The title champion of masters Scottie Scheffler shared a similar feeling earlier this week.
“I hope that some of these guys stayed, but at the end of the day, they made their choice. They knew the consequences of this decision, and I am not here to change their mind. I have no bad will towards any of these guys who left,” said Scheffler.
“They did what they wanted to do, and I cannot control their life. I will not sit here and say that they should have done something differently. They made their choice. If we want to understand why the golf game is not back together, go ask these guys. Go everywhere they play this week and discover when the game will come back together.”

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan recently called President Donald Trump “the host” in the ongoing discussions between the two parties.
Last month, the tour credited Trump for “[getting] Involved for the good of the game, “and it seems that there has been movement since he got involved.
“These discussions are real. They are substantial and are motivated at the highest levels of the two organizations. These talks have been considerably strengthened by the will of President Trump to serve as a facilitator,” said Monahan earlier this month. “President Trump is a golf fan for life. He firmly believes in the power and potential of the game, and he was extremely generous in his time and his influence to help conclude an agreement. He wants to see the game in reunification. We want to see the game together and his involvement has made the prospect of the reunification very real.”
Monahan added: “We believe that there is room to integrate important aspects of LIV golf in the PGA Tour platform”, and he could consider “a future” in which the governor of the public investment fund Yasir al-Rumayyan can join the board of directors.
