Adam Scott describes the unification of the PGA Tour and Liv Golf, where Liv Pros will return to the tour, which is “the way forward.” On the other hand, Rory McIlroy, last week, believed that unification was “the best thing for everyone.”
No matter what way you look at it, unification brings a big problem. Many players who joined LIV, especially in the early stages, did so for the large amount of money they paid in advance.
Many other players chose to reject Liv’s generous offer, in part because the PGA Tour declared war to anyone who joined the Upstart League, forbidding them from the tour. The decision is simple: the money now vs. the future of the PGA Tour.
But if unification happens, those who take the money go to Lef and seem to get everything. This may upset those players who are still loyal to the Tour.
Scott’s idea of unity
As chairman of the Player Advisory Committee and a Player Director of PGA Tour, Scott is more aware of the situation than most. McIlroy says anyone who is angry about unity should “overcome it”, but Scott said in a recent comment Associated Press.
Scott tells Unity AP. “If it comes with negative emotions, I won’t object to anyone, it’s the idea of the player coming back.”

He continued: “No answer to any of these things is easy. Everyone has the right to feel something about what is happening.”
Meanwhile, Scott defended the negotiations, and any hypothetical deal agreed by the player directors would consider the task they faced as a daunting task, and they “have no control over the whole situation. There is another side to the story.”
In other words, any final deal is a compromise, so the PGA Tour members won’t get everything they want. Either way, Scott would support the decision and the decision makers on the tour, which he believes is to bring the best deals for travel members.
“One thing I know is that we won’t please everyone, but everyone should know that I’m going to stand behind these players. They’re trying to do the best things for the entire membership,” Scott told AP. “In the past two years, they have faced some tough decisions – tough calls, big consequences – no matter what we vote.”
Tiger Woods talks about PGA Tour-LIV deal
Tiger Woods didn’t return to the PGA Tour operation on Genesis Invitational as he dealt with his recently lost mother, Tida.
But Woods did join CBS broadcast booth Sunday, where he shared his thoughts on negotiations and possible unification of the PGA tour.

“I think we’re in a very positive place right now. We’re having a meeting with the president. Unfortunately, I have other situations, but Jay [Monahan] and Adam [Scott]they performed well at the conference, and we have another conference to be held later. ”
Woods continued: “I think things will heal quickly. We’re going to get the game in the right direction. It’s been going in the wrong direction for years, and fans want us all to play together, all the top players together We will achieve this goal in the competition.”
And, according to Tigers, fans may not have to wait long to reach a deal. When asked if a deal could be concluded “this year” or even “soon this year,” Woods got a simple answer.
“Yes, yes.”
