes by following this, both the LIV Golf and PGA Tour can get some benefit. 

The 56-year-old Daly recently gave an interview where he was discussing golf and other things. And the host asked him about his views on the whole PGA Tour VS LIV Golf thing.

“It’s amazing, it hasn’t popped up before,” said John. “But it’s just maybe they can get together and work something out where they can share some tournaments. The money is unbelievable out on our tour already, not on the champions tour, but on the regular tour. It’s just crazy money.”

Furthermore, Daly said he would love to see them work together and try to figure out rather than bad-mouthing each other.
