More from Bryson, Brooks, & Joaco:

quote:

Rory yesterday said he didn't think golf could be sustainable in its current form. How much do you think that the sides need to come together?

BROOKS KOEPKA: As far as what Rory said, I don't know, I don't -- it's tough to tell the future. I have no control over anything. I'm just kind of, just keep going wherever they tell me to go. Same with the PGA TOUR guys. I just don't think anybody knows the future. Nobody knows on this side. Nobody knows on that side. It's up to people that are more important than me and more important than a bunch of the players to decide.

We'll let them figure it out and go from there.

Q. Just to follow up on a question for Bryson and Joaquín, how important, whether you know what's going on or not between the sides talking, how important is it for golf that something is resolved, and is the best result of that for you guys to come together or do you think LIV will be just as well standing on its own?
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Well there's multiple ways that you can solve this problem. I think that from a player's perspective, it needs to come back together for the fans, No. 1.

The fans are what drive this sport. If we don't have fans, we don't have golf. We are not up here entertaining.
That's the most important thing as of right now, the low-hanging fruit. There's got to be a way to come together. How that comes together, that's above all of us out here.
We can give input. We can have little moments where we say, hey, we think this would be a good idea or that would be a good idea, but ultimately, it's up to the guys up top to figure it out and figure it out quickly because we can't keep going this direction. It's not sustainable for sure, and we all respect that and recognize that and want the best for the game of golf. We all love this game and we want to keep playing it and we want to keep competing.
The only answer is for us to somehow come together in some sort of terms where it makes sense and for us to be playing all again in somewhat of the same boat. It's great to have the majors where we come together, but we want to be competing, at least I want to be competing every week, with all of the best players in the world for sure.

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: I'm the same way. I feel like right now, the game of golf is kind of divided a little bit and I feel like that you've got to do it for the fans and for everybody getting more entertainment. I feel like, yeah, they have got to, it's not between us. I mean, I feel like the players, we are just here and we need to make birdies to make everything better. It's up to other people to come into an agreement and know what is going to be the best for the game and have all of those guys working into the same direction and not thinking against each other.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: And it needs to happen fast. It's not a two-year thing. Like it needs to happen quicker rather than later just for the good of the sport. Too many people are losing interest.

I do think it’s positive the public narrative now from the LIV players is is we need to come together.
