While back surgery has kept Plano’s Will Zalatoris off the golf course, he’s stayed up to speed with the surprising merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf....

The $100 million mark was thrown out there, give or take a few $20-30 million. You turned LIV down and multiple times came and said, ‘it’s not happening.’ Are you fine with the decision? I know it bothers you a little.“It does a little bit, but the reality is I’ve never really talked about even the rumors publicly. The beauty of it is, the rumors are basically true but there’s a catch: It’s gonna be six years for me.

“To me, it’s invaluable being able to show up and do something every day that I get to basically control my own destiny. I show up and I’m not controlled by anything else. It’s my job and I’m an independent contractor at the end of the day, even though that’s gonna be a fun subject over the next 24 months. There’s a lot of processing, a lot of emotions through all this. At the end of the day, I think this is the best-case scenario that we had given the deck of cards.

“To be totally honest, I don’t know, I think, you know, this is so raw and so fresh still and this framework agreement is so vague. The coming out of saying it was a merger yesterday is a little aggressive, I would say, because the reality is that Jay is at the head of this. He’s now going to be the CEO and running the LIV guys’ careers, which is going to be pretty comical. I don’t know how much you can say that the PGA Tour right now trusts JayWe’ll see what happens.

“The only reason why the player meeting ended yesterday, and it sounds like I’m sure Jay had to have been happy that the player meeting ended after an hour, was we had to go to a player advisory council call and a group of other guys got on another call after just to understand what’s going on. I think the big thing that [Tiger] is preaching right now is just patience. He’s a guy who has been preaching patience through all this.

“Having this quick of a reaction, without having the details, there has to have been some reason why this happened. The other part too, is we haven’t taken any money from them yet. We don’t know what’s we don’t know how this thing is structured. We just have an agreement that we’re going to work together, essentially, but we’re going to be the overseeing power of all things.
