If there are concrete progress in conversations between the PGA Tour and Liv Golf, Justin Thomas did not know when he ventilated frustration over the dragging negotiations and limited information available to his comrades.
While PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan quoted “significant progress”, Thomas said he is holding his head down and playing golf because he is not sure what to do when the merger is approaching his second anniversary.
“I think we’re the kind of level of exhaustion,” said Thomas, 31, Tuesday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the Players Championship site this week.
“There are only so many of us, really on both sides, both on tour and I think Liv players, that we do not really know what is happening and we just play golf and hope for the best and because there is much that we do not know and that we cannot control.”
Thomas won the players in 2021 before Cameron Smith won in 2022 and Scottie Scheffler laughed on the following victories at TPC Sawgrass. A week after Rory McIlroy doubted the instant of a potential union between life and PGA Tour, Thomas said that he understands that it may not matter where players are on what they consider to be a tired subject.
“It’s not like you or anyone can say,” okay, this is what we should do, “said Thomas.” I obviously think everyone has to be on the same page, and I think that when it comes to that level I do not know if the government gets involved. There are only so many things over my grade that is involved that I do not know about that I probably should not or cannot talk to. “
Monahan acknowledged that LIV’s position and leverage have probably changed since the framework agreement between the circles was signed in June 2023.
Thomas said he knows that the PGA tour has been a beneficiary of the interruption Liv Golf Circuit, especially with increased tournament assignments and other opportunities that did not exist before the golf landscape began to change. He still does not agree with some of the maneuver made to get to this point.
“There are a couple of guys like a Phil [Mickelson] or a brush [DeChambeau] That how they went to it may not be exactly how I would have, but they said some things that had some value to them or had some truth, “said the Tour winner on 15 o’clock.
“It’s hard to say, has it made the golf game better? Yes, maybe done some things on tour that have improved the tour, but Game of Golf as a whole, if it is separated into different [tours] And create some enmity, then it is not necessarily better. “
