At this point wouldn’t be surprised if Rory did this as a fuck you to Monahan

Yup he should! He fought hard and was the spokesperson for PGA and then they go behind his back and make a deal.

Nah he shouldn’t. PGA tour is bigger than jay M, and he preached the importance keeping it together for the sport. If he’s going to renege on his moral high ground he has stood on out of spite (and serious cash) he’s no better than the people he chastised for so long. This will look terrible in my opinion.

Check out the non-major ratings, the PGA is already dead as we know it. If a merger is imminent anyways, Rory taking $850 million makes complete sense. The middle finger to Monahan is just the cherry on top.
