PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan admits players who turned down LIV Golf to remain loyal could be compensated after the shock merger between the tours.
Golf has been involved in a civil war for 12 months following the introduction of LIV Golf, but has rivalled the PGA and DP World Tours. Big names had defected to the rebel tour, receiving huge up-front sums to make the switch, whilst others had opted to remain where they were.
The likes of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, arguably the sport's two biggest names, opted to stay with the PGA Tour and have been vocal in their opposition to the Saudi-backed tour. Now, after the three competitions came together on Tuesday, Monahan concedes discussions will take place about financially compensating those who turned down LIV offers.
