Five weeks after the stunning agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Scottie Scheffler said the top players still don’t have much clarity as to the future of the Tour.
“That’s a bit worrisome,” he said Wednesday ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open. “They keep saying it’s a player-run organization, and we don’t really have the information that we need. I watched part of [Tuesday’s Senate hearing] and didn’t learn anything. So I really don’t know what to say.”
PGA Tour chief operating officer Ron Price and Jimmy Dunne, a member of the Tour policy board and a co-architect of the Tour-PIF deal, said on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that the framework agreement with the Saudis – which ended the costly litigation battle between the warring sides – was the best opportunity for the Tour to remain in control of the sport.
