Golf legend Jack Nicklaus appears to be on board with the historic merger between the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and the DP World Tour, which came unexpectedly on Tuesday.

Jack Nicklaus reacts to a putt on the 10th hole during a celebrity shootout after the second round of The Ally Challenge at Warwick Hills Golf And Country Club on August 27, 2022 in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

"I don’t mean that in a nasty way," he told Golfweek during his annual Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club, also known as Jack’s Place."This is a PGA Tour event, and we have the best field we can possibly have for a PGA Tour event for those who are eligible to be here. The other guys made a choice of what they did and where they’ve gone, and we don’t even talk about it.

Jay Monahan, Commissioner of the PGA Tour speaks to the media in a press conference prior to THE PLAYERS Championship on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 07, 2023 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. "Going forward, fans can be confident that we will, collectively, deliver on the promise we’ve always made — to promote competition of the best in professional golf and that we are committed to securing and driving the game’s future," the statement read.
