Nothing like finding out through Twitter that we’re merging with a tour that we said we’d never do that with.

I’ve grown up being a fan of the 4 Aces. Maybe one day I get to play for them on the PGA Tour!

Very curious how many people knew this deal was happening. About 5-7 people? Player run organization right? 🤷🏻♂️

I’m guessing the liv teams were struggling to get sponsors and pga tour couldn’t turn down the money. Win-win for both tours
but it’s a big lose for who defended the tour for last two years— Byeong Hun An (@ByeongHunAn) June 6, 2023
Soo can I play tpc sugarloaf again? @PGATOUR

Tell me why Jay Monahan basically got a promotion to CEO of all golf in the world by going back on everything he said the past 2 years. The hypocrisy. Wish golf worked like that. I guess money always wins @PGATOUR
