The new addition of this magnitude sure complicates things for the Saudi-backed rival of the Tour. This decision will also incite new changes in the game of golf. We are yet to find out what will be the reaction from LIV golf’s end to this breaking news.

The new agreement between the Tours and JGTO has fetched the first three players of the latter to have membership in the world-famous DP Tour. This has been termed as an effort to let talent from across the world have the opportunity to play a world-level Tour like the DP Tour and have equal access. It has been made certain that all the parties involved will also be collaborating on any new business development-related issues that may emerge.

This decision undertaken by the Tours has been termed as an effort to counter the effects the Tours have had to face after LIV Golf’s entry into the game.

Jay Monahan, a top official from the side of the PGA Tour, gave reasons for the new decision.

He said, “Japan has a long, storied history of producing world-class golf talent that deserves the opportunity to compete on the game’s highest stage, and today’s announcement is recognition of that.”

PGA fans angered by its “inadequacy”

The CJ Cup had fans excited to see the pairing they had been waiting to witness. However, an unfortunate incident halted them from realizing this dream. It was the PGA Tour broadcasters who rang the bell of disappointment in all the fan’s houses. The much-awaited last day of the CJ Cup was left uncovered for the first two hours. This contained the highly loved final groupings game which left fans sad and triggered. This blunder by the Tour was widely criticized online.

Fans even went on to term this as an inadequate response by the Tour on something as significant. Still, all they were left with was a disappointment and a rush of anger.
