Saudi League has been the main topic of discussion these days in the golf world. No golfers were willing to admit whether the League had ever approached them or not. However, recently, one of the PGA Tour players, Jason Kokrak, reportedly had revealed he has been in talks with the League. 

Saudi League is, supposedly, the main rival of the PGA Tour. Since the purse money, they are offering is higher than that of any other tournaments, the Tour players are expected to play for the League. Although Tiger Woods, Collin Morikawa, and some others have turned down the offers from League, some have shown interest in it. However, none of them have admitted publicly about it ever. At least, until now. 

Jason Kokrak to join the Saudi League!

Dan Rapaport of Golf Digest took Twitter to reveal one of the vital updates about the League.

The reporter tweeted, “Just spoke with Jason Kokrak, who said he has been in talks with the Saudi league. Essentially said he wants to make a bunch of money so he can retire at 44 (very specific age) and watch his kids grow up. Honest if nothing else. In related news, Kokrak has GOLF SAUDI on his bag.”

He had revealed his interest to play for the League before as well. He said, “If somebody pays me enough money that my kids’ kids are going to have a good head start on life, then I am going to have to take full advantage.” 

Jason further added that he would like to make as much money in as less time. And if the League could offer him that, he is ready to play for them. Jason has his mind ready for what he wants to do. However, do the fans reciprocate the same thoughts?

The choice to join the League is of Jason’s. And if he thinks it is the right decision, then there is nothing anybody can do. Since one of the many had revealed his intention to join the Saudi League, it wouldn’t be long since many came forward with their decision.
