“Their logic about the team play being something significant that people can get behind I think is flawed,” Waugh spoke as mentioned in Golf Monthly . “I don’t think people really care about it. And I don’t see how it’s a survivable business model.”

Continuing his stance, the chief spoke, “They can fund it for as long as they want to, but no matter how much money you have, at some point burning it doesn’t feel very good. I don’t see they are accomplishing much.”
