Four-time major champion threw his support behind the embattled leader of the PGA Tour on Wednesday, Bob Weeks writes.
A day after the PGA commissioner’s performance became a hot topic in the media centre at the Players Championship, McIlroy threw his support behind the embattled leader of the tour.
McIlroy might be in the minority when it comes to fully backing Monahan. Since the blow-up of June 6 at the RBC Canadian Open when it was revealed the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the backers of LIV Golf, were in secret negotiations, Monahan has been trying to regain the trust of the players. The support has ranged from a full backing to those who wonder why he still has a job.
McIlroy, for instance, feels there should be more money available for fewer players. It was a statement he made a week ago and for many, it came out like a burst of elitism. On Tuesday, he didn’t back down from his words, but he did attempt to provide more explanation. “If I were to put my own perspective on it, I think it's because fans are fatigued of what's going on in the game,” he said. “I think we need to try to re-engage the fan and re-engage them in a way that the focus is on the play and not on talking about equity and all the rest of it.”
