In an open letter to PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour’s Board and fellow players, World Golf Hall of Famer Tom Watson said communication of the new partnership between the Tour and the Saudi-run Public Investment Fund was poorly handled and wondered aloud whether the players have any other options.
The note, which was sent on Monday, wished Monahan well as he battled a recent medical issue, then acknowledged that his job has been a difficult one as the Tour has attempted to stave off LIV Golf’s advances. But Watson, who won five British Opens among eight majors, said he wasn’t pleased with how the news was rolled out.
