The meeting lasted more than an hour, before players finally filed out, most with blank looks on their face, and next to none interested in discussing what had gone on inside. Forty-somethings Aaron Baddeley and Geoff Ogilvy were among the few who stopped to speak with Golf Channel, but the vast majority of players weren’t in the mood for conversation.
Whether unhappy, angry, or simply still processing what they had heard, it was hard to blame them. For the past year, Monahan had worked furiously to sell players on the value and values of the PGA Tour. The silver-haired, silver-tongued commissioner had promised players they could sleep easy knowing their tour would unflinchingly remain firmly on the moral high ground, even going as far as to say that no player would ever have to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour.
“The biggest thing for me is the loss of trust,” Mackenzie Hughes told Postmedia, walking through the parking lot after the meeting. “You can see how, as players, we would feel conflicted. We don’t have a say on a players-run tour. He says it’s ‘your Tour,’ but it’s not. That’s the feeling. That we don’t have any say in the matter.”
