Gary Player is not all that happy with LIV Golf and the fracture that the sport of golf has experienced. He and others have considered it fractured, and it’s hard to define it any other way over the last few years.
The gap is shrinking between the two tours, but it’s not closed. This week at the Masters, players from all tours are back together again, and it prompted intense discussion about the state of affairs.
Player said to media including Sportskeeda:
“It’s very simple. Anytime in any business whatsoever, not only in the golf business, there’s confrontation, it’s unhealthy. You’ve got to get together and come to a solution. If you cannot — it’s not good. The public don’t like it, and we as professionals don’t like it, either.”
Player says that everyone is unhappy with the situation in golf, and that conflict is not good for any business or sport. He continued, saying that the issue lies with compensation for those who stayed loyal:
“But it’s a big problem because they paid all these guys to join the LIV Tour fortunes, I mean, beyond one’s comprehension and the players that were loyal, three of us and others.
This is all dependent on the merger paving the way for LIV Golf members to come back to the PGA Tour, which seems distinctly possible right now. The loyal players turned down millions of dollars to stay at home and be without punishment, and Player is one of many who believes they should be rewarded for their stand
