PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan Called a Hypocrite by Players in Meeting Over LIV Merger

PGA Tour golfers are not happy with commissioner Jay Monahan following the announcement that the tour would be merging with LIV Golf and the DP World Tour.

After the merger was made public, Monahan met with players Tuesday at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto ahead of the RBC Canadian Open. Australian golfer Geoff Ogilvy told reporters that one player called the commissioner a hypocrite during the meeting, which lasted more than an hour.

"It was mentioned, yeah, and he took it," Ogilvy said, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach. "He said, 'Yeah.' He took it, for sure.
