During an episode of ‘Tomi Lahren is Fearless’, Tomi Lahren made a direct question to John Daly regarding the LIV Golf vs PGA Tour controversy. Shockingly, Daly’s response was unexpected.

Daly first gave props to both Tours by saying, “I’m not against the LIV and I’m not go I’m not against what the Tour’s doing.” But later John Daly cited his anger towards the PGA Tour’s commissioner Jay Monahan by saying, “It’s supposed to the Tour works for us but I’m kind of leaning like well maybe Jay thinks we’re working for him.”

After hinting at his support for the Saudi-backed Tour, Daly further talked about how he hopes both Tours can work together. He also gave props to LIV Golf’s CEO Greg Norman.

Following his comments about Monahan, Daly added, “I just wish they would come together and just do it together. You know, I know Greg, I’ve known Greg for a long time. His idea was the World Golf Championships.” John Daly then paid respect to the former commissioner of the PGA Tour, Tim Vincent, who played a crucial role in the expansion of PGA Tour internationally.
