Jordan Spieth has opened up on conversations held by PGA Tour leaders Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in the response to rivals LIV Golf.
In what has gone down as a controversial move earlier this week, the PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced a revamp of some of its biggest events outside the majors. The shake-up to the tournaments, known as elevated events, will see the field sizes cut to 70-78 players and the absence of a 36-hole cut with a designated £16m purse.
As they endeavoured to fend off any threat from the controversial Saudi-backed circuit, Spieth acknowledged the meeting called by Woods and McIlroy last year as vital for setting out the PGA Tour’s response to the LIV threat.
