The ongoing battle between PGA Tour and LIV Golf seems to have no end, as players and personnel from both Tours have been constantly dissing each other. In the latest development, the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan has his say on whether they would link with the Saudi-backed Tour soon. But does the Commissioner want to work with LIV Golf?

Despite all the new initiations, many believe the lucrative series holds an upper hand in the battle of Tours. Some even believe that the PGA Tour must link up with the LIV Golf to avoid further disruption in the sport. Jay Monahan, who was appointed as the Commissioner of the American Tour back in 2017, finally shared his thoughts on this idea.

PGA Tour Commissioner speaks on the idea of collaboration with LIV Golf

Ahead of the 2022 Presidents Cup, Monahan interviewed with Golf Monthly. Since the event has no LIV Golf player involved, the commissioner must have expected the tournament to go on without any nuisance regarding the lucrative series. However, in the interview, Jay Monahan was asked about the rumors of a link between the rival Tour in the future.

“I think I’ve been pretty clear on this, I don’t see it happening,” said Monahan. “When you look at where we are and you think about words and actions, we are currently in a lawsuit, so coming together and having conversations, to me that card is off the table and has been for a long period of time.”

The Commissioner further talked about how the PGA Tour has the best golf talent in the world and the competition in the Tour is supreme. He also shared how the 92-year-old Tour will improve further to excite the golf fans. Notably enough, Jay Monohan also emphasized the Tour’s rich legacy and traditions.

Monahan said, “When you look at the PGA Tour and you look at where we are today and you look at what it is that we try and accomplish every single day, what’s our focus – to put the best competitive platform forward for the best players in the world to achieve at the highest level, to win the championships that have history, that have tradition, that create legacy”.

Though the Tour has taken all the measures to compete with its nemesis, what about the future?

After talking about the past legacy and tradition, Monahan also talked about the future of the 92-year-old Tour. He said, “And that is what we are going to continue to do, and we’re going to continue to get better at it, we’re going to continue to get stronger at it”.

In the end, the PGA Tour commissioner stated that the Tour has all the weapons for the future, whether it’s partnerships or the best players. Moreover, the Tour will focus on things that they would be able to control. He ended by saying, “So it’s all about where we are and where we’re going.”

Greg Norman, who is the commissioner of LIV Golf, also has the same school of thought as the PGA Tour commissioner. The LIV Chief ruled out the idea of a mutually beneficial resolution. With this year just being the beginning of a long-term battle, we still have a lot of drama unfolding both on the course as well as off the course.

Will both Tours work together in the future? What do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
