Win-win for both tours but it’s a big lose for who defended the tour for last two years," tweeted South Korean An Byeong-hun.

Branding defectors like Hall of Fame golfer Phil Mickelson, former world number one Dustin Johnson, reigning PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka as free-riders, Monahan declared golfers remaining loyal would never have to apologise for being a member of the PGA Tour.
