"Players have lost trust in the board because of the backdoor deals and the governance," one PGA Tour member, not authorized to formally speak on the situation, told ESPN on Monday. "The more players are getting involved, the more they realize things aren't being run like they want -- from the top down. The players have told the rest of the board they want to run it and don't trust the board. When you lose faith in the head guy, none of the players are going to pay attention anymore."
How the hell does Monahan still have a job

Since there was no exclusivity clause, the players had a full range of options to seek outside investors. That resulted in a multi-billion-dollar commitment from the Strategic Sports Group. I believe that history will look favorably on this outcome and the very real opportunities now afforded the Tour.
Seems that development has been what has really stalled the merger from moving forward. At the end of 2023, everything seemed to be moving for a deal by April of this year.
Or maybe it was getting the players more involved (which was the right thing to do), but it seems like they would want to bring everyone back together sooner rather than later.

Unifying professional golf is paramount to restoring fan interest and repairing wounds left from a fractured game. I have tried my best to move all minds in that direction.
I always figured that was the ideal solution. LIV Golf would still be around in some form, but all the best players would be playing in tournaments together more than 4x/year.

When the smartest guy in the room decides he’s out, it’s usually not good news.

Having the players deeply involved in a complex international business deal was dumb to begin with. They're just proving why they were left out for the original framework deal.
Now Cantlay and co have an echo chamber that will eventually kill the PGA or force them to cave when the SSG money runs out.

It sounds like the players controlling the tour side believe they can outlast LIV. If LIV doesn’t get OWGR points it’s a potential strategy, since ultimately elite players want to play in the majors.
Also highly dependent on the Saudis eventually wearing down or running tired of spending money. Not sure that will happen.

Interesting bit from Rory’s interview right now is PIF is working very hard to get a deal done but the PGA tour isn’t really reciprocating. I found that interesting as most on here would have said the exact opposite when the framework agreement was signed June 6th last year
