“Where PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan started on LIV's human right's issues & where he ended up today. Always is/was about money,” Hummer wrote.
Scott Van Pelt got brutally honest on the situation.
“So, you preach loyalty to a tour and convince guys not to take 8 and 9 figure deals based, in part, on that loyalty and, in part, on the source of the money. Then those guys find out on Twitter YOU took the very same money? Nino Brown, ‘Always business, never personal,'” Van Pelt shared on Twitter.
Sam Stein also didn't hold back following Monahan's comments about the LIV Golf-PGA Tour merger.
“Monahan went from saying LIV was an affront to 9/11 victim families, to taking LIV cash, to (today on CNBC) saying young players ‘will be more inspired than you've been before' because of the Saudi investments in the game,” Stein wrote on Twitter.
Jay Monahan will likely have to respond to the backlash at some point. This is an uncertain situation at the moment though.
