PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan revealed changes made to the PGA Tour to counter the “arms race” from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, in cooperation with the PGA Policy Board and Player Directors, at a press conference prior to the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands on Wednesday, in Cromwell, Conn.
“If this is an arms race and if the only weapons here are dollar bills, the PGA Tour can’t compete,” said Monahan. “The PGA Tour, an American institution, can’t compete with a foreign monarchy that is spending billions of dollars in attempt to buy the game of golf.”
