said Tuesday."And I want to take a moment to do something that I’d ever thought I do on national television and that’s give PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan some love and some credit here.
"This is America. We’re in a capitalistic society. We do business globally not just nationally. That’s the way of the world. So for me, to see the PGA commissioner, Jay Monahan, really come to his senses and go about the business of making sure to omit and eradicate these lawsuits … I think it was a beautiful, beautiful thing. I absolutely loved it."
The news of the merger broke shortly after 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, with Monahan releasing a statement regarding the partnership. "This transformational partnership recognizes the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and pro-competitive model and combines with it the DP World Tour and LIV – including the team golf concept – to create an organization that will benefit golf’s players, commercial and charitable partners and fans," Monahan said in a press release.
