The LIV and PGA merger was most likely the largest golf information since nicely… Tiger Woods. There are numerous issues which might be surprising in regards to the merger however the flip-flop by Jay Monahan is what despatched this merger from shocking to surprising. I’ve talked in regards to the Monahan-flop earlier than:
“Monahan simply oversaw one of many largest gaffes in skilled sports activities however Lynch offers him a go apparently. Monahan put up a morality wall in opposition to LIV that fell sooner than a pair of panties on promenade night time. I’ll give Jay a little bit of respect for going out in entrance of the media and taking a beating for a few days however then…? A medical problem and a go away of absence with no clarification?

For the PGA gamers, you’ve received the preliminary shock of the Monahan-flop, as soon as that units in very first thing a participant like Rory is considering is “What the f…” Monahan banned all of the gamers that left for LIV for all times, talked endlessly in regards to the ramifications, however worst of all took the ethical excessive floor. So a participant like Rory decides to be solider and arise for the tour that has given him every little thing. What does Rory get in return? Not even a breakup textual content, as a substitute he finds out about it just like the rest of us.
Now I’m certain there are numerous issues that occur behind closed doorways that may come out in a documentary sequence or doubtlessly film sooner or later, however how Monahan let this entire factor occur and never inform any of the gamers earlier than it dropped is an all time bozo transfer. Perhaps Monahan didn’t have a option to disclose this info earlier than it dropped. Perhaps it was a method for LIV to punish Monahan for all his morality discuss. He took such a agency stance in opposition to LIV so perhaps they didn’t give him the advantage of getting forward of it to the PGA gamers or the media. And you understand what occurs if you don’t management the story…
Having that large information drop with none clarification or warning served Monahan a scorching shit sandwich. To his credit score he ate it in entrance of the press till his medical problem got here up. Not speaking with the gamers, main them down a path that you simply abruptly abandon, and having no actual clarification? All belief has been misplaced.
So in the event you’re a PGA participant what’s the following step? Are you simply going to belief your future to the identical executives that deserted you? You assume Rory goes to again Monahan or one other swimsuit? No method. There are such a lot of particulars that also have to be ironed out as to how these two leagues will co-exist. You want somebody that’s going to command respect throughout all of golf, all of sports activities, and all of enterprise…. There’s a really brief listing of names that might be capable to accomplish this job and that listing will get even shorter for the quantity individuals that might need to do this job. And the one identify that holds extra clout than another identify on the market…Tiger Woods.
We don’t have to go over his résumé, he’s the primary identify in golf and has been for 20 plus years. It will get thrown out too usually, however he’s completely an icon. Additionally it’s vital Tiger didn’t take the LIV cash, he stayed loyal to the PGA Tour. So in the event you’re a participant on the PGA there’s no person else that you really want in your nook greater than Tiger Woods to supervise this merger. One of the best factor for the PGA and its gamers at this juncture is to maintain Tiger woods on their aspect. Greatest method to try this? Give him a seat on the desk and guarantee that seat is on the head. For now it’s Participant Director however I’m assured it received’t be lengthy till it’s PGA Commissioner Tiger Woods.
There isn’t a reputation in golf that’s extra revered than Tiger Woods. When he speaks each side will pay attention, sponsors, followers, gamers, and executives. How will these two leagues co-exist going ahead? Perhaps an finish of yr playoff LIV vs PGA culminating in a Championship Match or Super Bowl? I’m going to die on this hill…
PGA format modifications? Much less tournaments? LIV golfers taking part in PGA occasions? Joint occasions? Revenue sharing? There’s loads to resolve. The way it all will get break up needs to be for Commissioner Tiger Woods to resolve.
