PGA Tour member Michael Kim admits he does not want the PGA Tour to strike a merger deal with LIV Golf after Rory McIlroy claimed some players on both sides of the divide are happy for the split to remain.
Ahead of this week's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, McIlroy suggested a deal is being stymied by an unwillingness from certain members on both tours to see the game reunified. The Northern Irishman said: "I'd say maybe half the players on LIV want the deal to get done; half probably don't. I'd say it's probably similar on the PGA Tour.
In response to McIlroy's comments, rank-and-file PGA Tour member Kim – a one-time winner and the world No. 164 – admitted a merger is not in the best interests of players like him. "This realistically only affects the top 30ish golfers on the PGA Tour and they’ll probably make more money after this deal. You can make the argument that if the players come back, it’ll be better for the PGA Tour, and bring more interest but I find that hard to believe.
