As a result of the merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, many golfers were left disappointed and with many questions left unanswered. Most of them are angry with the PGA Tour officials because they learned about the merger through social media.
It is no surprise that Xander Schauffele is among the golfers who expressed their dissatisfaction with the merger. According to this great golfer, there is still much that needs to be agreed upon when it comes to this unity.
Additionally, he emphasized that the PGA Tour does not have a good relationship with the golfers, which is a very obvious fact. “The sad part is I probably don’t even have a question they can answer,” said Schauffele, as quoted by golfmonthly.com “There just isn’t a whole lot of information out just yet.
Some sort of the agreement still needs to be written up or agreed on, I should say. Everyone wants transparency and I’m sure in their eyes they are being as transparent as they possible can be, and all of us players would like to think they are taking care of us, but if they’re not able to give us any answers, that means there aren’t any”.
Xander Schauffele on the disappointment of other golfers
There is no doubt that many golfers are feeling calmer now compared to when they learned about the merger for the first time. The situation could deteriorate in the future if they don’t receive answers to their questions, or if they are not included in some of the decision-making processes in the future.
“Probably wouldn’t be too hard to re-heat the soup,” said Schauffele. “But, yeah, guys, Tour pros typically are pretty good at compartmentalizing and blocking out stuff and getting ready for game day. I was shocked obviously.
Yeah, like I said, I’m not one to speculate. My range of emotions was from day one to now, you know, pretty wide, I would say. I’m not sure what the temperature of the room is to be completely honest, but I would say guys are trying to focus on playing well and moving up the FedExCup list”.
