PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan shut down any possibility of a truce with LIV Golf on Wednesday, adding that the focus is on “where we are and where we’re going.”
In June, the PGA Tour sent a memo to its players announcing that Tour defectors would now be considered ineligible to play in Tour events. That prompted Phil Mickelson and 10 other players to file an antitrust lawsuit that accused the Tour of hurting their careers with the suspensions.
Four players have since dropped from the lawsuit, with Mickelson recently floating the idea of abandoning it as well afterGreg Norman talks to Phil Mickelson during the LIV Golf Invitational - London on June 9, 2022, in St. Albans, England. Monahan was also asked Wednesday if the biggest obstacle in aligning with LIV had more to do with the tour’s ties to Saudi Arabia or"golf considerations." But he explained that focus is on"where we are and where we’re going.

"You’ve heard me say before that we’re going to focus on things that we control; we have more assets at our disposal, stronger partnerships and we havetelling us that not only are they going to commit to play more, but they’re really looking at the organization to accomplish that. It’s all about where we are and where we’re going, and again, I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities there.
