PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has continued his feud with the controversial LIV Golf Series, labelling the eight-event series an exhibition, whilst sending out a fierce warning to those that have competed. The inaugural event of the Saudi-backed breakaway circuit was played out in St Albans last week, with world No. 117 Charl Schwartzel taking home the £3.8 million winning prize money.
After the event kicked off on Thursday, Monahan informed all PGA Tour members that headed to Centurion to compete - including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter - that they were suspended from the US-based circuit. Three days later the commissioner spoke once more at the Canadian Open and had another strong warning for the Saudi rebels.
Monahan joined presenter Jim Nantz as part of CBS’ coverage of the PGA Tour event north of the American border, and spoke openly about the saga that has rocked the world of golf.
