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.

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.

the first time that a significant portion of coverage was missed at an event of the Tour. Adding on to the pre-existing problems of the Tour. As a result, the fans have made demands for significant improvements. Although, the journey does not seem to have ended and more is to come in the future
